The puppets' stage play

She has almost transparent long white hair that hangs down to her waist. She is small, only about 1 meters tall. Her exposed skin exudes a strange aura, not resembling a living person. She is wearing a maid uniform, revealing her white and tender feet. Pieces of shoes.

The girl's eyelashes flashed, her eyes were a little playful, she held the corner of her skirt with her little hands and turned it in a circle. The elegant white skirt flew up, revealing a small part of her calf. She turned to face this side, her thin pink lips were raised, and she was raising her head. He looked up at Qi Xiu expectantly.

Qi Xiu didn't answer, but stretched out his hand to touch the woman's long hair. The woman's eyes curled up, and she beamed with joy. She was obviously intoxicated, and her cheeks were rosy.

"How does this 'clothes' perform?"

Qi Xiu didn't care about the woman's appearance, but asked her about her feelings. In his opinion, this was the most important thing.

"Master hates it!" The woman pouted, with some dissatisfaction in her eyes, and then she didn't find fault and answered the question solemnly.

Her expression changed, her expression became a little cold, and she put her hands in front of her eyes.

The small and delicate palms shine brightly in the sun, and the slender fingers shine like pearls.

In an instant, the five fingers stretched and deformed, and the fair skin gradually turned silver, making a crunching sound, and tentatively waved it in the air, making a whistling sound.

"Flexibility - good, about 50% of the body's ability can be used"

The sound was clear and crisp, like a clear spring in a mountain stream, light and cold, and he looked down.

The little feet trembled for a moment, and the body leaned slightly, but instantly collapsed into two tentacles, supporting the body.

"Sturdiness - not good, only 30%, will disintegrate if greater force is applied"

The face becomes transparent, and the long hair leaves the ground and floats out of thin air.

"Conductivity - poor quality, only 20% left..."

"The rest of the scalability and adaptability are relatively low and have no reference value..."

Before the words were finished, the woman's body shrank into a ball, and her clothes fell down. Xiao Xishou ducked, jumped onto Qi Xiu's shoulder, and stretched out a tentacle, holding a small silver ball on it.

"To sum up, I can use 30% of my current strength, because I don't focus on strength." The newly grown mouth told Qi Xiu.

Qi Xiu touched his chin, his eyes thoughtful.

"That means you can exert your full power at the second level, but not at the third level!"

"Yes......"

Xi Shou's words were a bit depressed. It was rare that her master allowed her to travel with him, but she couldn't find suitable 'clothes'.

"...Forget it, this is just a toy now. I will find better 'clothes' for you later."

"At least using this can block some of your strange feelings in front of others." Qi Xiu was slightly relieved, even though Xi Shou and other servants were not weird around him.

But after all, they are a different race from humans. The higher the class, the stronger the sense of alienation. Ordinary humans can tell at a glance, especially beings like Xi Shou who usually feed on people's emotions and will.

If other servants can hide something without being discovered, Xi Code has no chance. Ordinary people standing next to her will only feel terrified, unable to think, and become prey.

Qi Xiu looked at the silver ball.

This thing was something he got from Ling Sheng before.

Pan-type 3 daily-use simulated liquid body.

It is usually a sphere. It can give orders and achieve some conveniences through simple intelligence. However, the intelligence is limited and can only be used in daily life. Therefore, the material is not top-notch.

"I actually hope that you can communicate more with others. This will also help you advance in the future. I already have plans for Moxibustion Blade and Box Shadow, so I will send them out."

"I hope you can show up on weekdays now. There is no need to fight yet, and this material is enough for the time being."

Qi Xiu spoke in a gentle tone, while Xi Shou listened quietly and shook his body to show his understanding.

She quickly ran down her shoulders, her eyes a little disgusted, the sphere swayed, expanded, her tentacles extended, twisted and deformed, and her body gradually grew taller.

After a while, she returned to her previous appearance as a white-haired maid.

"Then from now on, in front of outsiders, I will call you Mamoru," Qi Xiu declared to the other party.

A Shou ran over with a smile on his face, his little feet pattering, hugged Qi Xiu, and kept rubbing him.

Then he raised his face and smiled very happily.

Qi Xiu didn't care, looked away and began to think.

He spent a day helping Xi Shou advance, and then made some back-up preparations to reshape someone. It was time to prepare for the assessment tomorrow.

Qi Xiu sneered in his heart. The school was not so kind as to give them a week's rest.

I'm afraid this period of time is used to understand the specific content of the assessment, intelligence detection, advance preparation, and response methods. Now, anyone with a discerning eye knows what the next step of the assessment should be.

That was the riot of intelligent creatures in the shanty town, he asserted immediately.

And his back-up plan has already been laid, and he will use this to ensure his successful passing in this assessment.

The day comes to an end as the brain keeps thinking.

The next day, August 9th.

In the room, Qi Xiu sat aside and Yao Chong stood bowed to report the news.

What surprised him was that there was a little white-haired maid next to him.

She doesn't change her attitude towards him and pays no attention to him, but she is very special and makes people unable to take their eyes away.

The pretty face, overall blue, the maid uniform with white accents on the collar and hem, the solemn expression, and the aloof temperament made him feel a little worried, but more importantly, he was a little scared.

He thought it was his own psychological influence, but it was actually Xi Shou's biological suppression instinct. In his heart, he was afraid that other forces were sponsoring Qi Xiu. He looked at Qi Xiu eagerly, not daring to question it more.

"No need to worry, she is the humanoid I bought." Qi Xiu looked calm. He could understand the other party's worries at a glance, and he would work harder in the future, so he dismissed the other party's worries.

Yao Chong then calmed down, took a breath, and respectfully confessed to Qi Xiu.

"It's okay, tell me the news you got."

"Brother Du, that involves shantytowns..."

Yao Chong looked at Qi Xiu carefully, hesitating in his words.

Qi Xiu naturally understood the other party's concern. After all, it seemed to Yao Chong that his original body was also from there, and he might have some friends. However, it was obviously unnecessary and unnecessary.

He then looked at Yao Chong warningly, his eyes stern.

Yao Chong was startled, gritted his teeth and talked about the information.

"Brother...Brother, the shanty town has been tightly sealed off by the troops sent by Mayor Yan. I sent people to find out the inside story and learned some things through official connections."

"Now there are some animals there that can be said to have become spirits. They speak human words, have extraordinary wisdom, have their own system, and rule the shantytowns."

"Several illegal workshops close to the shantytowns have also closed their doors and stayed away. However, there has been no greater civil unrest. On the contrary, the people in the shantytowns are living a better life."

Yao Chong's words became more and more fluent. Seeing that there was no anger on Qi Xiu's face, his voice became a little louder.

"According to intelligence, there are currently three forces there."

"A black-haired dog-man who is physically strong, can smash walls with his fists, and leap freely in mid-air. He calls himself the Black King."

"It can spray black air from its mouth, destroy everything, and lead many dog ​​demons under its command to occupy the area near the black work area."

"Wrapped in gray robes, only one face is exposed in the shadows, and the eyes are sunken like abyss. He is called Elvis King"

"Having experienced hundreds of battles, with gorgeous movements and deadly moves, he single-handedly defeated a group of hundreds of people and led the cat demon to occupy the area of ​​the original East District."

"Holding two black scimitars, with a cold temperament, bright red eyes that are particularly scary, a long and narrow figure, arms above the knees, he is called the Rat King"

"The traces are usually difficult to detect, and the actions are secretive. They hover in the West District all day long. None of the eight special elites who tried to enter returned, leading the rat demon to occupy a place."

"Of course, these are not the only types of monsters, but these three are the mainstream and are valued by the three."

"Now, it is said that the three leaders are planning to hold a meeting recently, and I am afraid they are thinking of some sinister plan..."

There was deep disgust in Yao Chong's eyes, but also a hint of worry. The disgust was that the other party dared to challenge human authority, and the worry was the uneasiness about the future situation of mankind.

Qi Xiu glanced at him lightly, and he sensed the other person's emotions. He thought to himself, human beings are not that fragile.

He looked into the distance. Those two guys did a good job. They controlled the area reasonably and just stepped on the red line, so that they would not be wiped out by a large army. As for some temptations, it was inevitable.

After Yao Chong reported, Qi Xiu waved him to continue investigating, and he planned to practice another technique.

Yao Chong from before reminded him in some sense that at the third level, he was also qualified to practice that.

Occlumency.

It can block the mind to the maximum extent and prevent high-level experts from reading it. Of course, if the level gap is too big, the effect will not be very good.

But Qi Xiu thought about it, at least he wouldn't let the shadow demon know his psychology very well. In fact, he was quite disgusted with the feeling of unrestricted mind.

He told Mamoru to watch for safety, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice.

Mamoru looked at the practicing Qi Xiu with gentle eyes, full of love, while also monitoring possible threats within a hundred miles.

After she entered the third level, she already had a subjective mind.

Others can only be regarded as separate consciousnesses, controlled by her, rather than the equality of consciousness in the past, and her third-level practice is to unify the clones. In the end, the consciousness is one and can be divided into thousands.

Qi Xiu combined his karma core, dark blue soul, and started practicing with his hands in a triangle shape.

A little light gradually appeared deep in the brain, flashing and dark, alternating between light and dark.

And he just wants to make it stable, so that the karma core and soul can merge together to resist the prying eyes of the outside world.

One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock...

The light gradually converged and changed color, and a thin film appeared around the two, blocking the flow of information.

When it finally blends into the depths of both, Occlumency becomes.

Qi Xiu closed his eyes tightly, his Qi pulse was long, and he made progress step by step.

patter

Big feet with black hair stepped on the road, the streets were deserted and silent, and someone was secretly spying inside the houses.

A burly figure stretched forward with a stern gaze. It was wearing a black cloak and gray clothes handmade by a human tailor. Its thick tail flickered behind it, kicking up streaks of dust.

The dog demon known as the Black King glanced left and right, sneered, and strode forward.

Behind them, one yellow, one gray, and one black dog looked at each other and followed them expressionlessly.

Thick smoke billowed from behind, and densely packed humanoid dog monsters, all powerful and powerful, came one after another, following closely behind.
