Chapter 109
As soon as the girl finished speaking, she hooked her finger towards Pei Zhao. Pei Zhao only felt a thin line rubbing against his neck and flying towards his back.
Standing behind him is Zhou Yuli!
Pei Zhao turned back suddenly and saw that the thin line passed Zhou Yuli and flew to tie up a human figure standing on the other side of the river behind him.
Skinny and dark skinned. It was the skinny monkey who said bad things about him two days ago.
Another person was squatting by the river, apparently drinking water.
The thin string was tied around the skinny monkey's neck. Pei Zhao clearly saw the girl tapping the string with her fingers a few times.
A small insect emitting a lavender glow climbed onto the thin wire.
The little insect was translucent all over, and the moonlight shining on it gave it a faint fluorescent color.
The little bug quickly crossed the river and Pei Zhao could no longer see it clearly.
There was silence every few seconds, and suddenly I heard the sound of someone falling into the water and struggling from the other side of the shore.
"What... are you doing!" The skinny monkey pressed the man beside him into the water.
"I, I don't know!" His hands moved fiercely, but his expression was full of panic, "My body won't obey me! What should I do!"
Pei Zhao turned his gaze back to the girl: "Are you a Gu Master?"
"You actually know this kind of profession?" The girl looked a little surprised.
Pei Zhao now understood that she was not from his world.
"But in my world, I'm called a wizard." The girl raised her chin and lowered her eyes slightly to look down at the two figures on the shore. She saw the skinny monkey, who could hardly control himself, fixing the other man's head firmly below the water.
The man was still struggling at first, but his movements gradually calmed down.
Gradually it stopped moving.
Pei Zhao looked on indifferently, but was secretly shocked.
"Do you want to continue?" The girl gently touched Pei Zhao's exposed forearm with her fingers, like a dragonfly touching the water. After just a slight touch, she shrank back as if she had been electrocuted. She pretended to be shy and looked at Pei Zhao with seductive eyes, "I remember they bullied you."
According to her experience, revenge is human nature, and in such a lawless place, where killing a person does not involve any legal risks, it is so attractive to be able to kill someone you don't like!
However, the clean-looking boy in front of him just frowned and said lightly: "I don't remember."
The girl sneered and was about to ask, "How could you not remember?"
The boy in front of me suddenly turned around. Look in the direction of the tall puppet. His expression was completely different from when he faced her just now.
"Zhou Yuli, it looks like nothing is wrong, let's go back."
The girl narrowed her eyes.
Pei Zhao turned to look at the girl only after Zhou Yuli nodded in agreement. The skinny monkey on the shore lost control and burst into tears as he looked at the corpse of his companion whom he had killed with his own hands. The shrill crying made him feel irritated.
"I believe you can keep me alive. I can cooperate." Pei Zhao said quickly and concisely, "But we just want to live a good life in peace. Please don't disturb us anymore."
For two consecutive days, the smell of killing spread rampantly in the rain forest, and the bloody smell of humans and unknown creatures filled the air.
No one knows what color the sun will be when it rises tomorrow.
Pei Zhao didn't care how dangerous the girl's behavior was. If the other party wants to cooperate, show enough sincerity.
"Also, for the cooperation you mentioned, what do I need to provide?" Pei Zhao asked the key question.
"Your puppet is required..."
"Impossible." Pei Zhao interrupted her and said impatiently, "It seems that our cooperation can't go on. Do we have to fight now?"
Pei Zhao was not afraid at all and gave Bai Zhou half a look.
Bai Zhou understood immediately.
Who cares whether it is a bug or not, just burn them all with fire!
The girl showed an interested expression: "Oh, it's a puppeteer with a fetish. How interesting."
Pei Zhao didn't care what name he was given. Perhaps because the skinny monkey's cries gradually weakened and his figure disappeared in the jungle, Pei Zhao felt inexplicably depressed.
An emotion called despair spread in my heart, and it could only be relieved by having a good sleep while holding Zhou Yuli.
But the girl in front of him didn't intend to let him go: "You are very interesting. The condition for cooperation is to help me build a house in the subsequent assessment."
Pei Zhao was stunned: "What?"
The girl said, "There are no more than 50% survivors now. When there are only 20% left, this assessment will be over. After a few days of rest, we will enter the next assessment period. The survivors will be teleported to a new world and continue the battle royale." The girl seemed to see Pei Zhao's confusion and raised her lips, "From your appearance, this won't be your first time taking the assessment?"
Pei Zhao glanced at Zhou Yuli and nodded hesitantly: "This is my first time taking the test."
"No wonder they brought so many puppets with such fanfare." The girl covered her face and smiled, her bell-like laughter seemed to penetrate the entire rainforest.
"So he's still a new kid. He's smart to be alive today." The girl said, "This is the first time I've seen someone survive without taking the initiative to attack."
Pei Zhao didn't say anything, so Zhou Yuli asked, "When will the next assessment period end?"
The girl thought for a moment and said, "The pace of killing will only get faster and faster. In less than two days, this world will end." Facing the puppet, she showed a patience that was completely different from other puppeteers. "Little Pinocchio, how about asking your master to invite me to sit with you?"
Zhou Yuli did not speak, but looked at Pei Zhao's expression.
Pei Zhao was also looking at him, and when their eyes met, Pei Zhao nodded slightly.
"Okay, please follow me." Zhou Yuli raised his hand, and a hole large enough for one person to pass through appeared between the tightly entangled vines.
The girl got in easily. Zhou Yuli winked at everyone, then looked at Pei Zhao alone and said, "Leave it to me."
Pei Zhao nodded: "Let's go find something to eat. Be careful. She is a puppeteer after all."
Zhou Yuli said that he knew and asked Pei Zhao not to worry.
After saying that, he crawled into the wooden vine.
The wooden vine was sealed again in front of his eyes. The surroundings returned to their usual eerily quiet night.
Suddenly encountering an uninvited guest, Pei Zhao felt a sense of uneasiness as if his peaceful world was about to be broken, and his heart felt heavy.
Suddenly, I felt my body lighten, and a dark figure struggled out from my clothes, revealing a bald little black head.
"Brother!" Miu Yi said with full energy.
Pei Zhao felt a little better and asked calmly, "Well, what's wrong?"
Miu Yi rubbed his hands together: "She is a master, we are on the master list!"
Pei Zhao laughed and gently touched the little black bald head.
"He's an expert, but I always feel he's dangerous."
It was hard to understand his worries. The well-protected little vampire just felt that it was just like playing a game and anyone who was on the top of the list could pass the level.
"It doesn't matter! We are very strong anyway!"
His eyes were wide open, and his red pupils reflected the silver moonlight.
It is the fearlessness that is unique to young people that Pei Zhao has envied for a long time.
The heaviness in my heart was quietly relieved.
"Yes, we are very strong." Pei Zhao held Miu Yi in his arms and walked in front of Bai Zhou and Lan Ji.
"It's more dangerous today, how about collective action?"
Bai Zhou and Lan Ji had no objection. The puppeteer who came to their door could control everything invisibly. It would be too dangerous if they ran into such a person.
"Let's find food first." Pei Zhao gave an order, and Lan Ji melted the ice on the lake surface, and a group of people stepped on it.
On the way, Lan Ji said, "With an extra girl, it might be inconvenient to live here. Bai and I should move to the upper floor first."
Pei Zhao nodded: "I have the same idea."
"What are your plans for the follow-up?"
"Let's finish this matter first." Pei Zhao sighed. He didn't know when this aimless life would end.
·
Because the team had one more person, the food they brought back today was a lot more than in the previous few days.
"You can stay on the two floors below. We'll stay on the two floors above. If someone comes, we'll come down when we hear them." Pei Zhao said to the girl. Suddenly remembering that he didn't know the girl's name, Pei Zhao asked, "What's your name?"
“Miaoyin,” the girl replied, a smile breaking out on her face.
Pei Zhao was inexplicably moved by her brightness for a moment.
Different from her previous charm, the girl with a sincere smile looks pure and innocent.
"Little puppeteer, don't fool me. I'm over 200 years old. I'm old enough to be your grandmother." Noticing Pei Zhao's momentary shock, Miao Yin raised her eyebrows, with dangerous emotions dancing in her eyes, and said, "Don't be fooled by me."
"Sorry." Pei Zhao took a deep breath and calmed down. "I'll go upstairs."
Miaoyin looked at his almost panicked back, then looked at Zhou Yuli standing in another part of the room with an innocent expression: "Aren't you going to chase him?"
Zhou Yuli turned around and followed, "Pei Zhao, wait for me."
Bai Zhou and Lan Ji were not in the room, and there were still a few lights on. Miaoyin's expression began to become normal and gentle: "It's Pei Zhao. What a cute name."
Pei Zhao hid back in the narrow hut. No one had lived there all day and the hay on the ground was a little damp.
There was only a faint firelight on the second floor. With the weak light, Pei Zhao found a clean place, sat down with his knees hugged, and looked at one of the places aimlessly with a heavy gaze.
The only girl named Miaoyin is in my mind.
There was a slight sound behind him, and then silence. Pei Zhao did not move until a long while had passed, then he spoke in a muffled voice: "Zhou Yuli, come and hug me."
Zhou Yuli hid in the darkness.
He felt that Pei Zhao was in a bad mood. The source of his bad mood did not come from himself, but from the girl named Miaoyin who was sitting downstairs.
Hearing Pei Zhao's voice, Zhou Yuli acted reflexively, stepped out of the darkness and walked in front of Pei Zhao.
"Hold me." Zhou Yuli's voice was a little deep, as if it contained some sadness and grievance, but he still stretched out his hand and caught Pei Zhao who rushed over, and as usual, he stroked his back.
Why is he so sad? Because of that girl? Is it because... I like it? But they are all puppeteers... No, it is normal for puppeteers to fall in love with each other... Is that why I am so sad...
Zhou Yuli was stunned when he felt a wet touch on his shoulder.
Pei Zhao, crying?
