Chapter 32
Pei Zhao roughly understood what Sudi meant, but this function had nothing to do with resurrecting Zhou Yuli. He even felt that it was not as useful as bringing the dead back to life. He nodded disappointedly, indicating that he understood.
Sudi raised his eyebrows, "I came here specially to tell you something."
Pei Zhao sighed: "I don't want to know anything now."
Pei Zhao was about to walk out, and Su Di did not chase him. He just raised his voice and said, "Aren't you curious about what happened to that man-made puppet?"
Pei Zhao stopped.
I have to say, he was curious.
Sudi didn't care whether he turned back or not, and continued, "Actually, that man-made puppet was indeed made by Zhao Ping, but I don't know which Zhao Ping it was." Sudi spread his hands, "After all, as a puppeteer, I can only feel the puppets that people have become. I can't feel a puppet like this without a soul."
"The only thing that is certain now is that Chen Lan is from 'my' world, and Zhao Ping is from 'your' world. The good news is that they are now back in their places."
Pei Zhao felt that Sudi hadn't finished speaking, so he turned around and frowned: "What do you want to say?"
Sudi looked serious: "You must have been to many worlds, but have you never wondered why so many puppeteers suddenly appeared?"
Curious? Probably out of curiosity, Pei Zhao thought.
But his heart was full and swelling, as if it was filled with Zhou Yuli, and he didn't seem that curious.
Pei Zhao nodded casually: "Well, go ahead."
Sudi took out a small notebook, which was filled with words in an unknown language. Pei Zhao took a look at it, didn't understand it, and leaned against the shelf waiting for Sudi to speak.
"I have been to 76 worlds in total. In the first few, it was like a tutorial for novices. They told me to become a puppet, completely a puppet. Later, puppetization gradually turned into taming. I didn't need to care whether the puppet wanted to be puppetized or not. As long as I took him out of the world, everything would be fine. Later, it was neither taming nor puppetization. I could travel freely through those worlds, and even stay freely."
Pei Zhao frowned more and more as he listened, "How is that possible? If you can freely travel through the world, how can the system guarantee that you can complete the task?"
"You thought our mission was to subdue the puppet, but that's not entirely true. Later, I took over the mission of quelling the war, and also the mission of helping the fifth prince seize the western region." Sudi said, looking at Bai Zhou, "But I didn't expect that the fifth prince would still come to this world."
Pei Zhao frowned: "What do you want to say?"
Sudi smiled, "At first I thought the system relaxed the time limit for me, but soon I found out it wasn't the case." Sudi's smile faded and his expression became serious, "I became a task executor who traveled through the world. Although I'm called a puppeteer, my existence has far exceeded my responsibility to the puppets. I gradually realized that I seemed to have achieved some goals for some people without knowing it."
After Pei Zhao understood what Sudi was saying, a huge conspiracy theory emerged in his mind, "Do you think... there is a higher civilization that is manipulating us to do these things?"
Sudi didn't say yes or no, but Pei Zhao saw a positive answer in his eyes.
This is ridiculous.
Didn’t he just… suddenly travel through time, bind himself to the system, and then… become a supernatural puppeteer?
What? It’s related to higher civilizations?
If it were in the past, Pei Zhao might feel excited, but now, he just feels tired.
"...Anyway, the only mission I received right now is to subdue the puppet. I will complete my mission well."
Pei Zhao took a deep breath, stood still, and naturally saw the entire store filled with puppets. He opened his mouth again.
"I'm a very boring person." Pei Zhao said, "I hate guessing and calculating. I don't know why I became a puppeteer, but so far, I think being a puppeteer is the luckiest thing that has happened to me so far."
Because he became a puppeteer, he saved Zhou Yuli.
By becoming a puppeteer, he became Zhou Yuli's master.
Because he became a puppeteer, he owned Zhou Yuli.
…even though it’s lost now.
Speaking of this, Pei Zhao was in a bad mood.
After expressing his opinion, Pei Zhao no longer had any desire to speak out. Turn around and leave.
This time, Sudi didn't say anything. Watching Pei Zhao's figure completely disappear from his sight, Sudi withdrew his gaze.
"It seems you are the lucky one." Sudi chuckled, with a hint of bitterness in his smile.

Pei Zhao took Zhou Yuli back to the dormitory.
No one knew where Zhou Ran had gone, and there was no one in the dormitory.
His and Zhou Yuli's cell phones were still placed side by side on the table, but their batteries were exhausted because they had been on standby for too long.
Pei Zhao sighed, pulled the charger from the table and charged his phone.
By the way, I sat on the chair.
The dormitory was very quiet. Since the beginning of the school year, he and Zhou Yuli had been together in everything, and he had not felt so quiet for a long time.
He put Zhou Yuli's puppet on the table, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly opened the drawer to search.
A few seconds later, Pei Zhao tore off the plastic wrap of the Band-Aid and put it on Zhou Yuli's face.
"This way...it won't hurt so much, right?"
As expected, there was no answer.
Pei Zhao sighed again. Raise your right hand and try to gather the energy.
But because he returned to his native world, he no longer possessed supernatural abilities.
"...In the future, don't resort to violence at every turn." Pei Zhao tapped his cell phone, but there was still no sign of it being turned on. He relaxed his whole body and lay on the table. He wanted to wait a little longer, but he fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.
The window of the dormitory was open, and a cool breeze blew into the dormitory. Pei Zhao, who was sleeping soundly, felt a little cold. He shivered in his sleep and uttered in his sleep: "Zhou Yuli..."
…
In his sleep, it seemed as if someone touched his forehead.
When I woke up again, I was woken up by a boy's voice.
"God Pei? Why are you sleeping here? It will be dark soon. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Zhou Ran's voice woke Pei Zhao from his sleep. Pei Zhao opened his sleepy eyes and found that his mobile phone was already fully charged and placed on the table.
Zhou Ran was beside him, one hand still on his forehead. Somehow, Pei Zhao was a little disappointed.
Pei Zhao hadn't come to his senses yet and nodded in a daze.
Seeing that he finally woke up, Zhou Ran put the thin blanket in his hand on the table, "Luckily you woke up. I felt that you had a fever. The temperature difference between us is so big, so it's not enough to cover yourself with just a blanket. You might as well go to bed and sleep."
Pei Zhao was extremely sleepy and answered drowsily with a "hmm". He then climbed onto the bed with two cell phones in his hands and suddenly realized something.
...He remembered that he plugged in both phones to charge before going to bed.
"Zhou Ran." Pei Zhao's voice was clear, "Did you unplug the charger for me?"
"What charger?" Zhou Ran looked back and said, "No, it was like this when I came back. What's wrong? Did you change the charger?"
"No." Pei Zhao's voice trembled a little, and his eyes fell on the thin quilt again.
"You just said that when you came in, I was only covered with a blanket, right?"
Zhou Ran nodded, "Yeah, what's wrong, brother, are you... confused by the fever?"
Pei Zhao only felt his heart pounding. He tried his best to calm down, "It's okay. I'll go upstairs and sleep."
Zhou Ran was confused: "Okay, Master Pei, I'll turn off the light in a moment."
"Need not."
"It's alright. I'm going to take a shower and go to sleep soon... It's not Pei Shen, the bed you slept on is Zhou Yuli's..."
Zhou Ran watched Pei Zhao carry the puppet that looked like Zhou Yuli to the bed, draw the bed curtains, and then there was no more movement.
Zhou Ran hesitated: "Alright... okay, Zhou Yuli isn't around lately anyway. Well, if you have anything, call me, brother."
The bed curtain made a soft "hmm" sound.
Zhou Ran thought about it, but still felt worried, so he took out a few packets of cold medicine and put them on Pei Zhao's desk. He then went downstairs to get some hot water and put it next to Pei Zhao's desk. Only then did he feel at ease to pack up his things and go take a shower.
There are several public bathing areas in their school, two of which are public bathrooms that are relatively close to the dormitory building, and one is a single room, but it is relatively far from the dormitory building. Including the time for bathing, it takes as much as two hours to go back and forth.
Pei Zhao sat cross-legged facing the puppet.
That means he has two hours.
Pei Zhao turned around and confirmed that the curtains were tucked in. The curtains in the dormitory were drawn and it was pitch black outside.
Pei Zhao raised his hand and undressed.
His skin was exposed to the air, but he still felt cold, and Pei Zhao couldn't help but shiver.
Until the entire top is taken off and neatly folded aside.
Pei Zhao put his hand on his belt and paused for a long time.
There was only my heartbeat in my ears, like the beating of a drum.
What is he doing?
His mind was clear, but he was extremely nervous.
Pei Zhao actually... knew what Zhou Yuli felt towards him. Not only Zhou Yuli has feelings for him, Pei Zhao also has other thoughts about Zhou Yuli.
They are all at the age of full vigor and vitality, so it is too idealistic to talk about pure love. Pei Zhao thought he had passed the physiology course and knew what two people in love would do.
He did not unplug his cell phone and put on a blanket.
Zhou Yuli, who could obviously turn into a human, had to pretend to be dead in front of him.
These days, Pei Zhao asked himself countless times whether he was sincere to Zhou Yuli.
If it is fake, then why did Zhou Yuli become a human?
If it is true, then why isn't it working now?
...What Sudi said lingered in his mind. It seemed that there was a third possibility between these two answers - this world was a huge scam, and Zhou Yuli was the number one liar sent by the world to deceive him.
Pei Zhao didn't want to admit this possibility.
And now, he knew, and was kind of happy.
This world is not a scam, Zhou Yuli is a liar.
But he did not cheat him of his love, but lied to him that he no longer loved him.
Pei Zhao untied his belt with his hands, and the loose waistband of his trousers fell on his hips, revealing the young man's narrow waist.
Pei Zhao has a good figure, with a thin waist and narrow hips. At this time, the loose waistband of his pants is placed on his waist, revealing a little skin underneath.
He had a fever, his body couldn't stop heating up, his skin was slightly red, and his heart was beating violently.
Pinch your trouser pockets with your fingers, apply slight force, and pull downwards.
More pink revealed.
Pei Zhao couldn't bear it anymore. It was dark behind the curtain. He only turned on the always-on screen of his phone. A faint light shone on his body, outlining his figure at the moment. Pei Zhao couldn't help blushing and closed his eyes.
...until he finally finished taking it off. He quickly pulled Zhou Yuli's quilt over and covered himself with it.
"Zhou Yuli," Pei Zhao's voice was a little hoarse, with a slightly rising ending tone, and he felt indescribably aggrieved, "Look at me."
The puppet was silent.
Pei Zhao sniffed and lay down on his side, hugging the quilt.
