Chapter 52: The Dance of the Puppets

After Sophie let out a cheerful cry, she landed in front of Ackerman.

Although the plague bird has intelligence as a companion species, she is in the body of a bird after all, so she cannot speak.

Fortunately, Eric had converted certain predetermined codes into certain actions to express them. Therefore, the plague bird did not need to speak. He only had to perform the previously agreed actions to inform Ackerman of the specific situation.

After Sophie discovered that Ackerman had noticed her, she flew around Ackerman twice and chirped twice again.

This is the code word that was previously determined. Flying twice represents plan two, which is the node release plan. Two chirps represent success, and three chirps represent failure.

Then, Sophie spread her wings and flew to the high altitude filled with dark red clouds and mist, disappearing into the red mist. Then, Sophie's loudest cry came from the sky above this area.

"Chirp! Chirp~~Chirp!"

One is short, one is long, and one is short.

Sophie repeated it three times.

This means gathering. The location of the gathering has been decided before.

After chirping, Sophie turned around and left, flying in another direction.

It's over here, she needs to continue to inform other escapees.

These signals from Sophie made the people who were dealing with Black Jack happy.

Dealing with Black Jack is not a good job. This job is like fighting with death.

If you lose, you'll get nothing, if you win, you'll lose half your life.

The six people responsible for dealing with the situation, Henry and Carl, have already exited. Alice, the puppet master's only core prop, was cut into eight pieces. It is not known whether she can still use it after she picked it up.

Bartender Tamir does not have the ability to deal with people head-on.

Therefore, of the six people, Ackerman and Badal are now the only ones left who can continue to fight Black Jack.

But it can be seen from the previous situation that Ackerman was the only one who faced Black Jack in the end. Badal was strong but could not run fast.

In this venue where Black Jack has gradually formed a field of white mist, only Ackerman using the Blessing of Swiftness can be slightly superior in speed.

Therefore, if the node is not solved after a while, Ackerman can only ask them to give up entangled with Black Jack.

After being entangled for so long, they have almost used their trump cards. If they continue to fight, they will be risking their lives.

In the academy, a quote passed down by the Lord of Disaster has been circulating.

"Fate never favors those who bet on life. Idiots who take life as a bet will eventually be swallowed by death."

But what’s interesting is that it is said that the Lord of Disaster himself seems to be a gambling dog. Before the rise of the Lord of Disaster in the early stage, he won all this by gambling. Therefore, many people think that this sentence should

It's not what the Lord of Disaster said.

But it doesn’t matter whether this sentence was said by the Lord of Disaster or not.

Anyway, the Wolf Academy where Ackerman works has always advocated a teaching policy that focuses on preserving life. As a Wolf School, missing a single hit and escaping thousands of miles away is their style.

Ackerman didn't know that Black Jack was furious with the puppet at this time.

He thought Black Jack was chasing Badal now.

Badal provoked Black Jack before to save himself, so he couldn't do anything to let Ackerman leave at this time.

Ackerman picked up the fang hanging on his chest with his hand, held it in his palm, put it against his forehead, closed his eyes and prayed to his father, then carefully put the fang back into his collar with a firm look.

There is only one chance left for Swift Blessing. If you use it well, there is hope that we can leave together safely!

Just as Ackerman was about to step into the white mist, suddenly, about ten meters to his right, behind an abandoned oil drum, a man stood up and whispered a warning to Ackerman.

"pusi~pusi!"

Hearing a sound that sounded like a squirrel beside him, Ackerman turned his head and looked around. Then, he was surprised to see that his five teammates were actually standing behind the oil drum!

Henry and Carl, who had been relieved of their weakness at some point, as well as Tamir, who had been hiding, as well as the puppet master Rabu, and Badal, who he thought was being hunted by Black Jack.

I don’t know when these five people got together!

Seeing that they were calling him, Ackerman naturally stepped forward to join them without hesitation.

He did not ask Henry and Karl when and how they recovered. When he looked at them, their expressions were as usual, without any change.

Although he doesn't know much about human nature.

But he saw with his own eyes that Henry and Carl were actually stabbed for entangling Black Jack.

The two of them have already made sacrifices, so this is at least the same attitude. It would be a bit rude to ask questions about many things.

They also wanted to save their lives, and no one had the right to let the two of them sacrifice their own lives in exchange for their safety.

There is nothing wrong with doing so.

When Henry and Karl approached Ackerman, their faces were still a little embarrassed and flustered, but when they saw Ackerman, they didn't have any annoyed expressions, and they didn't give them strange looks, but spoke to them.

asked.

"How did you get together?"

Labu patted the dust on his legs that had just rubbed against the stone, and then said.

"Of course it's Sophie~ We all heard her shouting to gather together. Then, when Sophie was about to leave, I asked Sophie to bring us together, and Sophie took me to find you. Just now she

Just flew away~"

After listening to Rab's explanation, Ackerman nodded with enlightenment.

That’s right, why didn’t I think of that just now!

Sophie has a full field of vision, and it was not difficult to find Black Jack with the help of Sophie before. Now it is not difficult for Sophie to avoid Black Jack and bring them together.

"That's not Badal."

The thing that confused Ackerman the most was Badal. Black Jack had released the fog hounds before, but he was still able to escape unscathed. Could it be that he was hiding his strength?!

When he mentioned this, Rab's face instantly fell.

Badal also scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile.

"It's Rab, he replaced me with Alice"

It's okay not to mention it, but when it comes to mentioning it, Rab reminds him of Alice who lost contact after being found by Black Jack.

When he thought of his beloved Alice falling into the hands of Black Jack, and not knowing what Black Jack did to her, which caused her to completely lose contact, Rab felt his mouth taste bitter and he felt helpless.

Yan's grief and anger gathered in his chest and lingered for a long time.

Facing Raab, whose face was completely gloomy, Ackerman smiled sarcastically.

In Mandela Continent, who doesn’t know how precious and loving puppet masters are to their puppets? For puppet masters, their puppets are their significant other. Now the other half has lost contact, and most likely has already

How could he not be gloomy when everything was in danger?

However, although Rab has feelings for Alice that ordinary people cannot express, as a puppet master, although he loves the puppets very much, once he arrives in the mirage world and encounters such a situation, he abandons the puppets to save his teammates. They are the ones who

meaning of existence.

Many people may say, in this case, wouldn’t it be enough if we don’t have feelings for the doll?

It's a pity that puppet masters also want to do this, but they have no choice but to do so. After becoming puppet masters, they will instinctively have a sympathetic emotion towards their puppets, and they will even more understand the puppets they made.

Produce a feeling of blood connection.

This kind of love and care is not something they want to do without.

When you become a puppet master, you will inevitably have such a bond with their puppets.

It is precisely the emotional bond that the puppeteer has with the puppet that allows the puppeteer's puppet to transform from a dead object into a living thing, obeying the puppeteer's control and command.

Only when the puppet master's emotions for the puppet reach the extreme and a "puppet core" is generated in the body, will their puppet have a soul!

Fortunately, for puppet masters, the actual bond of the puppet comes from emotion, and the "soul" of the puppet is always with them.

The body of the doll is just a shell.

As long as the puppet core remains in the puppeteer's body, the puppet will always exist.

After Alice lost contact, Alice had actually returned to Rab's body.

As long as Rab changes another body for Alice, Alice will appear again.

Moreover, during this period, after the puppet master loses the puppet, it does not mean that the puppet master completely loses his ability.

In an emergency, Rab can choose to use his body as Alice's body, temporarily handing over his body to Alice, who is not afraid of pain or fear, and can completely obey his commands.

In this way, as long as his mind is still there, his body can perform various extreme operations under Alice's control.

This skill is called "Puppet Dance"

It is a life-saving skill.

Because the puppets are not afraid of pain and tireless, when using the puppet dance, there are many accidents in which the puppeteer is paralyzed due to excessive movements.

If it weren't for the fact that the medical methods in Mandela Continent also have extraordinary characteristics, the profession of puppet master would have become extinct long ago.

At that time, after Tan Wanjun and Wei Yaya learned about the characteristics of the puppet master, they looked at each other with strange expressions.

Different worlds must have different worldviews.

In Mandela Land, the characteristics of the puppet master represent the specialness of the profession.

But if you put this on Blue Star, isn’t this inappropriate fetishism + split personality?

This puppet core sounds like it split into a personality, and then let this personality possess the puppet body.

As for the dance of the puppet, isn't it just letting another personality control your body?

Co-author: People with schizophrenia in the real world are high-quality students for puppeteers~

Especially when they found out that Rab's doll was Alice and was female, the two of them looked at Rab with eyes full of emotion.

Look, just say it~

There is always a girl's heart in every boy's body~

Back to business.

Since everyone is fine, this plan is obviously a complete success.

So, the six of them headed in a certain direction together.

When they were heading to the meeting point, the plague bird Sophie, who had notified all the escapees, let out a long cry and then kept wandering in a certain area.

While it was wandering, it kept chirping in the air.

Ackerman knew that this was Sophie's breaking point.

This means that Black Jack is in that area.

In this way, all the escapees can avoid Black Jack and successfully merge.

This is the terrifying power of the blind man's full field of vision in this sequence!

They lost their eyes, but gained this unparalleled ability to perceive the whole picture.

In the mirage world, the blind sequence is the T0 level auxiliary servant.

With this full-map view, the probability of survivors successfully activating the Saint's Monument will be greatly increased.

Of course, that doesn't mean you are invincible.

For Nightmare Servants in the Mirage Realm, as long as they are level 2 or above, flashing and teleportation are skills they must awaken.

With such skills, they can appear next to the survivors instantly before they have time to escape.

And, just as a doctor cannot heal himself.

The blind man's skills are of course magical skills to others.

But if the blind man himself is discovered by the Nightmare Servant, it will be almost impossible for the blind man to escape without the help of survivors.

Losing vision not only means losing light, but also losing direction.

Although the sound wave perception is strong, when the sound wave perception has not been improved to the extreme, it will never be as useful as a pair of eyes when escaping.

In the mirage world, it is almost impossible not to meet the Nightmare Servants unless you hide away all the time.

After the saint's stele is activated later, although the nightmare servants will lose the protection of the mirage and cannot maintain their invincible posture, the survivors will also lose the meaning of hiding.

The doors are open, what else is hidden? Are you staying in the mirage world to celebrate the New Year?

Therefore, once the gate is opened, the probability of encounters between escapees and nightmare servants will increase significantly.

In this case, as soon as a blind person appears and uses their sound wave perception ability, the nightmare followers can immediately target the blind person. In this way, the nightmare followers who are fooled by the plague bird will often define the blind person as the highest level.

hunting target.

Let you explode! Give you a full view of the map! Give you the ability, right?

This is the reason why the mortality rate of blind people is high.

Their Plague Bird's taunt level is too high for the Nightmare Servants.

Just like now, Ackerman doesn't know about other nightmare servants, but Black Jack must hate this plague bird in the sky.

That means he can't fly, otherwise Sophie would be in his belly now~

Under Sophie's guidance, the escapees from the abandoned factory space gathered together again.

In a security room, all the surviving escapees gathered here.

These are all the escapees in this entire space.

There are a total of thirteen escapees here.

In addition to six Ackermans, one Eric, Tan Wanjun and Wei Yaya, there are four other people.

These four people were also divided into two groups. Together with Tan Wanjun, there were three groups of escapees in total. They were responsible for eliminating space nodes.

In fact, there should have been twenty escapees here.

There were seven other people who died when Eric and the others met for the first time.

Three of them were summoned from behind by Black Jack, who summoned a chair that looked like an electric torture. The survivors were tied to the chair, entangled with thorns and wires, and were finally successfully sacrificed as sacrifices.

There were two others who were unlucky. They were used by Black Jack as a tool to scare the monkeys and increase the fear of the survivors. After being chopped down alive by him, they were left to die amidst the sound of wailing.

Eric did not choose to rescue, but at that time, they had not formed a cooperation and were not familiar with each other. In addition, there were too many people. With more people and mixed ideas, the originally good plan turned into a

Shit.

Therefore, after two more escapees came behind them, they were able to escape successfully.

However, in fact, this confrontation was like a screening.

The survivors who can successfully escape are those who have two brushes. This is also the reason why Eric's plan succeeds later.

Now, the thirteen surviving escapees have gathered together again, preparing to execute the final plan - activating the stone tablet.
