Chapter 190: Puppets and Mutations
The cause of the "Puerto Ancona Murder Incident" is that the resentment of the corpses has mutated under the influence of magic elements, and some undead monsters have been produced.
As for the cursed doll that could not be found, the answer given by a consultant mage was that the body of the cursed doll was most likely inadvertently destroyed during the excavation, after all, the ragdoll must have become very fragile after being buried in the ground for so long, and it is normal for it to be damaged during the excavation.
Green asked the advisor mage if it was possible that the cursed doll was somewhere else, or if it hadn't been dug up yet.
"What an interesting idea." The advisor mage of the town hall, Anres, smiled and touched the white beard on his chin, "The resentment full of magical power does spread to the surrounding area, but this spread also has a limit. The magic of the earth is not very good, and if there is no leyline or specially laid magic transmission equipment, the magic power full of resentment will not be able to travel too far at all. ”
"Is the magic conducted?" Green touched his chin. In this way, the place where the cursed doll was dug is indeed not too far from here.
"But even if we don't dig up that cursed doll, it doesn't matter, without this place of bones, it is impossible to get enough magic and obsession with a cursed doll alone. Since the first day of excavation, the cursed doll has not been seen again, and that's the best proof of that! Gen Anreth concluded.
Although Mage Anres's argument was questionable, the result was correct, and the cursed doll that fell into Grimm's hands did fall into complete silence due to its lack of negative energy - it looked like a lying corpse like a skeleton dug out of the ground.
"Energy...... In other words, this thing is because it is 'out of electricity', so it has become a salted fish? In the hotel, Green carefully observed the cursed doll in his hand.
Green infuses the cursed doll with magic. Black gas began to emanate from the cursed doll, filled with an ominous aura, but that was all. The cursed doll does not appear as the "killer" he once saw.
"Hmm...... Give it a try by infusing it with chaos magic. ”
Chaos magic is a highly mysterious thing that can cause very drastic mutations in matter. If the mutation effect of mana is 1, then the mutation effect of chaos mana is 100! As the price of mutation, items infested with chaos magic will immediately degenerate into cursed items, and when the black mud-like chaos magic pours into the cursed doll, which is itself a cursed item, the cursed doll is indeed mutated.
The twisted doll stood up and ......
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Murderous intent overflows!
Even without any words or communication, Green could feel the intense killing intent emanating from this cursed doll. If it weren't for the fact that Green relied on the authority of the Demon King to suppress the actions of this cursed doll, it would probably have rushed towards the two maids standing behind Green.

Cursed Doll (3rd Order Monster)
Health: 25/25
Attack: 1D8 (Energy Drain), 1D8+3 (Negative Energy Weapon)
Defense: 15 (Negative Energy Armor)
Speed: 6 (walking), 16 (flying)
Abilities: Undead creature characteristics, sunlight incapacitation, demonic energy, energy absorption, generation of derivation, corpse splitting.
Challenge Level: 12 (Silver)
Description: A doll full of hatred and curse, under the influence of an unknown force, it turned into a monster and came back to life, and began to attack living beings non-stop.
————
The Cursed Doll's own combat power is not very strong, and the challenge level of 12 is not even comparable to the Sheriff Alicia Knight, plus the two negative BUFFs of "Undead Creature Trait" and "Sunlight Incapacitation", this Cursed Doll may not even be able to defeat a Black Iron Militia with holy water! But low combat effectiveness is exchanged for powerful special abilities.
Spawn Derivation: Any humanoid killed by the Cursed Doll will turn into a "Ghost Doll" derivative upon death. The Derivative is controlled by the cursed doll that created it, and will remain in this enslaved state until it is destroyed. Derivations do not retain any of the abilities they possessed during their lifetime.
Dismemberment: Dismember corpses with negative energy weapons, suck energy from fresh corpses and gain temporary health. If the soul on the corpse has not completely dissipated, then turn it into a "ghost doll" derivation.
The ability to "generate derivations" gives the cursed doll the ability to form an army of one. Just let it slaughter civilians in one place without stopping, and it will soon create a terrifying army of ghosts, a scene that is terrifying just to think about! However, considering the low combat effectiveness of the cursed doll itself, it doesn't seem strange that even if it is counter-killed by the villagers.
"The correct usage should be to send it to the battlefield to dismember? Or after killing someone, let it dispose of the body? Green looked at the cursed doll with boiling murderous intent, and couldn't help but feel a little headache.
That being said, this thing doesn't seem to be easy to control. If it doesn't work, it is estimated that it will soon rush out, kill people everywhere, and then be killed by people - with the two characteristics of "undead creatures" and "solar incapacitation", it is too easy to target.
However, the cursed doll itself has a physical body, so after Grimm locked it up in a sturdy cage, he completely solved the problem - the cursed doll's physical attack power is too low, and no matter how much trouble it makes, it can't destroy this specially built sturdy iron cage.
Belladonna has added a new bag to her bag.
At the same time that Green imprisoned the cursed doll, the "Port Ancona Murderer Incident" was completely resolved, but the chain reaction brought about by this incident did not end there.
Because a large number of corpses were dug up, housing prices around the burial site plummeted instantly, and a large number of renters moved! The town hall is debating whether to welcome the Earth or the Church of Light - the introduction of these two churches will effectively prevent the appearance of undead monsters in the city, but it will greatly weaken the power of officials and nobles, and may even break out in a coup d'état, changing from an aristocracy to a religious government.
None of the lords were willing to put themselves in the way, and in the end, Lord Ray Eddy rejected the proposal with one vote. Unable to bring in the Church, the City Hall had no choice but to increase its investment in the vigilantes, intending to form a special department for transcendent events, and the Knight of Alicia, who had excelled in the Porto Ancona Murder incident, was appointed as the head of this new department.
The new department will be composed of extraordinary powerhouses, although there is a certain amount of financial support, but the extraordinary powerhouses are not cabbage, so the first task of the female knight after taking office is to recruit people! Green, who had worked together in previous events, naturally became the target of the female knight's recruitment.
After inquiring about some information, the female knight came to the beach where the Sea Church was located.
The bright sun shines on the blue ocean, and the silver sand is a little hot to step on, but it gives people a very comfortable feeling. On the beach, Green is mixed in with a group of "dead fat houses", following Pastor Cam to do a special workout similar to gymnastics.
The Knight of Alicia looked at the group of dead fat pigs on the beach, and the corners of her eyes twitched slightly. The scene of a large group of dead fat houses without clothes really hurts the eyes.
Knight Alicia decided to stand outside honestly and wait for the group to finish their workout.
Don't underestimate these "dead fat houses", in a world without the Internet, it is definitely a very luxurious behavior to want to become a "dead fat house".
The Church of the Sea has absolute authority in the ocean, but has very little influence on land. However, the Ocean Church in Puerto Ancona, under the management of Pastor Cam, has successfully opened up the market among the wealthy class in Puerto Ancona, and has successfully attracted a group of wealthy people who are interested in physical fitness to join the church—that is, this group of "dead fat houses" who participate in muscle training with Green.
Although these dead fat houses are rich, they lack exercise, so after some exercise, most of them are covered in sweat.
"Next, free to move, if you want to dive, come to me and sign up!" Pastor Cam flexed his muscles and then spoke to the patrons in front of him.
The crowd began to disperse, and at this time, the Knight of Alicia finally found an opportunity and walked towards Green.
