Chapter 7 Persimmon should be pinched softly
Four night watchmen from Beckland's support, plus three night watchmen from Tinggen.
A total of seven people were crammed into the same carriage.
This will undoubtedly make the space inside the carriage very cramped.
Even the action of avoiding can be limited due to the space.
But even so, few people will relax their 'surveillance' of other people.
As soon as anyone's movements become jerky, the person next to him will remind him as soon as possible.
But even in this case.
Klein still couldn't help but be a little distracted.
"Ember, is he the ember in my impression?"
"But how is this possible! It's just a game, and even though I've traveled to a strange world, it's a real world and not a virtual reality game! β
"How could a person in a game appear alive in front of my eyes?"
"So is this really just an ordinary coincidence? But ......"
"Crane!"
Dunn pushed Klein, who had suddenly become stiff, and said in a deep voice, "Concentrate." β
"I'm sorry."
Crane shook his head and lowered his head with a wry smile.
It's a pity that there are too many people here, otherwise you can return to the black fog for divination.
Divination is whether he is the person in his impression.
"I want to open it."
Klein took a deep breath and silently explained to himself in the bottom of his heart, "Russell the Great may have played this game too, maybe the other party is just cosplaying?" Well, maybe it's because the other party's potions need to play the role of 'embers'? β
"Yes, maybe that's it, it's very likely!"
Crane was in good spirits, and having figured it all out, he stopped wandering and began to concentrate on the effects of '2-049'.
Not much.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of a building with the sign of the Tingen City Police Department on the door.
This is Riel Bieber's home, and it's the goal of their trip.
The group got off the bus one by one, and did not dare to relax their 'surveillance' of others halfway.
Al Hasson was the first to enter the house with the suitcase.
And at the same time, the box in his hand suddenly began to smash, even more violent than before!
It even makes one wonder if the box will be directly penetrated.
In the next moment, Klein and Duncan were affected almost at the same time.
They both reached out to each other, as if trying to push each other.
But sadly, both of them were affected at the same time.
However, it was not only the two of them who were still coming, and Lorota and Ember, who had been prepared, pushed them separately.
"Seal '2-049' has entered a berserk state, and it can be confirmed that Rare Bieber is a descendant of the Antigonus family."
El Hazen described it in a mechanical way.
"Once '2-049' encounters a descendant of the Antigonus family, even a little residual aura will quickly enter a berserk state, and the number of people affected will rise to two each time."
Ember, who had just pushed Klein, explained calmly.
"So, it's alive?"
Crane turned his head to look at Ember's face and couldn't help but ask.
If it had been in the past, he would have been very entangled in what was in this box.
But now, he's more entangled in Ember's identity.
Is he playing at all?
"Whew."
Al Hasen's tone was much more relaxed, "As long as this Riel Bieber doesn't leave Tingen, '2-049' can lead us to him." β
As they spoke, they went downstairs and got back to the carriage one by one.
After making sure there weren't too many pedestrians around, Al Hasson twisted the box's mechanical switch and unlocked the spiritual shackles.
The ferocious impact paused, and the entire carriage was silent, and the pins could be heard.
The iron-black box slowly opened, making a squeaky, souring sound.
Bang dang!
Suddenly, the box toppled over, and a thin, tan arm stretched out, only the length of a child's finger.
The two arms pressed forward in turn, and a strange tan puppet with obvious elbows, knuckles, and knees, a brown strip of oil-stained cloth wrapped in brown oil, and a reddish-yellow clown oil paint on its face appeared in front of everyone.
"This is '2-049'?"
Klein subconsciously thought, "How can there be such an ugly puppet?" β
'2-049' lifted his head, staring at Crane with pure black pupilless eyes.
He slowly cracked the corners of his stiff mouth into a clown-like smile.
As its mouth opened to reveal the dark and deep mouth inside, Klein's hairs stood on end, and a strong fear suddenly appeared in his heart for no reason.
Until.
The afterglow of his gaze saw Ember on the side, and Ember raised his hand.
Bounce!
"Bang!"
The puppet slumped to the ground, as if it had hit something and knocked itself down.
No doubt.
It seems to like Crane so much that it wants to 'eat him', so much so that it forgets there's an ember next to it.
And at the same time as exerting influence on Crane, it also exerts influence on Ember.
"Thank you......"
Crane stared with some trepidation at the somewhat funny puppet that sat on the floor of the carriage in a duck manner.
Just such a small thing, it almost killed him just now!
"It should."
Ember shook his head.
It's not time to fight the boss yet, but you can't let the NPC die at the hands of the mob.
Otherwise, there will be no one to help him resist the damage at that time.
"Click~"
It took a moment for the puppet to regain its strength, its palms alternately propped up on the floor of the carriage away from the embers.
Like a frog with its limbs reversed, it's funny and ridiculous.
Combined with its eerie abilities and nightmarish appearance, no one will want to laugh.
"Click!"
The puppet stood up with his hands and feet, and then forcibly turned his hands and feet one hundred and eighty degrees.
Only one head was left staring at the embers, and in the end, he even turned his head around, and jumped with both hands and feetβ
It tried to jump out of the carriage and run off into the distance.
Then, it was grabbed back by a large hand covered in leather armor.
"Keep up!"
Dunn pointed in the direction the puppet wanted to flee and commanded in a deep voice.
Leonard, who was driving, immediately drove the horses in the direction the puppet wanted to flee.
The embers in the carriage had released the puppet, and the puppet had adjusted its direction.
I wanted to jump out of the carriage faster than before.
But if you don't take the last step, you will be ruthlessly caught.
Depending on the direction the puppet was trying to flee, Leonard adjusted the direction of the carriage again and again.
The carriage sped fast, and soon drove into the dock area, until it came to the place where the warehouse was gathered.
After several laps around, the direction in which the puppet tried to escape was always the sameβ
He wanted to go to the gray-white warehouse in the innermost part.
"This is it!"
Al Hasson's expression became serious, and he nodded at the embers who were holding the puppet, and assisted the other party in re-stuffing the puppet into the iron-black box, and the sound of violent impact was heard again in the iron box.
He then struggled to snap on the mechanical switch, then infused with spirituality, driving the stars and red moon symbols on the iron box.
Although it is not possible to completely isolate its effects, it can at least prevent it from escaping and harming others.
"Get out of the car."
Seeing them do all this, Dunnes's deep and mellow voice rang out, "Be careful, there's a good chance that Rare Biber is around here." β
"Also, remember not to take your eyes off the people around you."
"Nope."
Al Hasson shook his head and looked at Ember in Dunn's quizzing gaze, "Ember, how do you feel?" β
"No problem."
Ember bowed slightly, and said calmly, "I'm sure I can 100% insulate the effects of '2-049'. β
"Okay."
Al Hasson breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Ember walks ahead with the box, and the others must make sure to stay within five meters of him!" β
"Huh?"
Leonard's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Dunn.
In his opinion, holding '2-049' alone alone is tantamount to looking for death!
"Do as he says."
Dunn was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.
He trusted Al Hasson's judgment, and he believed that the young man named Ember wouldn't joke with his life.
Again.
On the one hand, without the interference of '2-049', they can indeed let go of the battle more boldly.
On the other hand, even if there is an accident, the distance of five meters is enough for them to carry out rescue.
PS: '2-049' exhibits a certain 'alive' trait.
And as can be seen from some details of the original book, it also knows that persimmons should be pinched softly.
So Xiao Ke, who only has sequence 9 and is also a soothsayer, has been hit significantly more times than others-
Of course, it can also be said to be survivorship bias.
However, there is a clear description in the original book that "just by coming from the underground to the carriage, the seal "'2-049'" caused six slowdowns, of which he obtained twice'.
There are six people in total, and they can't be affected consecutively, which means that one person can only be affected three times at most.
As a result, Ke was affected twice, and it just so happened that he was the ninth of all the people.
I can't think of anything other than picking soft persimmons to pinch......
Well, of course, it may also be because the soothsayers are 'sympathetic'.
