Chapter 129
When Yun Jinchu opened the office door, what he saw was such a weird yet quiet and warm scene.
She paused as she pushed the door open, then reached out to close the door, blocking out any other possible sights, and walked up to the two little dolls.
Almost as soon as she approached, the two little dolls let go of each other and looked up at her.
Yun Jinchu ignored the innocent look of the little prince Mia, reached out and gently picked up the little doll Yunmian who was sitting on the ground, patted the dust that might be on its skirt, and said to it: "I will go to handle the registration first, and I will pick you up later. Don't go out during this period. If there are other doll masters coming in, you must send me a message immediately. Remember?"
The little doll tilted its head and looked at her, as if to confirm what kind of thoughts or purpose she had when she said this, and then nodded slowly, quietly watched her get up and leave.
The puppeteer came in suddenly and left just as suddenly.
It was as if she came in just to pick Yunmian up from the cold floor and stop her from sitting there any longer.
When Yun Jinchu's footsteps gradually disappeared outside the door, Mia also stood up.
"Yunmian, what are your abilities?" it asked.
Under its gaze, the little black-haired doll gently moved its fingertips.
Soon, Mia felt something long and thin strangling her neck. The sense of crisis that her life was out of control made her want to struggle subconsciously, but as soon as she moved, the invisible thin thread around her neck became tighter and tighter.
Until a thin and shallow blood mark was left on its neck, and bright red blood beads seeped out little by little, looking particularly eye-catching on the snow-white skin.
Miya raised her head and did not do anything to Yunmian, which showed her utmost trust in it.
Yunmian retracted the silk thread and raised her other hand to touch Miya’s neck which had just been injured.
The next second, the bloodstain appeared on Yunmian's own neck, which was equally bright and conspicuous, making it impossible to ignore it.
But Mia's neck was as smooth as new, without any wounds at all.
At the beginning, when Yunmian only showed an attacking posture, Miya did not react much, but when Yunmian transferred the wound on its body directly to itself, it looked at Yunmian with wide eyes, and the astonishment in its eyes could not be hidden.
“How could this happen?!” The little doll took a step forward in surprise, and also raised his hand to touch the wound on Yunmian’s throat that was still oozing blood, his pupils constricted.
Yunmian tilted her head and looked at the scarlet blood on its fingertips. She did not answer its question, but asked softly, "Is this blood?"
Mia paused.
In Yunmian's quiet but dangerous gaze, it nodded silently and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, this is blood."
Only a dollmaker who wants to sell the doll at a high price or likes to torture the doll will inject useless blood into the doll's body.
As soon as it finished speaking, the corners of the little puppet Yunmian's lips twitched strangely, but it did not laugh.
Only those dark black eyeballs appeared darker and deeper when it used the silk thread to cut its fingers again and saw the blood gushing out.
It ignored the wounds on its fingers and neck, looked up at Mia, who was also wondering what was going on, and said, "What's your ability? What is it?"
Mia looked at it, and after a moment said, "My ability is to create puppet hearts and... control them."
The office fell into an eerie silence.
The two puppets that were leaning on each other just now looked at each other and did not speak for a while.
It was Mia who spoke first to break the silence.
It gently hugged its own kind and whispered, "We will never grow up, but we can't be humans' toys forever. Yunmian, you have to help me."
It did not use the mask of innocence, gentleness, cuteness and softness that it had used to fool humans in the past to persuade them, but the little puppet's sad, heavy and resolute emotions were full of irresistible temptation to Yun Mian, who was also a puppet and possessed the soul memories of countless puppets.
Yunmian couldn't refuse. Its complex soul made it no longer as ignorant and naive as a newborn doll, but it was not as mature and cunning as Mia.
It just felt that Mia, the other puppets, including itself, and all the puppets that had blood or had long been dead were all pitiful.
Like homeless children, they were obviously created with great care by their parents, but it was these parents who sold them and plunged them into the abyss of despair.
Therefore, compared to the humans who buy the dolls, the doll makers are more deserving of death.
"I'll help you." The black-haired little puppet's clear eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was childish and soft: "Doll Master, you all deserve to die."
Miya let go of Yunmian, and looked at Yunmian's heart with her light blue eyes. After struggling for a moment, she confessed to herself, the first and only one of her kind in the world: "Your heart... I have integrated many things into it. If you want to replace it..."
It was making its first concession to Yunmian.
But Yunmian rejected it.
The last bit of clarity in the little doll's dark eyes disappeared when he saw the blood flowing through his body.
It then imitated Mia's movements and gently curved its eyes, saying, "No need. If you replace my heart, I will disappear."
Mia didn't expect to hear it say this. She was stunned when she heard it, and after a moment she felt a little annoyed at her impulsiveness.
The two little puppets reached a consensus on this matter.
The system eavesdropping outside looked at the progress bar of the main task at 0%, and didn't even dare to cry too loudly.
If the progress bar of the main quest can show negative numbers, then the decision of these two little puppets must have pushed the progress of the quest to a very high negative number! !
They have no intention of making puppets at all, they decide to kill all the puppet makers in the world!
system:"……"
Why did it choose this world in the first place? !
If possible, it even wanted to travel back in time and return to the time when it chose the mission world, and beat up the self who chose the puppet world!
Now, I can’t leave and I’ve lost my host.
When the system was frustrated and upset, the little prince Mia had already left.
Yunmian, a doll, sat on the leather sofa in the association president's office and gently touched the material of the sofa with her fingers.
Very familiar, both in temperature and touch.
They are exactly the same as the skin on your own body.
I just wonder how many top-quality materials the figure maker needs to use to make such a large sofa, or whether they can be directly peeled off bit by bit from the dolls.
After all, if Yun Mian only used the material for making dolls to make the sofa leather, she would not be able to smell the smell on it that was similar to her own blood.
This is also the reason why it and Mia chose to sit in the corner instead of sitting on the sofa after coming in just now.
But now it sits on the sofa, and its fingertips gently press the leather, and the sofa slowly sinks into a small pit with its movement. When it removes its fingers, the small pit returns to its original shape little by little.
The little doll seemed addicted to this self-entertaining game. After poking a lot of small holes on the sofa, it watched them recover little by little, repeating the cycle over and over again until the office door was pushed open again.
It tilted its head and saw a familiar humanoid figure walking towards it from outside.
Yun Jinchu took Yunmian's hand, and after it stood up from the sofa, he took it to do the final registration.
The journey went smoothly and the little puppets cooperated well, showing no signs of causing trouble like they did last night.
Yun Jinchu was surprised at the little guy's cooperative attitude, but when she looked at the little doll sitting obediently in front of the machine and letting the system enter various information, she gently twisted her fingertips and suppressed the doubts that popped up out of nowhere.
When the association's president Nogai personally handed the certified relationship certificate to Yun Jinchu, the little doll stood beside her, looking up and staring at Nogai quietly.
Nogai caught the sight of the little doll from the corner of his eye, lowered his head and said to it cheerfully: "Little guy, you have been looking at me, is there anything you want to say to me?"
The little doll's silky black hair fell to its waist, and as it raised its head, the hair drooped a little bit.
In a place invisible to the naked eye, one of the strands slowly appeared in Nogai's throat. For some reason, after lingering for a moment, it did not cut the opponent's neck. Instead, it drilled into his skin little by little, and then wrapped around Nogai's heart, whose beating was no longer as strong, and silently hovered in the flesh and blood, like a poisonous snake hidden in the darkness. No one could find it, but it could take a person's life in an instant.
Nogai, who was targeted by the poisonous snake, just felt a sudden stinging pain on the skin on his neck, and there was no other special reaction.
Under the gazes of the two doll masters, Nogai and Yunjinchu, the little doll that had done all this silently nodded obediently. When Nogai made a listening gesture, he asked crisply, "Can I come here again?"
Nogai didn't expect it to ask this. After a brief pause, he laughed heartily and said, "Of course! Your master...your mother is the vice president of our association. As long as she is willing to bring you here, you can come every day."
After getting the answer, Yun Mian lowered her head and stopped talking.
Norgai didn't care about the rudeness of a puppet.
After saying goodbye to the president, Yun Jinchu took Yun Mian on the aircraft.
She had said before that after the relationship was established, she would take Yunmian for a walk around the neighborhood.
Yunmian was holding the hand of the doll artist and walking slowly on a busy street.
This is the most prosperous street in the main city. Huge light screens embedded in the buildings can be seen everywhere, mostly displaying some commercial products. The aircraft flying overhead also have their own flight tracks. There is order in the chaos and it does not cause any traffic jams.
There are also vehicles on the ground, but they are few and there are more pedestrians wandering around.
But these were not what Yunmian saw first.
It saw its own face all over the screen.
It sees the exquisite dolls with prices marked in the merchandise window.
It saw humans walking back and forth on the street, pretending to be dolls and imitating stiff joints for photo taking.
This is a world where puppets are always popular. Even if the real puppets are no longer around, people are still obsessed with them, even if those puppets sold at high prices are lifeless and just a body made of piled materials.
This pursuit and obsession with dolls once again swept the world at a crazy speed when the royal family found the Mia doll that was exactly the same as the little prince, and when Mia intentionally or unintentionally revealed to the doll makers that the crystal source could truly awaken the doll.
Voices of people discussing dolls filled her ears, but Yun Mian stood at a street corner, looking up at the familiar scene on the light screen of herself and Mia walking into the Doll Maker Association together.
Not only was it watching, many humans on the roadside were watching as well.
Their eyes were full of obsession and amazement. Yun Mian even heard them whispering that it turned out that dolls would be so fragile and beautiful when they had life.
Dolls are not people, but commodities with life.
Just like cats and dogs in pet shops, they are praised and bought by people.
Everyone was paying attention to the only two living puppets that were playing on the screen in a continuous loop, and no one paid attention to a child with the same face as the one on the screen.
Yunmian stared at the light screen for a long time.
Yun Jinchu also saw it.
She frowned and immediately took out her communicator to call Nogai, asking what these screen projections meant.
Nogai's old laughter came through the communicator: "Of course, it's to promote our Dollsmith Association. This is the meeting between the only remaining doll from the old era and the first doll born in the new era. If this picture is passed on, the status of our Dollsmith Association in the world will rise. After that, every living doll we make will bring us huge benefits!"
The first thing Yun Jinchu did was to bend down and cover the ears of the little doll.
But the communicator was on her wrist, and covering the doll's ears with her hands was of no use. Instead, Yunmian could hear every word of Nogai's voice clearly.
Yun Jinchu hung up the communicator, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
She bent down and wanted to pick up the doll and take it back in the aircraft.
But the little puppet that was staring at the screen in a daze just now has come back to its senses. It looks at the puppets all over the street, points randomly, and says softly but firmly: "I want to go there."
Yun Jinchu looked in the direction of its finger and saw a shop selling dolls. There was also a projection screen of the two dolls, Yunmian and Mia, outside the door.
"...Do we have to go?" Yun Jinchu's tone was a little heavy.
Yunmian tilted her head to look at her, and seemed to notice her displeasure. She suddenly smiled and called her softly, "Mom, I want to go."
Yun Jinchu was stunned when she heard the voice of "Mom".
Yun Mian looked at her without avoiding, and his clean black pupils clearly reflected her dazed look.
Ten seconds later, she bought a fisherman's hat and put it on Yunmian's head. The brim of the hat easily covered the delicate facial features of the little doll. Then she held it and walked straight to the doll shop.
"Hello, what kind of doll would you like to buy?"
As soon as I entered the store, a waiter came over, but this waiter was not dressed in traditional business attire. Instead, he wore obvious puppet makeup, and even his voice and movements were very formal.
It is obvious that they are all specially trained "puppet waiters".
Yunmian observed this "fake fellow" through the lowered black brim of his hat.
The makeup is very delicate, and the facial features must have been sculpted, so the delicate facial features look like dolls.
After all, puppets and humans are different. Humans have full skin, flesh and bones, and each has its own characteristics, but when puppeteers make puppets, they will deliberately make the puppets' facial features more delicate than real people.
It seems to be no different from a human, but it is so beautiful and delicate that it is different from a real person.
The waiter's hands and feet were even carved with thin black lines representing the joints. As he moved stiffly, these "joints" would move as if there were bearings supporting them, making him look even more like a stiff puppet.
Yun Mian took a quick look and then looked away, turning to look at the dolls displayed in the store.
They are all puppets without hearts or lives.
Their inanimate textures were arranged in various postures in the beautifully decorated display window, not much different from what Yunmian saw at Yun Jinchu's house.
It’s just that one is for collection and the other is for sale.
The little doll blinked and looked quietly at the dolls with delicate smiles on their faces.
Yun Jinchu told the waiter to take a look around casually, and the waiter then pushed the door open to serve the next customer, showing great sense of propriety.
After the people left, Yun Jinchu touched the hat on the doll's head and said softly, "These dolls are made by humanoid artists for sale. The price of each one is not low."
After saying this, she and Yunmian's eyes fell on a merchandise display window at the same time.
It’s nothing, it’s just that the doll in the window looks... a little too familiar.
The moment he saw the doll, Yun Jinchu suddenly realized how angry the doll was yesterday, to the point that breaking the glass and crushing the doll was not enough, and he even had to get up in the middle of the night to throw the doll into the garbage disposal.
There were two dolls inside.
One of them looked exactly like Mia, and although the other one had different facial features from Yunmian, her clothes and accessories, including the shoes on her feet and the black hair that reached her waist... were almost exactly the same!
Perhaps because Yun Jinchu had been looking at the doll for a long time, the waiter who had been observing the customer's expression came over with a doll-like smile and introduced it to her: "The customer is looking at a set of dolls. I'm sure you've seen the two dolls on the screen outside. This is made based on their appearance."
After she finished speaking, she explained, “Although we have a resident doll artist, this new baby doll only appeared this morning, so we can only replace it with the same wig and clothes urgently. This pair is just a pre-sale item we put out.
In a few days, the doll maker will imitate and make the same dolls. If you are still interested in these two dolls, you are welcome to come to our store to buy them. After all, making such similar and exquisite dolls is also a great challenge for the doll maker, so each store can only produce one pair of dolls. If you miss it, you will have to wait for a while. "
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yun Jinchu with a smile, then revealed a surprised look that was not in keeping with a puppet's posture.
"You are..." She hesitated and asked tentatively, "President Yun? The President Yun who created the latest life doll?"
Yun Jinchu appeared in the camera with her doll. Everyone knows that this doll maker restored the lifelike dolls that were only available in the golden age.
But no one expected her to appear here, and...
etc! !
The waiter suddenly thought of something, and his eyes suddenly fell on the child that Yun Jinchu had been holding. His voice trembled: "Is this, is it, is it... a life doll?!"
Her voice was not small. When the word "life doll" came out, everyone in the store looked over subconsciously.
All eyes were focused on Yun Jinchu and Yun Mian.
Their hot breathing and excited expressions all showed that these people had guessed the truth.
Yun Jinchu frowned, and while they were still guessing and didn't dare to step forward, he took the lead and walked out with Yun Mian in his arms.
Her aircraft happened to be parked not far away.
By the time the people in the store reacted and ran out screaming, Yun Jinchu got on the aircraft and quickly left the street with Yun Mian.
All the way home, the little doll was extremely quiet.
It seemed to like looking out the window, watching the top floors of buildings passing quickly below, watching the pedestrians as tiny as ants, and watching the flying vehicles whizzing by that were also driven by humans.
Never get tired of watching it.
After Yun Jinchu discovered this, he deliberately slowed down the speed of the aircraft, but no matter how slow the speed was, it would still reach its destination.
After getting off the aircraft, Yun Mian walked inside holding Yun Jinchu's hand.
When passing by the garbage disposal, Yun Mian paused, and after Yun Jinchu lowered her head to look at her, she raised her feet and followed her pace.
That doll is better looking than the ugly and expensive dolls sold in the store.
It should be able to sell for a lot of money.
The little puppet Yunmian actually doesn’t know what the money is for, but it intuitively feels that it likes the feeling of having money.
Having money gives it a little peace of mind.
So after arriving in the living room, the little doll just sat on the sofa, staring at the dolls in the window.
When the little doll is in a daze, its eyes are empty. At first glance, it looks even more lifeless and empty than the dolls in the window. If you see it in the middle of the night, it would probably scare people to death.
But in reality, a new round of arguments started in the little doll's head.
Kill the doll maker, steal the dolls, and sell them for money.
You can't kill mom, but you can sell the dolls for money!
Kill the doll maker and make her look like the doll waitresses in the store and put them in your home.
You can’t kill the mother, but you can turn her into a puppet waitress, which must be very beautiful!
Kill the dollmaker, dig out his heart, and put the doll's heart back in to see if she can still survive.
You can't kill mom! But...but you can ask mom if she's willing to be a puppet with me. Being a puppet can make you live a long time. I want to live a long life with mom!
Kill the Doll Master!
You can't kill mom!
If we don't kill her, she will continue to make more dolls and sell them. She is more capable than the president and must be killed, otherwise the dolls will never be freed!
Don't kill my mother, or I will fight you! Don't think I can't beat you because I'm young. I can let my mother dig out our hearts! Protect my mother, and I don't have to live a hundred years.
But she injected puppet blood into your body! She is not your mother at all, she is just a damn puppet maker!
Bah! I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it. Anyway, no one is allowed to hurt my mother!
...Are you mentally ill?! She doesn't consider you as a family member at all. She must be using you. Otherwise, why are there pictures of you everywhere as soon as you show up? She will definitely auction you off at a high price in the future. She just wants to use you to make money and gain fame!
What's the point of you talking so much? I don't understand! Even if mom wants to sell me for money, it doesn't matter. I can earn a lot of money for mom, and then sneak back. When mom spends all the money, she will sell me and then sneak back!
...You are quite proud?!
The black heart in the little doll's chest, perhaps because it was angry or something, actually retreated a little, leaving a small piece of pure transparent color inside.
Yunmianmian Doll: (Hands on hips) I help my mother earn money, I am proud!
