Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

So, he continued: "Ru Die, quickly enter a dormant state. I'll put you in the bracelet and take you out for proper repairs."

Ru Die stared blankly at Sun Lingtong and Yang Chanyu, her voice soft and syrupy: "Are you really going to take me away?"

Sun Lingtong's large eyes shined with pure innocence: "Of course. It's our duty. Meeting us was actually good luck on your part."

"Don't worry! Once we take you out, we'll surely fix your eyes."

Ru Die nodded: "I am truly grateful to you. You are a good person!"

Sun Lingtong giggled and looked up at Yang Chanyu with pride.

Yang Chanyu couldn't help but roll her eyes at his smug expression, feeling both speechless and impressed by Sun Lingtong's tactics.

But in the next moment, Ru Die's expression changed dramatically, becoming extremely serious. Her eyes emitted a brilliant blue light, and her voice turned icy cold.

"Since you want to take me away, please recite the secret code."

Sun Lingtong's eyes widened slightly, utterly shocked by this turn of events.

Ru Die's gaze locked onto him as she continued: "If you want to take me away and you claim to be an inspector, you must know the secret code."

"So say it now!"

"Hehehe..." Yang Chanyu couldn't suppress her laughter at Sun Lingtong's unexpected dilemma.

Ru Die urged him: "Go on, say it immediately. Otherwise, you are a big liar and a bad person, and bad people should be punished!"

As she spoke, the wings behind Ru Die flashed.

Colorful light rapidly spread out, enveloping the entire space of the warehouse, transforming it.

In an instant, Sun Lingtong and Yang Chanyu found themselves surrounded by countless shards of colored glass.

The edges of these shards glowed with seven colors.

"What spell is this?!" Yang Chanyu's face changed, feeling secretly alarmed.

She had been "deceived" by Ru Die.

Yang Chanyu had secretly inspected Ru Die earlier, discovering that her main materials were of Foundation Establishment Level, so she hadn't given her much thought.

But now, Ru Die suddenly released a Quasi Golden Core Level spell, and it was cast instantaneously, without any prior indication of preparation.

This completely caught Yang Chanyu off guard, making her extremely cautious.

"This is turning out to be more dangerous than I thought!" Yang Chanyu's fresh observations revealed new findings.

The wings on Ru Die's back were extraordinary, with layers of array patterns that hadn't been activated earlier. With their activation, the patterns became visible, stunning Yang Chanyu.

What kind of advanced mechanical techniques could combine a bunch of Foundation Building Level materials to unleash Quasi Golden Core Level power?

Yang Chanyu glanced at Sun Lingtong, signaling him with her eyes, secretly agreeing to take action against Ru Die together.

Sun Lingtong, however, waved her off.

His face turned slightly pale, realizing he had gone too far.

They could not start a fight inside the Cloud Whale. If they alerted the Cloud Whale, their fate would be dire. After all, the Cloud Whale was a Nascent Soul Level entity.

Sun Lingtong's heart pounded, and sweat formed on his forehead.

He licked his dry lips and continued his act: "The secret code, right? Of course, I know it. Don't worry."

"But the question is, which code do you want?"

Ru Die looked confused: "What do you mean? I only have one secret code."

Sun Lingtong shrugged and spread his hands: "For you, there is only one secret code."

"But not for us."

"We know too many secret codes. Since we're inspectors, we have to use secret codes in situations like yours."

"It's because we know so many that I've forgotten which one you need."

Ru Die was stunned.

Sun Lingtong continued: "So can you give me some clues about the secret code? I need some reminders."

Yang Chanyu: "..."

Ru Die's expression changed as she pondered: "What you say does make some sense."

"So I'll tell you."

"The secret code is, Cloud fly, Cloud fly... Wait, wait!"

"If I tell you these codes directly, won't I just reveal them to you?"

She finally realized, widening her eyes and glaring angrily at Sun Lingtong.

Her aura grew stronger, clearly about to take action.

Sun Lingtong hastily waved his hands: "Wait, don't be hasty! I just asked for a hint, not the entire secret code."

Ru Die interrupted: "But you just said..."

Sun Lingtong also interrupted her: "What I just said might not have been clear, and you misunderstood."

"But that doesn't really matter, does it?"

"Look, I'm just a kid. It's normal if I can't explain things well."

"You just need to give me some clues, right?"

"I didn't ask you to reveal the whole secret code."

Ru Die tilted her head, scrutinizing Sun Lingtong from head to toe.

Sun Lingtong gazed at her with wide, innocent eyes.

She was moved once again, thinking that such a child couldn't be deceitful.

But after a long pause, she finally said: "Hmm... I still have some doubts about you, but I am willing to give you one last chance."
