Chapter 144 I Heard the Sound of Heartbeat
The topic of the puppet family has hardly been mentioned for a long time, and it is a mysterious secret.
Ji Huaiyu usually wouldn't mention it on his own initiative, but he finally said something after Jian Yue asked. Jian Yue knew that he must have a lot of things he hadn't told him, but it didn't matter, he could find out slowly.
The most urgent thing is that he must first figure out what the miracle doctor is doing behind the scenes! !
After breakfast in the morning.
Jian Yue went out almost non-stop. His main purpose this time was to meet Li Lele. Aya and the others had also finished their investigation in the room where the accident happened last night. After they arrived at Aya's shop, they sat in the inner room and chatted.
Aya's identity this time is a person who comes to the town to do business. Although this identity prevents her from getting close to the people at the core of the plot, after having her own identity, she will not be monitored by other players and can also have her own private space.
Everyone sat down at the table.
When Jian Yue sat down, he said to Li Lele, "You don't look well. I got you a ginseng from the Ji family's warehouse. You can take some tonic."
Li Lele's lips turned pale. When he went to get something today, he used the card again for fear that the lady's child would be unstable. The side effect of his card was that he would suffer 20% backlash in damage. Fortunately, he was only helping to stabilize the fetus this time, and he was just lacking in energy and blood. He had taken the tonic from the system mall and was actually much better.
But he didn't expect that Butler Wang still cared about him!
Li Lele said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Steward Wang!"
Jian Yue patted his arm and said, "You've worked hard. Did you get the things?"
Li Lele immediately took out the box from his pocket and said, "This is it."
Everyone gathered around.
This was a black box with classical patterns carved all around it. Everyone gathered around and Li Lele whispered, "This is what the Madam gave me. There's a ring inside."
This is indeed a jade ring.
And the carving texture is very delicate.
Jian Yue said: "This inscription is very unusual. It should be a unique writing of a certain race."
Aya picked it up and said, "I have been through a dungeon. That dungeon was in a mountain with its own culture. The people in the mountain have their own writing. They use their unique writing to convey important information, which outsiders cannot understand."
"It would be nice if there was a translation, right?" Nangong Xi said beside him, "If we can get a translation, we can translate the words on this ring."
Jian Yue said: "I suspect this is the writing of the puppet control clan."
Wang Wenwen noticed it immediately and asked, "Butler Wang, have you seen it?"
"I seem to have an impression." Jian Yue put down the ring and said, "I went to the study yesterday. There were too many books on the shelves at that time. I could only glance at some of the books. So I may have seen such words on the shelves. I can look for them this afternoon."
Aya said with some admiration: "You are really amazing. The Ji family's backyard is inaccessible to ordinary people. I heard that they said..."
Jian Yue said for her: "There are puppets, right?"
Aya nodded.
"In fact, the puppets in the back house didn't hurt anyone, but the puppets in the front house, the ones brought by the director, hurt people." Jian Yue asked directly: "Did you find anything when you checked the room yesterday?"
Mention this.
Aya said immediately, "We went to the room yesterday and the production team said that he fell down by himself, but we checked and found that he didn't fall down by himself because we found traces of crawling near the window. The kind of traces you would find if a puppet was crawling would be a person. There was also blood on the ground, which spread all the way to the window. Although it was relatively small and almost invisible, we didn't notice it at first because the room was dark and the floor was black. It was Nangong Xi who found it."
Nangong Xi smiled and said, "I used cards to turn them into dogs and sniffed around the room. Because a lot of people went in during the day, the smell inside was actually very mixed, but I still smelled blood. The smell spread from the table to the window, and then I jumped out of the window and kept walking forward following the smell. Guess what happened?"
The others looked at her curiously.
"The result!" Nangong Xi said: "The smell of blood crawled outside the Ji family's house. We followed it for a long distance and found that it was a restaurant. The smell stopped at the restaurant, but that restaurant was where the distinguished guests who came to the town this time lived."
Aya smiled and said, "Yesterday was the first day I experienced what it was like to be a dog."
Wang Wenwen sighed and said, "Don't mention it. I never thought in my life that one day I would get to experience what it's like to be a cockroach!"
Aya said to Jian Yue: "It's a pity that you don't have the chance to experience it."
Jian Yue smiled wryly: "I don't really want to experience it."
The audience in the live broadcast room were very happy:
"Hahaha is it possible that he has already experienced it."
"How can it be so funny?"
"With Nangong Xi, you can be any species!"
Everyone was discussing enthusiastically.
Jian Yue reacted immediately and asked Li Lele, "Does the miracle doctor live in that restaurant?"
Li Lele didn't think about this at first, but after thinking about it, he said, "It seems so? Madam said he also lives in that restaurant, but he lives on the top floor. Others should not disturb him if they have nothing to do."
Jian Yue seemed to be thinking about something.
Wang Wenwen said directly: "It must be the work of the miracle doctor. Did he use his own puppets to kill people in the Ji family's mansion?"
Jian Yue used to be a forensic doctor. He was taught that reasoning should be based on evidence rather than guesswork. He asked Aya, "Is there surveillance in the restaurant over there at night?"
Aya immediately said, "Yes, but we found out before that the surveillance camera can't capture the puppet man."
Jian Yue: “…”
This world is really interesting.
Automatic blocking?!
Jian Yue said, "In fact, it's easy to find out who the puppet is. The murderer's favorite thing to do is to return to the scene. You spread the news that something was found in that room, and naturally someone will go to check if it was dropped in the room that day."
Wang Wenwen sighed: "Butler Wang, you are really cunning and treacherous."
Jian Yue said: "You're too kind. I'm just resourceful."
Wang Wenwen: “…”
Wait! Is he praising him?!
The two people were talking.
Aya said, "That's indeed a good idea. I can help. My cards can come in handy."
To be honest, no one knows what Aya’s card is yet.
Aya smiled mysteriously and said, "My card is called Guess Who. It's a card that can split into two, so it's perfect for surveillance."
This voice.
These newcomers didn't think there was anything special about it. They just thought that the card was quite powerful. It was really an awesome card that could be used in many ways.
However, the audience in the live broadcast room were excited:
"Fuck!"
"It's Guess who I am!"
"Isn't this a gold card?!"
"It's the gold card ranked 32nd on the list!"
"I was wondering why the name Aya looked so familiar."
"Wait, you mean to say that there are three gold cards in this ordinary copy?!"
This is simply a magnificent spectacle.
You should know that in a dungeon, having two gold cards at the same time is already a big deal. This is a display that only big guilds can have. Generally, big guilds will give this configuration when they are going to play special dungeons.
This copy of the puppet man is just the second copy for a novice, but he actually has three gold cards collected!
One audience member concluded:
"Because Butler Wang and Aya both went in later."
“This isn’t necessarily a good thing.”
"Yes, the difficulty of the dungeon will change according to the level and configuration of the cards."
"I was wondering why the puppet dungeon seemed to be getting more difficult. Maybe it has been upgraded to a higher level now!"
However, the few people sitting in the house have not yet realized how dangerous their current situation is. The difficulty of their copies has been changed without their knowledge.
Jian Yue was still studying the words on the ring.
"This should be a women's ring." Jian Yue said, "And the person who owns it should be of high status."
Aya said, "Didn't they say that there is more than one wealthy businessman coming to see the miracle doctor this time? If we can find a way to get another collection, we can compare and see if there are words on every item."
Li Lele took the initiative to say: "Why not me..."
Jian Yue looked at him. In fact, it would be best to let Li Lele go. He had a healing card and could gain the trust of others. Naturally, he was the most suitable person to do this.
but.
Under the gaze of everyone, Jian Yue slowly said, "Don't go. Take care of your body these two days. If you use the cards too frequently, it will not only attract the attention of the doctor, but your body will not be able to bear it."
Li Lele and Aya were both slightly surprised.
In fact, in the copy, personal interests are often the top priority. Everyone wants to retain their strength and wants others to pay first. As long as they can survive, it's fine. The nightmare world is so cruel, and this is also its survival rule.
But Jian Yue is different.
He has no intention of taking advantage of others and he can always make the right judgment rationally.
"Since they brought so many things, it's impossible for the doctor to check them all one by one." Jian Yue said, "Most of them are probably kept in a safe or by their side. Let Wenwen do it. He has the ability to become invisible. He can just take a photo and come back. As for the key, ask Nangong Xi to help you find it."
Since Nangong Xi has the ability to transform into a small animal, it should be easy for him to find something.
Although neither of these two people's cards are dangerous and lethal, they are very useful when combined together and used correctly.
Nangong Xi immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"
In this way, the tasks of several people are clear.
Jian Yue's task is to find out the text on the ring. In fact, he would have to check it even if the ring did not exist, because the director and the chef had talked in the cruise ship's kitchen before, saying that they were waiting for a big day to come, and this big day must be related to the puppet, so he must find the record in the study.
Just thinking about it.
Sure enough, the system panel popped up:
"Trigger the limited-time mission: The End
Mission details: The end of the puppets is coming soon, please find out the details of that day.
Mission Reward: Translation"
Translation!!!
It was really a case of searching for an iron shoe but still not finding it. He was originally worried about where to find this book, but now his problem is solved!
Jian Yue stood up and said to the others, "I'm going back to the Ji family to check the information."
"Hey!" Nangong Xi called out, "It's almost noon, Sister Aya has prepared a meal for us, butler Wang, won't you stay and eat with us?"
Jian Yue smiled and said, "I have food, you guys can eat it yourself!"
Nangong Xi blinked. As someone who had experienced Hope Island, she understood it immediately. It seemed that good things were about to happen to Butler Wang!
Li Lele, who didn't know the truth, was still worried: "Can Butler Wang eat well and cleanly outside? Although I know he is in a hurry for the mission, he is working too hard!"
Nangong Xi said meaningfully: "Don't worry about whether Butler Wang can eat well, someone will worry about it."
Li Lele:?
The audience in the live broadcast room was also happy:
“Nangong Xi, you understand.”
"The little girl is very intelligent."
"It's a pity that Butler Wang's emotional progress has stagnated."
"Hahahaha, he was wrapped in a quilt and tucked into the bed yesterday!"
Everyone was discussing enthusiastically.
Jian Yue went back to have lunch with Ji Huaiyu at noon. After Ji Huaiyu returned to the town, he would not only handle the company's business, but also some things at the house.
"Young Master, just leave this kind of repair work to me next time." Jian Yue looked at the pile of documents on the table and said, "I am the housekeeper after all. I will handle this kind of small matter."
Ji Huaiyu asked, "Are you not filming on the set anymore?"
Jian Yue said, "The crew has been very busy these past two days. Yesterday, during the banquet, someone accidentally fell and died. The crew can't start work for the time being."
After hearing this, Ji Huaiyu said, "It's better if you don't go to the crew. If the director can't even handle such basic things, how can he guarantee the safety of other actors?"
Jian Yue didn't really want to go, but he still had to check on the director and the others, so he said, "It's okay. Isn't Ji Huaisheng here anyway? With him here, I won't be in any great danger."
When Ji Huaiyu heard this, he remembered what he had heard in the morning.
In the past, he could turn a blind eye and let Ji Huaisheng chase after the others, but he did not do anything to let Jian Yue down. But now, he has crossed the red line, and it is impossible for him to push Jian Yue into the fire pit again.
So Ji Huaiyu said, "He did something wrong, so I punished him to go to the ancestral hall. He won't come out for a few days."
Jian Yue actually knew what it was, but he could only pretend not to know: "What is it?"
Ji Huaiyu raised his eyes and looked deeply at Jian Yue. The man was tall and majestic, and he was full of momentum when he was not smiling. His words were naturally low and powerful. He said, "Sex after drinking."
Jian Yue knew it, but she didn't expect Ji Huaiyu to tell her so clearly.
"Ah?" Jian Yue pretended to be shocked: "How could he do such a thing?"
hateful!
Neither Xiaoyu nor I have succeeded, but Ji Huaisheng succeeded first!
Jian Yue is now a little bit genuinely angry!!!
Ji Huaiyu looked up at him, thinking that Jian Yue was angry about his nephew. He suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. It was the first time in his life that he experienced such complicated emotions. He wanted him to be angry, but he also didn't want him to be angry.
He wasn't himself anymore.
But this was an emotion he couldn't control.
Jian Yue was thinking about something else. It was not time for him to officially break up with the male lead yet. He had to wait two days until he caught them having an affair and then follow the plot and have a quarrel with the male lead!
No, we can’t make trouble today.
So Jian Yue said, "Then let me think about it carefully. Maybe he is just confused for a moment?"
Ji Huaiyu frowned, and he looked up at Jian Yue, his eyes seemed to be looking at some wonder. Finally, he said slowly: "No need, if you break up with him, I will naturally find you a better one."
Jian Yue immediately said: "I don't want anything better."
Where could there be anyone better than Xiaoyu?
Ji Huaiyu was also stunned. Jian Yue actually insisted on having his nephew. What was so good about Ji Huaisheng?
The two people strangely reached diametrically opposed ideas.
After finishing their lunch with their own ulterior motives, Jian Yue immediately rushed to the small courtyard of the study. The guard who was guarding the courtyard was still moving so slowly.
Jian Yue greeted him lightly and said, "Uncle, I'm coming in! You look very healthy today!"
As soon as he entered, he went straight to the bookshelf.
Jian Yue remembered that he seemed to have seen the words on the jade pendant somewhere before, so of course he had to find a book with this wording. He searched back and forth on the bookshelf, and although he clearly had some impression of it, he just couldn't find it.
I put my phone next to the window.
Jian Yue was checking carefully when he suddenly heard the old man's slow voice. He said, "How come this ring is in your hands?"
?
Jian Yue, who was flipping through a book, looked up almost instantly. He asked excitedly, "Uncle, do you recognize this ring?"
The lifespan of a puppet is very long, so long that it is hard for humans to imagine. The old man said slowly: "This is the ring of Mingzhuer. She is a friend of my master."
Jian Yue was stunned.
He didn't expect that the old man would so readily admit his identity as a puppet.
But if you think about it carefully, none of the puppets in the backyard have ever thought of hiding anything. Ji Huaiyu really protects them all very well. No one can disturb them, and no one can hurt them. They can always live in their own world and miss what they want.
Jian Yue asked: "Who is she and what is her identity?"
A nostalgic look appeared on the old man's face. He looked at Gao Shan not far away and said, "She was a disciple of the tribe. She loved making clothes for the puppets. Everyone liked her very much."
It turned out to be the same person from the past.
This is a ring belonging to one of the disciples.
"What happened back then?" Jian Yue asked immediately, "What happened to these disciples? Why did their things end up outside?"
Unfortunately, no matter how much he asked, the old man seemed not to understand Jian Yue's words. His old body was hunched over, and he just kept repeating: "She is missing... The master is also missing..."
When asked again, he still repeated these words.
Jian Yue sighed a little.
But I had no choice but to give up asking.
But the old man's words gave him inspiration. He should not continue to look up these books. Maybe he should change from things to people. He should find a way to look up his disciples from those days!
But where can I check?
Jian Yue thought about it, and just when he was about to go find the old man to ask where the registration book was, the book next to him caught his attention. The book was a magazine record of major events that had happened in the town over the years.
Write it on the record.
A hundred years ago, a huge earthquake broke out in the mountains of the town. The ground shook and almost all the houses collapsed. Fires broke out on the mountains, causing countless casualties.
It was recorded below this major earthquake that earthquakes occur once every hundred years. Earthquake experts said that the next earthquake would be in 1989. Jian Yue looked at the time and quickly picked up his mobile phone that had been placed by the window to take a look.
Isn't this the year?!
It can’t be such a coincidence!
Jian Yue's eyes widened. He was about to continue reading when he suddenly felt a slight vibration. The shaking came from the ground. Everyone standing there was stunned. The moment he realized what was happening, Jian Yue threw the book in his hand. He remembered Ji Huaiyu who was still in the study. The most precious thing to him was those documents and the things left by the ancestors of the Ji family. He might not run away immediately! So Jian Yue rushed out without hesitation.
The earthquake was coming, and many people were running outside, except Jian Yue who was running inside.
The moment the house shook.
Jian Yue rushed to the main house and shouted, "Xiao Yu!"
Ji Huaiyu was sorting some things. He was not in a hurry at all, but he saw a breathless man running in. The surrounding beams were still shedding dust. He ran in a panic, but he looked at him and said, "It's an earthquake! It's dangerous! Go!"
"Why are you here?" Ji Huaiyu put down the things in his hand and frowned instantly: "Do you know that this is very dangerous?"
Jian Yue said: "I know, but you are still in there."
Ji Huaiyu's heart was in his throat. Something was swinging down from the surroundings and was about to hit someone. He dodged it and said with rare anger: "I won't get hurt. Do you know that I am..."
He choked up mid-sentence.
There are some things he can't say because they will scare Jian Yue.
However, the person in front of him was even more unexpected. Jian Yue nodded and said, "I know, of course I know, but if you get hit, you will also be bumped and uncomfortable. I don't want you to get hurt!"

The sounds around were noisy and roaring.
Ji Huaiyu listened to him quietly. He had never understood what emotion and love were before, because puppets didn't have these things. They didn't have flesh and blood. Even if they had flesh and blood, even if they had a heart, they still didn't understand what human love was.
Until one day.
Under the noisy and chaotic eaves, the moment our fingers were intertwined, the sound of heartbeats could be heard.
