"Ha, ha, ha, isn't this body interesting?"
"Stop playing around."
The only one that was acting this way was Rothchild who had received Liith's body.
He was even playing around with her chest while he was saying this.
For him who normally had to act seriously all the time, this was a rare chance to throw everything away and just play around. That was why the moment that he entered this body, he started messing around with it.
The rest of us were all adapting to the feeling of controlling the puppets that we had created from these bodies, but it wasn't that hard to adjust.
After all, they had the experience that I shared with them through our shared senses.
Through that, they were able to figure out how to do it quite easily.
After taking some time to learn how to control these bodies, I said, "Is everyone ready?"
All of them gave firm nods when they heard this.
All of us already knew the plan since we had come up with it together, so there really was no need for me to explain anything. Rather, the only thing that we needed to do now was…
"Then let's start hitting each other."
As soon as my voice fell, everyone suddenly pulled out their weapons and started to attack each other.
It wasn't that there was falling out between us, it was just that we needed to make things look a bit more realistic. To do that, it was only natural that we would use real weapons against each other.
"Finally, I found someone!"
"Stop where you are and don't come any closer."
When these young Perfumers saw the dishevelled figure approaching them, their first instinct was to raise their guards since they were in an unknown place.
Only when that figure appeared, they realized that it was someone that they recognized.
One of the young Perfumers suddenly came forward and said, "Miss Lilith, what's wrong?"
One wouldn't attribute this dishevelled figure with the beautiful Lilith, but this was a true fan of hers which was why he had been able to recognize her with just a single glance. No matter what happened to her, he would have been able to recognize her as one of her fans.
There was even a part of him that had been filled with rage when he saw her heading off with someone else.
But as a true fan, he naturally believed that she would return to him one day.
Wasn't that day today?
"It was that Billy! He suddenly went crazy and attacked us!"
All of the Perfumers were surprised to hear this. It wasn't just the one that was her fan that was surprised, all of them were caught off guard since they didn't expect to hear this.
After a while, one of them couldn't help asking, "Miss Lilith, are you sure about that? Did you not encounter an illusion or something?"
There was a reason why Billy was regarded as one of the best among them.
If he had really attacked Lilith, then she wouldn't be here to talk to them.
So that was why they couldn't help being skeptical.
Lilith just shook her head and said, "It's not an illusion, it was him. All of a sudden, he turned around and started attacking us before we could do anything. If it wasn't for the fact that he was distracted by something, then we never would have escaped."
"Distracted? What do you mean by that?" One of the sharper ones picked up on this.
"It was as if his eyes became glazed over all of a sudden, as if there was something that made him lose focus."
The more that they heard this, the more that they were certain of one thing.
It wasn't that Billy had attacked them because he wanted to, but rather because there was something here that made him do it. Otherwise, they certainly wouldn't have been able to escape his attack.
Once they realized this, it didn't seem like they were paying any attention to Lilith anymore other than the one fan that she had. However, that fan didn't take her seriously and was just agreeing with whatever she said at this point.
All of them left Lilith's ranting to that one fan of hers while they were lost in thought.
Damn, why did even someone like him fall under the control of whatever is here.
That was the only thing that all of them could think of as they analyzed the situation.
If even someone like Billy was affected by whatever was in this place, there was no doubt that they would be affected as well. They might not even know what hit them before they were suddenly pulled under its influence.
This was something that was quite worrying…
"It seems like we have to find whatever we were looking for fast and get out of here. Otherwise, we'll be trapped like ants when the thing hiding inside of this place comes for us."
A united idea passed through their mind before they all turned in the different direction.
The direction that they had been facing previously was where the tunnel that Lilith came out of earlier was. Since they knew that Billy was in that direction, there was no reason for them to follow that path and run into him.
If they did, the only thing that they would be doing is putting themselves in danger by bringing themselves closer to Billy and whatever was controlling him.
In that case, they would go in the completely opposite direction.
"Can I come with you?" Lilith asked when she saw that they were about to leave.
They hesitated a bit, but eventually they agreed.
If the worst case scenario came, they would be able to abandon Lilith as a human shield since she was injured already.
But even though they thought this, Lilith didn't care.
There was a secret smile that appeared on her lips when she saw all of this.
After all, her plan had worked.
But it wasn't just her plan alone, it was also the rest of the puppets that had infiltrated groups of Perfumers. Follow current novels on NoveIＦire.net
