Chapter 18: Out-of-Order Puppets

"Huh......" Li Wei took a long breath and rubbed his neck, only feeling comfortable and refreshed.

Since coming to this world, a large number of negative emotions have accumulated in his chest, melancholy, depression, sorrow, homesickness, frustration, etc., like an invisible towering mountain, which makes people breathless.

All this time, Levi has been adjusting his mentality, but those emotions have not dissipated, they have only been well hidden, and the problem has not been fundamentally solved.

This sudden and vicious battle brought him a lot of scars, but on the other hand, it also released his clogged emotions, like a dam flooding, and the pressure was greatly reduced.

It was as if his soul had undergone a baptism, more relaxed, ethereal and pure.

"This Fio, double cool!" the second personality also opened his mouth, humming a small tune.

"Breathing?" Werner said in a dry, struggling voice.

His body has been semi-carbonized, but he is still alive, and his vitality is comparable to that of a cockroach.

"Aren't you dead yet, I'll give you a ride......" Levi raised his eyebrows, the five fingers of his right fist were constricted, and the evil fighting spirit gathered between his fingers, letting out a piercing scream like a beast's howl, "By the way, can you tell me what the book you are looking for?"

"Do you think I'll tell you?" Werner sneered, "unless you ......"

His eyes were dark, and he had no face to bargain.

Well, "faceless" in the biological sense.

Rumble~~

Levi raised his arm, Werner's head had been smashed, and his body was still twitching, like an insect that had lost its head, and his vitality was terrifyingly tenacious.

"Don't you know? The villain died from talking too much...... Levi shook his hand, throwing away the blood stains and brains between his fingers, and then found a tree to rub back and forth, wiping his right hand clean.

His expression suddenly froze, showing alarm and surprise.

In the midst of Werner's corpse, a twisted rune swayed and floated, like a firefly flying in the night, staggering towards him.

Levi was about to dodge, but suddenly noticed something, and stood still, motionless.

Sure enough, the rune stumbled and swam in the air, but the target was not Levi, but the strange tale codex hanging from his waist, which crashed headlong into its cover and disappeared without a trace.

"What's going on? what's going on?" Levi was puzzled, and was about to untie the strange tale codex, when his ears moved, and he stopped.

Barking......

In the darkness, the barking of dogs and the sound of miscellaneous footsteps echoed, and in the distance, five or six magic lanterns flickered, hugging each other and leaning closely, rapidly approaching.

Like all the cops in the movies, they arrived at the right time.

"Ogre?" someone shouted, his tone filled with righteous indignation, "Stop, you ugly, dirty, disgusting monster, how dare you kill someone in the clouds?

"Wait, I'm human, a student of the Dawn Peak. Levi raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, "It's just an incarnation technique." ”

"Captain, don't shoot, it's my ......" The second personality should be a "performative personality", and I don't have any eyes at all, and I don't understand what "stopping" is.

"Levi?"

Levi was secretly worried when a familiar voice sounded, lifting his spirits.

It was Tom Matheson, the fat police officer.

"Yes, it's me!" Seeing the acquaintance, Levi was overjoyed, and immediately lifted the spell, his body shrank like a leaky balloon, and returned to his human form.

He pointed to the corpse and said, "This guy is Werner, he tried to sneak up on me, and I killed him." ”

"Is it really you?" asked the fat officer, gesturing for the others to put down their steam pistols, with a look of surprise on his face, "It looks completely different from last time, and why is it a two-headed ogre?"

"It's the same as rolling the dice, it's completely random. Levi shrugged his shoulders and didn't explain much, "Please inform the Demon Hunter Guild and ask them to send someone to verify the identity of the corpse." I remember, there is a reward for hunting the disciples of the Old Gods, right? By the way, my injuries, my torn clothes, and the walls should all be reimbursed by the public funds......

"Is the injury serious? I have some wound medicine, so hurry up and apply it. The fat officer asked with concern, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Are you very short of money?"

......

Pendulum loft.

Levi's room is now "three walls", as if it has become a "street view room", of course, it can no longer be inhabited. With the mediation of the police station, Mrs. Dafu reluctantly offered Levi another room, again next door to Blaise, another room.506

Fortunately, he didn't have any luggage, and as soon as he carried the small bag, the moving work was completed.

In the room, Levi searched vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no one around, he opened the strange tale codex.

Flipping through the codex, the page that reads "Murder Hut" is the mysterious and twisted rune!

"Is this what is called a 'narrative story?'" Levi cupped his chin and pondered, "but what's the use of this thing?"

Levi stretched out his fingers and stroked the strange runes that bulged out like braille on the page, rubbing them back and forth.

He shuddered.

The moment his fingers made contact with the rune, the rune melted again, turning into a stream of dark light, seeping into Levi's fingertips, all the way upward, and hitting his soul.

"What's going on?"

Li Wei was still in a daze, that rune fell into his soul, and it had formed a chemical reaction with the spell model of the "Evil Thought Cage", and there was a second metamorphosis!

It is still broken and reorganized, it is still a deep change at the level of "complete metamorphosis", and in a few breaths, the evil thought cage bids farewell to its own mother again and turns into another magic model.

"—out-of-order puppets?"

After a long silence, Levi let out a long breath with a complicated expression: "Does this have anything to do with the evil thought cage......?

He slowly got up, his expression serene, and his arms slowly spread out.

Levi began to cast spells.

Behind him, a dark vortex that continued to rotate condensed, and countless thin lines shot out from the vortex, pulling every inch of his musculoskeletal, forming a long river of horizontal lines.

There was a certain regular power hidden in the root lines, which infected his skin bit by bit, turning it into a very textured dark brown. On the dark brown skin, there are countless vein marks emerging, criss-crossing and coherent, like some kind of energy circuit extending in all directions.

Levi blinked.

At this moment, he really looks like a marionette.

However, Levi knows that he has a sense of autonomy and is not a marionette.

He raised his right hand, slowly clenched his five fingers into a fist, and studied it carefully.

Around the fist, the pulling white thread turned black, and there were also shadows floating on the skin lines on the fist, the back of the hand, the forearm, etc., and a vast ancient aura condensed in the fist, diffusing incomparable deep power.

"Oh?" Levi snorted lightly with a slight movement in his eyes.

That line is not used to manipulate him, but to infuse him with power. When Levi exerts force in a certain part of his body, the mysterious power from the vortex is channeled along the lines and flows along the lines of his body, causing his combat ability to skyrocket.

"It's not about vindictiveness, it's about being far better than vindictiveness!"

"Directly strengthens the body's functions, and the strength, agility, defense, resistance, etc. are greatly improved, which is even more exaggerated than when incarnating as a two-headed ogre, it is simply 'the god descends to earth'!"

"And the biggest strength is the addition of a special attribute 'out of order' to the attack, which can disrupt the flow of fighting energy and magic power, interfere with and interrupt the enemy's casting and combat skills, and the effect is extraordinary in actual combat. ”

Levi self-assessed, with strengths and weaknesses listed one by one.

"And the biggest flaw is 'recovery'. ”

"In the state of a disordered puppet, I am no different from a dead puppet, I will completely lose my ability to heal, and the recovery potion and healing spells will not work, once I am injured, the wound will not heal, and I will not stop bleeding. Therefore, a little bruise can lead to excessive blood loss. ”

"There is no good solution to this defect, the only thing that works is not to get hurt. ”

He pondered, bent his back slightly, exerted force under his feet, and his figure ran quickly, repeatedly rehearsing the combat maneuvers in the room.

Rushing forward, retreating, rolling over, flashing and moving, Levi is frighteningly fast both under his feet and in his hands, much faster than the "line puppet", and many afterimage lines are pulled out behind him, and after floating for a long time, he disperses quietly.

Different from the flexible and treacherous "line puppet", Levi's movements are a little rigid and rigid, like a puppet, every move is very stiff, and even easy to predict.

However, although his posture is rigid and stupid, his movements are swift and powerful, and he punches and kicks out, all like an ancient giant wielding a war hammer, and the weather is violent and irresistible.

With the practice of the moves, up and down around Levi, a dark aura swirled and lingered, condensing into the shape of an ancient worm, very similar to the giant sea monster in "Extreme Deep Cold" with a huge mouth of twisted tentacles, diffusing the meaning of cold and lonely, up and down, extremely weird.

The Dark Worm floats in the air, and a ripple-like twisting arc is faintly born in the void, which is not an illusion, but a vision of a disrupted flow of elements, which is called "out of order".

"This spell is very powerful, quite powerful!" Levi stood with his hands closed, rubbing his chin, and suddenly showed an embarrassed smile, "However, no matter how you look at it, it is more like a martial artist's methods, similar to 'madness', 'Heroic Spirit Possession' and the like...... And I'm a mage! What is this? off the beaten path?"

"Forget it, it's not bad to be a genius, it's not bad to be a ghost. ”

He paused, and finally resigned himself to his fate.

Levi's heart also has a lot of balance: a risk, a reward, according to the risk-reward ratio, and the fierce battle with Werner is not a loss.

"I just don't know, what level will the 'off-line puppet' be evaluated?" he rubbed the side of his neck, feeling a little heavy, as if the head hadn't disappeared, "Compared with the evil thought cage, its strengths are more prominent, but its shortcomings are much smaller, at least it won't have a second personality with a broken mouth." ”

Levi had made up his mind to go to the council and present his new spell.

This is a helpless move.

The course of "Introduction to the Circle" was imminent, but he had not yet made up the tuition fees. Although the Demon Hunter Guild will issue bonuses and compensation, the review procedures are complicated, and it will not be issued for a while.

In desperation, Levi could only choose to present a new spell, even if he knew in his heart that once he presented it, it would be difficult for him to take off his hat as a "ghost".

"Fame is false, but benefits are real. He clutched his chest and gave himself a physical and psychological massage, "Besides, ghosts are at least better than waste materials......
