531 Walking Dead
Puppet had consciousness but was not in control of itself. On the surface, it looked exactly like a normal person. Even its movements and speech were normal.
However, when they were told to die, even if the puppet was afraid, they would still do as they were told.
This was the terrifying part of the Puppet Manipulation Technique.
Just imagine, a conscious person was made into a puppet and controlled against their will. That kind of fear and despair was unimaginable. It was torture worse than death.
For example, now that the puppet saw that Qin Xi and Han Shi were strangers, it wanted to escape.
However, even though the puppet subconsciously wanted to resist its master’s order, its body immediately assumed an attacking posture.
Just as Qin Xi was about to attack, Han Shi beat her to it and slashed at the puppet with his saber.
Logically speaking, with Han Shi’s late-stage Earth-rank force, it was more than enough to demolish a car. It did not take much force to deal with a puppet. One-fifth of the force was enough to make the puppet faint on the spot.
However, that was not the case. The puppet only swayed its body before stabilizing itself and was about to strike back.
Han Shi was slightly stunned. He did not know that this was a puppet thought that he had encountered a master. Just as he was about to attack again, he saw Qin Xi summon the Chain of Darkness and tie the puppet up, wrapping it into a mummy, revealing only a pair of lifeless black eyes and nose.
“What’s going on? I don’t feel any energy fluctuations from her body. Why can she withstand a strike from me?”
A second ago, Han Shi was very puzzled, but the next second, he understood and asked in surprise, “Could she be”
Qin Xi nodded and sized up the puppet’s eyes. “This is a puppet, a walking dead with consciousness.”
Han Shi gasped and said in shock, “This is a puppet? But she’s no different from a normal person”
“Is there no other way?” Han Shi frowned. It was not that he sympathized with these people, but he felt that this was too cruel to a person.
Qin Xi had thought of a way before she came. She formed hand seals with both hands and muttered something. Suddenly, her right hand grabbed the void and pulled out the soul of the puppet.
They did not expect this puppet soul to be a young woman. The woman was beautiful, but her eyes were hollow and empty.
Qin Xi nodded. “What’s your name?”
The woman’s eyes moved slightly, but they were still hollow and lifeless. It was as if she did not hear Qin Xi’s voice and was in a daze.
“I don’t have much time. Answer whatever I ask you now. I can set you free.”
“Set me free?”
The woman muttered, as if she was trying to understand what it meant.
“I’ll give you a chance to take revenge now. Do you want it?”
Qin Xi knew that she could hear her and continued, “I can give you back your freedom, or I can let you stay here and watch the people who once harmed you become puppets. Which one do you choose?”
