Chapter 255 Puppet Stories

"puppet?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Miss Puppet.

Just after we finished talking about puppets, a commission happened to come in?

Isn't this too coincidental?

Bai Chen spread his hands and smiled, saying: "Let me just say... this restaurant will turn into an office sooner or later!"

At this moment, Chen Ye's mind moved, he opened the Eye of Luck, and observed the aura of luck on the client's body.

Compared with before, the bloody light was more intense, surrounded by a dark, deep luster, filled with fragmented traces, as if it was dragging the dreamer into a nightmare from which he would never wake up...

The situation seems to be getting more serious!

Recently, there have been many more victims reacting to the "puppet incident" on the forum.

Chen Ye frowned and pondered for a moment, gradually connecting the puppet incident with the Head Fruit that was popular throughout the city.

In fact, both are related to the [Art Department]...

That is to say...

Miss Puppet was attacked. It is possible that the main goal at the beginning was not to control the other party, but to break into the players and launch a sudden attack to cause chaos?

After all, Miss Puppet was just a second-turn professional at the time. It would be too fanciful to think that she could have a subversive effect on the plans of the entire player team with her second-turn profession.

It seems like...

When Miss Puppet was attacked, it is very likely that the target of the attacker was not to control the other party at the beginning, but the puppet factory!

Do they need to dissimilate this factory and turn it into a copy, thereby causing a certain impact on the pedestrian street?

As for Miss Puppet who was later controlled and launched a sudden attack on Chen Ye and others in the Bloody Building, it was just a function of subsequent excavation.

No matter how you think about it, if it is just to insert a second-level combat force into a melee, so as to enter other players' territory and conduct a sneak attack...

The risks and benefits faced are completely disproportionate.

Now that I think about it, it is obvious that there is a deeper plan behind the attack on Miss Puppet, which may be related to that factory!

"If this war is a battle between [divine authorities], then the first pedestrian street to be hit must be a battleground for military strategists, and there are still many unexplored areas about this place, hiding many mysteries... …”

Realizing this, Chen Ye first interrupted his thoughts, turned his eyes to the client in front of him, and said in a soft tone:

"You can first tell me what happened these past few days..."

The entrusted girl took a deep breath, controlled her chaotic emotions, organized some words in her mind, and then began to state:

"I've been having nightmares lately!"

"I always dream that I become a puppet, screwing screws in the factory, all day and night..."

"In that dream, I felt like there were some threads connecting my body and controlling my hands and feet..."

"Even if I realize this is a dream, I can't control it. I can only keep tightening the screws..."

"You may have a hard time imagining how terrifying this is for a [Dream Weaver]!"

"I can't activate my own characteristics, weave my dreams, and control my sleep time..."

"Every time I wake up, I find that my sleep time is far longer than normal. When it's better, I wake up in about ten hours, but in some extreme cases, I even sleep for two days and two nights... …”

"When I got up, I felt as if my whole body was not my own. My hands and feet were extremely sore, as if I had been tightening screws in a factory for so long."

Miss Puppet couldn't help but interrupt:

"The factory you are talking about has a lot of puppets on a mechanical assembly line, sliding past a huge turntable with many silver-like lines on it, connecting the various puppet components?"

"right!"

The entrusted girl nodded quickly, with a bit of surprise in her eyes. She was surprised that Miss Puppet could accurately tell her dream.

At this time, Chen Ye already had some guesses in his mind, but he looked at [Dream Weaver] and said in a deep voice:

"Since you have been stuck in a nightmare around here, why don't you consider changing places and abandoning the pedestrian street?"

She took a deep breath, a hint of fear appeared on her face, and said in a trembling tone:

"That's exactly what I'm going to say..."

"Ever since I noticed that something was very wrong in this neighborhood, I realized that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so I chose to move out. I left the pedestrian street temporarily and chose to rest in an old mansion on Mink Street for a while."

"A friend lived in this mansion and recommended it. Apart from being a little abandoned, there is basically nothing wrong with it. It can be used as a shelter from wind and rain and a temporary place to settle down."

"I moved into the mansion and stayed there for a day, and my dreams that night finally returned to normal!"

"Just when I thought it was over..."

"I never expected that last night, when I fell asleep again, I dreamed of that factory again!"

"This time, I am no longer the puppet that screws the screws, but I am divided into countless components and placed everywhere..."

"I felt as if my consciousness had been split into countless fragments. I could see my own components from all directions, and I also saw puppets with weird shapes, grinning at me with a terrifying smile!"

"That time, I was really frightened and woke up!"

"When I opened my eyes again, I found that I was actually back in the house on the pedestrian street..."

At this point, the pupils of [Dream Weaver] shrank and enlarged violently, as if she had seen something very scary.

"When I just opened my eyes, I suddenly found the face of a puppet lying on the windowsill!"

"The puppet's facial features were bleeding!"

"Its appearance is exactly the same as the puppet I turned into in my dream!"

After saying the last sentence, [Dream Weaver] almost collapsed on the back of the chair, as if she had exhausted all her energy. She felt that the scenery in front of her was about to be completely blurred, and her consciousness was about to dissipate at any time, and she completely fainted.

Until a melodious suona sound came from the side, her emotions were calmed down in the gradually peaceful music, she raised her head, and looked at Chen Ye with a little gratitude.

"Until now, I haven't closed my eyes again, for fear that I would fall asleep accidentally." [Dream Weaver] said with a smile and bitterness.

As a [Dream Weaver], she dared not sleep...

I am afraid that only she herself knows how it feels.

Chen Ye glanced at the commissioned girl and found that she was in a very bad mental state. After a moment of silence, he said to Chen Xi:

"How about this...you go to the Lieyang Church to take shelter for the time being."

"If you are in another place, you will be suddenly transferred back to the house. I don't know whether it is affected by the characteristics or physically transferred in the dream."

"Although I don't know whether the Lieyang Church can protect your safety, it is still safer to arrive there."

The commissioned girl opened her eyes wide, a little bit unable to believe her ears:

"Lieyang Church? It seems that the sacred place cannot be entered casually, right? Can I go there?"

"Normally, it is indeed not possible." Chen Ye smiled, "By chance...there is a party member here today who happens to have some relationship with the church. Say hello and let you stay there for one night. It should be no problem."

Chen Xi smiled and did not refuse. She said gently:

"Anyway, there are still many beds in the public lounge. One more is not too much. I am afraid that there will be another nun in the church while I am sleeping."

Miss Puppet blushed when she heard this.

"Thank you... You are really a group of good people..." The girl's nose was sour, and the sense of crisis that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time seemed to be finally released, turning into pearl-like tears, pouring down from both sides of her cheeks uncontrollably.

During this period, she sought help from many "friends", but only got some constructive suggestions, but no one was willing to take the initiative to find her and provide truly valuable help. Instead, they were afraid that the curse might spread to themselves, so they chose to delay replying to messages, deliberately avoid, or ignore for a long time.

Among them, it also includes the best friend who once lived in the same dormitory during college and had a very good relationship.

In this world full of weirdness, everyone can hardly protect themselves. It's good enough to survive. Who has the heart to care about other people's affairs?

Once something happens, in order to prevent the disaster from spreading to oneself, you can't hide...

"I can do a divination for you."

Chen Ye pondered for a moment, and then took out the [Lucky Dice].

Not only to know the future fortune of the girl who commissioned...

It's rare to catch a "divination client", so naturally you have to brush up on the tasks of this month's stage.

Everyone's eyes fell on the dice, and their eyes moved slightly, all realizing that Chen Ye might have also unlocked the characteristics related to [Destiny].

Mizi on the side sighed: "Alas, it's really difficult to find a job these days, even the boss is competing with the employees for work."

But she remembered that she used to do the work of three employees in the coffee shop, and suddenly felt that such a salted fish life seemed not bad.

"Okay!"

The commissioned girl nodded.

The next second.

Chen Ye tossed the dice in his hand.

With a "click", the dice fell on the composite wooden floor, making a crisp sound.

The points paused for a moment at the spiritual number "2", and then fell back to "1".

Chen Ye looked at the commissioned girl with a slightly heavy look, and said in a deep voice:

"Your future fortune may not be very good, it's best to stay in the Lieyang Church. If the incident is not over, don't come out casually!"

The other party saw the points on the dice and realized this, and nodded quickly.

Soon, the commissioned girl returned to the Lieyang Church with the support of Chenxi to rest.

This is actually a test...

If that characteristic can bypass the Lieyang Church and bring the commissioned girl back to the pedestrian street again...

That means the existence behind this incident is not the level of Chen Ye and others, and they can't afford to offend.

Although the current "Lord of the Lieyang" is likely to be affected by the [Black Sun], the church is still operating normally, and many contracts in the name of "Lieyang" can still take effect, which means that the "Lord of the Lieyang" can still drive the [Divine Authority] for the time being, and the situation has not reached the worst.

After Chenxi left...

Although Tang Wu was interested in following up, the Manufacturing Association still had many matters to deal with, so he had to go back and take care of them. He could only say goodbye and leave with regret.

Bai Chen also patted his butt and stood up from his seat, his face leisurely said:

"If there are any incidents that need to be investigated, you can entrust me at any time. Or if there is an entrustment incident here, and you have suitable remuneration, you can also ask me to serve. The price is negotiable. The main thing is that the incident is interesting."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Chen's figure merged into the black shadow and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Mizi, who looked like an old god, was obviously not interested in these things. Instead, he took the initiative to get up and go to the kitchen to help Wang Jing with the large order of one thousand grilled chicken wings.

Miss Puppet chose to stay, intending to follow up on the development of subsequent events.

She looked up at Chen Ye and asked with a slightly worried look: "Where should we start the investigation now? Is there any danger?"

Judging from the current intelligence, what happened to [Dream Weaver] was not a dream at all!

The place she dreamed about was Miss Puppet's original factory!

But why do you dream about that place? Why do I still inexplicably return to the original "Insomnia Treatment Center" after leaving the pedestrian street?

When I woke up, I happened to see the puppet in my dream at the window. Its facial features were bleeding and its appearance was terrifying, as if it was a threat!

Chen Ye pondered for a moment and connected all the information in his mind. He gradually came to a conclusion and slowly analyzed:

"Rather than saying it is a dream, it is better to use the form of a dream to pull the consciousness of the [Dream Weaver] into the body of the puppet, using her consciousness as the driving force of the puppet to provide free labor for the factory."

"What is the purpose of doing this?" Miss Puppet looked puzzled.

"That's hard to say!" Chen Ye sneered, "Some rituals require the creation of a large number of dead bodies in order to meet certain evil conditions. There may be various tedious and twisted steps in the process, and ultimately achieve the effect of destroying the entire city. ”

Miss Puppet immediately thought of the thousands of players who were tricked and killed in the [Dragon God Festival], and she realized something in her heart and fell into silence.

"Boss, what should you do next?" Wang Jing asked while making grilled chicken wings and listening to Chen Ye and the puppet lady talking outside. He couldn't restrain his curiosity.

Although he knew that Chen Ye was very powerful, this incident did sound a bit strange.

“Of course I’ll go there first and have a look.”

Chen Ye clapped his hands, stood up, and smiled calmly:

"If you want to teleport our client back from such a far away place, you must have [space system] characteristics."

"But this group of puppets already has the characteristics of [Art Department] and [Control Department]. It is obviously unlikely that there is a [Space Department]..."

In fact, there was one thing Chen Ye didn't say.

When the dice paused to "2", it is very likely that there was a shadow of [Spirit Realm] behind this incident. This already has three characteristics in it. If it also includes [Space System] and reaches the fourth-turn stage, then It cannot be solved by everyone.

The white-clothed bishop whose rank four has already corresponded to the Burning Sun Church is a high-level combat force. He is just a group of puppets and does not have such terrifying means.

therefore……

The reason why the entrusted girl woke up and found that she suddenly returned to the "Insomnia Treatment Center" may have something to do with that house!

Chen Ye plans to go there and conduct a formal investigation.

"Then shall we leave now?"

Miss Puppet took a look at the sky. It was dusk at this time, and wondered if she should complete the investigation before dark.

"No!"

Chen Ye shook his head and said:

"We'll go out to investigate when it gets dark."
