Extraordinary Puppet Master

The Gray Street where the Blood Red House is located, like St. Wayne College, is the junction of midtown and downtown in Wayne City.

In this kind of junction area, you can get in touch with residents of all walks of life in Wayne City.

Here you can see a young man become a stockbroker with his keen sense of smell, and defeat financial giants to achieve social class promotion.

Or maybe an actor or dancer is spotted by a big shot and becomes his bed partner, living in a life of luxury and debauchery ever since.

Of course, there are more people in this place who have already fallen into the abyss and disappeared.

After nightfall, there were not many pedestrians on the streets here, and occasionally one or two carriages whizzed by.

There are no shining gas street lamps, only dirty grease lamps and candles, and a few gas hanging lamps outside the buildings for lighting. Different types of light appear sparse in the lower city.

Only the countless gears in the factory are still spinning and making a whirlwind of noise.

The infrastructure in Xiacheng District cannot be said to be old, it can only be said that it is almost non-existent in many places.

The various paths and alleys are very complicated, and you will encounter dead ends as you walk.

But for Carlin, it was like going home. Not long after he entered the lower city, he got into a small alley.

The man in gray clothes following him twitched his nose and looked ugly for a while.

'What a disgusting smell! ’

Although the unusually touching smell of the lower city made me feel sick, the temptation of a philosopher's stone still made greed overcome the physical discomfort, and he followed Carlin directly into the alley.

When he thought that the Philosopher's Stone in the hands of the rookie was about to become his own, the man in gray became even more excited.

'Should I let that rookie live for a while? Forget it, let's kill him directly. The corpse of a transcendent is also excellent food for me.'

At this time, Carlin seemed not to notice anyone following him, and had no intention of getting rid of the man in gray. His walking speed was only slightly faster than usual.

This is very consistent with the scene when everyone is walking at night in Xiacheng District.

The sparsely populated alleyway pushed the man in gray's already limited patience to the limit. He decided not to play the tracking game anymore and just tore off his disguise and ran at full speed towards Carlin, who was ten meters ahead.

At this time, Carlin turned around when he heard the no longer concealed footsteps behind him, and ran away with a look of fear on his face.

The man in gray was very fast. In less than two seconds, the distance between the two sides was about four meters closer.

At this moment, Carlin turned around and disappeared into the alleyway, and the man in gray became even faster.

A pair of shiny black leather shoes stepped into the turbid puddles without scruples. Sewage splashed everywhere, and the gray windbreaker was also stained with some dirt.

But the man in gray didn't care about this at all. He just wanted the Philosopher's Stone at this time.

Stimulated by greed, the man's speed seemed to be a little faster, and he soon arrived at the corner of the alley. He believed that the rookie opposite could not escape from his grasp.

Just when the man in gray turned around and was about to continue chasing Carlin, he suddenly saw an arm raising a handful of lime and throwing it at him. He was caught off guard and his face was blurred. He couldn't help but cover his eyes and scream.

After succeeding in the sneak attack, Carlin did not give the opponent time to breathe. He saw that his right arm had already been raised, holding a revolver in his hand.

boom--

After a loud noise, the bullet accurately shot into the head of the man in gray. Carlin just watched the other man's body fall heavily to the ground. He did not release the alert but continued to aim at the man on the ground and pulled the trigger again.

Bang-bang-bang-bang-

He fired four shots in succession, two in the head and two in the heart, making sure that the opponent had no ability to make a comeback.

Carlin only fired four shots in total, and there were only two bullets left in the magazine to deal with unexpected emergencies.

At this time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the transparent soul floating out of the man's body.

The soul of the man in gray suddenly disappeared, and the next moment it appeared in the spiritual lake of the virtual kingdom of God.

Just like the situation in Westminster at that time, the man's soul underwent unknown washing and then turned into a ball of light and fell to the land.

Only now did Carlin completely let down his guard.

‘Is this the trainee-level transcendent?

Is the gun too lethal, or is he too inexperienced? ’

When he was thinking this, he was ready to touch the corpse, but at this moment, the remaining spirituality of the man in gray suddenly rioted. Carlin felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart, and quickly backed away without thinking.

'grass! The soul has been taken away, so something unexpected happens? ! ’

He quickly loaded the revolver while staring at the man's body.

I saw a violent spiritual riot on the surface of the man's corpse, and the already dark alleyway was now covered with a layer of moist gray mist, making it look even more eerie.

The man's body stood up again, his wounds healed quickly, and four bullets were squeezed out of his body.

The body gradually became rickety, the hair instantly rotted, and the skin all over the body shrank like dehydration, giving people a gelatinous feeling.

His hands grew sharp claws. After the man in gray raised his head, a ferocious face like a canine came into Karin's eyes.

After Karin looked into those withered yellow eyes, a small cry suddenly appeared in his ears, like a cry, but it was accompanied by a wave of nausea and uneasiness, and his body felt an inexplicable weakness. .

Before the dog-faced monster stood up completely, Carlin only had time to load three bullets. At this time, he stopped loading and raised his right arm to directly interrupt the opponent's "transformation".

And just before he pulled the trigger, a figure suddenly turned into the alley entrance behind the monster. A big hand wrapped in red light grabbed the monster's head and slammed it to the ground.

With a bang, the dog's head, which had not completely completed the transformation, hit the hard ground, followed by a hard step with the black sole raised high.

Bang——

In an instant, the dog's head was crushed to pieces by the kick. The next moment, the monster's body twitched violently and then became motionless.

Only then did Carlin put down his gun, looked at the visitor and thanked him: "Boss Drake, thank you for taking action in time."

The person coming was none other than Drake. Although Carlin put down the muzzle of his gun, he did not put it in the holster. Apparently, he was also wary of Drake.

'Why is it Drake, one ear? ’

Derek just smiled: "I just found out that this guy was following you, and I followed him out of curiosity to have a look. I didn't expect that you were so lucky, and his corpse turned into an evil thing."

As he spoke, he kicked the body.

"Even without me, you can solve it with at most three shots. It's still a small profit."

Carlin's expression did not change, but there were a series of small questions in his mind. He didn't quite understand what Derek meant by making a small fortune.

‘Could a distorted corpse also be regarded as a kind of extraordinary material? ’

Just when Carlin was about to say a few perfunctory words to the other party, another voice suddenly sounded in the alleyway.

"Drake, I'll sell you this body for 50 pounds, but everything on it is Carlin's trophy."
