Translator: BinBin92 Editor: EllisBLV13

The sun began its initial descent Like half a tangerine duck egg yolk, it was dissolving slowly into the navy blue sky The sepia tone that had lost its initial telea at a speed visible to huated shadows of the street la as the tih Lin Sanjiu had repeated her question, all she got in return was silence

With her heart suspended in her chest, she recoiled two steps back The tug of war between Puppeteer and his squadron of puppets and the suctioning force of that painting had been in a stalee victorious from the battle in the foreseeable future Lin Sanjiu knew that a long delay meant many hitches; hence, to hurry the battle, she turned to the artist and yelled, "Increase the output!"

The way to increase the output was by perfecting the drawing Once thehad been perfected, the suction of the Special Ite Lin Sanjiu's order, the "artist" that looked like a real-life person dipped his brush onto the palette and began to co

With every stroke, Lin Sanjiu could felt the force increasing The force ripped all the skin and li to each other Lin Sanjiu could even hear the ripping and cracking sounds as theirtorn froanisms They probably did not feel pain as they didn't even whine

"Can you now tellitem you have there, huh?" Puppeteer asked in and cut short Lin Sanjiu's next words The red of his anger had faded, leaving only ashen white on his face As Puppeteer locked his gaze on Lin Sanjiu, he sh, I guess?"

As Lin Sanjiu's heart tightened, she quickly leaped backward She didn't knohat had happened in that second nor did she see anything All she heard was a loud explosion, and in the round and raised her head to check, Puppeteer was already standing on the ground At the same time, an unknown shock wave hit the artist and his easel She saw hi many walls in his path, and s buried by the rubble

" I knew that he couldn't be stopped that easily, " Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly, " Luckily, I still have uy tohis head Upon receiving their master's orders, those puppets instantly sprinted tohere the artist had flown, "I like that special ability He ood use tofor a Posthuht flickered in Lin Sanjiu's mind and made her stop for a h ti to her advantage because Puppeteer had already turned his attention on her

If she hadn't activated her hypersensory, and if she were still the half-baked Lin Sanjiu, she ht still be shrouded in the dark even after Puppeteer's attack had landed on her In a flash, her body caught a gli that stood out from the environment It couldn't be seen; it couldn't be touched It shot out froer and had closed in on her in a blink of an eye

Even with her hypersensory activated, Lin Sanjiu couldn't do anything as she had not had enough ti hit, she had to dive down and thrust herself to the ground Just as the thing ain at Lin Sanjiu like a ho missile Lin Sanjiu bit her lip and reached for her card A silhouette of a hu before falling to the ground

Lin Sanjiu's reaction was ultrafast Juround, she scra on the ground

The thing that she had summoned in the heat of the e-ed-eyed corpse did not thwart Puppeteer He swept his gaze over it and turned to Lin Sanjiu, curling his lips into a war, but I'm not yet done with my [Pestilence], and I have plenty of shots left Do you have enough corpses to block theround in front of her, Ren Nan's corpse ithering It was as if he was a person who had been tormented by his sickness his whole life before he could finally rest in peace Ren Nan's hairs thinned, his cheeks sunk deeply into his face, and his belly swelled

"Is that a Special Item?"

"Have you heard of route "300—"

Just as the sentence escaped Lin Sanjiu's mouth, Puppeteer shot another [Pestilence] at her It had no form and no smell It wasn't a Special Item, but an Evolved Ability

[Pestilence] worked in the same fashion that a drop of blood from an AIDS patient or the spittle of a tuberculosis victiium" Once it entered the huh latency all the way to the final stage within a few seconds The symptoms, however, varied from disease to disease as there were countless diseases in the world The disease appeared randoet, and the effect only lasted for a minute After a minute, the chances of survival and recovery depended on the target's irazed even the slightest part of her skin, she would probably end up like Ren Nan

Lin Sanjiu kicked the ground and thrust herself into the air as [Pestilence] slipped through the gap between her feet and the ground However, her tee status was short-lived [Pestilence] ed at her back

"Damn it!"

Lin Sanjiu did not surabbed the pumpkin shell that acted as the lamp post and hurled it toward [Pestilence] while she was airborne

In the next second, she felt itchiness spreading frootten into her skin

"Oh, please pardonyou," Puppeteer said as he looked Lin Sanjiu fell fro around his lips as he talked, "[Pestilence] can penetrate through inanimate objects"

Dizziness struck her before Lin Sanjiu hit the ground As a triuh Puppeteer's eyes, because he thought he had won the fight, Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes and made a loud, hearty sneeze "Achoo!"

She wiped her nose and raised her head She saw Puppeteer was looking at her with his popping eyes

"The flu? You just caught the flu?" His words passed his lips in a disbelieving breath, "I have attacked hundreds of people withfrouess what Puppeteer was going to say next Apparently, she was his first target to only catch the flu after getting hit by his [Pestilence] Anyway, she didn't have much time to thank God for her minor fortune, but at least she still had the tiratitude to Xueqin in her heart, and she did After that, she summoned her [Tornado Whip] and lashed it wildly in her hand to create a tornado before sending it at Puppeteer

"I guess you leave rew gloo the destructive tornado, Puppeteer refused to move an inch away and faced it head-on Then, the next movement he took scared Lin Sanjiu to the core of her heart

Although it looked different, the sight of Puppeteer when he gently extended his arms still reminded Lin Sanjiu of the lethal attack Hei Zeji used when he was "Queen Margaret"

However, no whirlpool for and barbarous air current brought forth by the tornado had mysteriously dissipated within the duration of a few breaths Lin Sanjiu was stunned, oblivious of what Puppeteer had done When she blinked again, the face of Puppeteer dusted in gold glitter poas already a few centimeters away from her

Then, suddenly, fro as a tsunaed at her

Even with the enchantment of the "Lucky Star," Lin Sanjiu still had to squeeze every ounce of power from her body to parry Puppeteer's attack and earn a brief second to take a breath in the time between his attacks She just learned the coo and had not quite lad that she had learned it froainst Puppeteer's storm-like, seamless attack

Truth to be told, it was all thanks to her hypersensory that she uish Pupeteer's attacks If she ever used her naked eyes to observe Puppeteer, she would have only seen that Puppeteer was just standing pretty leisurely waving his hands now and then

Right now, dragging Puppeteer was no longer her priority

Lin Sanjiu thought that if she continued to fight this battle with the idea of dragging him for a while, she would probably die faster than anyone before accoiven mission, which was to keep Puppeteer busy for two hours If she wanted to stay alive, she had to go the whole hog, hold nothing back, and fight with all her heart and soul Evolved Ability or Special Ite options as she had to focus entirely on Puppeteer Even then, she still had to rely on "Lucky Star" to save her fro injured nu herself to coe with Puppeteer, Mrs Manas was fighting as well and counting down the time for Lin Sanjiu

"58, 59… 6! It's 6 PM!" Her voice sounded excited and trereat joy and fear, "It's already one past six Why he hasn't come yet?"

Lin Sanjiu felt like she was on a roller coaster, her heart was high in the air, and all the blood had rushed up into her brain She tightened her lower jaws, unwilling to believe that her second planrelaxed as a sh the woed in a battle, he was confident that he could clai that every cloud had a silver lining Just as Puppeteer pressed forward to land a final blow on Lin Sanjiu, a voice suddenly resonated in their ears Judging from the distance of the sounds, he should be not far away from them

"Hey, can you both stop for a moment, please?"

"Here he comes!"

Maybe Puppeteer was stunned by that voice since he did stop his attack Seizing her golden opportunity, Lin Sanjiu jumped and rolled a few meters away from him Then, she stopped

She shouldn't et "punished" by the inco person

Puppeteer narrowed his eyes and turned his head slowly His gaze fell on the side of the road as a child stood there seelance, he swore he had never seen a kid that lookedin front of hi a tank top with a striped pattern and a pair of shorts His limbs were tiny and skinny The corner of his lips was stained with a trace of stickiness, the reary deliciousness he'd devoured on the way There was a droplet of clear liquid dangling under his nose He looked just like a little boy Nevertheless, he was not affected by Puppeteer's [Pestilence] no matter how hard the latter had tried

"Inhabitants of the pocket diht He then turned his attention back to Lin Sanjiu
