Chapter 59 Repair
Thirty minutes later, Yu Sheng looked at the little doll lying on the "alchemy table" a little nervously.
Irene supported herself with her hands and slowly sat up, thinking about life with a dazed look in her eyes.
Doll, 66.6 cm, exudes lotus root fragrance.
The experiment was successful.jpg.
After watching for a long time, Yu Sheng felt that Irene didn't seem to have any problems, and he became more confident: "See, I told you it can be done. You can even use flour, so why can't lotus root..."
"Don't talk yet, let me think it through," Irene raised her hand to interrupt Yu Sheng, then looked at her hands with a strange look, "Oh, I don't understand, how can this be possible? This is unreasonable, you know, how can this be possible..."
Yu Sheng curled his lips and said, "You let me try it, how come you still don't believe it after trying it?"
"I shouldn't have let you try! How could I have known you could really succeed! Now my arms are really broken!" Irene stared at Yu Sheng angrily, "I just wanted to have fun with you. Your nonsense 'alchemy' can't possibly succeed! I just wanted you to give up... No, how did you succeed, huh? How did you succeed?!"
"I don't know," Yu Sheng was also a little stunned, "You agreed to give it a try, so I gave it a try. You didn't say you wanted to see me having fun. I thought you really supported my scientific research career..."
Irene wanted to jump up and bite him instantly, but she failed because her legs hadn't been repaired yet. She could only sit on the table and curse: "Scientific research! What kind of scientific research is this? You broke my arms into pieces, what should I do? Now they're really growing together! How did you do it? The power of thought? Huh?!"
Yu Sheng thought about it and felt that thinking should really be the result of thinking.
But Irene's intense reaction now was indeed beyond his expectations - he had no foundation in alchemy at all, and all the operations were just him following what the puppet said. He didn't think about anything at all when he was infusing blood and infusing spirits into the two lotus roots, and he didn't know that this was a random operation that would never succeed. When the two lotus roots that had undergone the spirit-infusing ritual suddenly squirmed near Irene's elbow and turned into limbs, he just thought it was all normal.
He didn't expect to scare the little doll like this.
"I'm sorry..." Yu Sheng thought about it and began to feel uneasy. "How about we replace it? I'll go downstairs and find an axe..."
Before he could finish his words, Irene glared back at him.
"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"It's already like this, what else can I do." The little doll raised her arms angrily, with a look of resignation and exhaustion on her face. Then she clenched her fists with extreme caution, and moved her ten fingers one by one. She looked so nervous, as if a pair of Doctor Octopus's tentacles were connected to her body. She was afraid that these two arms that were connected by Yu Sheng's random operation would suddenly go out of control if she moved them casually.
But she soon discovered that the two hands that Yu Sheng had trained so hard were actually quite useful.
Even if the raw material is lotus root.
"Um...is the test finished?" Yu Sheng watched carefully from the side, and only broke the silence after confirming that the doll would not suddenly bite people, "It should be able to be used normally, right? It shouldn't hurt, right?"
Irene sighed: "Oh, yes, there is nothing wrong."
"If you can, then you can. Why are you sighing? You scared me." Yu Sheng finally relaxed and then focused his eyes on Irene's two legs that were unable to stand. "It's time to repair her legs. Let me see how badly she's injured."
Irene said "oh", but suddenly looked up and stared into Yu Sheng's eyes: "Wait, what are you going to use to fix it - I tell you, if you take out the lotus root powder, you will be hit by a dump truck in your dream today..."
Yu Sheng was confused: "I just don't understand, your body is made of clay, and you don't even mind using flour as a substitute, so why are you so averse to other similar materials?"
Irene raised her finger and pointed at Yu Sheng's nose, but because her hand was too small, this action had no deterrent or provocative effect at all: "You humans usually keep pets, why don't you keep cockroaches? You usually eat organic matter, why don't you eat s..."
"Okay, I understand. You don't need to say more," Yu Sheng quickly interrupted the puppet. At the same time, he instantly understood how big the gap in cognitive concepts between different races could be. "Don't worry, I have normal repair materials."
As he spoke, he opened the drawer on the other side of the table and took out a small can of epoxy putty.
"In theory, it's best to use the same kind of clay to repair a clay doll, but now that the clay is used up, it's the same as using this as a substitute. Anyway, the important thing is to use alchemy, right?" He confirmed with Irene, "I can just use a scraper to smooth it out for you, right?"
"Well... it's okay," Irene finally nodded reluctantly, and then asked curiously, "When did you prepare it?"
"It was a gift when I bought the clay, but I put it at the bottom. I didn't notice it at the time," Yu Sheng said casually while studying the instructions on the package. "Okay, now let me see your wound."
Irene finally felt relieved, then slowly pulled up the skirt with intricate lace, and took off the stockings on her right leg.
The ivory-like calves were covered with black cracks of varying sizes. Some of the cracks even went through the knees and extended to the thighs.
Yu Sheng was immediately startled: "...Fuck!"
"At least it's not broken," Irene said, still not caring at all. "If it was broken, you would have to connect another piece of lotus root to it."
"It's not a question of whether it breaks or not. Why don't you care? It really doesn't hurt at all?" Yu Sheng's voice was a little tense. Even though he was used to seeing blood and even his own bloody appearance in the past two days, when he saw the shattered state of Irene's legs, he still felt his heart pounding for some reason. It was a completely different feeling from when a hole was punched in his leg by a monster.
Perhaps it was because the appearance was too weird and terrifying, even scarier than the broken arms of the doll lady.
He reached out and touched the cracked parts of Irene's legs, and felt that the areas near the cracks were as hard as wood - Irene's normal limbs were soft and no different from humans. This hardened texture indicated that the structure near the cracks had begun to gradually lose "soul synchronization". If there was any delay, the next step would be to break and shatter like her arm before.
Irene herself laughed out loud: "Haha, don't rub it, it's itchy... It doesn't hurt, not at all... Well, it just hurts a little, very, very light."
Irene gestured with her hands, bringing her index fingers very close together, as if to emphasize how mild the pain was.
Yu Sheng sighed, took a knife and cut the back of his hand, then began to mix his blood into the repair material. He used the scraper to mix while muttering: "You are too scary. I don't know what the physiological structure of your living dolls is, but next time you get hurt, can you not be so calm? Tell me if the situation is serious as soon as possible. After all, I am the one who will repair it for you in the end..."
Irene rolled her eyes. “You were also scary when you died with your eyes open. I didn’t even say anything about you.”

Yu Sheng curled his lips, completed the subsequent material processing process, and carefully applied the putty to Irene's wound with a scraper.
"Oh, itchy..."
"Hold it, don't move."
"oh."
Irene was quiet for a while, and then, probably because she felt that the process of waiting for repairs was boring, she couldn't help but chattering again: "I actually wanted to talk to the two Secret Service agents I met today to see if they could contact the sisters in Alice's cabin. Although I can't remember the specific situation of this Secret Service, I think it is an 'official agency' of Jiecheng. They should have exchanges with Alice's cabin..."
"Then why didn't you say it?" Yu Sheng said without raising his head, his hands still carefully doing the repairs.
The scraper applied putty to fill the cracks on the puppet's legs. The repair material mixed with blood made a slight hissing sound as soon as it was applied, and then melted into black mud and mist, gradually merging with the puppet's skin, restoring its flesh-and-blood texture and elasticity.
"I don't know. I just suddenly felt a little uneasy," Irene said. "The spirit gave me a warning, and I felt uneasy... Maybe it's because I just met those two people, and I don't dare to trust them yet? It may also be that I have been out of touch with the outside world for too long. I am not sure what the current situation is between the various forces in the border area..."
Yu Sheng stopped what he was doing and looked up at the puppet: "Then next time I meet them, should I still mention you to them? They have already seen you today, and they will probably report it to them when they go back..."
"I'm not afraid of the report. There is no living puppet 66.6 cm tall in this world. They will probably report me as some kind of alchemical creature similar to a living puppet, which is not uncommon in their eyes. As for the next meeting..." Irene hesitated and looked into Yu Sheng's eyes. "It depends on the situation. If their identities are real and they are confirmed to be from the official organization, I will ask them about Alice's cabin. It would be even better if they can help me find other living puppet sisters in this city. I should feel more relieved to see my own people."
Yu Sheng seldom saw this puppet looking so anxious and worried.
But he felt that he could understand this hesitation and wavering.
If he had been sealed for half a century or even longer, and was suddenly released to face a completely unfamiliar world, with no idea what the things he once knew had become, nor the current world order and power structure, then asking for help from other forces... would indeed become something that must be done with caution.
Yu Sheng exhaled slightly, put down the scraper in his hand, and gently repositioned Irene's knee joint.
"Try to stand up."
