Chapter 300 Late Night Time
There was silence in the forest.
Ogis put down the carving knife in her hand and looked intently at the puppet in her hand, her eyes filled with an inexplicable emotion.
"How? What do you think?"
Not far away, the blond girl looked at Ogis while drinking black tea, and asked.
"It feels...very strange."
Ogis murmured to herself, reaching out her hand and gently stroking the surface of the doll.
"I have never had such a feeling before. I can touch it with my fingers and feel its existence. Carving a piece of wood into a completely different look is like turning it into a completely different life... The owner originally created it Was it the same when I was there?”
"I don't know about that."
The blond girl put down the tea cup, and then she saw a small and cute doll holding a teapot in front of her and refilling the blond girl's cup of tea.
"Even if we are both puppet makers, everyone has different ideas. The purpose and idea of making puppets are the same. But now, you have to remember your identity. You are no longer a created being. You now have a creation. talent, then you should think about how to use this talent..."
"The talent to create..."
Hearing the instructions from the blonde girl, a thoughtful look appeared in Ogis's eyes. She lowered her head and looked at the half-formed doll in her hand.
"The talent I need..."
Staring at the doll, Ogis fell into deep thought.
At the same time, Duanmu Huai is enjoying...or nostalgia.
“I never expected that I would revisit a public bathhouse here. How long has it been since I’ve been to a place like this?”
Looking at the dilapidated bathhouse in front of him, Duanmu Huai was speechless. Since he bought the skill book today, he and Lorena spent almost all their duel points. In the end, they had no choice but to rent two shabby apartments. As a result, there was nothing in the apartment except a bed and a toilet. If you want to take a bath, you have to go to a nearby bathhouse - if you had known this, Duanmu Huai should have saved a few more duel points, so that he wouldn't be in such a miserable situation.
"I must earn more points tomorrow, and at least live in a normal place..."
While muttering to himself, Duanmu Huai walked into the bathhouse.
Not long after Duanmu Huai walked into the bathhouse, two more figures appeared outside the bathhouse.
"Really, why do I have to come to a place like this?"
Looking at the bathhouse in front of him, a man with black hair tied in a ponytail complained with dissatisfaction.
"Because the duel damaged the water pipes in the dojo, it takes time to repair. There is no way around it."
Hearing his companion's complaint, a blond man wearing a Taoist uniform next to him answered.
"Extreme flow is a big venue after all. Can't we pay more attention to this aspect?"
"If you want to complain, go complain to Dad, Robert."
"Ugh... forget it then."
Appearing at the entrance of the bathhouse were Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia from Extreme Style. They were masters of Extreme Style and guests of this duel competition. The reason why I came here today is because I accidentally broke the water pipe line during the duel at the dojo. As a result, I was not only scolded by my sister Yuri Sakazaki, but also kicked out. In desperation, the two of them had to go near the dojo. Come and take a bath at the bathhouse.
However, when the two took off their clothes and walked into the bathhouse, they were surprised to find several people standing outside the bathhouse. They were naked and looking inside hesitantly, as if they didn't know whether they should go in or not.
"What's going on?"
“Just ask and you will find out.”
Seeing this scene, Sakazaki Ryo and Robert were also confused. They walked to the door, and then Robert patted one of them on the shoulder.
"Hey, what are you looking at here? There are no women inside."
"Ugh! Ah, you are extreme fans..."
The guests outside were also startled when they were patted on the shoulder by Robert. They turned around and saw Ryo Sakazaki and Robert, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, you don't know...there is a very scary person taking a bath inside, and we don't even dare to go in."
"A terrible person?"
Hearing this, Sakazaki Ryo and Robert looked at each other.
"Yes, it looks like he is from the underworld... Everyone is afraid of him, so they don't dare to go in and take a bath. I asked, is this some kind of underworld trick to scare away the guests and then look for him again?" The store wants benefits or something..."
"There is such a thing?!"
After hearing this, the two of them couldn't help it.
"Let's go take a look."
As he spoke, Sakazaki Ryo strode into the bathhouse, and Robert followed.
The huge bathhouse was empty, and there was no one in it. It was obvious that just as those few guests said, the other guests were probably scared away.
Who on earth could actually do such a dirty trick?
Seeing this scene, Sakazaki Liang frowned. In his opinion, this was obviously not a decent behavior. This was just a dilapidated and ancient bathhouse. It was too much for the underworld to even spare such a place!
So, where are the key people?
"Hey, Liang, look over there."
Just as Ryo Sakazaki looked around to find the culprit, Robert whispered in his ear while raising his chin towards the front. Ryo Sakazaki looked in the direction indicated by Robert, and then——was shocked.
I saw a huge black figure sitting there in the hot spring bath. Under the light, I could see the other person's bulging muscles and brown skin. What's more terrible is that the other person was just sitting there, feeling They are as tall as they stand!
Is this still human? !
Even Sakazaki Ryo and Robert, who have experienced many battles, were startled at this moment. Although the guests outside did say that this guy was very vicious, at that time they only thought it was because the other party had a bad attitude. But now, looking at it, the two of them were also They were quite frightened, especially that ferocious face. It was obvious that he had his eyes closed, but for some reason, it gave the two of them an unprecedented sense of oppression and intimidation.
It felt as if they were not in a bathing place, but in a cave in the mountains, facing a sleeping tiger!
No, I'm afraid tigers are easier to deal with!
Unconsciously, the two of them even breathed softly, as if they were instinctively afraid of the man in front of them, or even afraid of waking him up.
Wait, that’s not right! It was at this moment that the two of them suddenly came to their senses.
They are extreme fighters, how could they be intimidated by one person like this!
If word of this spreads, how can they still fool around? !
"I want to come forward and say that what he is doing is simply causing trouble to the store!"
Sakazaki Liang gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, looked at the man and whispered. Although he forced himself to calm down, the strangely coercive figure just sitting there was enough to make him feel nervous. In fact, Sakazaki Ryo has unknowingly entered the fighting state. At this moment, he even feels more nervous than in the duel field.
"Be careful."
Robert also clenched his fists and whispered, while he chuckled.
"However, there is no need to worry too much. I have seen many big guys like this. They are all strong on the outside but weak on the inside. They are not worth mentioning at all..."
"Hmm..."
Hearing Robert's words, Sakazaki Liang nodded, then he took a deep breath and walked over.
"Hey, you...!"
"Huh?"
Hearing someone calling him, Duanmu Huai opened his eyes and looked forward. When he saw these two people, he couldn't help but be startled.
Isn’t this Sakazaki Ryo and Robert?
Are you not familiar with them? What are they looking for?
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai looked at the two of them.
"What happened?"
“——————!!”
What a look!
What Sakazaki Liang and Robert didn't expect was that when the other person opened his eyes and looked at them, they suddenly felt an unprecedented terror! It's as if what's there is not a human being at all, but a giant dragon! At this moment, it even opened its eyes and was staring at these tiny creatures, as if it wanted to devour them completely in one bite!
Who is this person!
Robert even took a step back and directly assumed a fighting posture. This was not because he was belligerent, but because his body instinctively sensed the danger and spontaneously chose to resist.
Because——if you don’t resist, you will die! !
"Are you.........Are you a fighter?"
Meeting Duan Muhuai's gaze, Sakazaki Liang also trembled, but he still forced himself to calm down and asked.
"Yes, do you two want to have a fight?"
Duanmu Huai nodded and then asked. This is not surprising. After all, in Duel City, players will increase their reputation after winning the battle. When their reputation is high, people will challenge them. It's just that Duanmu Huai didn't expect that he would be selected - after all, these two are considered all-star characters. Logically speaking, he must gain a certain level of reputation before he will receive their invitation to challenge.
"Ah...hmm!"
As soon as Sakazaki's words came out of his mouth, he realized that there was no turning back, so he nodded.
"Tomorrow, we will wait for you at the extreme flow dojo!"
"No problem."
Duanmu Huai did not doubt that he was there and nodded. The extreme flow dojo can be regarded as a tourist attraction for players to check in. He was actually able to receive the invitation - it was really a waste of time if he didn't go.
"Then, see you at the dojo tomorrow."
After saying this, Sakazaki Liang and Robert began to step back cautiously. Seeing that the two were planning to leave, Duanmu Huai stood up out of politeness and nodded to the two of them.
"Okay, I understand. I will go to the dojo tomorrow to bother you... Oh."
While he was talking, the bath towel around Duanmu Huai's waist suddenly fell off, and Duanmu Huai subconsciously lowered his head to pick it up. When he picked up the bath towel and raised his head, he saw that both Sakazaki Liang and Robert had disappeared.
Leaving now? But this is indeed not the place for conversation.
Duanmuhuai scratched his head, shrugged his shoulders, and sat down again.
Tomorrow, let’s go to the extreme dojo.
Just as Duanmuhuai closed his eyes again to relax and enjoy the hot spring bath, in the bathroom outside, Sakazaki Liang and Robert were leaning against the wall, their faces pale, and they were breathing heavily.
"Hey...Robert, did you see it?"
"You saw...what is that?! Is that what humans should have?"
Recalling the scene he just saw, Robert couldn't help but tremble.
What a ferocious dragon that is! Could such a thing really exist in the world? !
Thinking of this, Robert looked down, and then felt depressed - in front of that giant dragon, he was just a weak little green worm.
"Don't give up!"
Ryo Sakazaki reached out, grabbed Robert's shoulders, and stared at him.
"We haven't lost yet! The man's battle has just begun! Tomorrow, at the Extreme Flow Dojo, we will defeat him! Cheer up! Robert! Don't give in to fear!!"
"...Ah, I understand, Liang."
Hearing Ryo Sakazaki's encouragement, Robert's originally gloomy eyes gradually regained their brightness.
"Thank you...I won't give in like this!"
As he spoke, Robert looked at the door of the bathhouse in front of him.
"Tomorrow is the real battle!"
