Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 255
"puppet?"

As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of everyone present could not help but fall on Miss Puppet.

Just finished talking about the puppet-related topic, and a commission happened to come?
This is too coincidental, right?

Bai Chen spread his hands and smiled, "I'm just saying... sooner or later this restaurant will become an office!"

At this moment, Chen Ye's mind moved, and he opened the pupil of luck to observe the aura of luck on the client's body.

Compared with before, the blood light is more intense, surrounded by a dark, deep luster, filled with fragmented traces, as if to drag the dreamer into a nightmare from which he will never wake up...

Things seem to be getting more dire!
Recently, there have been many more victims of the "puppet incident" on the forum.

Chen Ye frowned and pondered for a moment, gradually connecting the puppet incident with the fruit of the human head that was popular all over the city in his mind.

In fact, both of them are related to [Department of Art]...

That is to say...

Miss Puppet was attacked. It is likely that the main goal at the beginning was not to control the opponent, break into the player's interior, launch a sudden attack, and cause chaos?

After all, Miss Puppet was only a second-rank job at the time. It would be too whimsical to think that with a second-rank job, it would have a subversive effect on the plans of the entire player team.

So it seems...

When Miss Puppet was attacked, it is likely that the attacker's goal was not to control the other party at first, but the puppet factory!

They need to alienate this factory and turn it into a copy, so as to have a certain impact on the pedestrian street?

As for Miss Puppet being controlled later and launching a sudden attack on Chen Ye and others in the Scarlet Building, it was only the effect of subsequent excavation.

No matter how you think about it, if it's just to insert a second-turn combat force in a melee, so as to enter other players' domains and carry out sneak attacks...

The risks and benefits faced are completely out of proportion.

Now that I think about it, it is clear that behind the attack on Miss Puppet, there is a deeper layout, which may be related to that factory!

"If this war is a battle between [the power of the gods], then the pedestrian street that was first impacted must be a battleground for military strategists, and there are still many unexplored areas about this place, with many mysteries hidden... ..."

Realizing this, Chen Ye first interrupted his thoughts, turned his eyes to the client in front of him, and said softly:
"You can first tell me what happened in the past few days..."

The entrusted girl took a deep breath, restrained the chaotic emotions, organized some words in her mind, and then began to make a statement:

"Recently, I've been having nightmares!"

"I always dreamed that I became a puppet, screwing screws in a factory, and kept screwing, day and night..."

"In that dream, I felt as if there was a thread connecting my body, controlling my hands and feet..."

"Even if I realize it's a dream, I can't control it. I can only keep screwing the screw..."

"It may be hard for you to imagine how terrible this is for a [Dream Weaver]!"

"I can't activate my own characteristics, weave my dreams, and control the sleep time..."

"Every time I wake up, I find that the sleep time this time is far beyond normal. When it's better, I can wake up in about ten hours, but in some extreme cases, I even sleep for two days and two nights... ..."

"When I got up, I felt as if my whole body was not my own. My hands and feet were extremely sore, as if I had really screwed the screws in the factory for so long."

Miss Puppet couldn't help but interrupted:

"In the factory you mentioned, there are many puppets on the mechanical assembly line, sliding across a huge turntable, with many silver-like lines on it, connecting the various puppet components?"

"Correct!"

The entrusting girl nodded quickly, with a little surprise in her eyes. She was surprised that the puppet lady could accurately describe her dream.

At this time, Chen Ye already had some guesses in his mind, but he looked at [Dream Weaver] and said in a deep voice:
"Since you are in this neighborhood and have been in a nightmare, why don't you consider changing places and abandoning the pedestrian street?"

She took a deep breath, with a look of fear on her face, and said in a trembling tone:
"That's exactly what I'm going to say next..."

"Ever since I realized that this neighborhood is very strange, I have realized that this place is not suitable for staying for a long time, so I chose to move out, temporarily left the pedestrian street, and chose to rest temporarily in an old mansion on Minke Street."

"This mansion was recommended by a friend. Apart from being a bit deserted, there is basically nothing wrong with it. It can be used as a shelter from the wind and rain for temporary settlement."

"I moved into the mansion and lived there for a day, and the dream that night finally returned to normal!"

"Just when I thought it was over..."

"I never expected that last night, when I fell asleep again, I dreamed about that factory again!"

"This time, I am no longer the puppet who turns the screws, but is divided into countless components and placed everywhere..."

"I feel like my consciousness has been split into countless fragments. I can see my own components from all directions. I also saw puppets with weird shapes, grinning at me with a terrifying smile!"

"That time, I was really scared awake!"

"When I opened my eyes again, I found that I had returned to the original house on the pedestrian street..."

At this point in the statement, [Dream Weaver]'s pupils contracted and enlarged violently, as if seeing something terrifying.

"When I just opened my eyes, I suddenly found a puppet's face lying on the window sill!"

"That puppet's facial features are bleeding!"

"It looks exactly like the puppet I turned into in my dream!"

After saying the last sentence, [Dreamweaver] almost collapsed on the back of the seat, as if he had exhausted all the energy in his body, feeling that the scene in front of him was about to be completely blurred, and his consciousness would disappear at any time, and he passed out completely.

Until there was a melodious suona sound from the side, her emotions were calmed down by the gradually calming music, she raised her head, and gave Chen Ye a grateful look.

"Until now, I haven't closed my eyes again, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep if I'm not careful." [Dream Weaver] said funny and bitter.

As a [Dream Weaver], I dare not sleep...

This feeling, I am afraid only she herself knows what is going on.

Chen Ye took a look at the entrusted girl and found that the other party was in a bad state of mind. After pondering for a moment, he turned to Chen Xi and said:

"How about this...you go to the Lieyang Church to avoid it for the time being."

"If you are in another place, you will be suddenly transferred back into the house. I don't know if it is the influence of the characteristics, or if you were physically transferred in a dream."

"Although Lieyang Church does not know whether it can protect your safety, it is still safer to reach that place."

The entrusted girl opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe her ears:

"The Church of the Lieyang? It seems that the sacred place cannot be entered casually, right? Can I go there?"

"Normally, it's really not allowed." Chen Ye smiled, "When it happens... there is a member of the party here today, who happens to have something to do with the church. Say hello and let you stay there for one night. It shouldn't be a problem."

Chen Xi smiled, but did not refuse, and said gently:
"Anyway, there are still a lot of beds in the common room, and there are not many more. I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, there will be another nun in the church."

Miss Puppet couldn't help but blushed when she heard this.

"Thank you...you are really a group of good people..." The entrusting girl's nose was sore, and the sense of crisis that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time seemed to be finally released, turning into pearl-like tears, pouring out from both sides of her cheeks uncontrollably Down.

During this period of time, she had sought help from many "friends", but all she got was some constructive advice, but no one was willing to come to her to provide real and valuable help, and even feared that this curse might spread to her. I chose to delay replying to the message, deliberately avoid it, or ignore it for a long time.

Among them, it also included the girlfriends who used to be in a dormitory during college and had a relationship that couldn't be better.

In this world full of weirdness, it is difficult for everyone to protect themselves. It is good to survive. Who has the heart to meddle in other people's affairs?
Once something happened, in order to prevent the disaster from spreading to him, he couldn't hide...

"I can perform a divination for you."

Chen Ye pondered for a moment, then took out the 【Lucky Dice】.

Not only to know the entrusted girl's next fate...

It's rare to catch a "divination client", so naturally you have to brush up the tasks of this month's stage.

Everyone's eyes fell on the dice, and their eyes moved slightly, because they all realized that Chen Ye had probably unlocked the feature related to [Fate].

Mizi on the side sighed, "Oh, it's really difficult to get a job these days. Even the boss has to follow the employees to grab jobs."

But she remembered that in the coffee shop, she worked alone for three employees, and suddenly felt that such a salty fish life seemed not bad.

"it is good!"

The entrusted girl nodded.

next second.

Chen Ye rolled the dice in his hand.

With a "da", the dice landed on the composite wooden floor, making a crisp sound.

The points paused for a moment at the spiritual number "2", and then fell back to "1".

Chen Ye looked at the entrusting girl with a slightly heavy gaze, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm afraid your future fortune will not be very good. It is best to stay in the Lieyang Church. If the incident is not over, don't come out casually!"

The other party saw the number of dice and realized this, so he nodded quickly.

Soon, with the support of Chen Xi, the entrusted girl returned to Lieyang Church to rest.

This is actually a test...

If that kind of characteristic can bypass the Lieyang Church and bring the entrusted girl back to the pedestrian street again...

That means that the existence behind this incident is not at the level of Chen Ye and others, and can be provoked.

Although the current "Lord of the Sun" is likely to be affected by [Black Sun], the church is still operating normally, and many contracts in the name of "Sun" can still take effect, which means that the "Lord of the Sun" "For the time being, [God's Authority] can still be activated, and the situation is not at its worst.

After Chenxi left...

Although Tang Wu is interested in continuing to follow up, but there are still many matters in the Manufacturing Association, and he needs to go back to work on his own, so he can only bid farewell to leave with regret.

Bai Chen also patted his butt from the seat and stood up, with a leisurely expression on his face:

"If there is any incident that needs to be investigated, you can entrust me at any time, or if there is an entrusted incident here, you can also ask me to serve you if you have a suitable reward. The price is negotiable, mainly as long as the incident is interesting."

As soon as the words fell, Bai Chen's figure melted into the shadows and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Mizi, who looked like an old god, obviously didn't want to be interested in these things. Instead, he got up and went to the back kitchen to help Wang Jing with the big order of a thousand roasted chicken wings.

Miss Puppet chose to stay and planned to follow up the development of subsequent events.

She looked up at Chen Ye, and asked with a slightly worried expression: "Where should we start the investigation now? Is there any danger?"

Judging from the current information, the incident that [Dream Weaver] encountered was not a dream at all!
The place she dreamed of was exactly Miss Puppet's original factory!
But as for why you dreamed of that place?Why do I return to the original "Insomnia Treatment Center" inexplicably after leaving the pedestrian street?
When I woke up, I happened to see the puppet in my dream at the window, with bleeding facial features and a horrific appearance, like a threat!
Chen Ye pondered for a moment, connected all the information in his mind, gradually had a certainty in his mind, and slowly analyzed:

"It's not so much a dream, it's better to use the form of a dream to pull the [dream weaver]'s consciousness into the puppet, use her consciousness as the driving force of the puppet, and provide free labor for the factory."

"What is the purpose of doing this?" Miss Puppet looked puzzled.

"That's hard to say!" Chen Ye sneered, "Some rituals need to create a large number of dead bodies in order to meet certain evil conditions, and there may be various cumbersome and twisted steps in the middle, and finally achieve the effect of destroying the entire city .”

Miss Puppet immediately thought of the thousands of players who were killed in the [Dragon God Ceremony], she realized something and fell silent.

"Boss, what should you do next?" Wang Jing asked while listening to Chen Ye and Miss Puppet talking outside while making grilled chicken wings. He couldn't restrain his curiosity.

Although he knew that Chen Ye was very powerful, this incident did sound a little weird.

"Of course, go there and take a look first."

Chen Ye clapped his hands, stood up, and smiled calmly:
"If you want to teleport our client back from such a far place, unless you have the characteristics of [Space System]."

"But this group of puppets already have the characteristics of [Art Department] and [Control Department] in them, and it is obviously impossible to have [Space Department]..."

In fact, there was one more thing Chen Ye didn't say.

From the time the dice stopped to "2", it is very likely that there is a shadow of [Spirit World] behind this incident, which already has three characteristics in it. It's not something everyone can solve.

And the fourth turn already corresponds to the white-clothed bishop of the Lieyang Church, which belongs to the high-level combat force, just a group of puppets, and they don't have such terrible means.

therefore……

The reason why the entrusted girl woke up and found that she suddenly returned to the "Insomnia Treatment Center" might have something to do with that house!

Chen Ye planned to go there to conduct a formal investigation.

"Then shall we go now?"

Miss Puppet glanced at the sky. It was dusk at this time, wondering if she should complete the investigation before dark.

"No!"

Chen Ye shook his head and said:
"We'll go out and investigate again when it's dark."
