Chapter 83: Organs

In the upper city of Igwynt, on the northern bank of the middle and upper reaches of the Iron River, fierce gunfire continued above Buck's mansion, and the residents of the White Silver River were startled one after another, and the entire White Silver River fell into panic.

In the corridor on the third floor of the mansion, Dorothy controlled four corpses to fire continuously at the wooden door at the end of the corridor. The high-speed and dense bullets penetrated the wooden door and shot into the study. Buck, who was standing in the study, quickly hid to the side, but he was still hit directly by two bullets, which made a trickle of blood ooze from the corner of his mouth.

"There are enemies outside too!? Someone broke in?"

This was Buck's first thought at this moment, and the servants outside the door did not slowly reload after firing the bullets in their revolvers, but pulled out a piece of straw paper from their bodies and stuck it on their bodies in unison. When the straw paper burned out, a faint "cup" mark appeared on the place where it was stuck.

The Life-Saving Talisman, these days are standard equipment for members of the Holy Communion. As Buck's servants and butlers, they naturally have this kind of thing. Anyway, they have become corpses and the "cup" left in their bodies will not be used in the future, so Dorothy might as well put it to use now.

As the Shengku Talisman took effect, a red light flashed in the eyes of the corpse puppets, and then they all rushed towards the wooden door in front of them, smashing it directly with the violent impact.

"What……"

Buck couldn't help but be startled when he saw the familiar figure suddenly rushing into the study. However, before he could think about it, four zombies that had eaten their fill pounced fiercely at him and Clifford at a very fast speed.

"Ah! What's wrong with these guys! Aren't they your men, Buck?"

"I don't know! He must be controlled by something! Just like Brandon just now!"

For a moment, Buck and Clifford were besieged by the reinforced zombies. Buck was fine, although he was shot twice, but this did not affect the Thirsty Man's basic mobility for the time being, and Buck was able to deal with them.

It was different for Clifffoot. He was already covered in wounds at the dock and had just been shot by Brandon. His wounds had seriously affected his movements. Facing the crazy siege of the enhanced zombies, he began to be constantly scratched and bitten. If he was not careful, a large piece of his flesh would be torn off and blood would spurt out even more. Soon Clifffoot became a bloody man with miserable screams.

Seeing this, Buck realized that these tricks would not work, so he found an opportunity. He wiped the watch in his hand, and the small mechanism in the watch started to work.

The skin-contact side of Buck's watch opened automatically due to a small mechanism, and then a folded symbol hidden inside the watch was printed on Buck's hand, then burned to ashes, leaving a mark.

At this moment, a red light flashed in Buck's eyes.

Hidden inside Buck's watch is a Life-Saving Talisman that has been copied and overlapped using a special technique. The Life-Saving Talisman was originally made based on the extraordinary characteristics of the Thirsty Man. A normal Life-Saving Talisman can allow ordinary people to temporarily possess the physical strength of a Thirsty Man by consuming the "Cup", while the Thirsty Man himself will have little effect when using the Life-Saving Talisman, which is far less effective than that of an ordinary person, unless he uses multiple talismans at the same time to allow the little effect to accumulate in an instant.

Simply put, if the Hungry One wants to use the Sheng Kuai to achieve the same strengthening effect as ordinary people, he needs to use multiple pieces at a time. The Sheng Kuai talisman in Buck's watch is a special item that is repeatedly written on a piece of straw paper with a special technique. It is extremely precious and can be used as several pieces. At the same time, it will also consume a large number of "cups" in one go. If it is not a "cup", the Extraordinary One will die after using it a few times, and will not even have the chance to explode at the end. This is Buck's trump card.

Relying on the copy of life, Buck almost gained a further leap in physical strength at the cost of all the "cups" on his body, reaching the level of crushing the zombies. For a moment, his figure turned into a high-speed shadow, almost impossible to catch in the field of vision. Buck waved his staff sword through the zombies, and in a few seconds he cut four zombies in half. The zombies struggled and fell to the ground, and they were separated up and down and lost their ability to move.

"Shit... Is this even possible? This guy has some hidden cards..."

In the carriage, Dorothy, who saw this scene, couldn't help but complain in a low voice, saying that Buck was obviously not like the previous Burton and was much more difficult to deal with.

"Oh no... All the corpses in this house are gone, and one of those two guys is injured and the other is seriously injured. Now it's a mess. It would be a shame to give up like this..."

Sitting in the carriage, Dorothy thought like this. In her opinion, Buck's sudden strength was something that Burton and Clifford did not have. It might be that he used some trump card, and such a trump card did not have obvious side effects or could not last for a long time at the beginning. After a while, those guys would be the weakest.

"How can we retreat when the situation is so bad? We must take advantage of the situation to kill you. Now that things have come to this, there is no way I can let you escape."

Having made up her mind, Dorothy got off the carriage herself, and used the corpse ring to pull up Edric who was leaning on the driver's seat, and then they headed towards the bloody mansion not far away together.

…

In Buck's study, there were corpses all over the floor, blood everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere. The flowing blood had completely stained the carpet.

“Hoo…Hoo…Hoo…”

Buck, who had just finished the effect of the talisman, kept gasping for breath with his hands on the table, while Clifford, who had struggled to stand up, looked at him and spoke weakly.

"Finally... solved?"

"Not yet. That guy's ability is too weird. We haven't even encountered his true form yet, so there's no way we can solve the problem." Looking around, Buck stood up and said.

"He... or they may still be ambushing us somewhere outside. It would be dangerous if we go out now. We need to leave here immediately from the dark..."

As he spoke, Buck came to his fireplace, stretched out his hand, grasped a candlestick, turned it left and right several times, and triggered some mechanism inside.

Then, accompanied by the sound of the mechanism roaring, the bookshelf in the study slowly opened, revealing the secret room inside. In the center of the secret room stood an altar in the shape of a "cup".

"Grab all the important stuff, we'll be leaving in a heartbeat!"

As he was talking, Buck and Clifford entered the secret room together. During this process, Buck, who was about to take something, thought about it, then entered the secret room and pulled a rope on the wall. Then the secret room automatically closed slowly until the door was completely closed.

Knowing that the threat still existed, Buck chose to close the entrance to the secret room to prevent pursuit.

"Oh, you even know how to close the door..."

Dorothy, who had just arrived on the first floor of Buck's mansion, couldn't help but smile when she saw this scene. Then the corpse puppet ring was activated, awakening the "eyes" that he had left in Buck's study.

Under the effect of the corpse ring, Brandon slowly stood up from the corpses on the ground.

Brandon had just been pierced through the head by Buck, and such damage could not freeze him in the state of corpse transformation. However, Dorothy still managed to remove Brandon's corpse transformation at the moment he was pierced, making him look like he was killed in Buck's eyes.

The reason for this is that Dorothy didn't want to expose the true nature of her ability, and she wanted to give the other party a smokescreen, making him think that her ability was mind control or something. The second reason was that Dorothy made Brandon a backup for the next action. Buck thought Brandon was dead, so he wouldn't be too alert, and maybe there would be some unexpected uses, such as suddenly stabbing him from behind when the angle was right.

However, the opportunity for backstab did not come, but it had another effect.

While thinking, Dorothy and the corpse doll Edrick came to the third floor. Dorothy found a place to hide herself, and then asked Edrick to stand in the corridor and point the gun at the bookshelf in the study.

Then, Dorothy began to control Brandon to turn the candlestick above the fireplace left and right, and the direction and rhythm of the rotation were exactly the same as Buck had turned before.

The whole process of Buck turning the candlestick was seen by Brandon who was "playing dead", and Dorothy remembered it exactly with her memory.

As the code was correctly entered, the sound of the mechanism humming was heard again in the study, and the bookshelf serving as the door to the secret room slowly opened.
