"Arrived?"

"Where have we been?" I asked.

Ye Dingxi beckoned to me, pointed to the light curtain and said, "Do you remember that I mentioned to you that if we want to find the hell of the trench, we must be an indispensable tool?"

"Guiding the Way?"

I stood beside him, following his movements just now and looked over, and there was a white light in front of me, which was very dazzling, but there seemed to be a girl's cheerful laughter from the other end.

Ye Dingxi nodded, "Since we are here, we will take the guide doll by the way, and then find a way to leave the Exile City." ”

After saying that, he took me and led everyone through the light curtain.

......

"Haha, haha~"

As the laughter grew clearer, we finally stepped out of the blinding light.

Here, above the head, below the head, everywhere is a white expanse, nothing, different from the shops in the various illusions we have seen before, very empty, very empty.

There was only one puppet doll depicted in paint, about half my height, with big eyes, delicate eyebrows, a round boy bun, and a long red ribbon tied to two small balls on the top of her head, fluttering and dancing with her movements.

The clothes on her body are those worn by children in ancient times, with a bright red wide-sleeved placket and a beautiful flower cluster embroidered with gold thread, which is lifelike and brightly colored.

When we walked in, the puppet doll was smiling and running all over the ground, looking at the action, it was like a child fluttering butterflies playing, but because the joints of the limbs were connected by wood, her movements were not flexible and soft than ordinary children, and the joints were inevitably a little stiff when moving.

When she saw us, she stopped, and her large, delicately carved eyes slowly turned, as if to look at us.

"Who are you?"

"Came to find the guide doll. ”

Ye Dingxi replied.

When the puppet doll speaks, its mouth opens and closes, as if it is pulled by two invisible threads, and the amplitude of the jaw can be the same as when ordinary people speak, but the more it is like this, the more strange it feels.

"Where are you looking for?" she asked.

"Trench hell. ”

Ye Dingxi replied directly.

The puppet doll looked at us again, most

After looking at the clouds that were still sleeping soundly on Bai Ze's back, his arm was raised slightly, and his finger came over, "Use him in exchange." ”

"What?!"

I subconsciously stood in front of the clouds, and said with a displeased expression: "We don't change people, we only trade items." ”

After a succession of these shops, I can see that this exile city is said to be a place to do business, but none of the shops are normal! Not to mention that it is getting more and more outrageous, either a female ghost or a child!

The puppet doll blinked her eyes, as if she was frightened by my momentum, and was stunned before she spoke again, "But I want him." ”

Although her face was painted with colored lacquer, she showed an innocent expression at the moment, like a lively and cute little girl, begging her elders for a candy, a delicate doll.

"I can't do it if I want to!"

I frowned, and I was even more wary of the puppet doll.

On the side, Ye Dingxi stepped forward and said, "In addition to this little monk, can we use other things to trade with you?"

"No, you can't. ”

The puppet doll looks innocent and childlike, but its attitude is more indifferent and resolute than that of any previous shopkeeper, as if something that is about to be decided cannot be changed.

This made me even more curious.

"Why does he have to?"

"His body can be exchanged with me. ”

The puppet doll said seriously.

I distinctly felt the clouds behind me tremble slightly, as if I had become unstable in my sleep, and even Bai Ze became agitated, his hooves pacing back and forth in place, and his big eyes like copper bells staring at the puppet doll.

I'm afraid that this doll doesn't know yet, but it is a heaven and earth spirit beast that guards the clouds, and it is not something she can change if she wants to.

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to go to Trench Hell, even if you had gathered all the other tools. At this point, the puppet doll spoke again.

I secretly clenched my fists, subconsciously looked at Ye Dingxi, and asked him if he was as the puppet said, and he nodded quietly.

But even so, it can't be exchanged between clouds!

"I said, except for this kid behind me, if you can say anything else, we can satisfy you as much as possible!"

"Don't. ”

The puppet doll said mercilessly: "I only want him." ”

"Woo~"

I heard the sound rolling out of Bai Ze's throat, this is a precursor to its anger, I used to be in the underworld, but I have not been in front of this spirit beast to ask for hardship, naturally the most familiar.

At this time, the puppet doll suddenly walked towards us, and its eyes blinked as if mechanically, "Is this little monk very important to you?"

"Yes. ”

Ye Dingxi replied in a deep voice.

The puppet doll said again: "Is it more important than going to hell in the trench?"

This......

I could clearly see that after the puppet doll raised this question, Seventeen's expression suddenly panicked, and a faint sadness appeared in those dark eyes, like a fragile and sensitive child, thrown on the crowded street, frightened, uneasy, and insecure.

I don't know why, every time I see such a seventeen, my heart will always be irrepressibly sour, as if it is a backlog of guilt and apology, and it seems to be sympathy for seventeen, the taste is very complicated, I have never really understood this feeling.

Especially after I brought him to the world, and then came to the East China Sea and the Exile City, as long as he showed such a look and eyes, I would always involuntarily pay attention to him, and then become more self-reproachful.

"These are two different things. ”

Ye Dingxi's voice pulled me out of a strange and dull mood, and at that moment, my ears seemed to be clear again.

"Trench hell, we have to go, but not at the expense of this child, if you insist on such trading conditions, then we can only think of other ways. ”

Well!

I nodded at him, at this moment, it is called husband and wife to be together!

The puppet doll looked at him stunned, then at me, his neck slowly turned one by one, and said confidently: "You have no other way than me to show the way." ”

It's like, it's a dead end.

She is telling us that the direction of the hell of the trench is right in front of us, but if we give up now, it will be the end of the previous efforts, and there is no other way.

"I know. Ye Dingxi's face sank, and his voice became extremely cold, "So, I mean, if you don't agree to trade in a way, then I don't mind taking you by other means." ”
