346 Arkol's plan
When the words "Grower Alliance" fell into Lin Sanjiu's ears, the first thing to make a move was her bone wings. The bone wings, composed of countless white spikes, were like layers of white bone flowers, and they were fully unfolded in the blink of an eye; The beast-like force pierced the air, stirring up bits of smoke and dust.
At the same time, she had already taken a step back, leaned down, and was ready to go.
Bounded by the gate of "Time and Space Journey", there is a bright afternoon sun outside the door, and even the dust in the air is visible in the warm light; And inside the door where Lin Sanjiu was, it was a cool and dim -
From this gloom, her amber eyes lit up a little.
β¦β¦ Among the five people standing outside the door at this time, there was a brown-haired woman who looked very familiar, and it was the growth type who was caught by Santa Claus in the Muyu Encyclopedia Forum with her.
When you see her, you naturally know why this person named Akol can recognize herself at a glance.
"Why are you coming to arrest me now?" Lin Sanjiu sneered. She had fought several times in a row before, and at this time, her face was gray and bloody, and under this smile, her teeth looked strangely white. ββ¦β¦ I'm getting tired of waiting, so do you want to be a puppeteer? β
Arcol was a tall, thin young man with well-defined cheekbones, his entire body wrapped in a long brown cape, and only the tips of his boots could be seen below. Facing Lin Sanjiu, who seemed to be about to choose someone to devour, he took a step back slightly. Only then did he raise a smile that was a little embarrassed, and said softly: "Miss Lin, listen to me, you seem to have misunderstood us." β
The pale pupils that stared at him did not change in the slightest; Lin Sanjiu raised the corners of his mouth, pointed at the brown-haired woman, and said in a calm tone: "You heard from that woman where I am, so you specially changed the way and rushed to me...... If it weren't for the arrest of me, I'd like to hear about any misunderstanding. β
A pale hand stretched out from his cloak and pulled his short curly and shiny hair. Akol then said slowly: "...... This thing. That's a long story. β
He gestured to the brown-haired woman behind him and smiled, "From Miss Reva, I've heard that you are all under the control of Santa Claus. That's why I had to go into the dungeon. And then for some reason. Santa Claus thinks we, the Growups, are in cahoots with the puppeteers...... So as soon as I hear about your existence. I'm going to send you to the puppeteer, right? β
Lin Sanjiu squinted his eyes slightly, but did not say a word.
sighed. Akol withdrew his hand into his cloak, like a swimming fish thrown into the water, the cloak shook for a moment, and in an instant it returned to calm: "...... In fact, we're in a very similar situation to you; You were forced in by Santa Claus, and most of the members of the Grown-up League were also forced in by the puppeteers. β
"Puppeteer? How could he force so many of you to enter the dungeon at the same time? β
Hearing this, Arkol, who was young and looked no more than thirty years old, had a sad look on his face at this moment, but it made him look like a middle-aged man who had been exhausted by life.
"Actually, our Grower Alliance was originally weak in the Twelve Realms." He smiled wryly and continued, "We didn't know anything about this copy...... It's a small organization, after all. But the puppeteer got the news about this dungeon somewhere, and after learning that there was an ultimate prize, he planned to come in and find out...... I'm sure you've discovered by now that only the growing type can survive in the Starry Sky Amusement Park, right? β
Lin Sanjiu nodded.
"Yes, a copy built specifically for growth is the first of its kind...... Isn't it tempting to see the ultimate prize given by such a dungeon? But although the puppeteer himself is a growth type, after all, the Starry Sky Amusement Park is too big, and other forces are very interested in this place, and the chance of reaching the end of the first one is too small for him alone. That's why he got the idea out of an all-growth organization β us. β
When Akol said this, in addition to the brown-haired woman named Reva, the other three men and women who probably belonged to the Grown-up Alliance couldn't help but show a gloomy look.
"There were already few of us in the Red Nautilus, and under the puppeteer's series of actions, many of us took the opportunity to change worlds and ran away from the Twelve Realms...... In addition, there are those who have switched to the Red Nautilus without knowing it, and the remaining people in the Grower Alliance are only more than ten or twenty at most. β
ββ¦β¦ So how did he force you in? β
Speaking of which, in fact, Lin Sanjiu already has a bit of faith; She straightened up and slowly pulled her bone wings in half.
With a wry smile again, Akol raised his chin, and a girl with short black hair took a step forward, unbuttoned a few buttons on the hem of her shirt, and then lifted it up, revealing a piece-
Originally, it was supposed to show a piece of moist skin.
However, at this time, instead of the skin, covering her lower abdomen was a lifeless, cool and hard thing with a plastic lusterβthis texture suddenly reminded Lin Sanjiu of the plastic model she had seen in the extreme temperature hell.
"Obviously," the short-haired eyes of the black man followed Lin Sanjiu's gaze and fell on his belly, and he sneered self-deprecatingly and said, "The puppeteer can not only turn the puppet into a human, but also vice versa." β
Probably unwilling to be stared at by strangers for too long, the girl quickly put down her clothes, shook her hair, and returned to her original appearance.
"This is the beginning," Arkol's voice sounded bitter, "if we don't get to the finish line as soon as possible and get that ultimate package for him, this plasticization will slowly spread throughout the body...... In the end, it becomes a lifeless toy. β
"This ...... How is this done? Lin Sanjiu's face turned a little pale in shock, and he immediately asked, "Doesn't your Grower Alliance have a pair of brothers and sisters surnamed Lou?" Where are they? Has it become like this? β
"Surname Lou ......?" Arcol frowned and thought for a moment. Then he suddenly raised his face: "You mean the two children Lou Ye and Lou Qin, right?" β
Lin Sanjiu's heart was raised to his throat at this moment.
- However, the other party's next words are still almost unhelpful.
"I didn't understand why the puppeteer cared so much about their two children...... Now it seems that it is probably because of your relationship. As soon as the two of them teleported back, they shouted that they would wait for someone at the junction in Piazza Sigra...... It wasn't a big deal, and the puppeteer had already started harassing us during that time, so I let them go. But unexpectedly, they disappeared - I heard from my men that the two children were captured by the puppeteer himself. β
Exhaled heavily. Lin Sanjiu's expression sank.
No matter how you ask. The news of the Knowles siblings is always broken here - it seems that there is no other way at the moment, only to face the puppeteer to find the two children.
But what really scared her was that it had been a while since the Knowles siblings disappeared...... In case of. What if a puppeteer turns them all into dolls......
When Lin Sanjiu sank into his thoughts. Arkol looked at her carefully.
Waited a while. He deliberately cleared his throat heavily, and seeing that Lin Sanjiu really raised his eyes, Akol immediately smiled at her: "Miss Lin." Those two children were not a threat to the puppeteer, and their lives were probably not in danger for a while. But the situation you are in right now is a little complicated......"
"Oh?" Lin Sanjiu raised his eyebrows, "What do you say?" β
"After all, tomorrow will be the 26th." Arkor's tone, apparently as soft as possible, said, "Miss Reva has told me everything about Santa Claus...... Have you forgotten? β
Lin Sanjiu suddenly froze - she really almost forgot!
Before entering the park, Santa Claus made it clear that he wanted several of them to return to the place where they entered the park on the 26th to meet him and receive the "gift" - that is, their own lives; However, after meeting Kurosawa, her mind was all about learning to fight for a while, and she didn't notice that it was almost time.
"Thanks for the reminder, I-"
Before Lin Sanjiu could finish speaking, Arkor had already lowered his eyes and shook his head, interrupting her.
"Miss Lin doesn't need to worry, the reason why I brought up this matter is for another reason." Judging from Arkor's style of action, he seems to be quite high-level in the Grown-up League; As he spoke, several grown-ups behind him, except for Reva, stood without saying a word. ββ¦β¦ The first time you and Miss Reva came to the Twelve Realms, many things were still unclear. Santa Claus hadn't been seen in a long time, but I knew a little bit about his abilities before - let's just say that you had better not go out of the park to see him tomorrow anyway." β
"The so-called going to the 26th to receive the order is just a trick; Santa's 'Make a Wish' ability can only last for a few days each time - and I guess the reason why he told you to go out on the 26th is probably because the effect of his ability will end tomorrow; As soon as you go out, he will be exercising his power on you again in the name of receiving gifts. So, as long as you survive tomorrow, Miss Lin, you will be free. β
Although his skin was somewhat pale, his lips were bright red; He finished his sentence in one breath, and even the few freckles on his cheekbones turned slightly red.
Any evolutionary ability has its limits, even if it's as strong as Santa Claus...... It can be said that there is probably a certain amount of truth in Akol's words. Merely......
After a while, Lin Sanjiu spoke coldly.
"You're asking me to put my life on the line to trust someone I'm meeting for the first time."
"I know ...... too," the long-faced young man wrapped in his robe sighed, "If Miss Lin doesn't believe me, it's not a terrible thing to be controlled by the ability to make a wish again; It's a big deal to stay up for a while. It's just that the reason why I say that your situation is complicated is because every time Santa Claus implements the Wishing Ability, Santa Claus can make a new request...... If you are controlled again, this time you don't know what he will ask you to do. β
Lin Sanjiu bit his lower lip tightly, did not speak, and was confused for a while, not knowing what to believe; After thinking for a moment, she took a deep breath, threw her question aside, and stared at Arkol.
ββ¦β¦ What is the purpose of telling me this? β
She's not stupid.
If Akol's words were true, then he could have ignored her after learning about Lin Sanjiu - after all, the puppeteer was asking them to get the end gift package early, and they didn't know that Lin Sanjiu was also in the dungeon at this time, so there was no need for them to do these extra things. Since he had come all the way and provided her with such valuable news, it was more than just a matter of kindness.
Regarding Lin Sanjiu's question, Akol didn't show the slightest discoloration, obviously expecting her to ask this question.
"It's a bit ugly to say that the purpose is...... Actually, I have a plan to kill two birds with one stone, which is good for both of us, and I must need Miss Lin's cooperation. β
"You say."
From the way Santa Claus sounds, it seems that he is trying to find trouble with the puppeteer...... So, why don't we push the boat down the river and help him meet the puppeteer smoothly? Before coming to see Lin Sanjiu, Akol had obviously done his homework - he knew all the information that Lin Sanjiu was secretly surprised: "If Santa Claus can't see you tomorrow, he will definitely be in a hurry; Because once the 26th is over, he will no longer be able to manipulate you. Miss Lin, did he give you a little thing? β
Touching the Santa hat magnet in his pocket, Lin Sanjiu nodded hesitantly.
It seems that that Leiwa really trusts the Grown-up Alliance, and she actually told everything outside......
Arkol asked for the little magnet and examined it carefully.
"I can't see the details yet, but I guess it's something that will help Santa find you." The slender young man returned the small magnet to Lin Sanjiu, and while thinking, he said slowly: "It seems that as long as there is this thing, he has the confidence to come in." In that case, we might as well set up a ...... Find a place, put this magnet down, and we'll report a fake news and get the puppeteer to that place...... When Santa Claus comes in looking for you because he's in a hurry, they'll be able to meet each other naturally. β
The young man smiled again at Lin Sanjiu, and a hand reached out from his robe, making a gesture of tying a pocket.
"No matter who wins or loses between them, we will clean up the mess in the end. Miss Lin, what do you think of this plan? (To be continued.) )
