Guardian Chapter 124: Duplicated Dolls
With the appearance of the contract seal, I saw that the armed puppet who was originally standing against the wall slowly opened its eyes.
It was a pair of black eyes made of glass, and in this dark room, it was like a cheetah lurking in the bushes, so as to hide its fierceness.
The puppet's fingers moved slightly, like a beast that had just awakened from its slumber, swept Rin with a dangerous gaze, circled the room, and finally landed on Mercury.
"Master." He spoke, his voice low.
Mercury seemed to be very satisfied, caressing the eight-pointed star mark, revealing a little girl's smile.
"Rin, do you think he ...... How is it? ”
Mercury asked, her face still looking forward to it, like a child expecting to be praised, and her eyes sparkled.
But Rin didn't like the puppet in front of him, because he was a little too much like Talos.
Whether it's the hairstyle, the proportions of the body, the position of the contract print, or even the details between the eyebrows and eyes. This kind of imitation makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Mercury, don't you think he looks ......"
"Do you think it's like Talos, because his prototype is Talos, so I asked you what you feel most intuitively."
Obviously, Mercury didn't think there was anything wrong with the existence of this almost 'copy' puppet, and just excitedly brought the puppet to Rinrin.
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Hmm."
Rin Rin's hand never moved away from Talos's body, looking at Mercury seriously, really waiting for his answer.
She inadvertently squeezed Talos' hand and finally spoke.
"He's not ...... at all compared to Talos"
Halfway through Rin's words, a pair of large hands suddenly covered her mouth from behind and forcibly pulled her away from Mercury's side.
"Why didn't you wait for me to come, I almost missed the scene where Talos was restored to health."
Behind him, Chi Yi's voice was full of laughter, but it was obvious that he was deliberately trying to divert the topic just now.
Rin pushed away his hand covering his mouth, "Ikemeichi, what are you doing!" ”
"Now that Talos has recovered, I'll send you home." Chi Yi smiled, and went to pull Rinrin's hand as he spoke.
Rin didn't know what was going on with these two people, but before she could react, Mercury struck first!
The small umbrella in his hand swiped horizontally, and a wind blade struck towards Chi Yi and Rinrin! Caught off guard, the two could only disperse and dodge.
"Chiyi, what do you want to do?"
Mercury lowered his voice coldly, obviously seeing Chi Yi's little trick.
"I'm just going to send them home, what's wrong with that?" Chi Yi put away his smile, and in the bottom of his eyes that looked at Mercury, he had always been known for his smiling tiger, a rare fierceness.
"There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but Rin and I still have something to say, you go out first."
"Mercury, you're already good, there's no need to compete for a high or low victory in many things......"
"Shut up!"
Suddenly, the mercury changed its usual softness, and the small umbrella in his hand suddenly waved!
There was a whirlwind in the small room, just like the night when Rin first came in. The hurricane surrounded Chiyi, and just a thin breeze could easily leave a deep blood mark on the skin.
Chi Yi casually pushed Rin away, picked up Talos, and threw it to Rin together.
"Remember what I said before. Take your doll home now, it's none of your business here. ”
Like a giant doll, Talos was limp into Rinrin's arms.
Rin sat down on the ground, holding Talos in her arms, who still hadn't woken up, only to feel that it had happened so suddenly that she didn't know how to deal with it.
In front of him, Chi Yi had already opened an enchantment around him.
Although the appearance of the enchantment blocked the wind blades surrounding him at the right time, the wind speed was not something that could be absolutely dodged by his keen movement alone.
There were obviously several scratches on Chi Yi's clothes, and there were hidden blood stains oozing from them.
Rin Rin looked at this scene, and suddenly felt as if he had been enlightened. No wonder I just looked at the old wound marks of Chi Yi who seemed to have fought with someone, and he was a little familiar.
Now that the wind blades of mercury were together, she suddenly remembered that this was not the wound caused by the wind summoned by the small umbrella.
However, there is no reason for these two people to hurt each other, is it, and what is this for now, for the sake of Talos?
Although Rin was confused by the relationship and behavior of the two men, the only thing she knew for sure was that Chiichi seemed to very much not want Mercury to get too close to Talos.
"Chi Yi, don't you think you're in charge too much?"
In the dark room, mercury stood in the wind. She reached out and blocked the figure beside her, which looked very similar to Talos, behind her.
It can be seen that she really cares about the safety of this puppet.
"Well, I don't think so. After all, I'm the one who has always been by your side and taken care of your daily life. Naturally, some things are for me to deal with, aren't they? ”
Chi Yi held the enchantment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled.
But although there was a smile on his face, the fine sweat flowing from his sideburns clearly showed that it was still a difficult thing to face the wind blade of mercury.
By this time, all the other items in the room had been scraped off.
As for the other dolls who have not yet been marked by the mercury, they are still standing quietly against the wall.
But the wind had no eyes, and as the coverage area of the Chiyi Barrier became larger and larger, those wind blades that were blocked out had nowhere to go, so they raged in this small room, and finally damaged the other puppets one by one.
"I just want to make the most perfect puppet that can surpass the original puppeteer. You've been by my side for so long, don't you understand! ”
"It's because I understand that I can't look into this meaningless obsession."
"In that case, there's no need for us to talk any further." After that, I saw Mercury turn her head and didn't know what to say to the puppet behind her.
Chi Yixin is not good, but he can't get out of being trapped in the wind at all. I could only watch as the puppet next to Mercury quickly disappeared from the wind.
"Chi Yi, you can't stop me. I have sacrificed too much for the sake of the Yunyin Association and for the so-called peace in your mouth. Now, I have only one wish...... Why should you ...... ”
Mercury stretched out the small umbrella in his hand and slowly walked out of the wind gust he had set.
She looked at Chi Yi who was trapped inside and didn't speak, she wouldn't hurt Chi Yi, but she couldn't let Chi Yi destroy the glimmer of hope she had finally waited for for so many years.
In the courtyard corridor, Rin dragged Talos out with great difficulty.
I really don't know why, I was so embarrassed when I came here, and now that I'm leaving, I'm still in such a hurry, as if I'm fleeing.
This Ikemeichi, what is his relationship with mercury?
And, why is this guy so heavy, I originally thought that the suitcase was too heavy, but now it seems that the real weight should be Talos.
"Stupid, I've done my best to get you back to where you were, why haven't you woken up." Rin muttered, but dragging Talos's hand became weaker and weaker.
At this time, the bamboo leaves in the courtyard suddenly shook wildly.
Rin suddenly became alert, because there was not a trace of wind outside at all, and not even the wind chimes hanging from the beams were shaking.
But this bamboo leaf ......
As Rin looked around vigilantly, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of them, his arms stretched out across the corridor, blocking their way.
"My master asks you to stay, she still has something to say."
The puppet spoke, and the deep voice was like a well that had long since dried up, without life, let alone half of its vitality.
"Mercury and Chiyi, are they still in that room?"
"I don't know, my job is just to make sure you stay here, and as for the rest, I don't know anything."
The puppet in front of me still answered mechanically, like a machine with a program written, only doing things according to the master's orders, and then repeating the work.
Rin is silent, what is the difference between such a one-sided armed puppet and a puppet at the mercy of others?
Even if this armed doll bears many similarities to Talos, how can it be compared to Talos.
What happened to mercury, why did it get to this point, and why did it have to be the same puppet as Dad.
Didn't Dad say that as long as you give the doll the corresponding love, you will definitely get a response?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.
"Rin, there are no more people in our way now, shall we go to the attic, or shall we just talk here for a while?"
Deep in the corridor, Mercury was dressed in a lovely dress, and the lace headband she wore on her head hung down a slender ribbon that intertwined with her long black hair.
The small umbrella in his hand was leisurely propped up behind his back, and Mei Lulu's soft little leather shoes made a crisp sound on the promenade, walking towards Rinrin.
"Where's Chiichi?"
Rin Rin was forced by the aura of mercury and didn't like to be alone with her, and now Chiichi told her to leave again. It's simply putting yourself in a dilemma.
"Chi Yi is still in my room, I asked him to rest in it, and it won't be too late to go to him after we talk."
Mercury smiled, and there was no malice between her words, just like a cute little girl, softly looking forward to the person in front of her to be able to chat with her for a while.
Such a little Lori, let alone a man, even a straight woman like her is hard to refuse!
"Well, let's talk about it here." Rin suddenly raised her hand, stopping Mercury from approaching.
"Okay, then I'm still the same question as before, what do you think of him?"
Mercury's gaze was fixed on the armed doll across the corridor, and the question that had not been answered again blurted out.
He ...... ”
Rin Rin was about to speak and stopped, but seeing that Mercury was desperate to get an answer from her mouth, she finally took a deep breath and said.
"Mercury, I don't know why you have to use Talos as a model to make your own puppet. But IMHO, no matter how similar his appearance and form are to Talos, he's just an emotionless humanoid weapon. It's a completely different being from Talos. ”
As soon as he said that, Rin Rin breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had always relieved himself of the burden that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
But when she looked back at Mercury, she found that Mercury only silently lowered her head, and the small umbrella in her hand obscured a lot of sunlight, so that her whole face was buried in darkness......
