Chapter 128 (Catching Bugs)
The little doll walked back briskly.
The cold moonlight fell on it, stretching its small shadow very long.
It closed the door, walked into the living room, went upstairs, and stood outside Yun Jinchu's bedroom.
The puppet raised his hand and prepared to knock on the door.
But a momentary pain in his mind made him suddenly retract his fingers.
Yun Mian covered her head and silently endured the sudden outburst of emotions in her mind. When she raised her head again, the clarity in her eyes had disappeared.
Not far away, the system that was originally planning to fly over and talk to the host about the main quest, suddenly slipped away and cowardly went back.
At this moment, the word danger was written all over the little doll.
Unless it wanted to finish the mission and be scrapped early, it would absolutely not rush over in such a dangerous situation!
It's just that the host's mind was overwhelmed by the soul in the crystal source...
No wonder the world level sent by the General Administration was marked in red.
Yun Mian looked at her raised hand, tilted her head, and a flash of doubt passed through her eyes.
She seemed to not remember why she was standing there, or rather, she remembered her actions but could not remember why she did those things?
But in this room, the little doll thought for a second and knocked on the door decisively.
The door was quickly opened from the inside.
Yunmian looked up at the dollmaker who was wearing home clothes and had clear eyes. When the other party asked it what was the matter, it turned and pointed to the living room downstairs.
The little puppet slowly told the puppeteer word by word: "Ugly puppet, I lost it."
He didn't try to hide the bad thing he just did!
I don't feel guilty at all.
Yun Jinchu: “…”
She led the doll downstairs, and after seeing the empty and broken window, she was silent for a moment, then looked helplessly at the little doll standing quietly aside.
"Where did you leave it?"
Upon hearing the puppeteer's question, the little puppet questioned her first: "You want to get it back? That ugly thing?"
The originally childish voice concealed a hint of sharpness, and the hidden murderous intent even made Yun Jinchu frown and take two steps back.
Yun Jinchu looked at the puppet she had created with her own hands. At this moment, she was already very sure that there was something wrong with the heart placed in the puppet's chest.
But the direction of the problem seemed a little different from what she had imagined.
In the silent confrontation, the little doll became more and more violent, and it completely forgot about the "endure and disguise" that the voice in its head told it when it woke up. Now it just wanted to get the ugly doll back, and crush it into pieces bit by bit in front of the doll maker!
Yunmian couldn't tolerate seeing a doll that looked very similar to herself.
It cannot tolerate its doll maker having more dolls.
Even if it is lifeless, it is not allowed!
Thinking of this, the little doll looked up at Yun Jinchu, who had an uncertain expression, and told her confidently: "I was lost, turned into garbage, and will never come back."
Although she didn't quite remember why she did that, Yunmian felt that she had done nothing wrong!
After saying that, its empty black pupils passed Yun Jinchu again and looked at the window behind her which was filled with all kinds of dolls. It couldn't help but move its knuckles slightly.
Yun Jinchu: “…”
Listening to the little guy's fierce and righteous voice, she didn't get angry. Instead, she had a strange urge to laugh.
If someone were to ask her now what her first impression of her doll was, she would answer without hesitation: honesty.
This is an honest little puppet who never lies.
Not only will he not lie, but he will also inform her immediately after doing something bad.
Like a moody child who tries hard to make trouble to get the attention of his parents.
But the little doll is still a child, a child who has just been born and is not even 24 hours old.
But the look of the little doll towards the window behind him seemed a bit dangerous.
And think of it staying up late at night and getting up to work just to drag out the dolls it doesn't like and dispose of them as garbage...
Yun Jinchu hid the smile on his face and said to the little doll that was staring at the window with some evil intentions, "It's thrown away, even though it's a pity."
Before the little doll could be affected by her words, she continued, "That was the first time I wanted to make you, so I piled up materials to make a mold. I originally planned to keep it as a commemoration of your birth..."
At this point, the doll maker sighed softly, seeming a little regretful, but those regrets were not because the doll was thrown away, but because of the little doll in front of him.
Yunmian was stunned when she heard the doll maker say these words.
The little doll's eyes were large and bright, and its dark pupils reflected the dollmaker's face, which was highly similar to its own, under the light. The strong emotions originally hidden in its eyes now turned into confusion.
What does this mean?
Doll makers, do you really treat your dolls so carefully?
Or is this figure-maker deceiving himself?
It’s a bit hard to tell the difference between Yunmian and Yunmian.
The disordered emotions and memories in its mind kept telling it not to believe the lies of the humanoid masters easily. All humans, including the humanoid masters, are cunning and dangerous.
But its unfathomable instinct deep in its soul quietly urged it to listen carefully to every word Yun Jinchu said, and then it couldn't help but believe her...
Yun Jinchu didn’t know what the little doll was thinking. He just looked at it with its face tilted up in a daze, reached out and picked it up. He didn’t ask about the whereabouts of the doll again, but took the little doll back to sleep.
"Go to sleep quickly. I'll take you to the Doll Artist Association to register tomorrow, and then I'll take you for a walk outside."
She touched the doll's soft black hair, covered it with a blanket, turned off the light, and walked out of the bedroom.
The bedroom fell into darkness again, but the little doll Yunmian couldn't fall asleep.
It endures the pain of its soul being constantly manipulated and torn apart. It is obviously painful, but the puppet has no tears. She can only lie on the bed and endure it all like a truly lifeless puppet.
You must love your mother and not hurt her.
Damn all doll masters! Damn all humans!
My mother was not angry at all. She really loves me the most.
The Dollmaker must be pretending again. She might want to take me to the Dollmaker Association and sell me to other humans as a slave!
I didn't even say goodnight to my mom...
The doll master woke up so promptly, maybe she hadn't slept at all! She had been secretly monitoring its every move!
Woo woo woo woo, I miss my mom. I want to hug her to sleep and listen to her tell me a nice bedtime story...
The other half of the soul: ...I'm tired, whatever you want.
Yunmian buried his face in the body of the plush doll dejectedly. He didn't need to breathe anyway, so he adapted well. He was just a little angry that he failed at the critical moment.
She fell asleep while she was sulking.
Tomorrow, mom will take it to the Doll Artists Association to register and bind the mother-daughter relationship. Yun Mian is very happy, but when it wakes up... it turns into that dangerous little doll again.
Its own soul power was really too small. When the other half of the soul forcefully suppressed it, no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't show up. It could only maintain a little bit of rational thinking and record everything it saw and happened.
Yun Jinchu took his little doll onto the aircraft. All the way to the Dollmaker Association, the little doll was quiet and didn't say a word.
Yun Jinchu also knew that the little doll was always too quiet, but sometimes the quieter it was, the more it might be thinking about.
Just like dragging that doll out and throwing it away last night...
After arriving at the Doll Maker Association, Yun Jinchu took the little doll down and placed it steadily.
Most of the association members who had known that she would bring the successfully made doll to register today have arrived. At this time, countless pairs of eyes were staring at the little doll she had brought down with fiery eyes.
It is only about one meter tall, and its appearance, exposed skin, fingers and other joints are all well-processed and smooth. The most important thing is that this little doll can walk like a human and make expressions.
Although it is a baby doll that looks completely different from the little prince Miya, the fact that it appears here and can walk and talk on its own means that the stone that Miya gave to Yun Jinchu a few days ago is completely useful.
The stone called Crystal Source is the key to awakening the doll and giving it life!!!
Thinking of this, the doll artists who regarded dolls as their professional hobby or even their lifelong pursuit couldn't help but breathe faster. Nogai, the president of the Doll Artists Association, took two quick steps to Yunmian and looked it up and down with his strange and excited eyes.
Yun Mian hated the way these people looked at her.
No matter what state Yun Mian was in, she was repulsed and even disgusted by this kind of gaze.
Because when they look at it, it will feel like it is just an object that will be picked up in people's hands, turned over, played with, appraised, and sold.
Just like those destroyed dolls in memory.
They were tied up and locked in shop windows to be sold, bought to be toys for entertainment in various places, and became slaves who were whipped, beaten, and even tortured...
Doll makers like to inject a red flowing liquid into the dolls' bodies when making them, which humans call "blood".
But the fact is that the existence of this blood has no other function except to accelerate the decay of the puppet's internal body.
But one day, the doll makers began to inject blood into the dolls without any prior agreement.
This is because it will increase the price of the dolls. Dolls that look more like humans are the most sought after and the ones that humans compete to buy.
Compared to ordinary puppets, puppets with blood flowing in their bodies will bleed when they are injured and when they are whipped. Simply looking at the puppet's expression of painful struggle is far from enough. Only the stimulation of scarlet blood can make those high-ranking humans feel the ultimate pleasure.
That is the superiority that can easily control a life.
Just one sentence can make a puppet bow down and be used for their pleasure like the lowest and most despicable livestock. It is absolute control.
There is no one who would not be obsessed with that feeling, without having to bear the moral condemnation or worry about whether his conscience is guilty.
Anyway, dolls are created to become commodities for humans to buy and sell, right?
As long as you buy the goods, no matter what you want to do with them, it is your business.
Humans have human rights, but puppets do not.
They are just a bunch of commodities glued together into a human form.
Yunmian now feels that these people are also looking at her as if she were a commodity.
It did not hide it at all, and it even heard some doll makers discussing that if they were able to create such dolls in the future, they would no longer have to worry about making a living for the rest of their lives.
The man had just finished speaking and was about to continue observing the puppet made by the vice-president when he suddenly ran into the dark eyes of the little puppet across the crowd.
It was too dark, like a pitch-black abyss with no bottom in sight, and he was standing at the entrance of the abyss, with only a hanging wire under his feet. If he was not careful, he might fall straight into the abyss, be swallowed and crushed, and there would be no chance of escaping from the darkness.
He shuddered violently, and when he came to his senses and looked over again, the little doll had already looked away.
...Maybe it was just my illusion?
After all, even if the puppet has life and emotions, it can't be as vivid as a human, so he feels panic. Is it just because the puppet's eyes are too dark, rigid and empty?
The doll maker breathed a sigh of relief silently, calming his somewhat rapid breathing and equally unstable heartbeat, and secretly sighed that he had been thinking too much recently and his imagination was too rich, even the abyss popped up.
He had no idea that he was actually hovering on the brink of death, and was just a little bit away from being killed on the spot.
"Mianmian, don't be dazed. Mom will take you in first." Yun Jinchu lowered her head and spoke softly, extending her hand to her.
Looking at the right hand that he had made himself right in front of him, the little doll's fingertips moved slightly without a trace, and the thin silk thread that had just been wrapped around the dollmaker's neck disappeared without a trace.
The system was hiding not far away and watching this scene. It hurriedly sent at least forty error messages to the General Administration, and the whole world was in a panic.
Something is wrong, everything is going wrong!!
In the first round, Mianmian was given the ability to make poison, so where did this thread come from that suddenly appeared and disappeared, and no one could see it? !
Wuuuuuuu Help! This world is really too difficult. It has not been able to have any successful communication with the host until now!
Yun Mian couldn't hear the system's crying, she just raised her hand and gently held one of Yun Jinchu's fingers, and was led by her to slowly walk forward under the annoying and scorching gazes of a group of doll makers.
When we arrived at the president's office, the door closed, blocking out the view from outside.
At the same time, Nogai, the president of the Doll Maker Association, was trying to hold back his rapid breathing and tried to touch Yunmian with trembling hands.
He wanted to see what was different about this first truly living puppet created by a contemporary puppeteer.
But before his fingers got close, the little puppet took a step back to avoid them.
Yun Jinchu also frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "President, I know you are very excited, but this is my puppet."
One of the unspoken rules among doll makers is that they are not allowed to harm the dolls they are working with.
This refers specifically to dolls that are not sold and have only one owner, the doll maker.
It's like someone else's treasure. You can covet it, but you must never steal or harm it.
Not only was Nogai not angry, his gaze towards the little doll became even more burning. Upon hearing what he said, he smiled and withdrew his hand, happily praising Yun Jinchu.
Yun Jinchu listened quietly, without any pride or other emotions.
It was completely different from her attitude towards her own dolls.
But it was obvious that even President Nogai knew how cold Yun Jinchu's personality was, so he was not affected at all and was still talking to himself excitedly. After praising Yun Mengjin a lot, he was about to take Yun Mengjin and the little doll to process the relationship contract when he received a message on the communicator on his wrist.
After clicking it open, he looked at Yun Jinchu and said to her, "It seems that the relationship bond will have to be established later. Prince Mia heard that you made a puppet with life, so he is on his way."
When Yun Jin first heard the word Mia, his eyes moved slightly, and he said to the president in front of him: "You really don't think puppets will cause harm to humans? The puppet riot back then..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the president.
"Don't think too much." Nogai said to her in the tone of an experienced person: "There are some things that you can't know now. You just need to make puppets well, make more puppets that are popular and sought after by everyone, and reproduce the glorious era of puppet makers. As for what kind of puppets will betray you... This is impossible. It was impossible before, it is impossible now, and it will be even more impossible in the future."
At this point, the old president glanced meaningfully at Yun Jinchu who seemed to be deep in thought. Then he pointed at the puppet beside her who had always been quiet, and said with a smile that was not concealed: "These little guys are just our tools. Don't think too highly of them."
After saying that, he walked out first, ready to take people with him to welcome the arrival of the little prince.
Yun Jinchu stood there, thinking about the president's strange attitude every time he mentioned the puppet riot incident. He didn't know what he had figured out, and his expression gradually became cold.
As for the little fellow who was not noticed by the president, Yun Mian lowered his head, looked at his toes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
These arrogant humans...
Damn it.
Ten minutes later, Yun Mian saw a fellow from the old times.
After Prince Mia got off the aircraft, he saw Yun Mian standing next to Yun Jinchu at a glance.
The little prince's light blue eyes curved slightly, and he took the lead in releasing friendly emotions towards Yun Mian.
It waved away the attendants, ignoring the various contemptuous or inquiring looks that fell on it, and trotted to Yunmian, and asked the black-haired doll in a soft voice with bright eyes: "Can you speak?"
It loves its newborn so frankly, without any concealment or disguise.
Even the questioning had a cautious intimacy.
Yunmian also had no ill will towards it.
The puppets of that era in my memory always seemed to be particularly miserable.
After being asked, the black-haired little doll nodded obediently to the little prince Mia, and his delicate eyes unconsciously curved slightly, which easily reminded people of the crescent moon hanging high in the night.
"My name is Miya, what's your name?" Miya was a little taller than Yunmian, so after asking, it couldn't help but raise its hand to touch the forehead of the little doll. When it was sure that it was real, there were even dimples on its cheeks.
Yunmian is a little confused.
It remembered that the doll artist told it to be called Yunmian in the future.
But it doesn't want to use the name given by the humanoid maker, and naturally doesn't like any humanoid maker's soul that makes it rebellious.
But after a brief hesitation, the little puppet still read out his name seriously.
"My name is Yunmian."
The doll maker said it was the cotton from marshmallows.
"It sounds nice!" Mia praised without any pause: "As free as the clouds in the sky, it's a very good name."
Yunmian: “…”
For some reason, it felt that the compliment from this fellow didn't hit the point.
But it did not say it. Instead, it reached out and grabbed Mia's sleeve, ignoring the dollmakers with fiery eyes, and led Mia step by step to the president's office, which it thought was the quietest and most comfortable.
It had only been there, and it only knew that it would not be stared at with all kinds of disgusting looks by those humanoid makers there.
"Mianmian, walk slower, don't fall." The doll master Yun Jinchu reminded from behind.
Yun Mian thought of the number of times she stumbled and fell yesterday, and she paused, then slowed down in silence.
Mia looked at this scene, and a hint of displeasure appeared in her clear eyes, which had originally been free of any cloud.
But his displeasure was not towards Yunmian, but towards those doll makers who always liked to give orders to the dolls.
When they arrived at the president's office, Mia put on a soft and lovely smile and effortlessly asked President Nogai for the exclusive use of the office.
No one likes to have surveillance cameras in their office, at least Nogai doesn't like it.
After Mia confirmed that there were no surveillance devices inside, she raised her hand and touched the doll's head, praising it in a gentle voice: "Yunmian is great, she found the most suitable place right away."
Yunmian did not resist the approach of his kind. He just looked at the closed office door, then looked at Miya in front of him, and asked it: "Are there any puppets still alive?"
This is the question it has wanted to ask most since it received those memories.
And now, the only person who knew the truth was standing in front of him. Yun Mian was a straightforward person who would not lie or be euphemistic, so he asked directly as soon as he opened his mouth.
The little doll's clean and clear eyes looked straight at Mia, not giving it any chance to dodge.
Miya didn't expect that Yunmian's first formal conversation with her would be this.
It was stunned for a moment, then lowered its head, clenched its fingers tightly, and said in a soft voice that was hoarse and unpleasant to the ear: "I am the only one left."
“…I am the only one alive.” It looked up at Yunmian, as if it wanted to cry, but puppets have no tears, so it forced a stiff smile: “That was a massacre of us by humans. No puppet could escape because our makers were all humans.”
Yunmian tilted her head and stared at it quietly for a while, then she imitated its previous action and raised her hand to touch its forehead.
"Don't cry."
The black-haired doll whispered, "If you cry too much, your heart will be damaged."
Miya seemed to have finally found a straw to hold on to. Even though the other party was also extremely fragile, it could no longer be strong.
The smile on the little doll's face disappeared, and it collapsed on the ground, hugging its stiff and worn-out body, breathing lightly and rapidly, imitating the way humans breathe when they are heartbroken, even though it didn't need to breathe at all.
Yun Mian could feel the pain and resentment that the other person conveyed to her from the depths of his soul, as well as a little bit of confusion and grievance after being hurt for no reason.
The two little dolls sat in the corner hugging each other. Even though their bodies were equally cold, neither of them let go of the other first.
Two in one, good night~
