Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 292 Combination Skills

Zhang Jingtian took a deep breath. "But if you do this, won't they be unable to reincarnate?"

If the soul exists, then there must also be reincarnation.

Upon hearing Zhang Jingtian's words, the voice suddenly laughed:

"Do you really think being born into this world is a good thing? Whether you become a human, a member of the Scourge, or a monster, I don't think there's anything to be happy about."

Zhang Jingtian was speechless for a moment, realizing that what the other person said seemed to make no problem at all.

"You gathered them together, didn't you have any other thoughts?"

The voice chuckled: "No, there's no need at all. I just can't bear to see them continue to suffer."

Of course, it also satisfies one of my desires: I enjoy observing other people's lives.

Zhang Jingtian suddenly asked, "If that's the case, then why did you still kill people?"

The voice suddenly paused, and after a long while, it spoke again:

"As you know, I like to observe other people's lives, naturally in order to pursue novelty."

But you humans, once your lives become stable, gradually become monotonous and boring.

So I need to bring in new people to observe their lives. Anyway, they'd die anyway, even if I didn't kill them. Dying at my hands, without pain, without even knowing they're dead—isn't that a kind of bliss?

Hearing this, Zhang Jingtian finally felt he had seen the monster clearly.

When Zhang Jingtian heard what he said earlier, he felt that this monster seemed too good, better than expected, and beyond his understanding of monsters.

However, Zhang Jingtian now felt that he had finally seen through the other party's true colors.

"Why do you adopt this superior attitude? Observation itself is an act of looking down. In your eyes, we are all just a bunch of ants. You are not showing compassion at all; you are just satisfying your own interests."

If one day your interest turns to torture and killing, then they will repeat the process of torture and killing, which is even more painful than being killed.

Do you know, you're more disgusting than those monsters. At least they dare to admit their purpose is to kill. But you, you have to put on a sanctimonious act, portraying yourself as some kind and noble being.

After Zhang Jingtian finally managed to break through the monster's defenses, it became enraged and revealed its true form.

Zhang Jingtian never expected that this was actually a humanoid legion of natural disasters.

He was a puppeteer, as large as the sky.

And everyone in the town is controlled by the puppeteer behind them, with a thread running through their backs.

Clearly, everything here is part of a stage play he designed.

He originally thought he would welcome a new actor today, but Zhang Jingtian saw through his lie.

Yes, the most powerful ability of a puppeteer is to brainwash you and turn you into a puppet.

If Zhang Jingtian is killed, then it will be impossible to turn into a puppet.

But now he realizes that it is impossible for him to change Zhang Jingtian.

So he quickly made a decision: he simply wanted to kill Zhang Jingtian.

At this moment, the restrictions on Zhang Jingtian also disappeared.

He glanced at all the puppets in the town, all of them walking toward him menacingly, but he wasn't afraid at all.

"It's your turn."

Zhang Jingtian summoned his own heroic spirit.

At this moment, the Lord of the Corpse Forest emerged from the crack in the ground. With a roar, the entire town withered instantly. Most of the puppets had their life force absorbed and turned into a pile of bones.

The puppeteer laughed: "Interesting. You actually managed to turn them back into corpses. Your control over death is even stronger than mine."

"That's all. The puppets that you can corrupt are just defective products." At this moment, the remaining puppets began to grow huge and then rushed towards the Lord of the Corpse Forest.

"When it comes to death, that's my forte!"

A shadow appeared in the sky.

That was Mahakala.

Mahakala descended gracefully, and then she performed a sacrificial gesture.

As the Great Black Heaven chanted incantations, the entire town was immediately enveloped by a giant black lotus flower.

The puppeteer's expression finally changed.

He hadn't expected that, despite being a colored card and clearly stronger than the person in front of him, her magic could still affect him!

He clearly wanted to escape, but he discovered that various strange incantations were faintly appearing on the lotus flower.

"hateful!"

The puppeteer realized something was wrong; these black cards in front of him were definitely not simple!
The reason she has survived to this day, besides her own considerable strength, is that she has another advantage: she can assess situations and act accordingly.

The puppeteer now understood that if he continued, he would surely die here.

So he quickly made his choice: he wanted to leave.

Logically speaking, Daikokuten's flesh lotus should be unable to control the puppeteer.

However, at this moment, the Lord of the Corpse Forest, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly pulled out one of his ribs and stuck it into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jingtian saw that on each petal of the fleshy lotus, a withered tree made of white bones grew.

The vines from these withered trees entangled the puppeteer.

This was the first time Zhang Jingtian had seen the combined skill of Daheitian and the Corpse Forest Protector; he hadn't expected it to be so powerful.

In an instant, the puppeteer was swallowed up by the flesh lotus.

After seeing this, Zhang Jingtian looked at Daheitian and the Corpse Forest Protector with surprise:

"When did you two acquire this skill? How come we've never used it before?"

"Our skills are also unlocked little by little, and many of them are sealed. The higher your mental strength, the stronger the skills we unlock."

"You're already a legendary five-star card maker. Our skills, combined with our inherent rank, are practically on par with rainbow cards."

She explained patiently.

However, after asking around, Zhang Jingtian discovered that only Daheitian and the Corpse Forest Protector had unlocked the new skills.

He smiled, thinking that this meant he was even less afraid of the next two colored cards.

After resting for a day, Zhang Jingtian headed towards the second location.

This place is a hospital, and it's a mental hospital.

It looks like the kind of place horror stories love to take place in.

Zhang Jingtian slowly walked to the front of this old mental hospital, and to his surprise, there was another person in the security booth.

The security guard looked up at Zhang Jingtian in front of him and said:

"what are you up to?"

Zhang Jingtian smiled and said, "I want to go in and kill someone, or are you that person?"
