doll city

Chapter 102 Black Week 5 (5)

"The situation is probably like this..."

In the house on Old Porcelain Street, Dai Chengze and Gu Lili sat beside the Eight Immortals table, looking nervously at the man opposite him who kept typing on his laptop.

Yan Ge has seven or eight parts like him, but his temperament is completely different.

Yan Xuechao seemed to have just arrived. It only took 10 minutes to fully understand the current situation in Ciling City.

"Okay, use this computer as a base station, try to connect to wifi."

"what?"

After being disconnected from the Internet for several months, Dai Chengze stared blankly at the phone for the first time getting a signal.

"This place is interesting. Electromagnetic waves exist, but there is no information flow from the outside world. Add a WeChat account, so we can contact you temporarily."

After Yan Xuechao finished this, he tapped the keyboard and called up the [-]D map of Ciling, and asked while looking at it:

"To sum up the situation: the current first need is to destroy the 'Princess Alice', so that the influence of the 'living doll' in this city will take effect, and then all human beings will return to the real world. Yan Ge is now in do this, eh?"

Dai Chengze nodded dully, and asked cautiously: "Listen to Yan Ge, are you...are you, a scientist? Then everything here...you, can accept it?"

"There are too many unknowns in the world, and being unable to explain them theoretically doesn't mean they won't exist."

Yan Xuechao raised his eyes and quickly glanced at the densely written blackboard in the courtyard. After thinking for a moment, he pushed his glasses and said:

"Let me confirm with you again that there are two main situations in Ciling. First, the space is isolated from the outside world. Second, time will flow backwards on a weekly basis, right?"

"Yes, there are still some hunting grounds..."

"That's a secondary question, based on the situation derived from the above two. Based on the information you provided, I will simply make a guessing model."

Yan Xuechao turned the blackboard over and drew two vertical and horizontal number lines in the blank space.

"Briefly, all of Ciling's current conditions are based on space and time anomalies, and among all the things you call 'living puppets', the ability of this 'Alice' has a remarkable spatial characteristic , we can assume that she is the X-axis element that constitutes the abnormality."

"In contrast, you have said that there is another King of Puppets here. If you have other information, or can observe his whereabouts, then he is most likely related to 'time', assuming he is the Y axis."

"Finally, you believe that dolls and human beings are very closely related. Although it violates the usual physical theory, as the most reliable hypothesis at present, the last element that constitutes this three-dimensional logic, the Z axis, I think should be 'emotion '."

After talking about such a long analysis, Yan Xuechao turned the blackboard over and looked at the battle plan they left on the blackboard. After a while, he shook his head.

"wrong."

Dai Chengze didn't quite understand, but Gu Lili knew how powerful her uncle was, so she immediately straightened up: "Uncle and Uncle, are Xiao Gege and the others in any danger?"

"Yes." Yan Xuechao did not shy away from the children at all, "Their logic is that killing "Red Eclipse" is equivalent to killing Princess Alice, and killing Luca's beloved Princess Alice, then Luca will also disappear, and the result will be the collapse of the above-mentioned three axes—emotion, space, and time.”

Dai Chengze said: "Then... it doesn't sound like a problem?" Moreover, this powerful man who is obviously extremely intelligent just now affirmed that their previous analysis was correct.

"The issue is--"

Yan Xuechao put a question mark between the names Princess Alice and Luca.

"The information you listed before is the relationship between living puppets and people. Why do you think that there will be an emotional bond between living puppets here?"

"Of course." Dai Chengze hastily took out a piece of "The Tragedy of the Actor King" that has been circulated countless times, "Everyone here knows that this is a story of bitter love between two porcelain dolls..."

There are two china dolls in the castle,

The princess accompanied Luca in the attic.

The villain took the princess and returned home,

I cursed him one after another...

"Two porcelain dolls..." Yan Xuechao thought about it, and said, "I need more information, please give me all the information you found."

"Then, why don't you help Yan Ge and the others? Maybe they are in danger now?"

"I only do what I can do to make the most of it, and..." Yan Xuechao took a deep breath, "I didn't get caught, I figured out a way to get in."

"Huh?" Dai Chengze was dumbfounded again.

"Today is Friday, and I have a good chance of not surviving here next week, so don't waste time, hurry up."

Dai Chengze said oh several times, and led Yan Xuechao to Yan Ge's room.

"All the materials I've sorted out are here with Yan Ge. Here is the history of the county chronicles in chronological order, as well as the origins of Alice and Luca we speculated..."

"Wait." Yan Xuechao froze for a moment, looked around Yan Ge's room, and a white light suddenly appeared on the lens.

He pointed to the room.

"Who is Yan Ge living with now?"

……

The central area of ​​Ciling.

The grayish-yellow smoke and dust filled the low-hanging clouds, and the fine dust particles made the rain clouds gradually dense, and the raindrops that gradually appeared fell in the "U"-shaped encircling circle.In front of him were ruins that looked like they had been trampled by monsters.

A middle-aged man with a little excitement in his eagle eyes stepped onto the height of the ruins, with a hint of cruelty on the corner of his mouth.

"Diana, die. As a warrior... your spear blade will eventually belong to me."

Behind him, human figures with cloudy-white eyes and rotten skin emerged from the outer edge of the ruins, forming a terrifying tide of zombies, rushing towards the museum shrouded in smoke and dust.

The president of Xianggu, the original boss, finally appeared.

He was the only living person nearby, with him as the center of the circle, constantly exuding a rotten yellowish gas full of unknown germs, directing the tide of zombies, and quickly infecting the blurred area ahead.

Obviously, this time they want to wipe out their biggest opponent, M82.

At this time, the people in M82 seemed to have not recovered from the earthquake, and they were looking behind them in surprise.

Boss Yuan stood alone on a high place, watching coldly that the wave of zombies was about to sweep here.

He is the only one in the whole city who has the ability to form an army by himself. Therefore, the other teams of Xianggu cannot cooperate with him, so he can only show up alone.

"ended."

After this battle is over, M82 will be destroyed. As a hero who repelled an A-level team by himself, he will establish an undisputed deterrent force in this living puppet city and formulate new rules.

He and his gang no longer need to wander around in every country for such a small money transaction. This is the cemetery of civilized society, but it is a paradise for people in the dark.

Just when he was feeling a lot of emotions, Boss Yuan suddenly frowned, and his figure suddenly flashed to the side in a slightly embarrassed way.

Almost at the same time, a bullet whizzed past his head with a "swish", and immediately after that, the second bullet directly rubbed against Yuan Boss' neck, causing a cloud of blood to burst out.

"Cough, cough cough..." Boss Yuan rolled on the spot and hid in the bunker, but the artery he was scratched by the bullet was not fatal, not even much blood flowed out, and it was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye with.

The third and fourth bullets scattered stone fragments around the bunker, suppressing him so much that he had to hide more concealed.

"Diana, I knew you weren't going to die so soon, but your team is about to...huh?"

Through the glass in front of him, Boss Yuan's pupils shrank, and he saw that the zombie wave had arrived at the position where the M82 team members were just now, but the flailing zombies just passed through without catching anyone.

At the same time, he also found that he was at the back of the museum.

"...a mirage?"

……

"Bingo."

After changing the bullets, Diana turned out of the window with the gun on her shoulders, as if she had expected Boss Yuan to be so angry that she was about to curse at this time, she started talking to herself.

"Otherwise, why do you think I'm not in the museum?"

The defense is that people from Xianggu will come and attack.

And if the original boss dared to show up, wouldn't it be an opportunity to destroy Xianggu?

Diana's blue eyes reflected the cloudy sky in front of her. Pulling on her mask, she looked at the museum in the distance—at this moment, the museum was filled with red mist.

A trace of imperceptible worry floated between his brows, and then was replaced by a firm will.

"The second game of hide and seek, it's my turn to be a ghost."

……

Museum Swan Castle.

Alice played a note wrong.

Her ceramic fingers slowly come down from the keys, looking a little frustrated.

"Teacher, it's too noisy outside, and I can't concentrate on practicing. If this continues, I will shame my mother at the banquet."

When her foot came off the pedal and touched the tile floor, there were some red blood stains like spider webs under her feet.

Alice said: "I can't shame my mother, I want to... drive away those annoying crows."

She stepped off the piano bench, and with every step she took towards the gate, the atmosphere of destruction in the entire Schwann Castle increased. Just as she was about to approach the gate, the violin teacher behind her made a sound.

"Before that, I have a piece of news that I must tell you about your mother, Countess Mary."

Alice stopped in her tracks.

The violin teacher continued: "You know, Countess Mary has been widowed for a long time, and her previous husbands had no chance to be with her for the rest of her life. These years, she has not been happy. Fortunately, you are here, and you have become her spiritual sustenance .”

"Yes." Alice lifted the white skirt and turned it around half a circle. The terrifying temperament just now seemed to have weakened a little. Like a favored girl, she raised her chin proudly and reservedly.

"I love my mom as much as my mom loves me and we will always be together."

Alice is confident that she has all the love of Countess Mary, and it seems that because she has always been so sure, there is even a humane smile on the corner of her mouth.

The Rose Manor named after her, the dress woven for her by all the weavers in the Principality, and the king's pigeon blood ruby ​​have also become her beauty embellishments, and everything is for her.

She has always believed that as long as her wedding is grand enough, her mother will come back to see her...

"But, I'm sorry, I'm going to take away part of Countess Mary's love." The violin teacher said briskly,

"Why?" Alice stopped, and her jewel-like eyes reflected the violinist's figure.

"The Countess Mary has just agreed to my marriage proposal. As her husband, I will share the love I deserve."

Alice was a little dazed: "Then, what about me?"

"I'm very sorry, Alice." A female voice suddenly sounded behind her.

Alice turned her head slowly, slowly.

What caught her red eyes first was the pearl lace skirt, and then, the familiar figure, under the brown curly hair, was a bright red lip like blood, and this beautiful face was so clear for the first time .

With charming honey-colored eyes and a straight nose bridge, except for a trace of law lines that add to the style, this is the notorious glamorous duke of the Principality of San Naloka.

"Mother……"

Before Alice could react, Countess Mary raised her skirt, walked straight to the young and handsome violinist, and extended her hand to him.And the latter also smiled back, bowed slightly naturally, and branded a kiss on the back of the countess' hand.

"As you can see, Alice, I'm going to remarry, and this..." Countess Mary recalled, before saying, "Mr. Lawrence."

Li Ya was only puzzled for a moment, and continued to cooperate: "It is an honor that we will spend the rest of our sweet life in this castle, Alice, thank you for pleasing Madam for a long time, and I will be responsible for taking over her love from now on." ...you can go back to the underground warehouse."

Alice didn't seem to understand his words, and looked at the figure of Countess Mary leaning on the violinist's shoulder with some stubbornness.

"Mom? I'm your daughter, I..."

"I'm sorry Alice, you are going back to the warehouse, of course, you are still my most precious collection."

Collection?

Alice struggled to understand the word, and at the same time, in the white Swan Castle, the candles went out one by one, and the tone gradually darkened.

"Mom, you left for me, to find me a suitable new dress...but you came back for him?"

Alice put her hand on her heart, listening to the newborn heartbeat disappearing little by little.

"you love him?"

Countess Mary smiled and said, "Yes, I love him."

"You said you loved me too, you said it a thousand times."

"That's different. I said I love you at that moment because I like the collection. I can never really love you."

Countess Mary's red lips raised: "Because Alice, you are just a toy that humans use for entertainment."

Click.

There was a thin crack on Alice's flawless ceramic face.

She stretched out her hand and took a step forward: "Mom?"

Countess Mary was still smiling, like a girl who just fell in love, turned her back together with the violinist, and stopped looking at Alice.

"There is going to be a new owner in the castle. Maybe I am too late at this age, but it is not hopeless. I hope to have a new daughter. It doesn't have to be as beautiful as Alice. Seeing her grow up is also a unique experience." fun of……"

They discussed the life between people and built a transparent wall, a wall that a living puppet could never break.

Alice's limbs became more and more stiff, and the cracks on her face gradually widened. She staggered and stretched out her hands, as if she wanted to beg for a hug.

"Even... I... am, the 'eternal' in your mouth?"

Countess Mary gave a look of pity, and said silently with red lips——

"Alice, sleep forever, it is impossible for human beings to give love to living puppets."

Alice's hands hang down, and everything around her, the floor tiles, bookshelves, and air, are like ceramics cracked from the inside, making a sound of collapse.

"I can come to you from distant stars,

I can swim to you from the vast depths of the sea,

I can span worlds like the sands of the Ganges,

But you can't say you've lost your love for me.

Because that's going to kill me, that's going to make me..."

Alice inside the door, and the Red King of Death outside the door, with cracks spreading all over his body, uttered a cry that seemed to be the last and closest to human beings before dying.

"crazy……"

The author has something to say:

The behavior of living puppets is directly influenced by humans

They cannot measure the weight of good and evil

It is a direct reflection of the human heart
