In fact, it''s not human, and it''s not too surprising. The world is not only human. Not to mention animals and plants, it is not only elves, dwarfs and witches who have similar body structures to humans, not to mention the various races with other ethnic origins derived from human beings, or the exotic species such as vampires who have been transformed by magic. It''s just that what ATA sees still makes her uncomfortable. Because the thing she recognized was a doll, a doll that was too lifelike. Far view as a stage prop is not counted, very few people would like to have close contact with this kind of puppet at night, and the most frightening thing is the human and non-human.
The swordswoman''s back is against the wall of the house, and the blade is out of its sheath. The doll did not appear in the mage''s account at all, which showed that its appearance was unexpected by cheese. Seeing the puppet also means that there is another problem. The puppet will not move itself, nor will it patrol around the cabin silently. There must be a manipulator after it. It''s just not clear whether the operator is in the room now, or how he controls the puppet, and whether he can immediately get feedback from it to know that ATA exists. Thinking of this, ATA quickly looked around the environment and made a decision.
The reason why the puppet can''t make a sound is that the bottom of the feet supporting its action is not the sole of a human being, but the four pointed claws that open like bird''s claws. When the four pointed claws step on the soft soil, they will not make any sound, and even the footprints have only small holes that are very difficult to identify. After the claws are pulled out, the collapsed soil will completely cover them, It is impossible to identify such special footprints unless the structure of their feet is known in advance. It can be seen that this thing was not made by accident. It must have been someone or an organization who transformed the doll to perform certain tasks.
The figure reappears at the corner of the hut, with its dull brass head scanning the environment, and the mechanism on its raised arm opens into a crossbow. At this distance, the crossbow is powerful enough to pierce metal armor. The premise is that it has a armor to shoot. In front of dolls, there should be a place for human women, and there is no one in this space. Where did she go?
With the crossbow machine in hand, the puppet moves along the wall after a short period of doubt. It has no illusion, and the situation just happened is not false. And the footprints on the ground also show that a moment ago, there were people here. Hiding in the grass? The crossbow of the puppet crossed the direction of the maze. Except for the Bush walls, there was no grass or other shelter for people to hide in. She''s hiding in the maze? This is a reasonable inference, but the complex terrain in the maze is not suitable for catapult shooting. Then the other arm of the doll shakes slightly, and a short blade is ejected from the palm of its hand. The dim color on the short blade indicates that it can not only cause stabbing injuries.
One step, two steps, the puppet carefully close to the maze, it a knife and a crossbow, the posture is no less than professional soldiers. The shadow of the hut no longer covers it, and the puppet has a distance from the wall.
"Click!" The planks on the roof groaned. This is a very dilapidated house. It''s not strange when the roof collapses. But at this moment, it''s just because of coincidence that it makes a sound. The possibility is too low. So the truth is, it''s the sound of ATA''s feet as he jumps off the roof. The swordswoman did not disappear. She just climbed to the roof. The effect of this is better than she expected, the other party not only did not find her trace, but also mistakenly walked away from the wall to the open. There was no reason for her to miss the opportunity and launch a surprise attack from above.
Although the decaying roof revealed ATA''s intention, she was on top, and the puppets were below. One sneaked in from behind and the other was facing forward. Even if the puppets responded, it was too late. But the swordswoman made a mistake. She took her goal as a creature like herself. She didn''t realize that human common sense was not applicable to dolls. So when the man was in the air, ATA saw how the lower part of the figure remained still. The upper part of the figure was divided by a gap in the waist. It quickly rotated 180 degrees, turning the enemy''s side from the back to the front.
The swordswoman could not help but think about it. She immediately laid frarag across her chest. Almost at the same time, a crisp sound burst out on her chest and wrist, accompanied by sparks and tremendous force. It was the puppet''s Crossbow that hit the blocking sword. The impact even changed atta''s flight path, pushing her back against the wooden walls. The impact in front of her body has not been resolved, and the wall behind her gives her a firm hand. The swordswoman only feels that there is a wave in her belly, and there is a wild animal roaring in her chest. However, she did not have a chance to savor the pain, because the puppet had been killed.
"Ding!" The iron thorn like a bird''s claw can be held up. Leaning against the support of the wall behind, ATA pushes hard to push the doll away from the front. The effect of this push was better than she expected, because the doll was so light and terrible that if it was too heavy, it could not stand on the ground with eight spikes. Once again, the pushed figure twisted its joints in a way that humans could not do, and landed on the ground with one leg before falling. It didn''t mean to be depressed or pause at all. The hand that held out the short blade raised its hand and cut it according to the female swordsman.
The situation suddenly fell into a passive position. Behind ATA was the wall, and the room for turning was extremely limited. However, her opponents were constantly attacking from various directions with their hands and feet. The biggest problem in fighting with puppets is that they can''t be predicted. In the face of flexible joints, the experience of fighting with human beings has become a burden. Every attack should focus on 12 points of spirit, and there is no time to plan a counterattack.This is not the way to do it, not to mention the physical energy consumed in the standoff. Now their noise must have alarmed the people in the room. If the puppet operator was here, the consequences would be unimaginable. What to do? In the final analysis, the puppet is a dead thing. The ability of the puzzler can''t work on it, so we can only find a chance to defeat it. Wait, dead things, dead things don''t move out of thin air, right?
When ATAH was traveling, he also saw people performing puppet shows on the street. No matter how the puppets were made, they were controlled by the lines in the hands of the performers. Although the puppet in front of us is not necessarily in this way, it must still have something to depend on. As long as we find out the dependence and cut it off, the puppet without the operation line will not be threatening. Thinking of this, the female swordsman finally found a little hope to get rid of the current predicament, and then, how to seize the hope and turn it into victory. Come on, tell me, where is your line?
