Battle of the Two Cities: From Zaun to the Void

Chapter 4 Puppet

Last words?

Du Wenkai said nothing.

He had just noticed that Singed and Warwick had something of a superior-subordinate relationship.

This is completely different from what was mentioned in the backstory.

In the background story, Warwick is a modified body of Singed.

In other words, it is likely that some kind of agreement was reached between Warwick and Singed.

Conflict must be created between the two of them to reduce the difficulty of escape!
Thinking of this, Du Wenkai tentatively said through the glass petri dish:

"My last words are to tell Warwick that I will give you double the benefits you give him!"

Sure enough, after finishing speaking, Du Wenkai noticed that Xin Jide's eyes were fixed, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes.

"Double?"

Singed sneered, "He will come to accompany you later!"

Seeing success planted seeds of doubt in Singed's mind.

Du Wenkai simply closed his eyes and remained still, paving the way for the subsequent activation of stagnation.

Singed didn't get a response, and approached Du Wenkai with a sinister smile.

In the glass petri dish, a cylindrical restraint rose from Du Wenkai's feet and firmly fixed the area below his neck.

Afterwards, the culture fluid was drained, and the glass cover was slowly lowered, revealing a sharp-edged and slightly pale face.

through the present.

Du Wenkai breathed the fresh air of Zaun for the first time, and almost fainted.

"Cough cough."

He coughed violently twice, and his plan of pretending to be a wooden man fell through in an instant.

The air quality in Zaun was so bad that he wanted to put the respirator back on his face.

This place is uninhabitable...

The Trench is the lowest point in Zaun.

In addition, air cannot convection.

To put it bluntly, even carbon dioxide is much denser than other places.

Not to mention the poisonous smog that persists in Zaan all year round, most of them gather in the gutter area.

Residents living in the trench area have more or less lung diseases, and many people die from them every year.

Similarly, since the alchemy barons didn't pay much attention to the trench area, they neglected to manage it.

As a result, the gutter area has become a place where Zu'an hides its filth and evil forces.

Only an undisciplined guy like Singed would regard this place as a paradise.

Leaving these aside.

Du Wenkai, who was prepared, controlled himself, tried his best to slow down his breathing, inhaled shallowly, exhaled slowly, and slowly adapted to the environment.

While controlling himself not to move around, he continued to play the role of the wooden man.

While seeing Singed slowly undo the bandage on his face, revealing a dry and old face.

Due to over-protection, Singed had many sickly purple scars on his face, and his pores were dilated to the size of a grain of rice.

Du Wenkai couldn't complain. He saw Xinjid retching, and then bent down and coughed violently.

Du Wenkai instinctively felt that the surrounding temperature dropped a lot the moment Singed raised his head, and the hot poison haze in the gutter area was also tainted with a bit of coldness.

What's going on... He didn't make any movement on the surface, but secretly he saw a scene he had never seen before.

Terrible scene!
A fist-sized, translucent Poro spat out from Singed's mouth, shaking his sticky body, and rushed straight at Du Wenkai.

That Poro's appearance has nothing to do with being cute and cute.

The whole body is bald, one part of the hair is missing, the other is missing, and the devil's unique diagonal grows.

There are red flames in its eyes, sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and its expression is even more bitter and hatred, as if it wants to eat people.

According to the explanation seen in the system mall, as long as the Ghost Poro merges into the spirit body of others, it can make others become puppets of the caster!
But now, Du Wenkai is ready, standing still, concentrating, and ready to activate the skill "Frozen" at any time!
As Ghost Poro got closer, he felt his limbs become stiff, his blood began to coagulate, he couldn't move, and gradually lost control of his body.

Du Wenkai pulled himself together and kept the last sliver of reason.

At this moment, Singed suddenly turned his head and looked at the door.

"Squeak~"

The door opened, revealing Warwick's head.

Singed turned his head and scolded, "Who let you in?"

When Du Wenkai saw that Xinjid was distracted, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

At this time, the eyeballs were facing the door, and there was no field of vision monitoring. The opportunity came!

The moment the Ghost Poro hit his head, Du Wenkai used the skill "Stagnation"!
"Om~"

He felt a tinnitus, and immediately lost control of his body.

Simply, this feeling came and went quickly, disappearing in just a second.

Du Wenkai's thoughts became smooth again, and the stuck joints reconnected.

This golden second prevented Singed from brainwashing.

In front of Du Wenkai's eyes, the ghost poro that rushed towards him failed, and turned into a wisp of red smoke, dissipating in the air.

On the other side, Warwick happened to see the dissipated poro.

Warwick swayed, and said with lingering fear:

"Why did your Poro dissipate? Could it be that the brainwashing failed?"

Singed wrapped the bandage around his face again, shook his head and said:

"Brainwashing works on rune users whose level is lower than mine. Whether it succeeds or not, Ghost Poro will disappear."

When Du Wenkai heard this, he had an idea, that is to say, Singed did not realize that he was immune to brainwashing!

Brainwash and Freeze have a cooldown of 120 seconds.

In the beginning, Du Wenkai planned to use the same cooling time to resist Xinjid's brainwashing again and again.

But now, he has a better choice - to pretend to be a puppet, to hide from the world!

The culture fluid subsided, and Du Wenkai stood back on the ground. Under the intentional control, his eyes inevitably looked dull.

Singed came over and sniffed with his nose, as if to confirm whether Du Wenkai had been brainwashed.

The enemy is strong and we are weak, Du Wenkai instinctively wants to retreat.

But he kept his identity as a puppet in mind and could only watch as Singed came closer and looked him up and down.

Singed suddenly frowned.

"Already have the strength of T9?"

Is he about to be discovered... Du Wenkai's heart was raised in his throat, and he was ready to go all out!

"The alchemy technology enhancement body contains a complete rune, and it is normal to have a strength comparable to T9."

Fortunately.

Xin Jide didn't find it unusual, but attributed it to the transformation, and nodded in satisfaction.

"The brainwashing is very successful. From now on, you will be my No. [-] modified body, remember?"

Uh... Du Wenkai was silent.

"Do you remember?" Xingjid asked again, frowning.

This time, Du Wenkai was not silent, he stuttered and spoke in a very long tone, "Remember...remember..."

Singed nodded in satisfaction.

Even Warwick, who was standing aside, breathed a sigh of relief, "Your transformation has been successful, can you give me the rune?"
