"There are no guards on the floor where the storage room is located, but there are a large number of mechanisms installed inside the walls on both sides of the corridor, and if people who don't know the rules come here, if they rush to get up because they don't see the guards, they will immediately trigger alarms and deadly mechanisms. ”

As she spoke, Fu Ju raised her feet and walked towards a table standing in front of the corridor while moving her ten fingers, on which were placed ten ropes with ends connected to rings, and she did not hesitate to thread her fingers into it.

"The core of these early warning lines is the wire lock puppet, only if it is cracked remotely, these lines will be withdrawn, and any other means will not be effective, without knowing the method of cracking the organ, even if the people of the Shangguan family come, they can only watch from the outside, let alone foreign thieves...... What they don't know is that this kind of mechanism has long been cracked by my grandfather, and it has become something that my brother and I have been tired of playing with since we were children!"

The ten fingers bent and swayed like butterflies through flowers, the silk threads stained with blue dust in the corridor vibrated constantly, and then the joints of the limbs of the wire-locked puppet at the end of the door began to make movements that were almost dance-like in a strange rhythm.

"You're cracking the mechanism here, I'll go downstairs and take a look. ”

Lu Jing knew that staying here would not help Fu Ju at all, this was a technical job, no matter how hard the muscles were, it was useless, so he simply went down first to see the situation.

"Yes, I'll go down to you when I unlock the mechanism here. ”

This kind of infiltration operation exposes more danger for every second it stays, and it is naturally best to be able to divide labor and cooperate to improve efficiency.

Carrying the kerosene lamp that Fu Ju had put in his backpack in advance, Lu Jing was not in a hurry to turn it on, after all, some of the lights on the third floor illuminated the second floor.

Walking down the stairs, Lu Jing lowered his footsteps as much as possible, guessing and guessing, no light and no one can be directly equated, but Lu Jing quickly realized that he seemed to be thinking too much, until he stepped on the floor on the second floor, he never heard any strange sound, but smelled an extremely strong smell of grease.

The layout on the second floor is more like a research room or studio.

With the light leaking from the staircase, Lu Jing walked forward while looking at the surrounding scene.

Aside from a few small cubicles on the inside, nearly 100 square meters of space is used for some kind of research activity, with a workbench with a large number of tools and puppet parts, closed, which looks like a whale oil-powered machine tool and several hint boards with blueprints standing next to it.

Lu Jing thought it was a drawing of the parasitic puppet, but after a few glances, he found that most of them were mechanical puppet construction plans.

That's it?

Spending so much effort to sneak in, what Lu Jing wanted to see was not how hard the Shangguan family worked in tackling puppet technology, so he directly skipped these things and turned his gaze to the compartments inside.

Lu Jing didn't believe that the cooperation between the Shangguan family and the Nightmare Pirates was limited to soul puppets, and his intuition told him that the two sides were so close that there must be dirt in other places.

Light the kerosene lamp and walk quickly to the door of the nearest compartment, where a notice is pasted: Doll storage, idlers stop!

Ha!

Isn't that a clear way for people to go in and take a look?

Sniffing, the rich smell of the whole room seemed to be overflowing from it, and he raised his hand to grasp the doorknob, pushed it hard, and locked it without accident.

"Lu Jing, come here, I've opened the mechanism. ”

At this moment, Fu Ju's voice came from the staircase.

"Will you pick the lock?"

Lu Jing didn't go over, but turned around and said,

"There are a few cubicles here, I'm going to see what's in there!"

Hearing Lu Jing's call, Fu Ju did not hesitate, walked down the stairs and hurried to Lu Jing's side, asking him to bring the kerosene lamp closer.

"The situation here is a little strange, there are no guards on the third floor, and there are no guards on the second floor, I just looked down at the staircase, not to mention the guards, I can't even see a figure, but from the window I can see more than a dozen guards outside the door...... It didn't mean to go in and patrol at all, like there was something in here that couldn't be seen...... This lock is not special and can be opened. ”

Fu Ju said the suspicious points he had discovered, and while taking out two iron pieces with grooves at the top of his pocket, he inserted them into the keyhole lightly, turned around and noticed Lu Jing's strange expression, and said in a low voice,

"When I was a child, I learned a little more to make a living. ”

"Maybe they're doing something shady here, it's all covering, and it's not to cause trouble for themselves by arranging guards...... 100 million points?"

In less than five seconds, Lu Jing heard the sound of "click~" and was stunned, this efficiency is a bit exaggerated, right?

The door of the compartment opened, and a smell stronger than just now came to his face, Lu Jing immediately covered his nose, and the moment the light of the kerosene lamp illuminated the compartment, the two frowned in unison.

I saw that in the narrow cubicle of no more than ten square meters, more than a dozen humanoid objects covered with cloth stood side by side, and the queue looked very neat, but it made people feel uncomfortable for no reason and thought of some dark scenes.

"This smell is to prevent the puppets from being eaten by insects, these should be finished dolls, nothing to look at, the upstairs storage room is the key, inside ...... What do you do?"

Fu Ju stepped forward and lifted the curtain, revealing a puppet wearing civilian clothes, with a head of just an oval wooden block, and some traces of mechanical structure could be seen at the joints, and he was about to turn around and leave, but he saw Lu Jing stretching out his hand to a puppet at the edge of the second row,

"I just saw it shake up. ”

Holding the handle of the knife in his right hand and tearing open the cloth cover with his left hand, Lu Jing glanced at the puppets that were no different from the first row.

Delusion?

Bang~

A muffled sound attracted Lu Jing's attention, and from the right side of the puppet, he shone it with a kerosene lamp, was stunned, and immediately bent down to pick up the thing that had just landed.

A mask made of copper coins in tandem.

"What is this......"

The more Lu Jing looked at it, the more familiar he felt about it, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and he was about to pull the cloth covering the puppet that had dropped the mask.

However, before he stretched out his hand, he retracted it at a faster speed, drew the long knife at his waist and shouted, "Who is hiding there! Get out!"

Whew~Whew~Whew~

Eerie exhalations rang out one after another.

The dozen or so puppets that were originally standing quietly in place, except for a few in the first and second rows, did not move, the rest turned to Lu Jing in an instant, and even the curtain covering their bodies shook for a while, and then they pounced forward like a hunting dog that smelled blood.

"What the...... Let's go!"

Lu Jing, who realized that the situation was wrong, pulled Fu Ju's arm and retreated.

In the next second, the "dolls" shrouded in gray cloth raised their arms straight, revealing two blue-gray palms with long nails, and then leaned forward and jumped towards Lu Jing!
