Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1005
Holding Bohemia's arm and walking a few steps, Lin Sanjiu felt more and more wrong.She looked at the other party several times, a doubt floated up in her heart and gradually took shape.After thinking about it, she suddenly stopped, staring at Bohemia, her heart clear: "He—was he just absorbing your strength?"

Bohemia's face was pale, her eyes turned a few times in the direction of the puppeteer, and she didn't dare to say a word.On the contrary, the black figure in front snorted coldly without looking back: "So what?"

Sure enough, he did it!

No wonder Bohemia was obviously not injured, but now she seemed so weak that she couldn't even stand still.Before Lin Sanjiu came to the courtyard on this floor, the puppeteer had been seriously injured and wrestled with the female night walkers for a long time; now that he thinks about it, the reason why he can last so long is that half of his physical strength is probably exhausted. Is it from various human batteries?
"Does it matter to you?" she asked Bohemia in a low voice.

This sentence seemed to make Bohemia's grievances come out all at once.She pursed her mouth, looking as if she wanted to cry but dare not cry, and wanted to be angry but not angry. Even her fingernails were deeply dug into Lin Sanjiu's skin, and she shook her head quickly.

It seems that the puppeteer hasn't let her go yet.

Now that petite woman has been controlled, which is equivalent to a ready-made human battery that is useless; but the difficulty lies in how to make the puppeteer obediently follow his own suggestion to change targets.Lin Sanjiu was very sure that if she spoke directly, Bohemia, the battery, would probably be kept on until she passed out.

"Hey, that," she called to the puppeteer's back, "I want to discuss something with you."

Although he didn't look back, the feeling of irritability and anger on the puppeteer suddenly became stronger like fuel added to the fire - he was probably rarely greeted like a dog.

"I don't trust this woman, her name is Ai...Ariane, right?" Lin Sanjiu raised her voice and said, "Even if she really takes us out, she will definitely find a chance to resist and escape—"

"nonsense."

She choked, and said bravely, "If we don't turn her into a puppet, can we use other methods to control her? For example, to prevent her from being able to move..."

The puppeteer tilted his head slightly, and glitter flashed under the black hair: "Us?"

"Okay, okay," Lin Sanjiu said with a sigh, "...you. Do you have anything to do?"

When she was called, the petite woman had already shown a look of vigilance; but she was tightly surrounded by several puppets, and she couldn't even take a few steps if she didn't do it—until the puppeteer's arm seemed to come from Like a snake jumping out of the grass, she grabbed her suddenly, as if she had just realized what had happened.

Before Ariane's momentary resistance could take shape, she suddenly froze like a deflated ball.Her body tilted limply, her feet staggered, she couldn't help panting a few times, and she looked a lot weaker.

It went so smoothly!

As soon as Lin Sanjiu let out a sigh of relief, the puppeteer pierced her with icicle-like eyes.

"Exit, exit here,"

After walking for a while, Ariane stopped and pointed to a vent that was one and a half meters square. "This is the exit left in the blockade, disguised as a vent, for... to allow us to leave afterwards."

When she said this, her expression couldn't help but gloomy, as if remembering that her companions were all dead, she was the last one left.

The puppeteer seemed to be delighted by this gloom, and gave a half-sinister smile: "Open it."

Ariane was so small that even when she jumped, she couldn't reach the vents in the ceiling.Just when she was about to open her mouth, her expression froze suddenly - she saw a puppet approaching her with its head down, and half-kneeled towards her.This puppet, Lin Sanjiu, also looked familiar; during the battle just now, he seemed to have been following Ariane's side, as if he was her deputy.

"Step on it, you're welcome." The puppeteer raised his chin.

Ariane pursed her lips tightly, but in the end she still stepped on the puppet's knee and climbed onto his shoulder.The puppeteer didn't seem at all worried that she would take the opportunity to escape, and stood still; after her former deputy slowly stood up, she stretched her arms and pushed the vent.

A steady stream of air whizzed out of the vent, and a few seconds passed without anything happening.

Ariane froze for a moment, then quickly glanced at the people below her.This time she took out a plastic magic wand that looked like a schoolboy's toy, and poked the vent a few times—but the metal frame just clicked, and the echo echoed far from the vent pipe. go out.

...doesn't look like a camouflaged vent any way you look at it.

"I swear, it's really a vent," Ariane was afraid that the puppeteer would get angry, and hurriedly argued: "Maybe it's another one, let me look for it..."

She rode on the puppet's neck and knocked on all four vents in the corridor, but none of them suddenly opened and turned into an exit from this place.Under the gaze of the puppeteer, her complexion got worse and worse, and she suddenly held up the plastic stick in front of her eyes for a closer look.

"They gave it to me," Ariane's lips trembled slightly. "I didn't look carefully. They said it was a prop for sending messages remotely. It stands to reason that as long as you knock, they will know that we are ready to go out..."

"Here, let me have a look." Lin Sanjiu stretched out his hand towards her.

【Grocery at Hongbayashi Stationery】

Located across the road from Honglin Primary School, it sells cheap stationery, toys and snacks.This is one of their products, priced at [-] yuan, and its only function is to be held and waved around by elementary school students.

Throwing the plastic magic wand on the ground with a "snap", Ariane almost rolled and fell off the doll.She sat on the ground in a daze, looking at the blood and corpses in the distance, and didn't make a sound for a while.Until the puppeteer's cool, almost gloating voice startled her into shock——

"So you are all outcasts." Half of his face seemed to be frozen, but the other half of his face seemed to be ridiculed, but disgust and anger seemed to be mixed: "...What a bunch of boring bugs."

"Impossible," Ariane lowered her head and stared at the floor with a trembling voice, "I am the fastest-rising cadre among the night walkers in recent years. I... they all say that I have a bright future! How could it be my turn to do it? Abandoned?"

"They have been prepared for a long time, so many people don't want it?"

Lin Sanjiu frowned, and said to the puppeteer and Bohemia in a low voice: "It shouldn't be...these people have high combat power, ability and practicality, and they are all elites. Besides, if they win, don't they? Are you going to let them be trapped here?"

"If you win, the blockade will definitely be lifted!" Bohemia recovered a little strength, and began to answer quickly again.

"That plastic stick can't send any news at all," Lin Sanjiu reminded her, "How do people outside the blockade know whether the fight inside has been won?"

"Could it be clairvoyance—"

Bohemia didn't finish her sentence, but Ariane raised her head abruptly.

"No, clairvoyance is relatively rare," she shrank her pupils in horror, "but... I think it's very likely that they put surveillance props on someone, and it's not difficult to do..."

Lin Sanjiu glanced at her, then at the puppeteer, and suddenly felt that Ariane's attitude was not quite right.

Ariane was obviously in fear, but if she was afraid that she would be useless and would be killed by the puppeteer, then she obviously shouldn't have said what she just said—it would be tantamount to admitting that she had It's no use anymore.

"That is to say, someone outside has been monitoring the battle?" Bohemia murmured, "If you win, you will open the exit, and if you lose, you will treat them as sacrificial children..."

Lin Sanjiu glanced at the puppeteer.The latter's face was gloomy, but she didn't show much emotion; she coughed, approached Ariane, and knelt down.

"What are you afraid of?" She asked softly, "You're not only afraid of being made into a puppet, are you?"

Ariane swallowed hard and raised her head.

"I've heard people talk about this possibility, but I never thought it... might become a reality." She said dryly, "If you can't suppress the puppeteer, or the risk is too great, then the abandoned child ...just one more."

"Who?"

"It's not anyone—it's the Yuehai Ship!"

　Wow that fits the title perfectly, I think I need to akimbo for a while...and stand on Mount Everest...
