Chapter 1022 Demonic Puppet Master
It is very difficult to communicate in the Maze of Lies because the Silencing Master has used silencing magic on most people. Normally, you can communicate through handwritten text, but in an emergency, you can only rely on each other's reactions.
"Step back first." Gaiman didn't have time to write too many words. He only wrote three words for everyone to see, and then retreated towards the gate.
Obviously Gaiman and his team didn't know what was going to appear. They had only explored the parts related to the witch's castle before, and had not fully explored the entire maze of lies, nor had they seen all the dimensional creatures.
Zhou Wen, however, explored the entire maze and had seen almost all the dimensional creatures inside.
Although he had never seen the three-headed wolf's corpse explode, he could probably guess the identities of the incoming dimensional creatures by listening to the sounds.
"If that thing really comes, those people whose bodies are stained with the blood of three wolves will probably be in trouble." Zhou Wen glanced around and quickly determined who the people who were stained with the blood of three wolves were.
Wang Lu was beside Zhou Wen and was not stained with wolf blood. Seeing that Lan Shi was also not stained with wolf blood, he felt relieved.
But there were seventeen people in total, and nine of them were covered in wolf blood. Zhou Wen couldn't help but frown slightly: "The three-headed wolf's self-destruction was really timely, right in the middle of everyone. Could it be that it was here to die?"
Thinking of this possibility, Zhou Wen felt somewhat suspicious. If the three-headed wolf really came to die on its own, then the maze of lies in reality would be much more terrifying than the one in the game.
The dimensional creatures in the game are all in their respective territories, and they will only come out when they are touched.
The three-headed wolf in reality came here by itself and infected so many people with its wolf blood. This was paving the way for the appearance of another dimensional creature.
When everyone retreated to the front door, they formed a battle formation with their backs to the exit. The companion pets were also ready for battle, their eyes all looking in the direction where the strange sound came from.
Soon, everyone saw blood-colored puppets appearing everywhere. They looked like humans, were very well made, and were wearing clothes.
But at their joints, there are thin filaments extending into the distance.
"It's indeed the devil puppeteer." When Zhou Wen saw those puppets, he knew that his guess was correct.
However, in the game, the demon puppeteer is in the puppet house and will not run out on his own.
Now he actually ran out, and those people have been stained with the blood of the three-headed wolf, which just fits the skill of the demon puppeteer. In a while, I am afraid that those who have been stained with the wolf's blood will become puppets.
Of course, this is just Zhou Wen's guess.
If the demon puppeteer had tampered with the three-headed wolf in advance, then the blood could be used by him. If he had not done anything in advance, then the blood of the three-headed wolf would have no effect.
Gaiman and the others ordered their companion pets to attack the puppets, but the next second, someone's expression became extremely terrified.
I saw that those people whose bodies were stained with wolf blood had strange filaments on their bodies. Those filaments were like puppets, extending into the depths of the maze.
The people and their companion pets who had thin threads on their bodies were no longer under their control. They seemed to be controlled by the strings and pounced on their companions.
Such a sudden change was beyond everyone's expectations, and everything was in chaos for a while.
Before the Witch of Fate saw it, their own people started fighting.
The puppets also rushed up to join the battle, and the scene became extremely chaotic.
Gaiman wanted to cut the thin threads on those people to see if he could save them, but unfortunately their weapons cut through the thin threads. The threads were like flowing water, and the weapons cut through them but the threads did not break.
Zhou Wen knew this would be the result, so he pulled Wang Lu back a distance, waiting for the demon puppeteer to appear.
It is useless to kill these puppets. The puppeteer has almost countless puppets, and it is useless to consume them. You must wait until the puppeteer comes out and kill him directly.
Gaiman and others obviously realized the problem. They also wanted to find the dimensional creatures that controlled these puppets, and some even rushed along the filaments.
In Zhou Wen's opinion, these were all futile actions. The puppeteer, like the demon baby, was very good at hiding himself and liked to kill people in secret. It would be impossible to find him by following the clues, and it would only put himself in danger.
Sure enough, after the man rushed over with his companion pet, he soon disappeared without a trace, and no one saw him alive or dead.
"Let's rush along the string together." Gaiman wrote a few words, and then wanted to follow the string on the puppet.
The puppet dies and comes back to life, and comes back to life and dies again. It is useless to kill it a few more times. The person who controls the puppet must be dealt with.
"You are not allowed to go over there." Zhou Wen wrote on the cardboard.
He suffered such a great loss when he first met the puppeteer. He thought he could find the puppeteer by following the line, but what was waiting for him was a death trap.
"If I don't go, I'm dead. I have no choice but to go." Gaiman wrote quickly.
"According to the agreement, I have the final say. Everyone stays here and no one is allowed to go over." Zhou Wen also quickly wrote a line of words.
"Give me a reason." Gaiman stared at Zhou Wen and wrote.
"I feel that staying here is the only way to survive, going forward is a dead end," Zhou Wen wrote.
"Staying here is a dead end. Mr. Gaiman, don't worry about him. Let's rush over together and catch the guy who controlled Lao Liu and the others." A man wrote a line of words and then rushed to the other end of the thin line.
If others wanted to die, Zhou Wen had no need to stop them. After all, their life and death had little to do with him.
The others were also eager to try. Apparently, they also felt that if they continued like this, they would have no chance of getting out alive unless they killed all the people and puppets who were being manipulated by them.
"Give Zhou Wen a chance." Lan Shi rushed over while controlling her companion pet to deal with those puppets, holding up the sign in her hand.
Because communication was really inconvenient, many people wanted to say something, but they had no time to write during the battle.
Gaiman looked at the place where the previous man went, and saw that he had disappeared silently like the previous people. Finally, he gritted his teeth and ordered everyone to continue to resist the attack of the puppets and gave up the idea of chasing after him along the thin line.
But their situation was getting worse and worse, because nine people were under control, and when they fought with those nine people, it was difficult for them to kill them, which made them very passive.
In addition, a large number of puppets rushed over, making it very difficult for them to cope, and the situation became increasingly difficult.
