Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 246 Murderous Intent on a Rainy Night

The difficulty level was the highest from the start, but this was in line with Zheng Fan's preferences. After all, his existence itself was inherently extremely difficult for other people.

If you put pressure on others, you should at least put some pressure on yourself.

However, they encountered a small problem not long after they started to take action.

Halfway through the journey, Zheng Fan suddenly revealed a strange smile: "Something is happening."

"Mr. Puppet, can you smile more normally when you talk?"

"Don't make a big deal about a handsome guy's smiling face."

“So don’t ruin your face and manage your facial expressions a little bit. Just like Radish.” The rabbi pointed to Radish next to him.

The raindrops were dripping down the radish's shiny, reflective head: "Drip...?"

"We'll talk about expression management later. There's a puppet moving around in the fog. It's not a guard puppet, but another puppet that is moving swiftly." Zheng Fan said.

"Mr. Puppet's fog also has a detection function?"

"Mr. Doll has many functions, just like a carrot, beyond your imagination. Anyway, a doll running at high speed on Hinton Street in the middle of the night is probably not a friendly thing."

"Catch up with him." The rabbi immediately became serious.

……

A slender puppet was running fast in the rain, but it seemed to have encountered some problems. Since it entered the fog in the rain, it couldn't tell the direction for some reason.

Its positioning components had lost their function, and its sense of direction and space seemed to be bleached out by the white fog. No matter how fast it ran, it could not escape.

"Drip...drip..."

Even the tentative communication signal could not be sent out, and the puppet's power core was already sounding an alarm.

Just when it had given up all means and was about to self-destruct to prevent itself from being captured by some existence, the view in front of it suddenly became clear.

It was speeding at high speed and suddenly left the foggy area. The sound of rain around it suddenly became louder, and the cold wind whistled across the body of the puppet.

It looked back and found that the thick fog it was originally in was only a thin rain mist. It seemed that the confusion it just felt was just an... illusion?
There were footsteps coming from the front, it was a patrol.

"The fog seems to be thinning a little?"

"Several teams were confused by the fog. The ones in white clothes said something was wrong and someone might have done it on purpose. They asked us to investigate the situation on the street."

"What bad luck! It's just a fog. Why are you making such a fuss?"

The puppet's body suddenly trembled, and its shape became transparent in the rain. The patrol team passed by it without noticing its existence.

It reappeared only after the team had passed.

Combine intelligence to judge the current situation.

There was something wrong with the fog, but it was probably not aimed at it. For safety reasons, it should abandon its intended mission and go directly to the York River at Hinton Street, where it would self-destruct and sink to the bottom of the river.

Now, whether going back or contacting the owner, there is a certain risk.

In order to avoid being exposed, the most important thing is not to implicate your master, so doing this is the safest way.

but……

The puppet seemed to be in a daze, and then it moved again, but the direction it was heading was not the York River, but a family's house.

It doesn't want to die.

Even if it contacts its owner now, based on its understanding of its owner, it may end up self-destructing according to its own predetermined plan.

If the mission can be completed successfully, then what happened tonight should be able to be pretended never happened.

As it was thinking, it had already arrived at the target mansion.

In the huge mansion, it is not difficult to find puppet security guards everywhere. A large number of surveillance cameras are hidden in every corner of the courtyard. Even the slightest bad movement around the house will be quickly discovered.

The high-end new-style mechanical dolls, which are expensive in the eyes of ordinary people, are servants that can be seen everywhere in this mansion.

But these can't stop it.

Its body entered stealth mode again, blocking all means of detection, and it leaped lightly into the mansion, then quickly shuttled through the mansion.

Coming to a dead corner, he paused briefly, scanned the building, looked for the easiest breakthrough point, and came to a rather dilapidated door.

This might be a passage used by servants. Compared to the bright and shiny outside, this place looks dilapidated and has an unpleasant smell.

The aging door lock was easily opened, and it entered the mansion and approached the target's bedroom.

Click——

Suddenly, a slight crisp sound made it turn around and look behind it. It saw that the door it came from was ajar, slightly opening and closing due to the wind outside.

impossible.

How could it make such a stupid mistake as forgetting to close the door?

The reconnaissance unit repeatedly scanned its surroundings, and finally detected a burly figure at the end of the corridor.

“Beep…”

Swish!
The moment the puppet spotted the figure in the shadow at the end of the corridor, it immediately took action. The other party was not a puppet of this family, otherwise when it was discovered, the other puppets in this mansion should have taken action together instead of just this one to block it.

Then the situation is not so bad.

Destroy this puppet as quickly as possible, and then continue the mission! The limbs of the two puppets collided quickly. The slender puppet looked like a graceful ballet girl, but the power it burst out was quite impressive. A thrust knocked the tall puppet's legs to the ground without moving, but it slid a distance.

"Dingding..." As mentioned before, the puppet that can carry out serial killings on Hinton Street is definitely not a simple creature.

The slender puppet did not give Radish any chance to breathe, and once it was repelled, it chased after him again.

Whoosh!
Radish's right arm suddenly turned into a heavy machete and swept forward. The slender puppet reacted quickly and leaned back, dodging Radish's attack with a graceful waistbend, then stood up and punched Radish with both hands.

Bang bang bang!
A series of muffled sounds echoed in the corridor, but this time, Luobo, who was more prepared, stood firm. After being hit, his body only shook slightly and he did not take a single step back.

“Beep…”

During this brief stalemate between the two puppets, their power cores were working quickly to analyze each other's situation.

The slender puppet was very surprised that his fierce attack could not shake the tattered puppet in front of him, who was wearing an old military uniform from more than half a century ago.

The material of the opponent's body clearly did not have any unexpected parts, and it could even be seen that the splicing was very messy. However, the hardness of the body was so high that even this body made of the latest material and with excellent action modules could not be beaten.

Fortunately, the opponent was relatively slow. This stupid big guy could only be so tough even if he was tough enough.

And Radish quickly learned all about the slender doll.

The body material is the latest alloy, which is light and thin yet hard and tough. The action module is excellent, and it is as light and agile as a deadly dancer. It is indeed a puppet born as a killer.

Radish has not yet adapted to his current body. Even compared with his peak in the past, it is very different. Here, it is like a cat playing with a mouse and he really has no way to do anything to the other party for a while.

“Beep…”

"Oh? My turn?" Zheng leaned forward.

"Dingding..." Luobo quickly confirmed.

I can talk about it later after I get familiar with the body, but there is no time to waste now. This body still needs to rely on Zheng Fan's control.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fan did not hesitate and directly possessed the body.

I felt it last time. Maybe it's because of the mechanical doll or maybe it's because it and Rabbi have two bodies but one mind. Compared with the first three machines, Radish's resistance to the damage caused by Zheng's counter-possession is much higher.

Previously, Jiang Si suddenly had some problems due to frequent possession, which made Zheng Bufang pay more attention to this matter.

But at least here his possession is much more unbridled.

The red light on the face suddenly switched to grayish white, and the smooth face cracked open with a hideous crack, and the invisible shadow in the shadow was split into two.

The atmosphere has changed.

The killer puppet noticed something unusual, and the next moment, the originally slow-moving big guy suddenly changed his movements, and the iron fist hit its face at a speed that the puppet could not react to.

boom!
Almost got his head smashed by a punch!
The fragments fell to the ground, the head was mostly shattered, and the reconnaissance parts were damaged. Danger! Danger!

"Hacked." Then he saw gray-white waves spreading out in all directions.

When it swept over the killer puppet, it only felt its power core tremble violently, but that was all, no other changes happened to it.

It turned out to be a hacking ability. Few puppets would have this function installed. It would take up too much of the puppet's power core and the algorithm requirements were extremely high. If the hacking ability was installed, the puppet's other aspects would most likely be half-crippled. There was a limit to how much content a power core could hold.

Even if the mind puppet exceeds the capacity limit of the power core to a certain extent, the hacking ability is a very low practical ability compared to various functions, because it is not certain that it can be hacked in, and even if it can be hacked in, it is not certain that there is time.

This is another abnormality of the strange doll in front of us.

While supporting this huge and heavy body in combat, it also has a hacking function?

Even for a mind puppet it's too exaggerated!
However, as a killer puppet, it naturally has anti-hacking capabilities. Although its firewall did not seem to sense the intrusion of any abnormal data just now, the hacking of it should not have been realized anyway.

Zheng Fan was also stunned for a moment.

"Failed?"

More than a failure, the hack he performed with the carrot body didn't seem to recognize the killer doll as a target at all. It just poked it a few times and then passed it by.

After a moment of stunned silence, Zheng Fan quickly realized the reason.

"You are a mind puppet." He spoke dully using the body of a carrot.

The killer puppet paused, then suddenly rushed towards "Carrot" again.

"Carrot"'s right hand switched again. Zheng Fan still preferred this body to an axe rather than a machete!
The wall of the narrow corridor was torn apart by the giant axe. The speed of the movement was completely different from before, and the killer puppet's movements were predicted. The giant axe and its body met perfectly in mid-air, cutting into its body and getting stuck inside.

The axe smashed its body to the ground. "Carrot" dragged itself slowly a few steps, opened the window, and threw it out of the window with a wave of its hand.

The killer puppet landed in the rainy courtyard in a miserable state.

With such a big commotion, the mansion, which seemed to be under strict security from the outside just now, fell into an eerie silence.

Nourishes—

Suddenly, gray signal lights lit up in the surrounding darkness.

The killer puppet slowly climbed up from the mud on the ground, his heart sinking completely.

It turns out that it’s not that these things don’t react.

Although the hack just now failed to hack it, there are too many other dolls in this mansion that can be hacked.

boom.

A tall puppet in military uniform walked out of the house, and the mansion's security guard puppets gathered around it, like soldiers under its command.
