Chapter 148 What is my uncle doing?

The miracle doctor was stunned when he was slashed by the puppet, and he even seemed to be cursing.

Audience in the live broadcast room: ...?

Looking at the miracle doctor who was almost swallowed up by the swarm of puppets, Jian Yue on the other side had already started to run.

Audience:?

no?

The comments in the live broadcast room increased almost instantly:

"How on earth did they come up with this ingenious idea?"

"Hahaha, I know the puppets have poor eyesight, but they happen to have a keen sense of smell."

"The miracle doctor is so miserable."

"His head is broken and bloody. He used to be the only one bullying players. Haha, he looks so happy for no reason. What's going on?"

Everyone was discussing enthusiastically.

Jian Yue was about to run away, but the miracle doctor who was almost swallowed by the puppets was naturally not a pushover.

The doctor cursed as he took off Jian Yue's coat, then pointed at Jian Yue not far away and said, "Catch him for me!"

The puppets reacted belatedly and then began to slowly crawl towards Jian Yue.

Jian Yue originally wanted to run towards the small path, but the path was blocked by puppets. Countless puppets seemed to emerge from the ground. They crawled around from all directions and blocked Jian Yue's original path.

There is no escape.

One of the puppet's hands grabbed Jian Yue's foot, holding it tightly.

Jian Yue took out a knife from his pocket, but the moment he chopped down, he met the puppet's dark eyes in just a moment.

The audience saw Jian Yue put away the knife, and then -

He raised his hand and removed the puppet's arm.

The puppet's wooden arms drooped down, looking like broken branches.

The miracle doctor laughed out loud when he saw this scene. He shouted, "Let's see where you can escape this time!"

The moment Jian Yue was about to stand up, another hand reached up from behind him. It was a wooden arm, but the force was so strong that it was impossible for him to break free.

The audience in the live broadcast room were so shocked by this scene that they almost screamed:

“We’re going to be caught!”

"Anchor, you are hot!"

"After all, there are too many puppets. Even if a god came, it would be difficult to save his life now!"

Everyone was talking nervously.

suddenly.

At the end of the path not far away, the gate of a courtyard was opened.

It was drizzling, and a tall figure slowly came into view. Almost the moment he appeared, all the puppets froze in their movements like mice encountering a cat.

As soon as Jian Yue looked up, he saw Ji Huaiyu coming. In the dark night, the tall and straight figure of the man was particularly clear in the silent night.

When he came out, it seemed as if the whole world was quiet.

Jian Yue raised his eyes to look at him.

Ji Huaiyu walked over step by step. The man looked down at him and his clean leather shoes fell in front of Jian Yue.

Jian Yue heard his voice fall: "What are you doing sitting on the ground?"

"Because there is someone behind..." Jian Yue was about to say that the miracle doctor behind him was going crazy, but when he turned around, there was no one behind him.

More than just a miracle doctor.

Even the puppets seemed to have disappeared in an instant. Jian Yue was the only one left sitting on the ground in the quiet path, as if everything that had just happened was indeed a dream.

Jian Yue: “…”

no?

Is it really okay to run so fast?!

He choked up for a moment, then turned around and saw Ji Huaiyu bending down and pulling him up.

Jian Yue's hands were actually a little dirty, with mud and dust on them, which formed a huge contrast with Ji Huaiyu's clean hands. Jian Yue subconsciously said, "My hands are dirty..."

Ji Huaiyu's movements did not pause at all. He held Jian Yue's hand and said slowly, "It's not dirty."

Jian Yue felt the warmth coming from his large palm.

After Ji Huaiyu helped Jian Yue up, he said to Jian Yue, "Wait for me here."

Jian Yue nodded.

Ji Huaiyu stepped forward and stood on the side of the path. There was nothing there, but he bent down, slapped the ground with his broad palms, and then pulled out a puppet from the grass. The puppet was quite small and seemed to be struggling when it was pulled out.

Puppets are all very strong.

But in front of Ji Huaiyu, its struggle was as vulnerable as a child's play. His hand easily lifted the puppet up, and Jian Yue only heard a clear "click".

There seemed to be a tiny scream in the air.

Ji Huaiyu had no expression on his face and set off again.

"Click"

Another snapping sound was heard, followed by another scream.

Jian Yue felt that the sound must be very painful. Ji Huaiyu threw the puppet back to the ground, stood up, walked towards Jian Yue again and said, "Let's go."

Jian Yue pointed behind him: "That..."

Ji Huaiyu said: "Don't worry about it, I'll ask the cleaner to bring the trash can to clean it up tomorrow."

This doesn't seem like dealing with monsters from a horror copy, but more like dealing with some randomly thrown garbage.

Jian Yue: "...That's fine."

The two people walked back.

The night is dark on the roadside.

Jian Yue's ankle was pulled by the puppet. He didn't feel any pain at the time because he was too nervous. But after a while, he realized it and felt very painful. This body was weak and he felt the pain more strongly. In addition, he had climbed the mountain during the day, so his feet felt like they were burned by fire.

"hiss……"

Jian Yue took a breath quietly.

Ji Huaiyu almost stopped walking immediately. The man looked back at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jian Yue's face was a little pale under the street light. Ji Huaiyu noticed it keenly and asked, "What's wrong with your feet?"

The lighting is a little dim.

Ji Huaiyu still squatted down to check. Jian Yue looked at him in front of him and asked curiously, "Isn't your eyesight bad?"

…

There was a moment of silence all around.

Jian Yue took another breath and begged for mercy: "Master, be gentle, it hurts..."

Ji Huaiyu slowly withdrew his hand and whispered, "I told you that the puppet man has poor eyesight. Did I tell you that my eyesight is poor?"

Jian Yue: "It seems not."

He is worthy of being the king of all puppets.

Jian Yue felt that if he had not leaned on Xiaoyu's arms that day, he would definitely not have been able to discover his identity.

Ji Huaiyu ignored Jian Yue's daze and squatted down and said, "Come up."

Jian Yue subconsciously hugged his neck, and Ji Huaiyu was easily carried on his back. His back was really strong and powerful, giving people a very solid sense of security as they walked on the somewhat dark path.

Ji Huaiyu asked, "Did you go to the mountain today?"

Jian Yue didn't expect him to ask this, but then he thought, it seems that there is nothing in this world that can be hidden from Ji Huaiyu, so he nodded and admitted honestly, "I went, because the mayor told me that there is an altar on the mountain where the puppet-controlling tribe had an accident. I learned about some things in the past when I was reading in the bookstore, so I wanted to go and take a look."

Ji Huaiyu said: "You are very brave. Didn't the mayor tell you that there is a ghost there?"

Jian Yue said: "Master, don't you always tell me to believe in science? There are no ghosts in this world."

Ji Huaiyu chuckled, and his laughter slowly dissipated in the wind. He said, "Did you see what you wanted to see?"

Jian Yue said, "I originally wanted to see what was on the altar, but I saw a familiar person. Master, do you know the Miracle Doctor? The legendary Miracle Doctor who can cure all diseases."

Ji Huaiyu didn't react. He said, "You believe this."

Jian Yue shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. If there really is a miracle doctor in this world who can cure all diseases, there would be no death."

Ji Huaiyu's voice was deep and powerful. He said, "Everyone will get sick. They can't escape from these things."

Jian Yue keenly sensed something and said, "It doesn't matter if he's not a human."

Ji Huaiyu said: "Wood lives longer and gets sick less often than humans."

Jian Yue simply asked directly, he said: "Master, is the miracle doctor also a puppet? Is he from your Ji family? I saw him crying at the altar today. He kept saying that he missed his senior sisters and so on..."

Ji Huaiyu was silent for a moment.

It was dark at night, and Jian Yue couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but she could feel the sudden heavy aura around him.

After a while.

Ji Huaiyu said: "He is not."

Jian Yue was a little confused: "Then he..."

"He has been removed from the list." Ji Huaiyu carried the man back to the villa. He asked Jian Yue to sit on the sofa in the main hall and said to Jian Yue, "Sit here."

Jian Yue sat down and saw Ji Huaiyu searching in the drawer, then took out a medicine box from the cabinet. He walked up to Jian Yue, half squatted down, and applied medicine to him.

I didn't notice it when I was outside just now.

When he took a closer look, Jian Yue even gasped. The wound on his ankle was indeed horrifying, a large area of ​​bruises and purples.

Ji Huaiyu opened the ointment box and took out the cool ointment from it. He slowly applied it to Jian Yue's red and swollen ankle.

Jian Yue took a deep breath, and when he saw his wound, he thought of the miracle doctor again. He said, "He was expelled, so is he a disciple?"

Ji Huaiyu said: "It used to be."

Jian Yue's mind went blank for a moment. If he remembered correctly, the puppet control clan had no disciples for a hundred years, but the miracle doctor looked only in his thirties! !

"Then..." Jian Yue's tongue was a little knotted: "He...he he he..."

Ji Huaiyu's expression was calm. He said, "He is already several hundred years old."

Jian Yue's guess was confirmed, and his whole body buzzed. Strangely enough, when he realized that Ji Huaiyu might be a puppet, he was very calm and didn't feel scared. But when he confirmed that the miracle doctor was really a puppet, he felt like the sky was falling.

But it feels wrong.

Jian Yue said: "How come he looks like a living person with blood? Other puppets I've seen don't have that."

Ji Huaiyu said: "He is the puppet created by the ancestor of the puppet control clan, Mr. Ji."

Jian Yue remembered what was recorded in the book, saying that the masterpiece of the puppet-controlling clan's ancestor, Ji Lao, was a puppet that looked almost like a living person, and was known as the King of All Puppets.

etc……

Jian Yue's eyes widened again, and he finally reacted: "Then who are you?"

The audience in the live broadcast room finally laughed when they saw this:

"Finally I got the point, host!"

"Thank you so much!"

"Oh my god, he finally found it!"

"Thank God!"

By the time they got here, Jian Yue's live broadcast room had accumulated 20,000 people online. The reason was not for anything else, but first of all, this copy was rare in that it had all three gold cards, and secondly, this copy was the only one, and the difficulty of the novice copy had increased because too many big guys entered.

Moreover, the plot progress opened by Jian Yue is close to the highest historical progress, so most of the players naturally come here for his reputation.

And inside the house.

Under Jian Yue's gaze, Ji Huaiyu looked up at him. The man's brows were as cold as peaks. He opened his lips calmly and said, "I never said I was."

Jian Yue: "...It seems not."

but!

If it's not this identity! What else could it be? !

Ji Huaiyu said calmly, "I am indeed a puppet, but I was not created by Master Ji. It's just that I was saved by him in the mountains, and later raised by the people of the master's sect. I have been staying in the Ji family, and occasionally help deal with some puppets that are deviant and out of control."

Jian Yue suddenly realized, and he said: "Since you already exist, why does the ancestor want to create another living puppet?"

Ji Huaiyu raised his eyes and looked at Jian Yue, his eyes were meaningful, and he said calmly: "In this world, few people can escape their obsessions."

Obsession.

This was not the first time that Jian Yue heard this word, but he always felt that there seemed to be some deeper meaning behind this word.

If one King of Puppets is enough to control puppets that may harm people, why is it necessary to create a living puppet?

Jian Yue asked: "Is the puppet technique difficult?"

Ji Huaiyu had already bandaged his wound and said, "It's a forbidden technique."

Jian Yue naturally realized that those who died mysteriously, those who had their sanity eroded by puppets, were all victims.

If this kind of magic is not forbidden, then what else is it?

"So, young master, you have noticed that some people are still using this forbidden technique. Did you come back specially to investigate?" Jian Yue guessed belatedly.

Ji Huaiyu had already stood up. He was standing by the sink not far away, washing his hands. After hearing this, he looked back at Jian Yue. The tall and handsome man curled his lips and whispered, "Not that stupid."

Jian Yue said: "But the miracle doctor has some reputation outside. Didn't the young master doubt him?"

Ji Huaiyu wiped his hands with a towel, and the water drops on his slender fingertips were wiped away: "The puppet's forbidden technique, the cunning rabbit has three burrows, even if you catch someone, you can still escape."

The more Jian thought about it, the more likely it was.

Ji Huaiyu said directly: "A month later is the festival day, which is the day when the master's clan members are in trouble. If he wants to revive them, he will go to the altar. There is a soul-locking town on the altar, and he can't escape."

One month later.

Jian Yue was keenly aware of the sensitivity of this number.

Often, once a copy is given a specific time limit and major event, if the ultimate copy mission cannot be completed on that day, the copy world may collapse, which is also the final mission deadline for all their players.

really.

When this sentence came down.

Jian Yue saw the system panel refreshed: "

Trigger the main quest: [The Divine Doctor's Secret Resurrection Plan]

Mission details: The miracle doctor has been secretly trying to resurrect his people. Please stop him on the festival day one month later.

Mission reward: 100,000 points."

What a generous reward!!

Jian Yue's eyes widened. He had never seen a system so generous before. His dream of upgrading his cards would surely come true soon!

but……

Jian Yue thought of the key point of the question. He raised his head and looked at Ji Huaiyu who was not far away. He said softly, "Master, he wants to revive his people. Can he really do it?"

Ji Huaiyu said: "The so-called resurrection technique is actually just using other people's bodies to give to the deceased souls, exchanging lives for lives."

No wonder it is called a forbidden technique.

Jane understood more.

Ji Huaiyu continued: "All forbidden techniques in this world will come at a huge price, and puppetry is no exception."

Jian Yue thought about the people he had met, and indeed, none of them had a good ending.

Life is an obsession.

Jian Yue suddenly felt that this sentence was right. In fact, if those who came to seek help from the miracle doctor did not have obsessions in their hearts, they would probably not be the targets of the miracle doctor. It is hard to say who is right or wrong. After all, no one can truly overcome his own obsession.

Ji Huaiyu said, "You stay here first. The side room I prepared for you is almost ready. I'm going to take care of some official business. I'll bring you food later."

Jian Yue was still digesting the situation, and subconsciously nodded and said, "Okay."

He thought about what happened tonight.

I always feel like I have missed something, this must be very important.

Just thinking about it.

Someone came in from outside. They were two girls in black gowns. Their steps were still very smooth, but their eyes were still dark, which made people feel scared when they stared at people.

The two little girls were holding food and rice porridge in their hands.

Jian Yue said: "Thank you."

The girls nodded, still staring at Jian Yue as before. This gaze made Jian Yue feel a little uneasy. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have met these two girls when he asked for directions before.

Jian Yue asked tentatively: "Have we met before?"

The two girls nodded.

Jian Yue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was probably not some puppet that was hostile to him. He asked, "Why are you two staring at me like that?"

One of the puppet girls with short braids said, "We are looking at our senior brother's bride."

Jian Yue smiled and said, "Who?"

The girl with long braids pointed at Jian Yue.

Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said, "Brother, do you mean Young Master?"

The two girls nodded. Their master called Ji Huaiyu "Senior Brother", so they were puppets of their masters and naturally followed suit.

Jian Yue was a little surprised to hear this title, and he said, "Why do you think I'm his bride?"

The two puppet girls blinked their dark and deep eyes, and finally spoke slowly: "Because Senior Brother never sleeps with other puppets. In the past, Master and Master's Wife were afraid that Senior Brother would feel like a girl, so they even gave him a bride, but he still refused to sleep with them."

Jian Yue heard the key point, and he said: "Xiao Yu... Oh no, did your senior brother have a bride before?"

The puppet girl said, "No, my senior brother said he didn't like it. Master and his wife even tried it with a test piece of wood, but they really didn't feel anything, so they gave up."

Jian Yue asked: "What is that?"

The puppet girl replied, "It is a tool used by our tribe to test wood. It was invented by the eldest sister in the past. The test wood is placed in the puppet's hand, and if it is someone they like, it will vibrate."

Jian Yue immediately became interested. How could he not use such a good thing!

"Where is this thing?" Jian Yue said, "Can I use it?"

The two puppet girls said seriously, "This was our senior sister's favorite thing. After she left, we don't know where it went. We don't know either."

Jian Yue felt a little regretful, but still held on to the last hope and asked, "What does that thing look like?"

The two puppet girls compared their appearances, and Jian Yue discovered that it looked like a ring. He asked, "What's your senior sister's name?"

The puppet girl replied, "Call me Senior Sister Yu."

Jian Yue: “…”

The audience in the live broadcast room were amused by his reaction:

"Hahahaha what a coincidence!"

"The ring is in his arms!"

"I give in!"

"You tricked someone into returning their lost items!"

Jian Yue had already guessed it, so all he could say now was, "Don't worry, since it's your senior sister's stuff, I will do my best to help you find it back in the future!"

The two puppet girls did not expect Jian Yue to say this, and they slowly bowed to Jian Yue. This was the first time that Jian Yue saw the puppets in the mansion respect him like this, as they usually ignored him when they saw him.

It’s really great to see that the puppets of the puppet family really respect and miss their masters.

Jian Yue remembered that he had not told Xiaoyu about his ring yet, so he stood up, walked to the study not far away and knocked on the door: "Master, can I come in?"

Ji Huaiyu's voice came from inside: "Come in."

Jian Yue opened the door and stood inside, watching Ji Huaiyu, who was handling official business, looking at him and said, "Didn't I ask you to have dinner?"

"I'm not hungry yet, and you haven't eaten yet, so I'll wait for you to finish your work and then we can eat together." Jian Yue said, "And I remembered that there is something I haven't told you, I actually got a cultural relic from outside, and it seems to be related to the Ji family."

Ji Huaiyu put down the document in his hand and asked, "What?"

Jian Yue took out the jade ring from his pocket. The ring was particularly clear and eye-catching under the light in the room.

really.

Ji Huaiyu recognized it almost immediately. He asked, "Test wood?"

Jian Yue nodded, but he was curious: "Why do you all call it Shimu? Isn't this a jade ring?"

Ji Huaiyu said: "This stone is produced by the spiritual vein on the mountain. It is connected to the trees in the mountain and can communicate with the puppet's mind, so it is named Test Wood."

Jian Yue said: "So that's how it is."

Ji Huaiyu responded.

Jian Yue held the ring in his hand. He just realized that no matter how hard he held it, the ring would not get hot or move. He said, "The little girl outside said that this ring can test the puppets' feelings. If they meet someone they like, the ring will move."

Ji Huaiyu said: "I have never seen it move. This is just something my junior sister made up to deceive people..."

Just saying.

Jian Yue put his hand from his own hand into Ji Huaiyu's hand.

In an instant.

Both of them stared at the palm of his hand, and then, under their gaze, the ordinary ring changed color!

Just at this moment.

There were footsteps outside. The two people were looking at the ring together when Ji Huaisheng's voice came: "Uncle! I have something to discuss with you, you..."

The door was opened.

The three eyes met, and there was a ring, and the world was silent for a moment.
