The red moon returns

Chapter 448 Substitute Puppet

???

Why does this voice behind me sound so familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere before?
Am I hallucinating because I'm excited?
All the sadness and grief were suddenly held back in my heart, and the grief and tears that were half brewing were frozen halfway.

Lynch didn't care about anything else for a moment. He turned his head suddenly, and then fell into a state of complete petrification with his mouth wide open.

A familiar tall figure also fell down behind him.

Officer Natalie Angell looked as if she had just woken up. She glared at Lynch with an angry look on her face and shouted, "Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you going to let me sleep?"

But just after she finished shouting, she seemed to suddenly remember something. A confused look appeared on her face. She was stunned for a second, and then she slapped the place on her body where she was pierced before.

What happened? Wasn’t she torn to pieces?

What happened? Wasn’t I torn to pieces?

The two of them stared at each other blankly, both looking unintelligent, and then looked back to their previous position in a daze.

Time passed in a flash, and the fragments of the body were still hanging on the tentacles, especially the pale head with its eyes open, swaying in the air with the shaking of the tentacles. It was definitely Natalie.

However, the next moment, all the body parts began to shrink and shrivel at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming like dead wood, especially the pale human head, which continued to shrink and eventually shrank to the size of an apple, and looked more and more familiar.

Human-faced fruit.

Officer Natalie looked as if she had realized something and felt her pocket. Sure enough, the doll that Dr. Swan had given her was gone.

[Substitute puppet, when the main body dies abnormally, it will swap with the main body, and the main body will be completely resurrected behind the friendly army]

At this moment, not only was she unharmed, even her clothes were not damaged, her whole body was intact. In comparison, the idiot next to her, whose body and face were covered in blood and a piece of warm internal organs was hanging from his ear, looked even more miserable than her.

But the fool soon came to his senses. He had a lot of things to say, but that was not what he should do when facing a powerful enemy. All his words could only turn into a tight hug.

We’ll talk about it later. His eyes have already turned to the enemy.

In a few seconds, the soldiers had completely merged into a tumor with waving tentacles, like a physical version of Mordiggian. However, this monster did not show any tendency to attack others, but instead kept wriggling. Right above the tumor, a mass of something was bulging outwards as it moved, gradually taking on a human shape.

During the interval between the tumor monster's attacks, no one else took the opportunity to attack. Diana stood in front of Lynch and Natalie to protect the two stunned people, while Judy was responsible for taking over the control of the outermost firewall to prevent the newly arrived citizens from running around or mixing in with the crowd queuing outside.

But she was overthinking. At this time, the atmosphere in front of the fortress gate became quite strange. Although people instinctively stayed away from the tumor, both the citizens and soldiers inside and outside the fortress focused on Dr. Swain, and their expressions became quite strange.

Just now, in order to rescue Lynch as quickly as possible, Dr. Swain had to restore his original form. As a result, people saw that their beloved doctor suddenly turned into a zombie with sharp teeth and claws, tall and ferocious, which was creepy to look at.

It was so unexpected that the citizens even forgot to be frightened for a moment and just stared at the ghoul doctor blankly, until the scary ghoul roared at them:
"What are you looking at, you idiots? Who is more terrifying, me or it? If you want to live, hide behind us and squat. If you dare to run around, I will bite you to death."

You're more scary.

However, the ferocious and vicious tone was too familiar, and it actually called back the citizens' rationality. The citizens looked around timidly, and actually obediently went around behind the ghoul and huddled together, leaving the front to...

call.

Several tentacles chased after them. They were the tentacles of the tumor that had recovered its movement. Looking at the tentacles chasing after them, the few citizens who were running at the end regretted that they hesitated for a few seconds and ran a step slower. They could only scream in despair. Then they saw a petite figure suddenly blocking in front of them, kneeling on one knee, with his palm pressed on the ground.

[Power: Protection, Ability: Wall of Faith]

An invisible wall flashing with white light rose from the ground in front of the Countess, followed by a few muffled bangs, and seven or eight tentacles took turns hitting the wall and bounced back. At the same time, Miss Diana's body shook and she staggered back.

The last few citizens fled quickly as if they had been pardoned, but at the same time two tentacles had silently reached out to the retreating Countess and went straight through her chest.

But no blood flowed out, as if passing through a phantom. At some point, Lynch had been holding an hourglass and pointing it at the Countess. In the refuge outside of the time of wonders, you can never hurt a phantom that is free from time.

The next moment, the sword flashed and cut in half. The two tentacles broke off and fell to the ground, twisting like snakes for a moment before turning into a pool of festering rotten meat.

Natalie and Lynch have gotten over the shock and returned to the battlefield as soon as possible.

"Roar~~"

The transformation of the tumor was finally completed, and half of a ghoul's body grew out of the tumor. As the ghoul roared to the sky, hundreds of tentacles extending from the tumor popped out at the same time, sweeping towards everyone like a barrage of bullets.

Damn it.

Lynch's scalp tingled as he watched, but Dr. Swen, who had not moved but just muttered something, suddenly stepped forward and raised his hand in front of him.

[Secret Technique: Nak-Tit Great Prison Technique]

A hemispherical barrier was placed around the zombie. It was a hazy light with no physical existence. However, all the tentacles that hit the barrier were like hitting a shield and were bounced back without exception.

The magical effect made Lynch unable to help but glance at her. How could this guy have so many weird secret methods? Why not take a look at the Book of the Dead after finding it?
Dr. Swen had no idea what Lynch was thinking about. She maintained her secret method, raised her head, and looked at the zombie growing on the tumor.

"Father, what did you do?" The ghoul's face was expressionless, but from his voice, he could sense that Dr. Sven was not at peace. "You actually…"

"You didn't expect it, my daughter. I awakened it with the power of the Lord. Conceptually, I am also its father. My flesh and blood and life can replace that idiot Jackson. It's just a little more troublesome. Now, as long as I absorb all the souls in this city, the Lord's will can return to this world." The ghoul's tone was full of madness, and he laughed wildly, "You have caused me countless troubles, but the final killing has begun. You can't stop me this time."

"I won't let you do something so crazy." Dr. Swen turned to Lynch and said softly, "You have helped me so much, but I still need you to help us one more time."

"You said."

Dr. Swain's lips moved slightly, but the four people could not hear the sound, but in their consciousness, it seemed as if a piece of information was deeply imprinted in their memory.

That was exactly the spell and usage of the secret magic of the Great Prison of Nak-Tite that she was maintaining. It could combine the power, will, and spirit of many people to create a spherical barrier with both physical and mystical effects for dual defense. It could be used to defend itself or to imprison the enemy.

In just a moment, the four of them had learned this secret method.

"I can deal with him, but it will take some time to prepare the secret method and I cannot be disturbed. I need you to maintain this prison for me to trap him. I will transfer the control to you now."

The four of them only felt their spirits tense up, and the tumor's crazy attack on the barrier had already hit their wills. Lynch frowned and united the four people's spirits to push forward.

At the same time, Dr. Swain had no doubt whether Lynch and the others were willing to help. He had already let go of his control, opened the stone box he was carrying, took out the Book of the Dead, held the book in his left hand, pressed his right hand on it, cast a firm gaze at his father on the other side of the barrier, and began to chant obscure and strange spells aloud.
