"You're weird."

Suddenly, a puppet doll that was relatively close to the shadow suddenly spoke. The puppet doll was wearing a dark coffee-colored dress, her face was as translucent and white as porcelain, and her slight frown was a little sad and beautiful, she pointed to Youying and said, "You're so short......"

Ghost: "......"

Indeed, all the puppet dolls present were over 167cm tall, and the shortest puppet dolls could look at her in a "down-looking" posture.

"It's really short." Another puppet doll echoed, and she seemed to have just discovered the existence of Youying, covering her mouth in surprise and looking at Youying, "Is it because the mechanic accidentally amputated her leg?" ”

Phantom frowned: I'm not a mechanical doll.

Another puppet doll was muttering in a low voice: "She's so short, so ugly, it must be hard to walk, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Youying stood on the chair.

Puppet dolls: "......"

Ghost: "......"

Then the puppet dolls blinked their eyes, and looked at the suddenly "high" Youying, some of their mouths opened involuntarily, as if they were shocked, and they didn't relax for a long time.

However, Yuying reacted - she was a little embarrassed, she didn't even know why she was comparing herself to a group of puppet dolls, so naïve, in a way like that guy.

Just as Youying was about to come down, she saw a line of words appear on the long dining table:

It's best not to let them find out that you're "different" from them.

It's not the same.

Youying pursed her lips slightly, her eyes darkened, and she paused for a while before getting off the chair.

"Why are you shorter again?" The puppet doll in a black gothic dress asked suspiciously, and as soon as the words were spoken, the other puppet dolls also nodded in agreement.

It seems that these mechanical dolls have a very low IQ - Yuying concludes that now they have several pairs of eyes staring at her, their strange eyes with doubt, and the momentum is as if they are going to keep staring at her without giving an answer.

The atmosphere was somewhat frozen.

The glowing voice replied calmly, "My legs stretch automatically, but I prefer to be shorter. ”

"Why?" Another puppet doll asked, "But we are both tall, why do you like to be shorter?" And it's so short, it's really "different" from us. ”

As soon as the words fell, the puppet dolls' eyes became more and more strange, and they looked at Yuying vigilantly, as if they were identifying whether she belonged to their own kind or not.

This time, Youying gave up playing word games with them and consciously stood up in a chair.

Now, the atmosphere was a little more relaxed, and the puppet dolls stopped looking at her with that strange look and continued to chat.

"Ryo was sent out a few days ago, so pitiful." The puppet doll dressed in dark coffee has a pitiful look on her face, even if it is just a machine, but her expression is close to the real expression of a human.

"What's wrong with Ryo? Did something happen to her? Another puppet asked worriedly.

"Supposedly she was attacked by a strange creature, who was very short and wore strange clothes, but the expression on her face was very similar to ours sometimes."

"What expression?"

"The look on your face when you're manic."

"Huh? Mania? ”

"It's terrifying...... Is that creature like us? ”

The puppet dolls interjected one by one, expressing their opinions, and when the six of them had spoken, they all turned their heads to look at the shadow next to them.

That look seemed to be waiting for her to speak.

Ghosting frowned—she had no idea what was going on, and she couldn't bring in their emotions.

After waiting for a while, the puppet doll in a black gothic dress spoke again, she frowned deeply, looked at Youying's face, and asked very seriously, "Why don't you speak?" It's weird. ”

"Why is it strange?" Shadow asked.

"It's just weird......," the other puppet doll said, "It's really weird that we're all different." ”

It's weird, it's really weird, she's weird......

This sentence inexplicably penetrated a little deep into her mind, and kept reverberating.

Youying was in a trance for a moment, and she always felt as if she had heard that sentence somewhere, and she had heard it many times, and some broken pictures flashed in her mind inexplicably, but those pictures flashed quickly, and she couldn't grasp them.

The atmosphere around is getting more and more eerie.

The depths of the glow's pupils grew colder and darker, exuding a suppressed and low aura that made the puppet dolls blink curiously.

"She's so weird." Another puppet doll pointed at her and said, "She's so weird, she can't laugh, she can't even laugh, it's so strange that she looks expressionless." ”

Can't even laugh.

Youying tugged at the corners of her mouth, and a faint smile spread across her face, it was a very light smile, giving people the illusion of nothingness, as if it would disappear in the blink of an eye.

A line of words silently appeared on the desktop:

Heck, how does it feel to be considered an "outlier"?

However, the puppet dolls were not satisfied, and the doll in the black gothic costume said: "She laughs strangely, strangely, and her smile is as ugly as when she has no expression." ”

Other puppet dolls have complied.

"yes, yes......"

"It's different from us......"

"What a nasty feeling......"

"Bang-"

Glowing jumped out of her chair and turned to walk towards the door.

"Where are you going? That door won't open. ”

Behind him, there was the sound of those puppet dolls reminding me.

Youying was silent, and her footsteps stopped in front of the huge double doors.

She pushed it tentatively, but sure enough, she couldn't open it.

The gate is made of heavy marble, and there should be a special system to control its opening and closing, and there is no combination lock on the wall inside, and it seems that the inside can only be reached from the outside, unless there is another mechanism to control it, and the walls are scratched by sharp objects.

Yuying reached out to cover the scratch marks, and her fingertips touched the gray sand of the stone peeling off the wall, and she gently brushed off the dust before revealing the real complete scratch, which was one word: Doll.

"Do you want to get out of here? Why get out of here? It is not right to do so. The puppet dolls behind him were still chattering.

Could it be that the way out of here has something to do with the puppet dolls?

Youying pursed her lips slightly, turned around and walked towards the puppet dolls, but before she had taken a few steps, the door behind her made a trembling sound "Bang, knock-", and the entire huge marble door was shaking, as if it would shatter in the next second, and a behemoth would break in.

Spectre took a few steps back, making sure she was standing in a safe area.

"Knock-bang-"

The whole stone gate shook even more.

"Is there a monster? How could there be monsters here? Those puppet dolls hid far away, not caring at all about Youying, who was standing very close to the stone gate, and didn't treat her as one of their kind.

Youying calmly looked at the stone gate that was about to be smashed, and her eyes were not shocked.
