Chapter 19: How Dolls Are Born (Part II)
"Volunteering to be a doll? Well, yes and no. Martina shook her head.
"How can it be, or not?" Cheng Yuan asked again.
"Because we are actually all children who were coaxed away by Astor, in terms of the process, he didn't lie to us, he just talked to us about the conditions and the deal, so that we, who were still very weak at the time, made a deal with him willingly."
"What the hell is going on, can you elaborate on that?"
"Let's put it this way." Martina said in a deep voice, "We are different from the human criminals he captured, who only provided him with test specimens to study human structures, and we are all those of us who Astor tempted us with words and abilities to make us willing to become his dolls." In other words, we were not forced to go with him, we were all willing to go with him and were transformed into dolls by him. ”
"Not deceived?"
"Not count." Martina nodded, "I don't know about others, I only know that I was just beaten by a group of classmates, and then I was lying on the grass looking at the sky in a daze, and suddenly, a man in black suddenly appeared in front of me and asked me, do you want superhuman strength, do you want not to be bullied by anyone, the price is to sell my soul to him, I didn't hesitate to say yes, and then, he took me away." ”
"This, this, how does it sound like the story of the demon seducing people in Faust?"
"Hehe, I thought he was a demon." Martina smiled, "However, aliens and demons, in a way, are not much different. ”
"That's just as well." Cheng Yuan turned his head to look at Vivian, "What about you?" Vivien? ”
"Me? Hehe. Vivien smiled indifferently, "I'm about the same, I just burned the clothes of my new stepmother and her daughter, my half-sister, and was locked up by my father, so I closed my door and thought about it." Who knows, a man in black suddenly appeared in the room, he asked me what I wanted, and he could help me fulfill it, at the cost of giving him my soul. I said, I want to dress every day, eat good food, have fun, be able to spend money freely, go wherever I want, do whatever I want, and not be controlled by anyone, and moreover, I want my stepmother to die, so that my father will become incompetent, and he said yes, then I naturally didn't say a word, and agreed. ”
"......" Cheng Yuan blinked speechlessly, and finally looked at Louis, "What about you, Louis?" ”
"Quite simply, I want to live." Louis said with an indifferent expression, "I am born with pulmonary fibrosis, and my lung function is only one-twelfth of that of ordinary people, so I can't do any physical activity since I was a child, and I can't go to school like a normal person, so I can only move in the special ward of the hospital and the home like a nursing home for a long time, but even so, my lung function is constantly deteriorating, and it is deteriorating very badly."
My father tried his best to treat my illness, but there was no good way to treat it, and his condition continued to deteriorate. One day, I overheard the doctor telling my father that even at the most optimistic level, I might not live to be thirteen years old, and unless there was a miracle, he should be mentally prepared and not waste any more effort.
After hearing the news, my father cried bitterly, and I quietly went back to the ward, lying on the hospital bed and reading, at this time, a man in black suddenly appeared and asked me what I wanted, and he could help me realize it, at the cost of giving him my soul. I said, I want to live, live better than anyone else, healthier than anyone else, and he said yes, so I left with him. ”
"Understood." Cheng Yuan nodded slowly, "It seems that your background is ...... Unusual. So, do you want to go home to see your family and friends now? ”
"I don't want to!" Vivien replied directly.
"It doesn't matter." This is Louis's answer.
"Home?" Martina smiled and asked, "Master, how old do you think we are?" ”
"Well, eighteen? Twenty years old? ”
"Huh." Martina smiled, "You guessed wrong, don't look at me so old, in fact, my real age on Earth is only fourteen years old. ”
"Ten, fourteen?" Cheng Yuan's eyes widened, looking up and down at her height of more than 1.9 meters and her strong bodybuilder-like bodybuilder, he couldn't believe that this was a fourteen-year-old girl.
"Louis is only twelve years old, and Vivien is thirteen." Martina continued, "That is to say, the appearance of our present is completely different from the original appearance of our departure, and this difference cannot be explained by the words of plastic surgery. For example, I used to have chestnut hair, but now I have red hair, and my eyes used to be light blue, but now they have turned purple, in other words, even if we go back now, they won't recognize us, and if we barely recognize each other, it will only add to each other's troubles, so why bother. Anyway, we've all been away from home for more than half a year, and we've been missing for half a year, so let's just assume that we're all dead. ”
"This ...... You were all arrested half a year ago, no, were you coaxed to go? ”
"Pretty much." Martina nodded, "As far as I know, there were many children who had similar encounters with me at that time, all of them were under the age of sixteen, and the total number was more than 30,000, all of them half a year ago. However, in the end, except for the three of us who succeeded in becoming dolls, everyone else failed in the test without exception, and the price of failure was complete death. ”
"Utter extinction?"
"Yes, that is, the soul is completely gone, the soul is gone, what's the use of just having **? Not yet the walking dead? So those children's ** were directly destroyed as garbage. ”
"What the hell is the test, so powerful?" Cheng Yuan asked again.
"It's a mental realm test, or rather, a dream game."
"Dreaming of playing games?"
"That's right, it's a virtual game set up for each of these three classes. We need to keep learning and training in the dream, and then carry out the assessment, only after the assessment is fully qualified, can we get out of the dream, otherwise, we will be trapped in the dream. If we fail to meet the goal for a long time and are trapped in a dream, then our physical functions and spirit will slowly shrink, and eventually we will lose ourselves, die or lose our nerves due to lack of energy, and completely lose ourselves. It can also be said that we are the existence of one out of ten thousand, but these more than 30,000 people are also the best children of Aster, because among the more than 30,000 people at the beginning, the range of mental fluctuations is generally very high, in other words, when he first came to us, Astor was selected, and ordinary people are not worthy of his temptation. ”
"Well, I probably understand," Cheng Yuan frowned, "No wonder he has become a top wanted criminal, from a human point of view, Astor is indeed a heinous demon." ”
"You are his heir, whatever you want, there is no limit anyway." Vivien shrugged her shoulders and said, "But we are all subject to the core procedures, and we can't say disrespectful words to our masters and our ancestors, and we will be punished automatically, which is called verbal punishment." ”
"Oh, I forgot you all have a Bondage Charm." Cheng Yuan nodded, "By the way, after talking for a long time, are you hungry, it seems that I haven't seen you eat until now, do you need to eat something?" ”
"We've all been specially modified so that we don't need to eat to replenish our energy." Martina pointed to her right chest, "Here, we are all implanted with an energy crystal, which can continuously absorb mysterious power and continuously provide us with energy, and at present, from the perspective of human technology, we can only think that there is a small tumor; In addition, our bones are made of materials similar to those of Ina, and MRI looks similar to human skeletons, but in fact, in terms of hardness, strength, and ductility, they surpass any material known to the earth, and can repair themselves. Only ours is a carbon-based structure of humans, but it has also been optimized, such as our strength is stronger than ordinary people, stamina, and recovery, not to mention, we can all use superpowers. In other words, we are only superficially human, but in reality we are not human at all. ”
"Cut, a muscular woman is a muscular woman." Vivien suddenly interjected, "Brother, although we don't need to eat to replenish energy, it doesn't mean that we have lost our sense of taste and smell, nor does it mean that we can't eat. In fact, we still retain all kinds of human functions, we can still eat, we still have all kinds of feelings, we can still digest food into energy, and we can still do things with you. ”
"Ahem, ahem." Cheng Yuan touched his nose, when he didn't understand.
"Hehe, my brother is so innocent." Vivien smiled, "Uh-huh, that is, it's okay to eat, it's just that eating is no longer to provide us with energy, it's just to satisfy our tongues." Anyway, she doesn't eat it, I do, I want potato chips, I want a beef burger, and I want a big bottle of Coke! ”
