"...I originally thought he was a wise inspector or detective, but now it doesn't seem like that." There was a very obvious sense of disappointment in that voice.
"It seems like you are the mastermind behind this?" Nolan Lusi said, holding his hands and raising his eyebrows slightly.
"Well... you can call me that for the time being, because this is not at the level of a mastermind. What is triggered here is just a prepared warning device." The voice said.
It doesn't look like a prepared recording.
I narrowed my eyes slightly, and the state of the Sword of Lament was instantly imposed on me, and I could discern subtle differences in the sounds coming from all directions——
Although it does sound like they arrive at your ears at the same time, this is because the space is too small, so the difference in sound from other places reaching your ears becomes very small. It is difficult for normal people to tell the difference, but when using If you use all your senses to assist with magic to capture the subtle time difference, you will be able to know exactly where the sound source is.
This is what the Sword of Lament brings to the table.
Although it is essentially a sword move, it cannot be called subtle compared to ordinary moves. What it pursues more often is the use of the brain. This kind of peak observation can make me realize a lot. matter.
But I don't want to use it often... After all, if I swing the sword with the Sword of Lament, the slightest consequence will be muscle soreness, so for daily use, I still use the Holy See's 128 style sword technique.
Get rid of distracting thoughts in your mind and focus on identifying the direction of the sound.
"But even so, it's not easy for you to detect something is wrong and then threaten that guy to find this place."
The approximate range of the location has been locked.
My eyes turned to one side. That place was a second-floor shelf in the warehouse. It was blocked by a pillar, so it was completely shrouded in shadow.
"It seems like you're prepared?" I moved my body slowly, pretending to be on guard, while talking trash in an attempt to distract him, "And you seem to have noticed that this person is unreliable. So the warehouse is no longer in use.”
"No, no, no, this is not the reason why the warehouse is not being used..."
The blast technique was applied to my body, and as my muscles tightened, I jumped up suddenly, then used magic power to create a virtual stepping point in mid-air, turned my body instantly, and stabbed it without hesitation.
The cold light of the sword flashed, but the feeling of piercing into an object was not felt. Instead, it was like hitting an iron plate.
A gust of wind blew towards his face, but before that, Nolan Lusi's figure appeared behind the man like a ghost, and the long black sword slashed down without mercy.
As the shadow swayed, an arm holding a dagger flew high into the sky, and then fell to the ground with a... "ding-dong" sound, as if it were metal.
"No...this is metal."
On the cross section of the shoulder, the silvery metallic color shines in the sunlight.
"That's right, it's purified steel."
The person in front of me smiled: "But it really surprised me. I was quite disappointed when I saw someone who was not a wise inspector or detective, but then I met a powerful adventurer who seemed pretty good, right?"
Ding dong!
With a crisp and sharp slash, all the limbs of the "person" in front of her were cut off by Nolan Lesi. She slowly sheathed her sword, folded her hands and said: "Confirmation is complete, this guy should be just a puppet. I just said I’m still wondering why he was able to come to this place so quickly after the incident, but it turned out that he had just placed a puppet here in advance, thus evading our detection.”
"It's a wonderful reasoning, but it's only slightly better." The mouth of the puppet that had been chopped into a human stick was still moving.
"Looks like he's a chatterbox." I squatted down and rubbed my stiff muscles and said, "But if you're talking about the puppeteer, I think I can probably guess the reason."
"Oh, that's even more surprising..."
Nolanle opened his mouth directly on it without any courtesy, and what he saw inside were metal internal organs.
"...So you are such adventurous adventurers?" The expression on the doll's face is vivid. If the internal organs shown in front of them were not also made of metal, no one would be able to recognize that this is actually just a doll, right?
"I'm sorry, I just don't know what bad things you, the doll, can do, so cutting your whole body open seems to be a better choice." Nolan Lusi curled her lips and said.
"Quite cautious."
"Although this is a bit straightforward, does the guy below actually have a problem with his memory?" I pointed to Pearson below who seemed to have fainted. "When I confirmed it just now, he seemed to be unable to remember who gave him the gift. It's a good thing, but from his broken words, I inferred a fact..."
"What fact?" the puppet repeated with interest.
"Although I say I want to sell it secretly, it's actually you who gives him the goods, right?" I said helplessly, "The reason why I think it's mine is because you tampered with my memory."
"Correct, but unfortunately there is no reward." The doll smiled and said, "Also, there is another thing you didn't notice. In fact, I also secretly instilled in him the concept that this place is the original place! This is to prevent him from doing anything. It was only made when the problem was raised, but it was actually no longer used here a long time ago.”
"And ah, and ah!" he said excitedly, "In this case, he will think that he can get all the money, so he will work extra hard when selling. In this way, I can make it with just a little trick. His work has become more efficient, isn’t that great!”
"...You are really a devil."
The clue is completely broken.
"Nolan Lusi, is there any way to find the location of his body?" I looked at the Demon King, hoping that she could find some way.
"If only it were that simple..." Nolan Lusi said honestly, "I don't know much about souls. Although I know someone who does, she definitely can't come here now, so..."
Isn't that guy also some kind of devil?
I thought for a while, and then tentatively asked the puppet: "So, what is your conspiracy?"
"Isn't it strange that you can say that? Especially now that I have absolutely no control in your hands." The doll made a relaxed voice, "You know, the cost of this doll is only ten gold coins." I thought. Chat with more like-minded people about "After being defeated by the devil, I became her minion", " ", chatting about life and looking for confidants~
