Chapter 261 Hundreds of Square Meters of Real Estate

Chen Ye's mind moved, and he walked to the front of the house, summoned the [Scorching Sun Prayer Scroll], and instantly blasted the door open with the sacred fire!

I saw a series of human figures being hung on the beams of the house by puppet lines, like drying sausages.

They closed their eyes, breathed weakly, and trembled from time to time, entering a nightmare in a strange way.

Under them, there was a strange puppet lying...

The puppet had a strange look, and its eyes suddenly fell on Chen Ye, staring at him, with bloodshot eyes full of resentment.

The next second.

The figure hanging above the puppet suddenly began to cry loudly.

Their crying seemed to be particularly contagious.

When the crying sounded, Chen Ye suddenly felt that he could not help but have a desire to cry loudly in his heart.

However, when he had this desire, he suddenly found that his control over his body suddenly decreased. The joints of his body bones, like rusty mechanical parts, began to become stiff and jerky, losing their former flexibility, becoming extremely stuck and difficult to control.

Using his spiritual power, Chen Ye took a deep breath and immediately restrained this desire.

"No!"

"You must not be assimilated by the crying..."

"If you cry along, you will be controlled by these puppets and lose the initiative..."

Just concentrating his mind, relying on the majestic spiritual power like the ocean, Chen Ye immediately restrained the desire to cry, holding the [Sealing Scroll] in his hand, ready to seal these puppets together.

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, the puppets suddenly burst open.

The outline of the human figure hanging above, and the privacy connected to the top of the head, suddenly cracked and fell down.

The dark veins turned into blooming thorn flowers, crawling all over the faces of these figures.

They raised their heads, their eyes were filled with bloodshot, their eyes were filled with madness and confusion, holding umbrellas, crutches, chef knives and other knives, surrounding Chen Ye, emitting a strong evil spirit.

However, this evil spirit was only slightly aggressive.

But in the form of the image of luck, the moment it approached Chen Ye's body, it could not penetrate at all.

Chen Ye smiled slightly and said, "Do you think that with this puppet-like ability to be controlled, you can pose any threat to me?"

As soon as the voice fell, these controlled figures immediately chopped with knives like crazy.

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and saw these figures, who were connected to dark and deep chains around their bodies, and were obviously controlled.

Of course.

This level of control cannot even play the characteristics, so it is naturally difficult to threaten Chen Ye at all.

Just use the professional identity of the combat system to fight quickly.

Bang! Bang!

Open [Execution Form]!

Chen Ye's two hands transformed into [Devil's Scissors] that can cut everything.

In midair, the dark black knife light shone with mysterious luster and flashed to both sides.

The strange veins were cut off instantly.

Along with the lines that controlled these players, they were all cut off.

These figures suddenly lost their balance, collapsed to the ground, and lost their ability to move.

When these figures fell to the ground, the black mist chains around them suddenly broke apart, like puppets with broken strings.

The black mist gradually dissipated, and the image of luck returned to nothingness, without the sky blue and dark yellow colors.

It means that these players are dead.

Although they can still retain a weak self-awareness when they are controlled, they will die immediately when the control chain is released.

"Is it just a one-time prop?" Chen Ye frowned slightly.

He originally wanted to wait for these players to recover, perhaps he could ask for some valuable information, but he didn't expect that cutting off the connection would only make them face the end of the game and death earlier.

Just then...

Crack! Crack! Several cracking sounds came from the nearby houses, and the entire ground became more and more unstable.

Rumble! ! !

The surrounding concrete walls suddenly burst open, and the entire house collapsed, trying to bury the place.

Chen Ye was agile and immediately used the characteristics of [Wanderer Boots] to take a ten-meter step. In just a few blinks, he left the collapsing house behind.

The rubble collapsed and the dust flew.

In the blink of an eye, the house turned into dust.

However, a new golden contract book floated in front of Chen Ye.

"Spend one million copper coins to buy a hundred square meters of real estate?"

Chen Ye's eyes fell on the golden contract book, and his expression moved slightly.

Unexpectedly... relying on the characteristics of [Adapting to the Wind], combined with the Eye of Luck, I was able to find the source of the puppet story, and the speed of brushing real estate was quite fast.

It didn't take long before I found a real estate with a radius of 100 meters.

At the price of 10,000 copper coins per square meter, this store has a total of 100 square meters, and it takes a sky-high price of 1 million copper coins to unlock it.

Chen Ye just put the contract into the Mountain and River Volume, looking at the price on it, he could only secretly smack his lips:

"The price of this real estate is too expensive, it actually requires 1 million copper coins. It seems that not all real estate can be purchased at a bargain price of 200,000 copper coins."

"Wait... 200,000 copper coins, it doesn't seem to be a bargain price. Most players probably don't have so much savings now."

“I don’t know what kind of special items will be rewarded in the stage mission of [Big Real Estate Owner], but the difficulty is so high..."

“Let’s leave the land deed in this area until we can unlock it later.”

Chen Ye took back the contract and did not unlock it immediately.

Even if he has a personal asset of one million copper coins, this is not how the money is spent...

The area in front of me is located in the old city. The nearby buildings have been reduced to "abandoned shops" according to the "Research on Scarlet Letters". The flow of people is sparse. Most of the strange legends in the pedestrian street basically come from here.

Let alone at night, even in broad daylight, there won’t be too many people in the old town.

Therefore, spending one million copper coins to unlock such a piece of real estate has almost no effect except that the area is a bit larger, and it is difficult to have any commercial value.

Shops like restaurants are most suitable to be opened in places with a large flow of people. Even if the taste is not good and it is a one-time business, with the support of traffic, there will always be customers and revenue.

The principle that the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley does not work in the strange era.

After all, in this world, if you really go to a place with "deep alleys", you may not be greeted by fine wine, but strange stories that kill people.

Nowadays, players have learned a lot and don’t go anywhere where there is a lot of weird talk.

Opening a restaurant in this place is a waste of time and may bring you a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Chen Ye just chose to stay with this golden land deed and did not sign the contract immediately.

This is also considered a characteristic item.

As long as it is not used, it can be used for transfer and trading.

Maybe when you need it in the future, you can put it in the [Weird Black Market] and replace it with the products you need, and then you can exert the corresponding value.

No matter how bad it is...

By the end of the month, if you have enough savings, you can spend them all at once, exchange them for real estate, and obtain this month's stage tasks.

After putting away the real estate contract, Chen Ye locked the spreading black chains with his eyes of luck.

That must be the source of the strange stories about puppets!

Chen Ye followed these clues and walked along the roads in the old city.

On both sides of the field of vision, the old-fashioned buildings, like low-rise houses, quickly passed sideways at the speed of Chen Ye's [Wanderer's Boots].

Soon, he came to the street with spiderweb-like telephone poles scattered randomly. He turned an intersection and saw the road clearly with the help of the crimson moonlight remaining in the sky.

This is an old industrial area. Most of the shops sell hardware. The decoration style of the shops is very wild and rough. They are made of iron sheets and give off an industrial style feel.

at the end.

An ugly puppet stood guard next to the dark cave. Its empty eyes suddenly turned and landed on Chen Ye, with a strange smile on its face.

The cold evil wind blew in and became even more dangerous.

It was as if there was an invisible knife pressed against Chen Ye's back, ready to pierce him at any time.

Chen Ye frowned slightly.

To be honest, this feeling...this kind of gaze...being stared at by such a guy is not a comfortable thing.

Deep in the shop, something extremely dark was brewing, as if something was waiting for Chen Ye's arrival, playing a trick of inviting you to enter the urn. As long as you enter, you will encounter great danger.

Of course Chen Ye would not go in casually. He came here just to confirm the situation.

Anyway, I have the Eye of Luck, so if I encounter danger, I will leave early.

However, the current signs of luck are mainly concentrated in the depths of the store, dominated by dark black mist, as if something is slowly being born inside...

But Chen Ye is not too afraid. If there is something evil that will emerge from it, it will take time to settle.

He came here this time just to check the seriousness of the matter.

Chen Ye rubbed his chin and combined his experiences along the way today with the luck in the puppet factory to analyze:

"From the current point of view, the source of danger brewing in this store cannot be underestimated, but it is not to the point where it cannot be dealt with."

"These puppets... seem to rely on controlling players and absorbing their personal consciousness as the source of factory operation."

"After all, the original way of movement of these puppets relies on the neural filaments of the [Puppet Master]'s control characteristics, but the existence behind this ghost story obviously does not have such characteristics."

"If you want to control these puppets, you have to use other methods."

"Recently, ghost stories about puppets have appeared frequently in the pedestrian street, as well as a series of incidents that happened to the girl at the insomnia rescue center. I am afraid that it is this ghost story. In order to control the puppets, the puppets are used as a pollution medium, causing players who come into contact with the puppets to be affected. Mental pollution..."

"This seems to be related to the mental control of the [spiritual world] sequence..."

"The controlled player's consciousness will run inside the puppet and be used as consciousness energy to control the puppet's physical activities and serve as free labor for the factory."

Realizing this, Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and had a different judgment on this incident.

In addition to these shops affected by strange rumors...

I am afraid……

In this pedestrian street, there are many players who are accidentally controlled by puppets, gathered in these abandoned houses, hanging from the ceiling like sausages, always burning self-awareness as fuel for factory operations.

"If I can find and destroy all the houses that gather sleeping players like I did today, wouldn't it be possible to gradually put away the old city?" Chen Ye's eyes lit up slightly, as if he found out. A path that can not only gain [real estate majors], but also increase the income from this month's asset list.

At present, the problem in the old city is that most of the shops and houses are in an abandoned state. Although there are players living around, the number is very small, and the activity level is very low. Even the neighbors are probably very worried. It's hard to find anyone living nearby.

But if Chen Ye takes down the entire old city and develops it into a scale similar to a pedestrian street, then player traffic will inevitably increase.

As the biggest local gangster in the old city, wouldn't he be able to use the huge real estate to build an economy and use it as a bargaining chip to fight against Hua Shao, who is second on the list, and Shenli Yinghua, who is first on the list?

The answer to this month’s asset rise list has actually been written on the faces of Hua Shao and many other players at the top of the list.

In addition to Hua Shao, those who can make it to the list include An Ye, Tang Wu and others...

They all have huge resources in their hands and can make replacements to continuously accumulate rising assets for themselves.

Chen Ye felt that he also needed to consider this aspect.

At present, the old city that appears in front of us, combined with the characteristics of Puppet Ghost Story, obviously, there is an opportunity!

at this time……

Chen Ye's mind moved slightly, and his eyes fell on the puppet factory.

At this moment, he saw hideous chains spreading like spider webs throughout the pedestrian street.

"These chains...should correspond to the shops affected by the puppet tales?"

Chen Ye's mind moved. The moment he saw these signs of luck, he immediately made a judgment and got a glimpse of the clues.

His eyes brightened slightly, and he realized that there was obviously an opportunity to be found inside.

"Since these shops correspond to real estate, as long as they are marked down, there will be opportunities."

Thinking of this, Chen Ye immediately connected the black mist chain he saw to the end position, and marked it with a special symbol on the [Wanderer Map].

Wait until the next time it gets dark...

When I arrived at the pedestrian street again, I went to paint these properties.

It was almost dawn, and Chen Ye planned to make a quick trip to Xijiang to go fishing there.

In addition to the stage mission of [Big Real Estate Owner], you also need to fish.

Not only will this increase your assets, but you will also have the opportunity to obtain special items!

soon.

Chen Ye's figure appeared on the dock next to the Xijiang River.
