Chapter 52: Dolls

Her short black hair, her chin is very rounded, her small nose bridge and bright red lips, and her eyes are a strange sky blue, and she is lying in the box, her bright red robe makes her somewhat stiff face look a little like

A corpse in a coffin.

"Sir, this puppet is a fine scapegoat for the purpose of burning sins in the afternoon for the purpose of craftsman, this puppet is specially carved by a craftsman in our shop. ”

The waiter in the store noticed that Zhu Jue had been looking at the doll sets they had placed in the store, and took the initiative to come over and introduce them.

"Burning the ritual of sin?"

Zhu Jue was a little strange why this puppet was so delicately cooked, and soon remembered that the last time he came to Rong Xia City, he seemed to have heard someone talk about it, but he couldn't remember it for a while, after all, he just listened to it at that time.

"Didn't you notice that these two rows of shelves are full of dolls?"

The "person" who spoke raised his hand and pointed to the shelf next to him, and Zhu Jue found that there were a large number of dolls neatly placed on it.

It's not an animal doll for children to pass the time, but a simulated puppet, but it shouldn't be a robot, after all, the fraud of those robot puppets is tens of thousands, and they won't burn this kind of puppet, so most of the shelves are wooden or cloth dolls, like the delicate puppets that Zhu Jue sees now are rare, and the sides of these shelves are marked in detail: for sacrifice.

"Where is this ritual taking place?"

Looking back at Li Qinglian and the three of them who were picking masks on other shelves nearby, Zhu Jue asked.

He wasn't really interested in the incineration, but there didn't seem to be a place to go this afternoon, and their original plan was to play wherever they wanted, but now that they had a clear location, it would be good to take a look.

"Aren't you going to try it in the square of the Brahma Myoja Temple, when the time comes, there will be many people who will go to pray for blessings?"

"No thanks. ”

Zhu Jue didn't believe this, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he looked at the "person" who had been introducing goods to him fluently, he found a slight black cut on her neck, and then looked at the rings on the left and right sides of her head, and then realized that the person who had been chatting with him was actually a bionic person

Essentially, should androids be considered robot puppets?

It introduced itself to the puppet used for incineration, Zhu Jue was a little awkward, so he laughed dryly twice and prepared to return to his team.

As he was leaving, he vaguely heard a few more customers coming in from outside the door, talking loudly in front of the android clerk about whether or not to buy a "high-end" puppet to attend the sacrifice.

Zhu Jue suddenly thought that their behavior seemed to be no different from talking about pork for a few dollars a pound in front of a pig, because the latter couldn't pay attention to the meaning of this.

Just like now, the android clerk still greeted them very warmly and began to introduce the product to them.

"Zhu Jue, have you chosen a mask? I decided to ask for this. ”

Li Qinglian was holding a snow girl mask in her hand, not so much terrifying, but with a bewitching beauty, Wu Tong had a red tengu mask in her hand, and turned her head to look at Olivia, who was looking at a purple face.

Zhu Jue didn't make much of a choice, because he found a beast-like mask on a shelf, which looked very similar to the appearance of the wind chime when he was angry, so it naturally became the last choice.

"Are you done choosing? We're going to go to see the rehearsal of the play in the tourist area, so we'll settle the bill first." ”

Li Qinglian waved her mask and went to check out, and at this time, someone just came in at the door of the store, went straight to the counter, and happened to walk in front of Zhu Jue and his party.

Zhu Jue and Olivia frowned at the first time, and began to pay attention to him intentionally or unintentionally.

This man's face looks very young, but his face is a little haggard, the clothes on his body are also loose and drooping, and the inner lining of the shirt has a layer of corners exposed, obviously he was in a hurry when he went out, and he should have been in a hurry when he came to this store.

This state of haste and anxiety is easily reminiscent of something bad.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jue took a few steps forward in the name of settling the bill.

"Hello, I would like to buy some parts for the dolls, here is the list. ”

The man took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, Zhu Jue glanced at it, it should have been torn out of an ordinary notebook, as for the content on it, although he vaguely saw some words, but most of them were some codes or the model data of something, and he didn't know anything about it.

"I'm sorry, sir, although we have some of the things on your list here, but they are all mechanical parts that have been installed on the dolls, and if they are sold to you, the dolls will be wasted, and we will still have to make money from this. ”

Someone was sitting behind the counter, and the sunlight outside didn't reach that position, so it was a little dark, except for the mist of cigarettes.

This boss is not an android, Zhu Jue is sure of this, this business abacus is clanging.

There are parts, but they are all on the dolls, and if you want to, of course, then buy them all.

"Then you can give me those dolls first, and can you please tell me where I can buy those parts that you don't have in your store?"

The man was direct, he didn't even bargain, and nodded that as long as it was a puppet related to those parts, he wanted it all.

Zhu Jue grinned on the side, thinking that the owner of this shop had slaughtered a fat sheep today, and at the same time extinguished the thought of going over to investigate, since people came to buy things in the middle of the year, they were still wronged, so naturally there was no problem.

Olivia also retracted her gaze, followed Li Qinglian to the counter to settle the bill, and finally glanced at the man, his eyes on the smart watch in his hand paused for a moment, and then left behind Zhu Jue.

As soon as he went out, Zhu Jue saw a person in a gray cloak standing in the corridor outside the shop, with a hood on his head, and some strange clothes, but the other party hung his head and stood with his backlight, so that people couldn't see what was going on inside the hood.

Oh~

The wind chimes pulled Zhu Jue's trouser leg and called at the fried fish at the roadside stall in front of him.

"Okay, let's go. ”

Leaving the man in the shop and the "mysterious man" outside, Zhu Jue picked up the wind chime and put the mask he bought directly on top of its head.
