Chapter 318: Soul Puppet
Until he sat in front of the spacious garden terrace, Yu Qian still couldn't fully adapt to the strange structure of the Moon Castle. Although there are solid and fine jade bricks under his feet, the thought of the giant castle he is in at this moment is in the sky. A slight sense of uneasiness lingers in my heart.
Maybe it's because this world is not something that humans can set foot in the first place, and since entering here, Yu Qian hasn't put down his hanging heart for a moment. What he saw, heard, and felt in the world of Mirror Moon, whether it was a fierce monster or a funny puppet, made him feel uncontrollable discomfort.
Sixteen unicorns whipped heavy crystal carriages and galloped through the castle, swiftly and smoothly sending the three of them through the corridor in mid-air into the castle facing east. When the carriage galloped on the promenade, Yu Qian couldn't help but feel like he was soaring in the clouds. Guided by the welcome dolls, the duo came to the central protrusion of the castle.
This is a terrace adorned with a fountain of flowers, with an intricately shaped round table and three high-backed ivory inscribed chairs in the center. The Witch of the Moon was persuaded by the butler to change her clothes, while Yuqian and Ren Yuan sat down here and waited. The silver dining cart of the agate wheel brought snacks and drinks, just remembering that everything in this world was derived from the life of the Moon Lord, and seeing the black tea poured out of the enamel bone china teapot like a living thing, Yu Qian lost his appetite even more.
Fortunately, most of the puppets in charge of hospitality in the castle have elegant and solemn faces. Unlike the exaggerated smiles on the outside, it made him feel a little better. The terrace in this sea of flowers does not have the endless hustle and bustle of the carnival below, only flocks of birds flying through the air, sprinkling a string of melodious chirping.
After a short time, the freshened moonlight witch stepped into the courtyard under the arch guard of the two teams of soldier dolls. The fluffy silver hair was combed smoothly and smoothly, and from a distance it looked like a silver mirror, and it was held in the crook of the arm by the big pendulum clock behind him. The delicate and ornate crown pressed against the full forehead, and he wore a long cream-colored dress that covered the floor, and two bare arms that were so white that they were blinding. Narrow plain leather boots wrapped around the art-like feet, looming under the skirt with the girl's light steps.
At this moment, the girl is no longer the unkempt and delicate look when she first met, and her gestures exude the majesty of the real superior. It can be seen immediately that she is the protagonist of this grand ceremony, the pride of this world, and the undoubted master of this world.
Just now, because he was wearing loose pajamas, he was held in Ren Yuan's arms and looked unreal. At this moment, Yu Qian discovered that this moonlight witch who called herself "Huahua", although her face looked like an innocent child in her teens. But her figure is tall and does not belong to her peers, and the tight dress with a corset waist shows her upper body is even more concave. The twin peaks, which were already quite large, were not to be outdone, and they squeezed out of the neckline, and the full white greasy shook so that Yu Qian didn't dare to look at it directly.
The Moonlight Witch came to the round table and sat down on the throne with her skirt lifted. A blanket flew behind her, catching the stunning silver hair. After sitting down, the girl's beautiful eyes looked left and right at the two of them, as if she was very curious about them. Seeing that Ren Yuan was just focusing on eliminating the pastry, he couldn't help but ask out loud first
"Uncle Ren, you haven't come to see Huahua for a long time."
"Well, something happened." Ren Yuan swallowed a mouthful of pastry hard, "I was caught by the hunters, and I couldn't get out at the bottom of the sea." ”
"Really? Huahua thought that it was because Dad destroyed the entrance to the sacred well, so you couldn't get in. The Moonlight Witch said with a smile
"Ahh Uh..."Ren Yuan frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know that the well outside has been filled in?" ”
"Yes."
"Didn't your dad tell you why he filled that well?" Ren Yuan asked
"Got it." The girl said solemnly, "Dad said that you are a bad person, and you will definitely have a good idea after he is gone, so he destroyed the well." ”
"Ahh ”
"How can you not believe it? Daddy never lied to Flowey. The Moonlight Witch said firmly, "It's Uncle Ren, you, who always tell lies." ”
The scene suddenly became awkward, and Yu Qian subconsciously pinched the teacup in front of him that he didn't intend to touch. looked at the tin leather soldiers around him, and estimated how sure he was that he would save his life if the witch in front of him suddenly turned his face and gave an order. He no longer had any expectations for Ren Yuan, and now he deeply understood why countless people, including himself, had repeatedly warned him not to trust Yiren. All the things that happened here today are outrageous, and Ren Yuan is demonstrating what it means to slap his face repeatedly.
"Huahua, you have to say that, uncle, but you are going to be angry." Ren Yuan pretended to be unhappy and said, "Think about it, who brought you real happiness when you were the loneliest?" Besides, when did your uncle lie to you? ”
"And you said you didn't lie to me?" The Moonlight Witch pursed her mouth, "Before you left last time, you promised me that you would come back often to see Huahua, and that you would bring more novelties to Huahua." The result? It took so long to come empty-handed. ”
"Ahem, it's not because that well was sealed by your father."
"You just said it was because you were caught by hunters."
"Let's not talk about this yet..."Ren Yuan hurriedly diverted the topic, "I didn't come empty-handed, I promised to bring you something new, and I will definitely bring it to you." Uncle, I never break my word. ”
"Really, really? Where is it? "In the end, it is the nature of a child, and when I heard that there was something new, I immediately became excited and urged one after another.
"Hey, isn't that what that is?" Ren Yuan pointed to Yu Qian next to him, and regardless of the latter's stunned expression, he said confidently, "Living humans, haven't you seen it?" It's different from what you've seen through the well before..."
"Ah, what should I do?" The Moonlight Witch pursed her lips and interrupted Ren Yuan's words in disappointment, "Isn't it human?" What's so strange, Huahua has seen a lot in person. ”
"You've seen a lot better?!" Ren Yuan was suddenly shocked, and asked sharply, "When you blessed mortals, did you walk out of the Mirror Moon World?" Didn't your dad warn you that you should never go out? ”
Before he finished speaking, Ren Yuan felt that something was wrong, the Lord of the Moon would most likely not leave a passage for his daughter to go out, and asked again, "How did you get out of the Mirror Moon World?" How can you get out of here? ”
"What are you doing so fiercely?" The Moonlight Witch said dissatisfiedly, "When did Huahua say that she went out of the Mirror Moon World?" ”
"Then how did you see a human being with your own eyes?"
"I can't get out, but I can bring them in." The Moonlight Witch said proudly, "Flowey has already met several humans. ”
Obviously, the words of the Moonlight Witch greatly surprised Ren Yuan's expectations. Only for a moment, his face changed uncertainly, but he was silent for a long time, as if he was digesting this astonishing news. Yu Qian next to him was a little puzzled, since Ren Yuan concluded that Nie Pu's blessing came from the Moonlight Witch, why would he be surprised that she had seen humans. However, after thinking about it, I decided to remain silent and wait and see how things unfolded.
"Tell Uncle how did you get them in?" After a moment of silence, Ren Yuan's face turned slightly pale, and he turned to ask the girl softly.
"It's just the last thing that happened." Maybe there are very few opportunities to share with outsiders, the moonlight witch said with a bit of ostentatious and smug tone, "That day, Huahua found that someone was communicating through the sacrificial ceremony, and the well called me, it was a father who begged Huahua to save his daughter." ”
"Is it called Nie Pu!" Ren Yuan asked out loud
"Yes, yes, that's the name, Uncle Ren, do you know her too?" Just like a child who has been corroborated and recognized by others when sharing his experience, the Moonlight Witch immediately clapped her hands happily, "His father begged Huahua to save his daughter, and Huahua saw that the girl named Nie Pu was about to die, so he predicted that someone would help her share the pain in the future." ”
"And you brought her in?" Ren Yuan asked with a somewhat unhappy expression
"It's not finished, it's not finished!" The moonlight witch slapped the table angrily, dissatisfied with Ren Yuan's interruption of her words, "Listen to Huahua, didn't I save his daughter?" The uncle said that Huahua was a good boy and really capable, and saved his poor daughter with a word. He said that he couldn't save it by trying a lot of things, and that no one else could do this kind of thing. ”
Speaking of this, the girl raised her little face and looked at Ren Yuan smugly, her moist lips bent upward, almost to be able to hang up the teacup in front of her. Looking at her face full of praise waiting for praise, the former had to nod and say
"Well, we're the best at Huahua."
"That's it!" The affirmative girl's smile became brighter and brighter, "Later, this uncle said that he would thank Huahua and ask Huahua what he wanted, and he would do his best to do it." ”
"Nie Pu's father told you that?" Ren Yuan obviously didn't believe it
"You mean to say that Flowey lied!" The Moonlight Witch said unhappily, "But Flowey thinks that the bald man is better than you, uncle!" ”
"Just kidding, an ordinary person..."Ren Yuan's face changed as soon as he spoke, and he turned his head and asked Xiang Yuqian, "Is Nie Pu's father bald?" ”
"I don't know." Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he asked this.
"Wait a minute, the bald head you are talking about, is it the Chosen One or a mortal?" Ren Yuan realized the problem and asked seriously
"Of course it's the Chosen One, it's hard for mortals to communicate here, right?"
"Do you remember what that man looked like?"
"Remember, tall, skinny, with a hat and a black coat." The Moonlight Witch twisted her little head and tried to remember, "Oh yes, and a pair of sunglasses." ”
"It's him!" Yu Qian couldn't help but blurt out, "It's that man!" ”
"Well, it's not Nie Pu's father." Ren Yuan nodded and said
"She lied?" Yu Qian asked in a deep voice
"Not necessarily, maybe she was unconscious by the time the ceremony was held." Ren Yuan analyzed: "It's normal to be blindfolded, and it's not difficult for her to mistakenly think that it was her father who held the ceremony." I'll just say that it is so easy for an ordinary person who has defected from the religion to complete the ritual on his own. ”
"What are you talking about? What lied? Flowey didn't lie. Seeing that the two of them were muttering and ignoring themselves, and couldn't understand what the two were saying, the Moonlight Witch suddenly became petty, reached out and grabbed Ren Yuan's arm and said, "Uncle Ren, Uncle Ren, you listen to me, listen to me, Huahua hasn't finished talking yet." Flowey told the uncle that there was everything, but there were no humans. Then the uncle said that he could send flowers and flowers to a few humans as pets. ”
"How many humans are there for you? Is it still here? ”
"It's gone, Huahua promised her dad that things from outside can't stay here. So Huahua let them out after playing. ”
"Them?" Ren Yuan frowned and said, "There is more than one?" ”
"That's right, that bald uncle is amazing, and he sent several of them." The Moonlight Witch said happily, "Although I can't stay, Huahua took part of their souls and made them into dolls, and Huahua will show you." ”
After speaking, the girl turned to the big pendulum clock behind the waiter and said, "Go to my bedroom and bring me the doll." ”
