Puppeteer is one of the most popular professions on this continent.
Their hands seem to possess the most magical power, able to make wooden dolls come alive.
Today is the grandest Puppet Festival of the year. Countless adults and children gather in the Puppet City, and almost everyone holds a puppet in their hands.
There were also many people performing on the roadside. The puppets, which originally had dull expressions, began to perform vividly once they were in the hands of the puppeteers.
Some puppeteers even use ventriloquism to pretend that the puppets are talking, making the children scream in surprise.
The adults knew what was going on, but they still laughed along.
Amidst all the laughter and joy, bad things still happened.
Some puppets are not just puppets.
Some puppeteers do more than just control puppets.
In a dark corner of the Puppet City, someone was kneeling on the ground chanting a spell. In front of him, a formation drawn with blood was constantly emitting evil black mist.
In the center of the formation, an exquisite puppet half a person's height was carefully placed on the ground.
The black fog quickly gathered on the puppet, and gradually, the puppet seemed to come alive.
He really came back to life!
His eyes, which had been closed due to lying down, suddenly opened, and his black pupils became bright.
Click, click.
The puppet's joints moved, and the person kneeling in front of the formation became excited, and even the voice of the incantation became more urgent.
The next second, the puppet stood up suddenly, and the rolling black mist around him was instantly absorbed by him.
At the same time, a drop of blood mixed with the black mist quickly sank into the puppet's eyebrows.
A flash of red light flashed in the puppet's eyes, and then it calmed down and stood motionless.
"Great! It worked! I finally succeeded!"
The man suddenly shouted excitedly, and rushed towards the puppet in front of him, wanting to pick it up excitedly.
But the next second, the man seemed to be kicked and flew out heavily.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his eyes widened as big as copper bells.
The puppet's eyes were fierce and murderous. It quickly stepped forward and used its clumsy hands to make claws, attacking the man's chest fiercely. It seemed that the man was about to be killed on the spot.
Suddenly he muttered something, and the puppet froze instantly. Just as the man showed a complacent and contemptuous look, the puppet suddenly retreated and quickly ran into the alley.
The puppet he summoned by sacrificing his life actually ran away!
But the man was not in a hurry, and even had an expression as if to say, "As expected," and just quickly got up from the ground.
Then he sat down cross-legged again and continued to chant the spell, trying to summon back the escaped puppet.
The puppet was drawn by his blood, and a master-servant contract had been signed when it was summoned. The puppet's attack on its master just now had backfired according to the rules of the contract.
This situation had been foreseen, as almost every puppet soul that was summoned would rebel against its master at the beginning.
But it doesn’t matter, our predecessors have already summed up the experience.
First, let the puppet attack the master because of the master-servant contract. After the puppet's soul is damaged by the rules of the contract, you can use the contract to completely suppress the puppet's soul!
However, this time, he seemed to have miscalculated. He recited the summoning spell over and over again, and the expression on his face gradually changed from calm to panic.
Half an hour later, when he could no longer sense the existence of the puppet, he panicked and spat out another mouthful of blood.
"How is that possible!"
Then he opened his eyes wide and fell to the ground with a bang.
Only the slightly rising and falling of his chest proved that he was still alive. He was soon discovered by a nearby scavenger, who called the security team to take him away.
At this time, the little puppet covered in blood finally walked out slowly from the hidden corner.
There is a red mole between the puppet's eyebrows, just like a beauty mole.
It becomes more and more exquisite and beautiful.
"Master, what should we do now? You've become a puppet, an evil puppet at that, and now you have a new master?"
Xiao Hei was completely confused. What should he call his master's master?
Master?
Then he shuddered. It was so disgusting. Its owner didn't need any master!
The little doll, Bai Chi, pinched his brows, but what he touched was the same feeling as wood.
Well, his body has turned into wood now, this experience is really boring!
Sure enough, some new things should not be tried at all!
Half an hour ago, he experimented what it would be like if he entered the exiled world without the little black gang.
The result was that the spirit body was constantly torn apart, and the moment it entered the small world, it was instantly suppressed, with almost no resistance, and was attracted into the body of the puppet by a strange force.
If it were in the past, the so-called master-servant contract would never have fallen on him. He could even directly reverse the contract and turn the puppeteer into a servant!
But in just this moment of losing power, the master-servant contract was completed.
He was so angry that he took action directly, but was then hit back by the contract.
Later, because he refused the master's call, he was punished by the rules of the contract. Although his wooden body was fine, his suppressed spiritual body was in unbearable pain and was extremely irritable.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Chi forced himself to calm down.
"Xiao Hei, give me the original owner's memories first."
'OK. '
While Xiao Hei had just finished browsing the original owner's memory, he quickly transmitted the information to his master.
This world not only has puppeteers, but also various magicians. Puppeteers may also be able to perform magic, but puppets are just puppets.
But since when, some people began to be dissatisfied with simple puppets. They wanted the puppets to come alive, to be like humans, and to be more obedient!
So, some people began to study black magic, summoning the souls of the dead from nearby, attaching them to the puppets, and then signing a master-servant contract to make the puppets truly alive - puppets!
The original owner was just a child's soul, and didn't even have a name when he died.
He has been wandering around the mass graves near the Puppet City. If nothing unexpected happens, he will disappear into thin air one morning when the sun rises soon.
However, an accident occurred.
When the formation captured the nearby souls, all the souls were scrambling to escape. Only the original owner was young and ignorant, and knew nothing. He became the puppeteer's puppet in a daze.
A puppet that doesn't know how to resist and is obedient is a huge treasure to the puppeteer!
There is no need to rely on contracts to suppress the puppet's resistance, and there is no need to worry that the puppet may use other forces to kill its master at any time.
And such a puppet, which is comparable to a human child, can be completely controlled by yourself with just a little training!
