Sequence game, starting from drawing props

Chapter 187
The seagull kept blurring and flew around the secret room, and Ian observed with its eyes.

After familiarizing himself with the structure inside, he called the seagull back.

The two entered the secret room.

"Boom-"

The walls of the secret room are slowly closed and fit together with the outer wall, the exposed gaps are covered by the bookshelves, which is full of secrecy.

If any detective had come, he probably wouldn't have imagined that there would be a door hidden behind the huge bookcase.

Apart from the owner, no one else would know the secrets in Alice's mansion.

The painting style in the secret room is a bit like a prison. When Alice saw it, she was a little puzzled at first, and then immediately expressed surprise.

"This place doesn't match the picture in your memory?"

Ian asked. Through eagle vision, he noticed that there were ten times more traps hidden here than in the corridor outside.

It seems... the owner who installed the trap thinks this place is very precious and must be kept secret.

Alice nodded slowly with a complicated expression.

She walked to a place similar to the research bench on the left, and recalled the picture in her memory:

"I remember this should be a bed... here is a desk..."

"But the layout here now has a creepy feeling to me..."

Following Alice's introduction, Ian took another look at the layout of the room.

The Chamber of Secrets has been overhauled once, what does it do?
Puppetry is bound to be similar to alchemy and requires a complete workshop. Ms. Du Jia specially modified the environment here and transformed the original guest room into a secret room. Could it be...

"Is it the secret room where the experimental subjects are imprisoned?"

Ian guessed that Alice's cheeks turned pale upon hearing his words.

She knew that Ian was referring to the idea of ​​the previous patriarch, using puppetry on human beings, finding out the shortcomings of puppetry and improving it.

The previous head of the family was Ms. Du Jia's mother. Ms. Du Jia probably inherited this idea.

At least very likely.

Ian picked up the chains on the wall with a dagger, and those chains were covered with black dirt. After careful inspection, he found traces of dried blood.

This secret room is too bad in every sense, it has all kinds of small butters, and it also has none.

There are all kinds of bondage beds wrapped with belts, down to surgical knives, bandages, and cylinder-shaped cans.

Judging from the size and traces of use, it is probably similar to the specimen jars used in horror laboratories, adding formalin to it, and then throwing the internal organs into it.

Thinking of this, Ian just felt a little chilly. He glanced at the layout of the room, and he could imagine the whole process of a person being captured and then becoming a "talent".

"Gatekeeper, I'm a little scared, this place is very different from what I remember..."

Alice whispered tremblingly.

She took out the information from the cabinet. It was a password book with a yellow-brown mechanism lock on it.

To open it, one needs to have a key, but the layout of the secret room has undergone earth-shaking changes, how does she know where it is hidden?
"Any ideas?"

Ian asked. He searched around and found various mechanisms, but this is a mansion, and once the cracking fails, an alarm will be triggered to alert Ms. Du Jia.

To be on the safe side, he needed to restrain his thoughts and ask Alice for the correct solution.

Alice shook her head: "I don't understand...I don't understand the layout here."

Is that right?

Over the past few decades, changes have taken place in the mansion, and some places are different from what Alice remembered.

But... Since it was Ms. Du Jia who caused these changes, Alice, who has the memory of her before the age of 16, should be able to try it.

Ian approached under Alice's puzzled eyes:

"You can close your eyes and imagine if you need this secret room and do some experiments here, how you will design the mechanism and where you will hide the key."

Some of the keys in the mansion are placed in the mansion, and I hope the keys in the secret room are the same.

The two of them worked hard to enter the mansion, and they had broken through many obstacles. If the key to the secret room was in Ms. Du Jia's possession, it would be a real failure.

"Imagination?" Alice didn't quite understand Ian's words.

"Psychological profiling, bringing in the habit and position of the target, pretending to be Ms. Du Jia."

It is very easy for Alice to do this, but if Ian does it himself, or other psychologists, the difficulty of profiling will increase several times.

They didn't know Ms. Du Jia at all.

Although Alice didn't quite understand it, according to Ian's method, she substituted herself into Ms. Du Jia who designed the secret room.

Under Ian's expectant eyes, she walked to the low cabinet and looked at the empty space behind the low cabinet.

Empty.

"Failed……"

"Failure is normal, try again."

Ian also begins his own investigation.

He picked up the information placed on the bookcase, which recorded how to completely dismantle a living person.

The steps in it were recorded in great detail, which could be called dripping with blood. After reading it, Ian closed the book to prevent Alice from checking it.

"It's not a good thing, you're still young, don't look at it."

"I'm not young!"

Alice retorted unusually, puffed up her face and continued to work.

The gatekeeper is really hateful!

The secret room is not big, and Ian divided it into the prison area, slaughter area and experiment area.

There are a lot of materials in the experimental area, and the unlocked notebooks are generally stained with dried blood. The owner who wrote them seems not to care about the blood on his hands at all, but happily records them in the notebook after researching.

Ian took out the Dream Nail and tapped it a few times, and the content he obtained was roughly the same as that in the book.

He scanned the words in the notebook and found a good harvest.

This book records the production method of the spiritual gemstone. By collecting some materials, they are crushed and fired to fuse with the gemstone.

If it wasn't for the lack of time, Ian would definitely try to learn how to make spiritual gems first.

In addition to the production method of the spiritual gem, there is also a record, which is the efficient use method of the control thread.

All such files recorded in knowledge will be analyzed by the sequence system.

【Ding!Through persistence and hard work, you have unlocked the special skill of "Puppet Control Thread Blade". 】

【You can make a dual-control thread and harden it to form a blade that is almost the same as a blade. The blade line can control the body of the enemy, and it can also chop the enemy into pieces. 】

It seems that research on the human body can indeed speed up the progress of puppetry. Ms. Du Jia has gone one step further and developed the "blade line"?

The couple control wire is now taking into account the control, and it can also play a good output.

Ian tried to condense a blade line. The hard line was different from ordinary lines, showing a snow-white color.

For a moment of condensation, Ian felt that his perception was slowly stretched, as if his field of vision was expanded by the blade line in his hand.

The blade line can be made to have a long distance, or it can be made into a short dagger, the main difference is how much mana is consumed.

If Ian is willing, it is easy to create a blade line of nearly a thousand meters.

"Gatekeeper, here."

Alice successfully found an abnormal point through psychological profiling.

It was a stone statue placed in front of an empty wall, and it was the head of a certain generation of Patriarch.

"There is something hidden behind this, I saw it, but I can't push it."

Alice tried to push the stone statue, as she said, she tried her best, but the stone statue remained motionless.

This made her idea of ​​finding out the mechanism alone shattered.

She could only ask Ian for help.

Ian activated Eagle Vision and marked the stone statue, and it immediately glowed faintly in Ian's eyes.

This is not enough, Ian needs to see all of the stone statue, so that he can be sure that it has no traps.

The contact between the stone statue and the wall is very small, and people cannot see inside.

How to do?
Ian pondered for half a second, remembering the skill he had just unlocked.

He condensed the puppet control thread, hardened it into a "blade line", and manipulated it to bend slightly.

In this way, a steel wire with vision is ready!
He pinched the blade line and stabbed it into the back of the stone statue, the vision from the silk line suddenly became dark.

Ian has a bit of night vision ability. In the eyes of others, he can see half a shadow in his eyes.

He manipulated the blade line to continue to extend in, and a gray square pillar appeared in his vision.

This is…

Ian raised his head and looked at the stone statue. There was a trap in the stone statue itself, and that trap was very insidious, connecting the stone statue to the wall.

In other people's eyes, pushing the stone statue can unlock the lock, but in fact this is a misleading, and the stone statue is the real trap.

Alice is still trying to use her strength, but unfortunately her strength is not even comparable to that of normal people, only about [-] catties of strength.

Ian first stopped Alice from pushing the stone statue.

"Be careful, the statue is fake, but it's not all fake."

Stone statues can indeed pick locks, but in a different way.

Ian touched a keyhole behind the stone statue, which is like a safety valve. When the key is inserted in the stone statue, it can be easily pushed away without triggering the trap.

But once the key is no longer there, the stone statue will become stiff and connected to the mechanism, and relying on the original method, it will trigger the trap and lead to death.

Ian didn't want to try the power of the traps in the mansion at all.

He controlled the blade line and gently placed it on the part connecting the stone statue to the organ.

Clang——

After a sound like a sharp blade, the connecting part of the stone statue was cut off by the blade line. Under Alice's confused gaze, Ian turned the stone statue.

During this period, one after another machine blades were protruded from the stone wall. Alice was very close to the wall, but before she was injured by the blades, she was still held in Ian's arms.

"here we go."

The moment the stone statue turned left and a half, the vision in Ian's eyes immediately turned crimson.

Attack is coming.

His thinking was running at high speed at this moment, seeing through the hidden arrows from all directions, as well as poisonous needles and poisonous gas traps.

9% of the traps won't trigger, Ian has a way to deal with them, and the last 1% is the real danger.

boom!
The mechanism retracted into the wall without warning. Alice saw Ian inserting a sharp-edged silk thread into the keyhole behind the stone statue.

With the safety valve in place, 9% of the traps were closed, and the last 1% emerged from the body of the stone statue, the ceiling above Ian's head, and the gaps in the floor tiles under his feet.

At this moment, Ian switched the mandala bow and hung three moon soil arrows.

The moon soil arrow will cause a 10-second "Moon Territory" effect in the hit area, which is what Ian needs.

There is no sound in the territory of the moon.

Whoosh!
The arrows were fired, and the traps were also triggered. They were within the range of the Moon Territory, so naturally they couldn't make any sound.

Relying on his eagle vision, Ian tilted his head slightly, and the three arrows passed through his face without hurting him.

The rest of the trap attacks entered the Moon Territory, showing a 90-degree fall or rise in the extreme gravity environment, flashed by silently, and turned into garbage.

Alice stared blankly at this scene. With her ability, she couldn't even see how Ian did it.

It's just that as soon as the perspective is blurred, it's all over.

Ian let go of his hand, and several broken arrows fell out of his hand and fell to the ground.

He looked at the position behind the stone statue and was delighted in his heart.

There, there are several dolls placed in the display cabinet, not plush toys like Grizzly, but dolls like Alice.

But compared to Alice, they have no faces and no clothes.

The time is marked under the transparent display cabinet, and the interval between each of them varies from 3 to 5 years.

The master who made the dolls had several breakthroughs, but they couldn't make perfect dolls. These dolls used for display have more or less problems.

When Ian walked into the showroom, there was nothing unusual about him, but Alice became depressed.

When she saw these puppets, she naturally thought of herself, and she could even see some traces of her own.

"Are these... the perfect dolls Mother tried on?"

Alice asked in a low voice, and looked at the puppets.

They are very different from Alice. They are tall, short, fat, and thin, and even their skin colors are different. Each has its own randomness.

Ian sent a dream nail to a puppet, and when he saw the dream language on it, his eyes flickered:

"Maybe you're hurt by the scene, but these puppets are not an attempt at perfect puppets..."

He looked at the dream words that recorded "pain" and said:

"The material of these puppets is people."

In addition to marble, Ms. Du Jia also used people as materials for dolls, which is really a crazy idea.

Alice's hand was stroking the blank face of a doll, and when she heard Ian's words, her hand trembled in fright.

"people?"

"Yes, Ms. Du Jia didn't use too many materials such as marble, these are the real 'human' dolls."

The dream language of the puppet is the last words of the deceased before death, perhaps because the pain is too strong, Ian did not see other dream language.

Normal dolls are made of marble, like Alice, and when they lose their magic or spirit gems, they become stone statues.

And these dolls are made of flesh and blood, and their skin feels like a human being, after all, they are human beings themselves.

"In order to create female dolls, human females are naturally used..."

Ian rubbed his eyebrows: "Alice, have any women disappeared in Hongye Town?"

He originally suspected that Ms. Du Jia was the real culprit behind the scenes, and that she personally caused a part of the Eternal Night, but now that the living dolls were found, this guess became more solid.

Alice was so shocked that she didn't know what to say anymore. In her mind, the mother who was originally kind was actually a villain doing evil experiments behind her back?

"I...I need to think about..."

she whispered.

Hongye Town is located in the depths of the forest, and there is no other place for activities except for the business roads one after the other.

There have been some disappearances here, all of which have no follow-up, and were judged to be killed by monsters.

It is not a new thing to go to the wilderness and be killed by monsters.

Red Leaf Town is guarded by grizzly bears. Monsters cannot enter this town, and adventurers and hunters are even rarer.

"There have been many disappearances..."

Alice answered truthfully.

It has been nearly five years since she was created, and she has been in Hongye Town all these years, unable to be too far away from her mother.

She is very similar to a real human being, and her mother has given her high hopes and maintained her day in and day out.

Unable to go outside, Alice focused on the town, remembering most of the things that happened in the town.

In the past five years, there have been nearly a hundred disappearances here.

"call--"

A gust of wind blew from the corner, and Ian immediately became vigilant, slowing down and approaching the corner.

His sequence ability "Unknowable" can cover up his information, which is equivalent to a passive that removes traces.

This ability allows Ian to easily detect the enemy's situation, such as the strange noise outside now, it may be a doll, or something else.

Ian came to the wall and listened to the voices outside.

"patta-patta-"

It's the sound of footsteps, someone is approaching the secret room!
Ian's pupils shrunk due to nervousness, and he looked back to the secret room, where various traps were activated, and the arrow fragments shot scattered all over the ground.

Oops!

It is necessary to fix these things as soon as possible and hide them in a corner where they cannot be seen, otherwise the sneaking tonight will be a failure.

Ian covered the cloth that was originally covering the living doll, and took out the hourglass of time from the backpack grid.

The time jumps for 5 seconds, Alice blinks, the messy secret room in her eyes, all kinds of garbage are much less.

Arrow shards can be carried in the backpack, but Ian holds them in his hand since the backpack is almost full.

Then, at the moment when the wall of the secret room was slightly opened, Ian slipped into the deep secret room where the living doll was hidden.

The statue returned to its original position.

A female figure walked into the secret room, it was Ms. Du Jia herself.

After she entered the door, she glanced suspiciously at the environment in the secret room.

There's always something weird about it.

"Alice? Come out!"

A slightly harsh voice came out of her mouth.

But after waiting for a while and not hearing a response, the suspicion in Ms. Du Jia's eyes decreased slightly.

Blood was faintly visible on her hands, and five pigeons wearing gold-rimmed glasses took out towels and other props to help her clean the dirt off her body.

Du Jia stretched out his right hand, pinched the bloody magic wolf heart with his thumb and index finger, and threw it into the transparent cylindrical jar.

Blood flowed from the cut part of the internal organs. The Necromancer Demon Wolf had just been transformed, it hadn't decayed yet, and the blood was warm.

"Dujia! Dujia! The gatekeeper is starting to suspect you, this will definitely affect your plan!"

A pigeon jumped in front of Du Jia's eyes. It spoke very fluently, and its pitch fluctuated greatly, making its voice sound like a clown.

"He's just a little skeptical..."
