I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 502 - 117: Sealing One’s True Nature (4,500 Words) (Part 3)

The success rate of creating a Puppet is extremely low, so saying it's one in ten thousand is not an exaggeration. Therefore, overall, the value of a Puppet is absolutely not less than that of an Apprentice Death God.

Hence, for an Apprentice Death God to receive their own Puppet for free is the greatest benefit provided by the Death God Organization.

In fact, Death Gods and Mercenaries are similar. Both types of people don't care about morality and enjoy trampling on trust and promises.

To them, there is almost no difference between companions and enemies, just whether they want to engage in backstabbing and how profitable it would be.

So, many times, most Apprentice Death Gods spend their entire lives without finding a trustworthy companion, someone they can entrust their backs to.

But the birth of Puppets broke this deadlock because these children have etched the word "loyalty" into their genes.

Yun You recalled what she had seen and heard before.

One month ago, she took out Yang Lie, and afterward, Aurora and Frost Moon found a child covered in wounds in Yang Lie's luxurious mansion.

The child was barely in her teens, with severe malnutrition making her less than 1.2 meters tall, looking like a bean sprout, and her body was full of visible whip marks and abuse scars.

Obviously, for a long time, she was just a Puppet for Yang Lie to vent his desires and frustrations, never treated as a "person," let alone a "companion."

Aurora wanted to help her, but upon learning of Yang Lie's death, the child immediately chose to commit suicide by dashing her head against the wall, without a moment's hesitation.

Because Yang Lie had given her an order — if I die, you must die. And a Puppet's vocation is unconditional obedience.

Aurora and Frost Moon were stunned at the time and hurried to restrain her, trying to erase the command from her mind.

But they were too late... so in the end, they could only watch helplessly as the child slowly lost her life.

Puppets are such an inhuman but extremely important entity to Apprentice Death Gods that even someone like Old Jin, who harbors ideals, is equipped with a Puppet — Shiqi.

What the Huangxing Group lacks now is a helm in the field of network electronics, and Yun You also lacks such an assistant.

Frost Moon's ability is pretty good, but after all, he needs to be responsible for the personnel department and definitely can't manage these trivial matters.

That's why Tian En asked Yun You if she had obtained her own Puppet.

"I haven't received one yet, and in the future... I don't really plan to get one either."

Yun You shook her head, giving her answer.

"Oh? Why is that?"

Tian En raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "This is a benefit given by the Death God Organization, wouldn't it be a waste not to take it?"

"Then why haven't you and Yuanbao taken one?"

Yun You didn't answer, instead asking in return.

"..."

In an instant, Tian En fell silent.

The reason she and Yuanbao didn't want a Puppet was simple — the birth of a Puppet is so cruel that even the most ruthless butcher would feel terrified.

A one in ten thousand survival rate for modification... This means that the birth of each Puppet is often accompanied by the corpses of a full ten thousand innocent children.

Tian En couldn't convince herself to use such power.

"Your reasons are my reasons."

Yun You responded calmly, "Besides, compared to Puppets, I prefer real, living people."

"Working with you allows me to suppress the hatred and rage in my heart towards Nest City."

"Otherwise..." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The little girl grinned, revealing a sweet smile.

"I'd probably really become a butcher."

When she said this, the girl was clearly smiling, yet somehow, Tian En felt a chill bone-deep.

She clearly understood that Yun You wasn't lying.

This girl might be a natural monster, only temporarily binding the monstrous side with the shackles called "kindness" and "humanity."

Perhaps... when she loses all her shackles, the true monster will unleash all its seals.

But Yun You herself does not want that day to come.

And others won't wish for that moment either.
