Chapter 123
Just like this, three days passed, and every day the system watched the progress of the puppet Mianmian's body production slowly increase from 57% to 72%.
The black-haired little doll lying quietly on the production table already has delicate facial features and a pair of complete hands, but her lower limbs are still missing a leg, and the crystal source that serves as a heart is missing from her chest cavity.
It originally thought that Mianmian would wake up in about three days, but Yun Jinchu was called to the association that day, and when she came back, there were two people behind her.
To be precise, it was a royal attendant and a young doll that could walk freely.
"President Yun, Her Highness Mia just wants to see your puppet-making process. Please don't make things difficult for Her Highness." The attendant bowed respectfully, but his words were full of unquestionable toughness.
When Yun Jinchu heard this, he looked at the "Little Prince Mia" who caused a sensation when he appeared with a cold expression.
Facing her gaze, Mia tilted her head. Her absolutely delicate facial features revealed a sense of fragility and innocence that only a doll could have. Her soft, short silver-gray hair made her light blue eyes look even more crystal clear.
There is no doubt that its humanoid artist must have spent countless energy and efforts in making it so delicate and perfect.
The only thing that is an eyesore is its broken legs.
That’s right, this young doll called “His Highness Mia” had to “crawl” out of the garbage dump where discarded dolls were piled up because his legs were smashed and he lost the ability to walk.
And now, the honorable Princess Mia was sitting on an exquisite wheelchair, with her head tilted to look quietly and innocently at Yun Jinchu, the doll maker, with her lips as soft and fragrant as petals gently pursed.
It spoke, its childish voice seemed to be specially blessed by the Creator, as gentle and obedient as the gurgling stream: "Don't get me wrong, I just heard that your doll is almost finished, and I want to see the process of our doll being made bit by bit."
"I hope you can forgive Mia's rudeness. If you find it difficult, I can leave now."
The doll's light blue pupils curved a little, and its well-behaved and gentle attitude didn't make people feel offended at all. Instead, it made people want to reach out and ruffle its soft hair to make it happy.
But when it lowered its head and lowered its eyes, no one could see the strange smile in its eyes.
It was the first puppet Yun Jin had ever seen that could communicate normally like humans.
So after a brief thought, Yun Jinchu relaxed his expression and said, "I can take you to see it, but I hope you don't touch anything in my studio."
Miya's eyebrows curved slightly, and the little doll seemed to be happier after being promised. She slightly raised her slightly stiff right hand, tilted her head and said softly: "Of course, thank you for your trust and generosity."
Yun Jinchu ignored the sense of stiffness unique to a puppet and turned to walk forward. Listening to the sound of the wheelchair rolling behind her, she thought of the little puppet lying quietly in the protective shield in the production room. Only then did her cold expression soften a little.
She hoped that one day her little doll would be able to talk to her like Mia, stand up and walk around, and have its own independent thinking.
This is also the reason why she agreed to let Mia visit her exclusive production studio.
Detecting fingerprints and irises, as the protective doors opened one after another and they walked around the quiet and narrow corridor, through the special glass door, they could see at a glance the unfinished little puppet on the production table in the center of the production room.
When Mia saw the doll's body that was obviously in its childhood form, the sweet smile on her lips deepened slightly. She moved the knuckles of her right hand, and remained as fragile and harmless as usual when Yun Jinchu turned around and looked at her.
It was pushed in a wheelchair by its attendants and slowly approached the production table.
The wheelchair is raised to a certain height so that its vision is unobstructed.
Then you can clearly see the little doll lying on the production table, vivid and lively but lifeless.
It has black hair as soft as silk, facial features with the most perfect proportions, and its installed fingers are gently curled up like a human cub. It does not look like a puppet lying on the production table, but more like a child who is sleeping quietly.
Even though the little doll has its eyes closed and its tiny body still has many imperfections, anyone who sees it can immediately sense how much effort the doll maker has put into it.
"This is the most perfect doll I have ever seen." Mia tilted her head slightly to look at the dollmaker next to her. Her eyes, as clear as a kitten's, slowly blinked as she praised softly, "If you lived in that era, you would definitely become the best dollmaker."
Yun Jinchu ignored the surprise and envy in the attendant's eyes. He just pressed a button to raise another production table. Then he looked at the puppet Miya sitting in the wheelchair and said in a cold tone without any respect: "Since you are here to repair your body, then lie down."
After that, facing the attendant's gaze that condemned her rudeness, she added: "Don't worry, I have the most basic professional ethics, and I will never perform any dissection or exploration on your body other than treatment."
In her emotionless cold gaze, Mia seemed to be unaware of the cold treatment from humans. She curved her eyes in pleasure and replied with an innocent smile, "Thank you for your willingness to treat me. It doesn't matter if you want to do something to my body, as long as I have a chance to wake up."
It seemed to have no defenses against the dollmaker, and was filled with pure intimacy. When it tilted its head slightly, its short silver-gray hair became slightly messy and covered its eyelids. Only its trusting and innocent smile made people feel soft at heart.
Mia stretched out her hand and obediently allowed the servant to pick her up from the wheelchair and then gently place her on the cold and hard production table.
When Yun Jinchu put on high-precision mechanical glasses and walked over with repair tools, the little doll closed its eyes obediently and, like the other doll next to it, quietly allowed the doll artist to examine and analyze its body.
The system flew past the host's body and landed on Yun Jinchu's shoulder, and also curiously scanned Mia, the ancient little doll.
"According to the puppet information I found recently, puppets with higher levels have characteristics that are more similar to humans."
Yun Jinchu examined Mia's body while speaking at an even pace: "It is recorded in that ancient book that when a puppet has life, it possesses the most basic five senses, and the higher the level of the puppet, the more acute the five senses it possesses."
After saying that, she paused for a moment and asked the little doll who had opened its eyes and looked at her at some point, "So, are you afraid of pain?"
Mia pursed her lips, not knowing what she was thinking. After a brief silence, she raised her eyes again and smiled without any gloom: "I'm afraid of pain."
That's why it can't wait to ask the puppeteer to treat it, because the puppet's body is different from that of a human. After a human's legs are broken, they will atrophy over time, and the puppet will lose its pain nerves and become unconscious.
But the puppet cannot do that. It can feel the pain from every wound on its body at all times, and Mia is enduring the pain of broken legs at all times.
But the little doll, who is in excruciating pain, can still give a bright and well-behaved smile to any human being.
Yun Jinchu paused for a moment, then said to Miya, "I need to remove your heart and then repair your body."
When she received the relevant puppet information handed over by the royal family, she knew that puppets, like humans, relied on their hearts to survive.
However, a human heart will soon lose its vitality after being removed and the body will die, but the puppet's heart will not.
The dolls made by doll artists today also have hearts, but they are all expensive mechanical hearts available on the market. Not only can they not provide any power source for the dolls, they are also extremely valuable. A mechanical heart can almost empty half a lifetime savings of a doll artist.
Therefore, when making dolls, most humanoid artists will choose to fill the heart with the same material as the body, or simply leave the heart empty. Anyway, there is no difference in appearance.
As one of the world's top puppet makers, Yun Jinchu was acutely aware that the heart in Mia's chest must be very different when he saw this information.
Perhaps, it is the key to the puppet's "life".
"I need to remove your heart and then repair your body." She explained to the puppet in a daze, "Only in this way can I completely isolate you from the pain. Otherwise, if you dodge or attack because of the pain, it will be difficult for me to help you repair the injuries on your legs and body."
After saying this, she looked at the boy's hands, which seemed flawless on the surface but were actually severely worn, and waited quietly for him to make the final decision.
The attendant next to him widened his eyes in shock when he heard the words "take out the heart". After coming to his senses, he was about to angrily rebuke the vice president of the Doll Maker Association for his outrageous behavior, but Mia, who was lying on the production table, asked in confusion: "Will it stop hurting if the heart is taken out?"
Yun Jinchu nodded to it: "Your Majesty wrote this in the doll information he gave me. I heard that this was a repair step that every doll maker knew at the time."
After getting the answer, Mia clenched her over-worn fingers, pursed her lips and fell silent.
Yun Jinchu was not in a hurry either. She was much more patient with puppets than with humans.
