The gem on the puppet's chest was completely shattered, and its function was completely stopped, turning into a useless pile of wood. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Whew, strangle in the cradle. Alice breathed a sigh of relief, and with both hands, pulled out the scythe inserted into the gem in the puppet's chest, although she didn't think she would be unable to stop the trick just now, but the feeling of killing the boss when it was about to open up was really good, she didn't do that much when she played games with her roommates, and every time she succeeded, she would high-five and celebrate.
"I really didn't expect this kind of thing to exist in this wood. Alice slung the scythe to her shoulder, crouched down, and looked carefully at the puppet in front of her, which had been reduced to waste.
Puppets are made of unknown wood and contain a variety of intricate mechanisms, but contrary to their intact properties, they are covered in tiny knife marks and dents.
"It always feels like this thing is very old. Looking at the scars on the puppet's body, Alice couldn't help but think of the battle-hardened warriors in the movie, the appearance of this puppet gave her the feeling of a veteran, but its strength did not match its veteran identity, and she didn't know if she was too strong or what.
Thinking of this, Alice couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart, she was almost beaten to death by the old man who suddenly appeared, and now she suddenly felt a lot more confident.
"But thanks to this puppet's ultimate, all the miscellaneous fish in the woods seem to be on their knees, which saves me a lot of time. β
The woods in the dark night were once again calm, and even the white fog that had been permeating them had faded a little.
"But this thing seems to have said something just now, and I didn't finish listening to it too quickly, as if it was guarding something, but this puppet is really exquisite, and it actually has a language function. Remembering the staccato words that the puppet had just said when it was about to open up, Alice was a little confused.
What to protect, what to protect, what is there to protect in such a small park.
"But now that it's cleared, don't worry about it so much, it's time to get down to business. Alice stood up and looked back at the giant tree behind her, a smile on her lips, she had come for this tree today.
As a giant tree that no one cares about, this place itself meets the conditions of "seclusion", and coupled with the really good environment of the park, it is difficult to find another better "residence" in the city.
Alice has no money, no legal status, she has not studied the magic of illusion, and the "cognitive impairment" function of the earrings It takes a lot of time to change a person's perception of herself, even if it is used by an ordinary person, the time required will not be shortened.
So, Alice's desire to get a place to live by normal means is tantamount to a dream, but now that she really needs a secret home, then this is the best place she can think of.
"Huh?" Just as Alice was about to start construction, there was a sudden sound behind her.
"What?" Alice was startled and hurriedly turned back.
The original pile of puppet remains that Alice had treated as waste released a gray-blue light, and the whole body seemed to regain its strength and function again, the only difference was that the position of the gem on the chest of the original mechanism puppet was replaced by a gray-blue flame.
"And this kind of function, it's really powerful, but it's been damaged to that extent, what else can you do?" Alice looked at the reactivated puppet, and the scythe on her shoulder was lifted back in her hand.
Although the puppet moved again, the parts that had been destroyed by Alice before had not been restored, and it was only barely able to move by relying on the gray-blue flames, not to mention the speed and strength, which were not at all comparable to the original level.
But Alice is not the kind of person who is easy to underestimate, she knows the truth of "the lion fights the rabbit, and also uses all his strength", who knows what strange tricks this strange puppet hides.
"Can't... Eliminate the intruder and initiate the final response plan... Self-destructing. Just as Alice was about to make a move and test the power of the reborn puppet, the puppet suddenly opened its mouth again, and at the same time, the gray-blue flame on its chest swayed violently, releasing a powerful wave that was completely different from the original.
"Is that the idea?" Even without the puppet's voice prompt, Alice knew what the resurrected puppet had in mind based on the extremely volatile magic fluctuations alone.
"Self-detonation", turning itself into a bomb and dying with the enemy, this is a trick to burst out all of its own power in an instant, blocking its own existence, the power is naturally not to be underestimated, coupled with the energy that the puppet absorbed from the miscellaneous fish, even if Alice is physically strong, it is inevitable to suffer some minor injuries at such a close distance.
The scythe in her hand dissipated in an instant, and the black magic covered Alice's hands, turning them into her best weapon.
The explosion didn't happen, but the glint faded from the golem's eyes, and a small fist pierced its chest.
"I don't want to get hurt at the last minute, like a couple of villains. The self-detonating impulse of the gray-blue flame was temporarily controlled by Alice's suppression, and she was imprisoned in her palm and kept jumping and churning.
Alice pulled her fist out of the puppet's chest, losing the support of her fist, and the puppet's wooden body collapsed weakly on the ground, it lost its energy as power, and finally had no last chance of resurrection, completely reduced to a pile of waste.
Alice looked at the completely disobedient flame in her hand, and remembered the magic that Kikutsuki had shown her to be a ghost-specific magic, "Soul Prison".
Since the Soul Prison can trap low-level ghosts, there is no reason why it can't deal with these aggregates of soul residue. The black magic turned into a small birdcage, trapping the gray-blue flames in it.
Sure enough, the gray-blue flame gradually settled down in the black birdcage, and even the trace of gray gas attached to it gradually dissipated, and the entire flame suddenly became clearer and more transparent.
"I didn't expect this soul prison to have a purifying effect, isn't it quite useful. Alice couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the cleaner flames in the birdcage.
"Soul Prison" is a prop-based magic that works on its own as long as it provides mana after it is formed, without the caster's constant attention.
After filling the cage with enough mana, Alice looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure it was safe.
"Finally, no one bothered, it's been delaying for so long, you have to hurry, otherwise it may not be finished before dawn. The black magic turned into a sharp long knife, and Alice held this magic weapon and walked towards the giant tree with a smile.
ββββββββ Alice is in a hurry to divide the lineββββββββ
"Done!" Just as the sky was flushed with a hint of fish's belly, Alice jumped from the center of the giant tree, stirring up a large cloud of dust around her.
Building a real treehouse has always been an Alice dream.
As for her, she doesn't think that a simple shack on the top of a tree is a treehouse, and a real treehouse should be built inside the tree.
But it is difficult to find such a giant tree in real life, and even if there is, it is public, and it is not her turn to be a student at all.
But now, with her current identity as a guest from another world, why bother to be too rigid about the original behavior pattern, to be honest, she really wants to shout loudly after doing this, "The public thing is my thing, you have the ability to catch me!", and then laughed exaggeratedly a few times.
But think about it, she didn't want to attract too much attention.
Alice pulled out a three-meter-high, four-meter-diameter cylindrical hollow in the center of the tree, and used her magic to do something to the walls to make them dry.
However, the wood of the giant tree in the park was unexpectedly hard, and although Alice did not break the seal of Wang Li, it still took her a little effort in terms of Alice's own strange power.
It is precisely because of the special material of this tree that the breaking event caused by the hollowing out of the inside of the giant tree is avoided.
Of course, these strange woods were not abandoned by Alice, and they became part of the collection of spatial rings as "unknown materials".
"I didn't expect the soul to be so beautiful. Alice held the black birdcage in her hand, and the gray-blue flame in it was completely purified, like a dancing blue crystal.
"It's decided, there is no electricity in the house now, and you will have electric lights from today onwards. Grabbing the birdcage in her hand, Alice jumped again, pinpointing into the reserved entrance in the middle of the tree.
The entrance was blocked with wood with bark left behind, and the room was plunged into darkness.
"I actually came back here, and it still feels like a dream. Alice lay on her back in the middle of her new nest, feeling the fresh smell of the trees around her, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of tiredness.
"I really don't know what my funeral is like, otherwise go and put incense on myself and miss my youth. Alice stared at the sky-blue flames that were jumping in the birdcage, thinking about something in her head, and suddenly felt the drowsiness surge even more.
"Tomorrow, let's go to the school. The idler's retreat and cognitive impairment began at the same time, and Alice finally couldn't resist the call of sleepiness and closed her eyes.
