The young shopkeeper's eyes widened, and after carefully examining Amiya for a long time to make sure that it was indeed knitting a sweater, he pinched his thighs and rubbed his eyes vigorously...

In short, it's all kinds of unbelievable.

After he had tried all the means to keep himself awake, he finally stopped, and hurriedly asked Gallo:

"How the hell did you do that?"

"Although this 'Black Reaper' has the most advanced command module at the moment and is loaded with the latest command set, it is far superior to all previous styles of puppets in terms of operability..."

"But the order to knit a sweater, obviously it can't be the original instruction, did you modify the instruction set? Are you some puppeteer who was involved in the development and design? ”

It seems that he understood Amiya's act of knitting a sweater as an order from Gallo.

It's a bit easier to accept than the idea that the puppet knits its own sweater.

Gallo showed a speechless expression, and said angrily:

"That's because it wants to knit sweaters on its own, not my orders!"

"If I'm really a puppet master, I still need to buy your book?"

"It's a little stupid, but it has a real soul, and it's not something you can compare to your toys!"

The young shopkeeper couldn't help but be stunned, with that kind of collapse on his face, and kept muttering:

"Impossible... It's impossible... How is it possible for a puppet to become self-aware? How is it possible to produce a soul? ”

But he immediately realized that his statement was wrong, and quickly changed his words:

"No... This statement is inaccurate, it should be said, how can such a brutal weapon of war produce souls? ”

With that, he crouched down as if no one was around, his fingers kept writing and drawing on the floor, and he muttered a lot of technical terms that others didn't understand.

After a moment, he suddenly raised his head again, and asked Gallo:

"Can I take a closer look at it?"

Gallo didn't mind.

But Amiya minds...

The young man had just gotten a little closer to it, and it stretched out its big hand and pushed it away unceremoniously, anyway, it was a drag, 'Don't beat Lao Tzu!' 'Look.

The young man fell backwards and retreated, and at last he was unsteady on his feet, and fell to the ground.

He didn't feel any pain at all, and then a strange look appeared on his face, and he continued to mutter:

"How so? Such a distance, and the maneuver I used, according to the literature, should not trigger the self-alert mechanism of the RX-78-GP03D at all? ”

"But isn't that right? If I had triggered the alert mechanism just now, I shouldn't have pushed me away so gently, but I should have attacked directly..."

Although this young man was a little crazy when he saw Amiya, he should still have the goods in his stomach, and he was very familiar with the performance of Amiya's puppet.

He knew very well that although the other party's movements were rough, he had actually left his hand, and only used a small amount of force, if he followed the normal strength of the 'Black Death', he was afraid that he would die directly.

"Able to adjust the strength according to the situation on their own... Does it really have a soul? ”

The young man whispered to himself, and quickly got up from the ground, ignoring the embarrassment on his body, and begged Galloyan without dignity:

"Please, let me do one last test!"

"It's just a very simple test, it doesn't take much time, it just needs a little bit of cooperation with me."

Gallo shrugged his shoulders and motioned for him to hurry.

"First of all, can you get it to stop attacking me? I need to get a little closer, but I promise not to get too close and not reach for it..."

"It already knows."

Gallo replied.

The young shopkeeper couldn't help but be slightly startled again...

He didn't see Gallo making any extra moves, nor did he hear him give any commands.

And if this puppet really doesn't attack itself anymore, it means that it can really understand itself! And judge for yourself!

That's pretty telling!

And if it can pass its next test...

The young shopkeeper took his nerve and bravely approached Amiya, closer than before.

This time, Amiya really didn't attack again!

The young shopkeeper's face suddenly showed that look full of surprise.

He hurriedly said hello to Amiya:

"Hi, hello, can we make a little game?"

Amiya didn't pay attention to him, very cold.

But the other party took out a biscuit the size of a dollar and a gold coin from his arms, put them in the palm of his hand, and handed them to Amiya.

"It's a very simple little game..."

"Look, there are two round things here, you can pick the one you prefer..."

"I'll put them in my pocket in a moment, and then, I want you to guess what you like is in that pocket..."

"If you're guessing correctly, I'll give it to you as a gift, how about it?"

Although the rules of the game he formulated sounded simple, it was a very abstract and troublesome puzzle for a soulless puppet.

The first thing they need to know is the difference between gold coins and cookies.

It's easy for humans to tell the difference, but it's a huge problem for puppets, and they don't even know how to tell the difference.

This first step alone was already difficult, and the young man had worked hard in the store for many years, but he had only barely achieved this step, and he still used some relatively mechanical and rigid methods.

And even if you pass the first level, there will be an even more difficult second level later.

Which one is your favorite?

What should you like?

What is Hope?

Each question is as profound and obscure as a philosophical question for the puppet.

Even if he did both of these steps, he would have to get around his tricks and find things out of his pocket...

What is a pocket? What kind of movement should I use to find things, etc.

This set of tests was invented by the young shopkeeper himself, and it had not been revealed to the outside world before, so it was impossible for Gallo to respond and prepare in advance.

All in all, this test may sound simple, but for a puppet, it is tantamount to the ultimate trial.

That would mean that it truly has a soul, a soul like a human!

The young shopkeeper was full of anticipation and uneasiness, and he moved his hand closer.

Amiya put down the sweater pin in her hand, and then waved her hand again, driving away the little milk cat who wanted to take the opportunity to come up and play with the yarn.

Then, it looked down at the biscuits and gold coins in the other's hands.

Then, with a sudden suffrage, it reached out and grabbed his opponent's ankle, lifting him upside down and shaking him violently.

The young shopkeeper couldn't care about testing or not testing anymore, and suddenly let out a scream like a pig:

"Wow, ahh Help me! Help me! ”

Gallo and Misheran hurriedly turned around.

Then they saw that the young shopkeeper had several coins, gold, silver, copper, and so on, and that there were quite a few of them.

In addition to this, pocket watches, bracelets, brooches, key chains and other ornaments have fallen out, and even a few shiny gemstones.

It wasn't until he couldn't fall out of his body anymore that Amiya let go of him, bent down, picked up the gold coins on the ground one by one, and put them in her stomach.

Then, as if nothing had happened, it sat back down and continued knitting the sweater.

Gallo, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but laugh out loud and asked Amiya:

"You're going to have the money on your own? Not to turn it in? ”

Amiya quickly held her hands on her stomach and shook her head.

"Then you can keep it if you like it, but you are a puppet, what's the use of asking for money?"

Gallo quipped.

But the young shopkeeper, who was so dazed, retorted loudly:

"Nonsense! She's not a puppet! She's a real person! ”

After that, he struggled to stand up, but he was dizzy, and could only sit on the ground weakly, and said weakly:

"She... She..."

"You... You... How did you do it... Target? ”

"Hehe, I don't know."

Gallo replied earnestly.

The young shopkeeper slowed down on the ground for a while, and then he managed to get up, and then he ran to Gallo with a quick hand, and as soon as he grasped his hand, he said sincerely:

"Master, take me as a student!"

"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss!"

Gallo hurriedly shook his hand, he didn't know anything about magic puppets, and he even had to spend a lot of time for a few basic books, why should he accept students?

Besides, this kind of guy who hides in the house and plays with dolls is perverted to think about, and if it weren't for those hard-to-buy books, he wouldn't want to deal with him more.

"Master, I'm from the bottom of my heart!"

The young shopkeeper said that he was going to kneel down without regard for his dignity.

Gallo hurriedly helped her and said very seriously:

"I really don't know what a puppet is, the reason why I brought you here is also on impulse, I want to show you what a real puppet with a soul is like..."

"So, do you still think your soulless toys can be sold for 1,000 gold?"

"No, no, no, they're worthless!"

The young shopkeeper shook his head vigorously and said very seriously:

"Master, if you want those books, I'll go back and get them for you!"

"Also, Master, which toy do you like, just ask, I'll give it to you for free!"

"As long as you can give me a few random words, so that I can also get a glimpse of a little bit of the mystery of the soul!"

Gallo was speechless...

I'm a priest, a soul who knows a...

In order not to misunderstand the other party, he plans to have a good chat.

The garden was clearly not a good place to talk, so Gallo took the man back to the church.

But when he walked into the church, he suddenly remembered that he had already changed to a new church, there was no confession room here, and the confession room was separate...

Moreover, Lilian Loe, who was supposed to guard the church and receive guests, would be lying on a bench and falling asleep.

Her petite body curled up in a ball, looking like a cute little beast, although she was well dressed, she deliberately took off her shoes, revealing a pair of small feet wrapped in white stockings.

The huge church was deserted, except for a poor little milk cat guarding the doorway, and whimpering aggrievedly at Gallo.

No wonder Lilian Luo didn't pounce on her when she came back...

No wonder there are only four kittens frolicking around Amiya...

Gallo now knows why.

But now was not the time to worry about this, he wanted the young shopkeeper to sit upright on the bench, and then asked:

"Name, age, place of origin, occupation!"

The other party hurriedly replied:

"My name is Mader, I'm 23 years old and I'm from... Hailing from the remote countryside, he is a puppeteer. ”

"Okay Mader, I have to tell you some truths, and I'll break your unrealistic illusions."

Gallo then tells the other party about his purpose for buying books and puppets, confessing that he actually did it to design an enchantment, and repeatedly emphasizing that he doesn't know anything about puppets.

But the other party seemed to not understand people's words, and said very stubbornly:

"But your puppet has a true soul, doesn't it?"

"Let me join your research! By watching and learning, I may be able to armor a little mystery..."

"Of course, I won't bother with your research, and at the same time, I'm willing to share my knowledge of puppetry with you for free, and my promise is still valid."

"All you need is for me to watch."

Hearing his words, Gallo really didn't have much to say.

He was somewhat moved by the sincerity of the other party, and his impression of him changed a lot.

It seems that this guy really wants the puppet to have a soul, not to sell his own toys.

And the other party has promised to give him something, and he said this in front of the goddess in the church, which constitutes an act of worship, and he has no way to refuse.

Gallo weighed left and right, but nodded.

Madder jumped up for joy, happy as a child.

The two of them plan to go back to the puppet shop and get back the books and a puppet.

Mithelan stayed behind and helped Gallo guard the church.

It's to ask a bishop from another denomination to help look at the church, but there's no way to do it, what if someone comes to the door? There's always a talking creature in the church, right?

I can only blame Lillian Ann Luo for being so unreliable...

On the way back to the puppet shop in the carriage, Gallo suddenly remembered a detail and asked:

"Are there any puppets in your store that are petite?"

Anyway, the puppet is taken back for the test, not for play, since it is an experiment, it must be moved around, so it is naturally better to choose a petite one, which is convenient to use.

Ma De suddenly showed a smile of understanding and said:

"So hello master..."

"However, the styles in my store are only for older women, do you think I want to order one that meets the requirements?"

"No, no, no, no, no."

Gallo waved his hand.

I always feel that this guy is wrong somewhat...
