Chapter 48: The Puppet
The car with the Shangguan family emblem painted on the outside of the door is driving on the streets of Qihuang City, and not far in front of it is the Chengfeng puppet factory.
"My lord, 10 more dolls have passed the test in recent days, and with the previous ones, the total number has reached 30, the ...... you brought last time It's very easy to use, and the activation process is much smoother this time, so you'll be able to see it later when you check it out, and if it goes well, you can take them with you when you leave. ”
As an ordinary person, the tiredness on the face of the butler who had stayed up for most of the night to find the two thieves was visible to the naked eye, but when facing the young man beside him, he could only force a smile, looked at the two black-robed people sitting in the back seat in the rearview mirror and never said a word, and carefully reported the recent results.
"Got it...... How's it going over there?"
Compared to those materials, the soul puppet is the real key!
"We haven't found the Tide Stream yet, those two people are very vigilant, the information left in the management office is fake, I have asked the county government to station there to check the ships and personnel coming in and out, they can't escape. ”
Directly blocking the port is actually the easiest way, but this kind of matter related to the operation of the entire Qihuang Island is obviously not something that the Shangguan family can decide in a word.
The young man didn't say anything more, just squinted his eyes at the sign of the Wind Riding Doll Factory, which was already close in front of him.
Buzz~Buzz~
The sudden tremor of his waist surprised him, and he grabbed the bamboo tube that he had opened in the Yuelai Inn and lifted the lid, and three insects immediately flew out of it, and their tails flashed with turquoise light, reminding their owners.
"Stop! they're nearby!"
A slap was pressed on the steering wheel in the butler's hand, and the young man said in a deep voice.
His eyes wandered from house to house around him, looking for possible traces of the target, but he didn't know that the target was ahead!
......
Clang~
The sharp nails collided with the blade again, Lu Jing opened his arms to protect Fu Ju behind him, and with the light emitted by the kerosene lamp, he stared at the guys in front of him who were "jumping" him.
Corpse!
Lu Jing didn't see too much of this kind of thing in his previous life, if he was given time to prepare, what glutinous rice, peach wood sword, he would definitely be able to carry a whole bag and teach these guys in front of him to make corpses well, but at the moment, in the face of these corpses in front of him, Rao is also felt that his scalp was numb.
Not to mention that these corpses seem to be in a different state from what they remember, although they are jumping when they move, their arms are not as stiff as they imagined, and they can perform some basic martial arts movements.
Fu Ju's gaze always stayed on the zombies that surrounded him, and after a while, he said with a pale face: "That copper coin mask just now, a human puppet...... The people of the Shangguan family are crazy, they actually dare to study human puppets, that is an absolutely forbidden evil art!"
"Puppets?"
Lu Jing was surprised by Fu Ju's name for these corpses, but now was not the time to discuss this.
"You hurry back upstairs, it won't be long before the movement here will alarm the people below, and it will definitely be a scuffle later...... I'll buy you time, and when you're ready, let me know by whistling, and go!"
The sudden enemy obviously disrupted the plan of the two, Lu Jing had to make a decision as soon as possible, Fu Ju also understood this, whispered a word of caution and turned his head and ran to the third floor, just stepped on the stairs when he heard a sentence from behind: "Heaven and earth are infinite, Qiankun borrows the law!"
What is this mantra?
Subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see a blue light blooming from in front of Lu Jing's body, and even two spiral streams of water directly pierced into the eye sockets of the two zombies closest to him.
"It turns out that this is really just a slogan, and there is no ...... at all."
Lu Jing looked at the two corpses whose eyes burst but were still rushing forward, spat a word, and immediately raised the knife.
Slashing at the zombie's torso, Lu Jing was ready to be blocked, after all, the "experience" of his previous life told him that this kind of monster had a hard body, and ordinary physical attacks could hardly work against them.
However, unexpectedly, the blade easily cut a narrow wound on the body of the zombie in front of him, even if no blood spurted out of it, it made Lu Jing a little stunned for a while.
What about the invulnerability that was said to be good?
Fu Ju's name for them resurfaced in Lu Jing's mind, puppets...... Maybe I'm thinking wrong, these are just shows?
Just when Lu Jing was surprised, a sudden change occurred!
I saw a wriggling of the zombie's wound cut by the blade, and then a dark brown tentacle that I didn't know if it was intestines or some kind of flesh derivative poured out of the wound, and they writhed unscrupulously like a pile of long worms, greedily sucking in the outside air.
And that's just the beginning!
The 10 zombies in front of Lu Jing all began to tremble violently, and while their bodies moved forward in a twisted and strange posture, the copper coin masks on their faces fell to the ground one after another, and more, disgusting tentacles spewed out of their mouths.
At the same time, Lu Jing also noticed that there seemed to be something wriggling in the back of these zombies' heads, but now he didn't have the heart to care about so much, and the shouts and footsteps from downstairs came into his ears.
Obviously, the movement on the second floor had already alarmed the guards outside.
The front and back bags, Lu Jing's best choice now is undoubtedly to find a way to escape immediately, but Fu Ju has not yet entered the storage room on the third floor because he was called down by himself just now, if he just leaves, they will find nothing when they sneak in this trip.
As his thoughts turned, Lu Jing stared at the zombie crowd that was gradually surrounding, and his footsteps suddenly slowed down.
After the fright at the first meeting, Lu Jing quickly found that these guys looked very hideous, but the real means of attack were very barren, and those fingernails and tentacles that looked very scary were not much of a threat to him at all.
In addition, the continuous rotation made Lu Jing find that these zombies looked a little strange, not to mention men and women, and the clothes on their bodies were also completely different, most of them were civilian clothes, and they did not look like those "old guys" who were dug out of coffins.
Pupils suddenly constricted.
These people are ...... Who has disappeared in Qihuangcheng recently?
Lu Jing clearly remembered that the mask made of copper coins he had just picked up on the ground also existed on the wanted notice.
Yes!
No wonder that guy would blow himself up so resolutely, because it was a corpse at all, and it didn't matter if he died, and blowing himself up in front of everyone could create the illusion that a murderer had been caught, and all investigations would be stifled in the moment.
It's a good calculation!
But why did the Shangguan family do such a thing that would be doomed to be doomed once discovered?
The answer is not hard to guess, the Nightmare Pirates!
A flash of inspiration struck me in my mind, and this might be my chance......
