The magician in the city

Chapter 185 Puppet

Chapter 180 Three

"Cover your face." Du Zhengyi whispered.

Roach took out the outdoor scarf that he almost never took off from his trouser pocket, and put it on his face.

Du Zhengyi didn't bother to check the figures in the deserted village. Roach heard Du Zhengyi recite the oldest spell, and a string of secret words came out of his mouth.The turbulent power surged from the depths of the valley, from beyond the stars. Luo Qi tremblingly felt the surge of almost tangible power. The primitive power that had been hidden in the ground and beyond the stars since the barbaric era was summoned. come out.This power is enough to open the door of space, enough to generate all things. Roach has only touched the door of this power. He knows that Du Zhengyi has gone a long way on this road, and the secret words written in the genes make Du Zhengyi more suitable to control This mighty power.

The fire burning around the barren village soared towards the starry sky, and countless ancient flame spirits faintly appeared in the fire, and they entangled and jumped to a higher night sky.A dry and hot wind was born from the fire, and it hit Roach's face and exposed arms, like a hot wind with sand grains blowing from the desert.Roach's eyes widened in amazement. He had never seen such a magnificent and primitive magical power. He could feel the wild and restless power. He could hear shallow whispers and sing ancient languages.

In fact, he never thought that Du Zhengyi had gone so far. He knew that Du Zhengyi was a rare mage, but he suspected that only ancient mages could summon such power.At the same time, he was also terrified. Du Zhengyi was usually stingy with the use of power, and he would not use real power without a huge threat.

As soon as Du Zheng took a step forward, Roach heard thunder echoing from the depths of the earth, but at the same time he suspected that the thunder and the vibration of the valley did not exist in the dimension where human beings lived.Roach also understood that the battle must have already begun, and the chanting from the depths of the earth echoed in his brain. If there were other mages standing here, he believed they would feel the same.Such a contest is no longer a problem that his kitten tricks can solve.

Du Zhengyi was chanting a request, asking the sleeping consciousness to return to the ancient sleep. Roach didn't open the barrier of his consciousness, but he already felt the consciousness that brought him fear knocking on his door.He closed his consciousness tightly and ignored it, the stars flickered above the flames above his head, the trajectory seemed to be moving, and for a moment he suspected that he saw a strange starry sky.

Finally, a black figure slowly came out from behind the wall. The humanoid creature looked at them blankly from behind the shadow of the broken wall. Roach didn't know if he was still a human.

Du Zhengyi stopped, and also stopped chanting. Luo Qi didn't see why he had an extra dagger in his hand.

"Come out." Du Zhengyi said.

Roach realized that he understood what Du Zhengyi said. What Du Zhengyi said was not a human language, but the language of an ancient mage, which had completely degenerated into a spell that drives magic.Roach thought for a moment, when the language spoken by the mage was the command of freedom, what kind of glory the mage's world once had.

The thing came out in response, moving mechanically, Roach had imagined the appearance of the living dead, but that thing was not the same as Roach imagined, at least not as dead as described in human movies.Roach watched the thing nervously. There was nothing abnormal about its motor nerves, and the few steps it took seemed to be more standard than most people.

An idea suddenly exploded in Luo Qi's mind. Du Zhengyi called that thing a puppet, but he didn't call it a living dead, nor a zombie. It must be because the thing is not stiff at all.He felt that the puppet was more standard than most people, because it really was more standard than most people.

Ordinary people always have their own problems when walking, the most typical one is the outer horoscope and the inner horoscope. Another example is the subtle features.But the way the puppet walked was extremely smooth and stable, like a programmed robot.

Roach knows that this is the problem. The so-called robot is a humanoid machine that has lost its humanity, and a puppet is like a person who has lost all its personality.

The biggest problem, right here, is still people.

The puppet walked to the place covered by the fire, and Roach saw that it was wearing a familiar brown monk's robe. Roach opened his mouth wide in astonishment and looked up. There was a layer of light stubble growing on the puppet's head. A few days ago, it must have Still a bald head.Luo Qi seemed to have been severely beaten with a stick. He was a fake monk from Jingtu Temple, a living monk who seemed to be dead at the same time.

He looked at them, the firelight reflected in his almost unblinking eyes, as if it were the last light of his human wisdom.He looked at them silently, not afraid of the power Du Zhengyi summoned that seemed to come from hell. Ironically, before the karmic fire of hell, he looked serene as if he had finally become a righteous fruit.

Roach was about to cry out. He turned his head to look at Du Zhengyi. He also saw hesitation in Du Zhengyi's flat eyes. Sweat was dripping from the corner of his forehead, and the veins on the hand holding the knife were bulging.

A vague feeling swept over Luo Qi's consciousness, and he suddenly yelled out. The monk's hands flashed coldly, and he rushed towards Du Zhengyi at a speed that was impossible for humans to reach.Roach knew that the momentary feeling was a driving idea to attack, and the puppet always had a source of control.

Du Zhengyi reacted very quickly, and all the nerves of the puppet were stimulated to an extreme level, as if an athlete who had taken drugs to the limit had brought out the maximum potential of the human body.His strength and speed are close to the level of a mage, but he attacks blindly after all, and his fighting skills are different after all.The dagger in Du Zheng's hand was sharper than Luo Qi's imagined. He cut the monk's wrist, and cut off one of the monk's hands neatly.

Roach resisted not to cry out, but maybe the scene he saw next was more terrifying than the brutal battle.The monk's wrist was bleeding profusely, but the monk didn't react at all, as if the pain and bleeding had no effect on him, the knife in his other hand quickly stabbed at Du Zheng.

Du Zhengyi didn't hesitate anymore, a flame grew out of his left hand, and he threw it at the monk's face. Then he kicked the monk out, and pulled Roach back a few steps.

The fire Du Zhengyi set up burned more fiercely than ordinary flames. The monk's clothes burned first, and his head was covered in flames.Luo Qi smelled the disgusting smell of grilled meat, but under such circumstances, the thing was still rushing towards Du Zhengyi and Luo Qi with flames all over it.

Fortunately, Du Zhengyi had already pulled him back, and the monk finally fell down after running for a few steps. Roach suspected that it was not because of pain, exhaustion, nor fear, but just because the fire finally burned his brain. .He fell to the ground, and within minutes he was a charred corpse.

Roach understood now that all of the puppet's sense of fear and pain had been switched off, his motor nerves were amplified to the max, and the thought of attack ran through his brain.
