It was very difficult to communicate in the Maze of Lies because the silencer had used a silencing spell on most people. Usually, they could communicate through handwritten text, but in an emergency, they could only rely on their reactions.
"Retreat first." Gaiman didn't have the time to write too many words. He only wrote three words for everyone to see before retreating in the direction of the door.
Clearly, Gaiman and company didn't know what was about to appear. In the past, they had only explored the parts related to Witch Castle. They hadn't completely explored the entire Maze of Lies, nor had they seen all the dimensional creatures.
However, Zhou Wen had explored the entire maze and had seen most of the dimensional creatures inside.
Although he had never seen the three-headed wolf's corpse self-destruct, he could roughly guess the dimensional creatures that were about to arrive from the sound.
If that thing really comes, those who are stained with the three-headed wolf's blood probably won't have it easy. Zhou Wen swept his gaze and quickly determined who the people stained with the three-headed wolf's blood were.
Wang Lu wasn't stained with wolf blood when she was beside Zhou Wen. Only when she saw that Lance wasn't stained with wolf blood did she feel relieved.
However, there were a total of seventeen people, and nine of them were stained with wolf blood. Zhou Wen couldn't help but frown slightly. The three-headed wolf's self-destruction was really timely. It happened to self-destruct in the middle of everyone. Could it be that it was here to send itself to its death?
Upon thinking of this possibility, Zhou Wen was somewhat alarmed. If the three-headed wolf was really here to send itself to its death, the Maze of Lies in reality was much more terrifying than in-game.
The dimensional creatures in-game were in their respective territories. They would only appear when they were triggered.
In reality, the three-headed wolf had run over and infected so many people with its wolf blood. This was to pave the way for another dimensional creature to appear.
When everyone retreated to the door, they set up a formation with their backs to the exit. The Companion Beasts were also prepared for battle as they looked in the direction of the strange sound.
Soon, everyone saw blood-colored puppets appear everywhere. They looked like humans and were very well-made. They were even wearing clothes.
However, at their joints, there were thin threads that extended into the distance.
It's indeed a Devil Puppeteer. When Zhou Wen saw the puppets, he knew that he had guessed correctly.
However, in the game, the Devil Puppeteer was in the Puppet Gallery and wouldn't come out on his own.
Now, he had actually run out, and those people were already stained with the three-headed wolf's blood, which just happened to match one of the Demon Puppeteer's skills. In a while, those people who were stained with the wolf's blood would all become puppets.
Of course, this was only his guess.
If the Devil Puppeteer had done something to the Three-headed Wolf in advance, then the blood could be used by him. If he hadn't done anything in advance, the blood wouldn't have any effect.
Gaiman and company ordered their Companion Beasts to attack the puppet, but in the next second, someone's expression turned extremely horrified.
Strange threads appeared on the bodies of those who were stained with the wolf's blood. Those threads were like puppets, extending into the depths of the maze.
The people and Companion Beasts that had thin threads on their bodies were no longer under their control. They seemed to be controlled by the threads as they pounced at their companions.
Such an unforeseen event exceeded everyone's expectations. For a moment, chaos ensued.
Before the Destiny Witches could even see them, their own people had already started fighting.
The puppets also rushed forward to join the battle, and the scene became extremely chaotic.
Gaiman wanted to sever the thin threads on those people to see if he could save them. Unfortunately, their weapons slashed down on the thin threads. The thin threads were like flowing water. The weapons slashed over, but the thin threads didn't break.
Zhou Wen had long expected such an outcome. He pulled Wang Lu back a distance and waited for the Devil Puppeteer to appear.
It was useless to kill these puppets. The puppeteer had almost countless puppets, so it was useless to exhaust them. He had to wait for the puppeteer to appear and kill him.
Gaiman and company clearly realized the problem. They also wanted to find the dimensional creature controlling the puppets. Some even rushed over along the threads.
From Zhou Wen's point of view, these were all futile actions. The puppeteer was like Demonic Neonate. They were both very good at hiding themselves and liked to kill in secret. It was impossible to find him by following the threads. It would only put them in danger.
Indeed, after the person rushed over with his Companion Beasts, there was soon no sound. He was nowhere to be seen, and his corpse was nowhere to be seen.
"Let's rush over together." Gaiman wrote a few words before wanting to follow the threads on the puppets.
The puppets died and came back to life. It was useless to kill them a few more times. They had to kill the person controlling the puppets.
"You're not allowed to go over." Zhou Wen wrote on the cardboard.
The first time he encountered the puppeteer, he had suffered a huge loss. He thought that he could find the puppeteer by following the threads, but what awaited him was a death trap.
"If we don't go over, we'll die. We can only go over," Gaiman quickly wrote.
"According to the agreement, I have the final say. All of you stay here. No one is allowed to go over." Zhou Wen quickly wrote a line.
"Give me a reason." Gaiman stared at Zhou Wen and wrote.
"I think there's a chance of survival by staying here. Going over will only lead to death," Zhou Wen wrote.
"Staying here will only lead to death. Mr. Gaiman, ignore him. Let's rush over together and capture the fellow who controlled Old Liu and company." A person wrote a line before rushing towards the other end of the thread.
Zhou Wen had no need to stop others if they wanted to die. After all, the lives of these people had nothing to do with him.
The others were also eager to give it a try. Clearly, they felt that if this continued, they wouldn't have a chance of leaving alive unless they killed all the people and puppets who were being controlled.
"Give Zhou Wen a chance." As Lance controlled his Companion Beasts to deal with the puppets, he rushed over and raised the token in his hand.
As communication wasn't convenient, many people wanted to say something, but they didn't have the time to write in battle.
Gaiman looked at the spot where the person had gone and saw that he had vanished silently like the previous person. Finally, he gritted his teeth and ordered everyone to continue resisting the puppets' attacks. He gave up on the idea of following the thread.
However, their situation worsened. This was because nine people were being controlled. When they fought the nine people, it wasn't easy for them to kill them. This resulted in them being in a very passive state.
Furthermore, a large number of puppets rushed over, making it extremely difficult for them to deal with them.
