Chapter 712: The Best Thing In Life Is Counting Money

After ordering Soulsqn to pull the puppet out, Lin Sanjiu placed it next to the heap of whatnots and began examining one of it.

The puppet was a dark-skinned male posthuman with an unknown origin. His soul had long departed, leaving only his body behind. Without a doubt, he was yet another poor soul whose life had been reaped by Puppeteer to serve as one of his puppets. Right now, since his master had severed their ties, he was merely a corpse. His two dilated gray eyes stared straight into the sky. The sand filled his nostrils, but he remained unmoving.

"He looks somewhat familiar," Lin Sanjiu mumbled with a frown, "Where have I met him?"

"There's nothing under the sand dune. Lord Puppeteer is gone," Soulsqn's entire body was caked with sand, and Lin Sanjiu had no idea why but she felt the flesh worm looked much more pleasant in this way. "I'm not an earthworm, why should I…"

"I knew it!" Lin Sanjiu shouted, cutting Soulsqn's rant off. The flesh worm turned head and stared at Lin Sanjiu begrudgingly, "You just can't wait until I finish, can you? Anyway, what have you got there?"

"I remember who he was," Lin Sanjiu said as she inspected the man even closer, "I met him at the Salvation of God before. He was with a god known as Sanduria, and Puppeteer used him to control her."

Soulsqn had no idea about that and she was not interested in the things that they went through in the Salvation Of God. "So?"

"All three of us were dragged into the Data Stream Library, so by right, his puppets, including this one, should be still in the Salvation Of God," she said, her brows beginning to lose their strain, "The puppet that should've been in the Salvation Of God has appeared in here..."

'Why? Is this his sort of tactical retreat measure?'

Lin Sanjiu was no stranger to this kind of spatial manipulation technique. During her stay in the Garden of Eden, she came across a posthuman named Qian Zhengguan, who possessed the ability to shift positions with anybody within a certain radius. Lin Sanjiu had used his ability once. Perhaps Puppeteer had this kind of emergency escape plan as his last resort as well.

On second thought, since he had sustained a great number of injuries after a consecutive fight and had gone into suspended animation due to the deprivation of oxygen, this indeed could be considered a dire situation. Taking his status and his ability into consideration, it was not surprising that he would have a back-up plan to save himself when his life was in danger.

Her apprehension abated somewhat when the thought surfaced in her mind. After all, she could not think of any other reason to explain why Puppeteer would suddenly go missing, and why his puppet would appear here.

Lin Sanjiu was already accustomed to being separated from her rades. She retracted her gaze from the male posthuman body as she said, "Perhaps he has returned to the Salvation Of God. I suppose we don't have to worry about him."

An ox was taken by the horns, and a man by the tongue. Little did Lin Sanjiu know that the second the sentence tumbled off her tongue, it would bring her such a terrible disaster that she hoped she was dead. For the next full hour, Soulsqn never stopped talking for even one moment, drowning Lin Sanjiu's brain and ears with her ear-grating yells.

Unlike humans, the flesh worm's body could still carry out some kind of chemical reaction even though she was not breathing. In other words, she could rattle on and on without the need to breathe.

The veins on Lin Sanjiu's forehead bulged while she closed her eyes.

"I have to get back to the Salvation Of God, and I must return to my clansmen at all costs. There's no way you can stop me." The last thing the flesh grub would care about was other people's opinions of her. "You said there's no way to return, but why could Lord Puppeteer go back? I don't care. You have to bear the responsibility. You've gotta think of a way to return to the Salvation Of God."
