648 The Puppet Version Of “A Chinese Ghost Story” (Part 2)
Although the scholar puppet possessed self-awareness, it was only the most basic self-awareness. It could understand and act according to Fang Jinyu’s words.
However, it couldn’t adapt to the situation.
It was rare to see a puppet like “Fang Qianer.” It was considered a rare item even in the immortal realm. She was still qualified to enter the Immortal Palace even if Fang Jinyu didn’t strengthen her several times. Of course, she wouldn’t become an immortal lord. However, she would become a natural oddity for people to visit.
The Immortal Palace had quite many such natural oddities, and the Immortal Palace had very few restrictions on such oddities. Therefore, one could often see natural oddities flying around and playing freely.
The Immortal Palace had deliberately created the scene for natural oddities to play freely.
The scholar puppet walked on the pitch-black mountain of “Unbounded.” Although every step it took was normal, it instantly crossed several kilometers.
However, the scholar puppet still failed to leave the mountain of black rocks after walking for quite a while in such a way.
Fang Jinyu wasn’t surprised by it.
Fang Jinyu had already “seen” the size of the mountain beneath his feet. It was as big as a dynasty.
However, living beings were scarce on such a terrifying mountain. Even snakes, insects, rats, and ants could be said to be extremely rare, let alone people.
It was also why Fang Jinyu almost thought he had arrived in the netherworld.
Some of the characteristics of this place were too much in line with the world’s understanding of the netherworld.
However, it wasn’t as if no living beings were on the mountain. At the very least, there was a monk who was suspected to be a living being in the place where Fang Jinyu had sent the scholar puppet.
The monk was an elder. Even his eyebrows were white, but he looked kind, which was in line with the world’s understanding of eminent monks.
However, Fang Jinyu could see that the thing wasn’t a human.
However, Fang Jinyu had some doubts as to what its true form was.
It wasn’t that Fang Jinyu couldn’t see through it, but that the kind-looking monk was a skinny little monk who seemed to be starving for a long time…
It was somewhat inexplicable.
A young monk was hiding inside a kind-looking old monk. Moreover, the old monk contained evil energy, huh?
Fang Jinyu thought, “A young monk is hiding inside an old monk?”
Fang Jinyu had never seen such a strange evil before.
The scholar puppet suddenly stopped because Fang Jinyu sensed that someone had approached him.
She was a person who looked like Cthulhu’s relative, but she looked to have had even more serious mental trauma than Cthulhu. Livor mortis hands filled her head. Some of the hands hadn’t rotten; some were rotten, leaving only white bones; some were half-rotten. Her “muddy” appearance was indescribable.
In addition, the person’s body kept emitting evil energy. She left numerous corrosive marks on the ground as she walked.
The person had also discovered the scholar puppet. She subconsciously took a step back when she saw the scholar puppet. At the same time, she subconsciously wanted to cover her face with her hands. However, when she moved her hands, she realized that there were so many hands above her head that they couldn’t cover her face. Thus, she froze.
However, although she didn’t move, it didn’t mean that the scholar puppet didn’t move either. The scholar puppet gave a respectful bow before speaking in a voice, “I’m a student, and my name is Su Daoqi. Young lady, I’m here to greet you.”
Although the person looked to have had even more serious mental trauma than Cthulhu, Fang Jinyu could see that she was a beautiful and graceful woman.
The hands on her head, the evil energy around her, and the corrosive, filthy liquid came from a curse that applied to her but didn’t belong to her!
Everything was the manifestation of the curse and had nothing to do with her.
When Fang Jinyu saw her “original form,” he couldn’t help but feel curious.
A young monk who was about to starve to death was a kind-looking old monk. However, the person who looked like an evil spirit was a beautiful woman.
What a wonderful and strange twist!
Of course, Fang Jinyu cared so much because he was excited to see the prey. The curse applied to the woman was something he had never seen before.
“You… What did you call me?” As for the woman, she was naturally stunned when she heard the scholar puppet address her as such.
“Young lady. If you don’t like it, I can change to another way to address you.” The scholar puppet continued, its voice no longer dull. After all, it only possessed the most basic form of self-awareness.
The young lady was startled and asked sharply, “Why did you address me as a young lady?”
“Because you’re a girl.”
The scholar puppet, which only had the basic form of self-awareness, answered in a daze. However, its words were the most beautiful in the world for the young lady, who had suffered endless pain, coldness, torture, and injustice.
At this moment, the scholar puppet continued to move toward the “target” that Fang Jinyu had given him.
Fang Jinyu had just given him the task of greeting the young lady and seeing what she did. If she made any moves, he would strike back. However, the young lady didn’t attack, so the scholar puppet naturally carried out the first task that Fang Jinyu had given him.
