Chapter 124: The Puppet
High diving walks above the ruined city, with a few square meters of floor at your feet, the only safe island.
From the perspective of human beings, the human world is prosperous, noisy, full of skyscrapers, and the bright lights make the starry sky eclipsed.
And at this moment, in the field of vision of the high potential, I only saw decay and cold silence. The gorgeous garment has been faded, and there is only a skeleton of rotten flesh and blood. Hundreds of years later, it may not take that long at all, this is the real world.
Gao Qian doesn't like the world in his eyes, and he doesn't want the world to be like this in the future. He looked at the narrow floor beneath his feet, and a strong thought rose to him.
He didn't want to be above the world like this, he was the only one alone, this floor was too small to hold the people he loved, and he couldn't protect the people he wanted to protect and the people he cared about.
Far from enough.
At that moment, a seed took root in Gao Qian's heart, but Gao Qian didn't realize what that meant at that time.
The parking lot of the high-potential biotech company fell.
In the parking lot, which was so huge that it looked like it could stop an airplane, there was a huge pothole, like a black open pit. It was dozens of times larger than the crater seen in the human realm during the day.
Gao Qian raised his head and looked at the collapsed office building, and his heart sank. The base of the office building hangs above a huge pothole. If this big hole in the Infernal Realm is not repaired, the office buildings in the Human Realm will collapse sooner or later, and it is only a matter of time.
It's just such a big hole, how can he repair it?
Gao Qian took a step towards the big hole, and the brown-red wooden floor appeared at his feet, and he walked down to the bottom of the cave.
At this moment, he felt the moonlight above him dim for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw a black-robed hunting figure hovering silently in the sky.
In the background is a huge full moon in cream color, and the thin girdle of the dark shadow can be clearly seen in the high dive. Her wide sleeves fluttered at her side like two wings, and she wore a hood, her face hidden in the shadows, her head bowed and looking down at herself.
Gao Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he jumped out of the big pit, put his hand in his pocket, and grasped the slightly cool hilt.
The black shadow came to the front of the high dive in an instant, as light as a gust of wind. She looked up, grinned in her wood-grained face, and said hoarsely, "Hey, long time no see." ”
Hell of it, it's that damn puppet underneath the haunted house!
Gao Qian jerked out his dagger and stared at the other side nervously.
"It's you again. He said coldly, "What do you want to do? Is the guy who made you particularly ugly? Otherwise, how dare you hide behind a puppet and not even have the courage to see people with their true faces?"
"Hehehe. The puppet smiled hoarsely, "I'll meet you when you're ready." Honestly, I can't wait for that day to come, but until then, you need to be strong enough. ”
"What tricks do you want to play?" Gao Qian frowned.
Gao Qian still remembers that the puppet was flooded with seawater under the haunted house, drowning himself almost to death. Although he didn't know exactly what happened next, he knew he wanted to tear the puppet into pieces of wood.
"Tsk, your attitude really hurts my heart. The puppet slowly paced around the high dive with his hands in his hands, "I saved your life with a once-in-a-lifetime potion, and you treat your life-saving benefactor like this?"
"Help me?" Gao Qian was slightly stunned. To be honest, after waking up from Gao Qian that day, I saw Lin Qian, and I didn't see Gui Xiaoqian. He didn't have a chance, nor did he have time to think about how he managed to get out of the haunted house. He guessed that it was probably Sherlock's subordinates or Gui Xiaoqian who saved him, but he hadn't had a chance to ask for confirmation yet.
At this moment, hearing the puppet say that she saved herself, Gao Qian became unsure for a while.
"You say, using a once-in-a-lifetime potion?" Gao Qian asked with a frown, "What do you mean?"
"Of course it's the Sky Eye!" the puppet suddenly snorted fiercely, and then she lowered her tone again, as if the person who was angry just now was not her, "I took so long and took such a big risk, I even have to make a deal with lowly humans, what am I for?"
"It's all gone now!" the golem slammed her hands and her hood slid down, revealing the spherical wooden head, but the back of the head was hollow, and the high dive saw the blue stuff glistening in a pile of black filaments.
The puppet let out a long sigh and raised his hand to put his hood back on: "I'm sorry, I'm a little too excited. ”
"You mean, you gave me the Eye of Heaven to save me? Could it be that this medicine is still some kind of life-saving elixir? I thought this medicine made people open the Eye of Heaven, and that's what its name means, right?" Gao Qian slowly lowered his hand holding the knife, but did not put the Twilight Blade back.
"Of course, it's not just about opening the eye of the sky. The puppet was like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail and became angry again, "My medicine can make people become gods in one step!"
She pointed at the high dive with her wooden fingertips, "And you! you've wasted this opportunity." ”
"One step into a god? Gao Qian scoffed, it was the most ridiculous joke he had ever heard this year. He didn't feel that he had any signs of becoming a god, on the contrary, Lin Qian said that his Tianyan level had dropped to the first level, and he couldn't even see the spectrum of ordinary people now.
"I don't know how good your sorcery is, but your potion skills are terrible. Gao Qian said mockingly, "You said that your medicine can become a god in one step, so look at me, do I look like a god?"
"I said you wasted this opportunity, my potion was used to neutralize the three eyes you drank excessively," the puppet waved his hand impatiently, "Forget it, there is no point in saying this now, since you wasted this opportunity, we have to ...... according to the original plan"
"What was the original plan?" Gao Qian frowned, why did this puppet tone, as if her plan was still related to herself?
The puppet nodded at the high dive: "Yes, a perfect plan." High Diver, you can't imagine how long I've been working on this plan, so it's going to work out. ”
"What does this have to do with me?"
"It matters," the golem chuckled lowly, "High Diver, you don't know how important you are. ”
"What the hell do you want to do?" Gao Qian was a little impatient, and the puppet's pretentious attitude made him feel irritated. He began to visualize the distance between himself and the golem, secretly calculating what his chances of hitting a single blow were. He remembered the blue mass of the puppet's head he had just seen, and he thought, maybe that was the core of the puppet.
"Listen to the high diver, you have to become a real scavenger as soon as possible and join the elite group, which is the only thing you have to do at the moment. I'll take care of the rest. ”
Gao Qian frowned. Although joining the scavenger was something he had always wanted to do, it was a little awkward for him to let this puppet say it.
"Don't do that," the puppet seemed to know what Gao Qian was thinking, "I know you've received your recruitment pass. I brought in the scavenger who gave you the recruitment card, don't waste my painstaking efforts. ”
"Recruitment card? The recruitment card I received is the Divine Guard. ”
"The Divine Guards are scavengers, and in some religions these children of the blood are called Divine Guards, but the Divine Guards themselves seem to prefer the term scavengers. ”
Thinking of the arrogant and rude attitude of the young man who gave him his recruitment card, Gao Qian frowned slightly.
"By the way, isn't that little girlfriend of yours unconscious? she'll run out of energy if she keeps sleeping, and you don't want to save her?"
"Do you know how to wake up Lin Qian?" Gao Qian suddenly strode towards the puppet, "How can I save her, you tell me!"
"Join the elite group, you will learn what you should know, there are many things that I can't tell you personally because of the rules, you can only find out for yourself. ”
"What did you find? tell me how I can save Lin Qian!"
"Become a scavenger and join the elite ......"
Gao Qian grabbed the golem, her shoulders were hard and slender, and he waved his hand off the puppet's hood, revealing a blue mass behind her head.
"Tell me how I can save Lin Qian, or I'll tear you down!" Gao Qian grabbed the puppet's wooden neck and threatened viciously.
"Become a scavenger, join the elite group, and you'll know how to save her......"
"Be clear!"
"Become a scavenger...... Gao Qian suddenly put his hand into the back of the puppet's head and grabbed the blue thing. It was a fist-sized blue stone, and after leaving the golem, it lost its luster and slowly faded into a pitch-black mass.
Gao Qian let go of the puppet and took a few steps back.
The puppet stood in place, clattering and turning its head to the high dive, like an unoiled tin man, "You, yet, yes, this, like ......" Her voice stumbled and struggled, "From, come, no, have, change, ......"
Gao Qian pursed the corners of her mouth and looked down at the stone in her hand, the puppet that lost the stone seemed to have lost energy, and she became as stiff as a puppet.
"Remember, stay, I, of, words," the puppet continued with difficulty, "become, for ......"
The puppet didn't continue, and Gao Qian saw her mouth fall, followed by a wooden shell head, as if the thin thread pulling her suddenly snapped, and she shattered into pieces of wood. In a few moments, the wood chips and clothes burned into a pile of black ash, and then a gust of night wind blew, and even the last trace was gone.
