The ping-pong ball-sized soul ball emitted a faint fluorescence that was not concealed even in the candle-lit basement three-story laboratory at 2 Kirk Street.

After all, this is the color of the soul.

All the time, it's special.

And when it melted into Anna's body, the terrifying puppet immediately began to shake.

It's mild at first, but after a few seconds, it's like a heartbeat.

But then it became rapid, counting seconds by second, dozens of seconds by second, and the body of the 'Anna' doll even began to crack in such a shake.

'Failed?' ’

Arthur let out a deep sigh in his heart.

In the obtained skills [Soul Charge] and [Soul Clipping], [Note 7] has a detailed explanation: the cut soul can also be attached to an item, but there is no memory, and no matter what item is attached, the success rate is greatly reduced.

Arthur originally thought that with the strength of 'Glaste', he was proficient in the rituals and secret arts of the 'Pale Hand' and the 'Teofat Psionic Order', and his soul must be special, and maybe he would be able to increase the success rate.

But now it seems that he was overly optimistic.

Looking at the soul radiance that overflowed from Ms. Anna's body, Arthur knew that if he wanted to resurrect Ms. Anna, he would have to find another soul.

Of course, you have to find a master who is skilled in repairing dolls to repair the damage caused by Ms. Anna's rapid shaking.

'Tate seems to know someone similar. ’

Arthur's mind naturally came to mind the owner of the 'Tate Cane Shop'.

As for Vontel?

The heir to the lord who loves dolls is naturally proficient in doll restoration.

But Arthur wouldn't bring the broken Ms. 'Anna' to the other party, and with this person's paranoia, he will most likely ask him who the 'murderer' is.

Arthur couldn't answer.

He can't say it's himself, can he?

No!

How could it be him?

It's all 'Glaste'.

He had already contributed loot, corpses, and memories to him, so why didn't the soul let him use it thoroughly?

He didn't have any plans for its corpse like 'biokinetic, never-ending labor'.

He's kind enough, isn't he?

I don't even know how to be grateful.

'Hmph, I am young, upright, simple and kind, but I am always hurt. ’

Arthur groaned inwardly.

And at this very moment-

Thundered!

The winter thunder suddenly sounded.

The thunder appeared so abruptly and so loudly that Arthur could hear it clearly, even on the third floor underground.

In the same way, the soul brilliance that had been scattered and was about to disappear was completely retracted back into Ms. 'Anna's body at once.

Ms. 'Anna''s originally sluggish expression had an extra sense of agility.

In Arthur's surprised gaze, Ms. 'Anna' opened her eyes and sat up slowly.

At the same time, lines of text began to appear -

[Name: Anna. Credos]

【Type: Doll】

[Quality: Hero]

[Attributes: 1, the body of the puppet; 2. Bone cracking; 3. Distorted; 4. Dead air absorption]

[Need: Arthur. Credos]

[Note: Anna was originally an 'ornament' made by old Charlie herself, she completed the tasks assigned by old Charlie again and again, people always became frightened under her 'gaze', and when you began to contact her, she gained more 'prestige', and almost everyone who knew you knew her existence.

fame, made her different.

And the infusion of the memoriesless soul belonging to 'Glaste' completely stimulated her difference.

She had a soul, she had acknowledged her name, she had given herself the surname 'Credos', and she thought you, Charlie Sr., Kassandra, Drake, Winters, and Linda. Camille is family, but she likes her the most and is happy to help you.

……

[Doll body: It has very special puppet characteristics, it can move silently, can also attack with weapons, and can use some secret props, and because of others' perception of 'Anna', 'Anna' can also teleport, fly and move items with his mind, and can use wood to repair his body, and when facing thunder, he will be slow and take three times the damage]

[Bone Crack: The residual property on the soul of 'Glaster', allowing 'Anna' to shatter the bones of creatures just by touching them]

[Distorted: The residual properties of Glaste's soul allow Anna to distort the perception of nearby creatures, and even cause them to hallucinate]

[Death breath absorption: 'Glaster's soul has been shrouded by the 'death' you hold, and the other party's frightened feelings of death have turned into the original fear, but for 'Anna', the 'death' you hold is the love between relatives, and 'Anna' can absorb the other party's fear-filled death qi to make herself grow slowly after killing hostile creatures]

(Note 1: Because of you, Anna is very fond of sword weapons, and has a mastery level, and the rest of the weapons can also be used, but only at the proficiency level)

(Note 2: Anna is unable to comprehend items above the arcane level at this stage.) ）

(Note 3: Teleportation does not exceed a radius of 5 meters, the flight distance does not exceed 50 meters, and the moving items are similar to ordinary [Void Hands])

(Note 4: Anna's body is only an ordinary walnut defense level, absorbing the rest of the wood can only be repaired, but it cannot change this effect, and the existing level must be increased)

(Note 5: The Bone Crack effect has full effect on 'Arcana-level' enemies, 90% reduction on 'Great Arcana-level' enemies, and has no effect on 'Advanced')

(Note 6: Distort effect radius 25 meters)

(Note 7: Death of Fear (0/100))

……

Arthur examined the words in front of him.

And 'Anna' stood up, she absorbed the experimental table under her, and after recovering herself to her full state, she carefully arranged her dress, looked at Arthur, very polite, and said in a gentle voice-

"Arthur, good evening."

The gentle voice......

No!

It should be said that the tone is exactly the same as Arthur.

And that kind of etiquette and behavior posture is full of the style of the Credos family.

'Anna. Credos? ’

Arthur silently recited the suffix of his last name, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Good evening, Anna!"

As he spoke, Arthur bowed slightly.

Then, there were no words.

Ms. 'Anna' stood there quietly, like a lady everybody, and Arthur's gaze swept over and over in [Notes] -

Fame made her different. ’

Looking at this sentence, Arthur felt a toothache.

I knew that in this world of mystery, there would always be something strange to come across!

'Reputation'?

Tsk, incense...... No, it should be called 'faith', right?

Except for the Fontel guy, there is anyone who remembers Anna so much?

Well, those guys aren't really scared to sleep by Anna and go to the bathroom alone in the middle of the night, right?

And also......

Death full of fear! ’

Arthur stared at the [0/100] number, and he was looking forward to what 'Anna' would look like when he was upgraded.

It seems to sense some of Arthur's thoughts.

The quiet 'Anna' suddenly cast a shadow, and her gentle voice became eerie.

"Are there any bad guys who want to do something to our house?

Let me kill their whole family!

I will make them regret why they live in this world! ”

Almost instantly, the quiet ladies turned into hideous and terrifying dolls.

Arthur, however, had no fear.

Instead, Arthur picked Anna up and placed her on his shoulders.

"Don't worry, the Credos family isn't something anyone can mess with—and there's one more important thing we need to accomplish now.

'Anna', are you ready to continue your 'fame'? ”
