Gardiner's voice broke the uneasy silence of the atmosphere instantly. Noises sounded from all directions of the pit. Although nobody did anything, but it was apparent that everybody had run out of patience, which was why Gardiner's remarks got all of them going. Nobody wished for that stalemate to go on, all of them desired the inheritance in the pit greatly.
Gardiner shouted once more, "Dear bosses of the Alvin League, what more are you waiting for? Show us your power, come on!"
Nobody did anything drastic. The members of the Alvin League naturally would not take any action just because Gardiner jeered at them.
All of a sudden, a ray of light shot out from one edge of the pit directly at one side of its walls. The moment this light appeared, the Puppet Fighters at the bottom of the pit started moving as if they were agitated. They could not make any voices, but the low sounds they made whenever they moved made people anxious and stressed.
The Puppet Fighters began to move increasingly faster all of a sudden. It was as if they were zombies in a movie, they climbed up the stone walls of the pit in a frenzy, rushing towards the spot where the light shone. The person hiding in the passage was scared pantless the moment the light shone at him. No one expected that the Puppet Fighters could climb walls!
Just as the person hiding in that opening was about to make his escape, the light suddenly disappeared and shone towards another direction. The frenzied Puppet Fighters suddenly stopped moving, then rushed toward the spot where the light had just shone.
The sudden appearance of the light was not to instruct the Puppet Fighters to kill, but to break free from the situation they were in. The owner of the light kept shining the flashlight at different spots so that the Puppet Fighters would run around in the pit.
When they discovered that the Puppet Fighters could climb the walls, ideas sparked in their minds instantly. More than a dozen beams of light appeared in the pit, leading the mindless Puppet Fighters around.
"Looks like many members of your Jin Group have died in here." Henry said as he lay on his stomach at the opening of their passage while observing the situation before him. He squinted his eyes and watched everything that happened before him. He recalled Ranjeet saying that everyone from the Jin Group entered there with flashlights. However at that moment, the flashlights seemed to have been distributed very messily, and those who started the chaos were not members of the Jin Group.
More than a dozen beams of light crossed each other on the stone walls around the pit. The Puppet Fighters moved around aimlessly like a group of zombies, charging towards wherever the light shone brightest.
"Focus the light over here, stop shining all around. Those things are coming!"
"Work together. Don't fight alone. We have to unite our forces, hurry!" A man yelled in panic. Numerous Puppet Fighters rushed at him as three beams of strong light shone on him, making him the first target.
"Stop attacking randomly, look members of the Alvin League!"
All sorts of shouts sounded, and the entire pit was instantly thrown into chaos.
Panjit who had been lying on his stomach beside Henry all along pulled out his flashlight and shone it at the source of light that took the lead in wreaking havoc.
Henry had seen that flashlight before, it was definitely a super-enhanced version. The entire pit lit up as soon as Ranjeet flicked on his flashlight, and those who lurked in the other openings of the pit could be clearly seen.
At the source of the light that started the chaos stood Gardiner.
"F*ck, who the hell pulled out the sun from his pockets!"
Gardiner cursed and cover his eyes with his hand. The Puppet Fighters were attracted to the powerful ray of light and all charged towards Gardiner in unison.
