mysterious forerunner

Chapter 44 Don’t be afraid, fellow countrymen

Ye Chengfa followed the convoy in front and watched them drive into an old factory area in the east of the city.

The factory gate is still the old one, made of thick iron sheets and steel pipes welded together, with pulleys made of bearings underneath.

When the motorcade arrived, two men in security uniforms took the initiative to open the door and let them in without even asking.

Ye Chengfa had just come out of Gushan and was not familiar with the original city.

However, the movements of the two "security guards" just now seemed stiff and awkward.

"Zombie?" Ye Chengfa quickly shook his head: "No, there is no corpse smell."

"Mechanism puppet?"

Ye Chengfa smiled confidently, and quickly produced a series of spells with both hands. Then with a hiss, a red flame appeared between his palms as he opened them.

Immediately, the flame seemed to have its own intelligence, twisting and twisting like a spiritual snake.

"My Heavenly Master's [Thirteen Fire Techniques] can restrain the puppet mechanism technique."

Ye Chengfa fell from the air and strolled to the door.

Crunchy——

The two security guards walked out of the guard room again. Ye Chengfa glanced at it and saw two wooden faces with stiff and fake smiles - hum, it was indeed puppetry!

Moreover, they are wooden puppets. This Heavenly Master will burn you all with just one fire.

But business matters are more important at this time, and let you two little demons live a little longer.

Two machine puppets opened the door a small crack, and Ye Chengfa walked in with a flick of his sleeves.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh -"

As soon as you entered the door, rhythmic mechanical sounds sounded quickly.

But across the door, outside the factory, you couldn't hear anything.

Ye Chengfa frowned and quietly approached a factory.

The factory building has a vast space, five meters high, twenty meters wide and fifty meters long.

There is a huge textile machine placed in the factory, and those rhythmic mechanical sounds are made by the textile machine.

There are dozens of machine puppets, carefully operating the machines.

They fed piles of scrap iron into the machine, and finally spit out pieces of woven iron armor from the exit of the machine.

There was a team of puppets pushing carts to transport the armor.

Ye Chengfa walked around to the other end of the factory building, wanting to see where the armor would be sent.

But suddenly his ears moved and he heard a clicking sound coming from the distance.

A group of patrolling puppets walked in neat steps.

They carry crossbows, hold long swords, and wear iron armor. They look "elite" at first glance.

Ye Chengfa smiled contemptuously, pinched a magic formula in his hand, and then leaned down to the flower bed outside the factory, blending into one with the green plants in the flower bed.

Click, click, click - the patrol passed by, Ye Chengfa thought to himself: "These elm lumps have no intelligence, how can they see through this heavenly master's invisibility..."

As soon as this proud thought came to mind, the patrolling puppets suddenly stopped, then turned left in unison, facing the flower bed together.

Ye Chengfa was stunned for a moment, and then saw the leader of the team. One of his eyes flipped over, releasing two criss-crossing red lines of light that swept across the flower bed and factory building.

Like a radar...

Ye Chengfa's figure was immediately exposed!

Ye Chengfa cursed: "What the hell is this..."

He straightened up and soared into the sky like a roc. As he waved his hands, pieces of flames fell from the sky.

woohoo hoo...

A sea of ​​​​fire quickly formed and rolled towards the puppets.

But these flames were all blocked by the armor.

The puppet may really be made of wood, but if it wears iron armor, the armor has incredibly powerful defense! "What's going on?!" Ye Chengfa was stunned.

The puppet at the head of the team raised his Chang Ge high and pointed at Ye Chengfa.

The remaining eleven puppets around it uniformly took off the crossbows on their backs and fired them out with a whoosh.

Ye Chengfa snorted coldly, and his body rolled and flashed dexterously in the air: "A small trick..."

But the next moment, the eleven fired crossbow arrows each changed.

Some exploded into countless flying fireballs.

Some made sharp ghostly cries, turned into a dried ghost baby head, opened its sharp teeth and opened its mouth, dragged a long tail of dark ghost energy, chased his neck and bit it.

Some turned into a long red rope, thick with blood, which must be tied into a special posture.

Some flew straight into the sky, and then turned into a black rain of fire, rumbling down.

……

Ye Chengfa was immediately thrown into a panic. He temporarily added a "Tiangang Protective Curse" to himself, but he only resisted it for a few times before he was swallowed by a big-bellied hungry ghost transformed into a crossbow arrow!
In the hungry ghost's belly, there were hundreds of tiny machine arms that locked his whole body tightly.

Ye Chengfa suddenly felt that all his "mana" was contaminated by ghost energy and could not be mobilized.

Immediately, another seed exuding a stiff, cold breath was delivered, and it was about to be planted in his navel!

Ye Chengfa understood: "This is the origin of those puppets..."

The seeds will take root in their own belly, grow along their own blood vessels and meridians, and turn themselves into a wooden puppet!

A great fear surged from Ye Chengfa's heart. He seemed to have seen his future self, and his whole body gradually became stiff and unable to move. He knew that the "whiskers" born from that kind of child would wrap around his heart and penetrate into his body. Brain, pierce his eyeballs... but there is nothing he can do!
He wanted to struggle, roar, and save himself—all were delusions.

The look in Ye Chengfa's eyes began to fade:
"It turns out that this era is not my chance, but my grave!"

"These evil spirits are far beyond my imagination!"

"If I had a second chance, I would choose not to leave the mountain..."

Suddenly, he heard a strange clicking sound in his ears, and the machine arm that was planting the puppet seed into his navel paused for a moment.

Then there was a click, and a big hole was punched through the body of the "hungry ghost" that had swallowed him.

The hole was above his head, and pieces of various mechanisms were falling down.

"Hungry Ghost" was completely stuck and unable to move.

Before Ye Chengfa could figure out the situation, he saw a face suddenly appear outside the hole, shouting inside: "Is there anyone there?"

"Yes!" Ye Chengfa reacted instantly and shouted hysterically: "Help——"

"Okay." The other party agreed, and then with a flash of green light in his hand, the hungry ghost was completely dismantled.

……

A few minutes later, the shivering Ye Chengfa was wrapped in a blanket, his head lowered and silent.

Zhang Qingxiang and nine other students stood around him intact, and the rhythmic mechanical roar in the factory area completely disappeared.

The mystery has been solved.

Feng Lintong sympathized with him: "This person broke in by mistake. He was almost made into a puppet. Look at it, it's scary."

The blanket was given to him by Tian Mingkun, and all his clothes were torn when he was in the belly of the hungry ghost.

Tian Mingkun is such a kind-hearted person: "Fellow, who are you? Do you want us to send you to the hospital for a checkup? Don't worry, all the hospital expenses can be reimbursed by Xinchunhe..."

Ye Chengfa: "I..."

I'm really here to protect you.

But in the end, I was protected by you. What happened?
It makes me embarrassed to say my identity.

Tian Mingkun: "I'm too frightened. Let me calm down."

Ye Chengfa suddenly reacted: What do you mean when you keep calling me fellow?
Oh, by the way, you reminded me so thoughtfully just now that hospital expenses can be reimbursed by 'Sinchon Hop'... I seem to be someone who can't afford medical expenses?

I have lived in Gushan for many years, but it’s not so obvious, right?
