Chapter 71 Doll
The applicant who was called didn't think much and stood up obediently.
Although he never played with dolls, changing the doll's clothes was better than listening to the chess pieces cursing here.
The housekeeper led him up to the second floor and pushed open the door of one of the rooms.
In the dimly lit room, there was a row of exquisite articulated dolls standing on the shelves. They looked very lifelike and each face was a little different. They looked very precious and might have been custom-made.
"My little master loves these dolls very much. She needs to change into a formal dress before dinner every day. Now it's time to change clothes." The butler said, "Go quickly."
Even the baby has to change clothes for dinner? This is too much trouble.
But the applicant still walked into the room without any suspicion.
Maybe this is what it means to be a rich family, there are many rules to be broken.
The housekeeper quietly closed the door outside, probably going downstairs to watch the chess game.
In the room, all the exquisite dolls seemed to be staring straight at this outsider.
The applicant shuddered for no reason, a little scared by being stared at. Soon he realized that it was not his illusion, but the dolls' eyes were really fixed on him from a very subtle angle.
He immediately cursed in his mind, because he knew that in order to make the doll look realistic, the eyes of this kind of doll were installed later and could be removed. Who knew who had deliberately turned the doll's gaze to look at the door?
The applicant decided to turn them around in her eyes later, and while searching around, she found the little skirt and the little suit that were stored in the closet.
Each piece of clothing was meticulously crafted and extremely gorgeous. Even a strong man like him would be tempted by such an exquisite dress-up game.
The only drawback is that these small clothes are displayed on some dry things made of unknown materials, and the clothes are somewhat stuck to the hangers.
The applicants were very careful when taking the small clothes off the rack for fear of damaging them.
Behind him, the glass eyes of the jointed dolls were turning towards him with difficulty.
The applicant successfully took off a small skirt and folded the accessories neatly one by one. She turned around and noticed the abnormality.
He immediately became alarmed. But after observing the dolls for a while, he saw no unusual behavior from them, so he had no choice but to pick up one of them.
Unexpectedly, the doll's plastic limbs immediately began to move around, as if struggling, as if swimming in water. The plastic face wrinkled slightly, and its eyes became resentful.
This doll is alive?! Why is there such a big reaction?
The disease called doll phobia, which is buried deep in the human heart, broke out in this environment where he was alone with a bunch of dolls.
He looked at the little face which began to wrinkle and immediately felt his scalp tingling. He had no idea what the other party wanted to do to him and subconsciously wanted to throw the doll in his hand away.
But reason stopped him. Things in the employer's house should not be damaged at will.
The applicant suppressed his fear and used his remaining sanity to put the doll, which was still waving its arms, back on the shelf.
Then he immediately ran out of the house, rushed all the way to the stairs, and shouted down: "Mr. Butler, those dolls..."
As expected, the housekeeper returned to the first floor to watch the chess game. When he heard him shout, he raised his head and "looked" at him with his face without facial features: "Don't shout in the manor. Have you changed the dolls' clothes?"
"No."
"Why don't you go now?"
The applicant calmed down and said, "But Mr. Butler, the dolls don't seem to like those dresses very much."
The butler paused for a moment: "I don't like you either."
“…”
After hearing this threat, the applicant had no choice but to shut up and walked back to the room where the doll was placed.
The doll that was struggling just now is no longer moving. It is sitting quietly on the shelf, staring at the door of the room with the other dolls.
It struggled so hard. The applicant felt that he was just a novice. If he tried to change the doll's clothes right away, it would be bad if he broke its arms and legs.
He tentatively picked up another doll. Once it was picked up, it struggled even more violently than the last one, with a mask of pain covering its plastic face.
The applicant had no choice but to put it down and pick up other dolls.
After going all the way down, the applicant touched the doll placed at the innermost end. He felt that the plastic of the doll was a bit old and yellowed, but its struggle was the slightest.
The applicant immediately held down the doll's limbs with one hand, carefully took off the home clothes it was wearing with the other hand, and then put on the gorgeous little dress piece by piece for it.
Because the doll's arms were so weak, the applicant was quickly successful. A look similar to despair began to appear on the doll's face.
Suddenly, the gorgeous skirt began to move in his palms.
Before the applicant could react to what was happening, he saw the doll's body suddenly shrivel up drastically, and its entire plastic face turned into a mask of pain.
Soon, the doll in the applicant's hand turned into the same material as the ugly hangers used to display the skirts.
It turns out that those hangers were originally dolls? How could this be? The applicant was startled and opened his mouth in fear.
At this moment, the door of the room was opened again. The housekeeper who had returned to the first floor to watch the chess game had returned to the second floor at some point and was standing behind him. He saw everything and said, "You have damaged the valuables of the Batti family without reason. According to the rules, you need to pay equivalent compensation."
How...how to compensate?
The applicant did not ask the question because he found that his mouth could not move and he could not feel his throat. His sight also dropped a lot in an instant.
As compensation, he paid for the doll with his own life!
The housekeeper walked into the room, picked up the boy dolls on the ground, fiddled with them, and then put them on the shelf in a row.
The colored glass eyes of the dolls in the row on the shelf turned and looked at the new doll.
The housekeeper picked up the little skirt that had fallen on the ground and walked out of the room.
The voice it just spoke was very loud, and several people on the first floor had heard it.
Seeing the butler walking down from the second floor alone, everyone realized that something was wrong.
Someone whispered, "What happened?"
Others shook their heads: "I don't know."
The butler walked to the sofa again and pointed at another personal servant: "It's getting late. My little master's dolls need to be changed as soon as possible. The person who changed them just now was not good enough. Now you go and change them."
Several people knew that there might be some kind of trap here.
Lu Jiamu just swallowed up Batty's king again, and the chessboard returned to peace. He looked up and smiled, without asking the hostess's opinion, he looked directly at Batty: "Can I follow him to visit your dolls?"
Batty immediately agreed happily: "Of course!"
At this moment, the five of them have no competitive relationship with the other three. They are grasshoppers tied to the same rope. If they are indifferent to others now, they will only hurt themselves in the end.
Perhaps if the three personal servants had died, all these miscellaneous things would have fallen upon them.
Kou Man also immediately asked: "Can I go and have a look too?"
Batty happily agreed again.
The housekeeper said nothing. He turned around and led the three of them upstairs and opened the door to the room where the dolls were placed. "Before dinner every day, my little master's dolls must change into formal clothes. They can only change back into home clothes after dinner. Be careful not to damage the dolls."
The three of them nodded, and the butler closed the door silently.
The faces of these exquisite articulated dolls are all different and very realistic, and may be custom-made.
Lu Jiamu looked around and immediately noticed that among the row of dolls, one of the dolls had the face of the previous applicant.
Lu Jiamu immediately stepped forward and took the doll down.
The applicant who followed him in saw him pick up the doll and immediately noticed that its face was exactly the same as the applicant's. He was very surprised: "Ah...what happened?"
The doll gently moved its plastic arms in Lu Jiamu's hands.
Lu Jiamu carefully checked its neck and found that its neck had become hollow, and it had lost its vocal cords, Adam's apple and other tissues: "It can no longer speak."
"How can this be?" the applicant said a little fearfully, "Is it because it broke the doll that it wants equal compensation? Is there something wrong with the doll?"
Lu Jiamu nodded: "That should be the case."
But I don't know how he broke the doll.
Lu Jiamu put the doll down and quickly found the cupboard where the pretty little clothes were kept and saw the display racks made of strange materials.
He picked up a suit at random and carefully peeled it off the ugly display stand made of strange material.
When he tried to move the doll again while wearing this set of clothes, the doll's limbs began to dance violently, as if it was swimming.
Seeing its reaction, Lu Jiamu hesitated for a second and said, "I'm afraid there's something wrong with this dress."
The last time it appeared in front of everyone before it turned into a doll, it was saying that the doll didn't seem to like those clothes.
Lu Jiamu fiddled with the suit for a while, but couldn't see anything. He then turned his eyes back to the display stand. After looking at it for a while, he asked, "Do you think... that stand is a bit out of place?"
The other two people immediately responded: "Yes."
Such a gorgeous, beautiful and well-made little dress is placed on such a dry and ugly stand. Anyone can see that something is wrong.
And to be honest, the shape of the clothes hanger is so clear that you can make out the head and forked legs. It looks like a human-shaped object.
Lu Jiamu pinched his chin, thinking that in this kind of situation, there are only a few things that can happen, so he asked: "Is there a knife?"
The applicant immediately pulled out a knife from his pocket: "Yes."
Lu Jiamu took the knife, wiped it slowly on his clothes, then pulled the other person's hand and stabbed his finger with lightning speed: "Use your blood."
The applicant didn't expect that he wanted to stab himself with the knife. He was caught off guard and felt pain. He immediately pulled his hand back, but blood was already flowing from his fingertips.
Lu Jiamu pulled his hand and put it into his blazer again.
A smell of blood came, and the suit began to squirm. Many winding and dense tentacles stretched out from the originally ordinary fabric inside, greedily reaching out towards the applicant's bleeding fingers.
c……
The applicant's scalp exploded when he saw all those densely packed things.
Lu Jiamu let go of his hand, and the applicant immediately pulled his hand back, but the tentacles inside his suit were still reluctantly extending out, trying to touch his fingers.
"This dress might attract blood."
