Chapter 335: First Meeting with the Toymaker

"But the question is, who can accomplish such a huge plan?"

"A puppet is just a puppet. What we are looking for is the puppeteer. And I have a memory. I think someone is returning after a long time." The Doctor said with his arms folded and a serious expression.

"Celestial toy maker." Li Qingyue said lightly.

After hearing this, Doctor was stunned. He looked at Li Qingyue in surprise.

"Doctor, I'm sorry, but I don't know who he is, but he's the reason we came back to help you again."

"The Celestial Toymaker? It can't be his. He has no way of entering this universe!" said the Doctor in horror.

Everyone looked at the Doctor in disbelief, because the Doctor seldom showed his frightened expression, no matter what crisis he encountered, he could always face it calmly, but now just hearing a name made him so panicked.

"Who is the Celestial Toymaker?" Kate couldn't help but ask.

The Doctor sighed when he saw this, and spoke after a long while: "When I was very young, the TARDIS was captured by the Toymaker, and I was forced to play a triple logic game with him. Although I won in the end, his strength was always imprinted in my mind. But logically speaking, he should not have been able to come to this universe. It was me who shouldn't have sprinkled salt on the border of the universe."

"What is he then? Human? Alien?"

"No, he is a powerful and evil god, a real god. He can do anything you can imagine. He can play with supernovas and treat all gods as toys. He is the most powerful being I have ever encountered."

At this point, there was actually a hint of fear in the Doctor's tone. After all, in front of the Toymaker, all the knowledge and experience that he was proud of were just digested. In the Toymaker's field, no, it cannot be said to be a field. Where the Toymaker is, science becomes a toy and the gods become puppets for him to play with. This is the power and also the terror of the Toymaker.

After listening to the Doctor's description, everyone fell silent, even Li Qingyue was silent. He had to say that even he could not compete with the Toymaker, but don't forget, he has a trump card, even if he faces the Toymaker head-on, he is not inferior at all.

"Okay, now is not the time to discuss the Toymaker's power. What we need to do now is to solve the crisis of humanity first. As for the Toymaker's crisis, we will talk about it later, OK?" Donna interrupted everyone.

But she was right. The most important thing now was to resolve this crisis. Otherwise, mankind would be destroyed before the Toymaker appeared.

After that, the Doctor asked them about the specific date when Puzzled Bill would appear, and then took Donna and Li Qingyue into the TARDIS, while Walter stayed to help them find other ways to eliminate the influence of Puzzled Bill.

With the sound of the TARDIS's brakes, the Doctor and his two companions arrived at 1925 Frith Street, Soho on October 10, 2, which was the address where Pullman Bill first appeared in public.

As the three of them continued to go deeper, Li Qingyue saw a toy store and a strong premonition came to him. He reached out and grabbed the Doctor and Donna's shoulders and stopped them directly.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything, Boss Li?" Donna asked puzzledly.

Li Qingyue didn't say anything, but stared at the toy store in front of him. The Doctor seemed to sense something and looked towards the toy store. Even Donna looked towards the toy store. Even if her reaction was slow at this time, she understood that there was something wrong with this toy store.

The three of them walked in with heavy steps, and as soon as they entered, they saw the owner playing with a few balls.

"Ball was the first game invented. A man in the Stone Age picked up a stone and said, 'Oh, it's a ball!'" At this point, the shopkeeper threw a ball at the Doctor. Although it was very fast, the Doctor caught it accurately and threw it casually on the ground.

"He threw it out, killed a guy and said: 'Oh, that's fun'."

"Now everyone loves to play ball, until five billion years from now, but the last man picks up the skull of his enemy and says, 'That's the last ball,' right?"

Every time the shopkeeper spoke a word, he would throw a ball towards the Doctor, and the Doctor would catch it accurately every time. But what terrified the three people was that the shopkeeper had three balls in his hand, as if the balls he just threw came from another dimension. At this time, the shopkeeper's identity became clear. He was the existence that frightened the Doctor - the Celestial Toymaker.

"Enough!" Donna didn't care about the toy maker and just caught the last ball and shouted.

"Ah~Donna Noble, I want to know which of you has more courage."

"You are the toymaker, aren't you?" Donna continued to question.

Hearing Donna's questioning tone, the toymaker was not angry, but smiled. However, the Doctor knew that such a toymaker was the most terrifying. He quickly whispered, "Go back to the TARDIS!"

"what?"

"Go back to the TARDIS!" the Doctor repeated again, the first time he asked Donna to do so.

Kodona had no idea how terrifying the Toymaker was. At this time, the Toymaker set his sights on Li Qingyue, and Li Qingyue suddenly felt the breath of death completely enveloping him. Even though he had a subhuman physique, he felt that he was doomed to die, so he quickly took out the temporary recruitment card.

The toymaker felt the threat from this card, which was somewhat novel. He knew that since he was born, there had never been anything that could make him feel scared, threatened or even dead, but this small card in front of him could do that.

"Actually, I'm very curious, who is more powerful between you and the fraudster?" Li Qingyue asked.

"Trickster? Oh, he's just a coward." The toymaker said with a smile.

"Okay, everyone. Think about it. If ball is the first game in history, then what is the second one? Hide and seek!" The toymaker suddenly pulled the red cloth on both sides. When the Doctor rushed in, the toymaker was gone, leaving only a door.

The Doctor opened the door without any hesitation, and Li Qingyue and Donna walked in. It was only after the door closed that the Doctor realized what was going on.

"Why did you follow me? Didn't I tell you to go back to the TARDIS?" the Doctor said in panic, opening the door. However, behind the door was no longer the inside of the toy store, but a long corridor with doors on both sides.

"This place is bigger than a toy store. Don't tell me he has his own TARDIS?" Donna asked in surprise.

"Donna, you are wrong. The Toymaker doesn't care about the TARDIS, or even all the technology. Remember what the Doctor said, the Toymaker is almost omnipotent. This is just one of his tricks, but just one trick is enough to trap us here." Li Qingyue said helplessly.

The three of them had no choice but to open door after door. During this time, the Doctor even wanted to give up, but with Donna's persuasion, the Doctor cheered up and even rekindled his fighting spirit.

"Well, how about this, let's split up. I think only if we separate, we will have a chance of making a breakthrough. After all, isn't this what the toy maker wants?" Li Qingyue suggested.

The Doctor looked at Donna. After all, if they were separated, Donna might be in danger, and he could not tolerate anything happening to Donna.

But Donna seemed to see the Doctor's worry, so she smiled, opened the door at the side and walked in, not giving the Doctor any time to react. When the Doctor chased after her, he found that Donna was gone. Li Qingyue and the Doctor had no choice but to act separately.
