EVERYONE IS A LORD: MY TALENT IS A LITTLE TOO STRONG

Chapter 894: Chapter 568: The City of Puppets_2

“It seems that there must be something fishy going on here.”

With a thoughtful nod, Leo Ray’s gaze fell on the only tightly closed stone door on the side of the hall, and then said, “Let’s go over there and take a look.”

Upon arriving at the door, Leo Ray noticed something further.

It was a heavy stone double-leaf gate, with the pattern of two maidens engraved on it. Apart from that, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

“My lord, the strange energy fluctuations emanating from here are much more intense than those in the hall. Allow me to open it.”

At this moment, the slender hand of Hong Ye, who was behind him, was already covered with sharp, blood-red claws, ready to attack at any moment.

“Better safe than sorry.”

Giving a nod to the solemn-looking dragon girl, Leo Ray stepped back a little.

Following that, with a creaking sound, the seemingly heavy stone door was easily pushed open by Hong Ye, as if it was a lightweight wooden door.

However, an even more shocking scene awaited them.

This should be a large dormitory with neatly arranged single beds, totaling more than thirty. Despite the dim light in the room.

But with the brilliant light shining in from the hall, Leo Ray, who was standing behind Hong Ye, could still clearly see that each bed was covered by a quilted human figure!

Upon closer observation, it became evident from the faces of many of the human figures nearby.

All these people were young women with smooth, luminous skin. Their long eyelashes were closed, making them look as if they were asleep.

“There are people in this deserted city?!”

Noticing this, a powerful aura erupted from the subordinates, and a multitude of dazzling weapons were ready to be unleashed.

“Hold on, something’s not right.”

A rough voice sounded, and Taylor, who had been guarding Leo Ray’s side, furrowed his brows and said, “There is no living breath on these human figures!”

“Senior Taylor is right.”

Gideon Black’s gold-rimmed glasses flashed with a streak of light, and he echoed, “These people have neither the breath of life nor the breath of death. They are obviously not human.”

Pausing for a moment, Gideon Black added, “No, to be precise, these people are not living beings at all!”

“If we sense carefully, that’s indeed the case. There’s no trace of golem puppet aura, and they don’t seem to have been summoned.”

On the other side, Scarlett, who was tightly gripping her magic wand, saw her pale fingers regain some color and said with furrowed brows, “So these are just ordinary simulation dolls?”

“No, it’s not that simple.”

Hong Ye, who had been standing at the front without speaking, suddenly said, “The faint, strange energy fluctuations permeating the air are emanating from these objects!”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, an astonished look appeared on Leo Ray’s face.

Although he could vaguely sense the slow and uneventful energy fluctuations in the air, he couldn’t figure out their origin.

After all, these energy fluctuations were extremely weak and, like a grain of sand rolling in the waves, had long been separated from their original position within the air mixed with various energy particles.

“Hong Ye, are you sure? How can ordinary simulation dolls emit energy fluctuations?”

After some deliberation, Leo Ray immediately asked.

“My Lord, although these energy fluctuations are extremely weird and changeable, once they blend into the air, they become as difficult to locate as raindrops falling from the sky, and are vastly different from the energy fluctuations emitted by ordinary living beings, but ultimately there is a certain pattern to them.”

Turning her body toward Leo Ray and giving a slight bow, Hong Ye’s face became more serious and confirmed, “From this, I conclude that these dolls are not ordinary, or rather, they are a kind of created object I have never seen or heard of before!”

“Even you’ve never seen such a created object?”

With a thoughtful nod, Leo Ray hesitated for a moment and then addressed his subordinates, “Let’s go and check out other places.”

“Yes, my lord!”As the subordinates saluted Leo Ray together, they immediately started to take action.

With seven parts of doubt and three parts of curiosity, Leo Ray and his entourage continued to explore several buildings in this street block.

After a thorough investigation, Leo Ray found that,

all the basic settings here were complete, and there was no difference from an ordinary city.

However, all the public places, including bars, restaurants, and hotels, were empty and deserted, and the food had already rotted beyond recognition.

Only on the beds of various residences lied all kinds of dolls, including men and women, old and young.

As for their dress, it was a simple white silk robe, not the kind of equipment that could be upgraded.

Besides, Leo Ray was surprised to notice that,

each of these seemingly sleeping dolls had a unique appearance.

Upon closer observation, both the skin’s touch and each hair strand were indistinguishable from a real person, making it difficult to tell the difference.

Of course, the most crucial point was that, as confirmed by Scarlett, each doll emitted a strange energy fluctuation.

Leo Ray naturally trusted Scarlett’s keen perception.

After all, the true identity of Scarlett was a Dragon Clan, one of the recognized overlords of the continent and a Tier 5 level dual powerhouse in both magic and martial arts.

“Could these dolls be the inhabitants of this city?”

After walking out of another house, Scarlett’s fair face was full of puzzled expressions.

Then she muttered to herself, “It seems that this is not an uninhabited city, but a city of dolls.”

“But why would their creator do that?”

On the other hand, Ariel Watson, who had also just walked out, rested her hand on her hip with a puzzled look on her face, “Building such a magnificent city in such a marvelous barrier area, and the residents are just some motionless dolls? It’s unbelievable.”

“Indeed, it is difficult to understand, but things are obviously not that simple.”

After nodding to his subordinates, Leo Ray’s face was solemn, “Don’t forget, ordinary dolls won’t emit that kind of strange energy fluctuation.”

“Lord is right, it’s definitely not as simple as it seems.”

After taking a deep breath, Scarlett agreed, “If I’m not mistaken, there must be an earth-shattering secret hidden here!”

“An earth-shattering secret? It seems that things are getting more and more interesting.”

With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Leo Ray said, “Alright, let’s continue moving forward…”

However, just as Leo Ray’s words had not yet fallen,

Scarlett’s expression suddenly changed, and she fiercely looked up at the roof behind her. Immediately after, Taylor’s burly body trembled, making the same move.

Noticing this, Leo Ray looked up in the same direction, only to catch a glimpse of a shadow flashing across the rooftop.

“Taylor, please take care of Lord!”

In the blink of an eye, Scarlett’s face turned serious, and a murderous look filled her starry eyes. Her crimson magic wings fluttered, transforming her into a meteor with a red tail as she shot towards the direction where the shadow had appeared.

The next second, the crisp sound of metal clashing rang in Leo Ray’s ears.

Looking towards the sound, Scarlett was already fiercely fighting with a shadow on the rooftop.

In mid-air, sparks flew as their weapons clashed violently.

Due to the fast movements of both fighters, it was only after a round of fierce battle that the sudden shadow gradually became clear in Leo Ray’s vision.

“A silky white robe, no human breath, an obvious strange energy fluctuation emanating from the body…”

Upon noticing these, Leo Ray’s face revealed a surprised expression, murmuring to himself, “It turns out that Scarlett’s opponent is actually one of the numerous dolls we’ve seen here?!”
