Maria of the Star Clock Tower

Is this how you transition scenes?

Watching the Doll's demeanor seamlessly shift from gentle to chilling, You Fei's aching brain felt a moment of quiet.

Wait, is the woman standing in front of her really Doll?

Because of the existence of the Image Stone, some people in this world have already begun to explore shooting things similar to movies, and some shooting techniques have begun to take shape, including the connection and transition between various scenes.

You Fei felt that she had seen many videos, but the feeling she just experienced was something she could never have felt in any video.

Just looking at the Doll from behind, it exuded a faint tranquility and gentleness, giving the feeling that if you went on an adventure, she would pray for your safe return, and even if you unfortunately died on the adventure, the Doll would silently offer a bouquet of flowers at your grave.

However, when she turned around, her beautiful dress seamlessly transformed into a cool hunter's outfit, somewhat similar to what Fan En and the others wore, but with slight differences in the details, showcasing both the charm of a woman and the demeanor of a hunter.

Both the scene transitions and the costumes are very aesthetically pleasing, demonstrating an exceptionally high level of taste.

A change in clothing might not seem like much, but the Doll's overall demeanor has been completely altered.

His gentle face, which rarely changed expression in the past, was now replaced by coldness and murderous intent. His slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his twin swords of different lengths gleamed with a cold light. Whether it was his expression, appearance or posture, he had completely changed!

You Fei was very confident in her eyesight. She recognized that the Doll's posture was completely consistent before and after the transformation. What could make her change her style so drastically in an instant?

In such a serious setting, You Fei suddenly had a somewhat inappropriate thought:

I really want to learn how to seamlessly change one's demeanor using the "empathy" technique!

But forget it, what if I look at something random again and it turns out the same as before? She felt she would never forget Mensis Running Man.

Although it was still a bit out of place, she felt that the Doll was already full of tension just by standing there, cool and stylish, which naturally attracted the affection of a girl like her. She had always wanted a cool older sister, but unfortunately, Jia Paer was disappointing, and she was the only child in the family.

But why does this woman look so menacing?

Hey, why are you walking towards me?

After empathizing with Fan En, You Fei became very sensitive to the underground city, experiencing a state of acclimatization. The insufficient amount of blood from her blood therapy also prevented her from adapting quickly, causing her to easily hallucinate whenever her vision shifted, seeing things like the invisible, the Blood Moon, and the Running Man character. Her mental resistance was greatly reduced.

This caused the mutants to take over her body at an unprecedented speed, and she could only watch helplessly!

The "Doll" not far away suddenly disappeared and then suddenly reappeared in front of her, raising two swords of different lengths to one side of its shoulder at the same time, about to strike down. It looked very powerful, and you could tell from the first move that it was a move that was meant to kill.

It was completely unexpected for You Fei. She thought her opponent was the type who attacked with elegance and speed, but she didn't expect that he would have some violent and powerful characteristics!

Is the other party trying to kill her? Without the Teleportation Crystal, she'll truly die here!

On the way here, Fan En had briefly explained to her that this underground city possesses the ability to resist parasites, and it also actively attracts those who are parasitized into the underground city. Nine times out of ten, those who are parasitized cannot come out and die inside.

So the current situation is that the dungeon has treated me as a parasite and sent monsters—no, experts—to deal with me.

Looking at the "Doll" in front of her, You Fei still didn't want to describe it as a monster, but a strong urge to make sarcastic remarks and a faint sadness lingered in her heart. She clearly felt that she could still be saved!

"Bang!"

The weapons clashed!

The mutant controlled You Fei's body and instantly raised its spear, colliding it violently with the "Doll's" weapon, Fallen Leaves, with blinding sparks exploding in an instant.

The "Doll" took a step back, while You Fei staggered back several steps, her movements uncoordinated. This was because the mutant had not yet fully gotten used to controlling her body; to put it simply, it was like Lion Ape whose head had been turned off and was being controlled by insects.

You Fei was surprised that such a physique could have the power to suppress her. What she found even more strange was that, in the instant of their exchange, she realized that the other person's body was not Doll, but a living person!

Not Doll?

Yes, of course it's not Doll.

This is the prototype for the Doll, a well-known and popular character from Bloodborne.

Maria of the Star Clock Tower!

Maria's figure vanished again, only to reappear in front of You Fei. Her graceful Hound Step, were unpredictable.

Although You Fei couldn't control her body, she still retained her vision and could observe the outside world. She had to concentrate fully to keep up with the other person's movements. Where did this powerful person come from?

The stronger the monsters a dungeon can produce, the richer its resources are. She now felt that the dungeon she was in was no ordinary one.

The spear thrust out swiftly, aiming straight for Maria's vitals. This spear already possessed some of You Fei's essence, and even battle aura had been attached to it. The speed at which the Hidden Blood Parasite adapted to the body was truly extraordinary!

Maria easily dodged the swift attack by simply taking a step back, without even getting her clothes dirty.

The mutant pressed its advantage, firing each shot with even greater skill than before. It had even calculated the possible dodge routes Maria might take and was prepared to change its tactics in advance.

However, the other party did not dodge, but came forward openly. What kind of hunter avoids his prey?

With the same powerful sword swing, the Fallen Leaves collided with the spear in an instant, and the spear was even deflected with a bit of skill. The slender figure spun along the spear and closed in on the mutant. The shorter blade instantly cut a bloody wound in You Fei's chest.

It hurts!

You Fei was watching with great curiosity as she watched her own body fight Maria. She was just marveling at the clean and efficient movements of Maria and the parasite's terrifying adaptability when a sharp pain shot through her the next second, making her laugh forever.

Why can I still feel pain while watching the game?

Please stop hurting my body. Just kill the parasites already. No, killing the parasites now is the same as killing my body.

On the one hand, she hoped that she could survive unharmed, but on the other hand, she did not want the parasite to take advantage of her body and run away to do evil. She was very conflicted. How could anyone be ready to sacrifice themselves so easily?

Well, since things have come to this, let's just enjoy this woman's fighting spirit for now.

After realizing that she couldn't do anything, You Fei chose to give up thinking.

"Ping ping bang bang—"

The clock tower was filled with the sounds of clashing steel. Two incredibly fast figures exchanged countless blows in the blink of an eye, tearing apart any furniture around them with the shockwaves generated by their clash.

Both are Warrior combine strength and skill, and their moves are highly entertaining. You Fei's deliberate showmanship and Maria's effortless grace are clearly evident, each with their own unique characteristics, making it hard to know where to look. It is truly a battle of equal strength.

Evenly matched? Not at all.

Although it seemed like the two were evenly matched, You Fei was actually being thoroughly suppressed. Every attack she made was like a dragon striking, but she couldn't even touch Maria's clothes. On the other hand, Maria didn't seem to be fighting with her full strength. She easily suppressed her opponent and left her with many wounds.

Their strength is truly unfathomable.

If there were Bloodlust spectators watching this fight, they would definitely be thrilled. Unfortunately, only You Fei was there to watch. Right now, she just wanted to pray that her opponent would kill her quickly and decisively, because she really couldn't stand the pain.

The mutated parasite became more excited than ever before, emitting a sharp hiss. It was unclear what effect the blood therapy had on it, but it was known that it could no longer utter a complete sentence, and its control over You Fei's body was almost identical to that of the original.

Its lack of combat experience made it feel that it was slowly getting stronger, and sooner or later it would be strong enough to unleash the full potential of this body and kill Maria, who was also white-haired!

As the mutants gradually grow stronger, they slowly gain control of You Fei's body. In essence, this means that their degree of integration with this body is constantly increasing. The more intelligent the mutant, the higher the degree of integration with the body. Abandoning it casually will lead to a series of consequences that harm itself, so they cherish suitable bodies very much.

This is a little bit of knowledge that Gong Qiying summarized by observing the habits of parasites over the past few days, although it may not be needed in a few more days.

However, the reason he asked Maria to hold back was to wait until the mutant and You Fei's body were almost deeply bound together, so that the mutant would no longer have the opportunity to break free easily!

An X-shaped slash erupted, Maria once again used even more power than before, directly knocking the mutant back, almost causing it to drop its spear.

Just then, the mutant pulled out a Repeating Crossbow from its waist!

A swordsman who can't use American-style Iaijutsu is not a good spearman!

However, Maria was a fraction faster, and in the blink of an eye, she pulled out a firearm that was even more advanced than the Hunter Pistol used by Fan En and the others, with a flash of muzzle flash!

The mutant instantly collapsed to the ground; in this duel of quick shooters, it was ultimately a step too slow.

"Great opportunity! Give me a good one!" You Fei shouted.

The parasite granted it superhuman regenerative abilities, and the gunshot wound in its chest healed at a visible speed. It was about to get up, but what followed seemed to be an endless tug-of-war, and it didn't know how many more cuts it would have to endure before things would finally stop.

However, at that moment, You Fei suddenly noticed that Maria on the other side had stopped moving.

Why did you stop? Are you no longer attacking?

Because the time has come.

"Pfft—"

The sound of a blade piercing flesh echoed inside the clock tower, under You Fei's shocked gaze.

Maria plunged the two swords into her own body, and her fragrant blood gushed out instantly.

You Fei: (ΩДΩ)!!

What are you doing!

At the same time, an indescribable sense of oppression emanated from Maria!
