While choosing a room, the three of them gave a brief introduction to their respective skills, and Cheng Shuang and the other seven did the same. Only after getting to know each other could they work together more and more smoothly.
Cheng Shuang thus understood the biggest difference between puppetry and doll skills.
The Puppet Technique targets only humanoid life forms. Once locked on, the target loses self-awareness and becomes entirely dependent on the Palace Master's control.
This skill requires extremely high mental strength. Not only must one have sufficient mental strength, but one must also be able to separate the threads to multitask and control different puppets at the same time.
Gong Zhu's mental strength is a weakness, and with Feng Jiakang's combined strength, controlling three puppets is already an extreme achievement.
Therefore, her puppetry skills are promising, but she cannot yet make the most of them.
There's still no information about selling premium cards in the store, but a forum post mentioned location cards. Someone offered 1000 points to buy them, but no one responded.
Du Lanshan also sent a purchase request to his brother, offering a 'Penetrating Eye of the Abyss City' in exchange. Du Lushui could increase the stakes later when she had more capital.
As for whether anyone is willing to trade, that's up to fate.
With only an hour left before the tickets were released, everyone was quiet, some sitting, some lying down, completely relaxing, until a ding sounded and Cheng Shuang, Sun Han, and Si Hai rushed over.
“It’s a group ticket.” Sun Hansong said, then shook his head at the crowd preparing in front of the shelves. “No need to restock. The ticket information is a hidden secret.”
The instructions were too vague, so the group immediately gathered at the cashier. Cheng Shuang handed out the tickets to them, and at the same time, Si Hai distributed the flower petals he had stored.
"The consciousness communication only lasts for fifteen minutes. You have ten minutes to observe your environment. If there are no companions around, or if the environment is complicated, you can contact me by swallowing the flower petal."
As a transit point, Sihai has become quite confident and experienced in how to gather scattered companions in one place.
April sighed as she pinched a petal. She was beautiful, but being all alone, she rarely found like-minded temporary companions. Sleepless nights were common for her. Fortunately, Cheng Shuang took her in; otherwise, she didn't know if she could have endured it.
Since parting ways with Sihai, she has ventured into three death zones, taking a full month, yet her total sleep time has never exceeded 60 hours. Now, being able to fight alongside her companions again is the best thing ever.
The convenience store suddenly lit up, and ten people stood in front of the Gate of Reincarnation. After entering the gate, Cheng Shuang felt a sudden chill down her spine, and she abruptly opened her eyes.
The world before my eyes glowed with a faint light, like a night lamp; tears welled up in my eyes, stinging and hurting them.
The little girl didn't close her eyes immediately because she realized she could still breathe in the liquid. So she temporarily suppressed her worries and carefully looked around at her surroundings.
The pale green, unidentified liquid obscured her vision and blocked everything in front of her. It was heavier than water and somewhat viscous. She could only slowly try to paddle her body upwards.
However, she reached the end after only a couple of steps. Cheng Shuang was slightly taken aback, then immediately swam downwards and soon touched the bottom again.
Her height is limited; based on her height, she is no more than 2 meters tall.
Was she locked up?
Realizing this, the little girl did not panic. She quietly swam sideways, trying to describe how big the 'cage' that confined her was.
It was smaller than she had imagined. After swimming for less than a couple of strokes, she realized that compared to the cage, it was more like a small 2-meter by 2-meter swimming pool.
Cheng Shuang leaned against one of the walls of the 'pool' and tried hard to open her eyes to look out, but unfortunately, the wall was made of a very special material, and she couldn't see anything in the slightly shimmering liquid.
Worse was yet to come. The little girl felt her breathing becoming heavier and heavier, and drowsiness overcame her. She seriously suspected that there was a sedative-like ingredient in the liquid. Unfortunately, the thought was fleeting, and she floated in the liquid and fell asleep without any resistance.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but a feeling of a heavy stone pressing on her chest, a life-or-death crisis, forcibly woke Cheng Shuang from her sleep. She opened her eyes again with a start, and the feeling of suffocation made her gasp for breath, resulting in her swallowing two mouthfuls of liquid.
Thinking of the sedative ingredients in the liquid, the little girl quickly shut her mouth, then helplessly puffed out her cheeks.
Keeping your mouth shut won't help unless you seal your nose, but sealing your nose is tantamount to suicide.
Her compartment had no oxygen supply equipment, and besides, she couldn't be sure what the environment outside the water tank was like. If a homeless person was secretly watching and increased the dosage of sedatives in the liquid, it would be a huge loss.
Upon waking, a sense of crisis still clamored within Cheng Shuang. The young girl tried to raise her arm to check the time, only to find that her watch was gone, and her clothes were also missing.
The current environment is too closed off, so closed off that it makes one feel uneasy, as if she is the only person in the world, or as if there are prying eyes all around, a chilling feeling mixed with a deep sense of unease.
Is that why her instincts sounded an alarm, making her desperately want to escape her cage?
No, that's not right!
Cheng Shuang gradually calmed down. She swam to the top again, ignoring the pressure in the water, and groped her way in little by little. Finally, she found a recessed point at the seam of the wall, but this point was tightly attached to the entire device and she could not move it with her strength.
Perhaps the switch isn't inside.
There was no time to think deeply; my physical strength plummeted, and drowsiness came unexpectedly. Yet, my breathing became so tight and suffocating, as if the oxygen in the water was running low.
Could it be that her actions attracted the attention of 'people' outside, and they shut down the oxygen supply equipment to warn her?
Cheng Shuang guessed, but her hands didn't stop. She quickly took out the cool mint candy, put it in her mouth, and the cool taste immediately stimulated her senses, and her mental and physical strength were fully restored.
