Chapter 437 Dolls and Strange Objects

"Is she alive? Or, just a puppet?"

Li Zhongren came to Luna, pretended to make a wish, and then asked casually.

"I do not know."

Hearing this, Plague Baron was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"Anyway, whoever wears this ring can control her. She will execute any order you give her without hesitation."

"There really is a problem."

There was no expression on Li Zhongren's face, but deep down in his heart he made a firm guess.

Putting aside other things, if it were me, I would never show off this ring in a high-profile manner. Isn't this just telling others to come and grab it?

In particular, the Plague Baron is just an alchemist, and his frontal combat ability is not as good as Francis. The alchemical decomposition formation, if you want to decompose a Dou Qi master of Francis' level, you need a strong enough barrier to cooperate, otherwise, the other party can run away in an instant.

So, what gave this guy the courage to come to me alone and dress himself up like a naked girl to seduce me?

Or to put it another way.

What was the point of him tempting himself to take action?

"etc."

In a flash, Li Zhongren suddenly thought of something.

He had met the Plague Baron before. The way he spoke and his behavioral reactions were almost identical to the one in front of him. However, there were some subtle differences. For example, just now, when he faced his own question, he was stunned for a moment.

This reaction will not occur in Plague Baron.

This reaction seemed more like the other party did not expect me to ask this.

"More like"

"It's more like the puppet's own reaction to being asked such a question."

"Could it be."

Li Zhongren thought of a possibility.

This ring is not used to control the puppet. On the contrary, the person who wears it will be controlled by the puppet.

"Pfft~~"

Without warning.

Li Zhongren pulled out the sword from his crutch and waved his hand. With the help of his fighting spirit, the Plague Baron's head fell off.

This is one of the abilities of the Shadow Faceless entry. Once it is copied, not only the memory but also the ability will be copied.

The only drawback is that when you copy the next person, the ability of this person will be lost.

"Knew it."

Looking at the Plague Baron whose head was chopped off without any ability to resist.

Li Zhongren nodded secretly.

Although the real Plague Baron is not good at close combat, he will definitely not die so easily.

Come to think of it, he was indeed being controlled.

Well, let me see.

Li Zhongren ignored the puppet that seemed to be fixed there, but pretended to take the ring, but in fact, he touched the corpse of the Plague Baron, and then the other party's memory was synchronized into his mind.

Things turned out to be just as he had guessed.

The Plague Baron is actually the little emperor's man.

Today, the emperor of the Guangyao Empire is a seventeen-year-old boy.

Count Adolf was one of the regents.

This is the reason why the other party can quickly expand its rights.

However, now that the little emperor has grown up, he wants to take back his power.

However, once power is in one’s hands, how many people would be willing to give it up?

Humans are born with a strong desire for control.

Thus, Plague Baron was born.

His position is equivalent to the private soldier in the hands of the little emperor.

It seems that various terrorist attacks or other things are actually the process of strengthening this private army.

After all, this world is a world with an extraordinary power system.

So, apart from the normal transfer of power like in the ordinary world.

If you have a powerful and extraordinary trump card, you can also change the dynasty.

The Guangyao Empire has such a trump card, but this trump card can no longer be used.

Yes, people outside didn’t know about this, but Adolf knew that the 13th emperor, a foolish monarch, accidentally broke that trump card.

To this day, it has not been repaired.

The purpose of that trump card is to allow every generation of royal heirs to master legendary power.

Nowadays, this thing can only protect the emperor's safety in the palace, nothing more.

So, this has achieved a strange balance.

Adolf wanted to usurp the throne, but unfortunately he was unable to harm the emperor.

And what about the little emperor? His decrees could hardly leave the palace without Adolf's consent, and Adolf also needed the emperor as a legitimate card.

Of course, the little emperor also knew that he was secretly providing resources to the Plague Baron to allow him to grow. If not handled properly, the Plague Baron would also harm him, the man holding the knife. Fortunately, the royal family's strange object had another ability, which was similar to control or a contract.

Those who are contracted cannot resist the orders of the little emperor.

It's a pity that this ability has also been partially destroyed.

First, the number that can be controlled becomes five people.

Second, the conditions for successful control are also extremely harsh. Physical contact must last for more than an hour before the contract can be completely concluded.

Therefore, for all these years, the young emperor had only these few truly loyal subordinates. Then they formed this organization, wreaked havoc within the empire, plundered wealth, and strengthened themselves.

As for the kidnapping of Count Adolf's daughter.

It was a secret information they obtained by accident.

The young emperor showed great interest in this puppet. In his opinion, if the puppet's ability was real, he could use the puppet to repair the royal treasures. Once the treasures were repaired, getting rid of Adolf would be a piece of cake.

Then there is no more then.

The so-called magical objects and the so-called wishes are all fake.

This alchemical puppet is a trap set by Adolf. Its abilities are puppet control and signal isolation.

Yes, once anyone who has been contracted by the little emperor dies, the little emperor, as the controller of the magic item, will be able to detect it.

If the person wearing this ring is being controlled, the signal will be intercepted by the puppet after his death.

Moreover, through this intercepted signal, the puppet can continue to search for other controlled persons.

As for why he found himself first, it was because Adolf wanted to eliminate all the power of the little emperor. After all, he didn't know how many people the little emperor could control.
It turned out to be so.

After digesting the Plague Baron's memories, Li Zhongren picked up the ring.

In an instant, countless silk threads gushed out from the ring, entwining Li Zhongren's arms, as if trying to penetrate into his body.

Mystery, coming.
Li Zhongren turned mysterious again.

It was a dark silhouette, but if you looked closely, you could almost see the stars.

The silk thread produced by the ring seemed to lose its life immediately after it touched Li Zhongren's body. This was the crushing pressure brought by the high-level mystery. All the strange objects that were judged to be unable to be immune to the influence of the mystery would temporarily stop working.

For example, this ring, and also for example, the puppet Luna standing there. However, although the puppet has stopped working, the emotion of being alive in Luna's eyes is even more vigorous.
This is interesting.

As a mysterious being, Li Zhongren can feed on a person's random thoughts, so he can naturally sense Luna's thoughts.

That’s right, this puppet is actually a living person.

It is the product of Adolf's use of human alchemy.

Of course, she was not his own daughter, but just a poor orphan, or rather, one of countless poor orphans.

Only she succeeded.

Her ability is control and manipulation. The ring is just a trick created by Adolf. In fact, the puppet Luna can move by herself. Her body can generate almost infinite control threads. These threads can control a person just like controlling a puppet.
Of course, Adolf did have a backdoor to control this strange object, but at the moment, because she was in her own mysterious realm, this backdoor was blocked, and Luna had truly recovered herself.

“Please save me.”

"Crack!"

In the darkness, a huge hand glowing with galaxy starlight pierced directly into Luna's chest. It seemed that matter could not hinder the mysterious action.

Then, the big hand pulled hard.

A beating thing that looked like a heart was pulled out of the body by Li Zhongren.

However, the mechanical blood vessels on the heart were not disconnected from Luna. Because of Li Zhongren's power, these special metal blood vessels also gained the ability to penetrate matter.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

This heart, which was glowing with azure light, was beating continuously, but on it, there was a worm attached. The metal-structured worm was clinging to the heart like a parasite, and if you looked closely, you would find that the worm was actually one with the heart.

Obviously, this is a way for the Adolf family to control this puppet.

"Pfft!"

Unfortunately, he met Li Zhongren.

The worm was pulled down directly by Li Zhongren.

A hole suddenly appeared on the heart, but the miraculous thing was that the high-concentration magic liquid in the heart did not flow out through the hole, but was sealed by an invisible force. Then, the metal around the wound slowly moved and healed, and this exquisitely constructed artificial heart became intact.

This is the power of alchemy.

The power gained through the Faceless Men is temporary.

However, the power gained through the mysterious advent is permanent, but can only be used in a mysterious state.

Therefore, Li Zhongren could easily repair this hole.

"Snapped!"

Finally, Li Zhongren pinched the worm with his hands, and it turned into dust.
"Thank you."

The mystery dissipated, and Li Zhongren returned to his original form, his true form.

Looking at the person in front of her, the puppet Luna was slightly stunned, but not for long, because she had already guessed that this person must not be Francis.

"introduce yourself."

"My name is Luna, an alchemical doll transformed by human alchemy. My body is integrated with a strange object, the thought thread. Once this thread invades the human body, it can control the other party to a certain extent. The person who refined me, Count Adolf, hopes that I can help him produce the power of the Emperor of the Glorious Empire outside the palace."

"What are your plans for the future?"

"Follow your orders."

"Oh?"

"You are powerful and mysterious, but you will not save me for no reason. I will sacrifice my life for anyone, but if I sacrifice my life for you, I may have a chance for revenge."

"clever."

Li Zhongren smiled and nodded.

However, now is not the time for revenge. Although his mysterious arrival is powerful, it is not so powerful that it is unsolvable. It is nonsense to collide with a powerful empire. After all, his current mystery level is only about 45 points.

Previously, the reason why he didn't leave was because he would have an excuse if he pretended to be the Plague Baron's partner, but now that the Plague Baron is dead, his identity will not be exposed.

"I will leave the Glory Empire. Do you want to follow me?"

"Walk."

Puppet Luna nodded without hesitation. She hated Count Adolf immensely, but at the same time, she also knew how powerful Count Adolf was. All her methods were meaningless in front of him. When she got close to him, she would most likely lose herself.——
The steam train roars.

Li Zhongren traveled lightly, carrying a suitcase, and embarked on a journey to leave Mithril Raven Port.

His destination was to leave the Glorious Empire. He had no interest in the fight between Adolf and the little emperor, nor did he want to replace the Plague Baron. After all, from the Plague Baron's memory, he knew the little emperor's magical object, and even if it was damaged, he could not deal with it.

So, it’s good to leave here, stay away from right and wrong, and then make yourself stronger.

The night is deep.

The train was still roaring.

But this regular sound actually allows many people to sleep soundly.

"Squeak~~"

The box opened slowly.

Luna, who was loaded inside, walked out carefully.

Because she received orders from Li Zhongren.

"What are your orders?"

"I forgot to ask you, do you want to eat or something?"

"Of course not. I just need to replenish the magic solution regularly and replace the parts in my body. Of course, you can also use the Muji Alchemy to repair it for me directly."

"Describe in detail the upper limit and characteristics of your abilities."

"Okay, master."

Luna was willing to be called master.

She just looks small, but she has already matured.

Working for anyone doesn’t count as working for them.

The man in front of me at least doesn't seem to abuse himself, and doesn't have any strange habits. That damn Plague Baron is simply a pervert, otherwise, I wouldn't have killed him so early.
"My ability comes from the thread of thought."

"A strange object found in ancient ruins."

"It is initially suspected that this thread is the hair of an ancient transcendent being."

“It was deconstructed and recast by Count Adolf and turned into my ability.”

"I can grow these threads in my body almost infinitely, touching and controlling anyone invaded by them, controlling them like a puppet."

"But the disadvantage is that this thread cannot be exposed to light. When day falls, it will become ineffective. If the opponent is strong enough, they can resist this invasion. It is not a rare item of the rule system."

"learn."

Li Zhongren acquired a lot of knowledge from the Plague Baron and is no longer a newbie.

The strange thing of the rule system means that everyone must abide by these rules.

It is a rare object at the pinnacle of this world.

As a tool, even if Adolf had it, he would not give it to her.

"Any family members?"

"No, I was sold to an orphanage when I was born, and then sold to Count Adolf."

"The orphanage still sells children?"

“This is their livelihood.”
