Chapter 140 Sweet Home 23
The red particles fell to the ground, but they did not bounce around. Instead, they combined into several strange shapes.
Then the surface of the shape slowly changed color, eventually forming several incomplete puppet parts.
Looking at them, Yu Ke immediately thought of the equally incomplete dolls in the secret room of the library.
It turns out that this is how dolls are "made".
Looking at the big ball again, after all the red particles on it fell off, the big ball returned to its original black color.
Xu Shaoyang walked forward, picked up Zhao Ming, who was lying on the ground, and looked at him.
From the outside, Zhao Ming seemed to be fine.
Xu Shaoyang grabbed him and shook him: "Are you still alive?"
Zhao Ming had a wooden face and didn't react. Seeing that he ignored him, Xu Shaoyang tied him up again and threw him back.
Then he turned around, grabbed Yu Wanlan, and pressed her onto the big black ball without any discrimination.
The next scene was the same as Zhao Ming's, with a few more puppet parts on the ground.
The difference is that this time the parts seem very familiar to Luo Hefeng and He Xiao.
The two held them in their hands and compared them for a long time before finally confirming that these were most likely their own puppet parts.
Among them, He Xiao’s part is particularly large, probably because Yu Wanlan had the most contact with her.
He Xiao held one arm, wanting to cry but unable to: "What on earth are these?"
I always feel like it's important to me, so I have to keep it with me.
Xu Shaoyang lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly took out a knife, walked to Yu Wanlan's side, half-knelt down, and with one hand he raised the knife and struck -
Yu Wanlan's forearm suddenly separated from her body.
Yu Ke was so frightened that her eyes widened. She thought she would see a bloody scene with blood spurting everywhere, and her shoulders and back were tensed in advance.
However, she waited for a long time with her heart trembling, but the scene she imagined still did not happen.
However, Xu Shaoyang seemed to have expected this and picked up Yu Wanlan's fallen forearm to examine it.
The fracture surface was flat and smooth, without a drop of blood flowing out. When I looked inside, it was as expected.
There was no flesh, blood or bone in the forearm; it was filled entirely with red particles.
Xu Shaoyang went to chop off Zhao Ming's arm again. His situation was exactly the same as Yu Wanlan's.
Everyone gathered around to watch. Yu Wanlan and Zhao Ming, whose forearms were chopped off, both had indifferent expressions, as if they didn't feel any pain.
At this time, they looked like two lifeless puppets.
...No, maybe they were puppets.
Yu Ke looked at Xu Shaoyang and Qi Qianye. They were the only three of them who had seen the other incomplete doll with their own eyes.
Apparently they had also thought about this, their brows slightly sank.
Doesn’t this mean that those puppets have the potential to “come alive”?
Xu Shaoyang said with a rare serious expression: "I have a guess."
He recalled everything that happened after entering the copy from beginning to end, and the ideas in his mind became more complete.
"I think that the NPCs contacted us to obtain our memories. These memories will eventually turn into red particles like this."
"Memory particles are the raw material for making puppets. The more memories there are, the more complete the puppet will be. Until all our memories are taken away, the puppet will completely replace us."
The puppet that possesses the player's complete memory can act on the player's behalf in the dungeon without basically any obstacles.
Who can see through the same skin, penetrate the copied and pasted memories, and tell their true identities?
After hearing Xu Shaoyang's words, everyone shuddered.
They thought along this line of thought, and the more they thought about it, the more it seemed reasonable, and they even felt that it was the truth.
But if this is the truth, then among the players...how many have been replaced by puppets without anyone noticing?
Could it be that they are the only real people left in the copy at this moment?
[Really, I think this is the worst place in the dungeon, no doubt about it. 】
[I was so badly cheated back then!] ! ! My advice is don’t trust anyone! 】
[The person above thinks that everything will be fine if you fly solo? Do you know how it feels to be the only living person in a copy? 】
[After struggling for so long, I finally failed. If I had known, I would have died happily from the beginning (smile.jpg)]
[So Yu Yu's flowery item is absolutely a natural counter to this copy. I would like to call it a limited artifact. 】
[Yes, the identity of this NPC is all known to Yu Yu, and it can be seen clearly. By the way, was this flower item purchased in the mall? 】
[I don’t know. I haven’t seen it in the mall. 】
Yu Ke looked down at the snapdragon flower on her wrist.
Although the flowers appeared to be withered at the moment because of the presence of Yu Wanlan and Zhao Ming, she had checked it before coming in.
At least we are still human beings, and there have been no puppets mixed in. That’s great.
She vaguely realized the important role of snapdragon flowers in this copy, but after looking up at her anxious companions and hesitating for a moment, she chose not to say it out loud.
If she revealed this to her companions and one of them was replaced by a doll later, her snapdragon flower would be exposed and the doll would be on guard.
Knowing her thoughts, System 5488 was very touched.
Its cabbage actually grew a brain.
It is really cause for celebration. Really cause for celebration!
Yu Ke sneezed twice in succession and rubbed her nose suspiciously.
Is someone scolding her?
Xu Shaoyang glanced at the others who were panicking and worried, "There's no need to be so scared. If there's no way to tell who can be trusted and who can't be trusted, then why not just trust no one?"
After hearing this, everyone felt that what he said made sense.
Before this, they had hardly any contact with other players, so at worst they would just not have any contact with them in the future.
Solve the problem of backstabbing directly from the root.
The heavy atmosphere immediately became light.
Luo Hefeng and He Xiao picked at their puppet parts, thinking of their lost memories, and were reluctant to let go for a moment, so they boldly asked:
"If we eat these red particles, will our memories be restored?"
Yu Ke paused, turned her head and looked at the puppet limbs in the hands of the two men, which looked just like real people, and fell silent.
Imagining the scene of eating this thing, her fair little face wrinkled into a ball.
"Can you...eat it?"
This looks no different from cannibalism.
Luo Hefeng and He Xiao looked down and fell silent.
...You're right, you're really hard to swallow.
The two of them silently put down the puppet parts and explained their choice with their actions.
Xu Shaoyang stared at the broken limbs and arms on the ground, and suddenly got inspiration from them.
There are no other clues in this area at the moment, so it's time to explore the next place.
Then what should be done with Yu Wanlan and Zhao Ming?
