Puppet had consciousness but was not in control of itself. On the surface, it looked exactly like a normal person. Even its movements and speech were normal.
However, when they were told to die, even if the puppet was afraid, they would still do as they were told.
This was the terrifying part of the Puppet Manipulation Technique.
Just imagine, a conscious person was made into a puppet and controlled against their will. That kind of fear and despair was unimaginable. It was torture worse than death.
For example, now that the puppet saw that Qin Xi and Han Shi were strangers, it wanted to escape.
However, even though the puppet subconsciously wanted to resist its master's order, its body immediately assumed an attacking posture.
Just as Qin Xi was about to attack, Han Shi beat her to it and slashed at the puppet with his saber.
