Chapter Seventy-Two: The Power of the Night
"It's really a forbidden doll that has reached the legendary level......"
Unlike other Karakuri dolls, as the posthumous work of Stephen, the former chief of Balka and the former head of the Ministry of Machinery, Night Night has its own peculiarities.
A member of the Mimic Organization in a previous life had received a super-continuous mission, and the more he did it, the more closely the content of the mission became more and more closely related to the forbidden dolls, and the clues of Stephen and the three forbidden dolls he left behind appeared.
The reason why he infiltrated the Barka Research Institute in his previous life also has a certain relationship with the order of the mimicry, as a helper to help that member get clues to the mission, and sometimes he needs to fight.
In the process of assisting, Chu Ge found the secret suicide note left by Stephen through the clues of the mission, learned some secrets that even the high-level researchers of Barka did not know, and also knew the true value of the three forbidden puppets and the activation conditions, Lei Zhen was also one of the key aborigines involved in the last step of the mission!
Judging by the length and difficulty of the successive missions, Chu Ge speculated that the final reward for that mission would be one of the two remaining forbidden dolls!
Although Chu Gedu still covets the power of the forbidden puppet a little, it is a pity that he does not have the physique to connect the forbidden puppet, even if the ability is reached, the forbidden puppet will not resonate with him, except for Lei Zhen, the only person he knows who has that physique is the player who triggers the continuous task.
Although there were three forbidden puppets left behind by the previous chief, the Balka Research Institute had been helpless against them, and none of the puppeteers could wake them up until Ray really appeared, allowing the night to be activated.
After countless tests on Yeye, Balka's researchers still couldn't crack the secret of Yeye, except for being more emotionally rich and his body was extremely strong, Yeye didn't seem to be much different from other dolls, and his strength was not even as good as that of ordinary high-level dolls.
Although Ye Ye is now blindfolded with divine power, he can only exert the strength of the early stage of the third order, but in this place, he is not much different from several other puppets.
"Hah...... Go on like this...... It's not an option. β
At this moment, the four puppeteers, including Lei Zhen, all used the special recovery props equipped by the Barka Research Institute and the portable potion input box, trying their best to maintain their vitality.
Even so, the powerful laws of ice have brought their state to the limit, and if they hadn't made some preparations for the environment here in advance, maybe they would have frozen to death a long time ago!
Now their faces are extremely pale, not to mention casting spells, they are barely even able to maintain a standing posture, if Chu Ge does not have the Thorn Flower Badge, it is estimated that he will be even more unbearable than them.
"What to do now, retreat?" One of them asked.
The puppeteer standing in the center was expressionless, the left side of his cheek was completely covered by a mask, and he seemed to be the least affected by the laws of ice among several people.
After looking around, he slowly spoke:
"Let's try again one last time, a few of you stand closer to the entrance, if you really can't get the key, you have to withdraw."
Key? What key?
Chu Ge couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and turned his head to look at the stone gate where the alien races were gathered.
Not far in front of each of the alien leaders was a small dagger that might be what they called the key.
After hearing the captain's words, the other two nodded in agreement, and one of them suggested:
"Those four short swords may not really be useful, the key is just our guess, I think it would be better to go directly into it next time, and not to get entangled with these monsters."
With that, the two of them struggled to move towards a corner of the back arena, ready to abandon the Karakuri puppet.
Chu Ge looked in the direction they left, and very close to the audience on the ground floor, a cave that had been excavated appeared, which was obviously not the hand of the Ice Hell Lord!
Should they be called prison escapees? No, it might be more appropriate to call it a prison robber.
"Lei Zhen, why don't you leave?" Seeing that Lei Zhen was motionless, the puppeteer who stayed behind asked.
Although Lei Zhen was about to faint from the cold, his eyes were still resolute:
"I'm not going to leave the night behind!"
ββ¦β¦ Whatever you want. β
After a moment of silence, Magnus ignored Lei Zhen and stretched out his wide sleeved robes and shook them heavily, and several spider-like mechanical creations suddenly fell out of his cuffs and rushed towards the four stone gates at a very fast speed!
Their target is the four short swords of different shapes!
However, just as the mechanical spider was about to approach the short sword, Chu Ge noticed that the alien phalanxes that were originally stationary suddenly changed, and each phalanx rushed out with a warrior and split the mechanical spider in half with a single sword!
The four alien leaders still didn't make a move!
However, after crushing the invaders, the four warriors who attacked did not stop their figures, but rushed towards the central arena!
"Let's go!!"
Magnus suddenly shouted to the two slowly moving companions in the distance, and then dropped the puppet and turned to leave, although not very fast, but it didn't seem to be seriously affected by the law of ice.
However, beyond his expectations, only two of the four alien races that rushed over joined the puppets' battlefield, and the other two actually pounced directly on him!
"Damn! That wasn't the case just now......"
Perhaps it was determined that the mechanical spider was caused by Magnus, so the aliens did not attack Ray Zhen or chase down the two puppeteers who were slow to escape, and attacked Magnus wholeheartedly.
Facing two third-order at the same time without the help of a puppet, even Magnus didn't have much power to fight back in this environment.
Of course, compared to the other three companions, he was still too much stronger, and even Chu Ge couldn't help but bow his head and admire the other party's talent.
"Don't underestimate me!"
His shirt was sliced open by Naga's scimitar, revealing half of his mechanically modified body, and the gears were faintly flickering with spell runes!
He stretched out his right hand and grabbed the opponent's scimitar directly, then jumped up and turned over to dodge the orc's charge, and stepped on the other party, and the bottom of the shoe was suddenly exposed with a sharp cold light!
In the case of being besieged by two third-order soldiers, Magnus was not defeated in an instant, but launched a counterattack, although it was very difficult, but he did it!
Unfortunately, there was only so much he could do, and under the strong approach of the two aliens, his body was already getting more and more damaged, and blood was constantly spitting out from his mouth.
"If it's not in a place like this, it's up to you two ......"
This was the last consciousness that Magnus had left in his mind before he was knocked away by the orcs.
In fact, even without the help of a puppet, under normal circumstances, Magnus himself has the combat power of the mid-third order, and if he cooperates with his puppet with all his strength, even the transcendent can fight with him head-on! (Magnus has a total of four dolls, and the other two are under maintenance and have not been brought out)
Under the effect of the orc's huge force, he was like a baseball after a home run, flying upside down in the air, and after crossing an arc of seven or eight meters in the air, he smashed into the audience not far in front of Chu Ge, panting unconsciously.
"The SP value sent to the door......"
Chu Ge licked the corners of his mouth, and quickly followed like a silent poisonous snake, approaching Magnus, who was no longer noticed!
Without any hesitation, he immediately pulled out his dagger and inserted it into the other party's closed eye, and then stirred it a few times, completely cutting off the chance to deal with it!
[SP+65, Soul (Strength 3)*1]
"65 o'clock...... Anyway, it's a bonus, but I think there seem to be two other wretched people who have quietly escaped. β
Thinking back to the two puppeteers who had lost their combat power, a trace of excitement flashed in Chu Ge's eyes.
He quickly removed the small box that had been attached to Magnus's arm, put it in storage, and crawled towards the cave where the two puppeteers had fled!
"That's a good thing......"

[Description: The standard product on the ultra-precision assembly line, more importantly, the liquid in it, you must be confident in its quality - provided that you use it according to the instructions.] γ
The small box that Chu Ge dismantled from Magnus was this thing, and only the senior personnel of the Balka Executive Department were qualified to ration, even Lei Zhen was only barely up to the ration standard.
Although there is not much potion left in this injector, there must be some on the other two who escaped, and it should be enough to remove it and fill up a whole portion!
On the other side, after knocking Magnus away, Naga and the orcs stopped their movements, and instead of joining the puppets, they turned and returned to the phalanx.
Chu Ge suddenly noticed that three diamond-shaped ice crystals suddenly appeared on the left cheeks of the two returning aliens, and one of them was slowly melting!
"Didn't change to ice ballast, but something else......
Perhaps after all three ice crystals have melted, these alien races will truly die out like the goblins before them.
Shortly after Magnus's death, the puppet he controlled also lost its spirituality, and its stiff body was torn into several pieces by the aliens, and various parts were shattered to the ground.
"Strange, I remember that according to the spell circuit setting of ordinary dolls, after the death of the puppeteer or after the Karakuri puppet loses its combat ability, in order to prevent the leakage of secrets, every part of the puppet will destroy itself, even the fragments of parts are difficult to remain, but why are they still preserved now?"
"Is it a special model? It's not like that...... Or is it due to the influence of the surrounding environment, and the key runes have been damaged? β
After losing a key combat power, the remaining puppets immediately fell into a complete numerical disadvantage.
Originally, they couldn't have the upper hand when they were one-on-one, but now even the number has been suppressed, and a one-sided situation has been directly formed.
One against six! With the strength in Ye Ye's heart, he couldn't last five seconds at all!
"You're at the end of your rope, what are you going to do now? I can't help you, but since you lived to two years from now, there's no reason why you'd die here......"
Chu Ge suddenly stopped, looking forward to the next development, and quietly looked at Ye Ye and Lei Zhen.
At this moment, Ye Ye is completely like a sandbag being constantly ravaged by several alien races, if it weren't for the extremely strong body, it would have already followed in the footsteps of other Karakuri dolls!
"Night, night!"
Seeing this scene, Lei Zhen staggered forward with his weak body, stretched out his hand and shouted Ye Yeye's name loudly, and he had already made up his mind to live and die together!
"Thunder, True ......"
Lei really approached naturally attracted the attention of the alien race, and the alien race, who had ignored him, decisively launched an attack, and the figure of an elf holding a thin sword turned slightly, turning into a gust of cold wind and stabbing towards his heart quickly!
Even in his heyday, it would be very difficult for Lei Zhen to dodge this kind of attack, let alone this situation!
Red blood slid down from the thin sword with hot air, and Lei Zhen's vitality seemed to have come to an end, and as the thin sword quickly pulled away, he fell to the cold ground with a pop.
"Thunder...... True! β
Seeing this scene, the night night, whose consciousness had begun to dissipate a little bit, suddenly cried out like a real human being, and tears slipped from her eyes and dripped onto the ground-
The red waves of qi rose into the sky, beating wildly like a burning flame!
"Lei Zhen !!"
Not only night and night, but even Lei Zhen's body was vibrating with flame-like red qi waves, and the wounds on his body were also being repaired little by little!
"It looks like this is the end of it, and the legendary-level stuff just doesn't make sense...... It's time for me to get down to business, and I have two gifts waiting for me. β
After seeing the changes that had taken place in Ye Ye and Lei Zhen, Chu Ge had no desire to continue watching and walked into the cave.
Let's go and receive those two SP values first!
