NPC Nine-Tailed Fox

Chapter 25 The Phantom Puppet Line

Under the feet of Linyang City, under the raging fire, it finally burned to ashes.

The black-robed general flicked his cloak and walked away.

In the transparent bubble in the air, Lin Xiaolin looked back at Daozhang Sun with a look of surprise, only to see that the other party was pale in astonishment at this moment.

Taoist Sun raised his hands in astonishment, watching his hands gradually become transparent, and murmured: "It turns out, it turns out that I, the poor Taoist,... am already dead!"

Just as shocked as him were the people in Linyang City who were looking at the light screen outside their dreams.

In the dream, there were flashes of dark light on the scorched ground, Zhi's eyes lit up, and he said, "So that's how it is."

What turned out to be so?
Lin Xiaolin turned around and saw that Zhi was controlling the transparent bubbles with red characters to move forward. After a while, the transparent bubbles came to the dark place and landed.

The moment the transparent bubble landed on the ground, the outer transparent membrane splashed water stains like colorful bubbles bursting in the air, and then disappeared out of thin air.

Zhi looked for the dark light, squatted down, and picked up a blackened puppet with his small hand.

"This..." Lin Xiaolin observed its appearance carefully, and said in surprise, "Is it the maid's real body? It was clean and beautiful just now, but now it is so burnt?"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Xiaolin only felt a slightly cold breath flowing around him, and when he looked around, he saw that there was only a piece of scorched yellow ground, and wisps of shaking white souls began to emerge—it was the original burnt earth. The souls of the dead people in Linyang City!
One of the souls was filled with black energy. Even from a distance, Lin Xiaolin could feel the strong resentment in its heart. She took a closer look and said, "Shen Qianjin?"

At this time, Shen Qianjin's soul was surrounded by black energy, resentment was soaring, and her eyes were red.

Suddenly, it rushed towards Lin Xiaolin and the others.

Omg!

Lin Xiaolin felt that she was really unlucky, why was she so afraid of something!She is most afraid of these unclean things, but this time twice, she either meets "A Piao" Zhi, or the fog ghost, and now she meets Shen Qianjin's wronged soul!Could it be that she has a special affinity with unclean things?Hey, what did you say? Bah, bah, bah!

Lin Xiaolin drew out the silver light sword, swung it vigorously and stabbed Shen Qianjin's innocent soul.

The silver light of the silver sword flashed, and before it even touched Shen Qianjin's body, it was wrapped in resentment, and then was twisted into pieces.

Lin Xiaolin was stunned and startled, and he pulled out of the storage bag casually, pulled out a slender knife with a green handle and a green body, and slapped Shen Qianjin's innocent soul.

This time, Shen Qianjin's wronged soul swayed all over her body, and took a few steps back.

"It works!" Lin Xiaolin's eyes lit up, and he was about to use the mortal green sword to make another move, but his collar was pulled down by a strong force, "What, a sneak attack!"

As soon as he turned around, the mortal green knife turned accordingly, and it was about to stab the person behind him, but it stopped urgently when Lin Xiaolin suddenly saw the person's face clearly.

Lin Xiaolin was dumbfounded: "Smart!? Why stop me... You have been possessed by a ghost, right?"

When Zhiyi heard this, his eyelids rolled slightly: "It's just to save you useless energy, and you are called a 'ghost upper body'? The imagination is really rich, and besides, I am not as weak as you!"

"Then why are you stopping me?" Lin Xiaolin was puzzled.

Zhi pouted: "I won't stop you and let you compete with the phantom in your memories?"

"A phantom in memory?" Lin Xiaolin was stunned.

At this time, Shen Qianjin's phantom, who had retreated a few steps, regained his blackness and rushed towards Zhi.

Lin Xiaolin was in a hurry, but saw the phantom of Shen Qianjin's wronged soul transformed into a wisp and invaded into the scorched black puppet in Zhi's hand. In an instant, the black eyeholes of the human puppet glowed red, and then the black thread sewn There was a piercing hum from his mouth.

The souls of Linyang City, who were originally wandering aimlessly, rushed towards the puppet in Zhi's hand as if they had heard a call.

Although these white souls are at best just phantoms in the memories of humanoid puppets, even so, being penetrated by the phantoms of many souls is not an enjoyable thing, and Lin Xiaolin feels a bit disgusting.

Fortunately for her, Taoist Sun, who had been forgotten aside, became more and more transparent as these white souls moved, and his eyes became more and more distracted.

"Little friend!"

Lin Xiaolin heard a sound behind her, and turned her head quickly, only to see Daoist Sun's body shaking, as if it would fall away instantly if touched.

"Daozhang Sun, you..."

Before she could finish her words, in an instant, she saw the body of Daochang Sun in front of her shattered into fine gravel, scattered like dust.

Lin Xiaolin was dumbfounded, only caught the old Taoist's slight murmur in the wind:

"Little friend, it's hard to see each other again now. Heh, Pindao still said that humans and beasts have different paths, but I don't want to know that I am not a human, but a lonely ghost for more than a hundred years without knowing it..."

Like him, the souls of Linyang City who already knew everything while looking at the light screen outside the dream also disappeared with sudden and great enlightenment.

Lin Xiaolin's eyes were wide open, and when Sun Daozhang completely dissipated, he felt lost, and his heart was very blocked.

Next, no matter how the real story of Linyang City develops, how Shen Qianjin's wronged soul divided itself into good and evil souls, the evil soul turned into a maid, and the good soul erased three years of memory and became 'Shen Qianjin'... How to construct the "Linyang City" in the ghost world out of obsession... How to erase the memories of the city's residents for three years, just to relive a perfect time without the "black-robed general"...

Until two months ago, the black-robed general passed by and ruined the wedding again after discovering the "Linyang City" in the ghost world...

All of this, Lin Xiaolin has no intention to understand.

She looked at the scene in front of her like a slide show, and what emerged in front of her was always the scene of Daoist Sun shattered into powder in front of her eyes.

The past is like a cloud of smoke. When all the stories of Linyang City are told, the memories, dreams, and ghost towns that surfaced around Lin Xiaolin and Zhi will disappear in an instant, and the surroundings will return to their original appearance—— The dark and scorched land in the misty bamboo forest.

When Zhi Zhi threw the puppet to her, Lin Xiaolin still didn't recover, so that the bridge of her nose was hit directly.

"..." Lin Xiaolin couldn't even bring herself to scold him.

"Look carefully, is the pattern similar to the knife in your hand?" Zhi's voice sounded from above, the soft and waxy voice was a little hoarse.

Lin Xiaolin just came back to her senses, looked up to see his face clearly, and said in surprise, "Master Zhi, why are you..."

Zhi, who was originally a child of five or six years old, now suddenly looks like a boy of fifteen or sixteen.Although the baby fat on his face hadn't completely faded away, his eyebrows had become three-dimensional, like the sunshine and the cleanliness and freshness unique to teenagers.And his height was suddenly pulled up to 172cm, 8cm taller than Lin Xiaolin.

Zhi saw that her eyes were obviously brightening, and he felt a little sad in his heart, but it didn't show on his face. He just smiled and replied: "The energy absorbed from it is not enough to restore its original appearance, but it can be considered to have recovered a little. "

When Zaizhi said "it", Lin Xiaolin followed the direction he pointed and looked down at the puppet in his palm.

This puppet is still the same as it was in "Linyang City in the Ghost Realm", but because of the fire, its whole body is scorched and hard, and it looks more like black wood than cloth.And the pattern on its clothes does look somewhat similar to the mortal green knife.

Lin Xiaolin clicked on the attributes of this puppet, and whispered its name: "Phantom marrow... Puppet silk."

At this time, what Lin Xiaolin didn't know was that her original player account "Lin Jian Tage" sounded a [Ding] system prompt:
[System: Congratulations on completing the S-level hidden dungeon "Phantom Marrow. Dream Marriage", the completion progress of the branch "Luo Shen Phantom Marrow" is 50%, the reward is 10 taels of gold, and the system reputation is 2000 points. Do you want to hide your ID? 】

……

[System: Does the player want to hide his/her ID?]

……

[System: In view of the fact that the player "Tage in the Forest" has not instructed any operation for more than 1 hour, the system will assume that the player agrees to disclose the ID. 】

……

So, before Lin Xiaolin knew it, her player account became completely famous.
