Chapter 306 Puppet, Sharon
It's dawn, what can we do?
It seems that nothing can change the current predicament.
The four members of the Red Gloves team looked at each other and fell into deep thought.
After the sun rose higher, they went out to do things as usual as yesterday to see if they could hide from those people in the dark.
After the morning, they returned to the hotel room to gather and began to discuss countermeasures.
After the morning test, they did not find any suspicious people around them, nor did they encounter any suspicious things.
This made them wonder if the people who were secretly following them were led away by the old man last night?
Some people suggested taking this opportunity to try to leave Puning Port. If they could leave here, they could ask for help.
Some people also suspected that the dream last night was directed and acted by the old man himself, or perhaps nothing happened from beginning to end.
Finally, they were divided into two teams, each with two people.
One team stayed here and did not move, and the other team had one person leave by land and one person escape from Puning Port by sea.
In the afternoon, they boarded their respective carriages and ships smoothly and left.
At night, the two members of the Red Gloves team who stayed in the hotel to wait for their teammates who had just left for less than five hours.
The four people gathered in the room again.
There was a silence at first, and the man who left by car coughed lightly and began to talk about his experience tonight.
"The horse in the carriage I took in the afternoon suddenly went crazy on the road, almost shaking the whole carriage apart. The coachman had to let me get off and walk. I wanted to wait and see if there were other carriages leaving Puning Port, but I waited for an hour and didn't see any other carriages."
"There were no carriages, so I thought about leaving here on foot, and then set off to the villages and towns near Puning Port as shown on the map. In order to avoid being discovered, I deliberately avoided the main road and walked on the dense forest path."
"After walking for more than an hour, I returned to the same place again. This is definitely not normal, so I went back to the hotel first and thought about discussing it with you again."
After he finished speaking, the person who went out to sea by boat also talked about his experience tonight.
Everything was normal, but after about two hours, the captain told them that they might have encountered fog at sea. The ship had been circling in the nearby sea area and could not find the original route, so they had to return.
The captain, who had been making a living on the sea for many years, said that one of them might have caused the displeasure of the sea god, and it was the sea god who stopped them from going out to sea.
The captain and the crew believed this kind of talk, so he was sent back to the shore.
Coincidence? Accidental?
This could no longer explain what they encountered tonight.
"The noble goddess will not sit idly by and watch her believers suffer. As long as we don't write and send the letter back on time, the church will know that we are in trouble now."
"Now, the most important thing for us is to survive safely and wait for the support of the church."
"Everyone take a rest for a night, and think about how to solve this dilemma tomorrow."
...
At ten o'clock in the evening, under the dim light, Hasta sat at the desk, flipping through the new book sent by Mrs. Lisa, which was another book praising the great King in Yellow.
It mainly tells the stories that the Yellow King encounters when he walks in the world as an incarnation. It has a fairy tale style and a slightly dark reality style.
Hastur personally thinks it is well written. Lady Lisa seems to be very talented in this aspect.
After reading the book, Hastur moved his body a little and was about to take a bath and rest. Suddenly, he saw Azshara came to the window excitedly and meowed twice at the dark night outside.
Sharon is back?
Hastur smiled and came to the window. He saw a window in front of him flashing light and a figure appeared in the window.
"Meow."
Azshara waved her little claws to scratch the window glass, as if she wanted to dig Sharon out of it, but she couldn't succeed.
Bang!
Azshara scratched the stained glass on the window too hard, and most of the stained glass fell to the ground.
The broken glass left in the window frame had more than a dozen cracks, and Sharon's figure appeared in each small mirror.
Azshara's dark blue eyes widened, and she couldn't understand the magical scene in front of her.
After watching for a while, she wanted to stretch out her claws again, but when she saw the broken glass on the ground, she retracted her cat claws and called out in grievance.
Soon, the figure of Sharon in the glass gathered together and came to another piece of glass opposite.
"Meow?"
Azshara came closer, her eyes almost sticking to the stained glass.
Sharon in the glass stretched out her hands, picked up Azshara and entered the mirror world.
Entering the glass for the first time, Azshara seemed very excited, lying happily in Sharon's arms, with only her little head exposed.
Hastur looked at this scene and didn't bother to argue with Azshara about destroying the stained glass.
After playing for a while, Sharon moved from the only remaining glass to the mirror on the table, and then walked out.
Sharon, who successfully promoted to a sequence 4 puppet, is not much different from before in terms of appearance and temperament.
Sure enough, before her promotion, she already looked like an emotionless puppet.
Although she was playing with Azshara now, her face was calm without any emotion, and her eyes were clear as water, with no emotion flowing.
It was becoming increasingly difficult to see Sharon's true inner thoughts.
Hasta observed for a while and smiled, "Welcome back."
Sharon nodded, then put Azshara in her arms on the table and said, "Many people came to investigate me."
Hasta raised his eyebrows slightly and said indifferently, "Maybe they are just doing routine work."
Sharon did not speak, and her eyes, almost the same color as Azshara's, just stared at Hasta.
"They came because of Ince Zangwill's matter. The breath and traces you left that night were recognized by them." Hasta had to explain, and then looked at Sharon with a playful smile, "Speaking of which, it was because of you that I was implicated and was also on their investigation list."
That night, he attacked Ince Zangwill, and he was secretive. Later, he took away 008 and eliminated all the breath and traces.
In theory, the members of the Red Gloves team could not lock him, even the Eye of the Goddess.
They must have noticed him through Sharon and based on her movements.
In other words, Sharon's troubles during this period were caused by herself.
Hastur's eyes were always on Sharon's face, but he couldn't see even a little bit of emotional fluctuation from her face. At this moment, she was really like a real puppet.
Although she could speak, she was just a large and exquisite puppet doll in terms of restraining her emotions.
The only pity was that she couldn't play any dress-up games, ahem...
Hastur suppressed those abnormal thoughts and paused, saying, "I am also thinking about how to deal with them."
Although Mrs. Lisa is now handling this matter, Sharon should not be involved too much in the affairs of the yellow monk.
Sharon said calmly, "008 is an ominous seal, it's best to stay away from it."
Hastur laughed, "It's really annoying sometimes, but it's still a little useful."
Now, 008 is still lying quietly in a box in the corner of the desk.
It was only because of Sharon's presence that he didn't jump up and object.
Seeing that Hastur insisted on keeping 008, Sharon didn't continue the topic.
Hastur asked Sharon to sit down first, and then said: "Tell me about your experiences during this period."
"Very good."
"That's it?"
"Yes."
"Ms. Sharon, you are more frugal with words than before."
"Meow."
Azshara also echoed.
"Have you ever seen a talkative puppet?"
"Yes."
Hastur answered very confidently, which made Sharon's eyes flash with surprise.
"In the novel I wrote for you, the puppets who look cold and emotionless have passion like fire in their hearts, and they also desire to communicate with others."
"..."
"Although Azshara can't speak human language, she always likes to interrupt us when we talk. It can be seen that communication is the instinct of living things."
"Meow!"
Azshara glared at Hastur angrily, and ran to Sharon, covering her eyes with her little paws, as if she was crying sadly.
"Look, even a cat can have such vivid expressions, how can a person be worse than a cat."
Hasta also meant something. He knew that Sharon didn't like to talk and didn't like to show emotions. This was Sharon's nature.
But when playing a puppet, Sharon could easily assimilate herself to the puppet because they were too similar.
It was easy to blend in, but it was not so easy to walk out.
He didn't want Sharon to become a person without emotional fluctuations in the end.
Sharon who can laugh and cry is still more lovely.
"Yeah."
Sharon nodded, and her eyes seemed to be much gentler.
"Why don't you try to smile again?"
Sharon ignored Hasta's obviously selfish suggestion.
After staying for more than 20 minutes, Sharon left here.
Her arrival tonight was to tell Hasta that she had been promoted successfully, and to remind Hasta a little.
Sharon had just left when 008, who was lying in the pencil case pretending to be dead, started to jump up and make a fuss to come out.
