Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 101 Station Ambush
Li Nanke, holding a bloody war hammer, walked alone onto the street after the rain.

The buildings along the street are quite Victorian in style, a blend of neoclassicism and Gothic styles. Not to mention the magnificent houses with pointed roofs, even the street lamps are carved with intricate patterns.

The mechanical puppets along the street had fallen to the ground, several horse-drawn carriages were tilted on the road, and some damaged old-fashioned gunpowder guns were scattered on the ground, making the whole place a mess.

You can get a glimpse of the bloody riots that once took place here, and the tragic scene of mechanical puppets slaughtering humans.

"Boom!"

The huge hammer smashed down, turning a twitching metal arm into a discus and completely quieting it down.

"The actual physical strength of these puppets is not very high, but with the blessing of the self-element, the metal body will become extremely tough, and both strength and speed will be greatly improved. Some powerful puppets can even derive unique abilities from this."

In terms of ego enhancement, humans are the same as robot dolls, but there are also differences, because only a very small number of people can truly use ego to become powerful "trackers".

Li Nanke looked back and saw that the street was empty. The Cunning Rabbit's stealth skills were so advanced that even he could not find any traces of being followed in such a short time.

He stepped into the station.

The remaining puppets in the ticket hall had all turned into cold wreckage, with smooth body cross-sections and neat cuts on the exposed black wires at the broken limbs.

There was a faint sound of fierce fighting coming from the platform behind. It should be the "Gray Rat" fighting with the giant puppet.

Li Nanke was not in a hurry and continued to wait in the ticket hall.

After waiting for a while, his ears moved, as if he had sensed something, and he immediately hid behind the ticket counter.

Soon, two figures came along the street and hurried into the station.

The man wore a black cat mask and the woman wore a red fox mask.

Seeing the remains of the puppets on the ground, the black cat said anxiously, "Red Fox, someone has gotten there before us, hurry up and get on the platform!"

"Don't worry..."

The red fox tilted his head and listened for a while, then continued, "There was no movement in the waiting room, but there was quite a lot of movement on the platform. The enemy hasn't finished the battle yet."

The black cat asked, "Why didn't I hear it?"

"You're hard of hearing... I heard there's a giant puppet on the platform that's very difficult to deal with. Let's wait and fight the pursuer in front for a while, and then we'll take action at the critical moment. It'd be best if we can deal with both sides."

The two of them waited silently in the ticket office. Black Cat seemed a little bored and suddenly asked:

"Red Fox, why do you think the employer needs that sleeping puppet?"

The red fox tilted his head and thought for a while:

"I heard that the puppet is very special. It has growth potential that other puppets don't have, and it seems there is no limit. If anyone can become the owner of that puppet, they will have unlimited possibilities."

The black cat sneered when he heard this:
"Hey, now that the puppets have violated the Great Contract and attacked humans, aren't you afraid of being the first to die as the master?"

The red fox retorted, "What can you think of that your employer can't think of? The employer must have a way to solve this problem."

As he spoke, the red fox lifted up his windbreaker and patted the small lantern hanging at his waist.

I saw a small blue butterfly dancing inside the lamp. The butterfly was made entirely of blue light, and it seemed that its essence was the materialization of particle elements.

"As long as we follow our employer's instructions and send this butterfly into the puppet's power heart, we can wake up the sleeping puppet and will not be attacked by it."

"The rest is not something we should worry about."

The two were talking when suddenly the red fox trembled and quickly pulled the black cat and said:
"Oh no, let's hide quickly. The enemy probably can't defeat the giant puppet and is fleeing here."

As the red fox spoke, he glanced around and saw the ticket counter that could serve as a natural cover.

She immediately pulled the black cat and hid behind the counter.

Li Nanke, who was hiding behind the counter with bated breath, twitched his eyes.

I couldn't help but curse inwardly: Why do you have to hide here with me when there are so many other places for you to hide?

He gripped the hammer handle tightly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to launch a thunderous attack.

Unexpectedly, Black Cat threw his hand and drew the long sword from his waist: "Why are you hiding? We will ambush him in front of the waiting hall door and attack him as soon as he shows his head. Don't worry about the puppet for now."

"Otherwise, if that person escapes, we will be in a passive position."

Time was running out, and the pursuer was fighting and retreating, and was almost reaching the waiting hall.

The red fox had no time to discuss anything and could only hide in front of the waiting hall door with the black cat, leaning against the door on the left and right to prepare for an ambush.

"Boom!"

Loud noises were heard in the waiting hall, and the heavy footsteps of a giant creature continued to be heard. The ground shook with every step, and dust fell from the roof.

As the sound of fighting got closer, a figure suddenly retreated quickly from the door of the waiting hall.

In an instant, the black cat and the red fox, which had been ready for action, launched an attack.

The long sword slashed across, dragging a star-like azure light curtain, beautiful and deadly.

Faced with the sudden attack, the gray rat was terrified and subconsciously raised his hand and knife to block the fatal sneak attack.

The swords collided, and the gray rat successfully blocked the sword attack, but a dagger had already attacked from the other side and stabbed into the heart.

The gray mouse's body stiffened, as if it had lost all its strength.

"Boom!"

The wind was howling as a huge iron hook fell from behind, smashing the human body standing there into a pool of meat paste.

A giant puppet that was three people tall squeezed out of the door and stepped on the flesh, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Its eyes glowed scarlet, its body was a cold, hard metallic color, and it held a huge, slightly rusty hook in its hand.

This giant puppet is a working puppet at the station. Its daily job is to use a hook to drag two train carriages and then connect them together.

The giant puppet, which already had terrifying power, became even more destructive after the riot got out of control!

"Come on!"

The black cat and the red fox looked at each other and knew that even if they joined forces they could not defeat such a huge monster, so they could only find a way to outsmart it.

Their figures flashed and they ran quickly towards the station gate.

As soon as they ran out of the station gate, the two of them tacitly ran away in different directions, one on the left and one on the right.

"Boom!"

The black cat fled to the side of the street, with the deafening footsteps of the giant puppet chasing after it, getting closer and closer.

With a glance, he saw in the distance that the red fox on the other side had turned around and sneaked into the station.

The black cat looked excited and ran as fast as he could.

He knew that the giant puppet moved very fast and would soon catch up, but the giant puppet had its own concept of "territory" and would stop chasing him as long as he ran a certain distance.

And the time of the chase was enough for his sister Red Fox to sneak safely into the station platform.

The red fox was agile and ran towards the station gate in two steps at a time.

She also knew that the giant puppet would soon give up the chase and return to the station, and she had to take advantage of the opportunity created by her brother Black Cat.

But as soon as he stepped into the station gate, a ferocious war hammer quickly expanded in his sight!

The sharp thorns on the hammer head were extremely sharp, dragging with them scorching hot flames, tearing through the air with a loud bang!
At the same time, a man's low command was heard: "Do it!"

A graceful figure suddenly leaped down from the signboard above the station gate, and two cold swords fell from the sky, with the slender swords shining with star-like azure light.

The red fox's eyes went dark, and the last thought in his mind was: It's over, I've been robbed by my own gang!
