But almost at the very mont it was about to finish Lynn off in one bite.
Its body abruptly froze in place.
In the darkness.
One after another of crystal-clear threads had, at so unknown ti, densely wrapped around its body. They suddenly tightened, directly binding it firmly in place.
Miss Puppet's body emitted a faint glow, thin threads winding between her fingers, streams of light that could stun the world with their beauty swirling in her eyes.
Obviously.
Miss Puppet had long since discovered the hunter hidden in the darkness.
And as an opportunist, what Miss Puppet was most skilled at was setting up a trap in advance, then waiting for the enemy to walk right into it.
"Hiss— Hiss—"
A series of furious, terrifying, snake-like hissing sounds ca.
Lynn turned his head.
Then he imdiately saw clearly the creature that had suddenly attacked and been subdued by Miss Puppet.
"Little Treasure?!!!"
Lynn exclaid in utter shock.
The Big Tongue, which was struggling desperately and hissing in rage, imdiately heard this voice. Its entire body jolted, instantly stiffening, facing the guy wearing the plague doctor mask before it.
"It's !"
Lynn, overjoyed, pulled off his plague doctor mask in one swift motion, revealing his handso face.
"Don't you rember ?! The one who fed you every day!"
"......"
Silence fell all around.
The Big Tongue remained frozen in place, as if soone had cast a ti-stop spell on it.
Then in an instant.
The Big Tongue erupted with a force rarely seen in its life, a layer of dead skin instantly appearing on its surface. Then, like a cicada shedding its golden shell, it directly broke free from Miss Puppet's restraints.
Almost without any hesitation.
As if it had seen the god of plague.
(ΩДΩ) It retreated explosively towards the backyard at an unimaginable speed, whooshing away.
Lynn was covered in question marks "??"
"After it!"
Without another word, Lynn quickly turned around and sprinted towards the backyard.
He yanked open the cloth curtain.
He saw one tongue after another, split off from the one in the cellar, rapidly retreating from various rooms at an unbelievable speed, whooshing back with sparks and lightning.
One of the tongues, upon seeing Lynn who had just barged in through the door, imdiately trembled, popping out several bumps.
Then it quickly coiled around the stone lid beside the cellar entrance, trying to slam it shut.
How could this be allowed?!
Relatives eting, faces flushed with emotion, how could Lynn possibly let it close the lid?
Without another word.
Almost at the exact mont that tongue was about to pull the stone cellar lid shut, Lynn rushed over, wrapped his arms around the wriggling tongue, and with all his might, he yanked a large section of it out through the gap.
"Little Treasure, I'm so incredibly happy to see you!"
Lynn, tears streaming down his face, hugged the Big Tongue, sobbing and sniffling.
The Big Tongue kept struggling and writhing, its tip continuously emitting furious hissing sounds, but it was clearly completely useless.
[Ding! Little Treasure's Affinity towards you -10]
[Ding! Little Treasure's Affinity towards you -20]
"You must have missed a lot too, right? Teacher was really too heartless, leaving you, a single tongue, here all alone to fend for yourself. This is definitely not how a proper master should behave!"
Lynn choked up, pouring out his feelings of long-awaited reunion.
Then he pulled it outward with all his might, like stretching noodles, whooshing and pulling, forcibly dragging over ten ters of the Big Tongue out from the cellar.
"But don't worry, your little master has returned. With here, I guarantee you'll eat well and drink well, never having to worry about your als again!"
[Ding! Little Treasure's Affinity towards you -30!]
"Hiss— Hiss hiss hiss—"
The Big Tongue emitted furious hissing sounds.
...
Half an hour later.
The Big Tongue, like a snake, resigned to its fate, coiled itself into a poop-like shape, lying there hollowly, its entire body exuding an aura of utter lifelessness.
Because that bastard who fed it expired potions and (beep) for two years had freaking returned.
This ford a stark contrast with Lynn, who sat opposite it, his face full of happiness and emotion.
Lynn happily turned his head, smiling at Miss Puppet:
"Miss Puppet, let introduce you. This is the third most important figure of our Bloodsaw Potion Shop, also my teacher's Little Treasure, a very flexible tongue. Usually, Teacher raises , and I raise it. We share a deep revolutionary friendship and a bond forged through life and death!"
Little Treasure lifted its tongue hollowly, saying: "Hiss hiss— Hiss—"
The roughly translated aning was.
Bull-freaking-shit.
Miss Puppet sat suspended on her threads, propping her chin, still maintaining that quiet, listening posture. But it was also obvious she was sowhat puzzled as to why all the beings Lynn associated with were such bizarre-looking creatures.
Lynn turned his head, patted the surface of Little Treasure's tongue contentedly, and winked:
"Little Treasure, have you had a tough ti these past days? Have you been very lonely, very isolated?"
The Big Tongue was furious.
It whooshingly split off another tongue, which reached into the cellar below, scooped up a rotting corpse and a high-level potion, then angrily started chewing and drinking heartily.
Clearly telling him.
It had been living the high life!
It ate one thief that ca, chewed up one intruder that arrived, drank potions as it pleased, used the rooms as it liked.
It was freaking aweso, no doubt about it.
Lynn asked suspiciously: "So you an, during the ti Teacher was away, there were many outsiders coming to our shop every day?"
The Big Tongue sneered contemptuously: "Hiss hiss—"
Without a doubt, the reason it could live so lavishly during this period was thanks to those fearless guys.
Lynn imdiately understood.
Because of the incident where they wiped out the Demonkin Association before, Master and his little shop were obviously exposed. Those who ca to investigate probably included not just remnants from the Demonkin Association branch, but also other interested factions.
And the reason they didn't dare to actually cause trouble was probably still due to the deterrence of Little One's family.
And Lynn's purpose for returning this ti was also very simple.
The smile on Lynn's face grew even more charming.
That was his own timid yet adorable Little Treasure!
As a flexible tongue that beca sentient from a Colossus, if he accidentally encountered the Colossus Brain, looking at the face of a relative, it would more or less give so face, right?
"Little Treasure, let's get straight to the point. Daddy's main purpose for coming back this ti is for you!"
Lynn winked, grabbing the Big Tongue in one swift motion, saying:
"Although you're not exactly a proper tongue, we've been together day and night for two years, and our feelings have developed quite a bit. So this ti, co out and wander with . Do you know why I absolutely must bring you along?
"Because I've helped you find your long-lost relative!"
"That's right! Your long-lost brain has already been unearthed!"
Ps: Can anyone guess the relationship between Lynn and Little Treasure? Why is it that even though the Affinity has dropped into the negatives by a lot, Little Treasure still hasn't developed any intent to kill Lynn? Many foreshadowing clues have been laid earlier.
