In the sneak attack, one of Brandon's arms was cut off by the sharp dagger. Brandon, whose arm was cut off, had the means to clamp the thin man for a while. However, just when Brandon's arm and body were severed and the thin man was about to be free, a strange situation occurred.
The arm that was severed by the sturdy man suddenly reconnected automatically before it fell, and it healed as before without even a drop of blood being shed. Brandon still held the thin man who was still struggling weakly with his intact body, as if the scene of the severed arm just now was an illusion and had never existed at all.
The sturdy man was startled when he saw this weird scene, but he didn't have much time to be amazed. He swung the hand holding the dagger again and stabbed it directly into Brandon's neck. However, even this fatal blow could not make Brandon fall. Instead, a strange tingling sensation was transmitted from the dagger that pierced Brandon's body to the sturdy man. The man was so stabbed that his whole body twitched slightly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the corpses in the closet who had missed before rushed forward and grabbed the strong man's clothes tightly. This time the strong man could not escape and was clamped tightly by several corpses. The bound strong man struggled hard, but he was completely unable to break free. Unable to touch the wall or the ground, he couldn't even rely on passing through the wall or escaping underground to leave.
Both invaders were subdued, and the next thing was much easier. Under the force of the zombies, their mouths and noses were covered tightly, and they could not breathe smoothly. Finally, after struggling for a long time, the two men collapsed and stopped moving at all. After both of them made no sound, the zombies finally let them go, ending this short and fierce fight.
In a hotel room far away, Dorothy, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief after seeing this scene.
"Huh... I finally got it done. There were quite a few unexpected situations... I didn't expect that the two who came were actually strangers..."
Rubbing her brows, Dorothy's originally relaxed expression revealed a hint of solemnity. Although this ambush was successful in the end, she did not feel very satisfied. The current result was not what she wanted most.
"Listening to the conversation between the two guys, they seemed to be planning to take all the people and things back to the city...but I didn't expect them to take off all their clothes before taking them back."
Dorothy thought so. She originally wanted to let the two men carry Brandon back to their nest. However, after the fatal scars on Brandon's body were discovered, Dorothy knew that Brandon's identity as a corpse might be discovered, so she decisively took tough measures and directly pinned them down.
However, some unexpected events occurred during the implementation of this tough measure.
'These two Walled Ones... seem to have a higher resistance to electric current than other Beyonders. When I used the Galvanic Body Technique to shock that skinny guy, I didn't shock him to unconsciousness right away.
'When on the White Pearl, this current was enough to take down a waterbender, but it was unable to knock down the wallbender immediately. Was it because the hardening of the 'stone' also weakened the current? Because he couldn't knock down the skinny guy immediately, Brandon, who was in a critical condition, had no way to immediately switch to support, and was forced to continue fighting, which invisibly prolonged the entire battle.
'The most crucial point is... my corpse doll shot the strong man twice as soon as it came out of the closet, and then the guy stood up and walked through the wall like nothing happened. The bullets seemed to have no effect. Isn't the main function of the wall guest 'shadow' and the auxiliary function 'stone'? Can the hardened skin of the apprentice level resist bullets?'
With such doubts in her mind, Dorothy began to control the corpse puppets at the distant scene to scratch open the clothes of the person she shot. She checked the other party's wound and found that the skin where the other party was hit by the bullet was cracked like a spider web, and blood oozed out of the cracks.
She had seen this type of wound before. The two Deer Skeleton Masters under Igwinter had similar wounds after being shot. But the problem was that those two Deer Skeleton Masters had hardened skin of the Black Earth Stage.
Dorothy started shooting after she saw that the opponent was a Wallbreaker, thinking that the opponent's apprentice's hardened skin should not be able to block the bullet, but she didn't expect that the opponent not only blocked it, but also ran away. If he hadn't come back to save his teammates and created another opportunity for Dorothy, he would have escaped.
All in all, the unusual hardness and resistance to electric shock of these two wall dwellers caused Dorothy's plan to change, and she ended up wasting some spiritual power in vain.
After Brandon's hand was cut off, Dorothy used the ability of damage transfer to transfer Brandon's injury to other zombies that did not participate in the battle, so that Brandon could maintain the pressure on the thin man. However, the price was that Dorothy used a few more "cup" spiritual energy, which was unnecessary to waste, all because Dorothy misjudged the strength of the two wall puppets' abilities.
"Anyway, I can be sure that the watch shop sold me the items with the Dao Marking Symbols in order to cheat me. They marked the products to locate the customers, and then stun the customers, collect money, or even kidnap people? ... Can the people of the White Stonemasonry do this? It's fine for these guys to collect money, but why do they kidnap people?"
Dorothy thought so in her heart, and then she focused her attention on the "Wenhai Navigation Journal" on the table beside her. She had already reported to Beverly through the "Wenhai Navigation Journal" during the day about the possible problems with the base of the Troyes White Masons. Before leaving Tivian, she also left a contact text for her good neighbor, but the other party did not respond for a long time the first time she used it.
Unlike Vanya and the others, it was impossible for Dorothy to leave a puppet mark on Beverly, so she couldn't actually remind the other party to receive the message. Therefore, after Dorothy sent the message, she could only wait for the other party to see it and reply. Since she had waited for an entire afternoon without seeing any response from Beverly, Dorothy set up a simple plan to deal with any possible situation.
The house where Brandon was located was a seaside villa that Dorothy had specially found in the suburbs of Troyes. It was an uninhabited one because the owner was away. After Dorothy found a way to get in, she let Brandon live in it as his own home, waiting to see what the sign on the secret message would attract at night. Unexpectedly, it actually attracted two strangers in the end.
"The stubborn wall-crawler, the White Stonemason's base that has some problems, the customers are being targeted... I feel like this is a fight with the 'stone'... I have to contact Beverly to find out what's going on. I wonder if she has the habit of checking the books I send her every day..."
While Dorothy was controlling the corpses in the distance to clean up the battlefield, she began to open her "Wenhai Hangzhi" to check. On Beverly's contact page, Dorothy had already written to the other party about all the abnormal conditions that she had observed in the watch shop during the day, and now she was waiting for a response.
As Dorothy was looking at the pages of the book, wondering when Beverly would reply to her letter, new words suddenly appeared on the blank pages, a series of standard printed words that looked like they were typed on a typewriter.
This was Beverly's response. Dorothy had been waiting for half a day and finally got it. Looking at the words that kept appearing on the white paper in front of her, she immediately perked up and started reading.
"Evening, dear neighbor, I hope I am not too late to reply to your message. I check this thing you gave me almost every three days. I hope the messages you gave me are not from three days ago.
"First of all, I wish you a pleasant stay in Castile. I have seen your experience in Troyes. I am sorry that you bought a product that did not conform to the rules in our Craftsmen's Association. If that thing was really sold to you by the Craftsmen's Association, you can apply for a large amount of compensation. But I think the one who made the deal with you was not the Craftsmen's Association, but another group of dirty, despicable and unscrupulous guys...
"Their name is 'Dark Gold Society'... From your description, our poor Troyes branch may have been secretly infiltrated, devoured, and replaced by this group of guys. They should be using our name to harvest the local secret world in Troyes, just like they did in other places in the past.
"Maybe you are a little unfamiliar with this 'Dark Gold Society', Miss Neighbor. You only need to remember one key point about it. This so-called Dark Gold Society is one of the few mortal enemies in the eyes of our so-called neutral Craftsmen's Society. They are the so-called 'merchants' that are spread all over the secret world."
