A feeling of emptiness echoes back into the palm of your hand, as if there is nothing in front of you.

When the puppet looked up, he saw that the old wooden door in front of it was gradually disappearing, revealing a different scene.

"Is this an illusion?"

Brian, who was hiding behind the counter in the front hall of the performance troupe, wondered, and then saw a figure flying out of the utility room through the puppet.

He didn't have time to control the puppet to dodge, and he ate a punch from the figure, and the puppet fell to the ground in the backyard.

The sudden scene made Brian understand that the enemy was not far away, and the danger had never left.

He was just about to control the puppet to get up and fight back, when he suddenly felt a chill pass through the puppet to himself.

The picture of the eyes instantly turned gray and gradually became normal, but the content in it was completely different from before, and it had become a small Besano, which was quite luxurious, and Brian himself was standing in the hall of Besino.

Just a little bit of looking around, Brian knew where it was.

It was a place he once knew so well, but now he had never been to — the home of Borg Wallis.

"Welcome back, Brian ......"

A terrifying smile appeared out of thin air in the Besano Hall, causing the temperature around to drop a little.

Brian turned his head to look and saw the most terrifying scene in his memory.

Mr. Conrad, covered in sticky tentacles, and Lady Lydia, whose body had been rotting for a long time, were looking at him with crimson and hostile eyes.

Brian took a few steps back, his eyes fixed on the front, his expression becoming tense. But his mind was racing, wondering what was going on.

Now he is no longer an ordinary college student in the past, and he has a certain understanding of occultism, supernatural power, and "professionalism".

Soon, he had an idea.

The scene you find in front of you is either some kind of illusion or a special space, but no matter what the scene in front of you is, it is always applied to the puppet and transmitted to itself through the puppet.

Then as long as you cut off the connection with the puppet, it is possible to get out of the current encounter.

"Brian, why are you still standing there and not talking!" At this moment, Mr. Conrad's tentacles flew and he asked a question with concern, but his tone was not good, and he seemed to be slowly becoming insane.

Brian smiled apologetically, lowered his body slightly, and said to the two elders in front of him, "I'm sorry......"

As the words fell, everything began to crumble in front of him, as if it had just been an earthquake, and everything was gradually destroyed, including Mr. Conrad and Ms. Lydia.

A sense of fall came, and Brian felt like he was falling off a cliff until he returned to reality.

Looking at everything familiar around him, Brian didn't hesitate in the slightest

He took control of the puppet in an instant, and this time he was not affected in the slightest.

Then, through the vision of the puppet's feedback, he saw a young man standing beside him.

The young man was handsome, dressed in formal attire, with a silver-rimmed monocle in his left eye and a short knife in his hand, as if he would stab him at any moment.

Seeing this, Brian immediately manipulated the puppet to kick his legs and get up, attacking the young man while pulling away from him.

In addition to body movements, the puppet also uses supernatural abilities.

Its left hand, which was wearing a human skin glove, emitted a strong smell of blood, forming an invisible barrier that enveloped the entire Catherine Troupe.

This is the "blood barrier" of the "vampire", which has the function of strengthening the "vampire" and weakening other "professions", and also has a very strong restriction ability, which can isolate any transmission from inside and outside.

The reason why Brian knew and was able to use the "Blood Enchantment" was that the "Seal" gave the owner relevant information.

The puppet's right hand uses the "magician's" "exchange" ability.

The target of this exchange was the revolver on Brian's waist, and the thing used in exchange was a handful of air that he had just caught.

Since both things belonged to Brian, the "exchange" seemed extraordinarily smooth, and it was only one success.

The moment the puppeteer grasped the revolver, the muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at the young man's head.

"Bump! Touch! Touch! ”

The trigger was pulled, and three tentative bullets flew out with flames and sounds.

The puppet turned around and stabilized itself in the center of the backyard, and saw three bullets rusting in the air at a rapid speed, leaving only three black spots like stains when they hit the young man's body.

"Bullets are corrupted?"

Thinking in his heart, Brian saw the young man in front of him pat the stains on his clothes, and said with a surprised face: "I really didn't expect you to wake up so quickly." ”

Brian looked solemn and took a step back with his gun raised.

Although he knew that the pistol might not affect his mission, he still felt the most secure way to do it.

"Who are you?"

The young man held a knife in one hand and pinched his monocle in the other, and said with a smile: "My name is Christine." ”

"Huh?" Brian was stunned, originally he only asked a symbolic question, but he didn't expect the other party to answer this question.

Christine?

Haven't heard of it, is it a kana?

As I was thinking about it, there was a "creak" sound from behind the puppet as the wooden door opened.

The doll didn't turn his head and kept on guard against Christine, but Brian himself came to the edge of the passage between the front hall and the backyard and stole a look at the person who came out from behind the doll.

The man who poked his head out had long turquoise hair and turquoise eyes, like two extremely rare gems.

"It's Miss Lulu, she seems to be fine......"

Brian was overjoyed, and while silently retreating to the corner of the front hall to hide, he controlled the puppet's head and said without looking back, "Miss Lulu, how are you and Arnold?" ”

Lulu Seniore saw the situation clearly, nodded, and replied with a tense expression: "I didn't find this person before......"

She didn't dare to say that Arnold hadn't woken up yet, for fear of being heard by the enemy, so she could only vaguely state the situation.

Brian understood it instantly when he heard it, and immediately controlled the puppet and said "Got it".

At this time, Christine did not make a move, nor was she idle, but quietly observed the "blood enchantment".

After just a short period of observation, he found that the "Blood Enchantment" was not simple, at least it was a power at the level of a saint, and this was something that had never appeared in his intelligence, which had caused him to encounter the trouble he was in now.

It's a bit tricky!

Suddenly, the lining of Christine's clothes shook a few times, and a straw doll with a black base and eyes and mouth came out of it.

The straw doll has a smart demeanor, just like a real person. It grabbed the edge of Christine's coat and looked up at the "Blood Enchantment".

After a while, the straw doll's crimson eyes flickered, and then more than a dozen straw ropes thinner than a human hair stretched out from the top of her head, and the grass ropes crossed and shook each other, spreading straight to the edge of the barrier.

Everything happened quickly and very strangely, and it was only at this time that Brian realized that the other party was about to escape, so he immediately used human skin gloves to strengthen the strength of the "Blood Enchantment".

For a while, the surrounding area of the performance troupe became gray, completely isolated from the outside world.

Brian looked determined and acted decisively, but in doing so, he always had a concern. That is, now that the other party is left, do you have the ability to solve the other party?

But he didn't have time to think about it carefully, and he was unwilling to let Christine go directly, and finally it became what it is now.

As darkness descended out of thin air, it became the home of the "vampires", and indirectly became Brian's home turf.

The human skin gloves flashed with an imperceptible light, and the darkness slowly coalesced, forming a physical chain that headed straight for the seemingly fragile straw rope.

But when the two collide together, Brian's imaginary picture of the grass rope breaking does not appear, but is entangled with each other, showing a state of no distinction between strong and weak.

Feeling the pressure, the straw doll spoke in a weak and hoarse voice: "Stalling for time......"

"Alas~" Christine sighed, put the straw doll on the ground, and she clenched the knife and ejected it at once, attacking Brian directly, trying to interrupt his ability.

Seeing the flying figure, Brian didn't panic, and he didn't need to panic, he controlled the puppet and greeted it.

In the darkness, the two of them fists and feet fought, and the fight was extremely fierce, and from time to time there would be a dull sound of flesh colliding.

Obviously, the scene is a world without any light, but the two of them are as free to move as in the daytime, and they are not affected in the slightest.

During the fight, the puppet dodged a kick and rushed forward with a punch in his hand, and after colliding with Christine's elbow, it aimed its gun at Christine and deducted the trigger again.

The gunshot rang out, and the bullet came out of the chamber and shot straight through Christine's heart.

Christine snorted, staggered, and felt that she might fall to the ground at any time, and she couldn't let it go.

This made Brian's tense nerves relax suddenly, and the doll's eyes lost some attention when it was fed back to the doll.

Capturing this moment, Christine in the dark raised the corners of his mouth, and he threw himself forward, falling towards Brian with the short knife in his hand.

In just a second, the doll and Christine's body were attached together, and the short knife was directly inserted into the doll's abdomen.

Christine pushed her hand forward, and the short knife that pierced the puppet's body went in a lot at once.

Then he smiled close to the puppet's ear and spoke:

"How's it going, do you feel pain? Still feeling dizzy? ”

"Don't be afraid, these are normal, come, take a deep breath at my pace......"

"Hey~ This guy didn't die even if he was shot in the heart, it's too unscientific......" In the corner of the front hall of the performance troupe, Brian, who was hiding here, covered his abdomen with one hand and took a long breath.

The puppet has already taken more stab damage than it can withstand, and the excess pain has bounced back to its body at once.

The pain didn't last long, and after a few moments passed, Brian regained control of the doll, and saw that Christine was still showing a victorious smile, and said:

"How? Isn't it feeling better? ”

Brian thought for a moment, manipulating the puppet to match Christine's words, gasping for air, while secretly aiming a pistol at the other party's temple.

"Bump!"

The bullet passed through Christine's head, revealing a patch of red, white, and a silver-rimmed monocle.

Receiving a strong impact, Christine's eyes were glazed and she fell to the ground.

"I should be dead now......"

As he spoke, the puppet looked at the straw doll, but its body suddenly trembled, and the field of vision that was originally seen clearly by relying on human skin gloves somehow turned red, and there was a tendency to continue to expand.

"It's a side effect of the 'seal' that has taken effect......," Brian rubbed his eyes, and then forcibly controlled the doll to look at the straw doll.

At this time, the straw doll had already drawn out part of the grass rope and ran through the zenith of the "Scarlet Enchantment".

A few rays of light seeped through the holes, one of which landed on the puppet's neck.

At the same time, Brian felt a sharp pain in his neck that nearly lost contact with the puppet.

It was also at this time that the "Scarlet Enchantment" was no longer as powerful as it was at the beginning, and the effect plummeted a lot, allowing the straw doll to take the opportunity to break a big hole in a few small holes.

A big hole big enough for it to leave.

Slowly regaining control of the puppet, Brian no longer dared to continue using the extraordinary abilities of the human skin glove, because he found that the puppet was "vampire" very fast, and it was about to spread to his body through the connection with the puppet.

Now that Arnold is in a coma, Lady Catherine and Mr. Cole have not yet been found, there is no way for him to get rid of this negative state.

"Do you want to fight hard?" Brian asked himself in a low voice.

The man who called himself Christine had come here for something else, not to simply kill and get revenge.

This can be seen from the fact that after the other party entered the backyard of the performance troupe, he did not attack Arnold and Lulu, but sneaked into the utility room.

Thinking of this, Brian found a problem.

That is, he has been in the "cleaning department" for a while, but he has never paid attention to the utility room, only has a vague impression, and only knows that there is such a place.

"I must have been secretly influenced, Ms. Catherine ...... 'hypnotist'......"

For a moment, Brian was blessed and figured out something.

"Someone like Lady Catherine wouldn't use her abilities on me for no reason, she definitely had some reason for it, and it must have something to do with the clutter......"

"What could it be?"

Brian shook his head and didn't think any further, because knowing that was enough.

The doll lifts its head, and the human skin glove in its right hand emits a viscous feeling, which is the human skin glove expanding and expanding, wanting to gradually fit with the doll's palm to form a whole.

The "Scarlet Enchantment" boiled like blood, trembling irregularly, and wriggling and twisting like flesh and blood, growing new "bodies" and filling in the broken places.

The straw doll stood on the ground, looking up at the restored and even stronger enchantment in the sky, and her back was so helpless......
