Chapter 23 The Puppet Show(1/2)
The third carriage is a cemetery, surrounded by decayed iron fences. Under the dim light, the writing on the tombstones is blurry. At the other end of the cemetery is a dilapidated church, and the door of the church is the connection between the carriages.
Door.
On the bell tower of the church, a group of black crows flew out, and the bells sounded with a shabby feel.
The black crow cries and flies into the darkness.
The cemetery seemed to be disturbed, and the ground rose rapidly. Then one coffin broke out of the ground, and the bells in the church bell tower became more rapid.
As creaking sounds continued, the lid of the standing coffin opened, revealing the mummy wrapped in a shroud inside. The mummies walked out of the coffin with their arms stretched out and their feet stiff. They screamed, black
The corpse air seeped out from under the shroud.
The sandpaper man who came in first waved his hand, and several screwdrivers flew out of the tool bag and shot at the nearby mummy. The force of the screwdriver was very strong, and it easily penetrated the mummy's body, leaving round holes in it.
But this kind of attack can only make the mummy pause for a moment, and then continue to move over step by step.
The flying screwdriver circled around, penetrated several mummies, and returned to the sandpaper.
"Governor, are these monsters unkillable?"
Luke held the steel wings that turned into blazing feathers of the long sword and danced a sword flower, and a layer of holy flames adhered to the blade.
"These are monsters transformed from the energy of the abyss. They can be easily purified using magic with sacred attributes and combat skills. They can also be killed by destroying the core at the heart. However, since they are transformed monsters, as long as the secret magic is running,
They are just endless.
Only by finding the Abyss Master hidden here can the secret technique be cracked."
After listening to what Luke said, Sandpaper threw out all the screwdrivers around him, targeting the mummy's heart. Sure enough, just as Luke said, after the heart was pierced, the mummy immediately fell straight down and scattered into ashes.
Integrate into the underground.
At the same time, several coffins in the cemetery shook a few times, and the intact mummies walked out of them.
Sandpaper asked: "Didn't you say that when the train moves, the Abyss Masters can only face us? Why are we still looking for them?"
Luke swung his sword, without any fancy sword skills, and the holy flames swept across it, and the mummy's whole body burned as soon as it touched a spark.
"This is already facing us. If the Abyss Mage is outside the carriage, the power of the secret skills in each carriage will increase exponentially." Luke lit several more mummies that were close to him, and then said to the sandpaper: "Abyss Mage
Hidden in one of the coffins, he will be left to you and Kestrel to deal with. I will go directly to the next compartment, and the next compartment is the front of the car.
We can't waste time."
Sandpaper replied: "Just leave it to me. Let Kestrel rush over with you and hurry up to save Boiling."
The sandpaper hair flew, and the screwdriver turned into a stream of light and quickly shuttled among the mummies. The mummies fell down layer by layer like flowers blooming.
Anxious to rescue the boiling Kestrel, she obeyed the instructions of Sandpaper. She held the rapier and rushed forward. The light of the sword was like lightning. With every flash, a mummy was stabbed in the heart and fell down.
Sandpaper and Kestrel kill quickly, and the coffin refreshes mummies quickly, and the mummies move out one by one.
Luke did not insist on letting Kestrel stay. He swept out his sword, and the holy flame flew out from the sword, turning into a crescent slash and sweeping towards the mummy blocking the way in front. The road to the dilapidated church was cleared.
As long as the mummy did not block the road again, Luke quickly rushed over with the kestrel.
Rushing and killing, Luke rushed to the door and opened it. The kestrel dodged and got into the light curtain.
Luke looked back at the sandpaper, and there were mummies stuffed between him and her. He chopped down several mummies that were approaching, and Luke turned around and got into the light curtain.
dark!
Darkness without a trace of light.
Even though the steel wings of the glowing feathers were burning with holy flames, they still couldn't illuminate the nearby area, and the kestrel disappeared. A flash of electricity danced in Luke's left eye, and there was an image in his field of vision, but there was no color in the image, everything was gone.
It's black and white.
The appearance of the carriage has not changed. This is the rest area for the crew. There is still unfinished coffee on the table and there are papers scattered on the floor. It can be seen how hurried the crew was when they were notified to go to the No. 9 carriage.
The black and white tones made Luke feel like he was watching a silent film from a long time ago.
The undead in Heart-Eating Pollen.
Man-eating vines under the bloody jungle.
Mummy in Deathstroke Cemetery.
There are three carriages and three different secret techniques. The other carriages should also be arranged in the same way. This is a temporary assassination, and the Abyss Temple has prepared so many secret techniques. It really wants to put himself and Agatha to death!
As for the current condition of this carriage.
It is the secret technique exclusive to the third apostle Belga: black and white puppetry.
This carriage is the spectator stand, and the front of the train has been transformed into a puppet show stage by secret magic.
I'm late?
not late!
The dark curtain has not yet been lifted, the puppet show has not yet begun.
Luke put away his blazing steel wings and walked forward, sitting down behind a table.
The black curtain covering the entire carriage dissipated, and the seats were instantly filled with spectators. However, the spectators were all puppets, their faces were painted with bright white paint, and their facial features were lifeless, exuding a deep sense of terror.
"Sir, which drama do you want to watch?"
A puppet waiter came to Luke's side carrying a tray. There were several wood chips in the tray, and the play was written on the wood chips.
Luke looked through the wood chips at random.
"The Secret Room of Cobb's Toast", "The Scream", "Rabbit's Foot", "Eyes at the Bottom of the River"...
We can't tell much from the title of the play, but these are murder cases a hundred years ago, and they remain unsolved to this day.
The third apostle Belga is a fan of deep suspense reasoning. His hobby is to assist the Public Security Department in investigating cases as a private detective. The more difficult the case is to solve, the more interested he is.
After transforming into an apostle of the abyss, Belga created a secret technique with its own plot killing according to his hobbies.
The black-and-white puppet show is a secret technique that even the players have not discovered the loopholes in. As long as the puppet show starts, the players can only follow the plot and choose one of the many options based on the clues on the stage to promote the plot.
If the player cannot find the murderer in time, he will die once he encounters the murderer. But because even Belga does not know who the murderer is, there are no correct answers to these puppet shows. Unless the player is strong enough to break through the secrets with force and cleverness.
technique, otherwise just wait for resurrection.
Kestrel disappeared because she ran around after entering and was captured by the secret technique and taken backstage to prepare for acting on stage.
Luke sat in the audience and acted as an audience member watching the puppet show.
Now the door to the locomotive is closed, and the puppet show stage has not appeared, which means that the puppet show has not started yet. But as long as Luke chooses the play, the puppet show will start immediately. Luke, who has not been caught on the stage, still has a chance to escape the secret technique
, but Boiling and Kestrel must die.
There are real audiences in the stands of the puppet show, so the puppet show cannot start randomly.
Luke threw the pieces of wood into the tray: "Is there any theater company that neglects the audience so much? This kind of play is very long, shouldn't the audience be given a cup of tea first?"
The puppet waiter was stunned for a moment, then apologized: "I'm sorry, sir! I'll pour you tea right away."
The puppet waiter turned around and brought the tea set and poured Luke a cup of hot tea. Although everything was in black and white, you could still see the light smoke rising from the tea.
"Sir, which drama do you want to watch?"
Luke drank tea and said: "The Untold Story of Young Men and Women in the Flower Fields"
The puppet waiter was stunned again and said: "I'm sorry, sir! You can only choose the plays we have."
"Oh, I can only choose the plays you have?" Luke turned over the wooden pieces again: "Is there any simpler scene? It would be best to have a room and a bed. The plot should not be so complicated. There should not be too many characters, two
Just one person.
any recommended?"
The puppet waiter almost crashed due to Luke's request. It replied: "I'm sorry, sir! We don't have a play that meets your requirements in our repertoire. Please choose a play from there and we will perform it for you right away."
Luke suddenly understood and said: "Just choose a play?"
"Yes, sir!"
"I don't know much about these plays." Luke said with a smile: "Tell me the general content of these plays, and I will listen to which play is interesting."
…
To deal with the black-and-white puppet show, players have concluded that they occupy the audience position and prevent the puppet show from starting. Maintaining the secret technique continuously consumes energy. As long as it is delayed for a long time, the third apostle will be unable to withstand it and jump out.
And when delaying time, you also need to pay attention to strategy, you can't make unreasonable demands, you can't not talk... you have to keep rubbing the edges, wandering on the edge of the rules of the occult, and just don't go any further.
As long as the triggering conditions of the secret are infinitely close, Belga, as the creator of the secret, cannot change the rules of the secret.
All he could do was wait or wait.
There is a startup bug in Luka's secret technique. Using the rich experience of veteran players, as long as Belga doesn't pop out, he will run out of energy due to absolute energy consumption.
Of course...it was hard to catch Belga, but it would be bad if he ran away.
I don’t know how long it will take for sandpaper to deal with the Abyss Mage next door.
The puppet waiter gave a brief summary of the plot of each play according to Luke's request.
"Sir, which drama do you want to watch?"
Luke said: "I want to watch them all! But I am very dissatisfied with your plot arrangements. Can your theater company adapt these plays, mix and reorganize the plots, advance multiple cases together, and kill more people?"
To be continued...
