Chapter 308 The Puppet Behind the Scenes
(It's snowing outside, so happy~(*^▽^*))
--------
The distorted laughter rang out again, but this time no one listened carefully.
Upon hearing the phrase "art is an explosion," the two captains' expressions changed drastically, and they roared for the others to evacuate.
You'll understand what this sentence means just by listening to it.
Although there are many people here who possess extraordinary abilities, no one knows how many explosives there are, or what kind they are.
In short, just run.
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOM——!”
The wooden puppet sitting in the chair, the colorful ribbons on the ground, the cloth and playing cards hanging on the tree, and the flowers hidden in the bushes all exploded at this moment, blooming into violent bursts of flames.
Art is an explosion!
"All units defend! Formation: Vajra Barrier!"
"Anywhere Domain!"
"Spell Sequence - Portal!"
"man of Steel!"
"Group fire resistance!"
......
A variety of extraordinary abilities were used. As one of the top-ranked teams in the Yuehua City Bureau, their teamwork and timely reactions meant that the sudden explosion only left them somewhat disheveled, with only a few support personnel who were close to the blast suffering some injuries.
"Report: No signs of life have been found nearby."
"Report: No signs of paranormal activity have been found in the vicinity."
"Report......"
With each report, the two captains' faces darkened.
There were no other signs, only a set of very ordinary footprints, and the source of the footprints was the puppet that had just been used as a human bomb.
As the prosecutors reported, the male captain subconsciously clenched his fists.
Upon examination, the person was found to be neither a puppet nor any other creature, but a sailfish.
The sailfish's body was already charred black, and its face was blown to pieces. It is speculated that the explosives were its mask and clothing.
"Can you manipulate other people's power...? Damn it!"
"We found Sailfish's binoculars and knife, as well as drag marks, at the location where he lost contact. The binoculars were switched to an infrared system, and the knife's blade was corroded by an unknown liquid. We were prepared for this, but we didn't expect him to be able to manipulate Sailfish's body to lure us here. How's the investigation of the other explosives going?"
"Nothing was found, not a trace was left, just like the mask and clothing on a sailfish."
"Spells, or abilities..."
(Actually, the Killer Queen has touched all of these things!)
"Let's report first."
"Ah."
------
"Hehe, hehehehehehehehehehehehe! Spasashi, it really is Spasashi! This ability is really getting me so excited! Stands are just so awesome!"
The clown sat on the roof of an abandoned factory, laughing maniacally at the empty space ahead.
Yes, that's right, it's the Joker, and also the power of the Stand of Moon Guardian Dōman.
An unknown arrow traversed the barrier of distance, transforming into an alien substance that filled his body and soul.
This arrow is not that arrow.
This is a tool held by the unnamed one, whose very essence is already in chaos.
"A double—a puppet behind the scenes."
As the master called, the puppeteer, clad in an eerie purple-red robe, appeared behind his master, his delicate fingers twitching slightly in the air, playing a melody known only to himself.
Logically speaking, the Stand activated by someone like Motokami Dōmō should be something like "The Lonely Observer" or "The Invisible Eye".
However, seemingly due to the influence of some unnamed being, or perhaps the influence of the clown mask, his spirit and will underwent an unknown distortion, as did his Stand, which was closely connected to its master.
The puppet's ability was given a rather tasteless name by Tsukishiro Doman.
"Behind the Scenes"
This ability has a very special feature: if the being manipulated is a living being, then the more Tsukishiro Dōman observes him, the stronger his control over the "threads" becomes.
Moreover, even if a puppet suffers severe damage or even dies, as long as the "strings" are still there, its body can still be manipulated, and its soul can still be controlled by the puppeteer.
Even in death, you cannot escape my control!
You will always be my prop.
That's right. If a puppet possesses extraordinary abilities, the puppet master behind the scenes can manipulate it to activate those abilities.
Currently, Tsukishiro Dōman can only manipulate one person who hasn't been observed much.
"Ah~, I don't know if this counts as a performance, but just to be on the safe side... wait, aren't those guys that player? Why are they being chased?"
Watching the players panting as they ran into the abandoned factory, and the gangsters chasing after them, the clown's smile widened, as if he had seen something incredibly amusing.
------
The blind student felt like he had really messed up today.
That night, he led his group to a gang to make a deal and buy a batch of weapons.
He didn't call Wu Dou, the policeman, because this kind of transaction was illegal, and it wouldn't be good if the gang saw it.
But, but——
Is this lousy system deliberately setting a trap for me to fall into?
Why did a bunch of people rush in and start shooting indiscriminately as soon as I led my team in? My partner, whom I had finally managed to build a relationship with, was instantly killed with a headshot! What was the point of all those missions I did?!
I finally managed to escape during a gang shootout, but before I got far, I saw a group of people dressed exactly like the ones who were randomly firing their guns chasing after me and shooting at me. I almost got shot in the balls! My skin was even chafed raw!
This time, it really gave the blind student a fright.
What followed was a tremendous and raging rage.
Can't stand it!
No man can tolerate this!
Except for eunuchs!
The enraged blind student pulled out a golden Desert Eagle and started firing at them.
Golden Desert/Eagle +4
Firearms - Handguns
Noble Gold: The appearance of this gun will make knowledgeable people recognize your prestige. When shooting at you, the recoil of guns with lower production costs will be increased compared to the normal recoil of the Desert/Eagle.
Modified Weapon: This gun has been modified, with increased magazine capacity, reduced recoil and reload speed, and added heat resistance to the muzzle.
Golden Shot: Condenses 9 bullets into a single Supreme Golden Bullet, possessing immense destructive power.
Chapter 309 The Blind Student: What Kind of Bad Luck Am I Having?
"Bang bang bang-"
"Bang—bang—bang"
"Ah—my hand!"
"What's going on? Why is the recoil of this gun so strong?"
"It hurts so much!"
After the pursuers fired their shots, the terrifying recoil dislocated their arms and caused excruciating pain in their shoulders, almost making them scream in agony.
At that moment, three bullets carrying the grudge of nearly exploding balls came flying over, smashing two people's heads, and then grazing the ear of another person who reacted faster, giving him a fright.
"Tch, you're lucky you dodged it."
The blind student hid behind a corner and stopped firing, giving his arm time to recover.
Even though the gun has been modified to reduce recoil, the Desert Eagle's base recoil is still too high, and even a slight reduction would hardly allow it to fire continuously.
"Blind student, hurry! They are calling for reinforcements."
Rosen, who was standing nearby, carefully observed the pursuers and found that they had also retreated behind cover. He could faintly hear words like "support" and "hurry up."
"FUCK! Call Wu Dou right now and tell him to come here quickly. Oh, and tell him he ran into a gang fight while on patrol. Don't mention us, or we'll all end up in jail."
"So, where do we go now?"
Clutching a pistol he'd picked up from a corpse in the chaos, the man asked in a flustered manner.
The scene of the shootout between the two gangs had really startled him.
Bullets flew everywhere, his vision filled with splattered blood and debris. Roars, gunshots, and screams roared in his ears and brain, leaving him completely stunned.
If Rosen hadn't dragged him off the ground, he probably would have been shot dead by some stray bullet that came out of nowhere.
I am so surprised!
"Go where there are lots of people, I don't believe they would dare to fire in front of the public."
"Wait, it looks like someone else is coming over there. They seem to be with that group."
Rosen carefully looked down the streets of the downtown area, and his excellent eyesight allowed him to spot several furtive figures.
Their clothing seemed to match that of their pursuers.
"What? Shit. The road is blocked. We have to take a huge detour. This way."
Upon hearing Rosen's words, the blind student cursed again and led a few others to run in another direction.
"Why are they chasing us? We're just a group of people passing by."
With a mournful face, Brother Shuai followed the blind student as they ran wildly.
"How would I know... There's an abandoned factory up ahead, let's go in and rest for a bit."
Seeing that the handsome guy was panting heavily, the blind man decided to go to this abandoned factory to rest for a while.
If those people dare to come, this will be their burial ground.
After climbing over the wall, the group entered the factory.
"Senro, see if you can set up a few traps here."
"No problem. You want to take them out?" "Of course, I've been holding in a lot of anger all this way, and I feel like I'm going to explode if I don't vent it."
Seeing the blind student's fierce expression, Rosen had no choice but to silently cooperate.
"Brother, what's wrong with Wu Dou?"
"Ha, he said he'd be here in 5 minutes."
"Five minutes? No problem."
The blind student nodded, and was about to turn around and climb upstairs to take the high ground when he saw a familiar figure standing behind him.
Clown mask, suit, tie, politeness...
Holy crap, this is unbelievable.
What kind of rotten luck is this...?
"Oh~, look who I see? It's been so long, my darlings, I've missed you all so much."
Oh my god, that familiar tone!
