For a moment, Lin Sanjiu almost thought that the puppet master was crazy.
It is said that if a person has been suffering from hatred for a long time, his mind will be somewhat abnormal - but she opened her mouth several times, but she couldn't even make a sound; she couldn't tell the effect of "[The Torrent of Time]"
"How long are you left?" and I can't ask "What does it mean that you were teleported away?"
She had aged to this extent without even realizing it.
Lin Sanjiu was speechless, but Bohemia did not dare to speak. The air was silent for a while, and the puppet master suddenly glanced down from the corner of his eye and glanced past her.
"Don't get me wrong," he smiled sinisterly, "[The torrent of time] will make people age and die, but it doesn't mean that you can really live peacefully until old age. This is just an assumption."
This sentence fell into Lin Sanjiu's ears, and she didn't react for a while. When its subtext slowly settled, she finally understood, and a sudden burst of strength came from nowhere, and she suddenly raised her head.
Head: "You - if you say this, it means -"
The puppeteer turned around and walked towards the trees. He didn't even mean to stop. He walked far away in the blink of an eye. Only his voice was still clear: "You're as lucky as dog piss."
, one lucky move can knock someone over."
This, this means that the effect of [The Torrent of Time] has ended, right? If she was indeed striding towards death, the puppeteer would be happy before it was too late, and would not say "This does not mean that you will grow old safely".
talk.
"Help...help me," Lin Sanjiu had the strength to speak again. I don't know whether it was due to psychological effects or because her body was gradually rejuvenating.
Bohemia didn't hear it at first, and was only busy groping her hair and cheeks; until her fingers were hooked by the long golden-brown curly hair again, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief, looked around, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to
Lin Sanjiu pulled herself up from the ground.
When Lin Sanjiu was lying on the ground, she had to rely on the strength of others to stand up; but when she stood firmly on her feet, her back was able to straighten, and her wrinkles and spots were stretched out by the smooth and plump skin, and her field of vision was
It becomes clear again as if it had been washed with water.
With only a narrow gap, the two of them almost became dead people on the ground——
When Lin Sanjiu was dying just now, she just couldn't feel happy. Now as soon as the energy and strength returned to her body, she seemed to be filled with fuel. She couldn't help but feel angry when she thought of this. The puppet master had no intention of killing her, but
He would never put any extra thought into her safety - these things actually don't matter, but Bohemia has been affected repeatedly because of her, and has been in danger several times so far.
"Wait for me here." She whispered to Bohemia, "Don't go over until I ask you to go over."
"What are you going to do again?" Just as she was about to leave, Bohemia suddenly grabbed her with her backhand: "Do you still want to catch up and settle the score?"
Lin Sanjiu actually didn't know what she wanted to do - she hesitated for a few seconds and replied: "I...I'll talk to him."
She also knew that this was akin to wishful thinking.
"I really don't understand you," Bohemia glanced at the figure in the distance and whispered eagerly: "Even if you want him to live, what role can you play by his side? I think he is more
I might be mad at you first. Besides, why do you feel unhappy? You clearly know that the puppet master... Sir, is like that. If you don't leave, you should be mentally prepared for this."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned and couldn't answer anything for a moment.
"Let's go," Bohemia reached out and pulled her up, her golden brown eyes shining with the sunlight that was getting brighter at noon: "...After all, aren't we all alive yet? I still know what I looked like in my last life. This
Maybe it's a clue."
After being disturbed by her, when the two of them caught up with the puppet master outside the woods again, Lin Sanjiu was finally able to suppress her anger. She didn't look at Bohemia's wide eyes.
He only caught up a few steps and asked in a low voice from behind the pitch-black figure: "When you used [Torrent of Time], didn't you even look at our position?"
"Are you pretty?"
Just four words can arouse her anger again. Lin Sanjiu deliberately suppressed her voice lower and calmer to avoid losing control of her emotions: "...If you want to go back on your word, just come and kill me.
I will definitely stand and not run away. However, my friends should not be implicated."
If the puppet master suddenly turned around and knocked her away, or sneered at her so-called friendship, or even showed by his actions that he didn't care what she said, it wouldn't surprise her - but these few moments
He didn't do anything.
He didn't even turn his head.
The shiny and neat black hair, combed back, against the pale skin, looked as sharp and shocking as thick ink.
Amidst the slight, rhythmic creaking of leather, Lin Sanjiu held her breath and followed him for a long time before finally hearing his words that were almost inaudible.
"You can go."
After a pause, he continued, but still did not look back: "You said you would help me find Gong Daichi. Now that you have brought me the Great Miko, this promise has been fulfilled. You can go, take it with you
Get away from that piece of trash fish of yours."
Lin Sanjiu did not expect such a reaction. She slowed down and asked in a low voice: "...When he comes, do you want to see him alone?"
"I heard that nosy people don't live long. I welcome you to continue."
"Is it because...Gong Daoyi is dangerous? You don't want us to get involved?"
"You are such a smart-ass genius."
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip and was about to ask, "Are your injuries healed?" when she suddenly realized - she originally thought Doctor Cat was waiting for them outside the forest, but now he was walking among the hills.
It's been a while, but there's no sign of Doctor Cat anywhere.
"Didn't I say," the puppet master said coolly, "...I have been teleported away once. Didn't you notice that my puppet is also missing?"
"Wait a minute," Lin Sanjiu's thoughts were drawn back to this issue, and she hurriedly waved to Bohemia to come closer: "Were you teleported away?"
This makes no sense at all, and it is impossible for him to go to another planet in space and come back in a short period of time. "Being teleported away means that you are no longer here... But since you are still here, then
How did you teleport away and then come back... So, Doctor Cat..."
"I smell something burning...is your brain burning?"
When she was still close to the knife of language, Bohemia also caught up, still looking honest. The puppet master suddenly stopped and turned around slightly - luckily Lin Sanjiu stopped in time.
, so I didn’t hit him head-on.
"...You really don't want to leave?"
He still didn't look at the two of them, his gaze fell far away on the mountains and woods. Blue lines floated under his matte white skin, and it seemed as if the sun was a little stronger, and he would evaporate and disappear at any time.
Lin Sanjiu thought about it. The bohemian beside her winked at her for a long time, and the meaning was obviously very clear, but she just pretended not to see it: "I... I think it would be good to have many companions on the road, and someone to take care of her.
"
The puppeteer was silent for a while, then turned his head again, picked up the speed again, and walked forward. The plains slowly faded out at some point, and fields pierced by roads spread out on the land, and traces of human beings were about to disappear.
It reappeared before my eyes.
"You will leave."
No matter what he said, Lin Sanjiu turned a deaf ear. She decided by herself when to leave, and didn't intend to listen to others telling her what to do. But this pride could only swirl in her stomach, and it was enough for her to know.
"So, what exactly is the teleportation you are talking about? Where is Doctor Cat?"
"Look at the highway and farmland in the distance." The puppet master asked as he walked. Although his tone was calm, his speed was so fast that the two people behind him were out of breath: "What do you think is missing?"
What's missing?
Lin Sanjiu looked up and looked around, feeling that the human area that was getting closer and closer looked very ordinary: telephone poles, street lights, highways, street signs, endless fruit trees, and large advertisements on the roadside.
Card……
"Is...there's someone missing?" she asked tentatively.
Hearing this, Bohemia snorted from her nose and said, "If you could see people wherever you go, it wouldn't be called the end of the world. Not to mention you are so far away."
"Your slowness is amazing." The puppet master raised his hand slightly and compared it with the road in the distance: "Didn't you notice? There is not even a mushroom in such a large area."
"Really!" Bohemia couldn't help but exclaimed, "Your Excellency, you know exactly what's going on - shouldn't this kind of area developed by humans be a mushroom society? Ants don't live in cities. Could it be?
Say, is there any human society that doesn’t rely on either side?”
"No." The puppet master waved his hand, stopping the two from moving forward, "Stop at the edge of the road, don't walk up."
Lin Sanjiu was full of questions and could only be ridiculed when she asked them. She simply didn't say a word and followed the puppet master to a stop on a slope a few hundred meters away from the highway.
"[The torrent of time] should be a by-product of the great flood."
When he opened his mouth, Lin Sanjiu and Lin Sanjiu were startled. "The great flood disrupted the rules of teleportation and threw me to the next world in less than fourteen months. I got the [Torrent of Time]
】, it was also because of the sudden onset of the flood. When the teleportation occurred, I was tracking a few people from the ant nest all the way here, over this slope, and onto the road... Then, those people from the ant nest came again.
I turned around and went back. I walked along the road for a while, wondering what the purpose of their visit was. When I lowered my head, I found that my body was gradually disappearing."
This is indeed the performance during teleportation - Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but ask: "Where did you teleport to?"
"The Edible Truth." The puppeteer seemed uncomfortable having to talk to her so much. When he listened carefully, he could tell the vague irritability: "...I was transported back to the Edible Truth."
"Impossible," her first reaction was these words. When she looked at Bohemia again, she obviously had the same thought: "You can't teleport from the same world to the same world, because this is not called teleportation at all.
Even if it’s a big flood, it’s—”
"Who said it's the same world?" A voice like an ice knife cut off her unfinished words. The puppeteer glanced at the highway in the distance and the direction in which the highway went away, and smiled coldly: "...that highway
Next to it is another apocalyptic world. After I accidentally crossed over to another apocalyptic world, a great flood occurred and sent me back again. Now, has the burnt smell gone from your brain?"
