Extraordinary Puppet Master

Elena also said with a scared look at this time: "Fortunately you arrived in time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to support it for long."

Holden said with a gentle face: "No, thanks to classmate Carlin who stopped my carriage in time."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the altar in the center of the square and said with a solemn expression: "This kind of ritual altar is not something that ordinary wild supernatural beings can decorate. It seems that there may be a cult group in Wayne City that has been hiding under our noses. !”

Elena's face became serious when she heard this: "You are right. It is impossible to make such an arrangement without certain financial resources. The ritual of summoning the faceless men from the spirit world is very rare. Those who believe in it fanatically" Cultists who are 'keepers' and 'eaters' have the best chance."

Carlin, who was watching, remembered the term "Faceless Man" in his mind, but what he was most concerned about now was not the issue of this altar, but another imminent issue.

"How do we get out next?"

After listening to Karin's words, Elena said directly: "We just need to wait."

Before Carlin could show his confused expression, Holden took the initiative to explain to him: “Based on the ritual level and danger level of my previous exploration of divination, this place should be not far from the clinic, no more than twenty meters.

As a wide confined space, it is likely to be located underground. We know nothing about the layout here. If we act rashly, we may touch unknown mechanisms or magic circles, causing some dangers. "

Elena also explained: "Just let Kahn and the others worry about finding traps and breaking barriers. Compared with our strength, he can easily deal with sudden threats."

After listening to the two explanations, Karin nodded to show that he understood.

After the crisis passed, the four of them relaxed for a while. Carlin asked curiously: "Is the monster just now called the Faceless Man? Do you seem to know it?"

“The Faceless Ones are the original state of many evil creatures of flesh and blood.

After death, the soul will return to the Si Chen representing January - the evening bell and the Si Chen of February - during the day. If exposed to the former, it will degenerate into an evil spirit, and if exposed to the latter, it will be baptized by light and enter the mortal world to become a new life. .

There is a chance that the flesh and blood of the deceased will transform into a faceless person under the influence of Si Chen, the mother of mothers, who represents reproduction and rebirth. The missing facial features represent the ignorance after rebirth.

After all faceless people are born, they will be summoned by Sichen, the breeder, who represents growth, to grow in their territory in the spiritual world.

Newly born contact-level faceless men generally have the same abilities as before, and can also emit soul-affecting screams.

At the trainee level, all faceless men are uniformly transformed into the image of a faceless swordsman with red skin and a big sword.

After growing to the professional level, their facial features will also become clearer, and they will grow into different types of evil objects. "

After listening to the introduction of the Faceless Men, Carlin asked curiously: "So can they be regarded as the breeder's dependents?"

Elena said with a strange expression: "No, it's more like food than family members."

"Whose food?"

Hearing Carlin's question, Miss One-Ear suddenly said with a gloomy expression: "It's food for all of us!"

A chill rose in Karin's heart, and he was startled by Elena's sudden change in expression.

"What do you mean food for all of us?!"

After Holden saw Carlin's expression, he smiled and said: "Hahaha, Teacher Elena still likes to tease her students so much.

However, what she said is correct to a certain extent, because after the naturally grown faceless evil beings are killed, the spirituality contained in the corpse is relatively pure.

Flesh, flesh, bones, and souls are all excellent extraordinary resources, and there is no need to spend much effort to purify them. "

"Oh, so that's what you mean by food." Carlin suddenly realized.

"Yes, do you remember the Geese you killed before?

The evil thing he transformed after his death was not a faceless man, but another kind of evil thing - a ghoul. The spiritual pollution in the corpse was relatively serious, and it took a lot of effort to process it, so selling it to Drake was only worth it. 50 gold pounds. "

"Why did Mother Mother and the Breeders cultivate such a strange evil creature as the Faceless Man? It seems to be to provide resources to us extraordinary beings in the mortal world." Carlin suddenly felt very strange.

Elena shrugged and said: "It's so inexplicable. Only they themselves know what the twelve Si Chens are thinking. Even if things involving them are absurd, they are natural."

After hearing this, Carlin stopped going into details.

And Elena said to Holden at this time: "Thank you very much this time. I want the body of the Faceless Man. Can you give me a price?"

Carlin on the side did not interrupt. Elena's rescue tonight was all thanks to Holden and the Chinese-faced coachman, and he and Elena would not share the six faceless swordsman corpses as trophies.

As for what to do with the altar in the end, it is a matter between the Ranger Association and the Ace family, not the four of them.

Holden said: "Teacher, you can't say that. Without you attracting the attention of all the faceless swordsmen, and without the news about classmate Carlin, we wouldn't be able to kill these guys easily. You should get two."

"Then we're welcome," Elena didn't refuse after hearing this, and walked towards the corpse of a faceless man she had killed before, saying as she walked, "Karin, come here!"

After hearing this, Carlin also followed the other party. When he passed by the body of a faceless swordsman that Holden had killed, a vague sense of crisis emerged in his heart.

This feeling made him pause for a moment, but the sense of crisis immediately disappeared, as if it was an illusion.

Although he felt strange in his heart, Karin just wrote it down but did not say anything, and continued to follow Elena calmly.

Looking at the faceless swordsman on the ground with two bullet holes in his head, he sighed in his heart that no matter how good his martial arts skills are, he is still afraid of bullets.

Although he did not have an intuitive impression of the strength of the Faceless Swordsman, he also knew that it would not be a big problem for the opponent to kill him, a rookie.

But Elena killed the opponent with two headshots.

Carlin even guessed that if the opponent's revolver had only six bullets and no chance to reload quickly after shooting, Miss One-Ear might have been able to take down six Faceless Swordsmen alone.

At this time Elena put on a pair of rubber gloves and took out a silver knife that looked very clean and held it in her hand.

Then she skillfully opened the faceless man's chest, exposing his entire chest.

Carlin, on the other hand, admired the organs in the Faceless Swordsman's body without changing his expression. He even had the intention to observe this organ system that was different from humans.

Unlike humans, the faceless swordsman's chest is almost entirely filled with a red spongy muscle tissue, and no blood flows out.

Moreover, under the spiritual vision, the spiritual light of the Faceless Swordsman's corpse is very pure and orderly. No wonder Elena used food as a metaphor before.

Elena, on the other hand, explained to Carlin while cutting through the cavernous tissue.

"This special muscle has good strength and resistance to blows, and has certain spiritual resistance and conductivity. It can be used to make gloves, leather armor, backpacks and other equipment.

Of course, some people use it as an ingredient. Although I have never eaten it, I have heard that it is very good in terms of nutrition and taste.”

Carlin, who had watched the dissection without changing his expression, suddenly felt a little nauseous after hearing that red muscles could be used as food. After all, the faceless swordsmen were all humanoid creatures, and he couldn't eat it anyway.

"Well, I may not be able to bear it anymore."

After Elena cut open the layers of muscle tissue, a palm-sized red crystal was revealed. She cut off the muscle tissue connected to the crystal and took out the crystal and handed it to Karin.

"This can be regarded as the heart of the Faceless Man. If you hold it in your hand, you can directly absorb the spiritual energy to replenish your own consumption. It is also a good potion material. Restoration and growth potions are used as the main material."

Karin took it in his hand and looked at it before returning it to Elena.

Then Elena aimed at the head and cut open the faceless swordsman's head.

Miraculously, when the silver knife touched the hard skull, it cut open the skull as easily as cutting tofu.

‘Is this an extraordinary item specially used for dissecting corpses? ’
