The puppets' stage play

Chapter 125 Hidden Rules and the Origin of the Profession

Shen Daoyan turned his head blankly, with deep shock in his eyes.

"Why....."

The yellow-toothed old man smiled bitterly and revealed the cold reality.

"There are so many reasons. If you weren't from inside, why would I protect you?" His face straightened, and his eyes were extremely serious. "Don't think too much of these people."

The old man with yellow teeth looked at the uncles and aunts with dull faces, his eyes full of indifference.

"They are all a bunch of scum. If it weren't for my secret instructions, you would have been killed by them long ago..."

Shen Daoyan looked at the amiable uncles and aunts in the past in shock, but... they all avoided his sight, with a faint ugliness on their faces, but they did not retort.

They then looked at the yellow-toothed old man with resentful eyes and uttered curses.

"Betrayer! Go to hell -" Before they could finish their words, they were interrupted by people from the Moyi brigade who showed their figures one after another. They had no choice but to close their mouths and look at this side angrily.

The old man with yellow teeth looked at all this indifferently, with no emotion in his eyes.

"No matter what you think of me, at least while I am hiding my identity, I act fairly and without favoritism, and I am conscientious towards you. I have a clear conscience in this matter."

He turned around, his face a little deep.

"It's time to wake up from the dream!" It seems to be warning others, and also seems to be telling myself.

Captain Lian Ying looked at all this calmly. He was just here to take back his previous backhand, and he wouldn't care about the specific methods.

"Confirm the target to annihilate, continue to search..." The faceless people looked around, walking around and searching every corner, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, looking for hidden monsters.

"In the end, I still relied on my identity to survive..." Shen Daoyan sneered, his eyes full of self-deprecation.

He reached out to touch the blood on his face. At this moment, he had already been let go of his hands and feet. He looked at the bloody pile in front of him, his eyes filled with despair.

"It is indeed a big dream..." He sighed, his eyes becoming firm, "Even so, some things will not change!"

Shen Daoyan looked directly at the uncles and aunts, his eyes shining with a compelling light.

"No one can decide their own origin. You may indeed have some malice towards me, but your care for me is also genuine. I can conclude that you are all human beings."

"They are definitely not inferior beings, but genuine human beings!"

His sonorous and powerful words made the elders and aunts look startled. A certain aunt who usually liked to tease Shen Daoyan the most had her eyes red and she felt a little wet.

"Xiao Shen......"

"I will not give up. No matter what means I use, I will change this situation." Shen Daoyan's eyes were full of realization, and his eyes were extremely focused.

"We are all born equal, and we should never be punished because of our predecessors! I seem to understand Gong Shoucheng a little bit."

There was a smile on his lips, and there was some kind of yearning in his eyes.

"Boring words, you still don't understand your true situation." Captain Lian Ying's cold words came, mixed with the yellow-toothed old man's somewhat unbearable gaze.

"There are hidden rules in this assessment. You don't think you can leave with this memory, do you?"

Shen Daoyan's body trembled and he looked solemnly, with a bad guess in his heart.

"Your results have actually come out. You sneaked into the enemy alone. No matter what the reason was, you did not trigger the backup plan left for you by the academy. You were given 400 points and 200 points respectively."

"Then you will be deducted 100 points for your way of obstructing the academy. Add in the basic bonus of 200 points for your participation, and your final score will be 1801."

Shen Daoyan remained silent, secretly calculating in his heart that just because of this, he would be ranked third behind Tu Lin.

"But this assessment is different from the past. It involves the real secrets of the academy, so there is a secret rule, which is..."

"Only the first and second placers in this assessment can retain the memory of this assessment. In other words - you are out."

The Mo Yi team member took out a statue-like object and pointed it at Shen Daoyan, whose pupils were dilated. Its eyes gradually became dull and its body fell to the ground.

Captain Lianying waved his hand, and the ink-clad team member grabbed Shen Daoyan's hand, and the figure disappeared into the air.

"Okay, it's time to deal with these scum." Captain Lianying turned around and looked at the uncles and aunts indifferently. He raised his arms and was about to order them to be killed.

The yellow-toothed old man grabbed his arm, with a hint of pleading in his eyes. Captain Lianying was silent for a moment and put down his hand.

"Old Wang, I can agree to your request this time, but at the same time I will accompany you to cleanse your memory. You have been too deeply affected."

"...Okay, I understand"

Lao Wang nodded heavily, looked at the crowd again, shook his head, and turned to leave.

"Grandpa Wang, we will never forget you!" came the hoarse, faintly crying voice of 'Little Flower' from the crowd behind her.

"Old Wang, thank you for your efforts over the years!"

"Me too, Lao Wang, I will never quarrel with you again..."

"..." Noisy shouts continued, and people were very excited.

Lao Wang's body trembled, his face couldn't help shaking, he gritted his teeth and left without looking back.

Captain Lian Ying looked at the crowd coldly, sneered, waved to the ink-clad team members to cleanse their memories, turned around and followed Lao Wang in front.

The ink-clad team members walked towards the crowd holding the statue, and the faceless people left the scene in an orderly manner and continued their search.

Qi Xiu calmly stared at the deserted street. The breeze picked up debris from nowhere on the ground. From time to time, there was the sound of the door being pushed open, mixed with people's cheers, and the subtle sound of sharp knives clashing.

"Master, what is a puppet?" A Shou followed closely, and finally couldn't restrain the doubts in his heart and asked.

Qi Xiu's footsteps did not slow down, his expression was a little calm, and he spoke words.

"This starts from the origin of my career."

"The profession of puppet master comes from a certain neutral world, but instead of choosing to make a contract with the servants and making progress together like I do now, some kind of armed puppets appeared there."

"They are extraordinary in appearance, and their bodies, similar to those of ordinary people, contain infinite potential. They have their own special abilities and different divisions of responsibilities, but they themselves are created bodies."

"Those who can control their actions are called puppet masters. They are the mainstream of that world, and our predecessors valued the prospects of this profession and 'borrowed' it."

Liduo was on the side, looking a little inexplicable, and the corners of her mouth were twitching.

She had actually heard the captain joke about it. It was not borrowing, it was almost like a bandit analyzing the basic composition of the opponent's profession and then optimizing it as their profession, so their reputation has always been bad.

After all, no one wants to see the profession they are proud of being treated like this, and they also feel the discomfort of being spied on, so they even had a fight with that world back then, but the result... she didn't quite know.

Qi Xiu glanced at Li Duo lightly. She had a tangled look on her face and didn't know what she was thinking.

"In the earliest days of our world, there were professions that imitated that world. People were once excited by the power of the profession, not to mention the fact that they had beautiful women accompanying them. It can be said to be an extremely enviable profession."

A Shou's face was flushed with anger, and he looked at Qi Xiu with trust in his eyes. The master would not indulge in such things!

"I actually don't care about that." Qi Xiu felt Mamoru's gaze and explained lightly, "But, over time, we found that this profession has huge flaws."

"The original puppet master is not very obvious in the early stage. He has powerful bodyguards and can quickly improve himself. It can be said that he can achieve multiple things with one stone." Qi Xiu sneered, "It's a pity that he is all contributing to others!"

Mamoru's pupils trembled and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Could it be? !

Qi Xiu didn't look sideways as he walked past a room where boxes and cabinets were being rummaged through. The faceless man walked out of it and continued to aim at the next room. He kicked open the door and a loud noise suddenly rang out in the room.

"The abilities of the dolls all come from their cores. Although the quality is different, there is even a god-level doll core, but we didn't care about it at first."

"Essentially, we just want to use this profession to quickly improve ourselves. Other things are not under our consideration, but the man behind the scenes is too much."

"It seems to be called the Puppet Witch. The profession of puppet master originated from her, and will eventually belong to her. They became stronger in the early stage, supporting the puppets step by step, and hollowing out the puppet master step by step."

"In the later stage, the puppet master will have nothing, and the puppet will have everything. And this is what that person wants to see. After all, she is also a puppet in essence."

"Several of our seniors were hollowed out and looked like empty shells, so we started the war, and finally..." Qi Xiu shook his head, obviously the situation was not optimistic.

"...We are determined to improve the puppet master profession and replace the puppets with various servants with special abilities, which are better and stronger than before! The original puppet master was abandoned, but that share But the skill of controlling puppets remains.”

"And I can also use that information to transform some substances into controllable puppets."
