Their commission was suspicious.

To the puppeteer, these are just materials.

The premise is that you can beat them.

"The body is extremely intact, and the amount of soul dissipation is very small. Perhaps it is because it was put into the backpack that the angel is in such good condition."

When Chen Luo re-examined the angel's corpse from the perspective of a puppeteer, he felt that he had been incredibly clever in the past, and his handling of the situation was simply superb.

"Whatever makes you happy," the Herald of Knowledge said indifferently.

"Don't you think what I did was a bit...?" Chen Luo asked after a moment's hesitation.

"Is that... evil? Rebellious? Disrespectful to the dead? Then wouldn't I, the Lawyer of Consciousness, who possesses the power to manipulate the consciousness of others, be disrespectful to the living?"

"In a sense, I control the living, and you control the dead. We're a match made in heaven," the Herrscher of Knowledge said nonchalantly.

"That makes sense." Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo himself didn't mind this kind of thing. After all, if the other party wanted to kill him, it was normal for the loser to give himself to the other party as well, right?

Chen Luo was mainly worried that others wouldn't accept it.

But it's clear that the one who understands the laws has eaten more salt than Chen Luo has eaten rice.

As the saying goes, "A bird can be found in any kind of forest when it grows big," and the Herald of Knowledge, possessing tens of thousands of years of memories, has a higher level of acceptance than I do.

This made Chen Luo very gratified.

"Let's forget about it. I'll wait until I've mastered my skills before creating such a perfect and precious body," Chen Luo said after thinking for a moment.

The bodies of S-class talents are extremely rare and highly sought after, with a preservation rate of over 95%. If one were to truly master their skills and then transform them into a puppet, it might be possible to retain their memories, talents, and strength.

In that case, Chen Luo would have an S-class bodyguard, a bodyguard who would always be loyal.

Family members may abandon you, lovers may betray you, but a doll will never!

This is a sentence written in the preface of "The Puppeteer's Handbook".

Although Chen Luo did not agree.

The Puppeteer is indeed a very powerful support class.

"It's a pity that when we killed the Honkai Beasts before, we didn't save the materials they dropped. Now it seems like a huge waste," Chen Luo said while killing the assassins.

While Honkai Beasts and Death Knights will most likely turn into Honkai Energy after they die, they will occasionally drop some materials.

Honkai Beasts are treasures from head to toe.

These materials can also be used to make dolls.

Of course, besides creating dolls, it is also possible to directly manipulate them into dolls.

Take Chen Luo as an example.

One by one, wind element threads were inserted into the bodies of the weaker assassins. Then, Chen Luo used those threads to manipulate the assassins' bodies and kill the surrounding assassins.

These ordinary assassins were somewhat weak to Chen Luo, and since Chen Luo possessed the [Furniture Mastery] skill, controlling them was relatively simple. However, if he encountered elite assassins, controlling them would be quite difficult.

However, although he could control it normally, Chen Luo eventually gave up on this method.

The main reason is that it's faster for Chen Heng to do it himself than to use assassins to kill other assassins.

However, when Chen Luo passes by, he will randomly select a lucky assassin and control him as a puppet in his hands to increase the puppeteer's proficiency.

However, Chen Luo's mental strength was not enough; he could only control three assassins at a time using silk threads.

"There are so few living people left in Changkong City. I've been looking around for ages and haven't run into a single one."

“Nonsense, you’ve been operating in the downtown business district. Even if there were any living people there, they would be hacked to death by the assassins. You should be in the residential area,” said the Herrscher of Knowledge.

“That makes sense.” Chen Luo nodded, then turned and walked towards the nearby residential area.

Chen Luo said that saving survivors is not just empty talk.

The problem is that there are hardly any living people left in the entire Changkong City.

Changkong City has a resident population of 300 million, but it's a miracle if 3000 of them survive.

Of these 3000 people, it would be considered lucky if half of them survived the first day at the hands of those assassins.

The rest will also be subject to the erosion of Honkai energy. If they are lucky, they will awaken incomplete Stigmata and at least be able to survive in the environment of Changkong City.

If you're unlucky and suffer from prolonged erosion by Honkai energy, and don't awaken an incomplete Stigmata, you might slowly be corrupted into a suicide soldier.

Not just anyone can become a suicide squad member.

For example, you've never seen a male assassin because men have too low resistance to Honkai energy. They were corrupted and died during the third Honkai outbreak, and didn't even qualify to become assassins.

And the remaining women...

In fact, not all women can become suicide warriors. Generally speaking, young women are more likely to become suicide warriors because they have higher Honkai resistance. This is why suicide warriors are often depicted as young girls.

If the adaptability is even higher, it will lead to the awakening of incomplete Stigmata, just like Xiao Kong and the others in the main storyline.

After awakening an incomplete Stigmata, they are able to live in this city, but due to the incompleteness of the Stigmata, they need to live in an environment with Honkai energy for a long time, otherwise they will experience withdrawal symptoms.

Then there are pseudo-Herrschers, like Yuno, who is gradually developing into a pseudo-Herrscher at Chiba Academy. Her Honkai energy adaptability is definitely stronger than that of ordinary zombies. Of course, becoming a pseudo-Herrscher also requires another necessary factor, which is that you must also possess a great deal of negative emotions.

The pseudo-Herrscher Yae Sakura and the pseudo-Herrscher Yuno are examples of this.

If one has a high adaptability to Honkai energy, they may become a fully awakened Stigmata, like Mei. Even without the Herrscher Core, as a Stigmata holder, she would not have died in the Third Honkai Impact.

Above that are the Lawgivers.

It is precisely because not everyone can become a suicide squad that Chen Luo is having such a hard time eliminating suicide squads now, because the base number is not enough, so he needs to hunt in the wild.

If everyone could become a suicide squad member, the 300 million suicide squad members in Changkong City could easily overwhelm the entire Far East region, making them question their existence.

"Hmm, Alo, there's a living person nearby. Their consciousness is too active; they might have been greatly stimulated," Xiao Xiaoshi suddenly reminded him.

"Huh?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, then immediately rushed towards the place marked by Xiao Xiao.

My consciousness was greatly stimulated. In this city full of assassins, there was a 90% chance that I would be hunted down.

And that is indeed the case.

"Help! Help! Is anyone there? Is there anyone who can save me?" The little girl sitting on the ground looked in terror at the white figure holding two knives that was gradually approaching her.

The little girl knew that the outside world seemed to have become dangerous, but she didn't know it had become this dangerous.

But what could she do? With all the food at home gone, she had no choice but to go out and find new food.

Mom and Dad went to work, and I don't know how things are going now.

The little girl slumped to the ground, throwing pebbles at the white figure as she weakly moved backward.

Before being struck by the shard, the assassin wielding two swords suddenly blurred, swiftly dodging the stone, and then raised his right sword high.

"Dad, Mom..." The little girl closed her eyes in despair, but before she closed them, she did not forget to resist. She grabbed the last piece of rubble and threw it at the assassin.

Even when you are in despair, never forget to fight against the world.

The little girl remembered her father's words very well.

After waiting for two seconds with her eyes closed, without even feeling herself being hit by a sharp blade, the little girl quietly opened her eyes.

"Huh? Did I...do this?" The little girl stared blankly at the large hole in the assassin's forehead.

The little girl paused for a moment, then picked up a small pebble and threw it at the gradually dissipating body of the assassin.

"Ouch!" To the little girl's disappointment, the pebble not only failed to pierce the other person's body, but bounced back and hit her on the forehead.

"Hey, little one, what are you doing?" a male voice rang out, and the little girl instinctively turned around to look.

"Whoosh!" An arrow was shot out instantly, piercing the head of another assassin who came after hearing the sound.

Although Chen Luo's arrow shot didn't make much noise, the little girl's shouts were quite loud.

"Sigh, didn't I awaken some kind of superpower?" The little girl was slightly disappointed, but she quickly ran over at Chen Luo's beckoning.

Which little girl hasn't dreamed of becoming a magical girl? It's just a pity that her dream has been shattered.

If I become a magical girl, I'll have the power to find my mom and dad.

I hope nothing bad happens to Mom and Dad...

Chapter 86 The Tool Person Durandal

"Big brother, where are we going next?" The adorable little girl followed Chen Luo, watching him kill all the terrifying-looking assassins one by one.

"go home."

"go home?"

"Go back to your home."

"Go back to my house?" The little girl was stunned again.

"But I have no food left at home, so I came out to find food," the little girl said timidly.

“It’s alright, I have food. I’ll spend the next half day clearing out the zombies around this residential area, trying to kill them all. You just stay here for now, and I’ll bring the other survivors over here gradually,” Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo learned from Xiao Xiaoshi that this was another person whose Stigmata was not fully awakened. Because the Stigmata was not fully awakened, it required a continuous injection of Honkai energy.

Chen Luo couldn't even get them out of Changkong City...

So unless a large Honkai force is willing to accept them, they have no choice but to continue living in Changkong City, which is now in ruins.

Fate isn't on your side; Otto is a ruthless jerk.

Even the radical anti-entropy faction won't work; they're even more ruthless.

Upon closer examination, only the anti-entropy conservatives seem like a viable option, but conservatives have no obligation to accept these people...

“Alo, I feel it would be better for you to find a commercial building with ample supplies. You can ensure their safety and supply of materials here now, but what will happen after you leave? So if possible, you should ensure their survival before ensuring comfortable living conditions.” Ke Xiaoshi offered another idea.

“Hmm, that makes sense…” Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo has always been someone who listens to opinions very well, just like now.

After changing his mind, Chen Luo asked the little girl directly if she had any other daily necessities she hadn't taken.

After confirming that her only possession was the Houmu doll in her arms, Chen Luo led her out of the residential area.

This time, Chen Luo used the teleportation anchor point's teleportation function for the first time, bringing the opponent to the place where Chen Luo first bombed with thermobaric bombs.

This is the largest commercial street. Although Chen Luo blew up the largest shopping mall, there was another shopping mall nearby. Because the shockwave was blocked by the first shopping mall, this shopping mall was not seriously damaged.

No matter how Chen Luo looked at it, it felt like a twin shopping mall.

No wonder it was bombed flat.

The reason for choosing this location, besides the abundance of supplies, is that the nearby suicide squads were basically wiped out with a single shot after being lured away by Chen Luo's decoy grenades.

There were very few assassins nearby; Chen Luo spent 10 minutes without seeing a single one.

"Um... big brother, can you help me find my mom and dad?" Just as Chen Luo was about to leave after offering his tent to the other person so that they could camp on a higher floor, the little girl grabbed his clothes.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Although this little girl is indeed powerless, her obsession and desire are strong enough to generate a one-star quest with a reward of 30 Primogems.

For Chen Luo now, 30 raw stones are the same as killing 6 assassins. Killing 6 assassins only takes Chen Luo a few minutes, but finding two people would take several hours or even a day.

"Okay." Chen Luo nodded.

Since killing a soldier doesn't matter where you are, Chen Luo was still struggling with where to kill one when this little girl provided him with a solution.

Although Chen Luo felt that the chances of her parents surviving were extremely slim, the commission did not require that they be found alive.

Where do your parents work during the day?

"Hmm, ME Company," the little girl said after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing this word, Chen Luo raised an eyebrow.

Thinking about it carefully, the neighborhood where this child lives seems to be an affluent area. If that's the case, then it makes sense that the child's parents work for ME Company.

"Understood. You can stay here and eat whatever you want. I'll go find your parents." Chen Luo patted the little girl's shoulder, comforted her, and then disappeared again using the teleportation anchor.

When Chen Luo reappeared this time, he was still at the same shopping mall that had disappeared.

Chen Luo remembered that Durandal's gun was still outside.

Chen Luo planned to take the gun with him before going to ME.
