"Puppet technique?" Mu Xi frowned, as if he had never heard of this kind of exercise, "What is it?"

Chu Li sneered, glanced at Liu Yao, who was looking at him expectantly, and said, "I want to listen to her first, why are you here, and how did you learn puppetry." ”

"That's right. Yun Zhifan also echoed, "You're walking around the teaching building alone late at night, aren't you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid. Liu Yao tilted his head and said as a matter of course, "I have not been very sensitive to horror things since I was a child, and when others watch horror movies and yell, I think it is very normal, so I joined the Department of Paranormal Science Research." ”

"Oh, I know, it's that ......," Yun Zhifan thought for a while and said, "The department that specializes in all kinds of terrorist incidents, and the 'Campus Strange Conversations' of the school community are also issued by their department. ”

"Su Yao, then how did you learn this kind of exercise. ”

"I don't know. Liu Yuyao also lowered his head in confusion, "Mu Xi, do you remember that I had a boyfriend before? He committed suicide a month ago, and then I found that all the parts of my body could be disassembled, and I don't know why this happened." ”

"Did someone commit suicide?" Mu Xi was a little puzzled, "Is it a technique at the cost of life?" It doesn't seem right, Su Yao, do you tell others about your physical condition?"

"Nope. Liu Yao shook his head and took out the notebook hidden in the drawer, "Because I want to find out the condition of my body, I sneak out of the dormitory every night and go to the laboratory to do experiments for myself." This notebook is what I used to record when I was doing experiments. ”

Mu Xi casually looked at Liu Yao's notebook and found that it recorded all kinds of fatal experiments. For example, Liu Wuyao will throw his two hands to the first floor, and then control his two arms to climb from the first floor to the third floor.

"So what?" Mu Xi closed the notebook and looked at Chu Li, "What kind of puppet technique are you talking about?"

"Have you ever heard of a puppet show?" Chu Li asked.

"I know. Yun Zhifan raised his hand, "It is a form of performance in which people and puppets perform on the same stage, and I watched the performance of the village art troupe with my grandmother when I was a child. ”

"Then do you know what kind of puppet is the best?"

"Uh...... I don't know. ”

"It's a doll made of human flesh. ”

！！！

Chu Li's words made the three other people stunned for a moment, and even Liu Yuyao, who lacked the emotion of perceiving fear, looked at Chu Li with a rather surprised expression.

"In ancient times, there was also fierce competition among puppet show peers. Chu Li slowly explained, "In order to create a puppet that is better than that of their peers, the leaders of the troupe are all working hard. Until one day, a team leader found that whether it was a puppet or a puppet, his movements had limits because of the relationship between the limbs.

There are some actions that can never be expressed. So the leader of the team began to put his mind on human beings, he felt that human beings could make more complex and delicate movements than puppets, so he wanted to make people into puppets. This is the origin of puppetry. ”

"Hiss~~" Yun Zhifan gasped, and felt very strange again, "No, I remember that the puppets used in puppet shows are only half a person tall, and they are very small." ”

"That's because in ancient times, the humans who were chosen as dolls were babies or young children......"

"Ah......" Liu Yao felt a little incredulous, "to use this terrible technique on a child. ”

"Puppetry was developed in a time of war, when there were children displaced by war, or couples who had to sell their children to survive. At that time, if the opera troupe wanted to survive, it had to be sung by high-ranking officials and nobles, and if they wanted to go to those places, they had to defeat all their peers nearby. Then choosing a child to be a puppet has almost become an inevitable choice. ”

"What does that puppetry have to do with the death of Su Yao's boyfriend? Mu Xi asked a key question, "Is it related to the sudden killing of Hades?"

"It may be related, but it may or may not be related. The answer given by Chu Li was ambiguous, "The principle of puppetry, at the beginning, was only made by wiping off the soul of a person through some medicinal liquids, and then hollowing out the heavy bones in the human body and embedding them in a special skeleton. However, this kind of puppet could not be stored for a long time, so after the end of the war, this method was eliminated.

Later, in order to create better puppets, the troupe leaders worked hard for several generations to form the puppet art we see now. They first kill people's bodies and detain their souls in their bodies, so that they do not feel fear and pain. ”

"Is it like what we saw in that chemical plant before?" asked Mu Xi.

"Yes. In order to prevent the body from rotting like the workers, they will find a wisp of soul to live on the puppet's body, so that the soul can constantly devour the corpse qi produced by the body. And the reason why you are able to dismantle the limb is also because the soul attached to you wraps the limb so that the blood does not flow out, and the soul will heal you quickly when you connect it. ”

"Then I... Then I'm now..."Liu Yao seemed to realize something.

"That's right, it's a pity. Chu Li nodded, "You only have your soul alive now, and your body is dead." ”

"Ah......h

Because of the lack of fear, Liu Yuyao heard the news that he had died, and he didn't feel much fear, but only a little lost. On the contrary, Yun Zhifan was a little afraid to speak, after all, there was a "dead man" sitting next to him.

Later, this puppet technique was improved by the monks and became a new method for cultists to cultivate puppets. However, the puppet art should have been extinct seven or eight hundred years ago, because the emperor at that time had sent special horses to sweep away many monks who made a fortune with this evil technique, but I didn't expect to see it today. ”

"Su Yao. Mu Xi shook Liu Yaoyao's hand and asked with great concern, "You really don't remember how you were transformed into a puppet?

"I don't know. Liu Yao still shook her head, "My boyfriend told me the day before he committed suicide that he wanted to be with me forever and forever, and then the next day I became like this. ”

Chu Li stood up and said to Mu Xi: "If you want to find it interesting, you can go and investigate her so-called boyfriend, anyway, there is no way to save her." As for me, I won't be with you. That's the end of today's weird story, it's time for me to go. Ah~~ sleepy. ”
