Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 96: Puppet Master
"Hello everyone, first time meeting me, I am a puppet master."
This was the first thing a man in strange attire said after he stepped onto the stage.
What the man who called himself a puppet master stepped on was a container that was brought down by the berets. Just now, he was respectfully welcomed to the high platform by groups of dolls and models to speak - without using a microphone, but his voice clearly reached the ears of the 219 people present.
The people who came out of the two containers were forced into a neat line by the plastic mannequins and surrounded - there were originally more than 219 people, but when a dozen or so resisted After the patient's legs were completely separated from the body, the rest of the group remained motionless.
These more than ten half-dead people were carried on the shoulders of the models, and they walked under the stage one after another, as if they were being inspected by the puppeteers. After the man touched each person's forehead once, he shook his head slightly, and the plastic mannequins immediately waved their arms and threw them all into the dry sea, no longer caring about life or death.
At this time, not far from Lin Sanjiu, a pair of legs wrapped in jeans was lying.
"In order to prevent you from getting hurt, I suggest you cooperate with me. My request to everyone is very simple. There is no need to get hurt because of this." The puppet master's voice was very polite with a faint smile. Very considerate of others.
There was a faint commotion in the crowd, but like the last north wind in spring, the commotion quickly disappeared under the gaze of thousands of weird people around.
The puppet master is a man whose age cannot be discerned. Although his temperament and demeanor are like those of a teenager, he exudes an air of age from somewhere. It feels like no matter how old he is, it is no exaggeration. But his attire was too strange - his upper body was wrapped in long black leather strips, and the areas that were not covered exposed his pale and thin skin, which looked like he had been scratched by a leather jacket. It looks like it was put on after it was broken.
On the back of his clothes, there is a huge decoration, which looks a bit like a rooster's comb. It is bright red in color and sways when he walks. On his lower body is a pair of boots that reach to his thighs.
"I have a question."
His voice was very calm, and his next words immediately grabbed Lin Sanjiu's full attention.
"Among the 219 of you, which one is a visa officer?"
The crowd fell silent. Those who looked confused and seemed to want to get answers from others were probably locals - the extreme temperature **** was the first new world they had experienced, and they didn't know about the visa officer yet; they lowered their heads and said nothing, or looked stunned. The one with the color must be from another world.
After waiting for half an hour, no one said anything.
"Oh - as expected, the base number of 219 people is still too small." The puppeteer sighed lightly as if he was a little dissatisfied, and settled for the next best thing: "Okay, then who has the information about the visa officer? News?"
Lin Sanjiu's heart trembled as she thought of Fang Dan - she glanced at Hu Changzai next to her. Knowing that the other party was unlikely to notice her facial expression among more than two hundred people, she still couldn't help concealing it. He seemed to lower his head.
It didn't matter that she lowered her head. She suddenly noticed that the legs of the short man standing in front of her were shaking violently.
She looked at the man a little strangely - although this scene was quite unsettling, who here had not experienced some crisis? Now it was just a man in strange clothes talking. As for being so scared? ?
The short man seemed to be unable to stand firmly, as if he was about to fall down in the next second, but unexpectedly he found the courage to speak, and his voice spread tremblingly: "People, Mr. Puppet Master..."
In the silence, although his voice was not loud, he was still captured by the puppet master on the high platform.
Puppet Master... Sir?
Isn’t this person too lazy?
The man who claimed to be a puppet master had an unknown smile on his face: "You tell me."
"Yes, yes... I spent four or five months searching everywhere for a visa officer in this area, but there are rumors that he went to the north... You may not find it if you look here." The short man replied fearfully.
Lin Sanjiu noticed that he said the words "this area" - could it be that there is more than one visa officer, and there are others in other places?
But think about it, the earth is so big, if there is only one visa officer, the chance of meeting the visa officer is too low.
The puppet master's smile faded, he said "Huh", turned around and asked: "Does anyone else have any information about the visa officer?"
More than two hundred people were silent.
"Oh, okay. It's not that I don't trust you, but I have to check them one by one to know that the visa officer is not hiding anything." The puppet master's voice was still so polite, and he jumped down as he spoke On the high platform, a group of plastic mannequins immediately followed him like bodyguards.
He walked up to the person at the head of the first row. The young man suddenly became defensive: "...What are you going to do?"
"Don't be nervous," the puppet master's tone was very soft, like coaxing a child, but it was still heard clearly by everyone present. "I'm just checking to see if you are a visa officer. It doesn't hurt to check."
As he spoke, he touched the young man's forehead like lightning.
Looking at the young man's appearance, he originally wanted to resist, but he didn't expect that before he took out his weapon, the other party was already finished. It was indeed neither painful nor itchy - he stood there very embarrassed and awkward for a moment. I know how to do it. The puppet master ignored him in disappointment, and when he continued to walk to the second person, the young man shouted: "I'm not a visa officer, can I go?"
The puppet master didn't even look back: "Of course, but you have to wait."
As soon as he finished speaking, a plastic mannequin took a step and blocked the young man's way. The young man remained still in doubt.
At this time, the short man standing in front of Lin Sanjiu cleared his throat in fear and cursed to himself: "Silly x, really stupid..." He grabbed his hands uneasily. My pants look really nervous.
Lin Sanjiu's heart moved, and she lowered her voice and asked, "Hey, which world are you from?"
The short man was stunned and turned half of his face away, as if he didn't expect anyone to talk to him at this time. Although he was unattractive in appearance, his eyes were very flexible. His eyes lingered on Lin Sanjiu's face for a second before he replied: "Ice and Snow Storm. Are you too...?"
Lin Sanjiu nodded and said as if it was a code: "Black Death City." This was the name he saw on Ren Nan's visa.
The short man said "Oh": "I have been there, and the Black Death City has gradually stabilized... Alas, this time I was sent to a rural place like extreme temperature hell. It is not convenient for me to say anything. Unexpectedly..."
Before he finished speaking, he shuddered and swallowed the second half of the sentence.
The companions beside Lin Sanjiu looked at her strangely, and she seemed not to notice it at all. She just followed the short man's words and sighed: "That's it, I didn't expect to be so unlucky this time. I actually met the puppet master..."
The short man's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Have you heard of the name of the puppet master?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't let the confusion in her heart show at all, and just said yes.
"It's rare, it's rare. It turns out that you are also someone who has been to the 'Twelve Central Realms'... Sigh, judging from your appearance, you probably haven't heard of the latest rumors about the puppet master, right?" The short man sighed. He took a breath and suddenly thought of something: "Oh, by the way, my name is Shen Lianqi. Make a friend. Maybe we will meet in the central twelve realms sometime..."
Resisting from asking what the "Twelve Central Realms" were, Lin Sanjiu reported her name, and then asked impatiently: "What is the latest rumor?"
This sentence reminded Shen Lianqi, and his face turned pale again: "It is said that the puppet master's ability has been upgraded. I heard it is quite evil... With his upgrade, the current situation is subtle. After all, he has reached those levels. After the big shots have reached the level, it is too difficult to move up a level, right! No one can say what will happen in the future. Everyone is keeping an eye on the situation. Even those who are always working against the puppet masters have recently been He avoided his limelight and teleported to other new worlds. Well, what does such a big thing have to do with little shrimps like us? I never expected that he would come to this remote place..."
Although there were many things he didn't understand, Lin Sanjiu quickly wrote down every word he said. After thinking carefully for a while, she chose the question that was most likely to make Shen Lianqi speak: "...Do you have any ideas about the puppet master's actions today?"
"Oh, I guessed it too." Shen Lianqi's eyes have been closely following the figure of the puppet master in the team - every time the puppet master touches a person's forehead, there will be a plastic The model stood next to the person. He moved uneasily and said: "I heard that the followers around the puppet master disappeared for a while, and when they reappeared, they had become like those dummies, and they couldn't even laugh. I smiled actively, but my ability is still retained..."
"You also know that the puppet master's soldiers now have no abilities. If it weren't for the 'arsenal', how could he be as powerful as he is now? Rumor has it that his current ability can already transform living people into I have become an adult, so I want to recruit more living people to get rid of the arsenal. But in a place like the Central Twelve Realms, it is not easy to do it casually..."
As soon as Shen Lianqi talked about the big events and gossip that he was passionate about, he started talking endlessly. He didn't notice that Lin Sanjiu and his companions who were listening with bated breath beside him also turned pale.
"You mean, he wants to turn these 219 people into his puppets?"
Shen Lianqi didn't say anything, and after a while he murmured: "Well, let's look at the situation... If it doesn't work, let's each escape according to our own abilities..."
Lin Sanjiu looked at the puppet master not far away in surprise, and exchanged glances with his companions. This Shen Lianqi seems to have experienced a lot of worlds, and he must have a few trump cards, but how can he and the others escape?
The puppet master moved very quickly. In just a short time, he had inspected nearly a hundred people and was not far from Lin Sanjiu and his party. As he got closer and closer, the bright red cockscomb was reflected in the In her field of vision, the creaking sound of the leather as the puppeteer walked could also be clearly heard.
"Xiaojiu, I suddenly remembered something," a rabbit's voice suddenly came from my ears, "Isn't he going to touch everyone's forehead?"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment, then understood.
"Your Wusu poison can kill him in a few seconds. What do we have to fear?"
The rabbit's voice reached the ears of three people at the same time~IndoMTL.com~The expressions of several people suddenly relaxed. Just now, my mind was occupied by names such as Puppet Master and the Central Twelve Realms, and I almost forgot about the Wusu poison on them... Since the plastic models are the abilities of the Puppet Master, as long as he dies, these models will It’s not something to be afraid of.
With this confidence, when the puppet master took his finger off Shen Lianqi's forehead, Lin Sanjiu even hoped that he would reach out his hand quickly.
The puppet master took a step forward, came to Lin Sanjiu, and looked at her with narrowed eyes.
At such a close distance, the puppeteer looks even weirder - a circle of gold powder around his eyes shines in the light of the setting sun; he is very tall, probably over 1.80 meters, but due to His pale skin and thin body made him look intimidating at all.
The puppet master smiled softly and raised a finger. Lin Sanjiu held her breath.
The fingers reached all the way to her forehead and stopped just a few millimeters away from the skin.
"Oh, you have Wusu poison in your body." r1152
