In the study.

Jing Chen looked at some of the posts on the Divine Revelation Platform that had been banned, about the Fountain of Youth, and the Dream Dagger,

After fiddling with the dagger again, Jing Chen put the dagger down.

And then I don't feel at ease.

He simply shoved the dagger into the drawer of his desk, and he took some potions materials to the living room.

The curtains in the living room were closed, and the whole room was submerged in shadows.

Jing Chen raised his head and looked out of the house, then at the pile of potions in front of him.

Jing Chen has a total of four potion recipes, 'Lord of Shadows', 'Lord of Flesh', 'Puppet', and 'Spirit of Words'.

The first two have already been used, especially the Lord of Flesh and Blood, after using the blood of the suspected Lord of Flesh and Blood as the main material, the flesh and blood ability he has mastered is much stronger.

and the last two, which have not been taken for the time being,

Puppets, in particular, may not have been taken by anyone by time.

At this moment, what was in front of Jing Chen was the main ingredient of the 'puppet' potion, the human face, the heart of the tree, and the other materials in the potion formula.

Today, after Yu Huanting actively and eagerly passed on some of the last materials,

Jing Chen was also ready to configure this 'puppet' potion and take it.

The reason why he left the dream dagger in the study, and he ran to the living room with the materials,

Isn't this afraid that the dream dagger will affect him when he takes the potion? What if you bewitch him between potions.

Although he was not affected by contamination or loss of control when he took the potion, he did not feel any side effects...... But what if.

Thinking about it, Jing Chen began to configure this 'puppet' potion according to the configuration process in the 'puppet' potion recipe.

The first is the main material. The face of the human heart.

The material looks like the heart of a person or a large animal.

It's just that there are a few small holes and uneven outlines on it, and it seems that there is a human face on it.

Even, this has long been out of the heart of the human face tree man, and it still contains abundant vitality, still beating, with a dull heartbeat.

I took a glass container next to it, and threw my still beating heart into it.

Then pour a liquid-like ingredient into it, and then hands, man-eating grass, sunflowers, concentric grass, puppet flowers......

After putting these materials in turn, the beating heart of the human-faced tree began to melt slowly,

Other materials are also incorporated in the process.

Until the end, Jing Chen got what appeared to be half a cup of liquid in a glass container, but it was actually a whole 'puppet' potion.

The potion doesn't look like the bright red color of the main ingredient.

Instead, it was a gray mist of liquid, wrapped around a slightly glowing point of light.

It looks weird, distorted, and magical.

Picking up the glass container containing the potion, Jing Chen shook it slightly, then paused,

Then he turned his head and looked around, and found the blood eagle cowering at the door of the study, looking at Riton.

“…… Come here. ”

Jing Chen beckoned the Blood Eagle over.

The blood eagle rose slightly, fell again, and accurately reached Jing Chen.

"Twenty seconds later, drink this thing...... It's when the hour hand comes here, and you drink it......"

"Well, this one might be a little hard for you."

Jing Chen looked at the Blood Eagle and spoke, not sure if the Blood Eagle could understand,

This Blood Eagle, which is probably influenced by the Lord of Flesh or has some connection to the Lord of Flesh, is quite smart.

Far beyond the average animal.

But Jing Chen didn't know if the Blood Eagle could complete such a precise order.

"Forget it...... Take this one to you and drink it, drink it. ”

Jing Chen put the glass container containing the puppet potion in his hand in front of the blood eagle,

At the same time, he was ready, focused, and looked at the Blood Eagle.

Blood Eagle listened to Jing Chen's words, watched Jing Chen's movements, and first raised his head to look at him.

Then he moved forward, and the pointed beak began to stick into the open glass container.

But it comes close to ...... Just as the Blood Eagle's beak was about to touch the potion in the glass container,

A big hand struck, pinched the mouth of the blood eagle, and pulled it out again with its head.

“…… Well, it's none of your business. I'll give you two more buns in the evening. ”

The outstretched hand naturally belongs to Jing Chen.

The Blood Eagle, who had broken away from Jing Chen's clutches, raised his head and looked at Jing Chen again, then lowered his head again and walked away silently.

Jing Chen looked at the potion in front of him again, and his eyes showed some doubts.

Earlier, he had done a small experiment with the Blood Eagle.

But in the future he peeked into, Blood Eagle didn't react at anything after taking the potion.

There are no side effects and no changes.

Did he fail with this potion?

Or is it simple, except for the Lord of Flesh potion, other potions are useless against the half-flesh creature of the Blood Eagle?

Jing Chen thought about it, and his hand had already picked up the potion.

Anyway, looking at it now, he didn't have any impact and risk of getting out of control when he took the potion.

The potion was put to his mouth, Jing Chen did not pause, and drank it directly.

Waiting for Jing Chen to put down the glass container again, the glass container was clean, and there was no trace of the potion left.

However, when Jing Chen drank it in his mouth, this potion did not have the viscous feeling he imagined.

Rather, it is like a clear spring.

After a pause, Jing Chen felt it carefully.

Well...... Sweet.

It felt like having a nice drink.

But immediately after, Jing Chen felt it carefully,

Feel the power that comes with potions.

The most basic thing is that after taking the potion, my physical fitness seems to have increased a lot.

Although there was no change in body shape, Jing Chen clenched his fists, and felt that his strength must have increased a lot.

And then there's the main ability of the puppet potion,

Can create a golem that can use its own abilities and be controlled remotely.

Jing Chen raised his head and looked in front of him, trying to use his ability.

Immediately after, in the empty space in front of him, at a speed visible to the naked eye, a figure gradually emerged,

The figure's face was exactly the same as Jing Chen's, but Jing Chen felt a little strange when he looked at it, and he readjusted it again, making the puppet's face look ordinary.

After the adjustment was completed, Jing Chen looked at the puppet opposite him in front of him, and then felt the ability brought by this puppet.

It feels a little weird...... The moment the puppet was created, it was as if he suddenly had an extra body.

He was able to see the perspective of the golem, felt the golem's limbs, and felt like an arm and finger, which was smooth.

But at the same time, everything he saw and felt in his own body was still there......

Just like now, he can see both the puppet in his eyes and the puppet in his eyes.

It's a strange and peculiar state.

Obviously, I feel both the puppet and myself at the same time, but it doesn't seem to conflict...... Even Jing Chen felt that he could control the puppet and himself at the same time.

So, Jing Chen gave it a try.

"Winter ......"

He stretched out his hand and smashed his fist at the puppet,

At the same time, the puppet raised its hand and blocked its own arm.

There was a crash and a muffled sound.

This was all done in an instant, with Jing Chen's simultaneous operation.

This strange feeling...... It's no wonder that the potion recipe says that people who use this ability are prone to becoming addicted to puppets.

Even if Jing Chen didn't feel the serious side effects, he felt that this feeling of distraction was a bit special.

But...... If you feel it carefully, there is still a difference between the puppet and itself, and the puppet is more like an extra hand.

Jing Chen felt it carefully, and then tried to use his own ability with a puppet.

First, the puppet shadow attached itself to the shadow on the wall, then broke away from the shadow, and then used the flesh ability to directly twist the remaining glass container into a pile of flesh and blood.

Falling to the ground and even writhing.

This feeling is still like a finger, extremely smooth, and there are no obstacles because it is a puppet.

This feeling...... Not bad.

and then control the puppet's ability to use it, and wipe out the flesh and blood on the ground.

Jing Chen also wanted to try if he could nest the doll and let the puppet use the puppet ability again.

But the nesting doll failed, I don't know if it was because it was just the first time to take the potion, or because it was just not a nesting doll.

Golems can no longer use puppet abilities.

At the end of the test, Jing Chen sat down on the sofa in the living room and withdrew the use of the puppet's ability.

Immediately after, the puppet disappeared directly, and the other perspective that Jing Chen felt also disappeared at the same time.

This puppet potion is good......

For the more people who have taken enough potions, the stronger they are, a puppet that can shoot at the same time,

It is not equivalent to a direct doubling of strength, in fact, it may be more than that.

But for Jing Chen, what is more important is ...... If there is any danger in the future, you can directly control the puppet to investigate.

And he himself stayed in the house.

In addition, it seems that your two identities can also appear at the same time?

Jing Chen sat on the sofa in the living room, thinking.

……

“…… What are you doing, old man? ”

“…… I want to save our grandson. ”

On the edge of Lintian City, near the foot of the Longnan Mountains, there is a village.

There are not many people in the village, but there are twenty or thirty families living there, most of whom are elderly.

Near the end of the village, on the riverside, there are families living alone.

There are elderly people in the house.

At this moment, the old lady was holding a hoe and a handful of vegetables in the other hand, and had just returned from the field.

When he opened the door of the hall with the key, he saw his old man kneeling in front of the offering table, and there was a candle lit on the offering table.

In the middle of the candle, there is a knife.

The old man was kowtowing to the knife on the table, his eyes and face reddening as he repeated something over and over again.

This somewhat scary scene made the old lady can't help but lift her heart and ask in a shouting voice.

When the old man heard the voice, he stopped his movements, turned his head to look at his old lady, his eyes were a little red, and he replied in a hoarse voice.

Hearing this, the old lady stopped all her movements and stopped,

Looking at his old man again, with some worry in his eyes, and some extravagant hope,

"Is there really a way?"

The old lady asked, her voice a little low.

She knows that her old man is capable, but her grandson has been gone for many years.

It was three years ago, when my grandson was on summer vacation.

The son and daughter-in-law still had to go to work, so they sent their grandson to them and waited for the start of school to pick them up.

At the beginning, it was okay, the grandson followed his grandparents, either went up the mountain, followed the digging when digging mushrooms, found some wild fruits for him to eat from time to time, smiled when it was sweet, and frowned when it was sour.

Either they go down to the ground, and the adults dig the ground and follow them, and finally they are covered in mud, and their faces are like big cats.

The house of the two old people was already deserted, and there was a child who was lively and happy.

But it wasn't until noon that it was all over.

On that day, it rained heavily the night before and cleared the next day.

At noon, the old man and the old lady were busy with lunch in the kitchen.

The child was playing with the dog in the neighbor's yard and chasing after the wagging tail.

There were also neighbors who helped to watch, and the old lady also came out from time to time to look again.

It's just that the front is fine, and when the old lady is waiting for another dish, she suddenly heard a dog barking outside the door.

Wait for her to come out and see when she can't figure out the situation.

The neighbor's neighbor was gone, her grandson was gone, and the dog was barking at her doorstep.

At last...... In a hurry, he called the whole village to help him find it.

In the afternoon, it was found in the river downstream of the village.

There was a lot of water in the river, and my grandson didn't know how to fall into it.

The last rush, rushed downstream to a bend in the ground, and was hung by a tree branch.

Since then...... The son and daughter-in-law are divorced, and the son has not been back for several years.

When my son usually called, when they called, they were talking and talking, and in the end neither side knew what to say.

In the house,

Sometimes the old lady woke up in the middle of the night, and when she could not see the old man, she hurried out, and she could see the old man sitting on the threshold of the hall and blowing power, knocking on his dry tobacco stick, and not saying a word.

As for her, she slowly moved back, and she couldn't stop wiping her tears while sitting on the edge of the bed.

Half a year ago, the old man seemed to have some special skills.

I also earned some money, but the house at home was never renovated, and I didn't buy anything new at home, but I just saved it and said it was left to my children.

“…… There is a way...... There must be a way. ”

The old man listened to his wife's whispered question, with some madness in his eyes.

A year ago, for some accidental reason, he took something almost like a potion.

Gained some special abilities and entered the terrible mysterious world.

His wife didn't understand these things, and she hadn't taken potions, but she knew about him.

The old man was a capable man, he studied for a few years when he was young, worked as a barefoot doctor when he was young, and also served as the head of the village.

After acquiring some special abilities, even though I am older, I still try my best to keep in touch with other people who also have special abilities.

Moreover, he is willing to take risks...... Start by knowing the mysterious world...... He had only one wish, to save his grandson.

And some time ago, the matter of the dream dagger still affected him.

While most people who are somewhat knowledgeable about the occult have speculated that this thing can be costly and have serious side effects.

But what does it matter to him.

From the moment his grandson died, he also died.

If he can bring his grandson back to life, even if it is the price of fighting again, it is to kill him, to turn him into a monster, and what he will become, he doesn't care.

He just wants his grandchildren to come back to life.

“…… Is there anything I can help me with? ”

The old lady listened to her wife's words and looked at her wife's red-eyed appearance,

After a pause, he asked in a whisper.

She and her wife are actually the same...... Although she doesn't have special abilities, as long as she can resurrect her grandson.

She is also willing to give everything.

The old man had madness in his eyes, red eyes, listened to the old lady's words, turned his head to look at her,

He was silent for a while, and then he said to his wife,

“…… You also kneel with me. Recite with me, 'Dream Dagger' and 'Wish Dagger'"

"I'm willing to do whatever it takes...... I only hope that you will come and fulfill my humble wish. ”

The old man frantically wanted to use the dream dagger to fulfill his crazy dream.

But he didn't have a dream dagger in his hand.

But that's okay...... He also knows about the memetic nature of mysterious items and mysterious messages.

From the moment he knew about the Dream Dagger, he had some kind of connection with such a mysterious object, or message.

If he could use it, the dagger would appear to him sooner or later at his call.

"Good ......"

Didn't say anything about this strange prayer.

The old lady just answered.

Then he knelt down at the offering table.

“…… Dream Dagger...... Wishing Dagger...... I am willing to give everything I have and pray for your coming......"

"You are a great being who can grant all wishes."

"You are a great ...... who can make everything possible"

"Bell ......"

At this moment, a crisp voice sounded outside the house,

It seemed that something had fallen in the courtyard outside the house.

The old lady and the old man stopped praying.

The old man paused, then stood up.

"I'll take a look."
