Chapter 256 Insomnia Rescue Center
The night sky was clear, and the crimson moonlight shone quietly through the windows of the shops on the pedestrian street and reflected on the smooth pavement of the pedestrian street. Suddenly, the entire street was filled with a hazy blood color, as if dyed with a layer of blood-colored gauze.
Most of the shops on both sides have closed their doors. When night falls, in the minds of most players, the world has entered a dangerous moment. The safest way is to stay in the rented real estate on the pedestrian street, protected by the domain, almost No problems will arise.
But at this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came faintly from the crimson-filled street.
The players walking here are none other than Chen Ye and Miss Puppet, including Wang Jing and Shen Meng.
"Boss, why do we need to operate at night?"
"It feels eerie..."
"Wouldn't it be safer to come here during the day?"
Wang Jing shivered and walked on the street illuminated by the crimson moonlight. His body felt inexplicably cold, as if there were some ghosts around him, sometimes passing through his body, bringing a cold feeling that did not belong to this world.
"The victim's professional identity is [Dream Weaver]. If you think about it, at night, he cannot display his characteristics. He often dreams that he appears in the body of a puppet, and even shows symptoms of being suspected of being controlled... …”
"So, do you think these things will come out during the day?"
"Isn't it more likely to find the source of the problem if we act at night?"
Wang Jing was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully with his mind. It seemed that this was really the case.
In fact...
There was one thing Chen Ye didn't say...
The reason why he chose to act during the day and because he detected information related to the [Black Sun] was that he knew that the city of Destiny during the day might not be as safe as the players imagined.
In the early stage, all players only have initial professions. Most of the professions are still in the first level and are still very weak. Any aboriginal who encounters them may be killed...
Daytime, which is full of threats in the eyes of the indigenous people, has instead become a refuge for players.
But now, the time has come to the second month, and most of the players who can survive have the means to save their lives and have a certain ability to resist risks.
At this time, even if you encounter aborigines, as long as you follow the rules, actively avoid beings that cannot be contacted, abide by your duties, and formulate an action plan according to the role-playing code, there will generally be no problems.
Therefore, during this time period, it is more appropriate to integrate into the aborigines of the City of Destiny.
at this time……
Chen Ye and others have arrived at the door of the "Insomnia Treatment Center".
At this moment, scarlet traces wrapped around the side of the shop, growing like vines, gradually seeming to cover the entire shop.
Boom!
Boom!
A heartbeat sound suddenly came from inside the store.
The sound was like a knock on the door, or like the heart of some large creature, beating slowly...
It seemed as if something was about to "grow" out from inside.
"What is this sound?"
When Wang Jing heard the unusual noise, his mood sank slightly, and he felt uneasy for no reason.
Chen Ye frowned slightly and checked with the Eye of Luck, and found a thick blood light mixed with ink traces, covering the entire store.
The ink-colored traces of luck are exactly the same as the pollution in the Xijiang River!
"Is it really related to the characteristics of pollution..."
Chen Ye's eyes moved slightly and he immediately made a judgment in his heart.
It can even be traced back to the emergence of "Pollution Paradise"...
I'm afraid that when the pollution from the Xijiang River turns into a flood and spreads to the entire pedestrian street, some evil existence will have been born when it merges with the original characteristics of this place.
Combined with the attack on Miss Puppet, is it also part of the planning for this pollution incident?
It seems that after the fusion of the characteristics related to [Pollution], these puppets have even more sinister characteristics!
But I'm afraid the person behind the plan didn't expect that after the Lieyang Church cooperated with that guy Hua Shao, they directly chose to drop a Holy Light Bomb, blowing up almost the entire pollution paradise.
Thinking about it this way...
Spending less money still makes a lot of contributions!
No wonder he also has a golden star on his body. It seems that rich people have to bear the destiny of rich people and do earth-shattering things.
These puppets are now attacking the tenants more. After clearing out the residents, they can slowly activate the [Parasite Land Deed] feature to take back the property purified by the Holy Light Bomb.
"I see……"
"One of the main purposes of these puppets appearing here is obviously to deal with the residents and drive them out of the property..."
"Thereby creating conditions for the assimilation of real estate!"
"Although the Holy Light Bomb has almost eliminated the [Pollution] characteristic of the entire paradise, there will definitely still be a part of it that is integrated with certain other characteristics to avoid the damage of the Holy Light Bomb in a special way, so it can Stay here and cause harm to others.”
"Puppets, as objects with the characteristics of [Manipulation System] and [Art System], can provide these parasites with a lifeless but very useful body."
"After all, the puppet's simulated human body structure can move freely like real hands and feet under the control of nerve lines."
"The life style of those parasites that can be assimilated into nerve filaments is almost perfectly adapted to puppets, providing a moving body."
"Most of the strange stories about puppets in the forum before came from this!"
Thinking of this, Chen Ye immediately understood the essence of "Puppet Strange Stories"...
"Be careful!"
Just then, Miss Puppet suddenly exclaimed beside him.
I saw blood-colored threads suddenly entangled from the road surface reflecting thick blood light under my feet and the inside of the store.
The deadly threads have extremely strong cutting ability, forming a net of heaven and earth, killing from all directions!
Bang!
Bang!
Chen Ye's left and right hands burst open and turned into scissors.
At that critical moment, he did not hesitate to activate the execution form of [Demon Executioner]!
The cold knife light passed on both sides.
In mid-air, the deadly blood threads were cut off by the knife light at the moment they were about to attack, and turned into catkin-like lines, floating down.
This attack was resolved!
Miss Puppet heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at the two scissors in Chen Ye's hand, and could not help but feel fear from instinct.
She felt that this pair of scissors... seemed to be her nemesis!
The blood-colored silk thread that just attacked was actually very similar to the silver thread that Miss Puppet used to control the puppet.
They are all tissue organs derived from their own nerve organs, and have non-human characteristics.
These silver threads far exceed the scope of biology and have extremely strong cutting lines. Whether it is toughness, sharpness, or cutting force... it can almost be compared with nano-filaments. As a [Puppet Master], in addition to the puppets she made, this is also an important means for her to fight.
But the two scissors in Chen Ye's hand can easily cut these blood-colored threads!
That means that her silver thread is likely to be easily cut by the other party.
Silver thread, as the nerve organ of the [Puppet Master], is not only the main means of controlling the puppet, but also the biggest basic reliance for her to fight.
But if the scissors in Chen Ye's hand can easily cut the silver thread, it means that in actual combat, the opponent can easily cut through from the battlefield flank, disconnect himself from the puppet, and then enter close combat.
These silver threads are not external objects, but their own nerve organs. The moment they are cut, it is very painful!
If they fall into close combat, it means that the [Puppet Master] will use his own flesh and blood to fight Chen Ye who is slashing with two kitchen knives. It is easy to imagine which one is better.
Miss Puppet took a deep breath. She originally thought that Chen Ye was a cook and a suona player. Most of the points added to his identity and profession seemed to be related to support, but she didn't expect that the combat characteristics he showed at the beginning completely crushed her.
The leader of the list is well-deserved!
"Be careful!"
"This thing has a strong diffusion ability..."
"Not only in the store, but also in the area under our feet, it has now become part of the enemy's territory!"
Chen Ye reminded in a deep voice.
Hearing this, everyone's face changed slightly.
They never expected that they would fall into the opponent's territory before they could go in to investigate!
All players who have made it to this point know that fighting in the enemy's territory will often put them in an extremely unfavorable passive situation.
After all, this is the opponent's territory!
Under many restrictions, they also have to face heavy sieges and attacks from all directions. Even a profession of a higher level can easily be forced to fall into a disadvantage.
In the darkness...
Chen Ye's pupil of luck reflected a colorful ripple, locking onto the interior of the store, trying to determine the source of danger with the image of luck.
"This property has not been completely polluted and assimilated..."
"Although it can launch an attack, it cannot use the rules to launch an attack for the time being when the property rules are not complete. Instead, it is a certain existence that uses its mind and the property as an amplifier of its characteristics to strengthen its offensive means."
"This enemy is inside the property!"
"If it can be found and completely destroyed, then the source of this property that is being polluted can be destroyed."
Realizing this, Chen Ye immediately locked his eyes on the inside of the store, carefully observing the many signs of luck gathered inside, and finding the differences in the messy blood, ink, and the gushing black mist and gray air.
Suddenly...
Chen Ye found an object with a black human outline in the deepest corner of the store, placed on the ground, only about the size of a palm, like a doll toy that was knocked over by a mischievous child.
"Found you!"
Chen Ye's eyes moved, and he immediately locked on the doll outline. Two execution-shaped scissors were horizontally placed on the left and right, ready to charge into the store...
The next second.
The puppet in the depths seemed to be aware of the crisis, and the whole body began to tremble.
Accompanied by the strange black water flow, it gradually covered the entire store.
Gurgle! Gurgle!
Huge bubbles appeared on the surface of the store covered by the ink-colored water flow.
Bang!
Suddenly, the bubbles burst!
Ink splashed out from the ink-colored bubbles, as if it turned into arrows flying all over the sky, flying towards the faces of Chen Ye and others like rain needles.
At that moment, Chen Ye suddenly felt as if something was hanging from his back, and he flew into the air.
Next to him...
Wang Jing and Shen Meng were also hung in the air by a silver thread.
It turned out that Miss Puppet had activated the power of the silver thread!
And she herself placed the ancient coffin behind her in front of her to block the splashing ink.
Zizizizi!
Zizizizi!
The ink splashed and hit the surface of the coffin made of holy silver, making a series of scorching sounds.
Since joining the Fiery Sun Church and being favored by the Saint, Miss Puppet's equipment has been upgraded!
Even the ancient coffin used to carry the puppet is made of holy silver, which has a part of the power of [Fiery Sun] and has a restraining effect on evil things.
After these inks, it has strong corrosiveness, but when it hits the surface of Miss Puppet's ancient coffin, it is restrained by the characteristics of [Fiery Sun] and cannot cause any effect.
With the help of Miss Puppet, everyone managed to escape this sudden attack.
Chen Ye's face changed slightly, realizing that although this piece of land had not been completely assimilated, each round of attack was very dangerous when the characteristics were amplified.
Moreover, these ink-colored water flows, if nothing unexpected happens, are the polluted water source of the Xijiang River.
If you get these things on your body...
Even if you don't die, you will lose a layer of skin!
The whole store was covered with thick blood and ink. Even if he had two [Devil Scissors] and the ink-colored court robe that could avoid the water flow, he would still face great danger if he rashly went deep into it.
He looked at the ink-colored water flow covering the surface of the store, frowned slightly, and wondered whether to take out the [Scorching Sun Scroll], activate the sacred flame, and purify those things?
Judging from the effect of the ink hitting Miss Puppet's ancient coffin, the [Scorching Sun] characteristic still has a strong restraining effect on these evil things.
However... since this place has become the property of the enemy, the purification level of the [Scorching Sun Scroll] alone may not be able to deal with the inky water flow that invaded at the same time.
He was thinking about the risks...
Is there a safer way to go deep into the store and deal with the puppet?
At this moment, Wang Jing's hand suddenly turned golden and flew to the hands of Chen Ye and others, saying:
"This is the steamed fish eye I developed. It has the ability of perspective and can help us see what is in the store."
The chef of the [Gourmet Department] can cook different delicacies and give different bonus effects.
This pure white fish eye exudes a fragrance. If swallowed, the additional bonus ability obtained is "perspective".
