Chapter 84: The Puppeteer
The man's face seemed to be attached to the car window, Su Jiu'er, who had never seen such a strange scene, was already full of panic, Lin Chen moved his body slightly, and stopped between Su Jiu'er and the man.
He stared at the dead fish eyes outside the car window, but the afterglow fell on the fingers caught in the gap of the car door, word by word, "I'm sorry, I don't know." ”
"Don't you have a cell phone?"
The man got closer, and his fingers, hidden in the crack of the door, moved a few points towards the inside of the car.
Lin Chen's face became even more gloomy.
"Nope."
He said coldly.
"Oh."
The man was slow, as if it had taken a long time to react, and he said, "Let me check." ”
As soon as these words fell, the man seemed to have discovered a new continent, and his eyes were already full of ecstasy.
It was an almost paranoid joy, like a murderer discovering a new prey.
Lin Chen's hand had already moved to the position of the door handle, and he also smiled when he looked at the man's oozing smiling face.
"I'm sorry, I don't have that habit!"
When the words fell, he opened the car door suddenly, and kicked the man hard with a lightning-like kick, and the huge force directly knocked the man away, Lin Chen took the opportunity to close the car door, and the car suddenly broke out with a deafening roar with one foot on the accelerator.
Airplanes!
The moment it sounded like a low roar, the car was already moving forward.
The strong feeling of pushing his back made Su Jiu'er's face full of panic, and he hurriedly grabbed Lin Chen's arm and exclaimed: "You are crazy, just now you suddenly set off, aren't you afraid of hitting and killing that person?" ”
"People?"
Lin Chen sneered and said, "That's not a person. ”
Su Jiu'er, who was still blaming just now, immediately widened her eyes.
Not human?
What would that be!
"Puppet."
Lin Chen spoke slowly, his voice unusually cold: "We are being targeted by the puppeteer!" ”
It was only now that Lin Chen figured out why Li Zhengdao and Dongfang Bai showed such shocked expressions at the moment when he took over the task without hesitation.
Now he has just taken over the mission, and he has been targeted by those terrifying beings hidden in the shadows, and if the mission reaches a critical moment, the ghost knows what terrifying things will be encountered.
After all, just a puppeteer is enough for him.
That's a strange person from southern Xinjiang!
The conditions for becoming a puppeteer are very harsh, first of all, you must be a person who is riddled with diseases, but who is born hard, and all his parents and brothers are dead.
This is a strange rule, many people don't know what the reason is, but Lin Chen has found a few words from ancient books.
The ultimate mission of the puppeteer is to make a living puppet.
It is a kind of super puppet that is only inherited from the puppeteer faction, a living puppet, no different from a living person, and can even think independently and even have its own consciousness without the puppeteer's control.
This is fundamentally different from the puppets made by Senro.
Senluo's puppet is completely a drug that forcibly obliterates the consciousness of the living, making them a machine that only knows how to obey orders.
And the living puppets in the puppeteer's inheritance give life to the dead!
This is something that really hurts the heavens and the peace, and it is impossible for a person whose life is not strong enough to withstand the calamity in the underworld.
Those things, in Lin Chen's opinion, if you believe it, you don't believe it, but the puppeteer's inheritance is a complete madman in his eyes.
The things he saw just now already had the appearance of a human being, and the puppet master who was hidden in the shadows must be very powerful, at least, at the level of a grandmaster.
How terrifying a grandmaster-level puppet master was, Lin Chen really didn't dare to think about it, after all, a madman of this level might really shout out a puppet army at every turn.
If he was the only one in this situation, he might still be able to fight, but now, there is a big lady by his side who can't pick up his shoulders and can't lift his hands.
Su Jiu'er's safety must be ensured first.
"Sit tight!"
Lin Chen said, directly increasing the speed of the car to the limit.
The pointer on the speedometer had already soared into the red zone, and at this moment, five people suddenly rushed out of the alley in front of them.
Swift and glazed-eyed.
Another puppet!
"Be careful!"
Su Jiu'er was shocked, but Lin Chen scolded angrily and stepped on the accelerator.
Rumble!
The car erupted into a furious roar and slammed into the puppet in front of it.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound, and the five puppets made a muffled noise at the same time, two of them were directly crushed, and the remaining three, although they were incomplete, were still able to keep moving, and they grabbed the car with their hands, but their bodies drooping under the car tried to stand firmly, trying to drag the car with the strange force given to them by the puppeteer.
The speed of the car is slowly decreasing.
Su Jiu'er panicked, and Lin Chen's face became gloomy.
"Damn it!"
Scolding angrily, he saw more than a dozen puppets rushing out of the alley.
Under the control of the puppeteer, those things grabbed the body like crazy, and half of the puppet's body was attached to the car, and half of the body was constantly dragging underground, which made the weight of the car bigger and bigger, and slowly sparks appeared between the tires and the bearings.
The fault is already visible on the car's display.
"What kind of monsters are these!"
Su Jiu'er's face was full of surprise, and Lin Chen didn't have time to explain, so he hugged Su Jiu'er's waist, then turned around and kicked the car door fiercely.
Rumble!
The terrifying force caused the door to erupt with a muffled thud, and the golem that was clutching the door flew out.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Chen hugged Su Jiu'er's body tightly and rushed outside frantically.
After landing, the footsteps did not stop, and went straight to the alley ahead.
Seeing this, the puppets immediately chased after them.
At this moment, Lin Chen didn't have time to think about it, ignoring the soft touch coming from his shoulder, his speed was getting faster and faster.
Su Jiu'er's cry on his shoulder was intermittent, and his little face was flushed.
She took the moment to turn her head to take a look, and found that the golems with missing arms and legs were running without being affected in the slightest.
"Damn, madman!"
Even the highly educated eldest lady couldn't help but burst out in this strange situation in front of her.
Su Jiu'er felt that after today, this experience would definitely blow everyone up.
What is it to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, she was chased by a group of monsters with missing arms and legs in the middle of the night!
Lin Chen didn't have the same leisure and ease as Su Jiu'er.
The change in circumstances had proved his guess, this group of puppets had begun to take on a human form, and this kind of puppet was already considered a high-level puppet among the puppeteers, and this must have come from the hands of the puppet master.
Not to mention what kind of combat power such a group of puppets have, once they are dragged by this group of things, more and more puppets will inevitably rush out.
If you want to become a puppet grandmaster, the reserve of this kind of puppet must be at least more than three digits!
Surrounded by more than a hundred puppets that had no pain and had a hard body, Lin Chen thought that he was not yet capable of breaking out of the encirclement on the premise of protecting a weak lady.
Escape!
That's the only way to do it now.
The solemn color in his eyes became more and more intense, and Lin Chen had already increased his speed to the extreme.
Fortunately, in terms of speed, he completely exploded the group of puppets, but after a while, he had already come to a dead end.
"Hey, do you know the way!"
Lin Chen's face was black.
Fleeing in a hurry, he didn't even know where he was now.
His eyes were fixed on the open door on the side, Lin Chen scolded secretly and rushed out directly.
Moments later, the golems arrived at a rapid pace.
In a car farther away, a man holding a tablet has a gloomy expression.
"Damn, how did it suddenly disappear?"
Airplanes!
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a roar.
A motorcycle was already parked on the side.
In the car sat a man in a black trench coat with a scar on his eyebrow.
Scarface glanced at the man in the car and said, "Tang Xiao, how is the task completed?" ”
"Lost by those iron bumps."
The puppet grandmaster known as Tang Xiao looked unhappy, and when he heard this, Scarface's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he turned his head sharply and punched out.
Bang!
In the muffled sound, the part where the car and the fist came into contact had already appeared a huge depression, and Tang Xiao was so frightened that the tablet in his hand was thrown out.
Scarface grabbed Tang Xiao's collar and said, "What the are you going to do!" ”
"You can't solve a little-known little person, do you know that this is the young master's personal order, if something goes wrong, can you afford to be responsible!"
Scarface snorted coldly and said, "Or have you forgotten the young master's methods?" ”
Tang Xiao's face had become extremely ugly, and he hurriedly said: "How is it possible, don't worry, I will definitely find that person, he will definitely not escape!" ”
"It was better to do so!"
Scarface snorted coldly, he glanced at the time and said, "The time given by the young master is running out, you should know how important this time is for the young master, we still have to spend more time dealing with those difficult characters, we must not waste so much time on such a little person!" ”
"I understand, I'll go there myself."
Saying that, Tang Xiao hurriedly started the car.
At the same time, Lin Chen and Su Jiu'er had already hid in the warehouse next to the alley.
It was dark and there was a pungent smell all around.
Hiding in the narrow space, Su Jiu'er grabbed Lin Chen's hand tightly, with a panicked expression on her face.
Just as he was about to speak, Lin Chen hurriedly made a silent gesture.
The puppeteer is equivalent to an extension of the puppeteer's body, they speak here, the puppeteer can also hear, and once the puppeteer judges their position, the puppet will inevitably swarm, and at that time, all their previous efforts will be in vain.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen's expression became more and more solemn, and he lowered his voice and said, "You wait here, I'll take a look." ”
Su Jiu'er nodded hurriedly, and didn't dare to say anything.
Lin Chen slowly poked his head out of the corner, and the puppets outside were still patrolling, but they didn't find any trace of them.
Seeing this, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as he returned, a cold voice suddenly came.
"Two little ants, they are hiding here, they really make it easy for me to find!"
