Even at night, the bustling downtown is still brightly lit.

Two passing drunkards helped each other into a crooked and narrow alley, one of them looked at no one on the left and right, and then patted his companion on the shoulder, and said inarticulately: "Hurry up, you are clamoring to release water along the way, and I will show you when I go to the side!"

The man pushed him away with one hand, shook himself twice, and muttered, "Why are you still like a mother-in-law, I'm fast, what are you anxious about?" he said as he unfastened his belt.

"Hey!" the man burped, then staggered to the side, and said as he went, "It's obvious that you are grinding and chirping, and I don't care about you...... What the hell are you ......?"

The cold moonlight was hidden in the clouds, and the man was about to put on his pants after untying his hand, when he noticed that a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him. There was a sudden pain in his chest, and the pain was sharp as if he had twisted his heart. The man shook his body, looked at his chest and touched it with his hand, frowning suspiciously. Nothing, even the pain was wooden.

He strangely turned and walked towards his companion, but his body fell down in disobedience. He opened his mouth wide, but he could no longer speak, and he stopped breathing in an instant.

"Bang!" the man's body slammed into the ground, and the sound startled the other man.

"You have a mallet, ...... you can still untie your hands" The man looked at the person who fell to the ground motionless, suddenly felt that something was wrong, walked over and kicked it with his foot, "You get me up, what kind of dead man are you pretending to be dead?"

The shadow flickered again, and the man only had time to widen his eyes in pain, and then followed in the footsteps of his companions.

Looking at the two dead men in front of him, the black shadow slowly turned into a human form, and the night covered his face, revealing his scarlet eyes like beasts.

He pulled out a dagger from his body and cleanly cut off one man's right hand and another's left foot. Then he picked up the severed left foot and wrapped it in a cloth, and then he took the severed right hand in his hand and looked at it as if it were compared, and then cut off half an inch from the arm with the dagger, and then put it away satisfied.

The black shadow quickly skimmed over the town and headed in the direction of the Great Compassion Mountain.

This night, the thick ink generally can't be dissolved. Lu Yuanzheng lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and he couldn't erase the doubts in his heart. He wanted to know the outcome, but he couldn't ask.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound outside the window, Lu Yuanzheng quickly got up from the bed, grabbed the short knife under the bed, held his breath and concentrated, and his eyebrows were dark. Someone?

There were no footsteps, but I heard the wooden door squeak and close again, as if nothing had happened. Lu Yuanzheng's heart froze, so he just got out of bed and walked to the door with his socks on. Yi Cen had some strength in his eyes, but he was a young man with a thin figure and bad eyes, and he was just worried about him at the moment.

However, at the moment, if he thinks about it, he will find that this Great Compassion Mountain is only two of them all year round, how could someone suddenly appear on the Great Compassion Mountain?

He walked out the door to the door of Yi Cen's room, and as soon as he raised his hand, the sound of the rope in the room disappeared. At this moment, Lu Yuanzheng could only hear the heavy and slightly fast heartbeat. He hesitated whether to knock on the door and ask, and countless thoughts rushed to his lips, but in the end they all turned into a bitter smile on his lips. There was a thick and complicated color in his eyes, and he froze in place for a moment, then suddenly turned around and quietly turned back.

The house was not at all as calm as he had imagined.

As soon as Yi Cen entered the room, he put the baggage he brought back on the table and opened it, only to realize that Suosuo's voice was caused by him opening the baggage. But as soon as he opened the baggage, he didn't take a closer look at the test specimen he had just brought back, when he clearly heard footsteps. He jerked back, and the footsteps stopped in front of his door. The door was unlocked, just casually closed. He had never thought he would jump so frightened, afraid that the person at the door would suddenly push open the door and see what he was holding!

He swallowed nervously, feeling that every second was so tormented, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what would happen if the wooden door was opened by that person now.

And then what happened? How would he explain the bloody arm and leg?

But for a moment, another voice suddenly popped out of his heart and told him, why should he be cowardly? It was just an ordinary human being!

Deal...... Kill him! Isn't that easy for him anyway?

As soon as this thought came up from the bottom of his heart, he was suppressed back by Yi Cen Shengsheng. Even because he suppressed this thought, he broke out in a thin layer of cold sweat!

At this time, the person at the door did not mean to push open the door, and left silently!

Yi Cen sat down dejectedly, and his whole heart trembled because of this. He couldn't describe his current mood, as if he was hovering on the line of life and death. He stared blankly at the severed hand and leg on the table, thinking about the wooden figure he was about to make. He stared silently for a long time, and finally suddenly laughed silently in the dark night at the bloody severed arm and leg.

This is not the first time he has taken arms and limbs.

Before Lu Yuanzheng gave him a monograph on puppetry, all of Yi Cen's research was cobbled together. To this end, he learned the art of acupuncture, but only for every acupuncture point in the human body. He made a doll out of wood, and made it into a human shape and used a lead to manipulate it. However, this kind of manipulation can only make the puppet make simple movements, as if manipulating a corpse. He had also tried to use corpses as research subjects, but the results did not make him happy.

What he wanted was the kind of doll that had no mind but could be no different from ordinary people, but he never did. Until Lu Yuanzheng went to the Great Compassion Mountain and gave him a puppet monograph. He found a way from the book.

As mentioned in the book, the reason why puppets are different from humans is that the human body is connected by muscles, veins and blood, while dolls are not. So dolls can't do everything a human can do. Even if it can be manipulated by humans, it is just a marionette, and if the string is broken, it is still a pile of rotten wood. It's the same even with manipulated corpses.

However, there are also advanced methods in the book - that is, to take the body of a person who has just died, strip the veins from it, and implant it in a puppet. The puppet is implanted with sinew veins, and then connected with a lead wire in a special way to move like a human. If you want the puppet to open its mouth and spit out human words, you can use a spell to hollow out the inside of the puppet's head, and then engrave the runes and drive them with demonic power.

The methods in the book are detailed, every step is clear, and it is not difficult for Yi Cen to learn. Until today, Yi Cen has been trying for more than two months. All the puppets made by him were stained with the smell of blood, so Lu Yuanzheng could clearly smell the blood in the air the moment he stepped into the grass house.
