Chapter 54: The Puppet

When the strange puppet heard Barry's words, instead of continuing to pretend to be a stiff dead puppet, it slowly stood up.

After all, he has been in this world for a long time, if it weren't for being a puppet and not having the same passionate emotions as humans, otherwise maybe this long loneliness would have crushed him.

Now suddenly a person came over, and although the way he entered the house was rude, and even made him a little annoyed, at least someone could talk to him.

As for the rest, let's talk about it later!

Slowly moving twice, as if feeling his same wooden limbs, he spoke to Barry.

"Hello, stranger, you should be the first human I've seen here."

It's very peculiar, although this puppet doesn't have a mouth, but it makes a sound, a real sound, it's not a simple spiritual communication, and I don't know what the principle is.

Hearing the puppet's answer, Barry's eyes lit up, there was no direct fighting, and he could still communicate.

"I'm going to try to talk to him a little bit more and see if I can get any information."

So Barry asked in a sincere tone of honesty as he looked at the puppet, with a sunny smile on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Puppet, my name is Barry, I don't know what to call you?"

Hearing Barry ask for his name, the puppet seemed to be lost in thought, and replied a little later.

"Name? I remember my previous owner calling me Little Toby, and that's what you call me. ”

As Toby pondered, Barry's system panel tested him again, this time differently than the first.

Transcendent Creature (Strange Thing): [Toby]

Class: Dream Manipulator

Title: [None]

Strength: [1.1], Dexterity: [0.9], Constitution: [1.8], Spirit: [2.9]

Skill: [Manipulating Dreams] You can accurately manipulate other people's dreams, thus affecting the other person's state.

【Dream Divination】Communicate with the ubiquitous nightmare world, and offer certain sacrifices to seek answers from the nightmare world.

[Virtual-Reality Transformation] briefly transforms the dream and reality, and everything in the dream will appear in reality.

Passive: [Strange Life] can transform between living and non-living forms, the life form can fight or live, and the soul returns to the nightmare realm in the non-living form and can be revived in other puppets.

(An ordinary puppet, a strange opportunity, created this strange life form)

Barry looked at the results, which were identification panels like Huck and Basilisk, representing him as a separate transcendent lifeform.

And looking at the attributes of this puppet, Barry suddenly thought of the characters in the two horror movies he had watched, the terrifying evil spirit Freddy of Elm Street, and the puppet of Mary Shaw.

This Toby's form, combined with his skills, is simply a perfect combination of these two characters!

However, Toby is different from the ferocity of those two, and his performance just now is not aggressive, and he is a kind puppet on the side of order.

Hearing Toby's answer, Barry refocused his mind and planned to have a good chat with Toby.

"I don't know how long you've been in this world, Toby, can you tell me about this world?"

Toby replied to Barry when he heard Barry's question and scratched the wooden skull with his hand.

"I don't know how long I've been here, it's such a strange world, it's not like this world has a normal cycle of day and night."

Toby scratched his head again, then continued.

"Although I come from this world, I really have a soul, and the real me was born from this world, and this world has given me some knowledge."

Hearing Toby say that he had knowledge about this, Barry couldn't help but be excited, and hurriedly asked, "Can you tell me more about the specific situation of this world?" ”

"I came to this world suddenly in my sleep, and I wanted to know how to go back."

Feeling Barry's anxious mood, Toby didn't hide it and told the information he knew.

"This world is called the Nightmare Realm, and it is a world where the real and the unreal coexist, and everything can be transformed between the virtual and the real."

"There are also all kinds of strange creatures in this world, some like me, who have souls by chance."

"Some are native beings, and they live and multiply just like the life of this world. When this creature dies, its body returns to the Nightmare Realm and quickly dissipates. ”

Hearing Toby talk about the creature, Barry thought of the nightmare little monster he had just come across, and when he died, he had turned to ashes and vanished.

Before Barry could continue to think, Toby spoke again.

"The third type of monster is the embodiment of desire, corresponding to the desires of living beings in this world, most of them are brutal and crazy, very terrifying."

"This kind of monster, the little monster is the desire to correspond to one or several living beings, although it is powerful, but it can also be dealt with. The most terrifying are those monsters formed by the collection of countless living desires, and they can be called evil gods. ”

Speaking of the word "evil god", even with the emotionally cold soul of a puppet, the words spoken have a slight trill.

Hearing that Toby didn't want to talk about evil gods, Barry directly diverted the topic and asked for other information about the Nightmare Realm.

"The Nightmare Realm is weird, like this house you see."

"This was the house where my master and I lived, but when we came into this world, it appeared in an open field."

"Later, when the owner went out on an adventure, he should have died, and the location of the house gradually changed, and finally integrated into this residential building."

"When I first arrived, the building was only three floors, and then it gradually became what it is now."

Barry was shocked to hear Toby say this, although the location of the room changed strangely, but even stranger was that he heard Toby say about his master's death.

"Why do you clean this house and keep watch here when you know your master may be gone?"

Barry couldn't help it, so he asked Toby.

"If you're not here, where can you go, at least there are memories of me and her here, maybe I can wait until she is reincarnated to come and pick me up again."

"My master, she is also a spellcaster, although she is not particularly powerful, but she is proficient in soul spells, I have a hunch that her master has not completely fallen, and she will come back."

"Although she will lose the memories of me after reincarnation, I will always be with her and let her remember it again."

Hearing Toby so infatuated, although Barry was indifferent, he was also moved by his oath.

"Since you're sure she's still alive, why don't you take the initiative to find her, so you can meet her faster."

Hearing Barry say this, Toby also said his difficulties, not that he didn't want to, but that there were too many restrictions.

"Although I have some strength, I will soon die if I wander through this nightmare realm, and my master was much stronger than me at that time, but I still never came back after an exploration."

"The most important thing is that I was born in the Nightmare Realm, and I am considered a native of the Nightmare Realm, and I can't leave the Nightmare Realm without external forces."

When Toby's difficulty was finished, Barry smiled, and then persuaded Toby.

"External force, I am the external force, since I want to go home, you also want to go to this world to find the master, why don't we cooperate and find a way out of the nightmare world together."

With that, Barry stared at Toby with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.
