Chapter 7: Hunger
The next morning, before dawn, Zhu Lin opened her eyes and woke up from meditation. Since she was wearing the bracelet Tu Tu gave her, she could strangely hear the voices and shouts of the puppets. She looked down, saw Tu Tu who was still sleeping with its limbs spread out on her lap, and chuckled lightly.
Zhu Lin hugged the rabbit, stood up, and looked down from the railing. The building she lived in last night was very tall. From the top of the building, everything below was only the size of ants. But for her, she can still see and hear everything clearly.
"Hungry..."
"... Eat... eat..."
Since last night, these puppets have kept repeating this sentence in their mouths. It was very interesting that the puppet in this world could talk, while those in the Six Realms couldn’t. Some of them even have their mouths sewn closed by their master. Zhu Lin stood there and watched those puppets for a long time with great interest.
Unknowingly, when she was watching the puppets, the sun slowly rose from the horizon. When the first ray of sunlight shone down on the world, Zhu Lin noticed that the movements of those puppets had obviously slowed down, and they became more sluggish than before. While she was observing the puppet, her stomach suddenly rumbled.
Growl...
She was surprised by the sound coming from her stomach, and touched her stomach curiously. She waited for a while before she felt a slight tremor inside her stomach, accompanied by a trace of pain.
Growl...
