Especially after noticing that the elevator stopped, these models actually turned their heads and looked into the elevator.

Kallen was sure that if she dared to look away now, she would be torn into countless pieces immediately.

Of course, it is also possible that they will become one of them.

Kallen stared at the models intently, not daring to look away or even blink.

It was only three minutes, but Kallen felt like a lifetime.

The elevator door slowly closed. Kallen blinked her dry eyes after making sure that the models could no longer see her.

Then the elevator rose again, 6th floor, 7th floor... After Kallen confirmed that it had reached the 7th floor, she finally felt relieved. On this floor, with Lady Artemisia there, those things shouldn't be there, right?

But soon, Kallen's expression turned ugly again.

The elevator did not stop, but went directly to the 8th floor, the 9th floor... until it reached the 18th floor, and Karen saw the open elevator door again.

"Sure enough, in horror stories like this, elevators are not allowed!"

When Karen walked out of the elevator, she saw a group of people exchanging known information with each other.

Kallen even saw a few familiar figures inside.

That was someone else who worked in the same office with her.

"Card……"

A girl who was about to call Kallen over was stopped by another girl who seemed a little calmer.

"We don't know if there's something wrong with her identity. If she's one of those monsters, we might lose more men."

From the word "again", it can be seen that they seem to have been fooled once.

But at this moment, a man with long golden hair walked up to Karen and hugged her with open arms.

"Karen, I'm so glad you're okay."

"Well, my great inventor, I'm a very capable fighter. How could I be killed by something like this?"

The crowd confirmed that there was no problem in the communication between the blond man and Kallen, and then gradually approached.

"I'm sorry, Kallen. We've already had several of our companions killed by those damn puppets."

"It's okay. If it were me, I would also be cautious. But does anyone know what the situation is now?"

These people all shook their heads.

"All we know is that Lady Artemisia doesn't seem to be in the infirmary. The companions who went to investigate the infirmary earlier brought back Lady Airen."

Only then did Kallen see the frail-looking Ailen sitting on a chair.

I felt a little embarrassed when I saw the look in her eyes.

Without the visual device, her motor skills were even worse than those of an average person. Coupled with her severe injuries, she had already guessed that she would become a burden that held the team back.

"Do you know any other information? I have seven rules here, but two of them, one requires you to figure out for yourself, and one is incomplete, it seems to have been rubbed off."

"Seven? We found eight. Let's check and see if there are any new rules."

The man took out a notebook with eight rules written on it.

The first six rules were the same as the ones Karen had seen, and it was obvious that they were also found on the first floor, just like Karen.

But the last two rules were different from what Karen had seen.

Kallen only had a few words left.

But the rules in their hands are very complete.

"Rule Seven: What you see isn't always what you believe, and what you hear isn't always what you hear."

"Rule Eight: The magician once had three dogs. The white one liked to gnaw on the magician's leather belt, the purple one liked to eat meat, and the green one liked to gnaw on bones."

Kallen's expression was a little complicated. Although she didn't know the meaning of these two rules, she knew that they were probably key information used in combination with some key information.

Karen also wrote down the few words she saw in the elevator.

After watching it, everyone wondered whether the green color was related to the magician's dog.

After all, how could a dog come in green and purple varieties? Obviously, green and purple dogs have some information in them.

Combining the keywords "color", "green" and "escape" sent by Karen, the blond man seemed to have some ideas, but he couldn't tell what they were for the time being.

"Kallen, where did you find this rule?"

"On the elevator door."

When Kallen said this, everyone looked at her with a somewhat stiff expression.

"Karen, in a horror story like this, you actually took the elevator?"

"I didn't think about it at the time. Oh, by the way, when we got to the fifth floor, the elevator stopped, and I saw a dense crowd of puppet models. I don't know if they were all magic puppets that had lost control, but I kept staring at them, and they really didn't move. It seems the rule about not turning your back on them is true."

"Are those puppets on the fifth floor? Looks like we'll have to avoid that place in the future."

"But... the staff cafeteria is on the fifth floor, right? Will there be any problems if we don't go there?"

"It's fine in the short term, but if this so-called strange talk about rules takes longer, we'll have to find a way to get to the cafeteria."

Kallen suddenly thought of something and stretched out a finger.

"I have a good idea, but I don't know if it will work."

"any solution?"

"Since we can't turn our backs to them, and there are so many of us, wouldn't it be okay if we walked back to back?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Kallen scratched her head in surprise.

"What's wrong? Is this a bad idea of ​​mine?"

"No, Kallen, you're a genius. We can even form a big circle with a lot of people, so that there won't be any places we can't see when we walk. We can even blink alternately."

"Well, wouldn't that make it inconvenient for everyone to move around?"

"You know, in this situation, who can trust others with their back?"

Chapter 236: Strange Stories about Rules and Puppet Workshop (4)

Dem is not like Ratatosk. In Ratatosk, everyone is almost a club-like organization composed of like-minded people.

Although there are also industries and employees, those are just means for Elliot to make money for Ratatosk's organizational activities.

But DEM is different. DEM is a company and most of the people here are employees.

Although there are people who hate the elves and people who are full of awe for the old man Isaac, they are still a minority after all.

In the original novel, in the final decisive battle, Isaac's side only had the sub-elf Nibelcol and the mythical beast Bondski.

As for the real humans, there are only two of them, Elen and Artemisia.

It can be said that at that time he had used up all the people in DEM who truly believed in him.

And now, there may still be people in the DEM building who believe in Isaac, but in this situation, their belief in Isaac is of no use.

After all, other people only come to work for the salary. Now you are really working hard, who will play with you?

Trust each other?

Sorry, Japanese workplace doesn’t believe this.

Karin obviously knew this, but she still felt unwilling to accept that the plan she had come up with with so much difficulty was rejected.

The blond young man saw this and stood up.

"The method Karen proposed is not impossible. We can all find someone we trust and try it together. At least if we are surrounded, we still have a hope of escape."

"The great inventor..."

"Call me Otto. You always call me the great inventor or something like that. I don't have any amazing inventions."

"Who said that? Didn't Mr. Isaac praise the puppet you made yesterday? If it weren't for your puppet, Mr. Isaac's plan might not have been realized."

"Uh, unfortunately, I failed in the end."

"It's not your fault. You did your job well enough."

Ailian sat aside and listened to the conversation between the two, and suddenly felt as if an arrow had hit her heart.

If he could defeat that guy Nangong Shuo, the plan would go smoothly.

Unfortunately, there is no if, just like Ailian will never be able to defeat Nangong Shuo even if he tries a few more times.

"Speaking of which, can we dismantle one puppet to check what's wrong with these puppets? Then we can better deal with them when we face them, right?"

When Karen said this, not only the others, but even Otto felt his scalp tingling.

Although the joints of those puppets seem a bit stiff when they move, when it comes to a real fight, the one-on-one combat capabilities of those white puppets are no weaker than those of Dem's magician.

Even because they are inanimate objects, they can often give up their defense to deal a heavy blow to Dem's magician.

Most of the magicians who were captured before wanted to fight these puppets.

And the result is what it is now.

If you win, you will meet the next white puppet. If you lose, you will be dragged away by the white puppet.

"It's not a solution for us to stay here forever. Is there any way to contact Lady Artemisia?"

Everyone turned their attention to Ailian.

Ailian stammered and was speechless.

In fact, she still had Artemisia's contact information.

After all, the two of them had always trained and eaten together. Every now and then, when they couldn't climb the stairs anymore, Artemisia would carry them up...

Wait, this statement is a bit strange. Why do I feel like Artemisia’s girlfriend?

I am the most powerful magician in the world!

Well, Nangong Shuo has been completely excluded from the profession of magician by Ailian.

In short, the two of them were often together, so Elen naturally obtained Artemisia's communication method.

But there is absolutely no way to contact Artemisia today.

After all, Artemisia is not here today.

Artemisia was completely controlled by Nangong Shuo's one glance during the confrontation yesterday.

Although DEM's top management did not show any dissatisfaction with this, they also questioned Artemisia's ability.

Well, even if the reason why Artemisia has such poor mental resistance is because of the brainwashing that Dem gave her.

This time I went back, I wanted to test Artemisia's mental resistance.

As for whether or not she could pass the test, Ailian wasn't worried at all.

They are both magicians of the same level.

"Artemisia is not here today. She went back to DEM headquarters to test some data."

"Ah? Then aren't we doomed?"

"Woo woo woo, I haven't been in love yet."

"No, since the rules say we can trust Lady Artemisia, then Lady Artemisia will definitely rescue us. Before that, we just need to work hard to survive."

Everyone agreed when they heard this. They didn't know who made up these weird rules.

If there is really no chance to survive, then no one here will survive regardless of whether Artemisia comes or not.

What else is there to say? Just try your best to analyze it.

"Do you feel a little hungry all of a sudden?"

I don't know which foodie said this cautiously.

"As soon as these words were spoken, several gurgling sounds were heard by everyone present."
