Chapter 110: Marionettes

Lin Xue is very afraid of ghosts.

This kind of ethereal thing has always been intimidating.

You say you want to believe in science?

Even magic exists, is science still useful?

But Lin Xue sometimes really should think about it.

What's there to be afraid of ghosts?

And doesn't he himself still have a large number of ghosts in the territory?

The closer Lin Xue got to the town at the moment, the more she had a strange feeling.

From the outside, this small town is no different from other towns.

However, it always gave Lin Xue an illusion.

It was as if the town was like a giant monster, now opening its mouth, waiting for its own entry.

Take a deep breath.

Lin Xue carefully checked the props and equipment in her storage ring, and found that there were no problems, so she stepped in.

However, as soon as she entered the town, Lin Xue frowned.

Quiet...

It's so quiet, and the silence around is terrible.

In the huge town, you can almost hear a needle dropping.

What's even weirder is that the town is full of people at the moment!

This strong contrast made Lin Xue's hairs stand on end.

Everyone in the town was busy with their own business, but no one spoke, not even the residents standing in front of the stalls, no one could communicate with each other in words.

Pay the money, take the goods, and leave.

And everyone's face seemed to be fixed.

Smiling, always smiling.

Angry, keep angry.

It's like a silent drama, it's creepy!

Faced with such a scene, Lin Xue suddenly panicked.

It's weird.

Fortunately, Lin Xue's doppelganger also has the characteristics of the ontology, and has a certain immunity to some terrifying, disgusting, and terrifying things, otherwise Lin Xue would definitely shout to go home and let Carlos send an army by himself.

Walking to the side of a person, Lin Xue asked.

"Excuse me, are you reporting any activity right now? Why is no one talking? ”

Lin Xue tried her best to keep her voice as low as possible, so as not to break the "rules" in the city.

However, the person who was questioned was like a puppet, still busy with his own work, and did not pay attention to Lin Xue.

It's like I haven't seen Lin Xue.

And at this moment, Lin Xue suddenly felt a sense of crisis behind her.

Suddenly, his legs stepped on the ground, and the whole person quickly retreated.

Then he copied out a long knife, and turned around with a knife.

A flash of cold light.

Lin Xue found that there was no one behind her.

What he cut off by himself was actually a kind of transparent silk thread condensed by mana!

"What the hell is this?"

Lin Xue looked at the transparent silk thread that was still squirming even if it was cut off, and couldn't help muttering to herself.

When this thing struck, he just subconsciously retreated and swung his knife out of an instinctive reaction to danger.

Didn't really see this thing in substance.

It wasn't until Lin Xue cut off the silk thread at this moment that it could really be seen with the naked eye.

Made, there's definitely something wrong in this city!

Now even a fool can guess that someone, or some monster, must have manipulated the whole town!

In order to validate their ideas.

Lin Xue carried a long knife and came directly to the person who had questioned him before.

The other party did not react at all to Lin Xue's previous actions, and was still busy with the work in his hands at the moment.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xue directly pointed at the top of the man's head and waved the long knife in his hand.

Whoosh.

I saw that the transparent silk thread I saw before was cut by Lin Xue again, and without the manipulation of the silk thread, the man suddenly fell to the ground.

Immediately, in Lin Xue's surprised gaze.

The whole person began to decay rapidly, and almost in a moment, it became a pile of rotten flesh and bones.

Lin Xue stepped forward to investigate.

Finding out about the other party's condition, it seems that he has been dead for at least a few months.

It seems that it is the reason for the silk thread that keeps the corpse from decaying and deteriorating.

Immediately, Lin Xue found several people in the town.

After cutting off the threads of manipulation, some of them, without exception, were all dead.

The corpses have a certain amount of decay and deterioration to varying degrees, and the shortest time is more than ten days.

What made Lin Xue feel amazing was that.

After being manipulated by this thread, these people did not even show any signs of death from the outside, and even their pulses, heartbeats, and breathing, all existed, as if they were living dolls.

And this scene also reminded Lin Xue of the word.

Marionettes.

In the present world, there are many people who connect the bodies of puppets with silk threads, and then let them perform, and the voice of the person who manipulates it becomes a classic puppet show.

Isn't the scene in front of you exactly the same now?

It's just that the people who manipulate use the living.

Seeing the residents of the city as they live on a daily basis, people come and go, and soldiers are also patrolling around the city.

Lin Xue couldn't help but sigh, this manipulator is really a bad taste!

It is said that the dead are greater.

In addition to destroying corpses, Lin Xue was the first time she had seen and played with other people's corpses.

Now that the reason is known, Lin Xue can prescribe the right medicine.

Find the person who is manipulating it first, and then solve it.

However, Lin Xue searched in the city for a long time, and did not encounter any suspicious characters.

And that's not all.

Lin Xue also found in the houses in the city that many people were still busy with their own affairs before they died.

Apparently killed without any precautions.

Moreover, the other party's silk threads are all over the city, which means that the person who manipulates it may be anywhere in the town.

It's a lot of trouble to find!

Lin Xue couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

This doppelganger is also physically flexible.

Except for the artifact props in the body that can allow the clone to use the light ability, there are almost no other spells that are proficient.

Finding someone in a town in such a situation is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

What's more, if the other party is smarter and mixed with these manipulated people, then the trouble will be even greater.

Lin Xue had already retreated.

After all, this body has a lot of props, if it is obtained by others, then Lin Xue's loss will be too great.

It's much more than 100 million.

When I was thinking about whether to quit and let the main body come.

Lin Xue found out fuckingly.

When I came in, the city gate disappeared!

"Made! This thing must be afraid that it will run away! ”

I wanted to go over the wall.

But even more fucked up to find that there is actually a forbidden sky magic circle in the city!

All heights, limited to the height of the city walls!

Lin Xue couldn't help but want to scold!

Let the ontology come, it is estimated that in terms of time, it will be delayed for a long time.

During this time, the doppelganger may run into trouble.

And even if you rush over, will it be possible to use arcane magic to directly bomb the city?

Don't say Carlos disagrees.

Once the movement is too loud, let the other demon kings know that if Lin Xue has contact with the current female corpse clone, I am afraid there will be even more trouble!

Not to mention anything else, with just one beast god Nick, Lin Xue can't do it.

"What a dilemma!"
