Chapter 92: Puppet Show 5
The rich man looked at the puppets with a twinkle in his eyes.
It seems that the actions of these puppets have made him see a bright future for himself.
The puppets moved up and gathered around the rich man.
Mo Xing's heart suddenly rose with an ominous premonition.
The picture in front of me seems familiar.
"Old ...... Master! ”
Don't wake up and subconsciously call the rich man.
The rich man looked at the puppets around him, his face excited, and he didn't care about Mo Xing's words at all.
Until the puppets reached out to him and began to grab his limbs.
"Sir! Be careful! ”
Mo Xing yelled.
The rich man also began to wake up.
He used brute force to try to break free from the puppets.
The puppets began to bind his joints and press down on his body, making it impossible for the rich man to exert his strength.
Mo Xing didn't think much about it, and wanted to rush over to help the rich man.
A roar rang out.
The rich man revealed his true form and scattered the puppets.
He lifted his foot to step on the golems and swept them with his nose.
The golems are extremely agile in their movements, jumping up and down.
The rich man's movements were sluggish and clumsy compared to them, and he was helpless to be restrained by the puppets.
Mo Xing rushed over, picked up the thick deadbolt of the warehouse door, and swept it indiscriminately.
Several puppets were knocked to the ground by Mo Xing, but they quickly stood up.
Some of the puppets seemed to notice Mo Xing and began to surround him.
Mo Xing began to retreat.
He didn't have much skill, and he was terrified in the face of these terrible villains.
He fought and retreated, and ran out of the storeroom.
The puppets chased them out, and one by one they moved flexibly and flew off the wall.
Mo Xing used everything he could find to fight the puppets and ran towards the gate of the mansion.
He's going outside to call for help.
The puppets chased him after him, forcing him to change direction.
He had to make a roundabout run around the house, waiting for an opportunity to destroy the puppets.
However, Mo Xing was no match for these puppets at all.
They are agile, tireless, and exceptionally resilient.
What's more, these puppets don't feel anything, they don't know pain.
Even if they are hit, they will get up right away.
Mo Xing was chased by the puppets and gradually lost his strength.
He slowed down, was overtaken by the golems, and fell to the ground.
Mo Xing watched as these puppets pressed against his body and began to extract white breath from his body.
Mo Xing felt that his body was rapidly weakening.
He was chilled and his consciousness became blurred.
Memories of the past, like a picture scroll, flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, everything came to an abrupt end.
The golems stopped.
They jumped down from Mo Xing one after another and slowly walked towards the warehouse.
Mo Xing was like a rescued drowning man, gasping for breath.
His consciousness gradually returned.
Despite his weakness, he was still shocked by the puppets' behavior and staggered after him.
Mo Xing followed the puppets to the treasury and saw the rich man lying on the ground.
His originally strong elephant body had shrunk and shrunk as if it had withered, and his complexion had turned pale.
The golems relined up and returned to where they had originally stood.
As if a task had been completed, it was back on standby.
Mo Xing knelt beside the rich man, looking at his unrecognizable face, and his heart was mixed.
He began to cry.
But I don't know whether to mourn the fate of the rich man, or to lament the rest of his life.
Maybe it's a bit of both.
He cried and cried and felt dizzy.
The puppets have sucked too much of his anger out of him, and his exhaustion has reached its limit.
Mo woke up and fell to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.
This sleep, so tired that there is no dream to do.
When Mo Xing was woken up, the sky was already shining.
The musician looked at him with a concerned expression.
"Butler, this ...... What's going on? ”
Mo Xing sighed and shook his head, and sat up with the help of the musician.
Mo Xing told the musician everything.
When the musician heard this, his face was shocked.
"This ...... Could this be your master? The musician pointed to the elephant's carcass and wondered.
Mo Xing nodded, and the musician sighed.
"Why are these puppets of yours so murderous?" Mo Xing asked.
This is his biggest doubt.
The musician sighed and said, "This is a family tradition. If someone has a bad heart towards the puppet, the puppet will suck the spirit away. As for the souls in this puppet, they also included some lonely souls and wild ghosts who had died. They are not allowed to be born beyond birth, wander in the world, and have many births. We do this because we want to make a difference. ”
Mo Xing nodded.
At Mo Xing's request, the musician manipulated the puppet and dug a deep pit in the backyard of the house to bury the rich man's body.
"I don't know, butler, where are you going to go in the future?" The musician asked.
Mo Xing said: "I plan to leave here and go to the outside world to see." ”
"Then you'll come with me, won't you?"
Mo Xing shook his head and refused the musician's invitation.
Actually, he didn't want to go anywhere at all.
His real idea was to go back to the mountains and forests.
He felt that the world was too complicated.
The musician didn't force it. Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early and there was no one outside, he left the town with the puppet.
Mo Xing tidied up the things in the house.
He looked at the mansion in front of him, and everything seemed like a world away.
I don't know, what will others think when someone suddenly goes to the empty building?
Maybe it is discovered by mortals, and it will be associated with making up a haunted mansion and turning it into a legend to pass on.
Mo Xing stood in the vestibule of the house and heard someone call his name.
It was a squirrel who found out the news from the mountains and forests, and came back to tell Mo Xing.
What the squirrel brought was a message of warning.
Recently, a large youkai returned from the outside world to visit his homeland in the mountains and forests.
He had a great conversation with the creatures of the mountains.
Hearing the squirrel's question, he was amazed.
He told the squirrel that there is a secret technique called Lubanmen in this world, and there are many strange tricks and tricks.
Among them is a puppet made of mortal souls that can move like a human.
However, they need the vitality and soul of mortals as nourishment in order to function.
Under the pressure of the environment, the vast majority of magicians cannot blindly kill people.
Therefore, they will devise a clever plan to let the successful youkai take the bait themselves.
Youkai in human form often practice for hundreds of years.
They have cultivated by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the power in their souls is countless times beyond that of ordinary mortals.
Set up a plan to capture the soul of a youkai that can support a group of puppets for many years.
"You must be careful!"
After the squirrel finished speaking, he jumped away.
Mo Xing's brain went blank.
He had always had a doubt
In the dream, the puppets exude a black aura.
And the rich man will also be entangled with black gas.
This kind of ability of the rich man has never been seen before.
At first, he thought it was a hidden trick or a power of the rich man.
Now, he finally understood. It was a trick that the musician inadvertently taught to the rich man in order to get him hooked.
The musician's strategy made Mo Xing dumbfounded.
He slowly sat down on the ground, his brain pounding with countless thoughts.
After a long time, he let out a hysterical roar.
The roar rang outward, and soon disappeared between the vast heaven and earth.
