Chapter 186
Ian knew his identity, he was just a gatekeeper, not a king.

Ms. Du Jia treated him kindly out of politeness, but if he really enforced the law violently, his reputation would be ruined. In the eyes of others, not to mention a plummet, it would be about the same.

"Since it's legal, I'm relieved."

Before leaving, Ian took away the confused Alice, and glanced at the chuckling Ms. Du Jia from the corner of her eye.

Ms. Du Jia didn't want to say it, but she didn't show hostility, otherwise Ian would perceive it.

Perhaps, the other party did not lie, but was just unwilling to disclose his secret.

This is why Ian took Alice away.

Alice has the memory of Ms. Du Jia before she was 16 years old. Through Alice's answer and comparison between the two, you can find out who lied.

Ian walked out the door.

"President." Brandon stepped forward and asked, "Did the puppeteer answer anything?"

Ian shook his head.

Brandon frowned slightly: "Maybe we can use special means?"

"That's not necessary."

Ian refused.

Special means refers to violent law enforcement, but the problem is that they are not qualified, and it is better to act covertly than blatantly and arrogantly.

He has a way.

"Disband."

……

……

Alice was in a bad mood. She was a puppet, and she already felt a little inferior.

This time it was identified as a "monster that may be a disaster from the dead", not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

This is a direct change from a friend to an enemy, and he is almost killed on the spot.

Ian pushed the door open and entered, still performing maintenance work. The amount of exercise today is light, not as cumbersome as yesterday.

He unbuttoned Alice's clothes, but was only slightly blocked by the other party.

But Alice knew it was useless, and now Du Jia had put her away.

"The gatekeeper, the doll...is it really a monster?"

She asked.

"This question hasn't been answered yet. Maybe it's just that the dead puppet is controlled by the necromancer disaster. It's still uncertain."

Ian replied: "You don't need to think about it, I still need your help."

Alice was taken aback.

She raised her face and looked directly into Ian's eyes: "Help?"

"By using the memory in your mind, let's steal some information."

Ian said that Alice's expression gradually stiffened.

She was familiar with the structure of the mansion, but it was the first time that she brought outsiders to steal.

A little criminal?
But anyway, Ian has made up his mind.

He started the information masking of the sequence ability "Unknowable", covering himself and Alice's information.

Alice is a puppet like Grizzly, not a real free unit, but his summoned puppet.

The two got the bonus of the sequence ability, took advantage of the night, and sneaked into Ms. Du Jia's mansion.

Ian climbed over the wall first, and it was very easy. His agility and strength attributes were very high. He jumped over the wall and turned over, and he climbed over the outermost high wall.

Others are coming, but there is a puppet lady outside.

Alice stood on the ground stupidly, looking up at Ian who was sitting on the edge of the four-meter-high wall.

Ian tilted his head: "Come up soon?"

Alice suddenly felt guilty and shrank her head:
"You... Even if you let me climb the wall, I'm just an ordinary puppet..."

With a low-quality puppet like her that has to be maintained after walking a few steps, how could it be possible for her to climb over the wall so easily like Ian? Isn't it difficult for a puppet?
Ian noticed this.

Sighing, he took the rope from his backpack and let it hang down the wall.

"Hold on tight, I'll pull you up, that's all right."

He has long been accustomed to the superhuman ability of going to heaven and earth.

Suddenly, I met Alice, whose physique was worse than ordinary people, she was almost a 60-year-old grandmother.

Only then did Ian realize that he had become stronger.

Alice grabbed the rope and tried to climb up with her feet on the wall, but she forgot about gravity—she was wearing a skirt.

Ian pulled her up vigorously. After rising to a height of three meters, he grabbed Alice's left hand and pulled her to the high wall.

The cool wind blowing under the moonlight, Ian looked into the mansion, but Ms. Du Jia didn't turn on the light.

Some dolls patrolling autonomously roam the yard.

Their eyes are ruby, shining red at night, and their temperament suddenly becomes a little creepy.

When Ian sees the ruby ​​now, he thinks of the "dirty spiritual gem" in the pile of meat.

I have to admit that the pile of meat is most likely a doll, and the power of natural disasters has polluted the spiritual gem.

"Let's go, be careful."

Ian turned on Eagle Vision and actively marked the puppet as an enemy, so that he could perceive their warning range.

Around the center of the grizzly bear doll, all within 10 meters are dangerous areas, and you will be attacked by grizzly bears after entering.

Alice didn't know how to sneak in, so she was dragged to the workshop by Ian ignorantly.

click -

Ian first used dark crawling to create darkness, pushed open the door, and the two entered quietly.

The maids in the mansion have already rested, and the puppets are standing at the edge of the corridor, monitoring everything in the mansion.

"Is the house inspection so strict?"

asked Ian.

Alice nodded in Ian's arms: "It seems that due to the misoperation of a certain Patriarch of the previous generations, he was killed by the puppet, and the Patriarchs after that are very cautious."

"They will divide the dolls into several teams, so that even if one team loses control, the other dolls can protect them."

There are burning candle lamps on both sides of the corridor, shining a faint light, and various bookshelves are placed on both sides.

The information concealment of Ian's "unknowable" is only effective for targets whose level and sequence are lower than his own.

Ms. Du Jia's strength is very strong, he needs to move lightly.

Open the cabinet.

Alice helped Ian search for the information he needed based on the memory in his mind.

She's kind of weird... isn't it?
This is her home, even if her mother doesn't like her, she shouldn't help Ian...

"did you find it?"

Ian put his hand on the counter so that it would not shake and make a sound, and his large body enveloped Alice, giving her a sense of security.

Alice took out a manuscript from the back of the counter, handed it to Ian, and stared at his face in a daze.

She really wanted to be an ordinary human woman, and Ian was willing to help her when her mother ignored her...

This is enough.

She is not a grizzly bear, and she will definitely carry out orders when she gets them, and she will never disobey her master's orders.

She is a better doll, and she has the right to act according to her own will.

zizi——

The golden spiritual gem hidden in Alice's body burst into sparks at this moment and began to glow slightly.

Ian finished reading the manuscript.

The harvest is very small, which shows the bold attempt of the previous Patriarch in puppetry.

She bought some prisoners on death row, and through human experiments, she found out the flaws of classical puppetry and improved them.

The previous Patriarch thought this way:
"Since our ambition is to create humans, we need to understand humans... even more than puppets."

Ms. Du Jia probably inherited her mother's ideas.

Human experiments?

Ian thought about it, and turned his gaze to another cabinet.

The two of them were cautious, always paying attention to the movement in the dark.

There was a lock on the cabinet. Ian guessed that there were important materials in it. He handed the manuscript to Alice and asked her to put it back in its original position to prevent Ms. Du Jia from discovering the abnormality.

Ian needs to pick the lock. He observes the lock cylinder, it looks very strange...he can't pick the lock at all!
What's going on here?
Ian and Alice looked at each other, and Alice understood what Ian meant, and she pointed to the potted plant at the end of the aisle.

Ian asked in a low voice, "Do you know where the key is?"

Alice nodded and took Ian to fetch it.

The memory in her mind told her that the knowledge of previous generations of Patriarchs was locked in the cabinet, and those were very precious.

She came to the potted plant, pressed a protrusion next to it, and a small wooden drawer was pushed out from under the cabinet.

In the drawer, there is a golden long-handled key.

It is it.

Alice handed the key to Ian like offering a treasure, feeling relaxed, and let go of the hand holding the button.

At this moment, a silver cross spike protruded from the side of the potted plant, about to pierce Alice's neck.

No.

Alice panicked immediately. Once she was broken, maybe her mother would not choose to repair her, but choose to abandon her...

The diamond-shaped silver spikes almost touched her skin, and Alice raised her head.

She saw a hand reach out and hold the spike.

call--

The wind gradually picked up, and the passivity of Way of the Vagabond helped Ian resist this injury, and the spikes retracted automatically.

"Be careful, decades have passed, and it is normal for there to be changes in the mansion."

Ian said that Alice grabbed his hand in fear and was relieved to find that there was no wound on it.

"It's the Magic Nail." She said heavily, "It's a trap used to attack mages."

Mages generally have magic shields, but the magic nail will break the magic shield, cause damage to the mage, and poison the mage.

This is a very dangerous trap, but it can be seen everywhere in the mansion.

The warm mansion in her memory, is this what it really looks like?
With the key, Ian opened the locked cabinet.

The cabinet is also full of stacks of manuscripts, and Alice, who knows how to do puppetry, needs to classify them.

This is something that requires patience. Alice tensed up and handed over the defense to Ian.

The manuscripts were opened one after another, and Alice took them into her eyes.

Ten minutes later, she put down the book, took a deep breath, and handed the compiled records to Ian.

Ian looked at this part of the information and became surprised.

It's actually... an upgraded version of the magic thread?
The name is "Puppet Control Silk Thread", which literally means strengthening the ability to manipulate dolls.

Learning does not require skill points, and will replace the original magic thread skills.

Ian chooses to learn, he needs to try his skills, and his eyes are on the grizzlies and pigeons in the aisle.

"Test, use it on me."

Alice tugged at the corner of Laian's clothes: "The puppet control thread may fail, and even if it succeeds, it will trigger the alarm left by my mother in advance."

The puppets inside and outside the mansion all have built-in alarm capabilities, and they will call the police immediately whether they are destroyed or the enemy is detected.

They broke in secretly, and they need to investigate the puppet art in depth tonight, so they can't be exposed now.

"it is good."

Ian put his heart away, raised a finger to release the skill "Puppet Control Silk Thread", and the other end of the thread was connected to Alice's right hand.

At this moment, Alice lost control of her right hand, but she didn't feel that part of her body was missing.

"The control worked," she whispered.

Ian tried to manipulate Alice's right hand, which felt a bit like scroll wheel operation.

By pushing in a specific direction, let the puppet follow and make various actions.

"Whether it's a magic thread or a puppet thread, it can control humans and dead things."

"But compared to the former, the puppet-controlling thread is more violent. It belongs to malicious magic and is better at attacking."

Alice said.

What she said was indeed correct, if Ian was hit by an even thread during the battle, it would not be as simple as losing his body parts for a short time.

The puppeteer can completely let Ian play left and right, and even forcibly break off part of his limbs.

Ian finished the test properly and did not do anything special, which surprised Alice a little.

"I thought you would..." Alice looked at her free right hand, her eyes were erratic.

"what?"

Ian understood, his personality was severely insulted!

"I can if you want, dear Miss Alice."

"That's unnecessary." Alice laughed a few times.

The cabinets on both sides of the corridor have been fumbled.

Ian returned them to their original owners and sneaked upstairs.

At the intersection, a pigeon stood in the middle, always listening for intruders.

It blocked the way for the two of them.

"Violent damage is not allowed. The pigeon itself cannot find me, but Ms. Du Jia behind the pigeon is very likely."

Ian was deep in thought, and found that he still needed to use the puppet string to seize control.

"Alice, how do you control Ms. Du Jia's puppet without triggering the alarm?"

Ian had a hard time coping with the fact that the puppet would call the police if it lost control.

It had never occurred to Alice that such a possibility existed.

But they were stuck here and had to figure out a way out.

"How about creating an accident?"

Ian asked suddenly.

He thought of the worst possible solution: "The ground veins in Changmian Town have fluctuated recently, which will cause a weak earthquake."

"The flowerpot that was placed on a high place was shaken off, which coincidentally smashed the pigeon."

Alice nodded slightly after listening:

"Although it is far-fetched, as long as we don't expose it and be more cautious afterwards."

That being the case...

Ian used the communication gem to remotely communicate with the mages in Eternal Sleep Town, asking them to increase the magic coordinator by three gears, and then down three gears.

boom -

Soon, due to the floating magic in the leylines, weak vibrations appeared in the mansion.

Ian moved quickly, and immediately used the puppet control wire to push out the high flowerpot.

Snapped!
The pigeon standing in the middle of the aisle was hit by the flower pot, and Ruby's eyes were also dimmed.

It's dead.

"Who?!"

A sharp voice sounded, accompanied by a gust of cold wind, Ms. Du Jia flew out of the darkness with a gloomy face.

She was riding a broom, with ten silk threads wrapped around her ten fingers, emitting a reddish dangerous light.

"The magic power of the earth veins is floating?"

Ms. Du Jia frowned slightly as she sensed the nearby leylines.

Is it really?She was a little skeptical.

Everything is too coincidental.

With a wave of her magic staff, the flower pot that fell on the ground flew upside down and remained intact, and the soil and flowers returned to their original positions.

The broken pigeon was a doll, and it couldn't be repaired by magic. Ms. Du Jia pinched it up, narrowed her eyes and looked at it carefully.

She found no trace of anything belonging to the intruder.

Ms. Du Jia put her hand into her bosom, took out a new pigeon and let it fly. The pigeon flew around the mansion and landed at the place where the broken pigeon was located.

That should do the trick.

She waved her staff, and the broom under her body gave off a faint red light, carrying her away.

"call……"

Ian breathed a sigh of relief.

He and Alice hid between the luxurious bookcases, and as long as Ms. Du Jia turned her head, she could look directly at them.

Once this happens, even the "unknowable" cannot shield targets stronger than Ian, and they will be exposed.

"Okay, Ms. Du Jia has left."

He carried Alice out first, and then walked out by himself.

After clearing the pigeon level, there are many dolls in the back to monitor, but there is no dead-end monitoring like the pigeon.

Alice recalled the memory in her mind.

She closed her eyes, walked in the spacious mansion according to her memory, stretched out her hand like a hostess, and laid it flat on a neat wall.

thump—

A tiny voice came out, and the voice was very close to Ian. He pinched the silencer gem given by the mages and erased those voices.

Everything went on silently, and a square gap opened in the wall, and a disturbing red light shone through the gap, which was different from Alice's memory.

She panicked and looked back at Ian.

With the idea of ​​"everything is coming", Ian grabbed the seagull's wings and threw the seagull into it without hesitation.

The seagull will go when there is something to do, and he will go when there is nothing to do. The division of labor is clear.
