After putting on the exotic leather armor over his clothes, Xu Shenxing nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, very natural."
"No, it's not natural at all … The breastplate already covers the abdomen!"
Louise couldn't help but complain.
She also put on the Hitman's leather armor. Although she looked a little bloated, she was unexpectedly handsome. Her short green hair had been dyed orange-red with some kind of potion, and she looked a lot livelier.
"F * ck, can't I wear it as a full-body armor?" Xu Shenxing, who had achieved 100% success in being ridiculed, replied indifferently.
After all, they were of different races. Even Xu Shenxing couldn't turn himself into a muscular man who was 2.5 meters tall and could use a two-handed Scottish Highland sword as a dagger.
"And compared to this, isn't there a bigger problem?" Xu Shenxing turned his head to look at the two skeletons.
Even with the leather armor, they still looked empty. Even if they were wrapped in cloth, it didn't create the feeling of a living person.
"Lola can do the same thing as the Hitman just now. As long as there are no white-robed clerics, basically no one can discover her stealth."
Louise thought and suggested, "As for Cooper … can't we let him stay here?"
"If you don't mind, of course, I have no objection."
Xu Shenxing replied noncommittally, "But since someone has already come to find us, I think you should take the fact that 'this place is already exposed' into consideration."
"Ugh, that's true …"
The very tomboyish girl muttered in distress, "It seems that we can only temporarily leave him in a more hidden place outside the city."
After discussing the countermeasures, the group left the cave where they were hiding and went to the outside world.
Although they didn't know when they came to this world, it was now night. Looking at the night sky from near the mountainside, they could see the river of stars that seemed to be flowing.
Two blue and red moons, one big and one small, lined up in the night sky. Because the brightness (or the degree of reflection of sunlight) was not as high as the moon on Earth, even in the presence of the two moons, they could still see the sky full of stars. It was a unique romance of this world.
"There are actually two moons …"
Xu Shenxing muttered with great interest.
"The red moon is called the Scarlet Moon, and the blue one is called the Tranquil Moon. It's rare for them to appear together. From the perspective of astrology, this kind of astrology is very suitable for some special ceremonies. I tried to summon you because of the two moons, but I didn't expect it to succeed … "
Louise also raised her head to look at the brilliant river of stars, as well as the two magnificent moons in the river of stars. Her voice sounded somewhat ethereal.
"Oh."
"Although I've long felt that Lord Evil God isn't interested in magic, isn't this a little too cold?"
Because of Xu Shenxing's indifference, the girl could not help but sigh.
"I'm really sorry."
Xu Shenxing thought to himself, I'm the successor of socialism. All the monsters are paper tigers. All the incredible things can be explained by physics, and the things that can't be explained can also be solved by physics …
And although there were things like astrology in ancient times, and even in modern times, people were superstitious about constellations, but if you thought about it carefully, all the astrology was just a star tens of thousands of light-years away. Xu Shenxing himself had been to the colony of an alien civilization, and for him, there was nothing special about the astrology at all.
Unless it was the kind of mini world where the sky was round and all the stars were projections of gods, this would not change even in this world.
"This is the first time I've heard such an unreflective apology …"
The girl muttered while walking on the rugged mountain path.
"I'm really sorry."
So Xu Shenxing changed to a handstand position with only his little finger and repeated what he just said.
"No, I don't mean the posture … Forget it, I always feel that Lord Evil God's way of thinking is very different from that of ordinary humans."
"I don't know if there's a difference." Xu Shenxing exerted force with his finger and his whole body bounced up like a spring, then landed steadily and returned to his previous standing position. Then, he looked back. "But the choice we made was right."
"Huh?"
The girl followed Xu Shenxing's gaze and looked over. In the end, she discovered that on the small slope in front of the cave entrance, which was quite a distance away from them, many figures had appeared faintly.
"Are they mercenaries?"
Louise almost reflexively crouched down, trying to hide her figure with the help of the weeds.
"Unfortunately, they're not."
Although Xu Shenxing's senses were quite subpar, it depended on who he was compared to. Compared to Louise whose senses were only at the level of an ordinary person, Xu Shenxing's senses were already shockingly powerful.
Even if the moonlight was much weaker than on Earth, the hazy night still could not obstruct Xu Shenxing's vision, allowing him to clearly see the things on the slope.
They were not humans, but dolls made of unknown materials. They had no facial features or organs, and were so white that it was a little disgusting.
They were holding all kinds of cold weapons and waiting at the entrance of the cave. Some of the puppets even sneaked into the cave with the help of other puppets.
"Although they have the basic appearance of a human, their faces are completely white and there's room for a complete face, their reaction is not human. Or rather, it's questionable whether they can even be considered 'living beings'."
According to the feedback from Yun Lin's senses, they should have a 'life reaction', but that reaction was very awkward. Should it be inferior, or full of dissonance? All in all, it was not a good feeling.
"Dolls? That should be the work of the Einz Shuhua family, "Louise said softly.
"Einz Shuhua?"
"Yes, a rare magic family. It's said that their ancestor was once a disciple of a great sage, and they inherited the great sage's puppet magic. They even have the legendary long-lost skill of creating alchemical life. "
"Alchemical life …"
That would explain everything.
Xu Shenxing pondered for a moment, then asked, "They came to find you, which means that they have already made contact with the church you mentioned before?"
"The Einz Shuhua usually live in seclusion. Their philosophy is to pass down the knowledge of the great sage, so to be honest, I'm very surprised that their skill appeared here …"
