Chapter 456: Why a Heavy Sword (3)
The puppet of the fourth grade didn’t hesitate either. It stepped into the room and sat down on a chair.
A crisp sound was heard as the woman in rags closed the door.
Immediately after, her shape became extremely strange. Dense threads appeared in the air at her joints, and they were hanging in the air. It looked very strange.
“Lord Xu, rumors in the martial world say that you are a boor. I didn’t expect you to be so cautious. You didn’t even come to see me sincerely. It seems that Lord Xu is worried that I will make you deal with you secretly.”
A voice that was neither male nor female, but also seemed to be male or female, echoed in the room. It was impossible to hear the specific tone and gender.
In terms of caution, soul controllers had their own methods.
The puppet of the Fourth Stage didn’t reply. Instead, it took out another piece of paper, and the contents appeared on it.
“I can’t say it, I can’t see it, and I can’t hear it. You’d better write down everything you know, including what you want to talk to me about today.”
The woman was speechless.
What the hell was with this familiar sense of deja vu?
Wasn’t this a trick that he often used? How could the other party learn it so quickly?
He looked at the puppet of the Fourth Stage in front of him, placing the piece of paper in its hand on the table. Clearly, it wanted him to write on it.
The woman gritted her teeth. She knew that it was useless to say anything else at this time.
Under the pull of the translucent silk thread, she took out a pen from the table and wrote on the paper.
She wrote very quickly, and in just a few moments, she had already written two full pages. In the end, she stuffed them into the hands of the puppet of the Fourth Stage.
After she finished writing, the woman sat on the chair. The translucent threads on her body disappeared, and she didn’t even look at them.
In her mind, the puppet could neither see nor hear her. There was no point in saying anything more. She could just write what she wanted on a piece of paper and let the puppet bring it back.
But he hadn’t expected that the puppet of the Fourth Stage wouldn’t leave. Why was it staying where it was?
The woman started to hesitate, occasionally looking at the puppet of the Fourth Stage.
This woman was only controlled by a soul controller.
The content that he had just written was also controlled by the soul controller through the thread, so he didn’t know what to do now.
The puppet of the Fourth Stage was unable to speak, and it just stood there.
The woman did not speak.
Time passed by, but there was no sign of him leaving.
But this woman couldn’t say much, and the person controlling her didn’t control her anymore. She could only remain in a stalemate.
Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, the entire night had passed.
As the day approached, there were fewer and fewer people in Spring Rain Pavilion. After all, the brothels were only open at night. Most of the doors were closed during the day. The girls needed to rest too.
Right at this moment, the puppet of the fourth grade suddenly lifted its leg and left Spring Rain Pavilion under the woman’s astonished expression.
After leaving the Spring Rain Pavilion, the puppet of the Fourth Stage didn’t stay any longer. It returned to the inn and handed the piece of paper to Xu Bai.
After doing all this, the fourth-grade puppet quietly stood guard by the side and did not move at all.
This was the weakness of the Mechanical Puppet Puppet Technique.
If they were far away, Xu Bai’s control would be limited and he could only give some rigid orders.
He issued the order before, and the four products of the puppet also according to the order before, and the time before, and the spring rain pavilion closed before returning.
It was equivalent to giving an order. When to do something, it was very rigid.
As for why he had to take out the silver notes when he met the brothel madame, it was also an order given in advance.
If someone tried to stop the puppet of the Fourth Stage, it would take out the silver notes in its hands.
After all, in that kind of place, the only one who could stop the puppet of the Fourth Stage after entering would be the brothel madame.
Xu Bai estimated that he would have to increase the level of the skill to expand the range.
However, now was not the time to think about this. Xu Bai picked up the paper in front of him and scanned the contents with interest.
A moment later, Xu Bai had finished reading the first page, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
The contents of the paper jumped into his mind…
[Lord Xu, I really didn’t expect you to be so cautious. But this time, you’re really wrong. I’m not trying to harm you.]
[Those two men who tried to assassinate you were indeed arranged by me. I was the one who tried to assassinate you, but I met you this time to help you.]
[Whether you believe it or not, soul controllers are nothing more than street rats in this world. I only hope that by helping you, we can walk on the bright road.]
[I’ve joined an alliance established by the people who are dealing with you. Their goal is to work with you from the inside and outside to help you successfully overcome this crisis.]
[The other party is very strong and I still don’t know what his profession is. He said that he will destroy you and the entire Fenghua State.]
[I know that if I want to work with you, I have to have a good bargaining chip.]
The content was divided into two pages. This was one of the pages, but Xu Bai could see through many things.
First, it was divided into true and false.
Of course, there was no need to say anything more about the fake ones. The other party had played a mission impossible with him.
If he believed it, it would lead to a series of troubles.
As for if it was true, there was something worth pondering.
The other party’s motive was to help him and then get the soul controller to get close to the royal family, so that he could wash away his previous stain. However, Xu Bai was more interested in the bargaining chip..
