Chapter 569 - 569 568 Large-Scale Foreign Terrain

?Chapter 569: Chapter 568: Large-Scale Foreign Terrain? Chapter 569: Chapter 568: Large-Scale Foreign Terrain? The living room on the first floor was completely silent, as quiet as the entire street outside. Everything still maintained the appearance of nightfall, while the wooden puppets and iron servants, driven by springs and Magical Mechanism, stood silently in their places—it seemed that until just the second before the “anomaly” occurred, they were still executing their cleaning commands according to their programmed settings.

With Alice nervously clinging onto his clothes, Duncan walked down the stairs, his eyes sweeping across the gloomy and silent living room. The sound of their footsteps echoed in this deadly silence, adding to the eerie setting.

While holding tightly to the captain’s clothes, Alice glanced sideways—a maid-shaped puppet was standing nearby, one hand supporting the stair railing. The puppet seemed to have been wiping the handrail just a moment ago. “She” maintained a slightly forward-leaning upper body posture with a bucket at her feet. However, like the other servants, “she” had come to a halt, and the characteristic ticking and gear friction sounds no longer emanated from within her.

Alice always felt that the puppet would suddenly turn its eyes toward her, just like in many horror stories—this thought terrified her tremendously.

“It’s so scary…” she muttered behind the captain, “Puppets are everywhere… It wasn’t so bad during the day, but now that they’ve suddenly stopped, it’s really scary… but it feels even scarier if they were to suddenly start moving…”

Duncan silently turned back, giving the naive puppet a peculiar look.

However, Alice didn’t notice… nor did she think she had said anything amiss.

Duncan shook his head and refocused on the “marks” he had left on Maurice, Fenna, and others.

These marks were still twinkling in his perception, but their state was extremely bizarre—at times, he could sense that these marks were right in this house or even right beside him. But in the next second, the marks would suddenly appear at a great distance, as if they had moved to the other end of the City-State, as though… they were teleporting without any pattern.
