The Trial Game of Life

Chapter 176 Book of Gods

Jin Cheng was wondering when Tang Cuo would find out that his boyfriend was missing.

He was still wondering why it was always him who triggered the side mission every time.The first time he was sucked into the painting, the second time he was forced to jump off a cliff, and the third time, he fell into the book again.

Side Quest: Welcome to the Puppet Kingdom

"Ding!"

With the crisp sound of the bell, Jin Cheng was sucked into the book.The momentary weightlessness blurred his vision, and when he regained his vision, the wind howled in his ears, and the clouds brushed past him.

In front of him was the suddenly clear sky, and he was falling rapidly with his back to the ground.

"Hi!" A cheerful greeting came from the side, Jin Cheng turned his head, and saw a life-sized doll made of cloth descending through the clouds with him.He was wearing a black tuxedo, a tall hat and white gloves. A centipede-like seam pattern ran from the center of the brow to the bridge of the nose and went around behind the left ear.

The corner of the mouth is grinning, revealing two rows of teeth made of small white pearls.

The system's announcement sounded at the right time: "It's a robbery! It's a robbery! The dollhouse of the puppet master Herodo is robbed! Herodo is going to die of anger! There is no way, the angry master Herodo has to offer a huge reward, the target — catch that pearl-toothed thief!"

Pearl teeth?

That's right here.

Jin Cheng reacted very quickly, and instantly found out the prop rope, but Mr. Thief, who was ten meters away, suddenly took off his hat and waved at him. Immediately afterwards, the two of them fell into a huge cloud, blocking their sight.

It only takes a second to cross the clouds.

Apart from Jin Cheng's body, what broke through the clouds was also lively cheers and the gathering of countless crisp bells.

"Jingle, jingle, jingle..."

Amid the cheers like a celebration, Jin Cheng fell into the sea of ​​bells.No, it's a sea of ​​dolls.Jin Cheng slammed heavily into the pile of puppets, and countless life-sized puppets raised their hands to support him, and each of them had a golden bell tied with a red ribbon on their wrist.

They cheered happily, and the colorful ribbons floated down from the sky, like a dream.

Jin Cheng immediately turned his head to look for the thief, thinking that he must be missing, but he didn't expect that the thief was standing in the group of puppets more than ten meters away and smiling at him.

With a grin, he bowed to Jin Cheng, and when he put the tall top hat on his head, his whole body seemed to slip in, from head to toe, it was about to disappear in the blink of an eye.

Still want to run.

Jin Cheng raised his hand to support the head of a puppet, and he became active, jumping from one head to that shoulder, and after a few ups and downs, he came to the thief's side.

He shot like lightning, and threw out the hook to hook the brim of the hat, but he took a closer look—there was no trace of the thief under the hat.

The cheers continued, and the puppets all had strange faces with different skin tones depending on the cloth.The color and shape of the button eyes are also different, but they almost all have the same smiling face.

Looking around, the kingdom of dolls finally unveiled its mystery in front of Jin Cheng.

There are windmills in the shape of sewing machine turntables, chimneys in the shape of spindles, colorful coil towers, and arches with scissor legs. There are similar traces everywhere in the kingdom. Velvet ribbons are tied to the flagpoles that can be seen everywhere, and every road is paved. red carpet.

Seeing this wonderful scene, Jin Cheng whistled, put the top hat on his head, and couldn't help but want to say "thank you for the invitation".

But before he could make a move, the puppet army burst into cheers even more enthusiastically than before.When Jin Cheng climbed up and looked into the distance, he saw two rows of puppet soldiers coming out of the castle carrying a pallet that was ten meters long and wide. On the pallet were folded white dresses and a pair of shiny leather boots.

Judging from the size of this suit, I'm afraid it can only be worn by giants.

"go ahead!"

"go ahead!"

Shouting and defending the trays, the Muppets swarmed along the red carpet.

Jin Cheng couldn't find the thief, so he temporarily followed the team, and met the puppet living in the wooden castle on the way.They carried a black umbrella made of wood more than ten meters high, and walked on the road like ancient trackers.

The two sides converged and came to a square together.From a distance, Jin Cheng saw that there were many puppets in the square, this time they were not made of cloth or carved from wood, but porcelain puppets that were more human-like.

They have the most perfect body shape and the closest human appearance. The only shortcoming is probably that they have no eyes, only two black holes.At this very moment, they are struggling to pull the rope, shouting slogans, trying to erect a huge porcelain statue on the square.

That is also a doll.

Jin Cheng understood almost instantly who the puppet's clothes and the puppet's black umbrella were for, and they were going to decorate the largest puppet.

"Forward!!!" The puppets were still rushing forward.

The puppets still hold the black umbrella high.

The porcelain dolls were united, and amidst the cheers, the huge doll was finally erected, revealing its full view.

The dolls all moved.Putting up a long ladder to dress him, the whole square was filled with joy like a grand ceremony, and even the porcelain doll without eyeballs seemed to be full of enthusiasm in the empty eye sockets.

Standing on the roof on one side of the square and watching, Jin Cheng inexplicably felt that this puppet looked familiar.

He hasn't installed his eyeballs yet, and his complexion is sickly pale because of the texture of the porcelain.Several puppets climbed onto his shoulders, dragging a heavy hat to put on him.

"The Book of Herodo Aesop", Jin Cheng looked at it, and remembered the book Polly mentioned.If you guessed right, this Herodo may be the puppet master Herodo mentioned in the side mission, but is this Aesop related to the rebel Aesop?

It's also a coincidence.

He now feels that this puppet looks a bit like Aesop.

But when the 20-meter-tall doll was fully dressed and looked more and more like Aesop, the little dolls underneath started commotion again.

"Eye!"

"no!"

"Eye!"

"no!"

……

They shouted, and the scene suddenly began to get out of control.

The smile on his face disappeared, and all the puppets looked like headless chickens, anxious and flustered.The two porcelain puppets bumped into each other in a panic, their bodies were smashed, the porcelain pieces scattered all over the floor, and even their heads were split open, leaving nothing inside.

"Ah!" The puppets scattered around one after another, and the noise seemed to be paused. They formed a circle, looked down at the scattered fragments of porcelain puppets, and remained motionless.

The scene is a little weird.

"Click", God pressed the switch again at this time.

A puppet pointed to a black gem among the shards and exclaimed cheerfully, "Eyes! Eyes! Eyes!"

The puppets all discovered the gem and shouted.Happiness spread like a virus, and the whole square returned to its previous celebration in an instant.

Standing on a high place, Jin Cheng could see clearly that the black gemstone was the heart of the porcelain puppet, maybe it was like a magic spar that provided energy.Such a small piece is still too small for the giant doll of "Aesop".

So the porcelain puppets began a happy suicide.

They walked briskly and even danced.As the chests collided with each other, the broken sounds of "click" and "click" resounded in every corner of the square.

The other puppets set up a human ladder on "Aesop", passing gems one after another quickly in their hands, and throwing them in from the empty eye sockets of "Aesop".

They sang happily, without words, but with a melody full of joy of labor.

"La la la,

la la la,

la la la la la

......"

Before a song was sung, the square was filled with fragments of porcelain puppets.Seeing that the eye sockets of "Aesop" were about to be filled, the puppet closest to the eye sockets happily continued to reach down, but nothing was received.

"Eye!"

"Gone!"

"Eye!"

"Gone!"

"..."

The puppets went crazy again, shouting like crazy in the square full of shards of porcelain puppets.But no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find a single black gemstone.

Jin Cheng watched with leisure, like a spectator who had nothing to do with himself, and even sat down on the glazed tile roof.But he never expected that in the next second, those dolls suddenly looked over in unison.

Thousands of dolls, with button eyes, wooden eyes, whatever, stared at him without blinking.As if the pause button was pressed, all expressions froze, and all breathing stagnated——

Oh, by the way, the puppet was not breathing.

"Eye!"

"catch him!"

"Eye!"

"catch him!"

With a snap, God flipped the switch again.

The puppets swarmed over, grabbed the fragments under their feet and threw them at Jin Cheng.Jin Cheng hurriedly withdrew, and a rain of debris began to fall behind him, and the glazed tiles were shattered by "clang, clang, clang".

But the puppets didn't let him go easily, they surrounded him from all directions, and even moved out a huge slingshot from nowhere.Two puppets pulled the bungee cord, and a puppet was bounced into the sky.

Picking up the wooden sword, he slashed straight at Jin Cheng.

"I haven't done anything yet." Jin Cheng muttered while running.

In this kingdom of dolls, perhaps he is also regarded as a companion by default.Those porcelain puppets were all killed in battle, so he, who looked the most like the porcelain puppets, would naturally have their hearts dug out to make eyes.

But he just came to catch a thief.

Jin Cheng fell to the ground and rolled, turned around and attacked with a sound wave.The sound blade was like a knife, swishing the joints of the puppets.

But there are too many puppets, and the puppets surrounded the small river in a shuttle-like boat. The speed really fits the word - time flies.

Like a rocket.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" He held up the embroidery needle and killed him.

Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows, turned around and ran away.Passing through an arched door, the door frame like scissor legs closed suddenly, almost cutting Jin Cheng in half.

He looked back, and there were two puppets standing on the left and right above the handles of the scissors, giggling.

Jin Cheng also laughed angrily, and threw a popping egg (improved magic version) with his backhand, blowing them up with sawdust flying and cotton wadding turned outward.

At the same time, Tang Cuo, who had already discovered that his boyfriend was missing, was also in the middle of a fierce battle and couldn't take care of himself.

The puppet Polly is holding his book, and the magic light flashes across the pages, and the names of several books automatically appear on the pages.These books are scattered all over the library, and even if they are summoned out, their titles all have the same word-wave.

The next moment, the book was opened, and monstrous waves gushed out from the pages.Like a roaring dragon, it rushed from all directions, trying to engulf Tang Cuo.

Tang Cuo called this trick "search keywords".

"Wow!" The holy light shield blocked the water dragon, but it could block one side, but not the other.With an idea, Tang Cuo flipped his shield-holding wrist, and the water dragon hitting the shield was refracted to another water dragon because of the angle change.

The two sides collided fiercely, and Tang Cuo used the force of the water dragon to hit the shield to perform a light backflip and landed firmly on the railing on the second floor.

He took a breath and turned to look at Polly.

What is the key to breaking the game?

Is it just fighting like this?

Tang Cuo was thinking whether it was the fall of night that triggered Polly's runaway, or his behavior of mentioning the book "Sicilite Fairy Tales".

The former may have to wait until the sun rises to understand, while the latter still needs to be explored carefully.

Of course, the fastest way to break the game is always - to draw the bottom line.

Tang Cuo pressed down his sword tip and fixed his eyes on Polly. He had to try how powerful the full version of Judgment Sword was.Kill Polly or snatch the book in his hand, the game can be solved.

In the next second, Tang Cuo moved.

His [Sprint] skill has increased by 60%, which makes him so fast that he can pull out afterimages when he runs with all his strength.At this time, Polly summoned a few more books, this time the keyword is - sword.

Twelve books appeared everywhere in the library, and one even hung above Tang Cuo's head.

The golden light appeared.

The book is opened, and ten thousand swords strike.

Tang Cuo jumped out from the railing on the second floor, with magic [flaming thorns] in one hand and the sword of judgment in the other.The moment the hands merged to hold the hilt of the sword, the sword aura surged to [-] meters, and the sword aura was not straight, it was as crimson as fire, soft as a whip, but full of spikes.

In mid-air, Tang Cuo swept across with his sword, and amidst the sound of "dangdang, clang, clang", a sword was chopped off by the waist, turning into rain of swords.

At the same time, the flaming thorns wrapped around more swords like a long whip. Tang Cuo turned around on the pillar of the library to borrow strength, and the whip wrapped around the sword and nailed towards Polly.

Seeing this, Polly jumped off the railing to escape.But he was a puppet, his joints cracked and his limbs stiffened when he ran away, which was extraordinarily comical.

Tang Cuo landed on the suspended stairs, looked up and saw his back, and immediately caught up.He ran from one end of the stairs to the higher end, with unabated momentum, like a cheetah leaping out, instantly receiving the skill——【Starfall】

Jump kill skill.When jumping down from a high place, it can stimulate 200% of the usual energy to achieve the maximum critical strike.

"Crack-"

The railing in front was cut off by a sword, and the bookshelf on the wall also cracked a big crack, and all the books fell down, tripping the fleeing Polly.

Tang Cuo's attack was not over yet, he was almost forcefully led by this domineering sword move, and stabbed Poli with his sword.Polly raised the book to resist, the tip of the sword pierced the cover, and finally stopped.

But the book blocked the sword, but it couldn't block the sword wind.Polly's body was crushed by the powerful impact, the skin on his cheeks was cracked, and his body was so broken that the gears at the joints were exposed.

"Bo... Li... don't know anything, Bo Li is just... Po Li." He looked at Tang Cuo, still repeating what he said just now.Then he tilted his head, and his eyeballs fell out.
