Interlude

Walking out of the space tunnel, Moon and Alice are in front of a small town similar to 18th century Europe, with strange architectural styles and blond people who attract Alice's attention all the time.

Yue smiled and said, "Sit down, let's go in and have a look." Saying that, Yue uncomfortably stretched out a hand to help fix Alice, who was sitting on her shoulder, and walked into the town with her feet raised.

The size of the town is not small, and there are a variety of goods in it, among which Alice is most attracted by the various snacks.

"Father Sama (adult), Alice wants to eat that."

Afraid that Yue would not agree, the little guy grabbed Yue's hair and sprinkled coquettishly, of course, the action was very small and did not attract people's attention, Alice didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

At this time, it was the middle of the 18th century, and the trend of making dolls was gradually reaching its peak, and many people on the street recognized Alice's identity. There were even some people who wanted to pay for Alice, but they were all rejected by Yue.

The smile on Yue's face remained unchanged, and she gently patted her little hand grabbing her hair and nodded, agreeing to Alice's request.

As soon as she got the things and turned around, Alice immediately ran off Tsuki's shoulder while Tsuki was not paying attention, snatched the things in Tsuki's hand, hid in Tsuki's clothes and began to eat, leaving only strands of cherry-colored hair leaking outside.

"My clothes..."

Yue shook her head with a wry smile on her face, but she didn't say anything, she touched Alice's little head hidden in her clothes lovingly, and continued to walk forward.

Slowly, Tsuki and Alice walked out of town and into the suburbs.

"Hahaha..."

Instead of pretending to be an ordinary doll, Alice seems to be happy, constantly flying around the moon, occasionally trying to catch small insects such as butterflies.

Yue is not tired of cooperating with Alice, trying to make her have fun.

On the grass, the moon lies lazily on the soft grass and basks in the sun, the fragrance of the grass mixed with the smell of the earth penetrates into the nostrils of the moon from time to time, it is really a good place to relax.

Not far from the moon, Alice was happily picking the unknown wildflowers, not knowing what she was doing.

On the other side of the meadow, Luo Zhen, who was just 14 years old this year, walked into the grass in a depressed mood, and just now he was criticized by his philosophy teacher.

sighed helplessly in his heart, this year's 14-year-old Luo Zhen's family asked him to study philosophy, which was indeed a very good way out from the perspective of the social situation at that time, because he understood the hard work of his family, so Luo Zhen was powerless to refute his family's decision and could only reluctantly go to study philosophy, but who knew that it was indeed the profession of puppeteer that really interested him Luo Zhen.

Watching beautiful and real puppets born from the hands of puppeteers, Luo Zhenzhen felt that puppeteers were a magical profession.

Therefore, Luo Zhen read a lot of books about dolls behind his family, and also learned some basic knowledge of making dolls, but it is limited to basic knowledge, and some important production processes and processes can only be learned by becoming someone else's apprentice.

Lying on the soft grass, Luo Zhen looked at the sky in a daze, his eyes revealing a trace of confusion and uncertainty, and he shook his head and sighed after a long time.

"Oh~~ Let's go back"

Standing up and slapping off the grass clippings that stuck to his body, Luo Zhen, who was just about to turn around and leave, suddenly heard a hint of laughter like a silver bell coming to his ears.

'Strange? It's a remote place, and basically no one will come except for myself, but I didn't expect this meadow to welcome guests other than myself today.

Under the trend of curiosity, Xiao Luo Zhen slowly walked towards the source of the sound.

Walking and walking, a small dirt slope appeared in front of Luo Zhen, the soil slope was not high, but it was very steep, and it just blocked Luo Zhen's vision, frowned, looked around, this dirt slope seemed to be a dividing line, dividing the grass into two parts, up and down, since the idea of detouring did not work, then Xiao Luo Zhen planned to climb up directly, stretched out a handful of grass, and climbed up the dirt slope with ease.

When he stood up and was about to slap the dirt off his body, Xiao Luo Zhen was suddenly stunned, because he saw a picture that almost changed his life.

A little girl in a white gothic loli costume ran towards a man lying on the grass with a wreath of wildflowers in her hand.

Although he couldn't hear what the little girl was saying, Luo Zhen could see the little girl's smile, which was the purest and cleanest smile from his heart, and Luo Zhen was almost addicted to it, but the last trace of reason that survived made him see the problem.

Wait, something seems wrong, that little girl seems to be ...... It seems like! ......' Xiao Luo Zhen, who was born with a keen sense of dolls and them, quickly noticed that something was wrong and tried to swallow and foam, Xiao Luo Zhen was shocked by his conjecture and even scared!

"It's a puppet."

As soon as this sentence came out, Xiao Luo Zhen immediately covered his mouth and paused, because as soon as he finished saying this, he saw the man look at him, although it was a little vague, but Luo Zhen was sure that the man must have seen himself!!

Alice put the wreath she had woven on Tsuki's head, and then nodded with satisfaction before talking about Xiao Luo.

"Father Sama (adult), there's a little ghost there." Alice had already discovered that Xiao Luo really existed, but she didn't say it because she saw that the other party was harmless.

Hearing Alice say this, Yue suddenly felt an indescribable sense of disobedience, of course, this is not important to us.

Xiao Luo really knew from the beginning of the month, but the month was not pointed out.

"It's okay, ignore him."

Moon stroked Alice's long hair and said as she brought the wreath on her head to Alice's head, but the wreath was too big to pass through Alice's little head and fall directly onto her shoulder.

Alice tried hard to get the wreath off her neck, but she accidentally hooked her hair, and it became more and more messy.

Yue smiled, smiled very happily and carefully helped Alice remove the garland around her neck, and looked at the angry Alice Yue carefully comforted.

It's just that Alice didn't notice that there was a trace of reluctance hidden behind the smile on Yue's face.

When Xiao Luo Zhen reacted and wanted to come forward to talk, he found that the person was long gone, and only a wreath was left on the ground, thinking that Xiao Luo Zhen told that everything just now was not a dream.

Picking up the garland on the ground, the confusion in Xiao Luo Zhen's eyes was gone, replaced by firm faith.

After returning home, Xiao Luo Zhen resolutely chose to become a puppeteer despite the opposition of his family and began his life journey.

The dividing line of β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” time β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” one

Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and in the past twenty years, Xiao Luo Zhen has become a well-known puppeteer through his own efforts and his own talent.

And some of the boutiques are being snapped up by the royal family or wealthy families.

However, while everyone is praising the puppeteer, the middle-aged puppeteer is drowning in his troubles.

"Huh~β€”β€”β€”"

Put the freshly made life-like puppet in your hand on the shelf, and you don't see the joy of success in your eyes, but you fall into madness with your hands wrapped your head!

"Why! Why!! Why?!! ”

The venting was only short-lived, Luo Zhen lit his pipe and smoked slowly, his slightly blank eyes slowly put on the shelf where he had placed the puppet just now.

In addition to the newborn dolls, there are also her six older sisters on the shelf, each of whom has a vivid image and expression* that is really comparable to a real person.

Looking at the work that was almost his highest level, Luo Zhen didn't have the slightest joy, his mind went back to that afternoon 20 years ago, the doll he met in that meadow, the real perfect doll!!

Although 20 years have passed, Luo Zhen still remembers it vividly.

That's his goal, a goal he's been pursuing for 20 years but hasn't been able to reach.

"Alas~" sighed, Luo Zhen walked out of his studio a little distracted, and didn't even notice that the carving knife on the table had been touched.

The next day, Luo Zhen placed the seven dolls he had made by the window near the street in the shop, and at the same time marked them as not for sale, and then went into the room to do his work.

Soon a strangely dressed man came to the town, and this person was naturally Yue.

And the little guy who hides in the moon's arms and shows two small eyes from time to time to look around is naturally Alice.

In the past twenty years, Moon has been playing with Alice, yes, from Europe to Asia to South America, almost halfway to turn the planet.

And today, the little girl somehow suddenly wanted to come to the original town to visit, and the moon already knew what was going to happen next, and although she was a little reluctant, she still rushed back with Alice.

Alice looked around with a small head in high spirits, twenty years was enough time to change too many things.

Alice, who was slowly and enthusiastic, saw a puppet shop out of the corner of her eye, and immediately asked Yue to go over to take a look, but Yue didn't say anything but walked slowly towards the doll.

As soon as she arrived at the front of the store, Alice saw seven dolls of different shapes, and the excited look on her face disappeared as if she had been struck by lightning.

Slowly flew out of the moon's clothes, and quietly stared at the seven dolls on the other side of the glass with both hands against the glass, and stood motionless for a whole day!!

Moon stood with Alice for a whole day, during which many people cast strange glances at the moon, but they were all ignored by the moon, and the reluctance in the moon's eyes became more and more obvious as time went by.

Eventually, it was late at night, and Alice finally moved.

"Father Sama (adult)"

One sentence made Yue rein in his mind. "What's wrong?"

"I see." Saying that, Alice laughed, she understood, after standing for a day, she finally understood why she came to this world, and she wanted to come to this town today, she understood everything, Yue looked at Alice's smile and felt a little sour in her heart, and slowly hugged Alice's petite body.

"Well, if you don't want to, then we don't..."

This is a true outpouring of feelings, if Alice didn't want to, Yue would never do that, but Yue's words were interrupted by Alice before she could finish speaking.

"Father, Alice believes in you."

Saying that, Alice playfully kissed Yue's face, "Father, you won't let Alice die like this, huh?" Is that right?? ”

Alice's words, coupled with a playful performance, immediately washed away the sad atmosphere just now.

Yue couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, believe Dad." ”

"Yes," Alice nodded affirmatively.

Yue stood up and looked at the seven dolls in the window, and from the sign next to them, you could see that their names were from left to right: Mercury Lamp, Canary, Emerald Star Stone, Blue Star Stone, True Red, Chick Berry, and Rose Crystal.

Each of the dolls is very good, and you can see that their makers have put a lot of effort into them.

Tsuki's purpose is also very simple, to divide Alice's cultivated gem (Madonna of Rose) among the seven dolls and give them the right to live.

Originally, Alice would have died without the Virgin of the Rose, but Yue decided to deduct some of the Virgin of the Rose that had been distributed to the seven dolls and give it to Alice to ensure Alice's life.

However, this amount needs to be paid attention to, not too much and not too little, what the seven puppets will do in the future is closely related to how much they have now obtained the Virgin of the Rose, so this amount must be grasped.

"Are you ready?"

Alice nodded nervously.

Moon put her hand on Alice's chest, and soon a glowing gem was pulled out of Alice's chest by Tsuki, and Alice fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at the Rose in his hand, the Virgin Moon did not delay any longer, and immediately began to divide it.

With a cup of tea, the moon finally made everything, and the rose crystals of the seven rose girls flew into their bodies, and Alice's rose crystals were significantly smaller than theirs, and even Alice's recent life operation could not be guaranteed.

As a last resort, she had to add other gems that matched the attributes of the rose crystal to the rose crystal, but even then Alice still didn't wake up.

After all, the rose crystal is something that Alice has been wearing for decades, and it will take a while to add new gems even if they have the same attributes.

"Alas~~" sighed lightly, looking at Alice's sleeping face, Yue carefully put her into the original box, and then set the coordinates to teleport her.

His surroundings are not suitable for cultivation, and there are many more things that can be given to Alice than his own Naye, whether it is spiritual or material.

On this basis, it just so happens that Alice has been thinking a little about Naye recently, and the moon simply took this opportunity to send her over, although she was reluctant, but this is also for Alice's good, and Naye's side is indeed more suitable for Alice.

Sending Alice away sighed lightly, turned to look at the dolls behind her who were familiar with their bodies, and suddenly felt that she was very tired.

It's not physical tiredness, but mental tiredness, mental tiredness.

Reached out and touched his chest, 'How long has it been since I felt this way?' It's really nostalgic. 'On second thought, it's time to take a break, too. I don't know why this idea is getting stronger and stronger, and in the last month, I decided to pay attention to myself and said, "If you want to go west (good), then give yourself a vacation to rest and rest." ”

In fact, at this time, the author is very tempted to say: When have you been busy, bastard! , but the author I didn't say, of course, that's not the point.

In the name of vacation, the last moon sealed his memories and power and smashed headlong into reincarnation......

End of β€”β€”β€” interludeβ€”β€”β€”
