There was a sentence that sounded very harsh, but Lin Sanjiu couldn't get it out of her mind.
...Having the former guard follow you is like having a good dog.
The "reconstructive surgery" was finally completed a few hours ago; the next step was to let the puppeteer rest alone in the room and regain consciousness. Not long after a few people came back, four or five people were wearing surgical clothes.
The so-called "surgeon" of the NPC rushed into his ward and locked the door behind him. Lin Sanjiu and others were waiting outside the door, and a round of lava game would have passed as soon as they waited - if it hadn't been for her
I bought two rounds of wards in advance, and I was afraid that he would be thrown out halfway through the operation.
And in this process, the former guard initially served tea and water, and ran errands to help, and gradually upgraded to a handyman for several people: guarding the door for the puppet master in the recovery process, or going out to inquire about information, and even helping Bo
Simia washed five or six pairs of socks - now they are hanging on the door of her room like a row of colorful flags - although to be honest, Lin Sanjiu couldn't remember when she wore socks and serious shoes.
.
As long as Lin Sanjiu could occasionally give him some points, he seemed willing to be a piece of shit.
Of course, she always kept one eye secretly observing him; but she had to admit that there was really nothing suspicious about the former guard.
...until the door closed behind Yajiang, and the former guard immediately jumped up from the floor and rushed to Lin Sanjiu's side.
"What are you doing?" She asked with a frown as she sat on the hospital bed and was about to start some meditation exercises to restore her consciousness.
"I have something to say," he lowered his eyelids and hesitated a little: "It's all about my feelings and so on. Maybe you will find it unreasonable..."
"Say it."
"Well...I think," the former guard glanced at the door, "when he goes out, you should guard the door of the puppet master's room...or, or let me go, but I
The combat power is not good, and there are no special items..."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for two seconds before she realized that the "person going out" meant Yajiang. "What do you mean?" she asked.
The former guard bit his lips tightly, and after a while, he said like squeezing out toothpaste: "I... think there's something wrong with him. I'm a little, well, I'm a little afraid of him. I don't know what he would do alone...
However, isn't the puppet master still awake? Although outsiders can't enter, I think it's right to be careful..."
That slender-waisted ant-like Crow River? Is it scary?
She looked the former guard up and down. "Why do you say that?"
"I have no evidence, it's just my perception of people." The former guard said hesitantly, "I have always been an insignificant role. It feels like because I am born inconspicuous, many people don't care about my existence...
When in front of me, they never think of covering up or modifying their behavior. Ah, so I know you are a reliable person, because your attitude towards me and others is the same... In short, I feel that he
When I'm with you, I behave differently."
To be honest, Lin Sanjiu was very fed up.
Before Wei Xing died, he said that there was something wrong with the former guard; she spent a lot of energy observing him, but found nothing. Now the former guard said that there was something wrong with Yajiang - as if she could not be completely at ease as long as there were people around her, and she had to be alone to dare to relax.
The tone sounds like that. Regardless of whether they are sincere or not, everyone in this place seems to be always speculating and suspicious of others, and always pretending to cover up themselves.
"I understand." She only gave these four lukewarm words.
The former guard hesitated and stood beside the hospital bed for a few seconds, but returned to his mattress without saying anything.
Although she repeatedly warned herself not to fall into that kind of mentality and not to doubt her friends, after Yajiang came back, Lin Sanjiu found that she couldn't help but quietly started to pay attention to him. Indeed, she and Yajiang had not known each other for a long time.
, more like companions who occasionally walked together for a while; but from her point of view, Yajiang's attitude towards her was the same as before, and it didn't sound like he wanted to take advantage of her, nor did he seem to be holding back his energy to harm her. Who knows? Maybe?
Yajiang is just a bit snobbish and has a bad attitude towards unimportant people - this is not a big deal.
She decided to put this matter into the "see before we talk" folder in her mind.
Once you have the points and the goal, the period of waiting for the puppet master to wake up will be much easier; apart from being wary of whether there are any evolved people around, it is like retiring - it is almost evening in the outside world
, several people were busy working for a while, and moved the medical cabinet to the bedside to serve as a table, ready to sit down and have a good dinner together.
"That old man is really pitiful,"
In the midst of the storm, Bohemia suddenly took the time to look up from her bowl and said, "Didn't I go out for a walk in the afternoon, and I saw him nearby again."
Lin Sanjiu didn't want to ask, but she didn't stop: "... Holding his sister's head, he walked along the corner in despair. He looked like that, and he really didn't want to get close to him. Oh, the recovery ointment is gone.
I don’t know who scratched my face with two bloody wounds... I asked people when I saw them if I could give him some extra recovery ointment.”
"He hasn't given up yet?" Lin Sanjiu just wanted to sigh.
Bohemia fiddled with her beef sausage a few times, but stopped putting it in her mouth. "No... that head seems to be starting to smell a little bit."
"Don't get close to him next time," Yajiang interjected, "God knows how he returned to his original state. If there is any hidden method, it would be too dangerous to get close."
Bohemian's mind seemed to be elsewhere, and he just nodded after hearing this.
Lin Sanjiu wanted to change the subject, so she added some water to several people's cups and asked, "Do you know of any way to open the puppet master's ward door?"
"What are you going to do!" Bohemia shook her head, and the topic about Shi Ming was immediately forgotten: "Don't do this kind of thing less. After he comes out, you can tell him, yes
We saved him - now you do this kind of thing, what if you are discovered!"
"I want to see how he is recovering," Lin Sanjiu said in a good voice. "Those NPC surgeons didn't say they couldn't go in. Besides, if we can find suitable special items from him,
Then while we are waiting for him to wake up, we can draw the lottery and complete the carousel."
"I'm fine, I can wait," Bohemia's face turned pale, "Stop talking, you have suicidal tendencies."
Okay. When Lin Sanjiu was about to lower her head to eat, she heard her mumble again: "...If he really had a tool to enhance his luck, would he still be able to meet you?"
Although people were reluctant to admit it, this sentence seemed to have some truth. Just looking at the unlucky appearance of the puppet master, she felt that she could not place all her hopes on him - fortunately, apart from him, she
There are other fallback measures.
After dinner, she went to Bohemia's ward alone; only here could she close her eyes for a while and focus on what she should do.
Fifty-five-year-old's situation seems to have cast a shadow on Bohemia's mind, which has never left her. After the two of them sat down for a while, she sighed again and mentioned the old man - this was really unlikeable.
Bohemian style.
"I have always thought that fate is really a joke," she whispered. "God allowed him to recover from that miserable state and save his life, only to wake up and find that he had lost the same life as his."
Important things. If you ask me, I'm afraid he feels that he might as well be dead now...Eh? What are you doing?"
Lin Sanjiu showed [eBay] to her.
"I relied on it to escape from the lab last time," she explained. "This time we can also look on [eBay] to see if there are any luck-enhancing props that we can buy."
It wasn't until she held [eBay] in her hand and closed her eyes that she heard Bohemia say angrily in disbelief: "Yes, you have already contacted Gong Daoyi... We have to hide it from others.
There are probably too many things about the puppet master."
After the room was quiet for a while, Lin Sanjiu suddenly opened her eyes again - she had just read the first page of the list of items for sale on eBay.
She unconsciously turned the special plastic piece-like object between her fingers a few times, and asked with a bit of hesitation: "You just said..."
"I want to hide the puppet master's matter——"
"No, you just said, fate really can joke?"
Bohemia nodded blankly.
Lin Sanjiu felt like she was sitting in a dark cinema and felt someone kicking her chair from behind. Some kind of indescribable feeling was just at the edge of her consciousness, trying to tell her
What happened? The more she tried to catch it, the farther away the feeling got.
When she was fighting with her erratic intuition, someone knocked on the iron door. As soon as the door opened, the former guard ducked in and gasped: "Please, let me sit here.
, don’t let me be alone with him, really, I can’t even breathe..."
"Who is it?" Bohemia looked like she had heard a lie: "Crow River? It makes you unable to breathe?"
The former guard nodded and turned his eyes to the [eBay] in Lin Sanjiu's hand. "Eh?" He was stunned, "You have one too?"
Who else?
Lin Sanjiu glanced at eBay, her eyes locked on the face of the former guard. Her body seemed to have reacted first, a layer of sweat was forming on her palms, and her throat was dry and tight;
Under her weighty gaze, the former guard stammered: "Well... when I was in that ward just now, because I didn't want to talk to him anymore, I closed my eyes to rest... and then I heard something on Yao Jiang.
Something beeped, and I looked through the cracks of my eyelids...just in time to see him take out this thing."
