Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 256 Insomnia Relief Center
The night sky was clear, and the crimson moonlight shone peacefully. Through the shop windows of the pedestrian street, it was reflected on the smooth pavement of the pedestrian street. Suddenly, the whole street was filled with hazy blood, as if dyed with a layer of blood-colored veil.

Most of the shops on both sides have closed their doors. When night falls, in the hearts of most players, the world has entered a dangerous moment. The safest way is naturally to stay in the rented real estate on the pedestrian street, protected by the domain, almost There will be no problems.

But at this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came faintly from the crimson-filled street.

The players walking here are Chen Ye and Miss Puppet, including Wang Jing and Shen Meng.

"Boss, why do we act at night?"

"It feels eerie..."

"Come here during the day, wouldn't it be safer?"

Wang Jing shivered. Walking on the street illuminated by the crimson moon, he felt inexplicably cold, as if there were some ghosts around him, passing through his body from time to time, bringing a feeling of coldness that did not belong to this world.

"The victim's occupational identity is [Dream Weaver]. Think about it, at night, he can't display his characteristics. He often dreams that he appears in the puppet's body, and even shows signs of being controlled... ..."

"So, do you think these things will come out on their own initiative during the day?"

"Isn't it more likely to act at night and find the root of the problem?"

Wang Jing was slightly stunned, and thought about it carefully with his brain, it seems that this is really the case.

In fact...

There is one thing Chen Ye didn't say...

The reason why he chose to act during the day, and to detect information related to [Black Sun], so that he knew that the daytime in the City of Destiny might not be as safe as the players imagined.

In the initial stage, all players only have initial occupations, and most of the occupations stay at the first turn, and they are still very weak. Any aborigine may be killed if they meet...

The daytime, full of threats in the eyes of the aborigines, has instead become the player's umbrella.

But at this moment, the time has come to the second month. Most of the players who can survive have the means to save their lives and have a certain ability to resist risks.

At this time, even if you encounter aboriginal people, as long as you follow the rules, take the initiative to avoid the existence that you cannot touch, abide by your duty, and use the rules to formulate action plans, generally there will be no problems.

Therefore, during this time period, it is more appropriate to integrate into the aborigines of the city of destiny.

at this time……

The figures of Chen Ye and others had already arrived at the door of the "Insomnia Treatment Center".

At this moment, scarlet traces wrapped around the side corridors of the store, growing like vines, and gradually seemed to want to cover the entire store.

dong dong!

dong dong!

The sound of a beating heart suddenly came from inside the shop.

The sound was like knocking on the door, and also like the heart of some large creature, which was beating slowly...

It seemed that something was about to "grow" out of it.

"What's that sound?"

When Wang Jing heard this abnormal sound, his mood sank slightly, and he felt a little uneasy for no reason.

Chen Ye frowned slightly, and checked with the pupil of luck, and found a thick blood light, mixed with ink traces, covering the entire shop.

The ink-colored trace of luck is exactly the same as the Xijiang pollution!
"Is it really related to the characteristics of pollution..."

Chen Ye's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately made a judgment in his heart.

It even goes back to when "Polluted Paradise" came along...

I'm afraid that when the pollution of the Xijiang River turns into a flood and spreads to the entire pedestrian street, the original characteristics of the place will merge with each other, and some evil existences will have been born.

Combined with the attack on Miss Puppet, it is also part of the planning of this pollution incident?

It seems that these puppets have characteristics related to [Pollution], after fusion, they have even more sinister characteristics!

But I'm afraid the behind-the-scenes of the plan did not expect that after the Lieyang Church cooperated with that guy Hua Shao, they would directly choose to drop a holy light bomb, which almost blew up the entire Pollution Paradise.

Think about it this way...

There are still many contributions to spend less!

No wonder he also has a golden star on his body. It seems that rich people have to bear the fate of rich people and do something earth-shattering.

These puppets are now more attacking the tenants. After cleaning up the residents inside, they can slowly activate the characteristic of [Parasite Title Deed], and take back the property after the holy light bomb has been purified.

"I see……"

"One of the main purposes of these puppets appearing here is obviously to deal with the residents and expel them from the property..."

"Thus creating conditions for the assimilation of real estate!"

"Although the Holy Light Bomb has almost wiped out the [Pollution] characteristic of the entire paradise, there must still be some existences that fuse with some other characteristics, thereby avoiding the damage of the Holy Light Bomb in a special way, so it can Stay here and harm others."

"Puppets, as objects with the characteristics of [manipulation system] and [art system], can provide these parasites with a body that does not have life, but is very useful."

"After all, the puppet's simulated human structure, under the control of nerve lines, can move freely like real hands and feet."

"Those parasites can assimilate into a life form of nerve filaments, which is almost a perfect fit for puppets, providing a moving body."

"In the previous forum, most of the strange stories about puppets came from this way!"

Thinking of this, Chen Ye suddenly understood the essence of "Puppet Stories"...

"careful!"

At this moment, Miss Puppet suddenly exclaimed beside her.

I saw blood-colored silk threads entangled suddenly from the road under the feet reflecting the thick blood light, as well as the inside of the shop.

That life-threatening silk thread possessed a strong cutting ability, forming a net of heaven and earth, killing it from all directions!
boom!
boom!
Chen Ye's left and right hands burst apart and turned into scissors.

At that critical moment, he activated the execution form of [Demon Executioner] without hesitation!
The cold knife light slashed across the sides.

In mid-air, those streaks of life-threatening blood were cut off by the light of the knife at the moment when they were about to strike, turning into catkin-like lines and falling down.

This offensive was resolved!

Miss Puppet breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the two scissors in Chen Ye's hand, she couldn't help but feel jealous instinctively.

She felt that these scissors... seemed to be her nemesis!
In fact, the bloody thread that hit just now is very similar to the silver thread used by Miss Puppet to control the puppet.

They are all tissues and organs derived from their own nervous organs, with non-human characteristics.

These silver wires are far beyond the scope of biological understanding, and have extremely strong cutting lines, whether it is toughness, sharpness, cutting strength... It can almost be compared with nano-filaments, as [Puppet Master] , in addition to the dolls she made, this is also an important means she relies on to fight.

But the two scissors in Chen Ye's hand could cut these bloody threads easily!
That means that one's own silver thread is likely to be easily cut by the other party.

Silver wire, as the nerve organ of [Puppet Master], is not only the main means to control the puppet, but also the biggest basic reliance for fighting.

But if the scissors in Chen Ye's hand could easily cut through the silver thread, it meant that the opponent could easily cut across the flank of the battlefield in actual combat, break the connection between himself and the puppet, and then enter into close combat.

These silver threads are not foreign objects, but their own nerve organs. The moment they are cut off, it is very painful!
If you were caught in a physical melee, it would be [Puppet Master] using his own flesh and blood to fight Chen Ye who was hacking with two kitchen knives. One can imagine which one is better.

Miss Puppet took a deep breath. She originally thought that Chen Ye was a cook and a suona player. Most of the additions to his status and profession seemed to be related to support. Press yourself.

The leader of the list, well-deserved reputation!
"careful!"

"This thing has a strong diffusion..."

"Not only inside the store, but also the area under our feet has now become part of the enemy's territory!"

Chen Ye reminded in a deep voice.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

They never expected that before their own figure went in to investigate, they would fall into the opponent's territory first!
As long as it is a player who has mixed up to the present, it is very clear that fighting in the enemy's territory will often fall into an extremely unfavorable passive situation.

After all, this is the opponent's domain!
Under the circumstances of many restrictions, and facing heavy encirclement and successive attacks from all directions, even a profession with a higher level can easily be forced to fall into a disadvantage.

in the dark……

Chen Ye's luck pupil reflected a colorful ripple, locking the inside of the shop, trying to use the image of luck to determine the source of danger.

"This property has not been completely assimilated by pollution..."

"Although it is possible to launch an attack, as the real estate rules are not yet complete, it is temporarily impossible to use the rules to launch an attack. Instead, some kind of existence uses ideas and uses real estate as an amplifier of characteristics to strengthen the means of attack."

"The enemy is inside the estate!"

"If it can be found and completely destroyed, then the source of this piece of property that is being polluted can be destroyed."

Realizing this, Chen Ye immediately locked his eyes on the interior of the shop, carefully observing the many signs of luck gathered inside, from the messy blood, ink stains, mixed with the spraying black mist and gray gas, to find out the difference The place.

suddenly……

Chen Ye found that in the deepest corner of the store, there was an object in the shape of a jet-black outline, placed on the ground, only the size of Moyo's palm, like a puppet toy thrown on the ground by a pranked child.

"Got you!"

Chen Ye's eyes flicked, and he locked on to the puppet outline. Two execution-shaped scissors, slashing left and right, made a charging posture, ready to rush into the shop...

next second.

The puppet in the depths seemed to be aware of the crisis, and its whole body began to tremble.

Accompanied by the strange black water flow, it gradually covered the entire shop.

Gollum!Gollum!
On the surface of the shop covered by the ink-colored water flow, huge blisters appeared one after another.

boom!
Suddenly, the blister burst instantly!
Ink sprayed out from the ink-colored blisters, as if turning into arrows all over the sky, flying towards Chen Ye and the others' faces like rain needles.

At that moment, Chen Ye suddenly felt like something was hoisting his back and flew into the air.

beside……

The figures of Wang Jing and Shen Meng were also hoisted into the air by a silver thread.

It turned out that Miss Puppet activated Yinsi's ability!
As for herself, she placed the ancient coffin behind her in front of her to block the splashing ink.

Zizizi!
Zizizi!
The ink splashed and hit the surface of the coffin made of holy silver, making a scorching sound.

Since joining the Lieyang Church and being favored by the saint, the equipment on Miss Puppet has undergone a wave of upgrades!
Even the ancient coffins used to carry puppets are made of holy silver, which has a part of the power of [Fire Yang], and has a restraining effect on evil things.

After passing through these inks, it is very corrosive, but when hit on the surface of Miss Puppet's ancient coffin, it was restrained by the characteristic of [Fire Sun], so it couldn't cause half the effect.

With the help of Miss Puppet, everyone narrowly escaped this round of sudden attack.

Chen Ye's face changed slightly, and he realized that although the assimilation of this piece of land had not been completed, but with the magnified characteristics, every round of attack was very dangerous.

Moreover, these ink-colored water flows, no accident, are the polluted water sources of the Xijiang River.

If you get these things on your body...

Even if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin!
The whole shop is covered in thick blood and ink, even if you hold two [Devil Scissors] and the black court robe that can avoid the water flow, if you rush into it, you will still face great danger .

He looked at the ink-colored water that covered the surface of the shop, and frowned slightly, wondering if he should take out the [Fire Sun Scroll], activate the sacred flame, and purify those things?
Judging from the effect of ink hitting Miss Puppet's ancient coffin, the attribute of [Fire Sun] still has a strong restraining effect on these evil things.

It's just... since this place has been reduced to the property of the enemy's territory, the degree of purification of the [Scorching Sun Scroll] alone may not be able to deal with the black water that invaded at the same time.

He was thinking about the risks involved...

Is there a safer way to go deep into the shop and deal with that puppet?
At this moment, a golden luster suddenly flowed in Wang Jing's hand, and he flew into the hands of Chen Ye and others, saying:

"This is the steamed fish eye I developed. It has the ability to see through and can help us see things in the store."

[Gourmet Department] Chefs can cook different delicacies and give them different bonus effects.

This pure white fish eye exudes a delicate fragrance. If swallowed, the extra bonus ability obtained is "see-through".
