Due to the murder incident, there are very few pedestrians on the street after dark.

According to the information given by the bar girl, Green and his party came to the South Street of the port, and sat on the roof of a building with the snacks they bought, eating snacks while waiting for the target to appear.

For earth otaku, cultivating immortals or something is simply an ordinary thing, but if there is no computer and the Internet, all-night is simply a torture! Time passed, and Beladonna was already asleep wrapped in her sleeping bag, and Green was feeling a little sleepy.

Suddenly, Qianying raised his head and looked in one direction: "Master, there is movement!" ”

Green finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that I didn't wait in vain. ”

Green didn't wake Belladona and ran along the roof with Chikage in the direction of the target.

Soon, in an alley, Green discovers a homicide scene!

A doll about the size of a kitten is holding a machete bigger than herself, frantically dismembering a corpse!

It was a tattered doll, full of ominous aura, covered in patches, which looked a little oozing, and when paired with the bloody scene in front of him, it made people feel even more creepy.

As if sensing something, the cursed puppet suddenly raised its head, and two buttoned eyes of different sizes looked in Green's direction. Immediately after, the puppet carried a machete and flew directly in the direction of Green.

"Identification!"

————

Cursed Doll: A cursed doll that kills people and collects mana whenever night falls.

————

Looking at the puppet in front of him, Green felt a little tricky. I thought it was a big monster, but I didn't expect it to be such a small thing. If he knew that the monster was such a thing, Green would choose to bring a pot instead of using a sword.

"Hmm...... Anyway, let's get rid of it first! ”

I wonder if the doll can be repaired after it is damaged?

Green drew his sword and slashed at the puppet in front of him! Green's blade slashed directly through the puppet's body, as if a shadow had been slashed, nothing happened, and the puppet's speed rushed directly towards Grimm without slowing down!

Not good!

I want to dodge, but it's too close! Green could even feel the cold blade in the puppet's hand.

At this moment, at the last moment, Chikage stabbed a sword from the side!

Chikage's sword stabbed directly into the puppet's weapon, making a metallic sound.

"Ding! ~”

The doll's charge was intercepted.

Qianying pulled Grimm by the collar and pulled Grimm down behind him: "Master, beware!" There's something odd about this puppet. ”

Green took two steps back and steadied himself: "Thank you." ”

A thousand shadows and puppets fight together.

This doll is very difficult!

Although the puppet's power is not very strong, its ability is too strange - like a non-existent shadow, completely ignoring any attacks, and only turning into a physical entity the moment it attacks. This ability is so disgusting that even Chikage can't do anything about her.

Taking advantage of the fact that Chikage and the puppet are in a battle, Green begins to further identify the puppet.

The so-called "identification" is to collect information about the target, and then analyze and summarize the results based on one's own knowledge and experience. The amount of information, as well as one's own knowledge and experience, will affect the level of detail of the identification information.

After the previous battle, the results of the identification have become more detailed.

————

Projection of the Cursed Doll: A projection of the Cursed Doll, similar to a doppelganger. Since it is only a projection, it is possible to convert between "virtual" and "real".

————

"It's just a clone!?" Green was surprised.

No wonder Chikage can't handle this puppet. Obviously, this thing is immune to physical damage, but it should have a low resistance to magical attacks - like a ghost.

After understanding the reason, Green did not use spells to attack, but continued to identify, trying to see if he could find the contact between the clone and the main body, but found its main body.

If on Earth, if two objects that can influence each other are not connected by wires, then they must be connected using some kind of "wave" – such as radio and infrared. Although this world is very "magical", there are many things that are very incredible to earthlings, but as long as the core principles are understood, there is not much difference between "magic" and "science" in essence - the so-called "magic" is "science" that cannot be understood.

There must be some connection between the doppelganger and the ontology! The only question is how this connection is made.

Under careful investigation, Green finally saw a trace of abnormality in the puppet. However, at this moment, the puppet suddenly "snapped!" ~" The ground disappeared all at once.

"Huh?" Green was stunned for a moment, "What's going on?" A sense of foreboding welled up in Green's heart. Could it be that this puppet found out that I was about to find its body, so I gave it up?

"It's running out of energy." Thousand Shadows returned to Grimm, "Although it has no entity and is immune to physical damage, its existence still requires the consumption of mana. Just drain its mana and it's gone. ”

"Huh...... I see. Unfortunately, I haven't found its body yet. Green looked around, "But its body should be somewhere around here." ”

Although he failed to win the target at one time, Green was not discouraged, but was completely aroused by the cursed doll.

Green was curious to know how the doll worked and how it was made. From the point of view of material, that doll is obviously just an inferior product made of ordinary burlap, but its combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of ordinary extraordinary powerhouses, plus its weird ability, even if a superlatively strong person is not careful, it may be killed in seconds!

If you can figure out the principle of this cursed doll and mass-produce it, it will definitely be a very powerful weapon of war.

Curious and excited, Green and his party returned to the "Mermaid's Song" hotel.

By the time Green returned to the tavern, it was already early in the morning. In the lobby of the tavern, a group of naked muscular men are lying in the hall, and the scene is really shocking!

"Oh~ guest, you're finally back." The tavern hostess (?) He greeted Greene boldly, "I'm worried about if something happened to you." ”

"Boss, don't these people need to work?" Green pointed to the "big garbage" in the hall.

"Haha~ Isn't this a mission? Usually they are still very busy training. ”

"Wouldn't their chief mind sleeping in the tavern when they were on a mission?"

"Hey! ~As long as things can be solved, the process doesn't matter! "The tavern lady (?) Thumbs up at Green.

"Your hearts are so ......" Green was skeptical that things would be resolved.

Well...... Wait a minute! I seem to be helping them out now!? They do seem to have to drink and play here, and after a while the quest will be completed automatically.

Green suddenly felt messy in the wind.

"Have you eaten? Would you like something to eat? "The tavern lady (?) Didn't notice Green's mood.

"Well, I ate it." Green shook his head, leaving the cranky thoughts in his heart behind, "Boss, is there hot water?" I want to take a shower. ”

"Okay, no problem!"
