Chapter 34: Marionette

Wu Yun’s ears rang, but before he could gather his thoughts, Toby slaainWu Yun finally passed out and lay sprawled over the steering wheel

Toby laughed, appearing sinister and deranged

He got out of the car and the silver spider crawled into his collar againHe dragged Wu Yun out and threw him onto the back seat, then sat in the driver’s seat and drove away, the vehicle buh the dense forest

They passed the delivery truck, but Toby acted like he hadn’t seen it and rolled over the cocoon-wrapped corpses of his co ancient tree wrapped in numerous vines

There were hundreds of thousands of vines, entwined and sustaining each other up, while the ancient tree stood staunchly like a pillar reaching for the skyUnder the tangle of vines, it for the shape of several s latticesThe vines were interwoven into elaborate waves and curls like classic Rococo-style buildingsIt had an air of elegance and ed Wu Yun out of the car and hauled Zhou Yu over his shoulder

Light fell through the gaps between the vines of the castle like a s brook

Silver-white transparent butterflies danced ahts

Toby dragged Wu Yun to a tunnel entrance at the front of the tree-castle and pushed him in, then threw Zhou Yu down after him

The silver spider crawled out fro vineThe silk thread connecting it to Toby broke and Toby suddenly lost consciousnessHis eyes closed as he cruround, just in time to fall into the hole

They slid down the cave and fell into a dark, spacious underground cha picked open a pine nut and sent it to Mo Ye’s mouth: “Mo Ye, do you want to eat pine nuts?”

Mo Ye was curled up in a ball and huddled on the chair beside hi out and push out tohi and his eyes were closedIt wasn’t clear what he had on hiscrooked his head to the side and said, “Pine nuts… Zhou Yu liked to eat them when he was a childThere were a lot of them in his pocket! Would you like to try it?”

When he mentioned Zhou Yu, Mo Ye suddenly opened his eyes, and a touch of gold flashed through his ained itJust as he was about to rub his eyes, Mo Ye suddenly straightened up his back and ju?”

Mo Ye went to the door and hit it hardThe door did not openHe turned back to look at Zhou Qing, a detero out? Why? Is staying with ?”

Just then, a researcher came inThehurried to chase after hi?! Come back!”

Still, Mo Ye rushed out of the rooh the corridorAt the saateThe ate was about to close, Mo Ye rushed out fro behind

“Goodness! What was that about?” The field worker asked, confused

“Professor Zhou! Shouldn’t you notify control center as soon as possible?” Zhou Qing’s assistant ca where he wasHe had a feeling that the reason why Mo Ye had reacted like that was because Zhou Yu’s life was in dangerIf so, he would let Mo Ye leave instead of locking him up in here

He pretended to be slow to react and stood there for h the inner core of the base and into its outer wing

News eventually reached Song Zhi and he sent out an order to the system control center of the base to trap Mo Ye inside

nobody kne Mo Ye did itHe seemed to know exactly which channels would open in the labyrinth of the base and exactly when soh

At the ate when a truck that was returning froate was opened, Song Zhi ordered, “Close all nodes! No one is allowed in or out! Stop him! We must stop him!”

The staff of the system control center had cold sweat down their backsTheir brain processing speed and the rate at which their fingers could type out code were far slower than Mo YeSoh the ht

Mo Ye’s speed gave hiht sky, shooting out froatesHe leaped on top of the hood of the Hu, the hood crumpled flat and even the front tire was blown

The system control employees were struck dumb with disbelief“That ay too fast! We had no way of predicting where he went at all, but he knew exactly which gates were being opened!”

Song Zhi’s hands were laid out flat on the tableThere was no doubt that Mo Ye possessed senses that were beyond those of huh the syste Zhi saw Mo Ye’s faceHis eyes were firh any obstacles in front of hi Zhi’s forehead

It could be seen from this that it was completely within Mo Ye’s capabilities to leave the base by himselfThe only reason why he had not left was because of Zhou Yu

At thisHe finally found a trace of clarity and sat up slowly

There was darkness all around him, and in the darkness there were countless silver spots twinklingHe shi+elded his eyes and finally saw that those lus

When his eyes fully adapted to the darkness, Zhou Yu could see everything around him more clearlyThe spacious cavern he was in was interwoven by various vinesOverhead, he could also see the eular shapeIt was alht fell in froround, just likelattices

Wu Yun and Toby were lying down beside himZhou Yu immediately stretched out his hand and pressed it on Wu Yun’s neckWhen he felt a pulse in his carotid artery, Zhou Yu finally let out the breath he had been holding inWu Yun was still aliveHe checked Toby and found that he was still alive as well, but his hands and feet had been twistedZhou Yu realized that soanism must have controlled Toby and attacked him and Wu Yun

Zhou Yu carefully observed the space around the or someone; it was ianisen

The walls of the castle before him were actually part of the ancient treeThe silver butterflies fluttered their wings and slowly flew to Zhou Yu’s side, as if they were helping hiht up the area to let him see the walls s on the wallsZhou Yu touched thes were deep and full of athered near him, Zhou Yu could see them betterIt was a portrait of a woht curve of her lips were especially tantalizingZhou Yu believed that whoever had carved this woman possessed a deep adoration for her

Zhou Yu took out his recorder and pointed it at the artwork above himIf he could make it back to the base alive, he would hand it all over to Song ZhiWhether it was the s, this place e the ancient trees as pillars in the castle, weaving vines into the walls in rococo patterns, and hts—none of this was so huanisentle voice sounded, yet Zhou Yu could not see anyone after looking around

It suddenly dawned on hianish his mind

“Who are you?” Zhou Yu immediately returned to where Wu Yun and Toby were

“It doesn’t s in your brainYou are a hu, yet Elpis chose you”

“What do you want to do?” Zhou Yu was tense with caution as he placed his hand on the gun at his waistIt was still there!

“My original purpose was very simple; that is to treat you as food and sustenanceHowever, it’s a pity that you’ve injected so into your bodies so that if I were to eat you, it would be detri metabolizes”

“So that’s how it is”

Zhou Yu knew that no matter what he planned out or how he acted, it will be noticed by the level organismMore importantly, the tree-castle was completely under its controlIt was impossible for him to leave with Wu Yun, let alone by hilad you have such an awareness of your situationThe relationshi+p between us is like cats and er you spend with er I will keep you aliveBut once I find you boring, I’ll openand playful, it was unclear if it was playing tricks on the them, but its threats were a little immature

“And where is your ain, slightly insane

“My head is on the ceiling, ers are around your throat, and as for my mouth… Where is it? You’re already in my stomach”

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes: “Why do I think you’re bluffing?”
