21. Counterattack
The puppets were much heavier than I had imagined, and the fire not far away was so hot that I felt like I would either be crushed to death by the puppets, or roasted to death by the fire, or robbed of my soul by a god who came out of nowhere.
I tried struggling a little more, but it didn't work.
"Give up, since you have made your choice, then you must follow the arrangement of fate." A voice without any emotion in my intonation sounded in my head, it was unfamiliar, and the only thing I knew for sure was the person I wasn't talking to...... No, I should say that I haven't dealt with the god who spoke.
Da~Da~Da~ A gentle sound of wood hitting the floor came from in front of me, and I twisted my head with great difficulty and looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a puppet dressed like a prince in a ballet walking towards me.
The prince puppet was almost a meter tall, and the carving of the face was very delicate, but the pointed chin and exaggerated smiling face protruding forward gave people the same strange feeling, and its carving style was completely different from the other puppets in Mao Xiansheng's puppet workshop, and it was also completely different from the other puppets in the room.
"You're the demon in the box?" I asked with a bite in my mouth.
"Wrong, wrong, wrong!" The prince puppet didn't speak, but its voice echoed directly in my head, "If you look at the definition in your head, I am not a devil, but a god." ”
"You're rummaging through your memories?"
"So to speak! However, I was really surprised that the person with the key would suddenly appear in front of me and offer me a soul trade, which really saved me a lot of trouble. In addition, there are really a lot of good things in your memory, but I didn't expect Xifushen to have this kind of ambition, it seems that she has been in contact with people for too long, and she has been affected too much. ”
"What are you going to do with me?" I asked.
"It doesn't seem like I need to answer that question, does it? You already know the answer in your heart. The prince puppet said as he approached me.
Indeed, I didn't need an answer, I already knew what would happen if I was caught, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly and so suddenly. If I hadn't chosen to run away just now, maybe things would have changed, but I chose to trap myself in this room, I'm stupid!
"You're wrong about that." Like the other gods I've confronted, the prince puppet began to use mind-reading on me, "You didn't leave this house for the right choice, don't you know that your every move is under my control from the moment you get the box?" Have you forgotten who put the box back in your hands? ”
"Is that you?"
"Of course, who else but me? It's a great way to collect souls, people are always so greedy, and the more greedy people are, the more mellow the taste of souls, and I'm really a little reluctant to leave here! But there is no way, you still have to go when you should go, now I will free you, let you free yourself from hemophilia, rest assured, soon, and it doesn't hurt at all. ”
With that, the prince puppet came to my eyes, and one of its wooden hands pressed lightly on top of my head.
In an instant, my vision was completely flipped upside down, and I could see my body clearly, and I could see the way I was crushed to the ground by many puppets—my soul had shifted, to another place, to another body with a very low point of view, I think it was the body of the prince puppet.
I tried to move my hands and feet, but it didn't make any sense because I couldn't feel my body or limbs at all, and my sense of touch was completely gone.
At this moment, the puppets that had been pressing on "me" jumped off "me" one after another, and then "I" also got up from the ground again.
It was a very strange feeling, I looked at myself from a different angle, and when I looked at the strange expression on my face, I knew that the "me" standing on the other side was not me, but another soul living in it.
"The thunder will not disappear from this shijie, although I took your soul, but the shell of the thunder will spend the rest of your life for you, your family will not be sad and sad, and your wife will also be taken care of by 'you', I am a merciful god, so now you can safely agree to give my soul to me, right?"
"Peace of mind? Over to you? I asked, surprised.
Even though I can't feel the mouth at the moment, I asked for a sound, but I don't know where it came from.
"Do you want your family to hear about your death? Do you want Shu Xin to wait for you for eight years, and Zuihou only wait for one of your corpses? ”
This guy started using Mind Attack on me, but he clearly missed the point of my problem.
From the moon to the god of good fortune, to the big black sky and the goddess of youth in Norse mythology, these guys have never talked to me well when dealing with me, let alone played any bargaining, and they directly want to take my life and take my soul as soon as they come up. But now that I have obviously fallen into the hands of this "box god", he did not attack me, but discussed with me, so that I could give my soul to him with peace of mind.
Is this weishenme?
The answer seems obvious!
I don't think these gods would be so kind, and the reason why he is talking nonsense with me here is simply because he can't do anything directly to my soul, and there must be something in the middle.
What could this thing be? Is that the wishing box? Is it the special identity of his puppet? Or is it the special fire tattoo that Loki left on me?
If it was really the tattoo that was blocking it, then Qiao Wei should not be controlled, but Qiao Wei beat me just now.
What is it exactly?
I thought about it with a dull head, and I didn't care if my thoughts had been understood by the box god.
"I appreciate your ability to think, but your thoughts are all wrong, your soul is already in my hands, I just want to leave you a more retreat, don't you want to appreciate it?" The box god started talking in my head again, but I wasn't going to pay any attention to him.
"Stop resisting uselessly, it's not good for you at all! I'll give you one more chance to choose, hand over your soul, or I'll throw your body into the fire!" "Finally, the box god doesn't play soft to hard, but this also proves that my conjecture is right, he can't take my soul!
But things didn't turn out in my favor because I had made the right inferences, and "I" began to turn around and walk towards the fire at the bedroom door, and it seemed that the box god really intended to burn my body!
"You have only two choices: either give me your soul obediently, and I promise to let your body go back to your parents and marry your girlfriend; Either I'll burn your body and keep your soul trapped in a puppet forever, and you won't want to be a human being again in your life, even without you, I still have a way to open that door! ”
"If you kind, let me out and go head-to-head with you!" I cursed angrily, but that didn't stop my body from continuing towards the fire.
Seeing that "I" was about to step into the fire, suddenly a person jumped out of the wall of fire in the bedroom! The man slammed my body to the ground, then got up and rushed towards me—the puppet containing my soul, to be exact.
The person who rushed over was not Qiao Wei, but Mao Xiankang, and I clearly saw his feet flying towards my eyes, and then the whole shijie also spun around.
After a series of shocks, my vision suddenly returned to normal, and my limbs regained their instincts - I was back, back in my body!
I quickly got up from the ground, and then ran quickly to the prince puppet that Mao Xiankang had kicked in. The puppet struggled to stand up, and the other puppets in the living room also rushed towards me to stop me, but now I am different from just now, Qiao Wei's punch and kick stamina has disappeared, my strength is back, plus my anger now has nothing to stop me!
Before the puppet in the living room approached me, I grabbed the prince puppet's leg and used it as a weapon to attack the other puppets in the living room.
It is estimated that the box god is also afraid that his body will be damaged, and the puppets who were about to rush over to my advantage just now all retreated backwards to avoid it.
They've avoided it, and I'm not going to stop there!
"You just said you were going to burn me, didn't you? I'll burn you first!! ”
"Don't! Wait a minute! I can make it happen for you, don't! Other! "The box god started begging for mercy in my head, but now it's useless for him to say anything.
Threaten me? Give me death!!
I shook my hand vigorously, and the prince puppet swooped into the roaring fire.
