Half a day?
But I was about to be controlled into the pond, and I couldn’t survive for even half a minute...
Lin Chen felt pain in his heart, and silently said in his mind: "Brother Qi, I Parasitized by puppet threads..."
He concisely recounted what happened after the connection between consciousness was disconnected, like a drowning man grabbing the broken rope hanging from the shore.
Qisi stood crookedly at the top of the stairs, listening quietly and patiently.
After listening to Lin Chen's description before, he suspected that the female teacher's identity and background were not simple.
So, before the third phone call, he deliberately buried a hole in the prepared rhetoric.
He taught Lin Chen to say "a red frog suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the pond" instead of asking him to peel the frog's skin directly. People who are interested can easily detect that this lie is superfluous, unless it is Want to hide something else.
For an egoist, a small suspicion is enough to kill him.
Qisi was willing to lead Lin Chen and the female teacher into a life-and-death situation, so that whether the female teacher killed Lin Chen or Lin Chen killed the female teacher, it would be a big trouble for him.
If it is the former, although it is a pity that a useful tool man dies, at least there is one less person in the world who knows his real name, which eliminates some risks of exposing his true identity.
If it is the latter, and Lin Chen, who has never killed anyone, has his hands stained with blood, Qisi is confident that he will break his inner defenses and plunge him into a state of self-loathing. No matter how bad it is, it can be regarded as holding a handle that can drag people into the mud.
Of course, it now seems that the situation has exceeded expectations.
The female teacher is Xiela’s puppet. If Lin Chen cannot get rid of the puppet silk before leaving the dungeon, he will become a member of the puppet.
Qisi knew that Lin Chen was now in a desperate situation and could only turn to him for help. It would be easier for him to control everything about Lin Chen.
But the premise is that he must find a way to wrest control of Lin Chen from the puppet master.
There are very few records about the puppet master in the forum, and most of them are invalid information such as "There is a puppet in the xx copy" and "The puppet master is suspected of having obtained xx props". There is no information. Clearly pointed out how to get rid of his control...
Zis actually saw someone writing a far-fetched little paper on the subject of him getting rid of the puppet master's control, which was mostly speculating on his skills and the puppet master's. They all belong to the behind-the-scenes control category and have higher priority and level, so there is room for operation.
But Qisi knew that this was not the case, it was just because the puppet silk was wrapped around the finger bones of the evil god.
However, if the priority of skills really matters, which level is higher, soul contract or puppet silk?
The soul contract is the embodiment of the authority of the evil god contract, and the puppet silk is a complete skill with a 100% success rate after countless evolutions...
It's really hard to say.
"You can still control your thoughts and consciousness now, right?" Qis asked.
Lin Chen said with some uncertainty: "Probably...she doesn't seem to know that we can communicate, and she hasn't stopped me until now. But I always suspect that she may have the ability to read minds..."
If you don't stop it, you may just want to fish for law enforcement, but it is useless to consider this situation, it is better not to consider it.
Qisi said calmly: "Lin Chen, don't panic, calm down and listen to me."
"According to my understanding and experience, the only way to complete deep parasitism is to let the newly parasitized puppet leave the copy and complete the deep parasitism." Only a master can fully control the puppet's thoughts and read their memories."
"Now she shows that she can see your thoughts. It's just a psychological ability, deliberately showing it to you so as to treat you. It's a deterrent. And this just shows that she doesn't have strong control over you, otherwise there is no need to do anything."
After listening to Qisi's analysis, Lin Chen gradually calmed down, and the waves in the ocean of thoughts surged. Slowly settling, allowing for rational weighing and thinking.
If memories and thoughts can be read and controlled in one encounter, then it is already a god’s ability. If the puppet master is so terrible, why would he let Xi La be suppressed by Kyushu and Tingfeng? Below?
Ziss continued: "I don't know how to get rid of the puppet thread. But I can tell you that in the copy of "Hopeless Sea", I was once parasitized by the puppet thread, and then I got rid of the control by chance. "
Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat as he thought of a rumor he had heard before, and asked: "Qi... Brother Qi, is that 'Si Qi' mentioned on the forum? "
Zis did not deny: "I found that the operating conditions of the puppet silk are more stringent than many people on the forum thought, and the puppet master himself is not as invincible as imagined."
"As for how to get rid of the puppet I have a plan on hand that may be effective, but I'm not sure it will succeed. Once it fails, real death may be waiting for you."
"I remember you told me that your plan will be successful. Your parents only have one child, and you hope to survive. Are you willing to risk your life this time?”
Lin Chen nodded crazily in his conscious space: "No problem! If I want to be a puppet to harm people in the future, my parents will be very disappointed if they find out. I might as well die here..."
He I thought that Qiss would tell you the solution immediately, but he sighed quietly: "The plan I am going to talk about next, even if it succeeds, will not allow you to be free in the true sense, but will only control you." The puppet master has been replaced by me."
"Your soul will be under my control, your experience will be known to me, and your behavior will be watched by me, although I will not respond. But as long as I think about it, a thought can determine your life or death."
"Do you accept this future?"
Lin Chen was silent.
No one is willing to give everything to another person to control, even if they have been saved.
Even if Zeiss promised that he would not use the control authority, it was still like a sword of Damocles hanging above his head.
The feeling of being in control of life and death is not pleasant, but what if it is compared to being controlled by a puppet master?
The lesser of two evils, if Lin Chen really wanted to be controlled by one person, Lin Chen would rather choose Qisi.
After all, although Zis loves to tell hell jokes, loves to scare people, and can plan to kill people, his conscience is still intact. He can save people with a little effort, and killing people is only forced by circumstances and unavoidable.
After all, they are kinder than those mass murdering lunatics from the Silas Guild.
Thinking only occupied less than half a second in the conscious space. Lin Chen said: "I accept it."
Qisi said lightly: "I am not a good person, maybe I can still You can call me a 'scumbag', I have killed many people, and I have also killed people with my own hands. Are you sure you want to give your soul to me?"
The frank words make people subconsciously believe them. sincerity.
Lin Chen had already made a decision and said without hesitation: "I'm sure."
Qiss smiled, with one corner of his lips slightly raised, showing a hint of pity: "I remember you have a prop called [A Small Note from Top Students], can you use it now?"
[Name: Small Note from Top Students]
[Effect: Ask it a sincere question, and the correct answer to the question may be written on it~ (Each copy can only be used once, success rate 50%)]
Lin Chen glanced at the prop bar: "Yes, my props have not been blocked by the puppet master, but it seems that the effect can only be activated in the prop bar. No longer under my control."
"That's enough," Qisi said, "Now you ask it, what are the three lines of god's name prayed to Qisi."
Lin Chen's eyes widened: "God's name? Brother Qi, what's your situation now? And...can you really ask two questions at once?" "First of all, there is only one question mark, it is the same question." Qisi Skip the previous topic and explain patiently, "Also, it doesn't say you can't ask two answers, does it?"
...Okay.
Although he didn’t understand what Qis was going to do, Lin Chen still doubtfully muttered in his heart: “Activate the effect of [The Top Student’s Note] and ask: The three lines of the name of God praying to Qis and my What’s the name?”
The note in the toolbar trembled violently, like a slug struggling violently under the grip of some invisible thing.
But no matter how hard it struggled, the black writing was still written on the white paper like a curse.
【The Scarlet Lord who has traveled through infinite time and space. 】
【The new soul master who holds the power of the contract. 】
【The only existence that shuttles between reality and illusion. 】
【Lin Chen】
The two answers combined looked like a contract hastily signed with the names of both parties.
Reciting the gods completely has the meaning of trading souls and believing in evil gods. The black and white words further strengthen the bonds and ties.
Lin Chen saw a bunch of bloody vines hanging from the sky, pulling at the corners of his soul, causing ripple-like resonance.
The angry text on the system interface pops up quickly like a fault display.
[The ineffable great being glanced at you, and your prop "the top student's note" changed]
[Name: A note from the top student]
[Effect: You can ask it a question in each copy, and there is a 50% probability of getting a correct answer! (Note: You can only get one answer)]
Chis smiled and said: "It seems that you are lucky, the first step with a 50% probability has been successful."
He Scarlet light flowed in his eyes, and two golden ten-sided dice were thrown from the void into front of his eyes: "Next, I have to bet on a 26% success rate. Do you still have your skill [Pilgrim's Prayer]?"
“Yes.” Lin Chen said, “I haven’t used it yet.”
[Name: Pilgrim's Prayer]
[Type: Skill]
[Passive effect: With devout faith, you are luckier than ordinary people. If you choose one of the four, you have a half chance of getting it right. , when encountering a fatal crisis, there is a probability of saving the day]
[Active effect: pray for any existence in the dungeon, and slightly improve its luck in the dungeon (limited to one use per dungeon)]
Qis said: "Lin Chen, pray for me."
Any slight increase in probability may be the last weight that shakes the balance. At the moment when the victory is decided, there is only the difference between 100% and 0%.
The tiger and the rabbit also try their best. This is what the puppet master said in the Hopeless Sea, and Qisi deeply believes it.
Even if the originally extremely sluggish luck has been slightly improved, it may not help, but so what?
Anyway, this is the only way at present, and we have done everything we can.
The milky white shimmer seeps through the black space, surrounding Qisi like fireflies in summer. It is as white as clouds and as light as wind, lingering around the body one by one, sinking into the air. body surface.
The white light and red light intertwined and merged into a faint crimson. Two golden afterimages rotated rapidly in front of the eyes, and fell to the ground at a certain moment, making a hallucinatory "ding" sound.
In an instant, the light died out, and only the numbers on the golden die could be seen in the darkness.
Two 9s, 99, greater than 74, success!
"As far as I know, you have entered the Kyushu Guild's sight. Within a month, they will extend an olive branch to you."
Green Frog Hospital, beside the pond, female The teacher's light gray eyes looked at Lin Chen emotionlessly through gold-rimmed glasses: "Because of Fu Jue's incident, there will be a lot of internal chaos and a lot of personnel changes. During this period, the newcomers will be replaced Easily obtain resource tilt and promotion qualifications”
So, you don’t want me to join the Kyushu Guild as an undercover agent, right?
Lin Chen was speculating in confusion, his face pursed in silence, like a dead corpse.
The female teacher suddenly smiled, with a hint of seriousness in her eyes: "Lin Chen, I am very interested in you. Although survival is the primary goal, she always gives up survival for various inexplicable reasons. The choice with the highest probability.”
“Actually, you don’t have to be so resistant to becoming my puppet. I don’t have the energy to control every puppet’s thoughts and behavioral choices. As a biological human being, I process too much information at the same time. It will drive me crazy."
"As long as you are willing to obey my orders at certain critical times and not do anything that harms Xi La's interests, I can promise you the maximum freedom. Save people, or even execute some useless trash to satisfy your sense of heroism and justice.”
The female teacher bent down slightly and approached Lin Chen. The cold smile on her face was more sweet and seductive: "I will not interfere with your behavior. When my eyes are not on you, you can be yourself. . I have many puppets that you can use or not. After today’s separation, I may not control you even once.”
Why do you need my consent? Don’t you already control me?
While Lin Chen asked Qisi for help through his consciousness, he was puzzled. A sentence that Qisi said popped up in his mind without any warning: 'The puppet master himself is not as incredible as he thought. win. ’
All the clues were arranged in front of my eyes, and it suddenly became clear.
Yes, the puppet master has fought against Zeiss and knows that Zeiss has a way to escape his control.
Ziss did not change his voice during the phone call. The puppet master knew that Ziss was also in this copy, and suspected that he and Ziss had other ways of contacting him.
So, on the one hand, the puppet master is worried that he will break free from control, and on the other hand, he hopes to instigate him through words...
In the face of absolute power, no one will talk nonsense; since he chooses to use words Technique, it shows that the power is not enough for him to get everything he wants.
Lin Chen felt calmer than ever.
In the consciousness space, the golden dice jingled.
On the system interface, a line of silver-white text refreshed.
[The soul contract has been signed. This contract is guaranteed by the rules of the world and cannot be violated by any existence]
The skills of the same origin have won the game of probability ratio, with higher authority. Replaces the position of the original skill.
The silk threads wrapped around his body collapsed in an instant. Lin Chen took out the [Umbrella Full of Pain] from the toolbar and waved it past, standing between him and the female teacher.
The shadow growing under the open black umbrella turned into a huge thing in a second, wrapping Lin Chen airtightly like a curtain.
[Effect 1: Summon the shadow ghost "The Man in the Umbrella" for 30 seconds. Each summon must kill one being (cooling time 24 hours)]
Countless tentacles grow from the shadow, overwhelming the female teacher Rushing in the direction... (End of this chapter)
