The nth time I met my puppet

At some point, Wan Nan developed a high fever.

Wan Nan only felt his throat was dry and his whole body was cold, but his forehead was very hot. He was a little dazed from the burn. Wan Nan shook his head, washed his face, and tried to wake himself up.

She still had things to do. At least she had to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and that bastard who was plotting against her, she had to chop him into pieces.

"Host, do you need 007's help? Although we can't eradicate the aura of the God of Worship, we can suppress it temporarily. However, after a short period of suppression, the aura of the God of Worship will begin to counterattack, so after the suppression is over, it should become more serious."

"Not for now. Help me suppress the mastermind when I find him and want to chop him off."

After adjusting his state, Wan Nan went to call Qingqizhe to get up, but found that he was already awake.

"You're awake? So early? I was just about to come and call you."

"Well, because I have things to do today."

The curious one was a little surprised. Wan Nan usually liked to stay in bed, but she woke up so early today. It was really abnormal. He felt that Wan Nan's face looked a little strange, and subconsciously wanted to check her body temperature.

Wan Nan cleverly avoided it, then smiled and spoke in a relaxed manner.

"I'm fine. I just got up a little early because I had a lot of things to do today. I plan to go look for Niwa."

Wan Nan was worried that Jiuliu would reveal his flaws, so he turned around and walked out the door first. Qingqizhe hurriedly followed him and soon found Niwa who was in a panic.

"None of the people you sent out have returned, right?"

Wan Nan didn't plan to waste any more time talking and went straight to the point. She didn't have that much time to waste. Niwa was silent for a moment, but ultimately didn't deny it.

"That's right, they probably won't be coming back. We still need to send more people to seek help, but with more and more people showing symptoms, there's no one left who can handle this mission."

"I'll go and take Jin Yu to seek help. Maybe there's still a chance."

Upon hearing this, the strange man took the initiative to take on this task. He had already had this plan when Niwa told him yesterday. He would take the golden feather to ask for help. Perhaps only by stepping on the sand could there be a glimmer of hope.

"…Are you sure? Those who went there haven't returned, which means they might have met with misfortune. Are you sure you want to take this risk?"

Niwa naturally also hopes that the curious person can go, but he is not willing to force it. At least he can only let him go when the person concerned is fully aware of it.

"determine."

The Strange One nodded. He wanted to end the disaster of Ta'ersha. He didn't want to see any more disasters happening. Before, he even felt guilty about why he couldn't help at all. But now that he was needed, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Okay, then I'll send two more people to protect you?"

Niwa was still a little worried, but Qingqizhe refused. He also believed that he had the ability to protect himself. Niwa wanted to say something but was interrupted by Wannan.

"No need, just trust him. Don't you see who taught him swordsmanship?"

Now, Taqisha is seriously short of manpower. Most of the remaining people are old, weak, sick and disabled. What's more, with the strength of the strange people, the two accompanying them may become a drag.

Instead of this, it would be better to let the curious person go by himself. Wan Nan also believed that he could do it. She originally wanted to go with him, but considering her physical condition, she finally gave up the idea. She didn't want to be a drag.

In the end, Niwa didn't say anything more.

"Take care of yourself."

"I won't go. Talingsha is short-staffed, so I may need to stay here to help."

"Well... when I come back, we will rebuild the house as agreed." The curious one was a little reluctant.

This was the first time that Qingqizhe wanted to say goodbye to Wannan after they met. Although he was very reluctant, he still couldn't stay.

"Okay, we'll rebuild together when you come back."

Wan Nan rubbed Qingqizhe's head, then Qingqizhe packed up his things and set out alone to seek help. However, after walking a distance, he thought of something and turned back to shout in the direction of Wan Nan.

"Also... I've gradually understood what you meant these days. I'll give you an answer when I get back!"

Wan Nan sneered helplessly, well, it's pretty good.

She still has a chance to wait for the curious one to come back. As long as nothing unexpected happens, taking into account the time for round trip, they still have a great chance of seeing each other again.

But at the same time, after the strange man left, she was no longer able to hide her true condition, and Niwa also saw Wan Nan's condition.

"Wannan... have you also been to Yuying Luxin?"

"Well... I didn't have the chance to talk about this yesterday. After I went in and found the reason, I planned to retreat, but the retreat route was blocked. Someone wanted to trap me there, and he made two special preparations for this.

Oh no, maybe it was a third move, blocking my retreat, then lighting a fire to attract everyone's attention, leaving me with no one to turn to, and forcing me to go deeper into the furnace.

No matter what I do, I have no way out. I either wait to die or get sick like them and still wait to die.

I believe your people would never do such a thing. But I also hope you can tell me everything you know, because I don’t have much time.”

Wan Nan has revealed everything at this point, which shows her sincerity, and she also hopes that Niwa can show the same sincerity.

Niwa was silent for a moment, but he finally stopped hiding it and told all his guesses, and everything pointed to one person.

Escher.

"Well, that bastard is the one who locked me in here, isn't he? I'm going to kill him right now."

After hearing this, Wan Nan didn't hesitate and immediately planned to pick up the sword and chop the man. It would be fine as long as he chopped him off, right?

"No, don't be impulsive. Regardless of whether we can win or not, the key point is that this disaster isn't over yet. The leak of the Chongshen aura still hasn't been resolved, and he has the solution in his hands right now. If we kill him, everyone in Talingsha will be buried with him."

Niwa calmly stated the cruel and true reality. This was the dilemma they faced, a real dilemma. They knew the culprit but were powerless to do anything about it.

"So is there nothing I can do but wait to die and watch all this happen?"

Wan Nan was so angry that she couldn't kill the culprit even though she knew he was the one responsible. This feeling was really too painful, but she also didn't want the entire group of people in Talingsha to be buried with her because of her momentary impulse.

Niwa remained silent this time. Wannan's question was too straightforward. In fact, that was the case. Things had developed to this point and they had no way out and no way to stop it.

"I'm sorry... If I had discovered his plot earlier and stopped it earlier, perhaps none of this would have happened."

No matter how smart Niwa is, he is not a prophet. Everything has already happened and there is nothing they can do.
