Chapter 155 The Attack of the Red Priest (3rd Update)

Miss Puppet recalled for a moment in her mind, organized her words, and kept her thoughts fluent and clear as she spoke:

"I had the accident around the 5th, which was probably the first nightless night of Bloodfall."

"That night, I vaguely remember that the pedestrian street was very active."

"But I returned to the store very early and stayed in the puppet factory all the time. I don't remember going out."

"At that time, I had just been promoted to the second-level [Puppet Master]. After trying the career change, I became very excited about the powerful characteristics of the advanced features and almost devoted myself to the study of puppets."

"The puppet factory is located in the block behind the old city of the pedestrian street. Most of the surrounding shops are wholesale warehouses with iron doors and simple and rough decoration styles. Few players come and go around there."

"In my puppet factory, it is basically impossible to successfully launch an attack on me."

"There are my rules there."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Ye was slightly surprised, and his eyes looking at Miss Puppet suddenly changed.

I originally thought that I should be one of the first players to own real estate on the pedestrian street.

But it turns out that sometimes luck is much more important than hard work.

Some players already have their own property at the beginning.

However, thinking of that flower boy, Chen Ye suddenly felt that Miss Puppet's luck seemed nothing compared to the real European emperor.

Hearing this, Chen Ye suddenly stopped talking and asked in confusion:

"Since you are in your own shop and protected by the deed rules, it should be difficult to be attacked. Why did this happen?"

Combined with what Miss Puppet said...

The time of the accident was April 5th, the night of no night.

The location was located in the puppet factory, which belonged to Miss Puppet's own property.

Sudden attack and loss of control...

This is a bit unbelievable.

After all, the rules of the property are very protective of the shop owner.

There are generally protective rules in the deed.

If it is an aboriginal, most of them will not take action in the target's territory because of the rule of "seeking benefits and avoiding harm".

But if it is a player...

To do this on the fifth day of the advent, the requirements are simply very high!

Miss Puppet thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible that it was a player."

"In order to earn more profits from the store, I once posted the location of the store on the forum."

"Perhaps some customers with mental control, pretending to be normal guests, visited the puppet factory, and suddenly launched a special means of mental control on me."

"The rules of the puppet factory are that you cannot launch attacks. If you violate the rules, you will be besieged by puppets."

"In theory, if mental attack skills successfully control me in a very short time, and then order the puppets in the factory to stop moving, it can also be achieved."

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes:

"In other words... the thing that attacked you is more likely to be a player?"

Miss Puppet thought carefully for a while, and then nodded:

"Although I can't be sure, the threat I intuitively felt at the last moment of my memory was more like coming from a player, not a native... Everything happened too quickly, as if I suddenly lost control of my self-consciousness, and the whole process seemed to be premeditated."

Chen Ye nodded slightly, he thought that Miss Puppet's judgment was not completely unreasonable.

The actions of the natives strictly abide by the rules of role-playing.

If it was in the form of a collision of rules, it would inevitably cause a big commotion.

But according to Miss Puppet, before the memory, she was concentrating on transforming the puppets, and she didn't remember what was happening around her very clearly.

When you focus on doing things, it is often easy to ignore the changes around you.

But if the natives broke into the store and collided with the rules, it would inevitably cause a big commotion.

It is unlikely that Miss Puppet had no impression of this at all.

Then...

This attack is very likely to be premeditated.

The enemy lurking in the dark, with a full understanding of the operating mechanism of the puppet factory, created targeted means, attacked in an unexpected way, quickly controlled Miss Puppet, and then ordered the puppets in the factory to lift the alert.

It is unlikely that the natives can do this, but more like a planned player!

Things have become confusing again.

At the Blue Mountain Cafe, using [Voice of the Dead] to learn from the corpse of Northrend that the mastermind behind the scenes was clearly Von Lucius, the bishop of the Church of the Burning Sun who should have died a hundred years ago, a powerful and mysterious aboriginal.

But the attacker who controlled Miss Puppet was closer to a player.

What exactly is the mastermind behind the scenes?

Is it an aboriginal or a player?

The atmosphere became heavy again.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Miss Puppet said again with an apologetic look.

"You don't need to apologize to us. This is an enemy that appeared in the dark, and you are just a victim." Chen Ye said calmly, "On the contrary, you can provide so much information, which is more valuable."

Miss Puppet's originally scattered and dim pupils suddenly seemed to have some brilliance.

Chenxi couldn't help but smile knowingly, and looked at Miss Puppet with a soft look:

"If you don't mind, you can continue to stay in the church for a while."

"You should have known these days that the pedestrian street has become a pollution paradise, full of dangers. Even if you can successfully return to your puppet factory, it is not safe nearby."

"Why not stay in the church for a while and see when the pollution there is lifted before going back."

Miss Puppet was silent for a moment, didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

Just then.

Chen Ye suddenly felt the spirituality's prying eyes coming again.

This time, he could feel the eyes in the dark, with ill intentions.

However, unlike the pure evil thoughts cast by the red priest, it seems that there is a conspiracy in the dark.

"Isn't it that bishop?"

Chen Ye felt that this sight came from another different existence.

The mixed emotions in the eyes were more complicated, but none of them were well-intentioned.

This feeling was not only directed at Chen Ye, but also included Chenxi and Miss Puppet beside him.

Facing this different sense of threat...

Chen Ye remained calm, suddenly looked out the window, and said with a concerned look:

"The wind outside is a bit cold, which may be bad for your health. I'll go and close it."

The moment the window was closed, Chen Ye locked the specific position of the peeper through the halo, and saw the figure clearly with the help of the light and shadow reflected on the glass!

It was a man about 25 years old, wearing a black suit and elegant manners. He came to the auditorium as a guest official to worship, and while talking to the priest, he secretly glanced at the room in the public lounge with his peripheral vision.

"Player?"

Chen Ye's eyes moved, and through the other party's expression and behavior, he immediately saw the difference from the aborigines.

Compared with the aborigines who follow the role-playing rules and are more rigid, the characteristics of the player are too easy to identify.

If you don't have professional training and enough acting skills, you can almost see it at a glance.

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly realized something:

"Northrend is purely a cannon fodder."

"There are more than one such cannon fodder, and there may be many more."

"In addition to the mastermind whose identity has not yet been determined, it is unknown how many players are lurking in the dark, serving the real mastermind."

"The number of enemies is greater than expected..."

And, judging from the intention conveyed by this gaze, the other party even has the intention to take action in the church!

This is a bit intriguing.

If you dare to take action inside the church, you must be a master, and you definitely won't dare to do so!

Chen Ye secretly signaled Chenxi with his eyes.

"Ding!"

Suddenly, a notification sound of the bloody mobile phone came from Chenxi's pocket.

She quickly took it out and looked at it, and her eyes were immediately moved.

The player who sent this message was actually Chen Ye beside him?

[Chen Ye: I have a plan later, and I need you to cooperate with me a little. 】

…………

Dusk sank to the earth, and night fell quietly.

The crimson moonlight shines through the window screen into the dark auditorium, and everything is silent.

Tonight.

Chen Ye stayed in the church.

According to Chen Xi, the church is a place of refuge, and staying here is safer than the polluted paradise.

They plan to go to the plantation tomorrow.

Since the copy of the plantation has the word "polluted", it means that the profession of the [Fiery Sun] sequence happens to have a restraining characteristic.

Therefore, Chen Ye plans to team up with Chen Xi to see if he can pass the [polluted plantation].

Judging from the scale of the plantation, if all the trees there can be cut down...

The hull materials needed to build the ghost ship will no longer be a problem.

At this time.

In the church, there was a sudden poet-like singing voice-

"Sleep deeply! Sleep!"

"Children in the dark..."

"You will wander in dreams, let go of worldly troubles, and get spiritual liberation!"

The layers of poetry reciting echoed in the empty church.

Suddenly...

Chen Ye felt a strong sense of sleepiness, and he lowered his head and let his hands fall naturally, as if he was in a state of sleep.

The next second, his body suddenly stood up like a zombie, with his eyes closed, as if he was in a state of sleepwalking, and he pushed open the door of the auditorium and came to the semicircular Roman Forum outside the church.

Under the crimson moonlight, the square was almost full of sleeping figures of homeless people.

Last time, the church was bombed, but it did not affect these homeless people gathering here to seek shelter.

Chen Ye stepped directly on the faces of these homeless people and walked out of the block.

When his figure was submerged in the dim street, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Under the crimson moonlight, a dark figure outline was shrouded in a red hood.

In a daze...

Chen Ye's spirituality seemed to suddenly feel a warning of danger and suddenly opened his eyes.

The next second,

The figure of the red-clothed priest was reflected in his pupils.

The red priest raised his lips slightly and uttered a hoarse voice:

"It's time to go to hell, devil!"
