All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home
Chapter 167 Puppet?
Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Shi Si's eyes. He slowly spoke, his tone firm, "Ordinary torture won't work, so let's use the soul-searching technique!"
"Soul Search?" A hint of hesitation flashed in Jiang Wuchen's eyes. "The Soul Search technique is too domineering. If we're not careful, it could tear his soul to shreds."
"By then, we will no longer have any clues."
Moreover, the leader of the hunters is so stubborn that he may have planted a restriction within his own soul.
If you forcibly search the soul, you may trigger the restriction. Not only will you not get any clues, but you may also be attacked by the restriction. In that case, it will be a loss.
"Now, we have no other choice." Shi Si said firmly, without the slightest hesitation.
"The Compass has disappeared, the Cautious Conduct Bureau has been sealed off, and chaos has ensued in all the heavens. The hunters are frantically killing transmigrators and sentinels. Our time is running out."
"Even if there are risks, we must try. We cannot give up, even if there is only a sliver of hope!"
"If we could find clues about his mother or the Hunter organization in his soul."
"If we find out the truth about Li Sinan's disappearance and the sealing of Shenxing Division, we can make preparations in advance."
"This will allow us to better protect ourselves and the sentinels, gain a foothold in this chaos across the heavens, and even find a way to reverse the situation."
Karen and Yue Gui nodded in agreement, saying firmly, "Shi Si is right. We have no other choice. Even if there are risks, we must try!"
"Yes, Jiang Wuchen, let's use the Soul Searching Technique. Let's be careful and try not to damage his soul."
"Strive to find useful clues from his soul and uncover the whole truth."
Ye Fan also spoke slowly, his tone grave: "Right now, we are in a difficult situation, and this may be our only breakthrough."
"We cannot give up. If we give up, we will all be plunged into an abyss of no return."
Looking at the resolute expressions on everyone's faces, and then at the hunter leader who had been restrained, Jiang Wuchen's hesitation was gradually replaced by determination.
He knew that everyone was right; they had no other choice.
Now, the Compass has disappeared, the Cautious Conduct Office has been sealed off, chaos reigns throughout the heavens, and the hunters are closing in step by step.
They must seize every glimmer of hope, uncover the secrets of the hunters, and find out the truth behind Li Sinan's disappearance and the sealing of Shenxingsi's gate.
We must find a way out of this predicament.
"Alright!" Jiang Wuchen nodded slowly and said firmly, "Then let's use the Soul Searching Technique. Let's be careful and try not to damage his soul."
"Strive to find useful clues and uncover the whole truth!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wuchen and Shi Si exchanged a glance and got ready.
Jiang Wuchen raised his hand, and a gentle yet powerful sword intent surged from his fingertips, gently landing on the hunter leader's brow.
They carefully imprisoned his soul, preventing it from having any chance to escape, and also preventing his soul from disintegrating during the soul search process.
Shi Si slowly closed his eyes, his aura surging, and wisps of pale blue soul power flowed out from between his eyebrows.
Like countless tiny threads, they carefully seeped into the center of the hunters' brow.
His movements were extremely cautious, each step taken with utmost care, for fear of accidentally triggering the restrictions within his soul and causing all his efforts to be in vain.
Karen and Yuegui held their breath, their eyes fixed on the two men and the hunter leader, their expressions solemn, not daring to even breathe loudly.
My heart is filled with both anticipation and worry.
Ye Fan also propped himself up, his eyes fixed on the scene before him, silently praying in his heart.
Hopefully, they can find useful clues from the soul of the hunter leader, uncover the whole truth, and help them escape their current predicament.
Inside the temporary camp, all the transmigrators held their breath, their eyes fixed on the scene in the void.
Filled with anticipation and worry, they all knew that this soul search was of paramount importance to them.
It concerns the life and death of all of them, and whether they can find hope of returning home.
Time slips away, little by little.
Shi Si's soul power gradually seeped into the soul of the hunter leader, carefully probing every corner of his soul.
They searched for all clues about their mother, the Hunters organization, the Hunting Sentinels, the disappearance of Li Sinan, and the sealing of the Shenxing Division.
The hunter leader trembled violently, his face contorted in agony, and fine beads of sweat appeared between his brows.
Clearly, the pain caused by having one's soul probed is immense, as if the soul itself is being torn apart.
But he still gritted his teeth and didn't let out a single scream; his eyes were still full of determination and fear.
It was as if, even while enduring endless pain, they refused to let the secrets of their souls be revealed.
Jiang Wuchen's expression grew increasingly solemn. He tightly bound the soul of the hunter leader, constantly monitoring Shi Si's condition.
If any abnormality is detected, action will be taken immediately to stop the soul search and prevent both of them from being harmed.
Shi Si's brows furrowed, and a look of doubt and seriousness appeared on his face.
His soul power had explored most of the hunter leader's soul, but he had not found any useful clues.
It was as if his soul was completely blank.
How is that possible?
He was the leader of the hunters, a man of high status. How could his soul contain no useful clues? How could it be completely blank?
Even if he didn't know the truth about Li Sinan's disappearance and the sealing of Shenxingsi, he should know the secret of the Hunter organization and his mother's identity!
With doubts in his heart, Shi Si increased the output of his soul power, carefully probing every minute corner of the hunter leader's soul.
He didn't miss even the most hidden places, and he didn't give up even when he was suffering from the backlash of excessive consumption of his soul power.
No matter how he investigated or how hard he tried, he couldn't find any useful clues.
The hunter leader's soul contained no information about his mother, nor any secrets about the hunter organization.
There was no plan for the hunting sentinels, not even any memory of himself, and no instructions regarding the hunters' actions.
There was not a single clue about Li Sinan's disappearance or the sealing of Shenxing Division.
His soul was a blank, like a blank sheet of paper, containing nothing.
It was as if he had never experienced anything, as if he were just a soulless, thoughtless puppet who only followed orders.
After a long while, Shi Si slowly withdrew his soul power and slowly opened his eyes.
A look of doubt, seriousness, and disappointment crossed his face as he said in a heavy voice, "No...nothing at all..."
Nothing? Nothing at all?
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, their faces showing disbelief.
The expectation in his eyes was instantly replaced by disappointment and doubt, and despair welled up in his heart again.
"Shi Si, what did you say?" Jiang Wuchen asked urgently, "Say it again, there's nothing in his soul?"
"How is that possible? He's the leader of the hunters, how could there be no clues in his soul? Not even his own memories?"
He couldn't believe that he had gone to such great lengths to control the hunters' leader, even risking his life by using the Soul Searching Technique.
In the end, however, they found nothing, not even a single useful clue.
How is that possible?
Karen also came to her senses, her face full of confusion and resentment, and asked sharply, "Yes, Shi Si, did you find something wrong?"
"Examine him again carefully. How could there be nothing in his soul?"
"He must have planted a restriction or hidden a secret within his soul. Try again; you're sure to find a clue!"
"He's the leader of the hunters, how could he know nothing? You must have overlooked something, investigate again carefully!"
Yue Gui frowned and said with a serious expression, "Yes, Shi Si, investigate again carefully."
"Perhaps you've overlooked something, perhaps there's some hidden place in his soul that you haven't discovered."
"Perhaps the restrictions within his soul were too well hidden for you to notice."
Ye Fan also looked puzzled and said in a serious tone, "This is too strange. He is the leader of the hunters, how could he have no memories or clues in his soul?"
"This is completely illogical. Even a puppet should have the memories of executing commands."
Shi Si slowly shook his head, his tone heavy and firm: "I didn't make a mistake. I have carefully examined every corner of his soul."
"I didn't miss even the most hidden places. In fact, I used most of my soul power to try to break through any possible restrictions."
"But still, nothing was gained."
"His soul was indeed empty, a blank slate, devoid of any memories, secrets, or commands."
"Like...like a puppet, only having the instinct to follow orders, but nothing of its own."
A puppet?
These four words sent a chill down everyone's spine, and the doubt on their faces grew even stronger.
The despair in my heart grew ever deeper.
A living, breathing person, the leader of a hunter, a powerful expert with the strength to break through the realm, was actually just a puppet.
It has no memory of its own, no thoughts of its own, no consciousness of its own, and can only follow orders?
How is this possible?!
Jiang Wuchen's gaze was fixed on the leader of the hunters, a sharp killing intent and doubt flashing in his eyes.
He slowly raised his hand, a wisp of sword intent surging from his fingertips, and once again landed on the hunter leader's brow, personally probing his soul.
He refused to believe that all the effort he had put in had resulted in a completely useless puppet.
Soon, Jiang Wuchen withdrew his sword intent, a look of solemnity and doubt on his face, and said in a heavy tone.
"Shi Si is right. His soul is indeed empty, a blank, without any memories or secrets."
"Like a puppet, it only instinctively follows orders and has no consciousness of its own."
He personally investigated and confirmed Shi Si's statement: the hunter leader's soul was indeed blank, containing nothing.
This is neither a disguise nor a concealment, but the truth, like a soulless puppet, a tool that only executes commands.
"What on earth is going on?" Karen's confusion deepened, her tone filled with resentment and bewilderment.
"How could he be a puppet? How could the leader of the hunters be a soulless, memoryless puppet?"
"What abilities does that mother of mine possess that allow her to control such a powerful puppet?"
"Furthermore, what is the connection between Li Sinan's disappearance, the sealing of the Shenxing Division, this 'Mother,' and these puppet hunters?"
Where should we look for clues?
Yue Gui's face also turned extremely cold, and he said in a solemn tone, "This is too strange. A puppet without a soul or memories can actually possess the strength of the Breaking Realm."
"It can actually command countless hunters to carry out hunting missions, and it can do it so realistically, with its own emotions and its own obsessions."
"There must be some unknown secret behind this. This mother's strength is probably far more terrifying than we imagined."
"Moreover, this puppet is so lifelike that it has its own emotions and its own obsessions."
"Even after being caught, he remained stubborn and refused to reveal any secrets; he even considered self-destruction."
"This doesn't resemble a puppet at all; it's more like a living person, only their soul has been completely controlled and erased."
Ye Fan slowly spoke, his tone tinged with fear and doubt: "If the leaders of the Hunters are all puppets like this, just how powerful is the Hunters organization?"
"Just how terrifying is that mother? What is her purpose in controlling so many puppets to hunt down transmigrators and sentinels?"
"Also, is Li Sinan's disappearance related to her?"
If it's a hunter organization, there are many such puppet leaders. If it's that mother, she can control countless such puppets.
These time travelers wanted to fight against the hunters, escape their predicament, and find out the truth behind Li Sinan's disappearance and the closure of Shenxingsi.
It will become incredibly difficult, or even impossible.
A look of solemnity and doubt appeared on Shi Si's face. He slowly spoke, his tone heavy.
"I suspect that the leader of this hunter group was controlled by that mother using some kind of strange magic."
"He was completely erased of all his memories and consciousness, leaving only the instinct to carry out orders, turning him into a puppet who could only follow orders, a pawn in her hands."
"Perhaps, he was originally a living, breathing person, with his own memories, his own thoughts, and his own consciousness."
"He might even have been a powerful figure, but his mother forcibly manipulated him, erasing all his memories and consciousness."
"He became the leader of the hunters, commanding them to carry out missions to hunt down transmigrators and sentinels."
"As for whether there is any connection between him and Li Sinan's disappearance and the sealing of the Shenxing Division, I don't know."
"Perhaps it's related, perhaps it's not, but one thing is certain: this mother is definitely not simple."
"Her goal is definitely not just to hunt down transmigrators and sentinels."
Shi Si's speculation sent a chill down everyone's spine, and the fear on their faces intensified.
