Chapter 614
Words:1865Update:22/06/27 07:17:55
It had been six hours since the team led by Huo Ziping went deep into the tunnel.
There was no movement at either end of the tunnel.
Somewhere on the high mountain above the tunnel.
A huge rock that was nearly five meters wide was slowly moved away, revealing a tunnel that led straight down.
Inside.
A group of ashen-faced Asians quickly escaped from the scene.
Even the captain, Huo Ziping, was not in a good condition. His braids were cut off by a sharp weapon, and his black hair scattered messily on his shoulders. There were several cuts on his cheeks, shoulders, and waist. There were even many pieces of wood embedded in his flesh that needed urgent treatment.
Huo Ziping was the last to escape.
They could still hear the strange laughter coming from the lower passage. They could vaguely see a half-human, half-puppet, white-haired old woman with a festering face following behind them. But she could not leave because of the restriction of the passage.
She could only pull the silk thread in her hand and make the puppet floating in the air wave goodbye to the group of people who escaped.
"No wonder you could kill Pennywise in the Surface World. You have some skills. When we meet again in the future, no one can escape from the silk thread in Mary Shaw's hand."
Huff … Huff … Huff …
They were able to find the hidden passage in the tunnel all because of the squint-eyed Yu Wu in the team. His ears were very useful in many environments.
But it still took a long time.
All kinds of strange puppets made the team suffer … Huo Ziping was the only one in the team who was able to slightly touch Maryshaw's body with his sword skills. The most abnormal thing was that Maryshaw could perform "consciousness transfer". She could transfer her consciousness to any puppet, and her body could change at any time.
Moreover, once Mary Shaw felt that her consciousness had been discovered, she would immediately switch.
To kill this old woman, the following three conditions must be met:
1. Non-targeted positioning. A method that Mary Shaw could not detect was required to locate the puppet body where her consciousness was located.
2. No killing intent. No killing intent could be leaked during the whole process. Mary Shaw could not sense whether you were really targeting her.
3. Instant killing. Do not give Mary Shaw any time to escape.
Of course … Huo Ziping had considered killing all the puppets to prevent Maryshaw from transferring her consciousness, but it was impossible to do so.
[You have left Mt. Herbo Tunnel through the hidden passageway. You will no longer receive Mary Shaw's attention and attacks for the next 48 hours.]
Only after hearing this notification did everyone stop and rest.
In this sudden battle, the only one who wasn't injured was Ma Taotao … Gongsun Hao, who was the largest among them, had stepped forward bravely in many dangerous moments, shielding Ma Taotao with his body.
However, this was also an internal rule in the team. They had to do their best to prevent Ma Taotao from getting hurt.
Silver needles pierced into the bodies of his teammates and connected to the needles with a ribbon.
He danced with Ma Taotao.
The vitality of the green plants in the mountains was immediately absorbed by her, condensing into pure life healing essence that was transmitted to the three of them through the ribbons … healing their injuries at the fastest speed possible.
Gongsun Hao asked the same question for the 58th time. Her flowing-like dance matched with such a beautiful woman.
"Taotao, when we return to Dragon City, can I treat you to a meal alone and go shopping?"
"No."
Gongsun Hao smiled awkwardly and didn't ask further.
As their injuries recovered, everyone turned their attention to their captain. In Huo Ziping's hand was an exquisite book wrapped in black leather, "Resident's Household Register: Dry Town."
Just like Han Dong, they had also completed a side quest called "House of Puppets" through Yu Wu's noise in the tunnel and obtained the same household register.

[Agility: E- (This attribute changes when controlling different puppets)]

Special Abilities:
[Absolute Puppet Creation]: B
Mary Shaw had turned all the residents of the town and their relatives into living puppets in her birthplace [Dead Silence World]. She had completed her ultimate revenge and her puppet making skills had reached the peak.
She could refine any form of life (including various monsters) into a puppet and inherit 80% or more of the original attributes. There was no limit to the number of puppets.
She had been invited by the mayor to settle down in Dry Town.
[Transfer]: B +
I'm a puppet.
Mary Shaw's consciousness was always in contact with the puppets she made. Her consciousness could be transferred without limit. There was no cooldown, no interval between transfers, and no side effects.
When Mary Shaw's consciousness was transferred to other puppets, she could use 100% of their power and use equivalent puppet spells.
[Don't Scream]: A-
When facing Mary Shaw and her puppets, the individual's Fear Points would continue to accumulate. Every time they were attacked by Mary Shaw, their Fear Points would increase by a certain amount.
When the Fear Points reached the Fear Tolerance Limit (depending on the individual), the individual would be forced to scream.
Forced trigger "Tongue Extraction" (Ignores distance, instant death).
The total amount of Fear Points would slowly decrease after leaving Mary Shaw's domain (the rate of decrease is related to the individual's willpower).
(Fear Points could be suppressed or offset by some special abilities, the individual's special mental state, and killing Mary Shaw's puppets.)
Inherent Equipment (Can't be dropped, can only be possessed by the corresponding town's residents):
[Tongue Devil's Stinger]
Grade: B-
Type: Living Weapon
Distance: 1 ~ 5 (can be extended)
A fleshy dagger formed from the tongues of all the residents of Ravensfield Town (Dead Silence World) and their relatives.
The dagger's basic damage was very low, but when the dagger touched an individual, it would accumulate a large amount of Fear Points, causing the individual to enter the prerequisite to trigger "Painful Tongue Extraction" in advance.
— 'Please be quiet when dealing with Mary Shaw!'
[Demon King Puppet]
Grade: B +
Type: Substitute Item
Image: A ventriloquist puppet with long hair, a red tie, a black suit, and a white shirt.
Distance: 1 ~ 20 (The maximum control distance is 1000m, but when it exceeds 100m, the Demon King Puppet's control will decrease).
The puppet that Mary Shaw used to perform ventriloquism when she was alive.
It had always been by Mary Shaw's side and gradually developed self-awareness … With every tongue extraction by Mary Shaw, the Demon King Puppet would obtain a certain amount of death essence from the deceased.
When fully activated, the Demon King Puppet could transform into a perfect clone of Mary Shaw. It could control other puppets and double the Fear Points.
[Comprehensive Resident Ranking]: No.18
"Resident … Ranked 18, and it actually has such strength. It seems that our trip to Dry Town will have to be planned carefully. "
