They had been walking together for several days, and it was only now that Lin Sanjiu realized that no one knew where the puppet master was going.
Silence fell for the first time, and in the roaring sea wind, it was gradually blown away by a bit of embarrassment; several people looked at each other, and no one was willing to open his mouth to speak first, and they were all waiting for the other unlucky guy to finish the sentence first.
Let me ask." He said it.
"That..." After a while, Yu Yuan finally coughed.
Lin Sanjiu pursed her lips tightly and made a sound from between her lips: "Huh?"
"You are more familiar with him..." Yu Yuan said matter-of-factly.
"But you have a better relationship with him," Lin Sanjiu pointed out quickly.
"No, you misunderstood," Yu Yuan waved his hand quickly, "By the way, Yuan Xiangxi——"
"What happened to Yuan Xiangxi?" Yuan Xiangxi asked with a drooping face.
"Anyway, you won't be in pain and you won't die again." Lin Sanjiu also joined in the work of persuading him to surrender. "I'm familiar with him too..."
"I'm dead and you still won't let me rest in peace?" Yuan Xiangxi was very unhappy. He slid down from the edge of the wooden box and sat down in an unwilling heap. "You think I'm a ghost? I
Wouldn’t you feel sad if you were verbally insulted?”
"Me too," Yu Yuan said immediately, "I am no longer a data body, I have feelings."
I didn’t co-author it?
Lin Sanjiu looked around and was really angry; but when it came to reasoning, she was not as good as Yu Yuan, and when it came to pleading and acting coquettishly, she was not as good as Yuan Xiangxi - after a few quarrels, she finally took out the
Communicator.
When it comes to who the puppet master is most angry with right now, Lin Sanjiu has to take off this crown even if he wants to be modest.
Using his things to save his life in an emergency was not a big sin; the problem was that when she took out the props one by one and returned them to him, she realized from the face of the puppet master that she had
I explained it myself - if I hadn't searched through it for him, how could I have found everything hanging from my earlobes, in the metal buckles on my waist, and in the feather bushes on my wrists?
The only reason that allowed her to survive this level was that the puppet master would never take the initiative to speak clearly, so she just pretended to be stupid until now.
"Oh, you want to know the destination." The puppet master's almost plain voice sounded from the communicator.
"Yes, everyone wants to know... where to go next..."
"What? Afraid of different paths?" the puppet master said considerately, "Then let's go our separate ways. I'll fall down for you now. I'm not afraid of polluting the ocean."
"No, no, that's not what I meant," Lin Sanjiu said bravely, "The main thing is that we want to understand..."
"Oh, I want to know something." The puppet master's tone was still very calm and friendly, "Are you sure? If such complicated information as place names takes up the bandwidth in your brain, can you still figure out how to read the face?
Are you panting through the hole? If you can't figure it out and are suffocated, today will be my birthday?"
Lin Sanjiu was very sure that the look Yuan Xiangxi and Yu Yuan exchanged meant, "Look, luckily it's not us."
"Maybe I know that place..."
"This is a huge misunderstanding," the puppet master sincerely advised, "You don't even know that person is you when you look in the mirror."
It's so difficult.
"So, where is it..." she asked with difficulty.
"Want to know?"
"I think," Lin Sanjiu regretted it as soon as she said it.
The puppet master sneered with satisfaction, and the communicator was hung up.
When she turned her head, she saw two faces that were both disappointed and not surprised.
"If you are not satisfied, ask yourself!"
"It's okay, don't worry," Yu Yuan hurriedly comforted, "You can try again later."
Lin Sanjiu would rather not have this kind of comfort.
"I think he will talk after he has vented his anger," Yuan Xiangxi offered his insight.
"Forget it," Lin Sanjiu simply didn't want to pay attention to them. "If he doesn't say it, don't say it. I have a backup plan. You two sit apart."
Surrounded by the gazes of the two, she waved her hand and called out the Goddess - the Goddess didn't seem to expect that she was actually thrown into a crowded and swaying wooden crate high in the sky, barely able to stand.
It was Lin Sanjiu who quickly caught her.
"Predict the destination?" The goddess seemed to rarely receive such specific work tasks. She sat down cross-legged, turned to look at the sky and sea, and said absently: "I can try, but predict it, just like a writer.
Sometimes, if you seek inspiration deliberately, you will not get any results..."
At this time, why don't you advertise your ability to "see the invisible corner of destiny"? Lin Sanjiu sneered.
Being "reliable" has never been an advantage of the Goddess. Even Yuan Xiangxi, who was full of curiosity at the beginning, gradually turned into distrust after the Goddess changed his mind several times. He leaned over and whispered to Lin San.
Jiu asked: "Is this really predictable? Are you bullying me for not having much experience in life?"
Anyway, it is better than taking the initiative to get stabbed by the puppet master. The worst thing is to leave blindly, Lin Sanjiu thought, not knowing the destination does not hurt the hair, anyway, the puppet master can't sell them - probably not.
"Yes, yes!" The goddess suddenly slapped her thigh, a little more excited than them, "Listen up -"
Everyone fell silent, watching her raise her eyes, and her eyes suddenly became empty, as if what they were seeing was not the same blue sky above their head, but something elusive beyond the blue sky, outside the world.
What she said was completely beyond Lin Sanjiu's expectations.
"There is a creature that has been standing in a certain place for many years, and has been waiting... The evolvers that come and go, like running water, have all been ruined beside it..." The goddess's eyes were misty, and she murmured.
Said: "Such a tough, beautiful and terrifying creature... always trying to reach out to you and grab you..."
The wooden box became quiet, and a patch of hair stood up on Lin Sanjiu's arms.
She had almost forgotten this prophecy; there was no "creature that wanted to capture her" anywhere in her sight, in her life, but the goddess said the same prophecy twice, did it mean that
The creature in the dark never gave up and even got closer to her?
"Is... is it Occasion?" Lin Sanjiu finally asked after the goddess returned to normal.
"I don't know either," the goddess spread her hands and said, "But generally speaking, after the prophecy becomes reality, I won't say it again. Who would, right? Now you have been hunted down by Xoncyus.
Once, the prophecy is still there, I think this means it’s not him.”
"It shouldn't be an evolver," Yu Yuan said with a frown. "The prophecy said that the creature has been waiting somewhere for a long time... If it is an evolver, how can it not be affected by teleportation and the great flood?"
Although the words made sense, the goddess's prophecies had always been erratic and vague, and often could not be understood literally - even though Lin Sanjiu couldn't think of any other explanation for that sentence.
After putting away the goddess, several people forgot to ask about the destination. Instead, they gathered together, analyzing and guessing, but for a long time they didn't come up with a result.
They were engrossed in the discussion, but the discussion gradually subsided and turned into casual chat. After a while, Yu Yuan suddenly raised his head and said, "Wait a minute... our speed has slowed down."
The three heads stood up from behind the edge of the wooden box. In the wind that gradually stopped, they finally opened their eyes completely. What Yu Yuan said was true. The black squares scattered everywhere in the sky seemed to be all.
Slowly sliding towards an end.
"Are we here?" Yuan Xiangxi said blankly, "But we are still at sea...I think the land is still far away."
When several people looked around, there was a "buzz" sound, and the communicator was connected again.
"Um," Lin Sanjiu asked carefully, "is this the destination?"
"It's not mine," the puppeteer replied, "but it's yours."
What's the meaning?
"I'm going to the shore over there," he said, sounding irritated, "so jump in quickly."
"Ah?" Lin Sanjiu was surprised and asked, "Why?"
"My aircraft landed ashore with a wooden box," the puppeteer said with resentment, "It's so ugly."
I don’t know why this chapter became so popular. No, it was so easy to write that even the puppet master couldn’t hold me back. Does that mean I’ve made a breakthrough?
I was very scared to finish it so early. The coffee effect has not yet worn off. How about I find a writing prompt and write a short story to practice my skills.
