Chapter 228: A Good Puppet Prototype
Staring at the puppet of the woman in the white dress who approached for a moment, Shen Xing saw that the woman was also wearing a pair of high heels, and the heels behind her were not low.
Just like that, when I approached me just now, I didn't make a sound, I'm afraid I won't be able to wear high heels for a few years!
He stared at the female puppet for so long, but the other party didn't move at all, as if someone had just moved over and not her approaching.
Shen Xing groaned slightly, hugged the woman, and tried the weight, only about twenty catties.
He then placed the woman in the white dress close to the wall, making her face the wall.
In the process, I can feel that the material of this woman's puppet is hard and a little awkward, but there is no sense of movement.
After putting the woman puppet away, Shen Xing once again set his eyes in the direction of the suspected Guan Zhixiong puppet.
Approach the front of the man's puppet, place the photo on his phone parallel to it, and compare it carefully. I couldn't see it clearly in the dark just now, but now the consequences are exactly the same.
Shen Xing didn't expect that he was going to investigate the clues and information about Guan Zhixiong by the way, but he didn't know that he would see Guan Zhixiong's same puppet? !
He suddenly chuckled in his heart, reached out and touched the Guan Zhixiong puppet, and then pinched it hard, but it couldn't move, as if it was made of the same material as the puppet of the woman in the white dress.
"It can't be infused with real people, right?"
Faced with this puppet that was about the same height and exactly as a real person, he suddenly felt a creepy feeling when he raised this thought.
Put the mobile phone on the wooden table next to it, hold the waist position of Guan Zhixiong's puppet with both hands, twist it hard, click, and the buckle between the waist joint and the butt here is detached.
Shen Xing slowly lifted his upper body, the weight was lighter, not like a real person being poured, and then looked at the position of the waist detachment, revealing a plastic aura, and you could also see the raised buckle, proving that this was indeed a dummy, not a real person's corpse.
It's just not clear why this guy's appearance was made to look like a puppet, is there any sales for doing so? Who would pay for a middle-aged greasy man they don't know?
Put the upper body of Guan Zhixiong's puppet back on the buckle above the buttocks, and after the two were stuck together, Shen Xing let go of his hand, patted it gently, and then picked up the mobile phone that was placed on the table.
At this moment, he felt a chill behind him again, and immediately turned around quickly, and what caught his eyes was a female puppet in a white dress close at hand.
This time, the female puppet not only got closer than just now, but even her body had leaned forward slightly, and her head was only a slap away from Shen Xing.
Shen Xing subconsciously leaned back, making himself move away from the woman, but after looking closely, he found that the woman didn't actually move, but just maintained this posture.
The atmosphere in the entire workshop was extremely weird, all the puppets actually didn't move at the moment, keeping still, and Shen Xing also maintained the movement of leaning back.
After a while, he stretched out his hand and touched the waist of the woman in the white dress, which was hard, just like the Guan Zhixiong puppet in the back.
Then he tried to twist the woman's waist slightly, and the same click was made, indicating that the connecting buckle had been unscrewed, and the upper and lower parts of the woman's body could also be removed.
Without saying a word, Shen Xing immediately took off her upper body, put it on the table, and looked at Guan Zhixiong's puppet standing not far away.
Now that his goal is next door, there is no need to make too much noise here, it is best not to conflict with this moving woman puppet, otherwise it will alarm the next door, and it may not be necessary that Motu may leave.
Now split the woman puppet in half, lest she interfere with herself again.
After doing this, Shen Xing glanced at the Guan Zhixiong puppet, and now there seemed to be nothing abnormal in this room except for the strange movement of the puppet of the woman in the white dress.
He came to the small door leading to the next door again, took out the master magic key, and slowly inserted it into the keyhole, and from the crack in the door, he could see that there was a light coming out from there, so Shen Xing opened it very slowly, so as not to make a sound.
Thankfully, there was a rhythmic mechanical sound coming from there, perfectly masking some of the uncontrollable sounds that might be coming from here.
But just as he opened the door with his heart, there was a faint rustling sound behind him.
Shen Xing immediately stopped the movements in his hand, looked back, and then his pupils shrank.
For he saw that the half of the female puppet that he had placed on the table in the middle of the room had now turned his head, and his head was raised, looking in the direction he was.
Shen Xing didn't say anything else, just stared at her, and this half of the woman's body also seemed to be dead, without moving.
"This guy doesn't move when people are staring at her, and when he doesn't look at her, he will immediately come close to me."
Shen Xing probably understood the movement law of the woman puppet in the white dress.
He turned around and continued to open the door with his heart, inserting all the master keys into the lock hole, and then pressed the button that stretched the thin strip on the surface of the key.
At this time, the sound of rustling behind him seemed to sound again, and Shen Xing didn't have time to pay attention to it for the time being.
He quickly sensed that the key was perfectly pressed against all the gaps in the lock hole, and with a slight twist, it was already ready to rotate.
The sound behind him was approaching, and the frequency seemed to increase even more.
Shen Xing turned around again, and saw that the body of the half-female puppet was no longer on the table, but came to the ground next to the table legs, prostrate on the ground, motionless.
But at this moment, the woman's head was still up, the plexiglass eyes were staring at her, and her lips were slightly open, if she didn't know in advance that it was a puppet, just seeing the scene of the woman's half-cut body would scare people half to death.
He gave the motionless woman a deep look, and after a moment, he turned back again, pushed the door in front of him that had been unscrewed open a crack, and put the master key in his pocket.
The sound of crawling behind him came again at this time.
Because there was still a distance of about two or three meters, Shen Xing didn't have time to pay attention for the time being, he looked intently at the next room through the crack in the door that he pushed open.
In the line of sight, I saw that in the middle of the workshop next door, an old machine was operating, an arm-thick mechanical top was pressing down rhythmically from above, and in the middle of the top and bottom pressing, there was a ball of invisible material, bearing a strong squeeze.
In front of this machine, with his back to Shen Xing, sat a slightly rickety voice, with short silver hair and a beard on his face, facing the machine and not knowing what he was doing.
And the furnishings of the workshop next door are very different from Shen Xing's side, there are only two complete humanoid puppets here, and the rest are all materials for making puppets, and there are no puppets that are only half-made, or broken arms and feet.
Other than that, the workshop was brightly lit, and there was no sound other than the sound of the machinery.
The sound of crawling behind Shen Xing was getting closer and closer at this time, and he pushed the small door open again, and the light next door spilled into the workshop here, and he looked back.
I saw that the half-body female puppet was less than an arm's length away from him, and she was desperately tilting her head, and her plexiglass eyes were round, as if they were about to slip out of their sockets.
Shen Xing was slightly stunned, he no longer stayed in this room, but immediately opened the small door a little wider, and prepared to enter.
The sound of rustling behind him suddenly began to speed up at this moment, and Shen Xing looked back and found that the half-body female puppet had already stretched out her hand and grabbed it.
And at the moment when he looked back at the past, the action of this capture was slightly stagnant, but it quickly broke through the state of condensation, even if he was stared at by Shen Xing, he wanted to grab Shen Xing's ankle very quickly.
In the next second, Shen Xing entered the next room and closed the door directly.
With a soft snap, the woman's puppet's nails touched the door, but at the same moment as the door was closed, there was a dead silence in the workshop.
The half-cut female puppet maintained the movement of reaching out and grabbing it out, motionless, and froze.
Shen Xing divided half of his attention behind him, and after finding that there was no movement coming from the next door, he put all his attention on this room, on the silver-haired old man with his back to him.
When the private detective Lao Liang sent a photo of Guan Zhixiong, he also sent a photo of Motu to Shen Xing.
The person in the photo is very similar to the back of the person in front of him at this moment, and Shen Xing guesses that this person is Mo Tu.
Although Mo Tu is a master of fine carving and has made a lot of money, he usually dresses plainly, and his face in the photo is also very ordinary, so he can't see that this person is blessed with the identity of the master.
Shen Xing was already prepared for this.
When he opened the door and came in just now, although there was some noise, it was not as loud as the sound made by the pressurized machinery, and it was completely muffled by the sound, so at this moment Motu was still facing away from him, still concentrating on something.
Shen Xing didn't make any further movements, but inspected the surrounding situation.
When he looked closely at the two complete puppets in the room, he was slightly stunned, and found that one of the male puppets turned out to be Guan Zhixiong's appearance again.
It seems that this puppet is no different from Guan Zhixiong in the next room, even the clothes are exactly the same.
In this way, Shen Xing felt that Guan Zhixiong was not as simple as Mo Tu's customer, and the two may have a close relationship, which caused Xia Hongyu to be yin by the other party when purchasing dummies.
Now it seems that all the answers are in this workshop.
Shen Xing didn't plan to hide anymore, he first glanced at the direction of the small door, and after being sure that the half-body female puppet behind the door would not catch up, he cleared his throat and then spoke softly.
"Motu, I'm sorry to visit you this way."
When the words fell, he originally thought that the other party would be taken aback and put down the work in his hand.
The silver-haired old man just raised his head silently, looked at himself, glanced at him, and lowered his head again.
Not only did he not look nervous or surprised, but he didn't even answer.
"You, aren't you?" Shen Xing was a little puzzled.
"Of course." The old man said three words without raising his head.
Shen Xing noticed that he was putting filament-like things into the squeezed groove, and his movements were very skillful.
And as he released more and more, a large clump of squeezed irregularities was forming.
"Aren't you surprised or curious about the sudden arrival of an uninvited guest in the house?" Shen Xing asked.
A smile appeared on Motu's face, the wrinkles on his face piling up, and the few whiskers that were squeezing up.
"Isn't it common for me to be a puppeteer, like there's an extra person in the house?"
As he spoke, he looked at the two complete puppets in the corner of the room.
"Looks like you're pretty sure about me." Shen Xing also laughed, "It's the first time I know that in addition to being able to make puppets, Master Mo is also a good hand at manipulating puppets. ”
While saying this, Shen Xing kept paying attention to Mo Tu's facial expressions, but he found that the other party was always unfazed, and his expression did not change at all.
Mo Tu put down the work in his hand at this time, looked at Shen Xing, and said, "I don't control them, if you see a puppet suddenly move, it is their own behavior, and it has nothing to do with me Mo Tu." ”
"So these moving puppets are already under your control?" Shen Xing continued: "You have no fear of my arrival, and perhaps you rely on the two puppets in this house now. ”
Motu smiled, his eyes scanned the two wooden bodies, shook his head and said, "I don't know if they can move, I just said it, it's all their own volition, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
Shen Xing probably guessed that even the puppets made by Motu himself were only some that could move independently, and some couldn't, which couldn't be generalized.
"Whether they can move on their own, I don't care." Shen Xing said: "I only care if you secretly took the order and were entrusted by someone to mail a puppet that can move and even kill." ”
Mo Tu still kept smiling, as if he knew that Shen Xing had such a question, he didn't answer immediately, but stood up, turned off the machine that was being squeezed, and then took out the irregular object that had been pressed from the machine and stepped aside.
At this time, Shen Xing finally saw clearly what the irregular object was, it was something formed by the squeezing of a mass of hair, and those hairs were the ones that Motu had thrown into the machine one by one just now.
If you look closely, it looks a bit like dog hair, or maybe it's ...... Cat hair!
Mo Tu came to Guan Zhixiong's puppet, unscrewed off his upper body, just like Shen Xing did at the beginning, and then reversed the body, and stuffed the irregular object formed by the squeezing of the hair into the upper body of Guan Zhixiong's puppet.
He then reconnected the body to the lower half of his body.
While doing this, Motu whispered, "There is. But I've taken so many orders, I don't know which one you're talking about. ”
Shen Xing stretched out two fingers: "Unfortunately, including me and a friend of mine, we received two puppets, and they were both able to move, and they all wanted to kill us without exception." ”
After the words fell, he added: "Now that I can find here, it is impossible to leave without achieving the goal." It's up to you to tell me if you want to collect the money, or I'll just use my own means to let you tell me. ”
If Mo Tu just asked for money, Shen Xing could contact Xia Hongyu and she would pay for it, which would be neither troublesome nor easy to solve.
But if Motu doesn't take money and adheres to the principle of keeping it secret for his employer, then Shen Xing can only use some special means to get this old guy to tell him.
These words have been made very clear, and I believe that it is impossible for Motu not to understand.
I saw the old man slowly turn around, look at himself, and smile and say, "You are a very good puppet prototype." ”
Before the words fell, the lights in the workshop were instantly extinguished, and a thick darkness enveloped it, engulfing the two puppets in the room in an instant.
