Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 166 Small talk
"Are you... really a human being?"

The old woman couldn't help but ask as she looked at Yang Liu who had pulled her out forcibly. Even the electronic sound couldn't cover up the surprise in her voice.

To be on the safe side, Yang Liu, who was concentrating on dismantling the giant puppet, replied without turning her head: "Hey! Be careful or I'll sue you for defamation. What on earth is wrong with me not being human?!"

"How is it possible for a human to be able to withstand the punishment hammer and still be safe and sound? And your injuries... have healed in such a short time..."

The old woman couldn't help but complain, looking at Yang Liu with satisfied excitement: "If I use your body as the basis to make a doll, I will definitely be able to create a masterpiece that surpasses the man-made gods!!"

Although modern technology has developed materials science, biological materials are still the most suitable for conducting spiritual power.

Even modern dolls are made of wood frames, and at most are covered with metal armor to increase their defense.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any idea of donating my body for the time being. Besides, I have encountered artificial gods before, and I don't think I can defeat them." Yang Liu said very sincerely.

Although he had killed an artificial god before, that thing was at most a defective product. The real artificial god could probably be the one in the Miyajigoku Shrine.
Although there are only a few artificial gods in Japan that can reach the level of Miyajiroku Shrine, it can also be used as a reference.

Before its stored power was exhausted, the firepower of that one artificial god was probably equal to that of an entire heavily armored regiment.

Hearing this, the old woman's originally excited expression quickly fell, and her eyes, which had always been bright and sharp, became dim: "Yes... No matter how hard they struggled, the puppet master was finally left behind by modern technology..."

If puppeteers used to be required to charge into battle, now their position has gradually been replaced by drones that can control drones at a longer distance, in larger numbers, and with better combat effectiveness.

"I don't understand what you guys are thinking. You have superhuman strength, but instead of enjoying your life, you actually want to compete for positions with modern weapons."

Yang Liu finally finished dismantling the big doll and turned to stand in front of the cockpit: "As the most difficult enemy I have encountered since my debut, do you have any last words?"

"The most difficult enemy? I am truly honored to be here..."

The old woman laughed, her hoarse voice coming out through the electronic speaker: "I didn't expect that even at my age I could still be recognized by my enemies. I can die without regrets now."

"Who told you I acknowledged you?"

Yang Liu glanced at her and didn't rush to kill her. Instead, he sat cross-legged in front of the cockpit.

"You are such a weird old lady. You came here to ambush me, but you still held back when fighting me even after it came to this."

The other party held back. This was the first thing Yang Liu thought of after the last giant puppet appeared.

Even though the manipulation of a giant puppet is quite complicated, it is definitely not as complicated as manipulating hundreds of puppets at the same time.

If she wanted to exert the highest combat effectiveness, her best choice would be to wait until Yang Liu had destroyed about half of the small puppets, then control the giant puppet while controlling the army of small puppets to besiege Yang Liu.

Instead of waiting for Yang Liu to smash all the small dolls before appearing, he fought while distracted by repairing the dolls.

"Even if we don't talk about the strategic issues, the configuration of your puppet's weapons is quite messy..."

If the small puppets can use the excuse that they are not big enough to carry large weapons, then the large puppets can fight with several guns in their hands, instead of the current situation where the only long-range weapon is a flamethrower.

"Let me see... In addition to the impact hammer, there is also a welding gun and an impact drill. Did you bring out a repair doll?!" After Yang Liu exposed all her flaws, the old woman had no intention of explaining. She just smiled and shook her head.

Although her face was as thin as a mummy, Yang Liu inexplicably felt a sense of sadness from her.

She looked at the ceiling of the ballroom through the cockpit, her eyes filled with reminiscence, as if she saw something precious in this dilapidated ballroom.

After a long while, the old woman turned her gaze to Yang Liu: "I remember they lured you here with the commission of exorcising ghosts?"

"Yeah, but obviously, there are no ghosts here."

"Strictly speaking, there is a ghost here, but this ghost... is more nostalgic." The old woman laughed in a hoarse voice.

"Your joke is still not very funny."

"I'm almost dead, can't you say something to make me happy?" The old woman coughed twice with difficulty, "But since you carelessly stepped into the trap, it seems that you didn't expect this."

"It's a trap... Actually, the fat guy's disguise was not very good, but I was curious so I came over to take a look. It's a pity, it is indeed a trap, but it doesn't seem to have any surprises." Yang Liu spread his hands.

The old woman's eyes suddenly turned reproachful: "I know that you young people are full of youthful vigor, but you can't step into it knowing that it is a trap! Remember, you only have one life... Never mind, it's probably too late to say this now."

"Don't be so confident. I just happen to have a different opinion from you. This trap is indeed dangerous, but I'm afraid it's not enough to kill me."

Yang Liu Yile, of course he would not act so rashly. The reason why he dared to come here even though he knew it was a trap was entirely because after accepting the commission, he went directly to see Koizumi Ling.

After confirming that she would not die, Yang Liu decisively came to accept the appointment.

No matter what, he had to at least figure out who wanted to harm him.

"Since you are so confident, it seems that you are really sure..." The old woman's voice lowered.

Seeing her life force rapidly decreasing, Yang Liu frowned but said nothing more.

Based on his understanding of the human body, the old lady is still alive thanks to the life support system in the cockpit.

After he pulled her out of the puppet, the life support system had stopped and the old lady's life was already in countdown.

Yang Liu was just about to look for his backpack buried under the rubble to see if he could dig out some supplies to prepare for the next battle.

His eyes suddenly focused and he looked towards where the old lady's cockpit was.

There, an illusory figure was floating up from the old lady's dried corpse.

"This is... no way? Turned into a ghost?"
