Extraordinary Puppet Master

After hearing this, Almeida pondered for a moment and said, "Is it related to the holy blood?"

Carlin shook his head: "Put these problems aside for now. The most important thing is to leave here immediately."

Then he turned his attention to the white willow tree in the hall, with more than fifty pink blood tear crystals hanging on the branches.

After thinking about it, Carlin said: "Blood and tear crystals are probably hard currency in the Queen's District. Let's take them away together."

Almeida nodded after hearing this, and the three of them immediately began to pick the blood and tear crystals. They were very careful during the picking process and tried not to touch the white willow tree.

Soon, all the fifty blood and tear crystals were picked, and the three of them divided them into three parts and collected them separately.

Then Karin walked to the back door of the hall, and after opening the door, the scene revealed surprised both of them.

I saw that there was no longer a cliff outside, but a suspended passage, and in the distance were the same white round towers.

Kalin looked at his feet. There was only an almost imperceptible black crack between the White Blood City and the white floor of the outside world.

Seeing these two people, they immediately realized that this was where the White Blood City was originally located. It was cut in half by the King of Fighters and thrown into the ruins space. Now it is finally reunited.

Carlin looked at the dazzling suspended passages and the whole three-dimensional maze, which made people feel dizzy.

There are also those fallen ghosts wandering around unconsciously. It is obvious that this road is not easy to walk.

Almeida swallowed and said, "Karin, do we really want to go out through here?"

After hearing this, Carlin closed the door without saying a word.

"follow me."

After saying a word to the other party, he walked out of the palace and walked through the suspended corridor to the circular square in the air where the mistletoe was. Almelda and Amiya followed closely in his footsteps.

After arriving next to the mistletoe, Karin stretched out his left hand, and the blood in his body surged, and a drop of blood immediately gushes out from the tip of his index finger.

After taking Almelda's arm and dripping blood on his wrist, Karin grabbed the other's hand and said, "Remember, don't let go!"

Then he closed his eyes and his spirit began to communicate with the mistletoe.

In an instant, shining points of light appeared in his mind, forming a three-dimensional image. They were the more than twenty mistletoe plants in White Blood City.

Carlin frowned. It was different from what he thought. Except for his half of the White Blood City, there was not a single mistletoe in the Queen's District.

He could only suppress this matter in his heart for the time being. After selecting the mistletoe in the palace at the entrance to White Blood City, he began to recite the incantation.

In an instant, blue light surged and Karin, Almeda, and Amiya scattered on the spot into a patch of light.

The next moment, Karin opened his eyes and came to the entrance palace.

The three people quickly walked out of the palace, followed the white steps through the city wall arch and walked out of White Blood City.

The outside world is no longer a barren red land, but a cement floor full of cracks. Weeds are stubbornly emerging from the cracks. It seems that no one has been here for a long time.

It seems that someone has specially cleared an open space here, possibly when White Blood City was built.

More than a hundred meters further on, you will see the ruins of a steel and concrete jungle composed of dilapidated high-rise buildings, with rusted steam pipes everywhere.

The three of them walked towards the ruins without saying a word. After leaving the mistletoe purification range, a thin layer of red mist gradually appeared in the air.

Soon they plunged into the ruins. While marching forward, they were also wary of any enemies they might encounter.

There are fallen ghosts everywhere in the ruins. When they first arrive, their eyesight goes dark, so it’s better to be careful.

Along the way, there are ruins everywhere, collapsed buildings or piled boulders blocking the streets. Some obstacles can be jumped directly by the three of them, while some obstacles are directly blocked and they have to find another way.

After walking a few dozen meters, the three of them suddenly stopped. Both Carlin and Almeida looked at the fourth floor of a dilapidated building on the street.

Most of the walls on the fourth floor were damaged, and only three professional-level humanoid fallen ghosts over two meters tall were seen, each holding a strange-looking musket, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed at the three of them.

Bang-bang-bang-

The bullets glowing red rushed out of the gun barrel with tongues of flames, streaking through the air with a red trajectory and rushing towards the three of them.

Just before the hit, six rays of cold light suddenly popped out from Amiya's waist.

Three sharp and slender daggers were unsheathed, splitting several bullets in half and then piercing the air.

Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—

In the blink of an eye, blood flowers bloom.

The long dagger penetrated deeply into the heads of several fallen ghosts, spun around, then returned to the original path and penetrated their chests again before flying towards Amiya.

The bodies of the three fallen ghosts fell to the ground with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust.

Just when Karin and Almeda were about to go up to the fourth floor to check out the corpses of these fallen ghosts, something surprising happened to them.

I saw two of the fallen ghosts getting up again as if nothing was wrong. After shaking their heads, the wounds on their chests and heads began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The remaining fallen ghost didn't get up again like its two companions for some reason, and its body spontaneously combusted into a cloud of sparks. Soon the sparks were extinguished, leaving only a pile of ashes lying quietly on the ground.

After Amiya took the three returned daggers, a gleam of light flashed through the mask's goggles, and the images of the two fallen ghosts quickly enlarged in her field of vision, and she immediately noticed the clues.

Carlin said quickly: "Their hearts are not in their chests!"

Amiya's movements did not stop, and she flicked the two daggers out again, inserting them into the bodies of the two fallen ghosts before they were about to shoot again.

This time she found the target accurately, and the dagger was about to penetrate the left wrist and right ankle of the two enemies, where their hearts were.

But an accident happened again, and the two fallen ghosts seemed to feel the crisis.

In the field of vision of Karin and Almeda, while they were struggling to avoid it, their hearts began to move to other parts of their bodies.

Pfft——

When the dagger penetrated their ankles and wrists and drew large amounts of blood, their hearts narrowly avoided the fatal blow.

The two fallen ghosts couldn't help but roar in pain, but their wounds immediately began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Almelda suddenly became impatient, and condensed a cold sphere in her hand. With a whoosh, it rushed in front of the fallen ghost and exploded. The icy cold current froze them into two ice sculptures in an instant.

This time, the two fallen ghosts were no longer able to recover. The ice sculptures shattered in an instant, and the body fragments spontaneously ignited and turned into ashes like their dead companions.

Immediately afterwards, Karin and Almeida jumped up and climbed to the fourth floor of the building in twos and twos, while Amiya stayed downstairs and stayed on guard.

The two frowned and looked at the three piles of ashes on the ground. The ashes were in the form of granular crystals, with individual particles as big as gravel.

Carlin thought for a while and knelt down to pick up the ash crystals one by one. He guessed that the ashes turned into by the dead fallen ghosts might be a daily resource for the vampires in the Queen's District.

Almeda said to Karin while observing the ashes.

"The weakness of fallen ghosts is the heart, just like vampires, but they can actually control the heart to move quickly within the body. As long as they don't hit the heart, other injuries can be recovered quickly, no matter how serious they are. Such an enemy is a bit tricky."

Carlin shrugged: "No matter how difficult it is, we have to face it. Anyway, we have summon tattoos. At worst, we can summon Winnie or Ivan to take us out of Meteor Street."

"Why not summon the Great Horn?"

"I suspect he is still alive, but something is wrong."
