Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

"puppet?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Miss Puppet.

Just after talking about puppets, a commission happened to come in?

What a coincidence, right?

Bai Chen spread his hands and smiled, saying: "Let me just say... this restaurant will turn into an office sooner or later!"

At this moment, Chen Ye's mind moved, he opened the Eyes of Luck, and observed the aura of luck on the client's body.

Compared with before, the bloody light was more intense, surrounded by a dark, deep luster, filled with fragmented traces, as if it was dragging the dreamer into a nightmare from which he would never wake up...

The situation seems to be getting more serious!

Recently, there have been many more victims reacting to the "puppet incident" on the forum.

Chen Ye frowned and pondered for a moment, gradually linking the puppet incident with the Head Fruit that was popular throughout the city.

In fact, both are related to the [Art Department]...

That is to say...

Miss Puppet was attacked. It is possible that the main goal at the beginning was not to control the other party, but to break into the players and launch a sudden attack to cause chaos?

After all, Miss Puppet was just a second-turn professional at the time. It would be too fanciful to think that she could have a subversive effect on the plans of the entire player team with her second-turn profession.

It seems like...

When Miss Puppet was attacked, it is very likely that the target of the attacker was not to control the other party at the beginning, but the puppet factory!

Do they need to dissimilate this factory and turn it into a copy, thereby causing a certain impact on the pedestrian street?

As for Miss Puppet being controlled later, she launched a sudden attack on Chen Ye and others in the Scarlet Building, which was just the result of subsequent excavation.

No matter how you think about it, if it is just to insert a second-level combat force into a melee, so as to enter other players' territory and conduct a sneak attack...

The risks and benefits faced are completely disproportionate.

Now that I think about it, it is obvious that there is a deeper plan behind the attack on Miss Puppet, which may be related to that factory!

"If this war is a battle between [divine authorities], then the first pedestrian street to be hit must be a battleground for military strategists, and there are still many unexplored areas about this place, hiding many mysteries... …”

Realizing this, Chen Ye first interrupted his thoughts, turned his eyes to the client in front of him, and said in a soft tone:

"You can first tell me what happened these past few days..."

The entrusted girl took a deep breath, controlled her chaotic emotions, organized some words in her mind, and then began to state:

"I've been having nightmares lately!"

"I always dream that I become a puppet, screwing screws in the factory, all day and night..."

"In that dream, I felt like there were some threads connecting my body and controlling my hands and feet..."

"Even if I realize this is a dream, I can't control it. I can only keep tightening the screws..."

"You may have a hard time imagining how terrifying this is for a [Dream Weaver]!"

"I can't activate my own characteristics, weave my dreams, and control my sleep time..."

"Every time I wake up, I find that my sleep time is far longer than normal. When it's better, I wake up in about ten hours, but in some extreme cases, I even sleep for two days and two nights... …”

"When I got up, I felt as if my whole body was not my own. My hands and feet were extremely sore, as if I had been screwing screws in a factory for so long."

Miss Puppet couldn't help but interrupt:

"The factory you are talking about has a lot of puppets on a mechanical assembly line, sliding past a huge turntable with many silver-like lines on it, connecting the various puppet components?"

"right!"

The entrusted girl nodded quickly, with a bit of surprise in her eyes. She was surprised that Miss Puppet could accurately tell her dream.

At this time, Chen Ye already had some guesses in his mind, but he looked at [Dream Weaver] and said in a deep voice:

"Since you have been stuck in a nightmare around here, why don't you consider changing places and abandoning the pedestrian street?"

She took a deep breath, a hint of fear appeared on her face, and said with a trembling tone:

"That's exactly what I'm going to say..."

"Ever since I realized that something was very wrong around here, I have realized that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so I chose to move out. I left the pedestrian street temporarily and chose to rest in an old mansion on Mink Street for a while."

"A friend lived in this mansion and recommended it. Apart from being a little abandoned, there is basically nothing wrong with it. It can be used to shelter from wind and rain and provide temporary accommodation."

"I moved into the mansion and stayed there for a day, and my dreams that night finally returned to normal!"

"Just when I thought it was over..."

"I never expected that last night, when I fell asleep again, I dreamed of that factory again!"

"This time, I am no longer the puppet that screws the screws, but I am divided into countless components and placed everywhere..."

"I felt as if my consciousness was split into countless fragments. I could see my own components from all directions, and I also saw puppets with weird shapes, grinning at me with a terrifying smile!"

"That time, I was really scared and woke up!"

"When I opened my eyes again, I found that I was back in the original house on the pedestrian street..."

At this point in his statement, [Dream Weaver]'s pupils contracted and dilated violently, as if he had seen something terrifying.

"When I first opened my eyes, I suddenly found a puppet's face lying on the windowsill!"

"That puppet's facial features are bleeding!"

"It looks exactly like the puppet I turned into in my dream!"

After saying the last sentence, [Dream Weaver] almost slumped on the back of the seat, as if he had exhausted all his energy. He felt that the scenery in front of him was about to be completely blurred, and his consciousness was about to dissipate at any time, and he passed out completely.

Until a melodious suona sound came from the side, her emotions were calmed down by the gradually calming music. She raised her head and glanced at Chen Ye with a hint of gratitude.

"Until now, I haven't closed my eyes again, for fear that I would fall asleep accidentally." [Dream Weaver] said funny and poignantly.

As a [Dream Weaver], I dare not sleep...

I'm afraid only she herself knows what it feels like.

Chen Ye glanced at the entrusted girl and found that she was in a very poor mental state. He pondered for a moment, then faced Chen Xi and said:

"Let's do this... you can go to the Lieyang Church to take shelter for the time being."

"When you are in another place, you will be suddenly transferred back to the house. I don't know if it is due to the influence of characteristics or if you were physically moved in the dream."

"Although I don't know if the Burning Sun Church can keep you safe, it is still safer to arrive at that place."

The commissioned girl opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe her ears:

"Fire Sun Church? It seems that you can't enter that sacred place casually, right? Can I go there?"

"Normally, this is indeed not possible." Chen Ye said with a smile, "By chance... there is a party member here today who happens to have something to do with the church. Say hello and let you stay there for one night. It should be no problem."

Chen Xi smiled and did not refuse, saying gently:

"Anyway, there are still a lot of beds in the common room. One more bed is not much. I'm afraid if I fall asleep, there will be another nun in the church."

Miss Puppet couldn't help but blush when she heard this.

"Thank you... You are such a good group of people..." The entrusted girl's nose felt sour, and the sense of crisis that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time seemed to be finally released, turning into pearl-like tears, uncontrollably flowing from both sides of her cheeks. Down.

During this period, she sought help from many "friends", but all she got was some constructive opinions, but no one was willing to come to her to provide truly valuable help. On the contrary, they were even afraid that this curse might spread. When it comes to yourself, you choose to delay replying to messages, deliberately avoid them, or ignore them for a long time.

Among them, they also include the best friends who used to be in the same dormitory during college and were extremely close to each other.

In this world full of weird things, it’s difficult for everyone to protect themselves. As long as they can survive, who has the heart to care about other people’s affairs?

Once something happens, in order to prevent the disaster from spreading to yourself, you can't even hide...

"I can perform a divination for you."

Chen Ye pondered for a moment, and then took out the [Good Luck Dice].

Not just to know the entrusted girl’s next fate...

It's rare to catch a "divination client", so naturally you have to complete this month's stage tasks.

Everyone's eyes fell on the dice, and their eyes moved slightly. They all realized that Chen Ye had probably unlocked the characteristics related to [Destiny].

Mizi on the side sighed: "Oh, it's really difficult to find a job these days. Even the bosses are following the employees to grab jobs."

But she remembered that she had done the work of three employees in a coffee shop by herself, and suddenly she felt that such a salty life seemed not bad.

"good!"

The entrusted girl nodded.

The next second.

Chen Ye tossed the dice in his hand.

With a click, the dice landed on the composite wooden floor, making a crisp sound.

The points paused at the spiritual number "2" for a moment, and then fell back to "1".

Chen Ye looked at the entrusting girl with a slightly heavy look and said in a deep voice:

"I'm afraid your luck will not be very good next. It's best to stay in the Lieyang Church. If the incident is not over, don't come out casually!"

When the other party saw the number of the dice, he also realized this and nodded quickly.

Soon, the entrusted girl returned to Lieyang Church to rest with the support of Chen Xi.

This is actually a test...

If that kind of characteristic can bypass the Burning Sun Church and bring the entrusted girl back to the pedestrian street again...

That means that the existence behind this incident is not something that Chen Ye and others can afford to offend.

Although the current "Lord of the Burning Sun" is likely to be affected by the [Black Sun], the church is still operating normally, and many contracts in the name of "Lord of the Burning Sun" can still take effect, which means that the "Lord of the Burning Sun" "The [divine authority] can still be activated for the time being, and the situation is not at its worst.

After the morning sun leaves...

Although Tang Wu was interested in continuing to follow up, the Manufacturing Association still had many matters and he needed to go back to work on it, so he could only say goodbye and leave with regrets.

Bai Chen also patted his butt and stood up from his seat, saying with a leisurely expression:

"If there are any incidents that need to be investigated, you can entrust me at any time. Or if there is an entrustment incident here and there is suitable remuneration, you can also ask me to serve. The price is negotiable. The main thing is that the incident is interesting."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Chen's figure merged into the black shadow and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Mizi, who looked like an old god, was obviously not interested in these things. Instead, he took the initiative to get up and go to the kitchen to help Wang Jing with the large order of one thousand grilled chicken wings.

Miss Puppet chose to stay, intending to follow up on the development of subsequent events.

She looked up at Chen Ye and asked with a slightly worried look: "Where should we start the investigation now? Is there any danger?"

Judging from the current intelligence, what happened to [Dream Weaver] was not a dream at all!

The place she dreamed about was Miss Puppet's original factory!

But as to why you dream about that place? Why do I still inexplicably return to the original "Insomnia Treatment Center" after leaving the pedestrian street?

When I woke up, I happened to see the puppet in my dream at the window. Its facial features were bleeding and its appearance was terrifying, as if it was a threat!

Chen Ye pondered for a moment and connected all the information in his mind. He gradually came to a conclusion and slowly analyzed:

"Rather than a dream, it is better to use the form of a dream to pull the consciousness of the [Dream Weaver] into the body of the puppet, using her consciousness as the driving force of the puppet to provide free labor for the factory."

"What is the purpose of doing this?" Miss Puppet looked puzzled.

"That's hard to say!" Chen Ye sneered, "Some rituals require the creation of a large number of dead bodies in order to meet certain evil conditions. There may be various tedious and twisted steps in the process, and ultimately achieve the effect of destroying the entire city. ."

Miss Puppet immediately thought of the thousands of players who were tricked and killed in the [Dragon God Festival], and she understood something in her heart and fell into silence.

"Boss, what should you do next?" Wang Jing asked while making grilled chicken wings and listening to Chen Ye and the puppet lady talking outside. He couldn't restrain his curiosity.

Although he knew that Chen Ye was very powerful, this incident did sound a bit strange.

“Of course I’ll go there first and take a look.”

Chen Ye clapped his hands, stood up, and smiled calmly:

"If you want to teleport our client back from such a far away place, you must have [space system] characteristics."

"But this group of puppets already has the characteristics of [Art Department] and [Control Department]. It is obviously unlikely that there is a [Space Department]..."

In fact, there was one thing Chen Ye didn't say.

When the dice paused to "2", it is very likely that there was a shadow of [Spirit Realm] behind this incident. This already has three characteristics in it. If it also includes [Space System] and reaches the fourth turn stage, then It cannot be solved by everyone.

The white-clothed bishop whose rank four has already corresponded to the Burning Sun Church is a high-level combat force. He is just a group of puppets and does not have such terrifying means.

therefore……

The reason why the entrusted girl woke up and found that she suddenly returned to the "Insomnia Treatment Center" may have something to do with that house!

Chen Ye plans to go there and conduct a formal investigation.

"Then shall we leave now?"

Miss Puppet took a look at the sky. It was dusk at this time, and wondered if she should complete the investigation before dark.

"No!"

Chen Ye shook his head and said:

"We'll go out to investigate when it gets dark."
