The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Chapter 96 A Clumsy Probe? The Dolls Attack!

"Senior sister, are you asleep?"

Lu Yan's voice came again, and Yao Qing couldn't help but blush.

This idiot, speaking so loudly, aren't you afraid of being heard by others?

Thinking of this, Yao Qing immediately straightened her clothes and got up to open the door.

But the moment her hand touched the doorknob, she suddenly stopped.

Even though there was a door between them, she could still sense a slightly eerie atmosphere.

Thinking about it carefully, although Lu Yan had also done things like looking for her in the middle of the night, he would never have used this tone!

"Senior sister, are you asleep?"

The sounds from outside the door came again, but this time they were tinged with more irritation.

This confirmed Yao Qing's suspicions.

The person standing outside the door is definitely not Lu Yan!

Upon realizing this, Yao Qing immediately became alert, her alluring mental energy stirring restlessly, ready to take control of the enemy at any moment. "Bang bang bang—!"

The enemy outside the door seemed to have completely lost patience and began to pound on it forcefully.

The force was so great that it seemed capable of breaking down the gate.

"boom--!"

Finally, with a loud bang, the door was kicked open and a dark figure entered.

Yao Qing's eyes narrowed, and she immediately released a mental attack, but it was directly dissolved by a mysterious force before it even arrived.

"It didn't work?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Yao Qing took out the Pleasure Card and was about to activate its ability.

"Senior sister, it's me."

Lu Yan walked in from outside, carrying a body that looked exactly like him.

"You—are you really Lu Yan?"

Yao Qing looked suspicious and did not believe it easily.

Who knows if this is a tactic orchestrated by the enemy to mislead her?

Lu Yan was speechless and too lazy to explain. With a gentle pinch of his right hand, he snapped the imitator's neck.

They're disturbing the peace late at night, and they keep repeating the same old thing over and over again. Can't these guys be a little more creative?

But at that moment, Lu Yan suddenly felt a tightness in his hand, as if something had wrapped around it.

His eyes narrowed, and a golden cross appeared in his pupils, clearly revealing what was wrapped around his hand.

They were actually transparent threads, like fishing lines on a fishing rod, or like the strings in a puppet show.

These threads, as if alive, quickly emerged from the imitator's body and attempted to penetrate Lu Yan's body.

No matter how hard they tried, they could not break through Lu Yan's skin defenses.

As the threads left, the imitator gradually transformed into the appearance of a strange man, and then into the appearance of a doll.

"Is he a superhuman? Or a follower of the evil god?"

Lu Yan frowned slightly, his internal energy surging, which shattered the silk thread.

Only now did Yao Qing finally believe that the person in front of her was the real Lu Yan.

"Lu Yan, what exactly happened?"

Looking at the strange corpse on the ground, Yao Qing subconsciously moved closer to Lu Yan.

"have no idea."

Lu Yan shook his head, seemingly lost in thought.

He had already sensed the unusual atmosphere outside the door with his mental power, and there was not a single living person in the entire mechanical fortress except for him and Yao Qing!

But who could quietly resolve Sequence 6 of Xiao Yiren and the other two's original paths?

"Is this a test? It's far too clumsy."

After a moment's thought, Lu Yan pulled Yao Qing along and walked outside.

The situation inside the mechanical fortress is currently unclear, and staying here would only put us at a disadvantage.

Whether this was a test arranged by Xiao Yiren or a genuine accident, they could not stay here.

However, after walking a short distance, the two stopped.

They were surrounded.

At both ends of the walkway, countless dolls had been standing, completely blocking their escape route.

These puppets are either empty-handed or armed, and so on.

But all of them demonstrated abilities that only extraordinary individuals possess.

Clearly, these puppets were made by superhumans!

"These are followers of the Puppet God, and only they would do something like this!"

Yao Qing seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but exclaim.

The Mysterious Puppet?

Lu Yan glanced at them briefly and found that most of the puppets were Sequence 9 or Sequence 8, with only three being Sequence 7.

But he could vaguely sense that there seemed to be an even more powerful aura hidden among these puppets.

Is it really possible for someone to control so many superhuman puppets at the same time?

Or is it that a large army has arrived?

[The Grandmaster of Weapons detected a strong killing intent and has activated the Weapon Tomb for a counterattack.]

[Dr. Alchemy is analyzing methods to break the puppet's control —]

The Nightmare Shepherd is following the threads of the puppets to find the one controlling them.

The executioner is sharpening his knife, ready to carry out the execution!

The bloodthirsty shaman secretly lays out a trap, waiting for his victim to walk right into it.

"Senior sister, hide behind me."

Lu Yan instinctively tried to shield Yao Qing behind him, but Yao Qing avoided him.

"Junior brother, you seem to be underestimating your senior sister a bit too much~"

Yao Qing rolled her eyes, and [Joy] quietly activated, releasing countless threads of emotion that landed on the group of puppets.

Dolls normally have no emotions, but Yao Qing sensed strong emotional fluctuations from these people.

It's even more intense than for a normal person!

She suspects that these dolls were actually made from living people.

Yao Qing's mind raced, and she manipulated the puppet's actions through the threads of emotion.

However, it was met with strong resistance.

This resistance comes not only from the soul, but even more so from the puppet's body.

For a moment, the puppets neither moved forward nor obeyed Yao Qing's order to retreat, remaining frozen in place.

"Senior sister, let me do it."

With a thought, Lu Yan sent the Dawnbreaker Spear and its sword case emerging from the Ghost Realm and landing in front of him.

"Dawn, Wind Spirit, Ice River, Thunderclap, go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Dawnbreaker Spear flew out first, like an indomitable knight, directly cleaving through the puppet ranks.

The three swords in the sword box followed closely behind, transforming into three-colored sword rainbows that circled around the Dawnbreaker Spear.

The wind is sharp and piercing, the icy river is frigid, and the thunder is domineering.

Combined with the unparalleled piercing power of Dawn, the puppet army in front of the two was no match for them.

Upon seeing this, the puppet on the other side immediately went to help, but then saw seven strange figures suddenly blocking their way.

Nature is the seven emotions and their strangeness.

The Yin-Yang Ghost, half sun and half moon, slowly walked towards the puppet. Wherever it passed, the transparent threads were either scorched by the sunlight or purified by the moonlight.

The Impermanent Demon was even more direct, wielding a wind blade as he charged into the puppets, and with a flick of his wrists, the puppets all shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.

Seeing that things were not going well, the puppets tried to get away from the two ghosts, but the Earthly Ghost appeared in the group of puppets at some point, emitting a faint dark golden light.

The doll was illuminated by the dark golden light, and its body suddenly seemed to be suppressed by something, making it unable to move.

A few who managed to escape the light were also affected by the remaining four demons, losing control of their bodies.

All seven emotions are Sequence 7, and dealing with these low-level opponents is not even a warm-up.

Especially when facing the dolls, the cowards instinctively backed away, as if they had seen something incredibly terrifying.

On the contrary, the coward's body gradually grew larger and larger as the fear around it increased.

Suddenly, the coward's body trembled and then transformed into the appearance of a man dressed in royal robes.

[Sequence 7 - Mysterious - Yama's Deception: Yama's Deception materializes what the enemy fears.]

"Have cowards become Yama, the King of Hell?"

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow; this was an unexpected gain.

Moreover, even though both are Sequence 7, Yama's abilities are clearly a level above Coward's.

Cowards can only show their enemies what they fear most, which is still a form of psychological attack.

However, Yama can directly summon that terrifying creature, and the difference between them is self-evident.

Sure enough, the moment the Yama Demon took shape, a bunch of strange creatures appeared out of nowhere in the passage and rushed toward the group of puppets.

In just a short while, the groups of puppets on both sides of the passage were forced into retreat.

All of this stems from Lu Yan's power.

"You're getting more and more of a pervert—"

Seeing that Lu Yan had resolved a crisis without moving an inch, Yao Qing's gaze towards him became increasingly infatuated.

Although she had witnessed Lu Yan slaying the Mountain-Moving Dragon Ape once before, Yao Qing still couldn't help but be captivated by Lu Yan's incredible feat again.

But Lu Yan's attention had already shifted elsewhere.

"One, two—ten—thirty—it really is a large group?"

Lu Yan was speechless; he was now basically certain that this was not an assessment at all.

After all, no assessment could possibly attract so many followers of the cult.

"So, where did those three go?"

Lu Yan sighed softly, and the golden cross phantom in his eyes suddenly transformed into the shape of a military tomb, attacking the puppeteers along the silk threads.

"ah--!"

Screams echoed from outside the mechanical fortress, the victims wounded by the killing intent of the military strategists, their souls broken.

Seeing that something was wrong, the puppeteers scattered and fled in all directions, but Lu Yan did not give chase. Instead, he turned his attention back to his imitator.

Without any warning, Lu Yan's blood and energy suddenly erupted, and he charged towards the imitator like a cannonball.

Yao Qing was puzzled, but then she saw another figure suddenly emerge from the corpse of the imitator and confront Lu Yan head-on.

"There's someone hiding inside? And that aura—"

Yao Qing covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, but without hesitation, she activated the Joy Card to intercept the other party.

If she wasn't mistaken, this aura was clearly Sequence 6!

A Sequence 6 soldier, leading so many Sequence 7 and Sequence 8 minions, ambushed them, and then pretended to be dead?

Is this guy out of his mind?

Yao Qing was filled with anxiety. Even though Lu Yan had defeated a Sequence 6 beast, the Messenger of the Mysterious God was not something that beasts could compare to.

A Sequence 6 messenger of the evil god, only someone with the strength of my father could defeat him!

That's the only way!

Yao Qing seems to have made a decision to awaken some kind of power within the Joy card.

But at that moment, she witnessed an astonishing scene.

That Sequence 6 Ghost God Messenger was actually sent flying by Lu Yan's punch!
