The puppet's face is painted in red and yellow oil paint to resemble the usual clown, and the corners of the mouth are raised high, bringing out an unusually funny smile.

As its mouth opened to reveal the dark and deep mouth inside, Klein's hairs stood on end, and a strong fear suddenly appeared in his heart for no reason.

What he saw in front of him was dim, as if he was looking at the world through heavy brown glass.

Crane's thoughts were fast and slow, and he instinctively wanted to ask for help, but his neck was like a rope firmly tied to him, and he couldn't make a sound, and the word could only stay in silent thought.

At this moment, Dunn, who noticed that his arm bending was suddenly sluggish, pushed him hard.

The brown glass in front of Klein's eyes shattered, and the word "help" came out of his throat, echoing in the carriage with a slightly sharp panic.

"It's stronger. Klein stated in the affirmative.

Staying with a strange seal like "2-049", if you are careless, you will fall into a terrible crisis, no, you can't prevent it at all, you can only rely on other ways to avoid it!

"This is normal. Al Hasen nodded in a calm tone.

Lorota chuckled:

"It seems to like you? Rest assured, it's the less dangerous of the Level 2 seals. ”

In the natural languid voice, the joints were so clear that they seemed to stand up to the human puppets one by one, and staggered to their left.

Its movements are harsh, like a rusty steam machine that has forgotten to add lubrication.

Robot Dance ...... Klein Huo Ran flashed these Chinese and had a new guess about the reason why "2-049" was dangerous:

Does it assimilate the creatures it controls?

If I hadn't been woken up in time just now, I would have become a big puppet of normal human shape, a live-action version of Barbie?

While Klein was in a state of thought, Al Hasson was pushed awake by Dunn, and while stretching his arms, he pointed to the direction of the puppet moving slowly, and said to Leonard, who was driving:

"Go there!"

Leonard was unable to get the carriage through the building, so he had to make a half-circle, and in the process, "2-049" constantly adjusted the direction of his progress, tenaciously acting as a "needle for the Antigonus family".

Seeing this scene, Klein, who kept "moving" his arms, wanted to laugh in the tension:

"I heard that '2-049' was created by the Antigonus family...... Is this a sign of faithfulness, or a model of cheating?"

Then, in the voice of Al Hazen, which rang from time to time, Leonard drove the carriage through the streets, heading straight for a certain direction.

And every time the strange puppet "2-049" is about to reach the edge of the carriage, Al Hazen will catch it and start over.

Whenever this happens, its mouth will grin wider, and two people will be controlled at the same time.

The tension in Klein's heart gradually eased, and he felt that the seal "2-049" was not so terrible, as long as there were more than three people on the scene, as long as they knew how to maintain flexion and extension movements, as long as they mastered the skills of waking up their companions in time, "2-049" was just a somewhat special puppet.

The carriage sped fast, and soon drove into the dock area, until it came to the place where the warehouse was gathered.

After making sure that "2-049" wanted to go to the innermost gray-and-white warehouse, Al Hasson carefully grabbed it with a serious expression and re-stuffed the strange puppet into the iron-black box.

Knock knock!

With the help of Borgia and Lorrotta, El Hasson woke up again and again, struggling to flip on the mechanical switches, and then infused with spirituality, driving the stars and red moon symbols on the iron chest.

The invisible seal reappeared, and Al Hazen let out a long breath.

"Get out of the car. Dunn Smith's deep voice rang out, "Leonard, just tie your horses here." ”

Six gentlemen and ladies in trench coats, formal suits, or shirts left the carriage and made their way to the innermost storehouse, where they bent and stretched their arms almost in unison as they went.

This adds a bit of comical and absurd to the slightly frozen tense atmosphere.

Nightwatcher's Dance Troupe...... Klein could only alleviate this feeling by complaining.

However, it is not possible to do this, because according to his observations, the effects of "2-049" are first reflected in the upper body, and the only options to detect in time to avoid slipping into a more dangerous situation are to bend and extend the arms, turn the neck, and shake the body, and the latter two will make people look like a thug.

As for actions such as blinking and knocking on the eyebrows, they are either too easy to ignore or the range of movements is too large, which is also not a good choice.

The Embarrassing Dance Troupe is better than the Troubled Boy in Causeway Bay...... Klein sighed and resigned himself to following Captain Dunn and the others.

And the closer he got to the warehouse door, the deeper the anxiety and worry in his heart became.

Because no one knows what that notebook will make to Rare Bieber!

If something went wrong, Crane didn't dare to hope that he would be able to cross again.

And in the usual meat cutting and cooking, he found that he would still be injured and bleed, and the healing speed of the wound was also in the normal category, not the kind of monster who was not afraid of death or fighting.

As he walked, Dunn suddenly pressed his free hand down, causing everyone to stop more than ten meters in front of the warehouse gate.

"Crane, it's better if you can find out if there is danger in your divination, and you can roughly figure out the extent of danger. Dunn turned to Klein.

His gray eyes were still dark, and there was no trace of fear in them.

Crane nodded imperceptibly, stopped flexing and stretching, reached for his right hand to the left cuff, and untied the silver chain with the citrine pendant inside.

Because his arm was moving, when he was sluggish in the middle, Dunn noticed it in time and pushed him awake.

Crane held the silver chain in his left hand, allowing the citrine to fall naturally, while controlling his right hand with only a small flexion.

When the citrine stabilized, he half-closed his eyes, sketched a ball of light, entered a meditative state, and said quietly:

"There is danger inside the warehouse. ”

"There is danger inside the warehouse. ”

......

Seven times later, he opened his eyes and saw the citrine pendant slowly spinning in a clockwise motion.

It spun faster and faster, and at the end it felt like Crane's left hand was being pulled.

"There is danger, and the danger is great. Klein said truthfully.

- Clockwise is an affirmation of the silent word, counterclockwise is negative.

For other extraordinary people, even if they are "voyeurs", they can at most detect whether there is danger with the "spirit pendulum method", and they cannot further obtain information about the degree of danger.

But Klein found that when he used the "pendulum method", the pendant would have a gradation of rotation speed, which showed a different degree of answer.

It's not accurate and vague, but it gives you a rough sense of what's going on.

It is worthy of the "soothsayer" potion...... Klein was pleased.

Just as he was about to put away the citrine pendant, Leonard Mitchell, who was silent behind him, suddenly spoke:

"Check again if there is any danger around. ”

"Yes, I'm afraid that the tantric monks won't give up, and they've been keeping an eye on Riel Bieber's house, and then coming with us to make trouble at a critical moment. Dunn nodded in agreement.

Klein immediately took a breath and entered an ethereal and calm state again.

When the silver chain was stable again, he said silently in his heart:

"There is danger around. ”

......

"There is danger around. ”

......

After repeating it over and over again, Crane opened his eyes and looked at the silver chain.

In his dark brown eyes, the citrine pendant first struggled to move counterclockwise, then suddenly paused, turning clockwise.

"There is danger around. Crane's heart tightened, and he spoke cautiously.

And there are people who try to interfere with divination, but in this invisible confrontation, they lose to themselves!

As soon as he finished speaking, a fist-sized orange fireball suddenly flew in the distance.

At great speed, it smashed into the center of the crowd.

Dunn Smith, who had drawn his long-barreled revolver long before Klein's divination, immediately raised his hand and pulled the trigger in advance.

Bang!

In the midst of the gunshots, the fireball did not shake in the slightest, and continued to move forward according to the predetermined trajectory, as if forcing everyone to disperse and dodge.

Originally, Klein didn't care too much about tracking troublemakers, because there were six extraordinary people here, and there was even no shortage of Sequence 8 and Sequence 7 powerhouses, which belonged to a configuration that could walk sideways in such a small place as Tingen City.

But it wasn't until the fireball hit him that he suddenly woke up to a fact.

The fact is that the most dangerous enemy for himself and others is not the stalker, not the troublemaker, not even the untold Rare Bieber in the warehouse, but the seal "2-049"!

Once you and the others are scattered and caught in a battle, and you don't have time to wake each other up, you will become real puppets one by one!

As thoughts flickered, Crane was drazed by Leonard and rolled out with the other party, avoiding the fireball.

He didn't have time to feel sorry for the clothes on his body, and he saw that the night watchers were divided into two groups to dodge, quite orderly.

Burst!

The orange fireball smashed to the ground, not stirring up a speck of dust, as if nothing had happened.

As soon as the thought came to Klein's mind, he saw Al Hasson lift the iron black box and throw it aside, at least ten meters away.

"Stay away from it, keep it!" shouted Al.

Before he could finish shouting, Leonard and Borgia each moved closer to each other, guarding the box at least seven meters away from anyone approaching.

Dunn and Lorota each held guns, and together with Al Hassan, who drew his silver rappier, formed a semi-arc formation, and quickly rushed to the spot where the fireball was fired, taking care of the side area.

Seeing this scene, because he had to do flexion and extension exercises, Crane, who did not have a cane, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and understood that he had just ignored an important issue.

That is, the effect of "2-049" is limited, as long as it is separated from it by a sufficient distance, there is no need to worry about danger!

Crane jerked to his feet, tucked the citrine pendant into his pocket with one hand, and pulled the revolver from his armpit pouch with the other.
