Chapter 1652: Chapter 1496: Yin Yang Inn 52 (4,000 Characters)_2
The speed at which the two of them moved was exceedingly fast, and the beautiful puppet had just controlled its new host, thoroughly hiding its aura, preparing to hide for a while.
It was convinced that as long as it stayed quiet and did not reveal its whereabouts, relying on its expertise in concealing its aura, no one would be able to find it. Once the storm passed, wasn’t it free to do as it pleased?
Yet just as the beautiful puppet thought so, before it could control its host to hide, it found itself blocked from front and back by those two doom bringers.
Qi Shuangshuang and Luo Yao didn’t waste time with words, immediately launching an attack; the beautiful puppet’s skills were all in hiding, and its martial power was extremely weak.
It couldn’t stand up to any one of Qi Shuangshuang or Luo Yao, and now facing both together, it was finished. In a flash, it was pulled out and severed from its connection with the new host.
As per Qi Shuangshuang’s idea, after catching this thing, she intended Luo Yao to take it to the Underworld to wrap things up; she planned to just head back to the Yin Yang Inn and take a good few days’ rest after successive labor.
Unfortunately, Luo Yao was full of energy, and after capturing the puppet, he first dismantled all its tangled threads and limbs, preventing it from escaping.
Then he clutched the puppet’s head, sitting on the stone steps at the entrance to a shop in the Mortal World in the dead of night, and started interrogating the puppet.
Seeing this, Qi Shuangshuang rolled her eyes in an ungracious manner, compelled to sit by and accompany, for they were colleagues who frequently crossed paths, and it wouldn’t be good to leave him alone.
The puppet wasn’t one with resolute integrity, and with Luo Yao’s threat, it trembled and confessed everything. It didn’t even have ancestors up to eighteen generations, otherwise, Luo Yao could have interrogated them all out.
Four hundred years ago, there was an exceptionally remarkable puppet master whose crafted puppets were extraordinarily beautiful, nearly indistinguishable from reality, hence sought after by countless people.
This puppet was that puppet master’s most outstanding creation. Why was it the most outstanding? It was because of its appearance, beauty unmatched in the Mortal World.
Originally, the puppet master made this beautiful puppet at the request of a rich client, but after completing it, the master regretted it and was reluctant to give it away.
The puppet master was also a pervert; after crafting this rare beauty of a puppet, he deeply fell in love with his creation.
The puppet master began to express his love to the puppet daily, initially, his family didn’t pay it much thought, but upon realizing the issue, tried to dissuade the master from indulging in the puppet to no avail.
Speaking too much, the puppet master abandoned his wife, children, along with parents and relatives, choosing to live alone in the mountains with the beautiful puppet.
At first, he was merely obsessed with the puppet’s beauty, but over time, he grew dissatisfied with the puppet being merely a puppet, unable to communicate with him.
Thus, the puppet master made an incredibly insane decision, spending a great sum to hire an evil Taoist, asking for a way to turn his puppet into a monster.
The puppet master wished to transform his puppet into a real beauty, to live together, even if this beauty was a monster, he relished the thought.
The evil Taoist was indeed skillful, he devised a clever plan, drawing a monster-summoning array and placing the puppet within it.
Later, he let the puppet master use an Evil Technique to nourish the puppet, which required a considerable amount of living human blood to empower the puppet’s transformation into a monster.
To turn the puppet into a monster, the puppet master abducted people everywhere to provide blood for the puppet. Two years later, the puppet indeed gained consciousness, just a step away from becoming a demon.
But at this final step, the puppet master’s evil deeds were discovered, and enraged people frantically set both the master and puppet on fire intending to burn them alive.
Not having yet transformed into a monster, the puppet could only muster its meager power to escape. Although it fled, it lost its strength and the chance to become a monster.
This life-and-death scare must have terrified the puppet, although it couldn’t become a monster, it gained a new ability to hide its aura, preventing anyone from finding it.
Unwilling to simply remain a puppet after losing its chance to become a monster, the puppet took a drastic route, conceiving a way to continue its transformation into a monster by devouring human souls.
