Extraordinary Puppet Master

November 1, 544, 7pm.

At this time, Carlin put on cheap clothes and a peaked cap.

Dressed like a low-class civilian, he entered the downtown area of ​​Wayne City. At this time, he was walking in hiding on a street with dilapidated buildings.

The pedestrians around were pale and rough-skinned.

A street girl with heavy makeup stood at the entrance of various alleys waiting for customers to come.

There are also a few little ghosts in caps gathered together on the street corner. Most of their peers who are the same age have become child laborers or child prostitutes.

These little guys probably chose to join the underworld and become pickpockets. If they are not good at their craft after a while, they may change jobs and become robbers for re-employment.

In this era, there are not many ways out for people at the bottom. Gangsters and crime are the two easiest ones.

Karin walked for a while and observed the spirituality of the people around him. Not to mention strong, there were only a few who were sub-healthy.

Just as Lu Xun said in "A Tale of Two Cities": "This is the best of times and the worst of times."

Steam technology is changing with each passing day, the economy is developing rapidly, and the advancement of productivity provides more and more conveniences to life.

But at the same time, capital expanded rapidly, and the gap between rich and poor widened dramatically.

Ordinary workers can only be squeezed endlessly, and each of their fresh young lives is swallowed up by the black smoke of the factory.

Even many middle-class people live like walking zombies every day, being cautious every day for fear that they will be fired by their bosses if they make a small mistake.

Most people in this era are just parts to the upper class. If they break, just replace them.

Even if Carlin's outfit is not high-end, his energy and energy here are simply outstanding, so he chose to remain hidden, otherwise he would be in a lot of trouble.

Now the first thing he does when he returns to Wayne City is to find a gang to run errands for him.

‘I remember the headquarters of the Oswell Razor Party not far from here’

Recalling that there was a gang headquarters nearby, Carlin quickly crossed the street and walked towards a nearby warehouse.

What surprised him was that as he walked, he found that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians. Soon Carlin knew what was going on.

boom--

A gunshot rang out across the street in the night sky.

Then there was a roar and a killing sound.

‘What a coincidence. The extraordinary backer of the Oswell Razor Party has died? ’

He saw several embarrassed figures running frantically down the street, followed by a group of pursuers.

The leader was a one-eyed man with a scar on his dark face, which gave the man a somewhat fierce temperament.

At this time, several more gunshots were fired, and a person next to the one-eyed man was shot and fell to the ground screaming.

"Boss, save me!"

The one-eyed man ignored his younger brother's cry for help and just continued to run away desperately.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a burst of red mist spreading from all directions.

The mist passed a few people and rushed towards a group of pursuers in the rear.

All the pursuers looked stunned and quickly stopped.

But at this time, a gunman was shrouded in red mist, and suddenly he felt a biting chill coming over him.

His body gradually became cold and weak, his teeth were chattering, his brain was confused, and his vitality was rapidly passing away.

"me."

When he was about to say something, he suddenly pointed the gun at his head uncontrollably.

boom--

When the red mist dissipated, whether it was the one-eyed man from the Razor Party or the group of hostile gang members who were chasing him, they saw a short figure in a cloak standing in the middle of the street, with the body of the gunman lying next to him after he committed suicide.

"Ah - it's extraordinary, run!!!"

These gang members in the lower city who usually kill a lot of people were frightened and turned around and ran away without hesitation.

Soon a group of people used all their strength and disappeared at the end of the street.

‘The Rancher’s [Spiritual Mist] is quite practical. Not only can it isolate the enemy’s perception, but it can also turn the mist into a ghost to attack.’

Carlin, who was still in hiding, concluded that he had just used the rancher's ability to attack for the first time.

That red mist is the rancher's core ability [Spiritual Mist], which is a domain-based ability. The mist can turn into violent ghosts to possess and attack enemies.

The enemy's spirituality will also be eroded in the fog, especially their perception will be weakened. If necessary, the fog can be turned into substance for defense.

Moreover, ranchers can also cultivate shepherd dogs and lambs, and coupled with the divination and reconnaissance abilities of the Holy Spirit Path, it is completely the standard occupation of the behind-the-scenes BOSS just like the Secret Puppet Master.

At this time, Kalin thought of the powerful concealment ability gained after integrating the "Black Codex", and this time he looked more like a behind-the-scenes BOSS.

‘Why do I feel that except for "Purification Spire", the other three semi-god-level secret professions are either Lao Liu or Voldemort. Am I going to go further and further on the road of no return as the behind-the-scenes BOSS? ’

When Carlin was thinking about the problem, he did not leave the people he had just rescued aside. Snicki directly asked the one-eyed man: "Are you one-eyed Scott?"

A trace of fear flashed across One-Eyed Scott's face, but he immediately suppressed the fear in his heart and bent down to salute Snitch.

"Thank you for your help. Can you just call me Scott?"

Carlin controlled Snicki and asked directly: "What's going on in the lower city recently? It feels very chaotic."

"Since the past three months, there has been no peace in the lower downtown area of ​​Wayne City."

Scott smiled bitterly after hearing Snitch's question.

"In the beginning, it was just one young man after another in the midtown area who disappeared, but they are not only extraordinary people but also the backers of some gangs in the lower city area. Behind every large-scale gang there are extraordinary people like you.

And those gangs were in danger after it was discovered that they had lost their backers, and fights in the lower city became more frequent.

Then several gangs were suddenly exposed to be involved with the cult, and were destroyed overnight according to the will of the big shots in the upper city. A new round of disputes arose in order to compete for these vacated territories and businesses.

Although there was some chaos at this time, the situation was still controllable. The big gangs tried their best to let their subordinates exercise restraint to avoid intensifying the conflict.

But when Lord Charlotte of the Moriarty family came to Wayne City, the chaos was out of control.

First, some small and medium-sized gangs were inexplicably involved in the case that Master Charlotte was responsible for, and either suffered heavy losses or were directly destroyed.

Then the collapse of Lehman Brothers also involved the direct destruction of a number of gangs. I heard that this matter also involved cult groups, and no one in the Lower City dared to discuss it openly.

After that, Boss Drake was also killed by a mysterious man. Uh.”

As he spoke, Scott suddenly realized something horrifying. The figure in front of him was very similar to the description in the wanted order that was recently spread across the city at the speed of light and canceled at the speed of light.

"I killed Derek, keep talking!"

The look of awe flashed across Scott's face, and his voice became more respectful.

"After Drake's death, the big gangs he protected also lost their backers. The events that happened one after another left too much space in the Lower City area, filled with small gangs and ignorant young people. Ascend.

We, the Oswell Razor Party, are quite famous in the downtown area, and we also have a transcendent person as our backer. And that person was recently confirmed to be dead, so we have also become the target of other gangs. "

There was a sudden movement in Karin's heart and he immediately controlled Snitch and asked: "During the last ten days of the Cooking Month, did many extraordinary people die?"

Scott answered honestly: "Well, the number is not many, only six, but they die too frequently."

"Do you know who it is?"

"I do know that. After all, they are considered respectable and respectable people in Midtown. Five adults, Keith, Nice, Rhine, Sol, Margaret, and Maxwell, were either confirmed dead or missing within ten days."

‘Nice and Rhine are my fault’

After hearing this, Karin's expression fell into reminiscence.

'But Thor, Margaret, and Maxwell, are you three missing too, or did you disappear after becoming extraordinary beings? It has been ten years since we left the orphanage, and now I am the last one left.'
