Chapter 774: Chapter 611: The Puppet Might Be a Native of the Divine Tomb
But in this situation, Chun really doesn’t know how to start.
Directly asking why use underwear as a blanket? That girl’s sister would be really shocked, how did I find her so quickly?
The consequence might be that the sisters would reconcile the accounts, and my large and small accounts relationship would be exposed!
So, better not to ask for now. I’ve contacted her in the past two hours more than the entire past week, which is quite abnormal.
Just extend a vine to her house and plant a spy eye.
Then, the perspective returns to the middle of the vine, extending a third head towards Sister Bai’s school dormitory. Of course, not just for her, but also to see what other female classmates are doing, purely out of curiosity, nothing else.
However, Sister Bai doesn’t seem clear about the school she’s studying abroad at, so a phone call is needed: "President Zhou! Sorry to bother you again."
Zhou Qing laughed: "Brother Chun is really busy, we just fear Brother Chun is not busy..."
...
Underground Oak City.
The Tata War God was stuck in the gap, immobile, obeying the silk strings’ commands, feeling like seconds were like years.
At this moment, the strings transmitted sound again, extremely excited: "Found it, my treasure!"
The Tata War God asked: "What is Your Majesty’s treasure?"
"Shut up, it’s all of it!"
Tata obediently shut his mouth, faintly hearing a discordant sawing from the strings. His target was indeed the tree root, and Tata inexplicably felt a sense of relieved loss.
But after the loss came hope; as a servant, it is only natural to expect rewards from the king.
While waiting, Tata’s phone rang again.
Tata shivered all over, picked it up, and surprisingly, it was a message from Alpha!
He wanted to ask earlier, but there was no way to contact him, unexpectedly... it must be said, usually, Alpha sends messages once a week or every few days, but only these two days were frequent, which is quite unusual.
Tata felt like a child who had found treasure but didn’t know how to handle it, excitedly and nervously logged onto the dark web to contact: "I’m here."
Alpha asked: "What’s happening over there?"
Tata was astonished, and in excitement, played a suspense: "Did you see my situation?"
Alpha was impatient: "There’s a colorful, strange silhouette singing on a piece of magic mirror furniture, and Beta heard it at the organization headquarters’ magic mirror backend, was it you?"
The so-called magic mirror furniture was a mountain of packed furniture under the Black Iron City Divine Tomb, where Alpha and Beta transmitted to the Divine Tomb through this magic mirror.
Tata immediately explained the situation and sent the previously recorded video of the conversation: "It wasn’t me, I encountered a puppet evil spirit NPC manipulating silk strings in the gap, claiming to be the King of Oak City, real name Pinocchio. He claimed to look for the King’s treasure and controlled me with strings, making me guide the route..."
Alpha was shocked on the spot: "You idiot, evil spirits easily parasitize puppets! Evil spirits have no credit at all! Silk string puppets are hard to control people unless you fully cooperate and don’t resist them!"
Tata’s heart trembled: "But I’m stuck in the gap, I can’t fight, I have no choice!"
Alpha was furious: "Let it kill you directly then!"
Tata panicked: "Now I’m controlled by the silk strings, how do I break free?"
Alpha replied disgruntledly: "Under normal circumstances, multiple deaths to a certain number might lift it. I’ll study your video, wait for updates anytime."
"Un-understood."
At this moment, Alpha urgently contacted Beta: "Old buddy, Tata screwed up again, check out the video he sent..."
Beta was astonished: "Why did this place suddenly appear a puppet, did it follow Tata in?"
Alpha said solemnly: "Very likely! No, it was inevitable, high-level players are laying out a plan!"
Beta said: "So, the sudden news of treasure hunting in Oak City, publishing this map information, was to let this puppet take action?"
Alpha said: "It’s obvious."
Beta nodded: "Indeed, it’s obvious. If these news and maps were published by Gabriel, then she’s the one behind the layout."
The two fell silent for a moment.
They remained silent for a minute.
Finally, Beta spoke: "Isn’t this too obvious?"
Alpha apparently felt uneasy: "Obvious?"
Beta said: "Isn’t it? The release of this map seems deliberately for us, only we can understand it. It seems to assume that we will definitely act, and will definitely arrange Tata to go, so Sariel generously provided a million-level transmission ceremony, allowing Gabriel to arrange for the puppet to successfully follow Tata."
Alpha said solemnly: "However, we actually didn’t have to arrange Tata to go..."
Beta sighed: "Just because it’s too obvious, it feels unreal—so is there another possibility, perhaps this puppet didn’t lie? It’s not stalking, it’s an original inhabitant of the Divine Tomb, possibly born from that pile of furniture. But you never searched those pieces of furniture, so you didn’t discover it."
Alpha’s heart skipped a beat: "What if this possibility is true?"
Beta brightened up: "If this possibility is true, then we can infer, how would Gabriel have this kind of evil spirit? Under what circumstances could such an evil spirit be born?"
Alpha said: "The dense resentment of the Divine Tomb could undoubtedly birth it. Similar places in Oak City... can’t think of any for now."
Beta said: "So, the other possibility is, the Evil God is gone, the puppet has lost its threat, so it ran out of the hiding furniture pile, maybe it’s strong enough to trigger monitoring fluctuations like the Guardian God, allowing Gabriel to get the quest, so she released the map and spread the information, trying to let players run as free labor."
Alpha was intrigued: "Very logical!"
Beta said: "So, if that’s the case, we shouldn’t let Tata escape it, we should have him serve it to probe its strength—a puppet claiming to be the King of Oak City is certainly not an ordinary puppet, might have been a toy of a certain royal family member or a certain City Lord when young, hence having vision and charisma."
Alpha sighed: "Makes sense, if necessary, we can also transmit out from the magic mirror in those pieces of furniture, and communicate directly with him..."
The next moment, with a nervous heart, Tata received Alpha’s message again.
Tata immediately logged in to contact.
Alpha instructed: "There are two situations, one is you were tracked by Gabriel’s layout. The second is, this puppet is the original inhabitant here, and we’ve decided to go with the second route; fully serve the puppet and see if its strength is worth our investment."
Tata breathed a sigh of relief: "Understood!"
