Sequence game, starting from drawing props

Chapter 185 No mention
Hongye Town stronghold, Yongye anomaly investigation team.

Brandon saw Ian coming out, rubbing his wrists as he walked.

There is only one sentence in Ian's mind:

'Maintenance is really troublesome. '

Fortunately, he was able to earn some experience points by practicing the magic silk thread, which was considered to be a gain of the whole point by doing everything possible.

"President, I need to ask Miss Alice...have you seen her?"

Brandon inspected a kilometer near Hongye Town, lifted every leaf to have a look, and leaned into the tree hole to check for traces of magic.

Really found some problems for him.

Ian looked strange: "I haven't seen it, you can tell me the problem first, and then do other work."

Alice?She was already dizzy, most likely she was exhausted and couldn't stand up.

Then Brandon told Ian some of his findings.

An unusual discovery about Hongye Town.

Hongye Town is not normal. Disappearances often occur here, and the missing people have never been found.

Death does not exist in this world, and the practice in Changmian Town is to cremate and destroy the corpse.

But in Hongye Town, there is no way to deal with it, and there is not even a rotting corpse nearby.

Obviously an anomaly.

"Squeak-"

While the two were talking, there was a disturbing strange cry from outside the window.

Ian was immediately vigilant, gripped the mandala bow tightly, and went out to observe the dark sky outside.

The Eternal Night environment affects others, but it has no effect on Ian. He relies on eagle vision to observe crises and hostility.

The seagull had a full meal and landed on Ian's shoulder, alert to the changes nearby.

"President, do you need me to mobilize manpower?"

Brandon suspected that there were monsters gathering.

Ian refused: "Don't startle the snake, I will first search the situation in Hongye Town nearby."

He has the sequence ability "Unknowable", and his stealth skills are full.

Stealth + information concealment, two double super buffs superimposed, if there are monsters that can find him first, Ian thinks it must be at least a gold sequence above level 35.

However, no matter how mysterious Hongye Town is, there is no way to give birth to monsters of this level, and the upper limit of strength is tightly stuck.

'Walking without a shadow'

Ian's sense of existence instantly decreased, and he first searched for the place where the sound came out, and his figure entered the darkness.

As soon as he left, a thin mist rose nearby, which represented the opening of the double moon anomaly.

But this time it was fleeting, merely sending Ian into the wrong zone of junk.

[Enter "Wrong Area"]

The sequence system prompts Ian.

He glanced at it, and didn't care, there were many monsters nearby, and Ian wiped them out one by one.

He can kill one is one, and if he is finished, he can directly order this piece of garbage to self-destruct.

Whoosh!
The sharp arrow flashed under the moonlight, piercing the wolf's head, and killed it quietly.

Ian slid over in Shadowless Speed, touched the wolf, and used extraction to break it down.

A handful of moon soil appeared in his hand, and Ian frowned slightly.

The lunar soil was extracted again...

The monsters in the wrong area must have been transformed into alien monsters through some means.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why there is "moon soil" that only moon monsters have in their trophies list.

Ian killed a level 20~30 silver sequence monster and cleared a path in the wrong area.

The error area is not big, after the investigation of the crows, it is only near Hongye Town.

Keep going.

A figure appeared in the moonlight, holding a sword to fight the monster.

He was clad in black armor like a shadow, and his opponent was a huge hunk of flesh.

The pile of rotten flesh, six meters high and three meters in diameter, squirmed to avoid the armor man's sword swing, and then swung his tentacles to attack.

clap clap clap! !

The air was shattered by an attack similar to a stitch monster, and the armored man was invincible, and was blown away by a blow, falling in front of Ian.

He forced himself to stand up, and suddenly found Ian behind him, and turned his head to meet Ian's gaze.

"..."

Neither of them spoke first, and Ian looked at each other's attire.

He was dressed in black armor and held a big sword, which he had never seen before.

"Adventurer? Hunter? Get out of here, the strange monster is dangerous."

The man in armor said coldly, and fought against the stitch monster again.

However, this time, the Stitch Monster's whole body glowed, and a tentacle waved on the armor man's abdomen, knocking him into the air again, and landed in front of Ian.

He stood up again, not feeling hurt at all.

Good guy...so anti-wrinkle.

Ian was a little speechless. At this moment, he also released the hunting mark again and again to analyze the attributes of the stitch monster.

【Name: Meat Pile】

[Source: Birth of the Moon]

【Level: 35】

[Sequence: Gold]

[Health Points: 4213/5500, Mana Points: 1900/2000]

[Possessed skills: flesh and blood fusion, rampage, devouring, assimilation...]

[Description: An abnormal fusion monster that simply pours malice on living creatures and belongs to the category of moon monsters. 】

Behemoth, the incarnation of the scourge of the dead, possesses the ability to fuse monsters from the dead.

The thing in front of him is the monsters that have been transformed into races after countless monsters have been fused.

weird...

There are no monsters near Hongye Town, but the wrong area is full of monsters. This place is a bit like the garbage dump in Hongye Town.

The gold sequence at level 35 is difficult to play, and Ian summoned the phantom star drone.

He reached out to the armored man.

"Can you stand up?"

The other party stared blankly at the phantom star drone.

After a while, the armored man sighed, "It's an outsider... No wonder I haven't seen you."

Under Ian's surprised gaze, he slowly became transparent.

"Next time we meet, let's talk a little more, you should be able to handle this by yourself, right?"

He asked, pointing at the pile of meat monster: "If you can't beat it, just run away, and leave when the time is up."

The armored man turned into a faint light and disappeared completely.

This is a bit like the magic of Phantom Clone, the scene that appears when the clone dies.

The monster started to get angry, Ian didn't have time to think about the man in armor, his eyes locked on the pile of meat.

But at this glance, his pupils constricted.

A pile of flesh sewn from countless corpses, on its chest, a black steel helmet is clearly visible.

"Whoa!!"

The pile of flesh let out a terrifying roar, and waved its tentacles towards Ian. Ian didn't want to touch the vicious tentacles of flesh and blood, maybe how many viruses were on them.

He dodged, and the seagull flew high into the sky after Ian summoned it, shooting some black death feathers, causing a huge explosion.

The phantom star drone also kept firing, and the scorching energy beam penetrated the pile of meat, roasting the flesh into coke.

The body on one side of the pile of meat was cut by the phantom star beam, and fell obliquely on the ground, but its health did not drop much.

It returned blood so fast that green +500, +500 appeared in Ian's eyes.

This kind of blood recovery speed cannot be killed by normal attacks.

Ian rolled to avoid the attack of the meat pile. The level of the meat pile was 9 levels higher than him, and he also had a special ability to return blood.

He watched the pile of meat carefully, and found various relics of the dead from it, whether it was iron swords or armor, they had all been integrated into the pile of meat.

'Hunting marks'

【Name: Meat Pile】

[HP: 3280/5500]

Simply outrageous.

The life value does not return to zero, and the vital parts cannot be found, how to fight.

Ian took out the World Crown from his backpack, put it on his head, and snapped his fingers at the pile of meat.

A shadow of destruction flew out from between his fingers, and the flesh and blood exploded in the pile of flesh, which hollowed out the abdomen of the pile of flesh.

Inside those disgusting flesh and blood, a red spar glistened.

Ian first switched bows and arrows and shot three alloy arrows, cutting off the connection between the spar and the meat pile.

The sharp arrows easily separated the flesh and blood, and the movement of the pile of flesh suddenly slowed down.

It wants to bend down and protect the spar in its body, and it looks like there is no silver 300 taels here, it must be a weakness.

Ian took out his wand and flicked:
"The spar is flying!"

The red spar, which was protected by Roudui, immediately escaped from Roudui's control and flew into Ian's hands.

Accompanied by this movement, Roudui raised his upper body stiffly, and stared at Ian's face with the eyeballs in the meat holes.

It petrified gradually, and shattered into debris in a few seconds.

Ian just felt stingy:
"Are you not even allowed to extract?"

It takes a lot of hard work to kill a monster, but the monster also has its own death animation, right?The problem is that if you want to get loot in the sequence game, you have to use extraction!
He clicked his tongue and looked at the red crystals he had snatched.

[Name: Dirty Spirit Gem]

[Description: The original spiritual power in the gem has been polluted, and absorbing its power will cause the soul to blacken. 】

This thing is actually a spiritual gem?

Ian opened the backpack suspiciously, and found the maintenance bag inside. In the maintenance bag, there were neatly placed golden needles and threads, a spiritual gem used to protect Alice.

Normal spirit gems are gold, while fouled spirit gems are red.

There is another question... why does the pile of meat need spiritual gems to exist, and if it is lost, it will immediately become a stone statue, could it be...

Ian has a little brain hole, saying that this is not a kind of enemy and we are of the same origin, the puppetry is actually evil monster knowledge, after learning it will make people black taboo or something...

He inspected the broken stone statue, held a piece of white gravel with his hands, and looked at it carefully. It seemed that the material was a bit like marble...

However, after Alice's body loses its magic power, it will also show a similar color.

Oops pinch.

Now I have to suspect that what kind of monsters are doing in Hongye Town to make it.

Ian, with mixed emotions, inspected the place where there were all kinds of garbage and rotten meat, but now they all turned into marble corpses.

How should I put it, the broken pieces of meat are indeed made of marble.

This kind of stone has many uses. Only Ian knows about paving bricks to build houses, and carving a row of statues.

Maybe it can also be used in puppetry?

After killing the pile of meat, the nearby white mist slowly dissipated, and the speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, Ian came to reality.

He straightened up and looked nearby.

Some investigators from Evermian Town happened to be investigating here, and Ian's sudden appearance shocked them.

"President." Arya spoke first, "Have you found a way to trigger the double moon anomaly?"

"No, it was just accidentally pulled in."

Ian shook his head. He was about to leave, but when he turned his head, he saw something familiar.

It was a black helmet, but it became rusty at the moment, and was dug out from the ground by the exploration team.

Next to the helmet are some marble fragments.

"It's so strange... There are a lot of this kind of marble near Hongye Town, and there are also warrior's armor."

Arya complained to Ian: "Maybe there was a war here?"

Ian was already shocked by what he found.

"The owner of the black helmet, I saw him once in the wrong area, and he is still alive."

"However, for some reason, he turned into light and disappeared."

Ian said.

The investigators froze in place, and the mage tried to guess: "Avatar?"

The mages inspected the black helmets and talked to each other.

"Avatar does not have any lethality, it just studies magic."

"That is the avatar with the ability to attack."

"Why can't the other party run away? For example, he was seriously injured and slipped away with a special ability, leaving behind the helmet."

Ian watched the mages communicate.

He knew in his heart that the man in black armor hadn't taken off his helmet.

The scratches and lines left by the monster's attack on the helmet, the armor fused with the armor man and the pile of flesh, are exactly the same.

What exactly is the situation?
Full of doubts, Ian found Alice, who was still in a mood of embarrassment.

After seeing Ian, Alice gritted her silver teeth, wishing to give him a bite.

She deliberately turned off the light before Ian came, put on her clothes in the moonlight, and looked back at Ian:
"The gatekeeper...what's your job?"

Being angry belongs to yes.

"I have to go to Ms. Du Jia, can you show me the way? You don't have to walk."

Ian summoned the wolf king.

In any case, it's a good idea to take Alice, the most human-like doll, to question Ms. Du Jia.

He really suspected that Ms. Du Jia had bad intentions. If she didn't understand the source of the artificial soul, Ms. Du Jia would never be able to get rid of the suspicion.

"Ow~"

The Wolf King appeared and acted obediently as a mount. Ms. Du Jia is currently located near Changmian Town, and it is easy to find her.

"Ok?"

Ms. Du Jia saw Ian and Alice.

I came to find myself.

Realizing this, she first put down the work in her hands, took out a cloth, and wiped off the blood on her hands.

In the workshop inside the house, there is a magic wolf, which is tied to a dissecting table and cut down from the cervical vertebrae of the head, separating the bones from the flesh.

Ms. Du Jia opened the door and asked Ian with a smile:
"Gatekeeper, what's the matter? Is it because Alice is not obedient, or she doesn't know how to use the maintenance package."

"Maintenance of dolls is really difficult. It's normal if you don't understand it. If you want me to maintain Alice, I can temporarily put down my work to help you."

Ian got straight to the point: "I want to know if there is any connection between puppetry and undead monsters?"

Alice was also beside her. She never thought that Ian was asking this kind of question, and she was stunned for a moment.

She looked at her mother, waiting for her response.

"Puppetry and... undead monsters?"

Ms. Du Jia covered her mouth and looked surprised: "Gatekeeper, are you doubting the origin of puppetry?"

"It's a real lore! It's not an evil scourge, I can assure you of that."

Ian took out the marble from the pile of dead flesh and handed it to Ms. Du Jia.

The beautiful marble fragments can vaguely see the appearance of flesh and blood.

But there won't be that normal craftsman carving a statue of flesh and blood out of marble, right?This is not a Cthulhu ritual.

"The fragments of the death puppet..."

Ms. Dujia recognized what Ian had given her.

Watching the shards take on the hideous shape of a twisted chunk of flesh that happened to have an eye growing on it.

The eyeball has been petrified, and its ferocity and ferocity in the state of flesh and blood can be vaguely seen by the three people present.

"I believe that Ms. Du Jia has also seen it. The material of the doll is marble, which is broken into pieces after death."

"This marble shard in the shape of distorted flesh and blood also came from a puppet called "Meat Pile", or a puppet or golem."

"Anyway, they are similar. I want to know about Hongye Town's previous work. Perhaps besides making the perfect Alice doll, you have also made... other "dangerous" things?"

After Ian finished speaking, he stared quietly at the lady Du Jia.

Alice next to him was already stunned, and a fear emerged in her heart involuntarily.

Hongye Town has always relied on the grizzly bear created by Alice to fight against those monsters.

But when Ian came today, he actually suspected that she, the grizzly bear, and those undead monsters were actually the same?
What's even more frightening is that Du Jia, who knew everything, didn't choose to answer at this juncture, but instead frowned and looked at Ian.

"I can guarantee that Hongye Town has never studied puppets like meat piles."

"However... I don't know much about what the puppet masters did before, so I can't be sure..."

"If the gatekeeper suspects me, maybe let the wizards check the books on puppetry to judge whether I am guilty or not."

"But puppetry is a secret tradition of Alice's family... I hope you will remember it."

Her tone was faint, and she looked a little angry.

Ian himself has read the doll books, and there is Alice next to him, and the other party's race is "doll", and there is nothing wrong with it.

Whether it was Alice or Grizzly, they were far from the pile of meat he saw.

"In that case, I have one more question."

Ian asked again: "The question in the field of artificial souls, the soul is needed to make dolls, Alice doesn't understand these."

"I think, as Ms. Du Jia who studies puppet art, she should be able to answer this question."

"Where do the souls of dolls come from?"

A group of mages gathered outside the workshop.

They have arrived long ago and will protect Ian as soon as any conflict occurs.

With the protection of this group of 40+ level, gold-sequence powerhouses, Ian dared to ask Du Jia himself, not afraid of the other party violently killing people.

"Is it because you have doubts about this? I can understand to some extent that some people are always easy to think wrong about any issue involving the soul."

Ms. Du Jia smiled kindly:

"I mainly use some special methods to obtain the souls that dolls need, and I can guarantee that the sources of these souls are legal."

"After all, the doll industry has been in business for a long time. If there is any problem with it, Alice's family will have been arrested and imprisoned."

Ian quietly listened to the other party's answer.

At a glance, it is identified as: the answer is not the question.

Ms. Du Jia didn't mention a single word about "how to obtain a soul".
