With a muffled sound, when it hit the wall, it was shaken violently by the impact; the blood and muscles flowed and writhed under the palm of the hand, and Lin Sanjiu tightened the hoop around his throat.
With his fingers, his amber eyes could almost ignite fire: "...Is it you? Did you notify the puppet master's lackey!"
Erhua was firmly pressed against the wall, with his legs flapping. He opened his mouth wide and breathed in "ho ho", and his face quickly turned red.
Even though she was in a relatively secluded corner, Lin Sanjiu was still worried about being seen; she looked around and finally relaxed her fingers.
A breath of air flowed into Erhua's lungs - he gasped loudly, and while coughing, he defended: "No, it's really not me... You don't know me, I have something on me
? Man, you just said, the puppet master..."
"It is true that a lot of things fell out of your body at that time, but they may not be all your belongings." Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes and ignored his words: "...the special items used to contact that group of people may be stolen.
You are hiding."
"I really don't, dear mother!" Erhua looked like she was about to cry, "We just took on a mission together, who is so stupid and wants to leave each other's contact information! Tell me, how can you believe it?
I?"
His urgent and panting voice did not attract anyone's attention, but quickly merged into the sea of mixed sounds of the crowd - all kinds of sounds were agitating in the sky above the entire hall; Lin Sanjiu frowned
After thinking for a while, I finally removed my fingers from his throat.
"You'd better tell the truth," she glanced to the side. "...Otherwise I will hand you over to it."
Erhua refused to even look at the Queen of Soul - he twisted his neck and nodded after hearing the words.
If this guy hadn't tipped off the news, then the group of people blocking the door might not be coming for him. It's just...
"How long is the current time limit left?" Lin Sanjiu asked in a low voice.
"There are less than twenty minutes left..." Erhua said, rubbing her neck.
Twenty minutes sounds like a long time, but if it is used to search such a huge crowd, it will be like putting a piece of thin ice into hot water, it will melt away in a blink of an eye; she must not show her true appearance, because right there
A minute ago, the mission notice "Search for the woman with a pair of bone wings behind her back" just rolled across the big screen not far away.
"I have to leave here right away." Lin Sanjiu clenched the black leather rope. "No matter what you use-"
Before she could finish the second half of her sentence, she was immediately cut off by herself.
Raising her eyes, Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at the hall that suddenly fell into a dead silence. The hundreds of people in front of her seemed to have heard some order that she had not heard. Suddenly, one by one, they moved quickly and silently.
They moved to both sides of the hall, revealing a gradually growing open space - so many people were moving together, but there was only the low sound of "rustling" clothes in the air.
The black leather rope on her hand was pulled by a force and suddenly stretched straight; when she looked back, she found that Erhua had already retreated several steps. Seeing that she didn't move, she was pouting to one side anxiously.
Could it be that the puppet master is here?
This was the first thought that came to Lin Sanjiu's mind.
Back in the extreme temperature hell, when the puppet master captured hundreds of people and gathered them together, Shen Lianqi, a resident of the Twelve Realms, also looked like he didn't dare to express his anger...
While thinking about it, she hurriedly took a few steps to catch up - the crowd that was bustling just now, like the Red Sea parted by Moses, gradually and quickly gathered on both sides of the hall. After taking a closer look, she saw that
Knowing why, Lin Sanjiu suddenly realized that the person coming was not a puppet master.
She still remembered Shen Lianqi's reaction at that time. This statement may be a bit strange - although he was afraid of the puppet master at that time, it was a very understandable fear; it was like a knife on a person.
When placed on a person's head, the reaction can be the same...
When passing a row of residents from the Twelve Realms, Lin Sanjiu paused and stood gently beside them. As if they didn't notice her arrival, these few people were complaining loudly and grandly just now that they couldn't go out.
At this time, each of the evolvers had their eyes fixed on their toes, and their bodies were almost as stiff as the puppet master's plastic mannequins. However, there was not much fear on their faces, and some were just
A pale numbness.
...Obviously, this is the numbness formed after long-term internalization of fear.
From what I saw in the Twelve Realms, the Puppet Master... doesn't seem to be that powerful.
Within half a minute, the dense crowd had skillfully retreated to a path - as if it had been done many times before.
"Oh oh oh--!"
A high-pitched and cheerful voice suddenly cut through the air and suddenly rang out from the center of the hall; just when Lin Sanjiu thought in confusion, "There is no one there," a figure had already appeared from the air like a bubble.
"merry——"
As soon as she saw it clearly, her eyes suddenly froze, and then she couldn't help but open her mouth slightly.
"chthmas——"
"This, this..." She couldn't help but look at Erhua, trying to find an answer: "This person..."
Like hundreds of other people, the latter lowered her head and fixed her eyes on her toes without looking at her; only a few tugs came from the black leather rope, as if to suggest that she also lower her eyes quickly.
Similar.
Even though she knew rationally that it would be safer to follow the crowd, Lin Sanjiu couldn't move her eyes away. It seemed that Christmas was almost here, but...
"Everyone——!"
Following the high-pitched ending of the last sentence, the visitor burst out into a loud burst of laughter; perhaps it was the resonance of his big belly, but his laughter was so deafening that it seemed like even the walls were buzzing.
"...After such a long time, I am very happy to see everyone is still so active. Oh, oh."
Santa Claus - yes, it is indeed Santa Claus - scratched his thick and fluffy beard. His healthy pink skin was flushed with blood; his barb-shaped eyes narrowed sinisterly.
, with a loud voice: "I haven't been out for a long time... You must not have guessed that it was me. I think everyone still remembers my rules, right?"
Wearing a green Christmas suit, this "Santa Claus" stood high on the top of the big screen, his eyes sweeping over the heads of people as if they were filled with lead. When he slowly opened his mouth, he showed a
When he smiled, a deep hole gradually darkened from his white, fluffy, curly and messy beard.
"Only good children can get a Christmas gift... oh oh oh." His voice was obviously very rich, but every word uttered by this Santa Claus was like a bone scraper.
"But I was in a hurry today. I didn't bring any gifts. What should I do?" Santa Claus seemed to be really anxious - as he spoke, one after another slender little ones were squeezed out from behind his fat body.
Shadow comes - "Why don't you take your own lives as a 'good boy gift'... Oh oh."
The slender shadows walked into the light. Only then did Lin Sanjiu see clearly that they were several women with extremely slender figures - their limbs seemed to be only as thick as a ring of fingers. Each one was tall and long, and the entire
The person looked like a green cricket wearing a Christmas skirt suit. The woman in the lead chuckled, and then jumped off the big screen. Twisting her waist that seemed to be broken at any time, she "jumped" lightly and approached the forest.
This group of people Sanjiu belongs to.
"Santa's little helpers will help me judge whether you are a good child or not..." Santa Claus said "oh" again and smiled: "Then, the standard of a good child is..."
Lin Sanjiu held her breath.
She has never seen evolved people in such a strange condition - they are not only dressed strangely, but also exude a subtle temperament from their bodies, which clearly conveys the word "danger" into everyone's pores
inside.
"There are two." Santa Claus raised two fat and short fingers. "The first one is that the growing ones don't have to die."
Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath suddenly, and a patch of hair stood up on her back, as if her sense of touch had just returned to her senses. After she breathed a faint sigh of relief, she suddenly realized that the growth type was
A very rare kind of person——
Finally, there was a slight commotion in the crowd - but as the "Green Cricket" jumped forward, almost all the noise in the direction she was facing was extinguished.
"...Oh, many children are disappointed, oh, don't worry," Santa Claus waved his hand, "The second criterion for a good child is... Those who don't smell like dolls can also get their own.
Life is a gift."
Just as Lin Sanjiu's muscles tensed up, and the second before her body was about to react, she was suddenly pulled by the black leather rope on her wrist——
"Don't move!" Erhua's voice was almost panicked and almost pleading: "You must not move!"
"I don't know what's going on between you and the puppet master, but believe me, if you jump out now, you will never end well. It will only hurt me." He said his real concerns in a hurry, "...
When did you last meet the puppet master? If time is not short, why not take a gamble!"
It was more than two years ago that I met the puppet master; but even the confrontation with Bai Xiaoqiang was five days ago.
In the past five days, Lin Sanjiu had worked part-time in the cold wind, sat by the egg-fried rice fountain to eat, and changed her clothes twice. Thinking of this, she felt her tight body gradually loosen up a little.
Yes, they can't smell anything from me - besides, she has a trump card that no one else can think of. Lin Sanjiu breathed out and turned to look at the Queen of Soul on the right.
"...I have seen the growth form of the doll, what should we do with her?"
The green cricket-like woman's face filled her retinas. (To be continued...)
