Her voice came from all directions, distant and ethereal, making it impossible to pinpoint its location.

As her voice rang out, the game system released a story mission.

[Game mission loading]

[Plot: You are now Su Deng, a detective at the XiXi Detective Agency. Two days ago, a private client contacted you, saying that his son went to the Puppet Castle to participate in a puppet exhibition and never came back, disappearing without a trace.]

You accepted this commission and came to the Puppet Castle in person to investigate.

【Important Notes:】

First, do not make eye contact with the green-eyed puppet.

Second, do not talk to the carpenter who is wearing red.

Third, there are three of your companions in this castle, two of whom are imposters.

Fourth, please do not trust any person or puppet in the Puppet Castle.

The castle was dimly lit, with only the dim light of the torches on the walls illuminating the interior. The golden fireplace was pitch black. Su Deng lit the white candle on the fireplace, held it in his hands, and walked out of the room.

In this ancient castle, all the paintings on the walls are of puppets, and puppets can be seen everywhere on the ground, lying haphazardly, sitting on the ground, or floating through the air, each with a string attached to its back.

As Su Deng walked over, their glass eyes began to dart around.

As for eye colors, they come in almost every color imaginable: red, orange, yellow, cyan, blue, and white.

There was no green at all.

Su Deng walked along the corridor when a dark shadow suddenly flashed past behind her, accompanied by a sinister and eerie laugh.

We've truly arrived at the puppet's den.

"One, two, three little children, four, five, six little wooden puppets, seven, eight, nine wooden puppets closed their eyes, and one of the little children secretly opened its eyes..."

A light and ethereal children's song suddenly rang out, and all the puppets in the castle closed their eyes, with a faint "rolling" sound like mechanical eyeballs turning.

When they opened their eyes again a moment later, all the puppets' eyes had turned green.
