Chapter 190 Gone Like Yesterday

With the giant rift known as the Worlds Creation hanging overhead, the cold breeze of the ocean blowing against her skin, and the constant waves finely battering against the rowboats side, Alice felt like she was in a dream. Of course, she didnt really know what a dream was since she had been asleep for so, so long. However, if she had to guess, this would be how it would feel to her if she were human floating in a big, big place, her thoughts drifting away with the currents driving her to a different world.

Oh, theres also the three Enders sitting across from her in the vessel, but thats unimportant since theyre tied up like dumplings at the moment.

From her view, these are very bad people, the worst of the worst. Alice didnt know any humans so far, but if she did, Miss Doll most certainly wouldnt want to be friends with these folks.

Are you afraid? After holding back for a decent amount of time, Alice finally couldnt resist starting a conversation. Shes really uncomfortable sitting here by herself without anyone to talk to. Although she knew this was a safety test that had to be done before she operated in the human city, its still unsettling to be off the Vanished parked not far away in the distance.

Stupid filth, clumsy shell One of the Enders responded to the puppets voice, his thin skeleton-like head slowly raised and stared into Alices eyes, Your soul is pale and empty, and subspace will not take in

'

Alice was stunned by the rude response and took a moment to react: Hey, dont be rude to others!

Unfazed, the Ender on the opposite side only let out a mirth of hoarse and ugly laughter that frightened Miss Doll even further.

Sulking at being disrespected, Alice shook her head to get rid of the bad mood: Im not angry anymore.

This caused the second Ender to glance up inquiringly.

I shouldnt be angry since you can only protest like this. After all, it is you who is tied up and not me, and it is you who have to do this head-dropping test, not me. Captain said, one mustnt get carried away when you are riding the wind, otherwise you will capsize in the end

Despite the Enders acting all quiet and indifferent, the doll still managed to catch the subtle changes in their body language they were exchanging silent looks and moving their necks from time to time.

'

This gives the impression that theyre wondering why their heads are still intact. At least in Alices eyes, thats how they were behaving.

Actually, I am a little afraid, Alice said suddenly. Im afraid your heads will suddenly fall off. Captain said I could decapitate people, which startled me because humans dont have the same ability as me. Their heads cant go back on afterward

Suddenly, the sound of flapping wings came from above and caught Alices eye. She could tell its Ai who had come to check on her. Next thing the doll knew, Ai had dropped a gorgeous wooden box next to the boat.

My box! Alice cried out in surprise and immediately imagined the picture of being swept out of her home. However, she quickly noticed a small note sticking to the top.

(The guillotine ability may also be related to your wooden box. Sent it for resting. Also, stop imagining youre going to be kicked off the ship again)

Alice flipped the note up and down and couldnt understand whats written there.

Shes illiterate

'

But soon, she saw something else on the back of the note, a scrawled stick figure of her rowing back to the Vanished with a smiling face at the end. That she understood.

At ease now, Alice casually fished the wooden box out of the water with her hand and threw it next to herself. Then turning to face the cultists sitting across from herself: Are you hungry?

Naturally, Miss Doll didnt expect a response and only asked out of courtesy: Although Captain said that you are people that deserve to die, he also said that he wont kill you if you can complete the test. He will instead send you back to the city-state, and then whats it called?

The puppet lady was a little stuck as she tried to recall the wording: Oh, to show the concern of an enthusiastic citizen worried for the citys safety He said youre worth at least seven bikes. What is a bicycle?

Subspace will feed us Subspace will give us peace Subspace will bless the perished after all life comes to the promised end One of the Enders muttered randomly as if to answer Alices rambling. We are walkers of the end, abandoning our cursed flesh and blood for the promise. Our minds are open and await the new world

Huh? That confused Alice, What are you talking about?

'

No response came though, only a boring one-person conversation between Alice and her box. She couldnt be any happier when dawn finally came. Best of all, she didnt behead anyone!

YAAA! Its dawn! You are still alive! We can go back now!

The celebratory words didnt affect the three captives, but the glimmer of light did. They looked up and made a creepy grin.

Oh, our day is over the madman sighed softly and slowly turned his head to meet Alices perfect jewel eyes. Doll, we will meet again someday.

Huh? Alice was stunned, What do you mean by that? You cant just escape into thin air

Unfortunately, Miss Doll had spoken too soon. As the morning glow spread, the Enders bodies were silently disappearing, fading into nothingness like phantoms of yester years.

Alice popped her eyes in literal bafflement, Did they really just escape into thin air?
