Rise And Shine, Puppeteer!

If there was a monster standing before you, would you expect it to give you an answer?

Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath.

The reason she did not answer Polva's question was that she did not want the creature in the dark to realize that her hearing had recovered. Be that as it may, she knew she could not remain silent forever. She pried her mouth open a little and answered in a whisper, "Yes, I am."

The darkness remained silent. Perhaps her meltdown earlier on had cleared out quite a lot of the things in the dark, thus most of them did not dare to come near her right now.

"So, you really are Xiao Jiu. T-that's good then," Polva stuttered. There was an edginess in him. He felt he should say something but had no idea what was said on occasions like this. After a short pause, he continued, "Long time no see."
