Chapter 332: First Meeting with the Toy Maker

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

"Dolls are just dolls. We are looking for puppeteers, and I have a memory. I think someone is going to return after a long time." The Doctor said seriously with his arms folded.

"The Celestial Toymaker." Li Qingyue said lightly.

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

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

"The Celestial Toymaker? It can't be his. He can't enter this universe directly!" The Doctor said in horror.

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

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

Doctor sighed and spoke after a long while: "When I was very young, TARDIS was captured by the Toymaker. 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, he should not have come to this universe. It was me who shouldn't have sprinkled salt on the border of the universe."

"What is he? Human? Alien?"

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

Speaking of this, Doctor's tone actually had a trace of fear. After all, in front of the Toymaker, the knowledge and experience he was proud of were just digested. In the Toymaker's field, no, it can't 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 the horror of the Toymaker.

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

"Okay, now is not the time to discuss the strength of the Toymaker. What we need to do now is to solve the crisis of mankind first, and we will talk about the crisis of the Toymaker later, OK?" Donna interrupted everyone.

But she was right. The most important thing now is to solve this crisis first, otherwise mankind will perish before the Toymaker appears.

Then the Doctor asked them about the specific date of the appearance of Stupid Bill, and took Donna and Li Qingyue into the TARDIS, while Walter stayed to help them find other ways to remove the influence of Stupid Bill.

With the sound of the brakes of the TARDIS, the Doctor and the other two arrived at 22 Frith Street, Soho, October 2, 1925, and this was the address where Stupid Bill first appeared in front of the public.

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

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

Li Qingyue didn't speak, but stared at the toy store in front of him. The Doctor seemed to sense something and looked at the toy store. Even Donna looked at the toy store. At this time, even if she was slow to react, she knew 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.

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

"He threw it out, killed a man, and said, 'Oh, this is fun.'"

"Now everyone loves to play with balls, until the last human picks up the skull of his enemy and says, 'This is the last ball,' right?"

Every time the shopkeeper says a word, he throws a ball at the Doctor, and the Doctor can catch it accurately every time. But what scares the three people is that the shopkeeper has three balls in his hand, as if the balls he just threw came from another space. At this time, the identity of the shopkeeper is also obvious. He is the existence that makes the Doctor feel scared-the celestial toymaker.

"Enough!" Donna doesn't care about the toymaker, and directly catches the last ball and shouts.

"Ah~Donna Noble, I want to know which of you is more courageous."

"Are you the toymaker?" 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, so he quickly whispered: "Go back to the TARDIS!"

"What?"

"Go back to the TARDIS!" The Doctor repeated again. This was the first time he asked Donna to do this.

But Donna was completely unaware of the horror of the toymaker. At this time, the toymaker set his sights on Li Qingyue, and Li Qingyue immediately felt that the breath of death completely enveloped him. Even though he had a subhuman physique, he felt that he would definitely die, so he quickly took out the temporary recruitment card.

Feeling the threat brought by this card, the toymaker felt a little strange. You know, since he was born, there has never been anything that can make him feel scared, threatened or even dead, but this small card in front of him can do it.

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

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

"Okay, three of you, think about it, if the ball is the first game in history, then what is the second one? That is hide-and-seek!" As he said that, the toymaker suddenly pulled the red cloth on both sides. When the Doctor rushed in, the toymaker was gone, and only a door was left.

The Doctor opened the door without hesitation, and Li Qingyue and Donna walked in. When the door was closed, the Doctor realized it belatedly.

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

"This place is bigger than the 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 introduced? The toymaker's ability is almost omnipotent. This is just one of his tricks, but just one trick is enough to trap us here." Li Qingyue said helplessly.

There was no way the three of them could only open one door after another. During this period, the Doctor had the idea of ​​giving up, but with Donna's persuasion, the Doctor cheered up again and even rekindled his fighting spirit.

"Well, why don't we separate? I think only by separating can we have a breakthrough. After all, isn't this what the toymaker wants?" Li Qingyue suggested.

The Doctor looked at Donna. After all, if they were separated, Donna might be in danger, and he couldn't tolerate any accidents happening to her.

But Donna seemed to see the Doctor's worry, and then she smiled, opened the door 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.
