"Monster! Monster!!!"
Soon, Xiao Tangqiu understood the reason why the little boy was screaming. It turned out that the door of the antique shop had been blocked by "small town residents" since some time ago. Those people who were lively and lively during the day were looking at them in the antique shop with stiff and dull expressions. There were also many people lying on the windows of the antique shop, looking at them through the glass, their eyes also dull and lifeless.
This looked like a scene from a zombie movie, but these "town residents" outside were obviously not zombies. Their appearance was no different from that during the day, except that their expressions became stiff and dull. The only difference was that they had more joints between their hands and feet - the kind of joints unique to puppets.
Xiao Tangqiu reacted instantly: "The residents of this town will turn into puppets after the sun goes down!"
Did the townspeople turn into puppets after sunset, or did these man-made puppets become the townspeople during the day? He obviously didn't have the time or energy to think about this question now, because right after the little boy screamed, some puppets squeezed into the small antique shop and rushed towards them aggressively.
Soon, more puppets rushed in, breaking through the glass of the window and knocking the goods in the store to the ground. They didn't look like puppets that children played with at all, but more like ferocious zombies.
Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously wanted to find a weapon around him to protect himself, but Duan Hongzhen had already drawn out his flying knife. However, before he could make any move, he was stopped by Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan said in a cold voice, "Wait a minute, these puppets might also be included in the range of 'indestructible dolls' that Lepnobet mentioned."
Duan Hongzhen abruptly retracted the flying knife from his fingertips. He raised an eyebrow with an incredulous look on his face: "Those broken dolls in the castle can't be destroyed, so can't the dolls in this small town be destroyed?"
The aloof girl also spoke up, "These puppets were most likely made by Lepnobet. As long as they were made by him, they should fall under the category of 'not to be damaged.'"
Duan Hongzhen clearly wasn't a good-tempered person, but after hearing what Shen Yuan and the aloof girl said, he actually obediently put down his flying knife, which surprised Xiao Tangqiu. Was this the "rule" that players had to abide by? Even if following the "rule" might mean death, did they still have to continue to do so? Although he was deeply puzzled, now was clearly not the time to ask questions.
"Since we can't destroy it, we can only run," Duan Hongzhen shrugged. "As a gentleman, I'll lead the way. You guys run faster. If you fall behind, I won't stop to wait."
He obviously said this to Xiao Tangqiu and others. Without waiting for their reply, he rushed towards the small door at the back of the antique shop. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other and both took out some self-defense items. Although Shen Yuan said that the puppet should not be damaged, this was obviously not a big problem for them - Shen Yuan had to be careful to avoid damaging the puppet, but they had to be careful to avoid being damaged by the puppet!
Fortunately, although the puppet army came with great momentum, their attack power was not too high, at most they were just a little stronger. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian relied on their bodies to resist and actually broke through a path. Soon they were back on the street.
However, upon returning to the street, Xiao Tangqiu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. The streets were filled with densely packed puppets, and in the distance, some unusual puppets surged towards them. Their skin had rotted away, and some were missing eyeballs and other organs. Some were even reduced to nothing but bones. The only thing they had in common with the other puppets was that they had joints...
"Fuck! That pervert actually made a dead person into a puppet!"
Tang Mianmian murmured, he was completely stunned. Although the combat effectiveness of these puppet armies was not high, such a large group of puppets gathered together... it was simply unimaginable!
Duan Hongzhen, who was at the front, also spread his hands and said, "This is too much. It seems a little difficult to escape without damaging them."
At this moment, the deafening sound of church bells suddenly rang out not far away.
——It’s the hour again.
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly had an idea: "Go to the church! They seem to be afraid to go near the church during the day!"
Seeing the zombie puppet army surging towards them, Xiao Tangqiu was extremely anxious. However, his temporary teammates obviously did not agree with his suggestion. Duan Hongzhen raised an eyebrow and said, "The church is in the center of the town. If we want to go back, we have to go back."
The aloof girl also said coldly: "This place is very close to the town exit. There is no need for us to go far away."
At this moment, Shen Yuan spoke: "Go to church."
Xiao Tangqiu just blurted out subconsciously. After he calmed down, he felt that something was wrong. If he wanted to go to the church, he would have to go back the same way, which would get further and further away from the town exit... He didn't expect Shen Yuan to agree.
Shen Yuan was obviously a very majestic captain. At his command, everyone obeyed decisively and turned around to leave. No one expressed dissatisfaction and no one raised any objections. Lu Si'er and the little boy naturally did not dare to object. Everyone quickly set out on the road back to the church.
Although they could not use force, Shen Yuan and others were still able to deal with the puppet army with ease. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian had a hard time. They took the long wooden carvings they picked up from the antique shop and waved them like sticks to drive away the puppet army chasing them. They stumbled and bumped into each other along the way and almost fell behind several times.
When they finally saw the dawn of hope, their clothes were torn into several pieces and they looked very miserable. Finally, when they stepped into the church, a magical thing happened - the puppets really stopped chasing them. Like photophobic creatures afraid of sunlight, they lingered outside the church for a while and soon scattered.
Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian ran out of breath and sat down on the floor. Duan Hongzhen looked at them and raised an eyebrow: "Why are you such weaklings?"
Xiao Tangqiu gave a bitter laugh and was about to say something when Tang Mianmian suddenly shouted, "This church... this church seems to have changed!"
Everyone looked up and saw that the church was completely different from what it was when they left not long ago. Although the atmosphere of the previous church was heavy and weird, it was still a normal church. But now the church was completely different. There were traces of fire everywhere, broken glass windows, and damaged murals. It seemed as if it had been abandoned for many years, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.
