Chapter 796: Chapter 633: Where Did the Demonic Puppet Go?
At this moment, the Tata War God was surrounded and beaten by the Peace Elite Team of Oak City, in an inside-out three-layered formation. The batons had strength, the hits had precision, the rhythm had density, and the broadcast had heat. Although there was endless humiliation and helplessness, at least he could enjoy top global traffic.
But after seeing the in-chat rockets and the bloodthirsty frenzy instantly ignited among the live audience, Tata was instantly scared out of his wits!
If he were really to be beaten into paralysis and end up like Chun, not to mention his rank as the world’s 12th might not survive, his professional career would also be thrashed by batons.
Pleading with these thugs was useless. There was no time to privately contact the Ten Lords, so he could only announce the secret live to the global audience!
Tata made a snap decision: "Please stop hitting me, I’ll tell you, it was the Crow Master who sent me to catch a demonic puppet claiming to be the King of Oak City—"
Sure enough, the Ten Lords, who were gleefully watching the broadcast chat, suddenly froze.
Michael instantly reacted, "Shut down the broadcast room!"
"Received!"
With the shutdown of the live broadcast, Michael continued to order, "Gabriel, have your captain privately interrogate him! If he doesn’t finish in 30 seconds, keep hitting. Immediately pull up the surveillance on the bell tower and see if there was any demonic puppet during the fight, order the NPC guards to seal off the square..."
Gabriel: "The guards have already sealed off the entire area..."
At this time, the troops still surrounded Tata inside-out in three layers. The captain squeezed in front of Tata and warned in a deep voice: "Finish in 30 seconds!"
Thirty seconds is an interrogation technique that doesn’t give time to concoct lies; if you can say it fluently in one breath, it’s usually the truth.
The Tata War God spoke very fluently: "I discovered a demonic puppet claiming to be the King of Oak City in the Evil God Secret Cave, wanting to make the Crow Master its subordinate. The Crow Master then gave me a Storm Crow to teach it a lesson, so that’s why the Storm Crow was deployed just now. All this is beyond my control, I also don’t know why I’m here at the bell tower..."
He confessed, but the critical secret about the Divine Artifact roots and him being controlled by strings was not disclosed.
At the same time, the bell tower revealed its devastated state after the explosion as the flames dissipated.
Gabriel couldn’t smile anymore.
The subordinates also mobilized smart scans to pull up the surveillance frame by frame in slow motion: "Madam, the bombing just blasted out 546 parts and building debris, with 4 large parts among them—"
Gabriel got anxious, "Find the location of the large debris!"
"The locations are..."
Each time a location was reported, the Four Lords floating above the Great Bell Tower immediately located the components. Three were found, all windows frames or similar construction material.
There was still one last piece missing, and there was no trajectory of it landing on the surveillance.
The footage was further slowed down to the lowest frame for focused analysis.
Sariel said in a deep voice, "If the demonic puppet was blasted into pieces and can’t be found, it would be fine, but for such a large piece to also be missing, it suggests that was the demonic puppet! It took advantage of the chaos and bombing to escape."
Michael was puzzled: "It seems like it changed direction mid-air and then vanished. Like what?"
Sela said, "Demonic puppets usually have strings, it feels like someone yanked at its strings, pulling it away—it might have accomplices providing support, or it could have been taken by a nearby strong person."
Raphael said, "Then the Crow Master must be lurking among the crowd?"
Gabriel said in a deep voice: "It seems Curry has hidden quite a few secrets, continue hitting!"
Just then, the butler reported, "Madam, the manager of the Tata Battle Team is on the line!"
Gabriel grumbled impatiently, "Let Tata disclose intelligence first!"
Michael chuckled, "Don’t! Gabriel, this is where you’re handling it wrong; after all, the Tata Battle Team is our commercial client, you need to take the call, pretend you’re out walking your dog after dinner or something, completely unaware of the game’s situation, first ask the subordinate troops, let them deal with everything on their own discretion."
Gabriel was taken aback: "But I’m in my True Angel True Body floating over the tower, everyone knows I’m playing the game!"
Michael calmly replied, "That’s the Angel’s automatic defense mechanism, it has nothing to do with you."
Pu!!
Sariel burst into laughter, "Do we even have such a mechanism?"
Michael laughed, "There could be!"
Gabriel laughed, "All right, all right, I’ll first gather my emotions, and pretend to know nothing..."
...
Finally, under the manager’s apologies and mediation, Tata was forgiven and was first taken to a roadside clinic for emergency care.
Tata’s phone buzzed, it was a message from Alpha.
Tata immediately logged into the dark web, Alpha was the first to ask, "What’s the situation?"
Tata explained, "...I didn’t reveal that I was controlled by the demonic puppet’s strings, nor about the Divine Tree Root, just said that the demonic puppet was born from the furniture mountain inside the secret cave, and it has no accomplices. Their main interest instead shifted towards the furniture mountain."
Alpha asked, "Can you contact the demonic puppet?"
Tata sighed, "I haven’t been able to contact it since being covered by the Crow Domain, but the strings are still there. Both I and they suspect the Crow Master secretly took it. Soon they’ll arrange a wheelchair for me, and push me to find the Crow Master."
Alpha said, "Good, you’ve hidden the two most important pieces of intelligence. Actually, a large part of the Divine Tree Root is buried underground, and even if the demonic puppet used a saw to change its body, that’s just the small part exposed above ground; it hasn’t gained the full divine power, its final inclination will eventually return to the Divine Tomb."
Tata felt reassured, "So it’s true that it said it wanted to build the Divine Tomb into a palace!"
Alpha continued, "As for finding the Crow Master, I’m sure he can’t be found. With the loss of the summoned clone Storm Crow and indirectly causing the destruction of the bell tower, he must be hiding. But with the strings still intact, you’re the only one who can contact the Crow Master; utilize these layers of relationships carefully."
Tata immediately understood, "The Crow Master has already been accused of the Blue Grey Village surveillance destruction, and now the additional charge of destroying the bell tower. He might eventually yield to join us!"
Alpha: "In any case, proceed with caution. Our final battle is at the Bronze City Divine Tomb, we will go all out in that fight, coupled with the strength of the demonic puppet, there’s a great chance."
"Understood!"
...
Meanwhile, Chun didn’t waste his time waiting for Nancy and Aziza’s arrival.
After all, Pinocchio was possessed, which only he could solve, so he called Mina ahead of time.
This meant having Mina quietly roll along the inside of his vines, avoiding any large movements that might disturb the Guardian God’s seal, nor alert the various unknown powerful entities along the way.
And this crawling process felt like an endless urge to urinate, truly indescribable.
Thankfully, as she crawled over, two cloaked figures appeared at the entrance.
Chun took a look, one tall, one short, and the short one was carrying a suitcase, exactly as expected.
But as the light illuminated their faces, Chun was struck—those faces covered in pustules!
Is this makeup effects or what?
