Chapter 40 The situation is different from what was expected
Irene cried so sadly.
Yu Sheng did not try to persuade it either, mainly because firstly he really did not know how to do it, and secondly... he was afraid that the puppet would be too sad and lose consciousness, and if he tried to persuade it, it would be stimulated and jump up and bite people.
She literally has to jump to bite now.
Of course the good news is that she can bite people now, whereas before in the painting she could only beep.
After a long while, Irene's sadness finally subsided a little. Yu Sheng quickly took two steps towards the table and said hesitantly: "Well... don't be sad. Next time I will make you a new body of normal size. Now this one... you can just use it for now? If it doesn't work, I'll make you another one tomorrow..."
"This is all I can use for the time being," Irene sniffed twice and said with a look of grief and indignation, "Let's do this for now, you don't have to bother - even if you find me a new body tomorrow, I can't put it in for the time being. The soul of a living doll can't withstand the constant replacement of containers. At least it will take several months..."
As she spoke, she became sad again and was about to cry again.
Yu Sheng quickly took a small glass bottle and put it on Irene's face to catch it.
"What are you doing?" Irene sobbed as she looked at Yu Sheng's inexplicable behavior.
"The tears of a living doll," Yu Sheng said seriously, "Next time we make a body for you, we will try to use high-quality materials. I will collect materials in the next few months and make you a golden one..."
Irene thought about it and exclaimed: "Yu Sheng, your uncle...ah——"
After a long while, the puppet's sadness finally calmed down again.
Irene climbed onto the pile of old books next to her and sat on top of the pile, daydreaming about life. Yu Sheng sat beside the table, accompanying the doll and thinking about life with her.
"At least, it's better than before," Irene muttered quietly, not knowing whether she was talking to Yu Sheng or herself, "At least I can run around by myself now."
"I can watch TV by myself now," Yu Sheng quickly agreed, "This is much more convenient than before, right?"
Irene let out a long sigh, as if trying to appear solemn and heavy, but because she was too small (66.6cm), the sigh didn't show any heaviness at all.
Yu Sheng turned his head and secretly looked at Irene now, his eyes fell on her exposed wrists and knees.
The doll's unique ball joints look particularly eye-catching.
“It’s clearly a clay figure that was used as a container, but in the end it became this puppet-like ball joint,” he said thoughtfully.
"Nonsense, an action figure, how can it move without joints?" Irene turned her head and glanced at Yu Sheng. "This is what is recorded in my soul, so no matter what the original form of the container is, the body will become like this after the soul is reshaped. If you don't like ball joints, then I can't help it."
"Oh, that's not the case," Yu Sheng said casually, "but speaking of the appearance recorded in your soul... your soul still records that you were originally 1.67 meters tall..."
Irene jumped from the pile of books to Yu Sheng's arm in an instant, holding his thumb tightly and twisting it upwards: "Can you please stop talking about that!"
Yu Sheng jumped up with a roar, and while trying to pull the small (66.6cm) but extremely strong doll off his arm, he quickly explained: "I'm just curious, curious! What went wrong with your remodeling process? There's obviously no deviation in appearance, so why has the body shrunk so much..."
"How would I know!" Irene was pulled down from Yu Sheng's arm and was held in the air by her collar. "There shouldn't be any problem. Everything seemed normal during the regeneration process, but the final body shape was wrong... Hey! Can you put me down first!"
"Then you have to promise me not to break my fingers." Yu Sheng held Irene's collar and said to the doll with a serious face. He waited for the other party to nod before putting her back on the table.
"Oh, forget it. There's no point in thinking so much." Irene sighed again, walked back and forth on the table for a few steps, and shook her head. "I still have to find a way to contact the sisters in Alice's cabin. If I can go home, the sisters will definitely have a way..."
Yu Sheng was a little curious when he heard this: "You keep mentioning Alice's house and the dolls... Where are those sisters you mentioned usually? Are there any other dolls in this city besides you? By the way, what does your "organization" usually do?"
He had always wanted to ask these questions, but with so many difficult things happening one after another recently, he finally had the chance to speak now.
"We? We are a group created by the puppet ancestor. Our mission... Actually, we don't have much of a mission. Sometimes we go to deal with aliens, and sometimes we help other organizations deal with some difficult entities, but most of the time, the puppets just do what they like," Irene recalled and said, "Most of my sisters are not active in the human world, but there should be a contact point in the world city... But I don't remember where it is, and after so many years, the contact methods and contacts should have changed..."
She climbed back onto the pile of old books, propped her chin up with both hands, and slowly continued in her recollection: "When we are active in the human world, we always use some disguises. Living dolls look a lot like humans, so it's easy to blend in with the crowd. This city is so huge, and it's not easy to find the hidden living dolls without a specific contact method or a specific contact person..."
Yu Sheng was listening on the side. Although he had already thought that there might be all kinds of strange guys hiding in this city, he still felt a little surprised at this time: "Unbelievable... I always thought that the only residents in this city were humans..."
"How is that possible?" Irene rolled her eyes at Yu Sheng. "This is the border area."
"The border..." Yu Sheng repeated the word softly.
"Anything is possible in this border area. For example, isn't there a strange guy like you who thinks he is a human being hidden in this old town?" Irene waved her hand and jumped down from a pile of old books. "Let's go downstairs first. I've stayed here long enough. I finally have the ability to move freely. I want to take a good walk in this big house~"
"That's right," Yu Sheng exhaled, patting his face to cheer himself up, "It took me most of the day just to massage your body. I'm hungry now. Let's go downstairs and make something to eat."
As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the attic exit. He had only taken two steps when he heard Irene yelling from behind: "Hey, wait a minute! I haven't come down yet!"
When Yu Sheng turned around, he saw Irene running a few steps from the table, jumping hard onto the creaking old chair, then crawling to the edge of the chair, grabbing the chair legs with her hands and feet and slowly sliding down. After a while, she finally landed on the floor smoothly...
Yu Sheng: “…”
Irene struggled to run to Yu Sheng's feet with her short legs. Only then did she notice the gaze on her. She immediately raised her head and put her hands on her hips to look dignified: "Why are you looking at me?"
"Nothing," Yu Sheng shook his head, "I just think she's pretty... cute."
He almost said the word "Coke".
Irene was stunned, and didn't notice the suspicious pause in Yu Sheng's words: "Yes, yes?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Then she followed Yu Sheng and walked forward. After taking two steps, she reached out and tugged at Yu Sheng's pants: "By the way, thank you."
Yu Sheng lowered his head and tugged at the waist of his pants with a puzzled look.
"Thank you for helping me prepare my body. The situation was so chaotic just now that I didn't have time to thank you properly." Irene said seriously.
Yu Sheng couldn't help but look up and down at the doll (66.6cm) at this moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "You are in this state, and you still want to thank me?"
"Let's put it one way or another. I don't know what went wrong when I was reshaping my body, but this body is indeed what you carefully prepared for me," Irene tilted her head, looking particularly serious (but she didn't really show it), "even though it's a little ugly."
"…You don't need to add the last sentence."
"Anyway, anyway, what I promised you before is still valid," Irene said hurriedly, "I will help you in the future, whether you need help in a fight or assistance in mysticism, I will be very useful. Even if I find other sisters in the future and return to Alice's cabin, I will come back to help you, just..."
She paused for a moment and thought about it.
"So, let's set it at 100 years?" She looked at Yu Sheng and confirmed carefully, "You should be old and dead by then, right?"
Yu Sheng: “…I will do my best.”
"Then let's set it at a hundred years," Irene laughed happily. For some reason, she suddenly felt very happy. Then she turned around and ran towards the attic exit with her short legs. "Then let's go downstairs quickly..."
Her voice suddenly stopped and she fell forward suddenly, like a puppet whose strings were suddenly cut. She was thrown a long way by the inertia of running until she hit the opposite wall.
The smile on Yu Sheng's face froze the moment Irene fell.
“What…what the hell?!”
He was stunned for a moment, then rushed to Irene's side, bent down and picked up the little doll from the ground.
The puppet closed its eyes tightly, without any strength in its body. The limbs that were warm a second ago were now as cold as ordinary clay. Only the skin still maintained its soft and active touch, but there was no sense of life.
Yu Sheng was completely confused.
Then, he heard Irene's voice coming from the big table not far away -
"Yusheng! I, I'm back in here!"
Thanks to the angry Baiyin Meng~ (End of this chapter)
