Zhang Yue looked at the pile of puppet general parts on the ground, suddenly slapped his forehead, and said excitedly, "Ah, if others can use puppets, why can't I? Wan'er, let's take these puppet general parts back and study them properly!" A gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes, as if he had already seen himself successfully controlling puppets.
Lin Wan'er blinked her big, expressive eyes, nodded, and said, "Brother Yue, I'll listen to you!" Her hair was a bit disheveled, with a few strands clinging to her forehead. Her face was smudged with dust from the battle, and her naturally rosy cheeks now bore a few scratches, but this in no way masked her beauty and cuteness. Her small nose wrinkled slightly, revealing a hint of determination.
The two of them began gathering up the puppet general parts and headed back. By now, the light in the ruins was growing dimmer, and a mysterious and oppressive atmosphere pervaded the surroundings. The gems on the walls flickered uncertainly, as if whispering of unease. The faint light cast upon the ground formed patches of distorted shadows, making one feel as though they were in an illusory world.
