Chapter 2020: Puppet Master
In Dongtivian, Mosans and his gang just got off the carriage and walked into the passage where Nefernis entered. Soon, they saw Nefernis walking deeper into the alley in front of them.
"Follow me, sir."
Mosans whispered, then led his little brothers to continue following.
In this way, this group of people followed Nefernis and began to wander around in the alleys of the city. During this period, one of Mosans's younger brothers asked curiously.
"Brother, why did that little girl suddenly come in here? Did she find us and want to escape now?"
"Maybe, we need to keep a closer eye on her." Mosan said this, and at the same time he was also thinking about Nefernis's deeper motives for going into the alley.
In Mosans' opinion, Nephnis wanted to confuse them through these alleys and then take the opportunity to escape. If this was true, then she was totally wrong. They were very familiar with this area and in the end, she would be the one who would be confused.
Mosans thought so proudly, and then continued to follow with his little brothers. After following for an unknown period of time, they finally saw Nefernis walking into a deserted dead end, with a completely blocked dead end in front of her.
"The opportunity has come. She is in a dead end. Let's go up."
Seeing this scene, Mosans chuckled and whispered to the younger brothers around him, and then several people rushed forward together and cut off Nephnis's retreat.
"Hey, the lady in front, we meet again."
With his little brothers, Mosans smiled and said to Nefernis who was standing against the wall in front of him. Then they saw the woman in front of them slowly turn around and said with a playful smile through her veil.
"Oh... What a coincidence, Mr. Mosans, is this world really a small place? Or have you been following me?"
'This tone seems a little different...'
Seeing Nefernis turning around in front of him, Mosans frowned and thought, but he didn't care too much and continued to speak.
"Haha... Tracking is an exaggeration. We are protecting you, young lady. As a newcomer to the secret world, it is very dangerous for you to trade with secret resources alone, so we are protecting you for a while.
"But now think about it, it's too dangerous to leave the precious secret resources in the hands of a newcomer like you... Otherwise... you might as well hand the things over to us for safekeeping. We promise to keep them safe for you."
Mosans said with a smile, his words carrying an obvious threat. At the same time, the younger brothers around him also began to gear up and prepare to take action, cheering for Mosans.
Looking at the situation in front of her, Nephnis continued to speak with a changed smile.
"It looks like I was robbed by you. If I hand over my things obediently, will you let me go safely?"
"Of course, we won't kill you or rape you. We just want a little money, and we won't take your other worldly possessions. At most, we'll just ask for some secret resources, whether it's ritual materials, extraordinary items, storage items, or tons of legends.
"I advise you to just hand it over yourself, young lady. If I were to do anything, I can't guarantee that you wouldn't get hurt."
Spreading out his hands, Mosans looked at Nefernis and said this. After hearing this, Nefernis remained expressionless, silently took out her exquisite ladies' bag and handed it over.
"Take it, it's all here."
Seeing what Nefernis said and listening to her words, Mosans winked at a younger brother beside him, and then the younger brother stepped forward to get the things.
And looking at the younger brother who came forward with a smile, Nephnis coldly added another one.
"If you have something to take..."
After he finished speaking, he swung his other hand fiercely and hit the younger brother in the face. The younger brother's mouth was crooked and his teeth flew out. He was knocked to the side and fell to the ground unconscious.
"You dare to do it? Go ahead!"
"You're done chick!"
Seeing this sudden scene, Mosans and his brothers rushed up roaring.
Facing this scene, "Nephnis" smiled slightly, then held the strap of her bag, swung the bag around like a meteor hammer, and then slammed it sideways, hitting the closest little brother, who screamed and flew away. Then she swung it again, hitting another little brother's leg, and the huge force directly broke his leg, and this little brother also fell to the side in pain.
In order to have a weapon without alerting the people following her, Nephnis picked up two bricks while shopping and stuffed them into her bag, increasing the hardness and weight of the bricks to make a meteor hammer.
The real Nefernis saw this scene in her mind and screamed in her heart.
'My makeup! My bag!'
Yes, the one who is controlling Nefernis's body now is Dorothy in the distant room. What she is using at this moment is the new ability she gained after the branch of the puppeteer - the living puppet.
As a "puppet master", Dorothy is no longer limited to manipulating corpses. She can use the "puppet mark" as a medium to allow her spiritual thread to invade the body of a living creature, and then control his behavior and manipulate his actions as if he were a corpse puppet.
The limitation is that the living creature to be controlled must have a puppet mark printed on it first, and the controlled creature must be within the control's sight.
If the person being controlled resists when the spiritual silk invades, then even ordinary people will find it difficult to control him successfully. After investing a lot of "initiation", although forced control can be carried out, it will not last long.
With Dorothy's current level, she could barely control small animals. It was very difficult to control ordinary people, let alone extraordinary people. However, if she did not choose to resist when the spiritual silk invaded, it would be too late to resist after the forest silk invasion.
In the carriage, Dorothy asked Nefernis to draw a puppet mark on her. With the help of the field of vision provided by the information channel, she controlled Nefernis remotely. Unlike controlling corpse puppets, there is no distance limit for controlling living puppets. As long as the mark can be seen or sensed, it can be controlled.
At the same time, compared to corpse puppets, living puppets consume more energy. The activation of each living puppet will consume 1 "cup" and 1 "activation". After that, every 20 minutes, it will consume another 1 "cup" and 1 "activation" as maintenance costs. After the spiritual fee cannot be paid, the living puppet will be released.
Under Dorothy's control, Nefernis moved back and forth among the gangsters. She used the "meteor hammer" made of the expensive bag and bricks in her hand, and her fists and feet to knock down the gangsters one by one. With fast speed, great strength, and exquisite steps, Nefernis was fighting among the gangsters like an invincible hero.
Logically speaking, Nefnis's physical fitness is far inferior to those thugs. No matter how good Dorothy's pilot skills are, it will be useless if the body panel of the machine she controls is not good. Many of her skills cannot be displayed. The reason why Nefnis is so good at fighting and can beat the thugs one by one with one punch is because of another ability of the puppeteer.
The ability of spiritual silk.
After advancing to the level of "Puppet Master", Dorothy can not only control the corpse puppets, but also has some control over the medium that controls the corpse puppets - spiritual threads.
Now, Dorothy can transmit a certain state of herself through spiritual silk, corpse dolls or living puppets. This state can be the passive state of some extraordinary items or some kind of granted effect.
For example, now Dorothy has put a Life-Saving Talisman on her body. After paying the spiritual power to make the Life-Saving Talisman take effect, she can transfer this effect to any corpse or living puppet through the guidance of the spiritual thread. This is the extraordinary conduction of the spiritual thread.
So now Nephnis has the effect of ghoulness, and her physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people, so she was able to beat this group of thugs and make them cry for their parents.
Just when Dorothy was enjoying the fight with Nefernis, an extremely powerful fist came from the side of Nefernis, more violent than all the previous thugs. Upon closer inspection, it was Mosans.
