Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

The night sky was clear, and the crimson moonlight shone quietly through the windows of the shops on the pedestrian street and reflected on the smooth pavement of the pedestrian street. Suddenly, the entire street was filled with a hazy blood color, as if dyed with a layer of blood-colored gauze.

Most of the shops on both sides have closed their doors. When night falls, in the minds of most players, the world has entered a dangerous moment. The safest way is to stay in the rented real estate on the pedestrian street, protected by the domain, almost No problems will arise.

But at this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came faintly from the crimson-filled street.

The players walking here are none other than Chen Ye and Miss Puppet, including Wang Jing and Shen Meng.

"Boss, why do we have to operate at night?"

"It feels eerie..."

"Wouldn't it be safer to come here during the day?"

Wang Jing shivered and walked on the street illuminated by the crimson moonlight. His body felt inexplicably cold, as if there were some ghosts around him, sometimes passing through his body, bringing a cold feeling that did not belong to this world.

"The victim's professional identity is [Dream Weaver]. If you think about it, at night, he cannot display his characteristics. He often dreams that he appears in the body of a puppet, and even shows symptoms of being suspected of being controlled... …”

"So, do you think these things will come out during the day?"

"Isn't it more likely to find the source of the problem if we act at night?"

Wang Jing was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully with his mind. It seemed that this was really the case.

In fact...

There was one thing Chen Ye didn't say...

The reason why he chose to act during the day, and because he detected information related to the [Black Sun], was that he knew that the city of Destiny during the day might not be as safe as the players imagined.

In the early stage, all players only have initial professions. Most of the professions are still in the first level and are still very weak. Any aboriginal who encounters them may be killed...

Daytime, which is full of threats in the eyes of the indigenous people, has instead become a refuge for players.

But now, the time has come to the second month, and most of the players who can survive have the means to save their lives and have a certain ability to resist risks.

At this time, even if you encounter aborigines, as long as you follow the rules, actively avoid beings that cannot be contacted, abide by your duties, and formulate an action plan based on the role-playing code, there will generally be no problems.

Therefore, during this time period, it is more appropriate to integrate into the aborigines of the City of Destiny.

at this time……

Chen Ye and others have arrived at the door of the "Insomnia Treatment Center".

At this moment, scarlet traces wrapped around the side of the shop, growing like vines, gradually seeming to cover the entire shop.

Boom!

Boom!

A heartbeat sound suddenly came from inside the store.

The sound was like a knock on the door, or like the heart of some large creature, beating slowly...

It seemed like something was about to "grow" out from inside.

"What is this sound?"

When Wang Jing heard the unusual noise, his mood sank slightly, and he felt a little uneasy for no reason.

Chen Ye frowned slightly and checked with the Eye of Luck, and found a thick bloody light mixed with ink traces, covering the entire store.

The ink-colored traces of luck are exactly the same as the pollution in the Xijiang River!

"Is it really related to the characteristics of pollution..."

Chen Ye's eyes moved slightly and he immediately made a judgment in his heart.

It can even be traced back to the emergence of "Pollution Paradise"...

I'm afraid that when the pollution from the Xijiang River turns into a flood and spreads to the entire pedestrian street, some sinister existence will be born when it merges with the original characteristics of this place.

Combined with the attack on Miss Puppet, is it also part of the planning for this pollution incident?

It seems that after the fusion of the characteristics related to [Pollution], these puppets have even more sinister characteristics!

But I'm afraid the person behind the plan didn't expect that after the Sun Church cooperated with that guy Hua Shao, they actually chose to drop a holy light bomb and almost blew up the entire pollution paradise.

Thinking about it this way...

Spending less money still makes a lot of contributions!

No wonder he also has a golden star on his body. It seems that rich people have to bear the destiny of rich people and do earth-shattering things.

These puppets are now attacking the tenants more. After clearing out the residents, they can slowly activate the [Parasite Land Deed] feature to take back the property purified by the Holy Light Bomb.

"I see……"

"One of the main purposes of these puppets appearing here is obviously to deal with the residents and drive them out of the property..."

"Thereby creating conditions for the assimilation of real estate!"

"Although the Holy Light Bomb has almost eliminated the [Pollution] characteristic of the entire paradise, there will definitely still be a part of it that is integrated with certain other characteristics to avoid the damage of the Holy Light Bomb in a special way, so it can Stay here and harm others."

"Puppets, as objects with the characteristics of [Manipulation System] and [Art System], can provide these parasites with a lifeless but very useful body."

"After all, the puppet's simulated human body structure can move freely like real hands and feet under the control of nerve lines."

"Those parasites are able to assimilate into nerve filaments, and are almost perfectly adapted to puppets, providing a moving body."

“That’s probably how the weird rumors about puppets appeared on the forum before!”

Thinking of this, Chen Ye suddenly understood the essence of "Puppet Stories"...

"careful!"

At this moment, Miss Puppet suddenly exclaimed next to her.

I saw streaks of blood-colored threads, suddenly entangled from the road surface that reflected the thick blood light under my feet, and from inside the store.

That deadly thread, with its extremely strong cutting ability, formed a dragnet and killed people from all directions!

boom!

boom!

Chen Ye's left and right hands exploded and turned into scissors.

At that critical moment, he activated the execution form of [Demon Executioner] without hesitation!

The cold sword light streaked across both sides.

In mid-air, the life-threatening bloodshot threads were cut off by the light of the sword at the moment they were about to strike, turning into lines like catkins and falling down.

This offensive has been resolved!

Miss Puppet breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the two scissors in Chen Ye's hand, feeling instinctively afraid.

She felt like this pair of scissors... seemed to be her nemesis!

The bloody thread that struck just now is actually very similar to the silver thread used by Miss Puppet to control the puppet.

They are all tissues and organs derived from their own nerve organs, and have non-human characteristics.

These silver wires are far beyond the scope of what biology can understand. They have extremely strong cutting lines. No matter in terms of toughness, sharpness, or cutting strength... they can almost be compared to nano-filaments. As [Puppet Master] , in addition to the puppets she made, this is also an important means she relies on to fight.

But the two scissors in Chen Ye's hand could easily cut off these bloody threads!

That means that your own silver thread will most likely be easily cut off by the other party.

Silver thread, as the nervous organ of [Puppet Master], is not only the main means of controlling the puppet, but also the biggest basic support for his battle.

But if the scissors in Chen Ye's hand can easily cut through the silver wire, that means that in actual combat, the opponent can easily cut through the flanks of the battlefield, disconnect himself from the puppet, and then enter into close combat.

These silver wires are not foreign objects, but their own nerve organs. The moment they are cut off, it will be very painful!

If it was a physical close combat, then the [Puppet Master] would use his own flesh and blood to fight Chen Ye, who was slashing with two kitchen knives. One can imagine which one is better between the two.

Miss Puppet took a deep breath. She originally thought that Chen Ye was both a cook and a suona player, and that most of the bonus points for his status and profession seemed to be related to support. However, she did not expect that the combat characteristics he showed at the beginning were completely overwhelming. Pressed myself.

The top guy on the list is well-deserved!

"careful!"

"This thing has strong diffusibility..."

"Not only the store, but also the area under our feet has now become part of the enemy's territory!"

Chen Ye reminded in a deep voice.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

They never expected that before their figures went in to investigate, they would fall into the opponent's territory first!

Any player who has been involved until now knows very well that fighting within the enemy's territory will often lead to an extremely unfavorable passive situation.

After all, this is the opponent's domain!

Under the circumstances of many restrictions, they also have to face heavy siege and attacks from all directions. Even a class with a higher level can easily be forced to fall into a disadvantage.

in the dark……

Chen Ye's luck pupil reflected a colorful ripple, locking the interior of the store, trying to use the luck sign to determine the source of danger.

"This property has not been completely assimilated by pollution..."

"Although it is possible to launch an attack, as the real estate rules are not yet complete, it is temporarily impossible to launch an attack based on the rules. Instead, some kind of existence uses the mind to use the real estate as an amplifier of characteristics to strengthen the means of attack."

"This enemy is inside the property!"

"If we can find it and destroy it completely, we can destroy the source of this polluted real estate."

Realizing this, Chen Ye immediately locked his eyes on the interior of the store, carefully observing the many signs of luck gathered inside. Among the messy blood and ink stains, mixed with the spraying black mist and gray gas, he tried to find the difference. The place.

suddenly……

Chen Ye found that in the deepest corner of the store, an object with a pitch-black outline was placed on the ground. It was only about the size of Mo's palm. It looked like a doll that had been knocked over on the ground by a child who had been pranked.

"Got you!"

Chen Ye's eyes moved and he immediately locked onto the outline of the doll. Two execution-style scissors were placed horizontally, making a charging posture, ready to rush into the store...

The next second.

The puppet deep inside seemed to be aware of the crisis, and its whole body began to tremble.

Along with the strange jet-black water, it gradually covered the entire store.

Gulu! Gulu!

Huge blisters appeared on the surface of the shop covered by the ink-colored water flow.

boom!

Suddenly, the blisters burst!

The ink splashed out from the ink-colored blisters, as if it turned into arrows all over the sky, flying towards the faces of Chen Ye and others like rain needles.

At that moment, Chen Ye suddenly felt as if something was hanging up behind him and flying into the air.

beside……

The figures of Wang Jing and Shen Meng were also suspended in the air by a silver thread.

It turns out that Miss Puppet activated Silver Thread’s ability!

As for herself, she placed the ancient coffin behind her in front of her to block the splashing ink.

Sizzle!

Sizzle!

The ink splashed and hit the surface of the coffin made of holy silver, making bursts of burning sounds.

Ever since she joined the Church of the Burning Sun and received the favor of the Saint, Miss Puppet's equipment has undergone a wave of upgrades!

Even the ancient coffins used to carry puppets are made of holy silver. They possess part of the power of [Fire Yang] and have a restraining effect on evil and evil things.

The ink is highly corrosive after passing through it, but when it hits the surface of Miss Puppet's ancient coffin, it is restrained by the [Scorching Sun] property, so it has no effect at all.

With the help of Miss Puppet, everyone narrowly escaped this sudden attack.

Chen Ye's expression changed slightly, and he realized that although the real estate had not been completely assimilated, but with its characteristics amplified, every round of attacks was very dangerous.

Moreover, these ink-colored water flows are, as expected, the polluted water source of the Xijiang River.

If you get these things on your body...

Even if you don't die, you will still have to shed your skin!

The entire shop is covered in thick blood and ink. Even if you hold two [Devil Scissors] and the ink-colored palace robe that can avoid water flow, you will still face huge danger if you rashly go deep inside. .

He looked at the ink-colored water covering the surface of the shop and frowned slightly, wondering whether he should take out the [Fire Sun Scroll] and activate the sacred flame to purify those things?

Judging from the effect of the ink hitting the ancient coffin of Miss Puppet, the [Fire Sun] characteristic still has a strong restraint effect on these evil things.

It's just that...since this place has become the property of the enemy's domain, simply relying on the degree of purification of the [Fire Sun Scroll] may not be able to deal with the ink-colored water that invades at the same time.

He was thinking about the risks...

Is there a safer way to go deeper into the store and deal with the puppet?

At this moment, a golden luster suddenly appeared in Wang Jing's hand, and he flew into the hands of Chen Ye and others, saying:

"This is the steamed fish eye I developed. It has the ability to see through and can help us see what's inside the store."

Chefs in the [Gourmet Department] can cook different delicacies and give them different bonus effects.

This pure white fish eye exudes a fragrant fragrance. If you swallow it, you will get the extra bonus ability of "clairvoyance".
