Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 163 Legion
Since Yang Liu had discovered where the enemy was hiding, he had no intention of hiding any longer.

Click...

The sound of wood fibers breaking came from above my head, it was the huge puppet arm tearing off the brackets that bound it.

boom!
The three-meter-tall red-dressed doll fell to the ground with a loud bang. The weight of several hundred kilograms made the old elm floor groan under the heavy load.

The gear set composed of 36 ribs in the puppet's chest began to spin wildly, and the facial features with peeling paint suddenly split into four sides as soon as they came into contact.

Yang Liu didn't even have time to say any more dirty words before the milky white bone nails that served as the puppet's teeth were neatly shot towards him amid the roar of the machinery.

"Grass!"

As he leaned back and rolled to avoid it, something brushed his cheek and got nailed into the wall.

Yang Liu stood up and touched the burning wound on her cheek, then picked up a milky white dart from the chair next to her.

The touch of his fingertips told him that the thing replacing the puppet's teeth was an alloy mark made from a molar.

"What the hell..."

Mobilizing the black light ball from the heart to heal the wound on his cheek, Yang Liu recalled what the funeral home owner had said about the workers who had gone missing here, and suddenly had a bad idea.

Blah blah blah...

After the red puppet as the protagonist appeared on the stage, hundreds of puppets around it stretched their joints in unison, and the rusted bearings and brand new titanium alloy accessories played an uncoordinated waltz of death.

Yang Liu quickly kicked over the puppets closest to him, and after his knuckles penetrated the outer skin of the puppets' chests, he grabbed out a mass of swollen internal organs.

These parts of human corpses were soaked in an unknown liquid, and synapse-like electric currents were wriggling in the mucus.

"Wetware... this is so damn environmentally friendly!" The young man grinned, holding half of the doll's remains in each hand.

When the three mechanical puppets rotated their upper bodies and rushed towards him, Yang Liu suddenly leaned down to avoid them, and with unimaginable agility, he quickly crossed the army of puppets that surrounded him and rushed towards the red-clothed puppet on the outermost edge.

Seeing Yang Liu appear in front of him like a ghost, the red puppet opened his arms and suddenly split into four arms.

Sharp ceramic blades shot out from the palm of each arm, and the four arms quickly rotated at an unbelievable speed, forming a blade storm that was enough to crush any living creature.

Yang Liu did not dodge or evade, allowing several sharp ceramic blades to pierce her flesh and blood. She only moved her body slightly at the moment of being hit to ensure that her vital parts would not be injured, and even used her body muscles to restrain the puppet's arms.

Relying on a self-mutilating fighting style, Yang Liu broke through the opponent's defense. Without waiting for the red-clothed puppet to use other means, Yang Liu had already waved the puppet remains in both hands and smashed the huge puppet in front of him.

The puppet that was smashed alive was blown into a cloud of oil, and the flying gears scraped sparks on the wall.

Yang Liu pulled out the blade that remained in her body, and the black light ball repaired the wound at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Looking at the broken body of the red-clothed doll in front of her, Yang Liu frowned: "No?"

After entering the main venue of the ballroom, Yang Liu realized that this "commission" was a trap for him.

Although the appearance of the entire dance hall and the faint music inside made the whole hall look quite gloomy, Yang Liu didn't just look at the environment to see if there were ghosts. There was no ghost in the whole hall, not to mention ghosts, there was not even any ghost power left. Under normal circumstances, ghosts would run around everywhere. In abandoned places like this, because there are not many people, it stands to reason that even if there are no ghosts gathering in a place, there will be ghosts passing by from time to time.

But that is not the case here, which means that not only are there no ghosts in this dance hall, it is also unusually clean.

In addition, these puppets were obviously arranged in advance, which means that the person behind the scenes not only knows his recent whereabouts, but also understands his abilities very well.

"But I have to say, these ghost things do have a bit of a hold on me."

Yang Liu looked at the puppets rushing towards her again and gritted her teeth in pain.

If facing "humans", although Yang Liu is not completely restrained like facing ghosts, she still has a considerable advantage.

The level of human physical fitness is there. Even if extraordinary people can improve through practice, there are only a handful of people who can surpass Yang Liu in pure physical strength. The magic-breaking ability he developed also causes great headaches for magic professions.

But it’s different when facing these “dolls”. Although these dolls look very shabby on the outside, they actually have very sophisticated designs on the inside and can be called modern products.

As a "machine", the puppet's own power far exceeds that of ordinary "humans". Although it is not as strong as Yang Liu, it is not far behind.

What’s important is that by covering the body with alloy and adding modern weapons, even the most ordinary puppet has surpassed Yang Liu in terms of lethality and defense.

Apart from a slight advantage in agility and strength, Yang Liu had almost no advantage when facing these puppets.

The reason why he chose such a violent fighting method when dealing with the red puppet was not because Yang Liu suddenly changed his job to become a berserker, but because he had no choice.

The body of the puppet is three meters tall. Its tall body means that more weapons can be stored inside and a more powerful power system can be loaded.

If it is not dealt with quickly, there is no telling what kind of weapon the puppet will pull out next.

The metal finger of a puppet pierced Yang Liu's left shoulder. He simply threw away the already broken remains in his hand, grabbed the arm of the puppet, and used the entire puppet as a weapon to wave at the puppet army again.

In a short period of time, Yang Liu had dealt with dozens of puppets in the dance hall, but there were still hundreds of puppets around him, staring at him covetously, and blood plasma mixed with engine oil sprayed all over his body.

"Damn, this puppeteer is hiding too well, isn't he?!"

Although modern technology has developed humanoid robots, they are still unable to fight with such flexibility.

So Yang Liu knew very well that the enemy he encountered this time was a puppeteer who combined modern technology.

When Yang Liu and Uga Shoji were discussing the issue of manipulating corpses before, he mentioned the profession of puppeteer.

If many extraordinary people are increasingly withdrawing from the stage of history due to modern technology, then puppeteers are the rare outliers who rely on technological development to strengthen themselves.

The so-called puppeteer, as the name suggests, is a profession that remotely controls various artificial weapons through unique spells and spiritual power lines.

According to classification, it can be considered a branch of the extraordinary people who control weapon.

However, puppeteers in ancient times were not considered outstanding. After all, extraordinary people also have to pay attention to the conservation of mass and energy. At the same level, manipulating a bunch of human-shaped or animal-shaped "dolls" is definitely not as effective as manipulating a sword.
