Chapter 342 The Lying Puppet Girl

The mute slaves who "followed" all the way were not immune to the disintegration maze created by the three insect shamans. Even if they were protected by a hard carapace, they could not block the pervasive corrupting gray mist.

The surface of the carapace seems to be only covered with a layer of fine white frost, but if the mute slave makes a casual movement, the white frost will peel off layer by layer, until the muscles and internal organs that should be hidden behind the carapace are exposed, and these organs It goes without saying that the organization is not immune to the influence of erosion. It is highly corrupted by the gray and dead air, and has completely lost its normal shape, making people afraid to look directly at it.

Although the current mute slaves have completely passed the period of corruption and weakening, and their aggressiveness has been greatly increased due to the effect of madness, they have lost their biggest reliance on their hard carapace, and they have no advantage at all when facing the three more powerful Embers.

Ember used his incarnation ability, combined with Qiu Yinong's parasitic crossbow and Miao Miao's alien transformation, to achieve the kill without any twists and turns. Without the second incarnation and the body protection props, Mute Slave could not even compare to Death Soldier No. 1. , at that time, Yi Yan could only rely on the demon incarnation to cooperate with Qiu Yinong to kill him, and now it is even more difficult.

[Tip: You killed the three-star legendary "Crazy Slave" and completely passed the night event, and you will be rewarded with three essence supply packs and one hundred and fifty coins! 】

Counting the fifty coins dropped by the mute slave himself, the number of coins currently owned by the Embers and the three of them has exceeded 600, so the attractiveness of the coins is not even as attractive as the two fusion tree fruits that fell in the coin pile, let alone Those pair of turbid eyes that exuded a faint light.

"Thank God it wasn't all a fool's errand."

Yi Yan picked up the fusion tree fruit and gave one to Miao Miao, making the priority of the demon incarnation and alienation transformation both reach the normal upper limit. Then he carefully took the pair of gold mining props named [Confused Eyes] and took advantage of the situation. The long-awaited prompt message was triggered.

[Tip: Since you successfully collected "Half-Corrupted Heart", "Corrupted Brain" and "Confused Eyes" and met the triggering conditions of the dark mission, please go through the "Misty Path" to receive the dark mission - "Lying Doll" . 】

As the prompt appeared, the corrupted mist shrouding the bonfire actually opened a passage. Ember knew that if he walked along this road, he would inevitably meet directly with a certain Chaos Apostle. Thinking of the relationship between [Colorful Clown] and With [White-faced Clown]'s crazy look, Yu Yan told Qiu Yinong and Miaomiao to stay where they were and walked into the depths of the fog alone.

After walking about fifty meters, a fog door appeared in front of him. Yi Yan took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, stepped into it, and was transported to an extremely crowded wooden house.

After the teleportation, he was in a daze for a moment, making Yi Yan mistakenly think that the wooden house was full of people. He was also surprised at how many Chaos Apostles had come. When his vision returned and he took a closer look, he realized that those figures were not people at all. They were actually one by one. Ingenious human puppet!

Moreover, traces of Nina can be found in every puppet's appearance. If the wooden texture all over the body could be hidden, and a pair of deep eyes were added, he even felt that he could be eighty similar to Nina.

"interesting."

Yi Yan's heart moved slightly, and his eyes immediately fell on the only game character in the room - an old carpenter with an ordinary appearance and wrinkles on his forehead. This person's appearance was not considered kind, but he was different from the vicious Chaos he had seen. The apostle is really far from him. Judging from his skillful carpentry skills, he looks more like a game character used to flesh out the scene.

"Are you wondering about my identity?"

The carpenter stopped what he was doing, patted off pieces of sawdust and rubbed the rough pads of his fingers, then nodded and smiled at the embers: "Don't be surprised, I am a Chaos Apostle, and like many others, I betrayed the Chaos Beacon that I joined the original organization. You are A junior investigator of the Foundation? Haha, that's a coincidence. I was also affiliated with the Foundation before, and I had a good relationship with [Doctor] and [Artisan]. At least... I used to think it was pretty good."

Doctors, craftsmen...

The former seems to be the leader of the foundation's research team, and the latter is at least a senior member of the organization on an equal footing with the old tailor.

The Apostle of Chaos spoke of two incredible figures, which shows that before he betrayed the Foundation, his status was also very high.

Thinking of this, Yi Yan's heart trembled, and he was wary of the sugar-coated bullets that the other party might throw at any time, and thought about whether it was possible for him to just eat the sugar-coated bullets and send the shells back conveniently.

"Let me formally introduce myself. I am [Carpenter]. I have adopted my previous code name in the Foundation, but now others call me Old Carpenter. You can also call me that."

The old carpenter ignored Yu Yan's random thoughts, stood up on his own, and took a human-shaped puppet from the wooden frame.

It is worth mentioning that a spot has been vacated on the wooden frame. It seems that someone rushed before the embers and triggered the dark mission.

Who is the one?

Yu Yan subconsciously thought that he was not a Taoist priest, and he heard that the second [Burning Heart] fell into his hands.

I wonder if this Chaos Apostle will act in accordance with the university's wishes, or will he secretly cooperate with the Chaos Beacon's plot?

"Good baby, look, someone brought your heart, brain and eyes."

When he spoke, the old carpenter held the pupilless face of the human puppet and faced the ember. His face was full of love and affection, which made the ember shudder. He quickly took out the three gold mining tools from the backpack, and then watched the old carpenter remove them one by one. Each one is installed on the body of the humanoid puppet.

Yi Yan didn't see any open mechanism on the puppet's chest or head, but the old carpenter just touched it with his fingers, and the corresponding parts would automatically split. After the heart and brain were installed, they would automatically close to the point where no gaps were visible. , which is enough to show that this person is called "Carpenter", but in fact he has more advanced methods.

Before installing the confused eyes, the old carpenter introduced: "[The Flesh Apple Tree] is an abnormal project I borrowed from the Chaos Lighthouse. As for where it originally grew, you should know that it is jointly managed by the three major organizations in the Paradise World. That [manor], and the value of this apple tree alone is enough to be worth less than half of the manor. Its trunk material is exactly the same as the human body, and it can even make the puppet inherit some of the abnormal characteristics of the flesh-and-blood apple tree."

So there is such an allusion?

Yi Yan raised his eyebrows and heard the old carpenter smile faintly: "Hey, it was for this reason that I joined the foundation. I lay dormant for several years and worked hard for the foundation before I had the opportunity to steal fruit trees."

With that said, the old carpenter completed the installation steps of the confused eyes, making the humanoid puppet one step closer to Nina.

Yi Yan looked at the human puppet silently, waiting for the old carpenter to give it life, and found that it blinked at him. Although its eyes were still full of turbidity, a vague agility could be seen.

"Life is often born in unexpected moments, and puppets are no exception."

The old carpenter looked at the living human puppet with loving eyes, and said earnestly: "Today, you will be taken away by this man. Remember what I said to you. If you are taken away by the dirty people that can be seen everywhere in the world, If you are frightened by dirty scenes, then use lies to protect yourself.”

[Tip: You have officially triggered the dark mission - "Lying Puppet"! 】

…

Mission name: [Lying Puppet]

Requirement: Let the puppet get rid of his bad habit of lying

Reward: Unknown

Introduction: The three major organizations in the Chaos Beacon and the Paradise World have launched a protracted discussion on "returning from evil to righteousness". Now the carpenters from the Chaos Beacon use sin-stained flesh and blood tree trunks as raw materials, supplemented by "half-rotten hearts" soaked in death. ", "Corrupted Brain" and "Confused Eyes" create such a special being who is born evil to verify whether it is really possible to change the lying nature etched in his blood through acquired guidance.

[Tip: If you want to complete this task, you need to meet three conditions: eliminate corruption (achieved), reverse corruption (unachieved), and illuminate confusion (unachieved). 】

[Warning: If the puppet bears the "Fruit of Lies" before the mission is completed, the mission will fail. 】

[Tip: If you cannot change the puppet's lies in time, the condensation progress of the "Fruit of Lies" will accelerate. 】

[Tip: You can name the puppet and take it out of the copy space, but outside the copy space, the puppet will not receive special protection. Once the puppet dies, the mission will also fail, and you will leave the puppet in the copy space for more than Within a certain time limit, the condensation progress of the "Fruit of Lies" will also automatically increase. 】

[Current “Fruit of Lies” condensation progress: 0/100]

[If you find it too difficult or have no clue, you can ask me for an easier way to complete it - "Carpenter"]

…

Lying?

It seems that the prototype of Dark Mission is Pinocchio?

[Removing Corruption] has been achieved, it should be the function of Burning Heart, but how to get the last two items, there is not even a hint?

Well, I will go to the gold rush town later and ask the wise man for consultation first. Although the mission does not say that he knows the details, it is useless to ask!

In the end, I probably have to find the foundation or the shadow lady for help...

As for asking the old carpenter for a simple method, there is no need yet.

Yu Yan rubbed his chin, retracted his reverie, and looked at the timid human-shaped puppet. He did not immediately notice that this appearance was the special existence of a 28-year-old girl. There was no evil connotation in it. The curious expression visible to the naked eye seemed to be that of an innocent child full of longing. The girl's little head was turning back and forth, looking at everything in the wooden house, enjoying the beauty of life.

"What name would you give it?" the old carpenter suddenly asked.

"Nina." Ember said without thinking.

"Nina, Nina..." After the old carpenter murmured, he turned to look at the puppet, "Do you like this name?"

"like!"

The puppet girl's answer was very straightforward, but Ember immediately frowned because——

[Tip: The condensation progress of "Fruit of Lies" has been temporarily increased to five points. 】

No...

Is this starting to lie?

If I remember correctly, this was the first thing you said after you were born, right?

Although the old carpenter said that you can lie to protect yourself after being frightened by the dirty scene, but the problem is that you have only seen the world a few times and are you frightened?

Wait... Normal people might be frightened when they see pupilless puppets that are identical to themselves, and there are a lot of them.

After all, this puppet is more difficult to maintain than imagined.

A bit dumbfounded, Ember then remembered that he could avoid progress improvement by changing his lie, and hurriedly said: "Actually, you can name yourself."

"But I really like the name Nina!"

[Tip: The condensation progress of "Fruit of Lies" has been temporarily increased to ten points. 】

The puppet girl blinked her eyes and lied without blushing or out of breath. If it weren't for the system prompts, Yi Yan would have been completely unable to guess the other person's true thoughts. In order to prevent a mistake from triggering a chain reaction, Yi Yan simply took on the role of a parent. He shook his head forcefully and said, "No, I know you don't like it, so I still suggest that you choose a name you really like after seeing the world."

"All right."

The exposed puppet girl acted like a normal person, showing no trace of guilt. If not for the condensation progress back to zero, which comforted Yi Yan, otherwise he would really have to imitate some parents of naughty children and scrunch up their foreheads.

This experience also made Yi Jin realize that he should pay attention to the way he speaks and not ask questions casually, so as not to lead to too many lies and not have time to correct them quickly.

"Your Excellency, I'd like to take my leave." Yi Jin didn't dare to waste too much time.

"I welcome you to take Nina with you at any time... let's just call her by this name and come back to my place to have a look."

The old carpenter smiled kindly, waved goodbye to the puppet girl, and watched the ember disappear through the fog door with it. Then he looked at the wooden frame with two vacancies, nodded and said: "Only two are given away... It should be enough, right?" .”

…

After returning to the embers in the forest, he was about to take the puppet girl to the bonfire, but on the way he heard the other party say: "I suddenly feel that the name Nina is not unacceptable."

[Tip: The condensation progress of "Fruit of Lies" has been temporarily increased to five points. 】

Holy shit!

This lie is really hard to detect!

"Wait until you really think about it before making a decision."

Ember feels that he must adapt to the role of a strict parent as soon as possible, otherwise he may be beaten by the puppet girl's continuous lies at some point. At the same time, he is also lucky to have obtained the Burning Heart in advance, otherwise who knows whether the situation will be worse. severe?

"I would rather face the Big Bad Wolf every day than deal with such a difficult character. Could it be that the original intention of this mission was to test the player's mind? Then the designer is too boring, right?"

Ember cursed in his heart, and brought the puppet girl to join his teammates. He first explained the mission in a few words, and then headed towards the sand sea. He felt that he needed to kill the five-star wolf as quickly as possible, and then asked the Shadow Lady for advice. , otherwise, maybe if he doesn’t come tomorrow, he will face mission failure...
