Collapse, I am actually in the villain camp

The core of the Herrscher of the Void in his body instantly released Honkai energy, and the Sub-Void Spear condensed out of thin air fell directly from the puppet's body, deeply nailed into the ground, and locked the puppet to the ground.

"Classmate, what are you doing?" The puppet still had a weird smile on his face and asked Kiana.

Kiana ignored the other party's plan and quickly took out the communicator in her hand, ready to notify Li Wen to come over.

"Classmate, if you have anything to say, you can discuss it in a proper manner. There's no need to come up here and get physical like this."

Seeing that Kiana still didn't intend to pay attention to it, it sighed, "Why are young people nowadays so hot-tempered?"

As it spoke, it waved its arms and struggled to break free from the restraints of the Spear of the Archon.

However, it is just an ordinary doll, how can it withstand Kiana's full force?

The Spear of the Sky quickly stabilized under Kiana's control and continued to tightly bind its body.

Not long after, Li Wen, who received Kiana's message, quickly rushed to the scene.

"It seems the situation is simpler than we thought." Li Wen had a smile on his face.

He quickly approached the puppet that was already bound by Kiana, and then infused his power into it, isolating everything about the puppet.

Only then did he turn his head to look at Kiana and casually asked, "Did you find it directly in the office?"

"No." Kiana shook her head slightly, a hint of confusion on her face. "I was looking for relevant evidence in Professor Hoyes' office, but suddenly I heard a strange laugh, and when I went out, I found this doll."

"A weird laugh..." Li Wen rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought as he looked at the puppet in front of him.

It seems that the other party has taken the initiative to expose his whereabouts...

Did they not expect anyone to discover its traces, so they did not hide it at all, or did they do it on purpose?

After pondering for a while, Li Wen decided to take the other party to the salt lake base.

Under his own nose, he believed that the other party would not be able to cause any trouble.

But before that, he had one more thing to do.

Under Kiana's puzzled gaze, he turned slightly and walked straight to the flower bed on the right.

He stretched out his arm into the dense vegetation, and soon pulled out a comatose man in a white coat.

It was the first host of the Ruler of Domination - Lewis Hagen.

Now that the puppet and the host have been found, there is naturally no need for them to stay here any longer.

So, he called out to Kiana, "Let's go. It's time to go back."

Hearing this, Kiana nodded.

Seeing that there was no one around, she immediately used her power to create a wormhole in front of her.

Li Wen held Hoyes in one hand and the doll in the other and stepped directly into the wormhole.

……

After returning to the salt lake base, Li Wen and Kiana ran directly towards the laboratory.

Because they were not sure whether the wormhole would affect other people, they had a special room used as the target for teleporting into the salt lake base.

Therefore, there is still some distance from the laboratory.

Soon after arriving at the laboratory, Li Wen pushed open the door and walked in.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the three busy scientists turned their eyes over.

When they saw the doll in Li Wen's hand, the three of them widened their eyes slightly.

"Mr. Li Wen, your speed is much faster than I thought." Einstein took a deep breath and was very surprised by Li Wen's light-speed arrest.

"Thanks to Kiana's power, otherwise a lot of time would have been wasted just on the journey." Li Wen did not take the credit for himself.

He brought the host and the puppet in his hands in front of him, "Next, I'll trouble you two to take care of them."

"Leave it to us." Changguang responded immediately, then hurried forward and guided Li Wen to place the puppet in the fixed equipment.

Tesla gave Professor Hoyes a physical examination.

Seeing that the three doctors were busy, Kiana quickly handed the diary she had obtained earlier to Li Wen, "I found Professor Hoyes's diary in his office."

Hearing Kiana's words, Li Wen immediately became interested.

After all, if they had a diary as a record, they might be able to find out the changes in the host before and after being controlled by the Ruler of Domination.

Since Kiana handed over this diary so solemnly, it must contain some useful information.

So he took the diary and quickly flipped through it.

Although Einstein, Tesla, and Changguang also heard Kiana's words, because of the research at hand, they could only suppress their curiosity and continue with the work at hand.

Li Wen flipped through the pages quickly, taking in each piece of information.

After a long time, after reading all of Hoyes's diary, he fell into deep thought.

"The voice in the dream, the theater of domination, and the mysterious puppet... In other words, the Ruler of Herrscher manipulated his dreams..."

"But how on earth do those puppets do this?"

He frowned slightly, then quickly flipped through the previous debt records.

“Is it because of negative emotions?”

He felt that his speculation was more reasonable.

It was precisely because of his dissatisfaction with reality that Hoyes immersed himself in his own dreams and fell into an illusory carnival.

And according to the description below, as he immersed himself in the dream for longer and longer time, he seemed to have lost his memory of a certain period of time. After waking up, he found that he had an identical puppet substitute.

"In other words, the puppets gradually guide him into the dream through this method, and then in this process, they gradually replace the host's identity.

"When they have completely achieved control, the corresponding puppets will replace them and appear in the real world."

Chapter 112 Her "God" Appears

Li Wen thought for a moment, then took out his communicator and called Rita.

"Minister, what do you want me to do for you?" Rita's elegant figure appeared in front of Li Wen again.

Li Wen immediately ordered: "For all those who have been controlled by the Ruler of Domination, check for me to see if they have experienced any unpleasant things or a large amount of negative emotions before becoming the Ruler of Domination.

"Also, if there are people whose mental state has returned to normal, ask them if they have seen puppets and the Domination Theater in their dreams."

"Yes, sir. Do you have any other instructions?" Rita bowed slightly and asked again.

"That's all." Li Wen shook his head.

"I will send this information to you as soon as possible. Please wait a moment, Minister."

After saying that, Rita hung up the communication and immediately started her mission.

"Dr. Einstein." Li Wen turned his head and looked at Einstein.

"I understand." Einstein nodded and immediately sent out the relevant information, allowing the "Anti-Entropy" personnel to begin investigating the hosts in their hands.

……

While waiting for information, Tesla also completed the physical examination of Hoyles.

There was nothing wrong with the other person's body, but like other puppet hosts, he might have suffered some mental trauma, which caused him to still be in a coma.

So, as per usual practice, Tesla called a medical staff and took the other person away directly to a regular medical room for care.

Einstein and Changguang's research could not reach a conclusion in a short period of time.

Although there were a large number of samples obtained previously for comparison, as the first puppet, it contained too much information, and they did not dare to be careless at all.

Otherwise, a small mistake may lead to misjudgment, resulting in extremely serious consequences.

Li Wen continued to wait patiently, and soon, the information about those hosts from "Destiny" and "Anti-Entropy" was transmitted to his communicator.

As he took in each piece of information, he nodded slightly.

These data confirmed his guess.

Without exception, those hosts were in extremely negative emotions before becoming the hosts of the Ruler of Rule.

In the report given by Rita, two hosts who had already woken up personally said the words "Domination Theater" and "Puppet".

This made him even more certain that the Ruler of Herrscher would give priority to those who were desperate when selecting a host.

And through the mutual confirmation of these pieces of information, he could also confirm that the Domination Theater was the base camp of the Ruler of Domination.

Moreover, they seem to be able to independently choose who to pull into the theater of domination, just like ticket collectors.

He informed Einstein, Tesla and Changguang of his conclusion. The three nodded but said nothing.

They need to confirm the specific situation through the doll in their hands.

Seeing that the other party continued to immerse himself in research, Li Wen didn't say anything more and directly retreated with Kiana.

There are fewer elimination missions now, so the two took advantage of this rare opportunity to go back and rest.

Because they have been helping "Anti-Entropy" to garrison recently, the two of them also have their own dormitory at "Anti-Entropy".

After returning to the room, Kiana lay down comfortably on the sofa.

Originally, she just wanted to rest for a while, but somehow her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and then she gradually fell into a dream.

Space and time began to become undetectable, and even the boundaries of "self" gradually became blurred.

This was a feeling she was very familiar with. She had been dragged into dreams countless times with this feeling, and into the life of the girl named "Xilin".

……

"It hurts!" Wailing sounds continued to come out of his mouth, along with tears that blurred his vision.

The girl repeated the words over and over again, as if such wailing could ease the pain in her body.

"This experimental subject is no longer viable."

The experimenter's tone was extremely indifferent, as if he was just talking about something insignificant.

Amidst the sound of his footsteps, the girl's voice was still shrill.

"It hurts... Mom, it hurts...

"Mommy mommy……"

At this most painful moment, she called out the warmest name in her heart.

She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but while she was crying, she seemed to feel a pair of hands gently stroking her head, and the pain in her body was relieved a little.

As her body no longer felt so painful, the girl finally regained some strength.

She struggled to support her body and looked at the other children who had been "examined" with her.

"Aurora, Agatha, Bella, are you... okay?" She whispered the names of her companions.

However, the entire room was silent, and no one responded to the name she called as she expected.

With the help of the light in the corridor, she crawled forward a few steps with difficulty.

The pain, which had been relieved, returned.

She endured the pain and tentatively touched her partner's shoulder, but all she felt was a cold and stiff touch.

"Bella... Bella..."

The girl was familiar with that feeling.

When my mother left, her hands were also so cold.

This means that the companion called "Bella" by the girl will never wake up again.

"Bella... Bella... wuwuwu..."

The inner pain mixed with the physical torture, and the girl finally couldn't help crying.

Everyone here is an orphan, and their relatives died in the disaster.

An organization called "Destiny" adopted them and provided them with food and shelter.

For this payment, all they asked for was some inspections.
