Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 257

Chen Ye's mind moved, and he immediately swallowed the fish eye. He had just obtained the view inside the shop.

When he looked in the direction of the puppet, his pupils constricted violently.

Originally, the puppet lying in place suddenly disappeared?

Where did this thing go?
Chen Ye quickly activated the ability of the pupil of luck to lock the position of the puppet.

He looked around, and suddenly found a puppet, which seemed to appear on his left?
Not even more than a meter away...

Shen Meng's right hand suddenly grabbed in the air, and a dilapidated puppet suddenly appeared in her hand.

The puppet is in Shen Meng's hands!

When Chen Ye's eyes fell on the puppet in Shen Meng's hand, he was obviously taken aback...

and many more?

Isn't this the core puppet I saw in the depths of the shop?

How did it get into Shen Meng's hands?
Even Shen Meng felt a little bewildered.

The moment she swallowed the steamed fish eye, she gained the ability to see through, saw a cute puppet lying in the shop, subconsciously activated the ability of [Stealing from Space], and grabbed it in her hand.

The puppet seemed to be conscious, showing fear, trembling slightly...

Under the observation of the pupil of luck, there is a huge blood light inside, which is growing at an extremely fast speed, as if it is going to engulf everyone present.

"not good!"

Chen Ye exclaimed.

next second.

The puppet suddenly exploded and turned into a boundless black mist, engulfing everyone present...

"not good!"

The faces of everyone changed slightly.

The moment they noticed the puppet's mutation, Chen Ye and the others immediately realized that the situation was extremely bad.

Even though the doll is small, the internal space seems to be compressed with a large amount of polluting ink, which will be gushed out in an instant.

The ink that covered the surroundings of the shop was probably made from this doll.

If the ink with the characteristic of [Pollution] is splashed on the player, it might be more terrifying than death.

In the case of serious pollution, even if it is brought to the Lieyang Church in time, at most it will be purified and cannot be redeemed.

Just at this juncture...

Between the lightning and the flint, a sacred golden flame pierced through the black mist.

At the same time, Chen Ye instantly summoned the [Seal Scroll], and under the control of his mind, the entire scroll covered the puppet.

The black mist was immediately suppressed.

dong dong!

dong dong!

The puppet covered by the scroll kept beating, trying to struggle to get out.

However, under the suppression of the [Seal Scroll], none of the characteristics of the doll can be used.

With that small body, even a child may not be able to knock down, let alone break free from the [Seal Scroll].

Trembling for a moment...

The puppet suddenly calmed down and remained completely motionless.

Accompanied by the ink water flow around the shop, including the ground next to it, it slowly faded away.

Under the crimson moonlight, the "Insomnia Treatment Center" in front of it faded away from the weird scene and returned to normal.

The simple wooden gate, the half-meter window covered by pure white shutters, and a few pots of small flowers were planted at the gate, but they were all withered and decayed at the moment, and the broken branches and leaves were mixed with mud and buried in the dust.

"Solution... solved it?"

Shen Meng's eyes still had deep fear and lingering fear in his heart. He looked at the puppet on the ground whose body was wrapped by a scroll, a little curious but also a little scared.

She wanted to open it a little bit, and wanted to see what was going on with the doll, but thinking of the fatal threat posed by this gadget just now, she swallowed, and subconsciously took a step back.

"Why did I suddenly grab the puppet?"

Recalling the experience just now, Shen Meng looked at her right hand with doubts and a little puzzlement.

I vaguely remember that the moment I saw it, I seemed to use the feature of [Stealing from Space] to grab the puppet without thinking.

The whole process ignores even thinking...

From instinct?

Do not……

It seems to be more like being controlled by something, so the reaction is made.

"Fortunately, Boss Chen Ye's strength is still very strong. If it were the group of gangsters on Minke Street, they would probably all kneel in such a crisis, right?"

At the same time of being puzzled... Shen Meng let out a long breath in her heart. Although she was almost cheated, fortunately no major disaster was brewing.

At this moment, Chen Ye's gaze fell on the [Seal Scroll] wrapped in the shape of a "doll" on the ground. He checked it with the pupil of luck, and found that the blood light and black mist brewing in it had completely dissipated. As the gray gas, the characteristics inside have obviously disappeared, and it has become an ordinary thing.

He frowned slightly, and secretly analyzed:
“Puppets may just be a medium for [the Art Department] to release its identity.”

"Usually the works created by the [art department] profession can carry the corresponding characteristics and release them from a long distance, killing people without leaving any leaves on their bodies."

"But this approach also has disadvantages..."

"Once the connection between a work of art and its creator is interrupted, the characteristics contained in it will soon dissipate."

"[Sealing Scroll] has the ability to block the characteristics, even if it is unlocked again, but the sealed target will lose the characteristics for a period of time in a short period of time, let alone as a work of art with additional functions."

After confirming the safety, Chen Ye leaned over and slowly opened the scroll.

I saw a puppet with a purple dress woven on the outside, half of which was dyed a terrifying black, lying on the cloth strips, looking at the sky ferociously, just looking directly at Chen Ye's direction, as if staring at him.

Even though the crisis had been resolved, when Wang Jing and the others saw the puppet, they still couldn't help but feel apprehensive, feeling that this puppet looked evil no matter how it looked.

"It's okay, this thing is completely safe, you can take a look too."

Chen Ye smiled, with a relaxed tone, trying to break the serious atmosphere.

Miss Puppet took the puppet from Chen Ye, observed it carefully, and said in a deep voice:
"This puppet is indeed from my factory..."

"However, there seems to be something else inside, with special abilities that I don't know about."

"Intuition tells me... this thing is very evil, and you must not touch it casually, otherwise it will bring unpredictable consequences..."

"It seems right." Chen Ye looked at the puppet lady and said, "Your factory has been integrated with the pollution in the lower reaches of the Xijiang River, and there may be other unknown puppets who are transforming and intervening."

"Therefore, even the bombing of the holy light bomb cannot completely remove the characteristics of [pollution], and it has become the source of strange stories on the pedestrian street."

"Like similar puppet incidents, there will be more and more in the future..."

In fact, the real consequences are likely to be more serious than imagined!
The black hand behind the scenes might be related to von Lucius.

And 300 years ago, he opened the passage to the spirit world, created the ghost ship and [Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul], and used feigned death to escape the pursuit of the "Lord of Destiny". It can show that this guy is definitely not an ordinary character, even if he is an aborigine, but standing at such a high sequence, he is likely to have better thinking ability and more humanity than ordinary players.

Think about the fact that there is such a terrifying mastermind behind this incident...

I'm afraid it will be more difficult than imagined!
boom!
At this moment, the half of the puppet that was dyed black suddenly seemed to be dissolved, turning into blood, flowing all over the ground, gradually squirming into a line of words on the ground——

"I'll wait for you there!"

The blood-colored text is bright red, as if it has been given life.

Under the crimson moonlight, it seems to reflect blood light, which is extremely weird.

Soon...

The bloody writing on the ground gradually dried up and slowly disappeared.

Wang Jing came back to his senses, that thick face rarely showed a contemplative expression, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand the meaning of the bloody words, so he had to ask Chen Ye who he admired the most:

"Boss, this thing suddenly made something waiting for us there, where is it?"

When the blood light dissipated, a black mist traveled along the pedestrian street to a deeper place.

At the far and hazy end, an ugly puppet face slowly formed.

Chen Ye's mind moved, and judging from the appearance of this luck, he probably deduced the meaning of this sentence:
"If I'm not mistaken...there should be Miss Puppet's factory, and it's also the source of puppet tales."

Wang Jing scratched his head, and said strangely:
"That's really weird. Why does this thing look like a trap like a Hongmen banquet? This is a mockery, and then set up a trap, waiting for us there?"

Chen Ye nodded: "However, if the puppet talk continues to spread like this, players will have to go in to attack sooner or later, otherwise, the entire pedestrian street will fall."

Wang Jing thought it made sense, but couldn't help but feel a little worried:
"But, this dungeon should be quite dangerous, it's not so easy for ordinary players to clear it..."

Just a puppet can bring such a big threat to everyone...

Then if it enters the factory, the risk index will not increase exponentially?
However, it occurred to me that the player next to him was not an ordinary player, but a leader on the list—Chen Ye!
Not long ago, I went to the underground world and got the achievement reward for the first strategy.

For this big guy...

I'm afraid I'm going to turn into a ruthless dungeon raider!
Thinking of this, Wang Jing actually had some expectations in his heart. He really wanted to see how Chen Ye managed to clear the difficult dungeon so efficiently that other players might not even dare to touch it.

Then this dungeon...maybe it's a chance for the boss!

The higher the difficulty of the dungeon, the richer the corresponding rewards.

If such a weird puppet can take over the entire factory, I'm afraid there will be a lot of rewards, right?
buzzing...

At this moment, there was a strange humming sound from the shop behind him.

As the black mist dissipated, a golden contract was slowly drawn into shape from the depths of the shop.

This vision change immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Eh!"

"There is still a title deed?"

"It seems that you can buy this shop with only 20 copper coins and become the real estate owner here!"

Surprise was written on the faces of Wang Jing and the others.

They obviously didn't expect the changes in the store.

If I guessed right, the "Insomnia Treatment Center" should be a shop rented by the client from Hua Shao, right?

Can it still explode the real estate?
So who does this estate... belong to?

Chen Ye's eyes moved, and he analyzed in his heart:
"This real estate was originally leased by the [Dream Weaver], which is equivalent to temporarily obtaining the right to use it. During the lease period, even if Hua Shao is the original owner of the real estate, he has no right to interfere with the real estate within the contract period. of."

"Take advantage of this opportunity, Puppet Talk controls the tenant, causing the other party to lose their normal self-awareness, unable to use the rules of the domain to protect themselves..."

"The puppet can activate the [Pollution] feature, in this case, assimilate the land deed into a part of itself."

"But if the puppet can be solved, then the corresponding real estate can be taken back, and it can also temporarily become unowned."

"At this time, as long as the copper coins corresponding to the land price are spent and the contract is renewed, then this real estate will become my real estate."

Thinking of this, Chen Ye's eyes brightened slightly. He didn't expect that the puppet talk incident would create an opportunity for him to acquire real estate!
Last month, Chen Ye just grabbed the first place in the list of youngest spenders. With his temper, no matter what the reason was, it was impossible for him to transfer the real estate to Chen Ye.

Isn't this sending weapons to the number one rival?

Even if it is rented, it may not be rented.

Except for the pedestrian street, there are basically no real estate in other areas.

This place was completely bought by Hua Shao again...

Compared with [Master Divination] and [Master Fishing], the phase tasks of [Big Realtor] are the most difficult to complete.

At present, Chen Ye has the means to obtain real estate, and for the time being, there are only black real estate in the underground world.

But now... the puppets in the pedestrian street, since they can assimilate the land deed... After the release, the corresponding real estate will become unowned...

There is one more channel to obtain real estate!
Chen Ye turned to Wang Jing and the others, and asked, "Are any of you interested in this real estate? If not, then I will take it."

Miss Puppet and Wang Jing shook their heads. They knew that Chen Ye was still the main contributor to solving the puppet today.

Without him, it is still unknown whether I can stand where I am now.

not to mention……

Even if they have the heart, they don't have that much money!
Miss Puppet, as a nun in the monastery, hardly receives any salary. Relying on the benefits of the Lieyang Church, she can live and eat for nothing in the monastery, and she can also embezzle a certain amount of resources to improve her equipment.

Wang Jing, as a [gourmet chef], he made a lot of money from his business some time ago, but he also spent a lot of money to get enough transfer materials, and he couldn't make up a huge sum of 20 copper coins.

As for Shen Meng...they have already signed the [Devil's Contract], so naturally there is no need to think about it.

Chen Ye said something symbolically, knowing that other people would not rob him, holding the scroll of mountains and rivers in his hand, with a wave of ink, 20 copper coins fell like rain.

In a burst of golden light, the golden real estate contract immediately established contact with Chen Ye...
