Chapter 91: Hunting Mission, Tracking
Ironically, we who came to fight the Silent Puppeteers in the name of hunting became the prey of each other. If Yu Jingjing was in a group with us, the situation would be very different, and if there were ten people here, we would never run away. This inevitably leads me to wonder, is all this a coincidence or some kind of conspiracy?
The strange stone henge is several hundred meters in circumference, and there are either piles of rocks or strange rocks, which provide excellent cover for our escape.
After about five minutes of non-stop running, the seven-man team was exhausted. I really wanted to shout "I'll go, running for my life is more tiring than long-distance running", but at this time I lay on the ground, even though I remembered the original World Physical Education teacher who said, "Don't sit or lie on the ground after strenuous exercise", I still did it willfully.
"Are you alright?" asked Park Ji-woo.
I gasped for breath and sat up, fearing that my blood flow would be poor if I stood up later, so I slowly got up and walked as the teacher had told me.
"Yi Jiahe, what the hell is going on? Why are you here, Xiao Hui and Ma Chao?" Park Ji-woo pointed to Mark and John and asked me again, "These two are the travelers who were kidnapped by the Silent Puppeteers, are the others safe now?"
"Zhiyu, you have to ask questions one by one. β
I'll tell Park Ji-woo and Kojiro about the experience I told Alex again.
"The dark shadows in the Strange Stone Forest, could it be that there are two silent puppeteers here?"
Why didn't anyone think that it was the pretending magical creature who pretended to be pretending to be it? Was it because I had too much imagination? No, probably because no one had seen the black cloak of the puppeteer in a suit, so I led to the most reasonable answer.
"Alex, give you the liaison. Kojiro handed the black metal block to the dark-skinned classmate.
"Thank you," Josh said to Alex as he took the magic equipment and said to his teammates, "Alex, don't be so careless in the future. This is a borrowed contact phone, and it needs to be compensated for loss. β
Alex stopped talking. I think he's going to contradict Josh, but when he realizes that it was his carelessness that caused the contact plane to fall because of the Silent Puppeteer's attack, he thinks Josh's words aren't groundless.
"The monster didn't catch up. What do we do next?" asked Mark.
"Needless to say, of course it's to keep running. John replied.
"Then we were overtaken by the Silent Puppeteers, and we were all dead. Josh replied.
"Staying here is also a dead end, so it's better to run for your life. β
"If you can't escape from the Strange Stone Forest, it's also a dead end, so it's better to gather the wisdom of all the people to destroy the Silent Puppeteer on the spot. β
I watched the two of them singing and harmonizing perform the words of the two, and interjected: "Why don't we contact Yu Jingjing and ask her to come and meet us?"
"Yu Jingjing, is that the fifth-level wind mage you mentioned?" asked Mark.
"That's right," I replied with a nod, "and it's no secret that the Silent Puppeteer's weakness is fire and lightβfire magic doesn't work against it, and only light magic can repel it. Of all of us, if anyone is qualified to fight the Silent Puppeteers, there is no doubt that this person must be Yu Jingjing. β
"Anyway, where are Yu Jingjing, Charlie and Adam......" said Park Ji-woo as he activated the contact and Alex followed.
"There are also Xiao Hui and Ma Chao. Our liaison plane should be at Xiao Hui's, one of you will contact Yu Jingjing and them, and the other will contact Xiao Hui and them. β
After a moment, Park Ji-woo replied: "Yu Jingjing can't be contacted, and at the same time, I can't track her whereabouts." Charlie and Adam are also untouchable, but their positioning is open, and it can be seen that they are moving away from us towards the outermost periphery. β
"I can't get in touch with Xiao Hui either, but he stays still in the second part of the Strange Stone Forest - what are they doing, one is cut off, and the other is running out to give up the mission?"
"It seems that now our choice is only to meet Xiao Hui and Ma Chao. β
I agree with Park Ji-woo: "Without further ado, let's go immediately." β
"Wait," said John, sitting under the tree and holding his ankles, "I can't do it anymore, if I run any longer, I'll die." β
"Daddy, don't always talk about death," I teased John, "Do you really want me to take care of your wife and children?"
"Horizontal is also death, vertical is also death, rather than let my wife and children see my remains, I should be buried here. β
I want to beat this. Even though I, who was known for my decadence, would go ahead when I was encouraged by others, John was the best of us. If I had a wife and children, I would fly to them even if I was broken. They may be scared and sad, but I believe that this last moment will always be a precious memory for them.
"Sorry, folks," said Mark, sitting beside John, "this is the end of our journey, so don't worry about us, and join your companions." β
"The Academy mission we accepted made it clear that we were going to rescue the victims who had been kidnapped by the Silent Puppeteers. If we abandon you, we will give up our determination to complete our mission. In this way, even if we have the conditions to defeat the Silent Puppeteers, we will not be able to face all the villagers of Moya Village who have entrusted us. β
Park Ji-woo's impassioned speech failed to make John and Mark change their minds: "I'm sorry, I hope you leave this ghost place smoothly." β
There was a rustling sound of the leaves shaking, and something was above.
"It's a monster. Students, let's go. "Mark is pleading with us.
Even though I didn't mind leaving the two of them behind, Park Ji-woo and the others hesitated.
In the distance, I spotted the white-clad Silent Puppeteer facing us in that unpleasant position by a tree.
"Everyone, let's go. After saying that, Park Ji-woo turned around and left.
What will be the fate of Mark and John? Nine times out of ten, they will die. If the Silent Puppeteer's intention was purely to have fun playing with us, it might have brought the two back to Stonehenge, or trapped them where they were. However, if we run away a few times, even the most patient villains will erupt, not to mention the ruthless dark magical creatures.
"Everyone," Park Ji-woo suddenly stopped and handed over the contact to Kojiro, "I really can't abandon them." So, I'll do everything in my power to hold this Silent Puppeteer back. Please take this time to meet Xiao Hui and take them out of the Strange Stone Forest with you. β
"But ......"
Park Ji-woo interrupted Kojiro and continued, "Time is ticking. The strength of the Silent Puppeteers is clear to everyone, if the one who finds Xiao Hui - the guy from the third class has a chance to fight - I am worried that Xiao Hui is hiding alone in the strange stone forest. With Xiao Hui's strength, he couldn't compete with the Silent Puppeteer. β
Park Ji-woo turned his head slightly to the road and said to us, "I have a secret magic device, and once it is activated, I will definitely escape." You can rest assured that as a member of the three-tenth, whether it is me or you, we will be able to overcome obstacles and complete the task. β
We looked at Park Ji-woo's back farther and farther away, but we didn't say a word.
Park Ji-woo will never return? No one knows.
I always think for the worst. Park Ji-woo is my classmate, but not this classmate, but Yi Jiahe's classmate in the wizarding world. To put it bluntly, Park Ji-woo's life or death has nothing to do with me. It's just, why are my heartstrings touched?Ah, I know, it turns out that I have always regarded Park Ji-woo as a living dictionary, after all, he is erudite and willing to solve my doubts, and I am not the same person.
Without a living dictionary, there is enough to be disappointed. Looking for a replacement? Probably not. There are many things in the world that are unique, such as the living dictionary of Park Ji-woo.
"Let's go, go to Xiao Hui and the third class, and then find Charlie and Adam, and go out of the strange stone forest with them to inform the teachers to come. β
I said to Alex, "You mean to abandon this mission?"
"Two silent puppeteers, and a few more second-level magicians to deal with, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete this task, let alone our group scattered like broken glass?" Alex was complaining about Yu Jingjing's instructions to act in groups.
Then run for your life. According to Alex and Kojiro's report, Xiao Hui is still standing still, while Charlie and Adam are dangling somewhere. Because the sub-liaison machine is different from the main liaison machine, if Yu Jingjing does not turn on its own positioning, we who have the sub-liaison machine will not be able to determine Yu Jingjing's location as much as we can track Xiao Hui and Charlie.
On the way to Xiao Hui's location, I found a stone demon. The dumb-headed earth-type magical creature has something so cute about it that I want to capture it as my soul contractor. There are few stone demons in the strange stone forest, and I am afraid that this shop will not be lost after this village.
"Yi Jiahe, what are you doing stupidly, keep up. β
As if hearing Alex's voice, the alert stone demon instantly shrunk his limbs and turned into a strange stone, whose appearance was no different from the big head in the strange stone henge.
"Could it be that I've already missed a stone demon?" I reluctantly shifted my gaze as I thought about it.
Approaching Xiao Hui, there are no dangerous magical creatures around. Sure enough, it's very strange, shouldn't there be a lot of magical creatures in the second and third parts of the Strange Stone Forest, why didn't I see a single magical creature except for the stone demons that I finally saw?
"It's not normal......" Alex should have noticed something strange.
"That's right, even if you are timid, you will not be able to see one. β
"What are you talking about?"
I replied to Josh, "Magical creatures." The Stone Forest isn't a place without magical creatures, so it's not like they're all running away from the Silent Puppeteers out of fear. β
"No way, if the Silent Puppeteers had such courage, it would have become a hot topic among magicians. While magical creatures are instinctively driven to fear anything more powerful than them, the Silent Puppeteers we've learned of nothing like that can make magical creatures fear with their aura. β
"Perhaps," Kojiro said to Alex, "they were transferred by someone, or they avoided it because they sensed something strange in the Stone Forest." β
"Strange?"
Kojiro replied to Josh, "Dooms, or beings with powerful deterrent powers, such as magical creatures that are more powerful and terrifying than them. β
"And this guy won't be a Silent Puppeteer. β
I think Alex said it too soon. At the same time, I was reminded of the stone demons of Fang Cai. If it senses something strange, why doesn't it leave? Is it actually a demented stupid stone demon?
Arrived at Xiao Hui's place, but Xiao Hui was nowhere to be seen.
"It's strange, the contact machine shows that Xiao Hui should be here. Alex was confused.
"He's hiding?" Kojiro looked around.
I had in mind the tactics often used in spy war movies, so I asked the three of them: "Is the contact machine located by Xiao Hui's people or the contact plane in Xiao Hui's hands?"
"This kind of thing is still asked, of course, the magic tool can be located. β
I stared at Alex and told him with my eyes that who knew exactly how magical devices would function in the wizarding world.
In other words, Xiao Hui may have left the liaison plane here to avoid something, and disturbed the other party. β
Josh moved and laughed at me: "Yi Jiahe, the consequence of losing the borrowed magic tool is to work for free to compensate for the corresponding expenses, who will eat the ......"
"Click", the sound of something shattering.
A terrified Josh looked down with us to find the broken Nexus at his feet.
"Those who don't know are not guilty, haha......" Josh, who was laughing in the sky, suddenly stiffened his expression and asked Alex pitifully, "How much sok does this cost?"
"Thousands?"
Josh narrowed his eyes to show that he didn't know anything.
"The liaison still works. I'll see," Kojiro looked through the shattered black flats, "Well, this is indeed Xiao Hui's contact machine...... Huh?"
I looked at Kojiro and saw his expression change from flat to surprised.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh no!" Kojiro looked up and threw the contact machine into the distance before replying to us, "It's not the Silent Puppeteer, it's the Dark Mage......
Before Kojiro's words fell, a person fell from the sky. He was wearing a black cloak, and he seemed to be the black shadow that separated me from Xiao Hui and Ma Chao.
"Isn't it here?" the female voice.
The hood of the Man in Black covered her face, and I couldn't be sure if she was a magical creature or not.
"Are you the Silent Puppeteer of Star Six?" I asked.
The black-clothed people who glanced around us only regarded us as the same scenery as all directions, and did not pay any attention to us.
"Yi Jiahe, let's leave!" Kojiro said in a deep voice.
After his companion said this, the man in black, who was similar to the evil magician, finally focused his attention on us.
"I see, you also have a liaison plane, are you the partner of the Dalai Crystal holder?"
Seeing that we were silent, the man in black sneered: "If you are his companions, then you are dying." β
"Are you Xiao Hui's enemy?" I asked.
"Enemy?" ...... the man in black chuckled, "what would you do if I were his enemy?"
"Destroy you. Alex had a serious expression.
The man in black suddenly said in a low and terrifying voice: "Magicians are all such goods, pretentiously controlling magical creatures, but in fact, they don't think they are superior, it's really a joke in the wizarding world. β
"Who the hell are you?"
"Hmph," the black-clad woman sneered at me, "to forget me so quickly? β
This guy, I know? racking my brains, I don't think I've seen her anywhere, or heard her voice. Could it be that she is Yi Jia of the wizarding world and owes a romantic debt?
Just when I wanted to tease her for who could see who she was wearing a hood, the man in black said, "That's it." It's a trap, and I don't want to stay long on it. The target was taken away by the little girl, but none of you can get out of this forest. β
After saying that, the man in black took out a sealing talisman - no, it was a card, it was a soul binding order.
"Liberated, my companion. β
The temperature in the forest plummeted, and the breath we exhaled was clearly visible.
"I heard that your mission this time is the Silent Puppeteer? Hehe, thank me for my great kindness. β
The magical creature that came out of the Soulbound Order was left with only one eye. It was dressed in a white dress, with long blond man-made hair, and a broken doll in its arms, tilting its head and smiling. It reminds me of the protagonist of a famous horror movie, but it has a terrifying atmosphere that is different from the puppets in the movie.
"Friend......" said the bad puppet in the hands of the magical creature, "please ...... Become...... My sister's, friend. β
The mournful voice sent chills down my body.
"Come on, kid back then. If you lose, you'll be made into a puppet alive by my companions......" said the man in black, pointing to the tree next to us, "just like them." β
With that, the man in black disappeared.
