Side Story 4

"Your name, Dean."

It's like being given consciousness. Dean, wake up.

Memories are nothing more than a kind of information stored in mechanical parts, and Dean was born with a knowledge of how to operate his body to fight, what kind of mission he was given, and what kind of mission he was given, and he could only act according to the mission he was given, all because-

He is a puppet without a soul.

Woke up with him, and there were many compatriots who were also puppets. These fellow citizens, along with themselves, are called by the same master. That master has the supreme right. His orders are the meaning of the existence of the puppets.

This master has led the puppets to bloody battles on the battlefield countless times, and every time he goes on the battlefield, Dean will have his compatriots scrapped in battle, and then become a completely disappeared existence, and Dean is one of the few puppets who survived.

Puppets don't have the concept of life in the first place, and since they don't have life, how can they talk about death? Therefore, every time they fought, the puppets were completely obedient to their masters, and there was never a revolt. Rather, the puppet does not have the will to do so at all, let alone resist.

But such a ridiculous thing actually happened. Not only that, but the owner was killed by the puppet he created.

Originally, the supply of energy should have been cut off with the death of the master, but this was not the case. The puppet who killed the master, took it all over and became the owner of all the puppets that survived.

Dean only knew that the puppet who killed his master was named Garlin.

This situation did not last long, and the sudden appearance of a new puppet completely shattered the situation.

She looks very similar to Garlin, the two of them look like sisters, have the same body proportions and the same immature face, but Dean can feel that there is a clear difference between the two.

It's an indescribable feeling.

"Why are you here to stop me! Jia'er!! ”

Garlene let out a hysterical sound. I don't know how many times she's been in a state of extreme anger lately.

Jia'er was silent, just holding a black umbrella. Her dress is also very different from Jialin, Jialin is wearing a purple shorts, while Jia'er is a blue-gray long skirt.

The blood-colored realm opened in an instant, engulfing the two of them into it. This is Jialin's realm—the killing realm, and Jia'er is well aware of that.

Jia Lin took the lead in attacking, and the blood blades like a crescent moon swung out of Jia Lin's scythe, each blood blade was so powerful, and it was these blood blades that allowed Jia Lin to kill her master with her own hands.

The black umbrella has become a weapon for Jia'er's defense, and the extremely fast blood blade hits the floor and tears out ravines, but there is nothing to be done about Jia'er's black umbrella, and even a series of attacks have not left any traces on Jia'er's black umbrella.

Even if Jialin occupied an absolutely favorable terrain and had the advantage of the domain, she could not break through Jia'er's defenses. Faced with this situation, Jia Lin can only be forced to get closer to Jia Er and fall into close combat.

But both of them know in their hearts that hand-to-hand combat is Jia'er's home field.

The black umbrella was put away by Jia'er at this moment, and the umbrella that was originally focused on defense turned into a pitch-black spear at this moment. Not only that, but Jia'er's magic lines also popped out from the tips of her left fingers, and these magic lines were what made Jia Lin really feel troubled.

The swing of the scythe was blocked by the black umbrella, but Jia Lin's weapon was only one, and the scythe restrained by the black umbrella had no way to defend against the magic line attacked by Jia Er, which also caused Jia Lin to be forced to retreat, but Jia Er had no intention of chasing at all, just stood in place, staring at Jia Lin with her red pupils.

Only in the killing realm is Jialin's pupil color consistent with Jia'er, but this consistency is something that Jialin deeply resents.

"Give me death!"

Unexpectedly, Jia Lin did not choose to attack Jia Er again, her claws stretched out to the innocent puppet next to her.

Only by constantly killing will Jialin's strength grow explosively, these puppets who have been killing enemies on the battlefield for a long time are already covered with bloodstains, even if the puppets are not living beings, as long as Jialin destroys them, he can use the killing field to draw nutrients from them, so as to greatly improve his ability.

Just a bloody blade was swung, and many puppets who had fought side by side with Jia Lin in the past turned into a pile of waste. Wisps of gray air rose from the waste and were absorbed by the Killing Realm, further enhancing Garin's abilities. It can be said that as long as she keeps killing, Jia Lin will grow into a monster sooner or later.

This is obviously not the ending that Jia'er wants to see.

The bloody blade that Jia Lin swung was once again blocked by Jia'er's black umbrella. This time, Jia'er chose to take the initiative very rarely.

The bright red blood blade stopped in front of Dean, all because of the existence of this person named Jia'er, blocking in front of him.

"Dean! Kill her for me! ”

Garin sent an absolute order. At this moment, Jia'er has her back to Dean, and if she wants to sneak attack, this should be the best time.

Puppets should completely obey the orders of their masters. Dean's master at the moment is Garin.

However, Dean was simply indifferent to Garlin's orders.

"What are you doing! Kill her!! ”

Jia Lin's expression was almost in a state of madness, and at this moment she began to use the blood blade to attack Jia Er frantically, but Jia Lin's attacks were all blocked by Jia Er's black umbrella, and this black umbrella almost became a nightmare that Jia Lin couldn't get over.

Even if Jia Lin urged repeatedly, Dean's body didn't move at all.

The word rebellion came to Dean's mind for the first time.

From this moment on, Dean awakened to his own consciousness.

Angry, Garin began to command the other puppets to attack Gar from behind, but Dean remained motionless.

In the face of this kind of situation, if you don't get out quickly, Jia'er will fall into a rather disadvantageous situation, but once Jia'er leaves, the puppet behind her will be attacked by Jialin.

Institutional emancipation.

The blue-gray long skirt and the long silver-white hair turned blood-red in an instant, the killing field is Jialin's unique ability, and the liberation of the institution is also Jia'er's unique ability.

Under the huge supply of magic power, Jia'er's strength has skyrocketed exponentially. The magic wire, which was originally as thick as a hair, had become the thickness of a fishing net, and the puppets that pounced on Jia'er were all stopped by the magic net woven by Jia'er. At the same time as the magic power skyrocketed, Jia'er's speed also increased to a rather terrifying level.

With just one blow, Jia Lin felt a blow in her back.

Jia'er's speed is so fast that Jialin's naked eye can't detect it at all, and the energy core behind it is precisely where Jialin is most vulnerable.

But Jia'er had her hand until this moment, and Fang Cai's attack was not to penetrate Jialin's body with a black umbrella, nor to cut Jialin's body in half with a magic line, but to simply throw a heavy punch. Jia'er wanted to paralyze Jialin, not to take Jialin's life.

Jia'er's punch left a heavy depression in Jialin's back, and the energy supply core in the back was directly broken by Jia'er's punch, which made Jialin's energy supply cut off almost instantly, and the killing field was forced to retract into Jialin's right eye, and all the puppets became lifeless because of the loss of energy supply.

The gap in hard power is like a moat, this is a fact that Jia Lin does not want to face no matter what.

"Why! The same created existence is so unfair to me! The ability that the master has given us two is fundamentally different! "The end

Even when the energy was about to run out, Jia Lin let out an extremely unwilling roar.

Facing Jialin, who lost her ability to fight and was lying on the ground, Jia'er, who cherished words like gold, finally spoke this time:

"Master, it's the same for each of us."

"But he gave you away!"

"You're wrong, it's not like that."

Jia'er shook her head. She is very bad at arguing with people, and she also doesn't like to argue with people.

"You're liberated by the institution, you're got the heart, and I'm nothing!! If the old fellow had been willing to divide the two things up with me, I wouldn't have killed him!" ”

"The master gave you far more than he gave me."

"You lied !!"

At the moment when Jia Lin let out a hysterical roar, Jia Lin's energy supply finally reached the point where it could no longer be supported, and Jia Lin, who had lost her energy, lay on the ground, completely unconscious.

Seeing Jialin's consciousness leaving, Jia'er pushed Jialin's body away, let Jialin lie flat on the ground, and began to dismantle the abandoned energy core behind Jialin, the destroyed energy core is in danger of exploding at any time, so Jia'er's actions must be careful to the extreme.

Fortunately, knowing that Jia'er completely separated the damaged energy core from Jialin's body, the energy core did not explode. It's just that Jia Lin, who has lost her energy supply, must install a new energy core if she wants to come back to life again.

But the master has been killed by Garin.

There is no way to recycle the damaged energy core, let alone create a new energy core. At this level of sophistication, almost every energy core is specially made, not to mention that the energy core is the most important thing in the entire puppet's body. If other parts can be restored by some means, the damage to the energy core is something that no one can restore except the puppet maker. Even Jia'er's current owner has nothing to do about it.

But Jia'er doesn't want to see Jialin sleep like this all the time, even if the possibility is very small, she must let her master try to see if she can restore Jialin to her original appearance.

After placing Garin in the Space Stone, Jia'er's gaze fell on the still puppets in the distance. Most of these puppets were destroyed in the war, not to mention that they were destroyed by Jia Lin, and the number left at the moment was not even one thousandth of the original number. Only a dozen of them are still well preserved and can still be put into service.

One of them was Dean.

These puppets are fundamentally different from Jialin and Jia'er, because the energy supply of these puppets all comes from the outside, as long as it is cut off, it will stop immediately, not only in terms of energy supply, but also in terms of completion and Jia'er and Jialin, from the appearance, Jia'er and Jialin feel that they are one, and there are no joints or connections at all. But these puppets are not, especially the joints, which can be clearly seen.

Puppets that have been scrapped have almost no possibility of recycling. Therefore, Jia'er only included the puppets that could still be used in the space stone. But Dean was the only one who was left behind.

The reason for staying is simple, after Jia'er leaves. Here, someone needs to take care of it.

Jia'er's former owner is fundamentally different from the puppets made by others, although most of the puppets he made are experimental objects, but they give each puppet enough space to have its own consciousness, if it is not for this creative attempt, it is impossible to create Jialin and Jia'er with absolute self-consciousness existence, although both can be called puppets, but they have already transcended the puppet, and it is more appropriate to describe them as artificial life.

The reason why Dean was left behind is also very simple, just in the battle just now, Dean seems to be the only existence that has awakened his self-consciousness, and the only one who has not attacked Jia'er. Perhaps, this puppet can become a qualified life form like Jia'er and Jialin. To do this, Jia'er needs to prepare Dean with an energy core that can support his activities.

Powering Dean is easy, and it's not just for Garin, it's easy for Garre to do. But creating an energy core suitable for Dean is more than a little bit of work, not to mention the person who wants to create an energy core, or Jia'er.

Luckily, Jia'er had plenty of time to try. The space here is independent of the present world, and as an artificial life, Jia'er itself has an infinite lifespan. Time is just a unit of measurement for Jia'er. Because of Jia'er herself, she has unlimited time. But even so, Jia'er won't let her current owner wait too long.

Through continuous learning, progress and experimentation, Jia'er finally made a semi-automatic energy core, which is already the limit of what she can do at present. Although this energy core cannot achieve the sustainability of energy supply, it can replenish energy by other means, that is, it has the so-called charging function. As long as Dean knows to recharge himself in time, Dean can theoretically act forever.

After attaching this power core to Dean, sure enough, Dean woke up. It's just that Jia'er's work is not done, and she still needs to do one thing, which is to teach Dean how to learn.

This matter is unexpectedly difficult, even teaching animals in the natural world to learn is quite difficult, not to mention that Jia'er has to teach a mechanical head. But fortunately, with Jia'er's unremitting efforts, it has paid off.

Now Dean knows how to recharge himself, and he also has a certain degree of learning ability, although he has not been able to learn the language, but he has almost unlimited time, and he has enough time to learn, even if it is inefficient, in the face of endless time, this is nothing.

There was always a limit to the amount of time she could give Dean, and in the end, she was forced to leave behind a large number of books and teach Dean how to read them. Although she still can't read these books at this stage, Jia'er also left books for children to learn languages, and I believe that as long as time is long, Dean can learn all the content in the books left by Jia'er.

On an uneventful day, Jia'er left. She left without any news, and even though Dean searched the entire puppet capital, he couldn't find half of Jia'er.

It wasn't until this moment that Dean finally felt what kind of feelings parting was.

As long as Dean knows to recharge his batteries, then all he has is endless time. Soon, he experienced another emotion, and that was boredom.

There is always a limit to what he can do, and Dean, who does not have the ability to think for himself, can only do what Jia'er left as an order.

Dean has eaten all the books left by Jia'er, but Dean has no idea what the point of Jia'er letting herself learn these things is, and even the wreckage left by the battle between Jia'er and Jia'er has never been cleaned up. Jia'er only taught Dean how to do it, but not why Dean did it.

Since Jia Lin killed her master, no one except Jia Er knows the specific spatial coordinates here, so no one can reach here, and Jia Er has never returned to the Puppet City once after leaving.

Dean has since become a lone ruin keeper. But the caretaker himself lacks a soul. All this, only when Dean's body malfunctions, he will fall into a deep sleep forever.

But everything is not absolute, and after a long silence in the puppet capital, a visitor suddenly appeared.

The visitor was a young man in his twenties, and he was the only one who came to the puppet capital.

He seemed to know quite well what this place was, and although it was his first time here, he was neither a thief nor an explorer. Although everything in the puppet capital has left a heavy handwriting under the washing of time, the essence of this place has never changed.

The visitor just looked around, whether it was a half-finished puppet hanging in mid-air, or a finished puppet that fell to the ground due to the rope breaking for too long, everything here did not seem to frighten the visitor, he just walked slowly, with his own eyes, to confirm the great achievements left by his predecessors.

It wasn't until he moved to the front of the main hall that Dean was slumped on the steps of the main hall that his steps stopped.

"What a delicate finish."

Visitors couldn't help but admire the super skill of the producer, although the maker of this puppet may not even have scum left.

Pushing open the door of the main hall, thankfully, there are no traps set here. The owner of the City of Dolls has always been a decent man, who disdains to keep these little tricks behind, and instead pours all his heart and soul into the puppet.

Here, there are still traces of fighting.

The battle between Jialin and Jia'er completely destroyed this place. The ground was full of thrilling rifts, because Garin's blood blades were so powerful that even if Jia'er blocked most of them, the remaining attacks still affected everything around her.

Visitors linger on the traces of these battles for a long time. Although he didn't know exactly what kind of battle would leave such traces, what he did know was that the master of the puppet capital was already the pinnacle of achievement in the puppet.

The remains of the puppets on the ground did not attract the attention of the visitors this time, and the visitors' attention was completely attracted by the books in the center of the main hall.

These books can be said to record the treasures left by this peerless master, and the books that have been specially treated by Jia'er are almost permanent, and this visitor is very fortunate to have the opportunity to have access to the knowledge recorded in these books.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three loud kowtows sounded in the hall. The visitor took all the books she had left behind and left.

The city of puppets has once again fallen into silence.
