Chapter 43: The Morning Farce (Part II)
Out of etiquette and conceit, Nalan made a gesture and motioned for Alice to attack first. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Carrying her skirt and making a simple salute as a sign of gratitude, Alice led the transparent doll silk and manipulated her friends to launch the first wave of attack.
βLittleΒ· Legion!"
Magicians always make a loud attack announcement before making a move. This is an ancient mage ritual to let the victim know what killed them and not die unexplained.
As the declaration ended, six puppets that had already been prepared flew quickly with transparent silk threads, surrounding Nalan Twilight. They set up their silver halberds and stabbed at Nalan Twilight from six different directions, vowing to splatter his blood on the spot.
Although there were six of them, they acted as coordinatedly and naturally as one person, and as the name suggests, they were a small army.
Unfortunately, this tentative attack did not pose any threat to the enemy.
"Boom!"
With a crisp sound of metal clashing, six blades pierced through the air and against each other. Nalan Twilight landed lightly on the ground a little farther away, unscathed.
"You won't get hurt if you get hit, but it's not good if your clothes are torn. Nalan Yu smiled and said, "Why don't you warn me before you make a powerful attack, so I can take off my clothes in advance to take your move." β
"Please don't do that, I don't want to be in the newspaper with a pervert. β
Although Nalan's words were just a joke, Alice's request was serious.
"It's not a pervert! A few decades ago, before the human gang beat someone, they would ask the other party to take off their clothes and stack them neatly on the side, and then start fighting. This is done to prevent the person who is beaten from being covered in blood and leaving his face blank. β
"It's a pity that this kind of etiquette is not popular now, and it's obviously a good habit......"
Nalan said with a regretful expression.
"That's ...... Good habits?"
Alice had no understanding of these strange human customs, so she never tried to deal with them.
"Alright, it's my turn next. β
The short period of small talk is over, and now it's time for the vampire action that comes later.
"Thanks to those two noisy imps, I'm seriously running low on stock. β
He condensed a dark red concentrated blood ball the size of a glass bead in the palm of his hand, and complained about the Scarlett sisters by the way. If it weren't for the tireless bleeding of the two sisters these days, he would have been able to make a bigger, more beautiful blood ball.
"I call it 'B-type bubble gum,' but as you can see, I'm a little anemic right now, so I have to make a defective product, which is really sorry. β
"No, no, no, apologize or something......"
Alice shook her head, puzzled by the other party's "I'm sorry I can't hit you with all my might" attitude. This kind of person, should he be said to be a martial idiot, or is he purely a lack of brains?
"Okay, let's go!"
After the short preparation, Nalan raised his hand, blew lightly, and sent the little blood ball out. As soon as the blood ball came out of its hand, it flew towards Alice at a half-fast speed.
It looked like it was easy to dodge, but it turned out to be a tracking type, and it followed Alice wherever she ran, always floating slowly behind her ass, which was really annoying.
So she simply pulled one of the dolls back and ordered it to smash the blood ball. Unexpectedly, this move turned out to be a catastrophe.
The moment the tip of the mini halberd touched the blood cell, the blood ball "snapped" and burst. Far beyond its own size, a large amount of viscous blood splattered out, giving the little puppet who had not yet figured out the situation red. Alice, who was not far away, hurriedly covered her face with her hands, successfully avoiding the dilemma of being splashed with blood.
It's just that this seemingly natural reaction put her in a bigger predicament.
"It's ...... What's that?"
The "blood", or something resembling blood, quickly coagulates upon contact with air, forming a very viscous gelatinous substance. Alice tries to shake them off her hands, but she can't. The dark red gum adhered to each other, sticking Alice's fingers tightly together, and she couldn't tear them apart.
"That's what it feels like to have a piece of bubble gum stuck to the sole of your shoe, don't worry, it doesn't hurt, it's just very ...... Disgusting. β
Nalan thought about the wording for a while, and finally decided to use "disgusting" to describe this trick. Although he doesn't like to belittle his own creativity, making his enemies feel disgusted is exactly what he wants.
And for Alice, the harm of this move is not just to make her feel uncomfortable.
The most important part of a puppeteer's body is his hands. She relies on her hands to make the dolls, her hands to pull the silk threads, and her hands to manipulate the dolls. Sealing those ten fingers is equivalent to sealing all her movements.
This vampire, although he always seems to be careless, in fact, in this short few minutes of battle, he has firmly grasped Alice's life.
The so-called "snake hits seven inches" pinched the vital point, and the enemy can be defeated with one blow.
"Damn, all back!"
Alice's fingers couldn't be bent and extended, so in desperation, she had to wrap her arm around the thread and pull the dolls back with a forceful pull. The five little ones looked at their master with concern, but they didn't know what to do. There is also a whole body wrapped tightly with super glue, which is basically wasted.
So, what to do?
Having lost the ability to manipulate the dolls with precision, Alice was afraid to let them out of her side. But just staring at each other is obviously not an option.
"It was a mistake to bring 'Shanghai' or 'Penglai' when I knew about it......" Alice blamed herself in her heart.
In this case, she still needs an automaton that can strike alone, not a control doll that can't do anything without her commands.
"It's not a method, but that's the only way to do it now. β
She tugged at the filigree with her unopened palm, so that the five figures that could move were lined up in front of her.
"Listen, just like you normally train, don't make any mess of me!" she reminded.
And when the puppets heard this, they all nodded their heads as if they were cramping, as if they really understood human speech.
"Whew, the next move is...... Pseudo-Girl Bunraku!"
She added the word "pseudo" before the name of the move, because this was not the complete version of that move, and she couldn't use the full version now.
The magic flowed along the silk thread, from Alice's hands, into the puppets' bodies, and then through the "circuits" in the dolls' bodies, to the weapons in their hands. The tips of the five halberds began to emit red light, and this process only lasted for a short time, and soon, the light condensed, and five scorching lasers, with a large number of red and blue two-color light bullets, shot towards Nalan Twilight.
At this time, Nalan Twilight, who was standing there, finally began to act, and thanks to his patience and confidence, he waited for Alice to get ready and throw a move before he counteracted.
"Hey!"
Nalan Yu kicked the ground with both feet, jumped ten meters, and his head almost hit the ceiling. Seeing this, Alice was shocked, and quickly adjusted the position of the doll and shot overhead.
This emergency adjustment, can't be said to be bad, but it didn't have any effect, first, she didn't have eyes on the top of her head, and there was always an error in aiming, and second, her reaction speed was still not fast enough.
At least, it couldn't be faster than the speed at which Nalan Twilight fell.
"Bang, you're dead. β
Nalan twilight landed deftly behind Alice, reached out her right hand, and pressed her index finger against the back of her head, making a trigger-pull gesture.
"Okay, okay, I'm dead, hey......"
Alice raised her hands and sighed, admitting defeat. Her dolls all put away their weapons, and the light bullets in the sky disappeared in an instant, leaving no trace. And the annoying red gelatin finally obediently left her and her doll and returned to Nalan Twilight.
And just like that, the battle was over. Under the exchange of courtesies between the two, this friendly match was really very friendly, without injury, bloodshed, and dignity. It's completely different from Marisa, who compares the hardness of her skull to Mother Earth on the other side, and finally breaks her head and bleeds.
"Your speed is really unreasonable...... Alice said helplessly, moving her somewhat stiff fingers.
In the last attack, she hit the right position and blocked the opponent's escape route, who knew that although this guy couldn't fly, he jumped higher than a frog, what a freak.
"Whereever, wherever, faster than me, it's not nothing. Nalan said humbly, "For example, the one who delivered the newspaper." β
"That guy is outside the discussion, I didn't know if she existed at first, but I felt a gust of wind blowing, and I had an extra copy of "Wenwen" in my hand. News. β
"Haha, I know that very well. β
"Mr. Nalan, have you done it here?"
Nalan Twilight and Alice, following the voice, turned their heads, only to see the maid head Sixteen Nightsaki, carrying the unconscious Marisa in one hand and the Scarlett sisters in pajamas in the other, walking towards here with heavy steps.
"The eldest lady and the second lady were woken up and wanted to see you, so I brought them together, besides, this thief ......"
"Wow, Marisa! what's going on?"
"Brother Nalan, come and play! and my sister over there is also here, let's play!"
"Hey, Fran, don't run over like that, your skirts are lifted!"
"Okay Second Miss, I know Second Miss, wait for me to have a meal first, Second Miss?"
In this way, a noisy and interesting day that belongs only to the Red Devil Pavilion has begun again.
