Early the next morning, Yu Sheng moved a chair, hugging Erin, and sat at the entrance of No. 66 Wutong Road. Hu Li and Luna stood beside him like two guardian deities on either side, all four of them (or possibly none of them, being human) eagerly waiting by the roadside for the Alice Puppet who claimed to be Marin to visit.
Erin kept fiddling with her smartwatch—Yu Sheng helped her remove the strap and tied a colorful string to wear it around her neck—the little doll opened and closed several apps, anyone could see she was a bit nervous.
But whenever Yu Sheng spoke up to ask, she would immediately deny it, stubbornly saying she was just bored.
This time, no one exposed the little creature's clumsy excuse.
Yu Sheng glanced at the time, then looked up at the end of the road, his mind still on the phone call with Baili Qing the day before, and the things he had entrusted to him.
