"Mercury!"

Chi Yi's face changed suddenly, and he immediately didn't have the heart to pass the time with Rin here, and went straight to the attic studio.

“…… Talos! ”

As Chi Yi ran away, Rin Rin immediately reacted to something, and followed closely.

In the studio, Chi Yi completely ignored the opening of the door.

Even on the way over, he had already thought that if Talos dared to hurt Mercury for half a point, even if Mercury was still reluctant to give up or stop himself, he would definitely not leave Talos, an armed puppet that should not have existed, to survive.

"Mercury, are you okay!"

Chi Yi rushed in eagerly, only to see that the room was in a mess, with tools and other items scattered all over the ground.

Mercury sat unharmed at the workbench, his face calm, as if nothing had happened.

Rin stood in the doorway, she didn't approach as rashly as Ikeichi, but in this room like a thief, she quickly searched for Talos.

In the midst of this mess, torsos and arms from different dolls are thrown everywhere like garbage.

Some surfaces have been damaged to varying degrees, and even dirty in some way.

She picked up a small arm, which seemed to have some strange liquid attached to it. In addition to being viscous, there is also a hint of fishy sweetness.

"Are you alright, what just happened?"

Ignoring the clutter scattered all over the room, Chi Yi just rushed over to check the mercury back and forth to see if she was hurt somewhere.

Especially, the mercury's hands......

"It's okay, didn't you ask you to stop coming to me recently."

"I just heard a cry from you, I thought it was ......"

"Why?" Mercury tilted her head sideways, an inquiring expression.

Of course she knew what Ji Yi was worried about, and he hadn't been so conscientious for so many years...... Watching yourself.

Mercury didn't say these words, just pushed Chi Yi's hand and walked out of the room.

As he passed by Rinrin's side, "Don't worry, your doll is fine." ”

Rin looked back at the back of Mercury leaving. Although her appearance and voice are like a child, every time she comes into close contact with her, Rin feels an inexplicable sense of pressure.

"Well, thank you."

It wasn't until Mercury's figure was no longer visible that she came back to her senses and said thank you.

'Smack-'

Suddenly, a defenseless slap hit Rin on the back of the head.

"The head of the half-demon, is it so slow to react, who are you talking to when everyone is gone?"

"Ikemeichi, you'd better stop in moderation!"

Rin Rin rubbed the back of her head, and was about to shoot back, but Chi Yi suddenly grabbed her wrist, and the expression on her face changed from a lazy smile on weekdays to an extremely serious one.

"What did Mercury tell you just now?"

"She said, Talos is fine."

Looking at Chi Yi's uncharacteristic appearance, Rin Rin obviously sensed that there seemed to be something serious hidden in this, so he also answered straightforwardly.

"Okay, remember what I said now. As soon as your puppet is repaired, leave with it. No matter what kind of agreement you have made with Mercury before, don't count it now. ”

With that, Chi released her hand and left.

Only Rin Rin was left alone, like falling into the clouds, unable to figure out his head, and he didn't know what was going on with these two people, and his words and deeds were so strange.

For the next few days, the little bento still appeared on the table in the restaurant, but Ikeme was nowhere to be seen.

Mercury never left the studio, except for the occasional loud noise, screaming, and strange noise.

Although curiosity always drove Rin to find out, in the end, reason prevailed over other ideas, and she obediently waited patiently in this house.

It's just that Team Leader Xiang Lan only gave himself a week's vacation. and the power of attorney that was used as a shield, but she didn't even look at it, and she was inexplicably impatient in her heart, and it was difficult to calm down.

"You are very leisurely, how long did Lan Zhu give you a vacation to let you vacation here?"

Rin was lying in the corridor connecting the courtyard to kill time, when she heard the sound and suddenly opened her eyes, and what she saw was Chiichi's face with a lazy smile.

She sat up with a spirit, but it was 'Duang~' that bumped into Ji Yi's forehead, who was looking down at her......

"Shhh Could it be that the young master of the dignified Chimu clan has a quirk that likes to stare at others! ”

Rin covered her nose, and the feeling of soreness and pain made her cry come out.

"Maybe, it's not necessarily true that you've been right." Chi Yi rubbed his forehead, neither admitting nor denying Rinrin's words, but the smile on his face did not change in the slightest.

Chi Yi is a human being, and he has rarely shown his joy and anger on his face. Only when it comes to mercury matters, will occasionally IQ go offline, so as to be teased by Rinrin.

At this time, Rin suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a few scratches on Chi Yi's body, and some blood stains that seemed to have been rubbed unintentionally.

"What have you been doing these days?"

"Me?" Chi Yi pointed to himself.

"Otherwise, is there anyone else here?"

Rin Rin looked at Chi Yi's appearance of fighting with someone at a glance, and asked curiously for a while.

Chi Yi looked down at the blood stains on his body, and he understood what Rin was asking.

It's just that......

"Little Rin, I didn't expect you to care about me. But to be honest, you say this although you are a little touched. But like a fan in winter and a stove in summer, I don't think it's necessary. ”

Chi Yi responded with a smile, and at first glance it seemed that he was happy for Rin Rin's concern, but the words he said were still infuriating to the extreme.

"You ......"

Rin only felt choked, and at the same time regretted that she was really full, how could she talk to Ikeme a lot.

"Don't be angry, I came to you with good news to tell you."

"Good news?"

"Well, a good news, or a bad news, which do you want to hear?" Chi smiled and looked at him, as if he wanted to hang his appetite with this.

Rin Rin looked at his indecent face, this guy naturally couldn't believe all of his words.

"Children only make choices, I, I want both!"

"Poof."

Chi Yi suddenly laughed, "Since you are so greedy, then I will satisfy you." Your armed puppet, it's fixed. ”

"Repaired, repaired?!"

Hearing this, Rin almost jumped for joy. In an instant, he put the unpleasantness just now behind him, pushed away Chi Yi and ran to Mercury's room.

But Chi Yi behind him looked at the back of her leaving and said leisurely, "Xiao Rinrin, why did you forget to hear another news." That is, Talos didn't wake up because of this......"

Under the quiet corridor, Chi Yi's eyes were even more smiling on his lazy expression.

His eyes narrowed into a long, narrow slit, just like watching a play, looking at the vanishing figure.

When I came to Mercury's room, I saw that the large box was still quietly there, and there was no sign of Talos everywhere.

"Mercury, where's Talos?"

Under Rin Rin's inquiry, Mercury didn't say anything, just pointed to a wall deep in his room.

It was a wall covered by a heavy purple curtain, which Rin had always treated as if it had been closed for a long time.

Now that I am so fingered by mercury, it seems that it is not so simple,

Because compared to the elegant color scheme and design of the whole room, the color of this part seems to be too heavy.

Rin walked over suspiciously, and with a 'bang', the curtains were opened, and a small dark room came into view.

Several dolls of various sizes stood in rows on the walls of the room, and the middle one, which seemed to be a bed and a table, was covered by a black cloth, and there seemed to be a person lying in it.

"Talos, are you in there?"

Rin walked cautiously over, although the atmosphere in the room was eerie, and the puppets standing against the wall were indescribably weird. But if I'm not mistaken, Talos should be there.

"Are you afraid? Am I afraid of the puppet I made, or am I afraid that my craftsmanship is not good, and I will repair your Talos instead? ”

At some point, Mercury suddenly stood beside her.

It was the first time she had been so close to Mercury, didn't she dislike that people were near her?

Rin was thinking, but Mercury had already stepped inside, grabbing the corner of the black curtain and pulling it off the platform completely.

Underneath, the skin of the black-padded Talos was whiter and more porcelain-like. Originally, the injury on his shoulder was more like it had never appeared.

Even the remaining arms and microscopic scratches on the surface of the skin were polished by mercury to make them as smooth as new.

The contract mark on his arm was clearly visible, and Talos's lower abdomen rose and fell as if he were really breathing.

"Talos!" Rin ran over excitedly and hugged him.

Although it has long been known that the puppeteer will be able to fix it. But when it really came to this moment, this feeling of joy expanded infinitely in her heart, and then expanded.

She wiped her eyes, only to feel a stream of heat gushing out.

"Really, it must have been blinded by the dust raised when the mercury lifted the black cloth just now."

Rin muttered to herself, but soon she found that the doll she was holding in her arms was like a stone, just lying there quietly, without any reaction.

"What's wrong with Talos, isn't it already fixed?" She looked eagerly at the mercury.

"Well, that's what I want to tell you, although it's repaired, he hasn't shown signs of restarting, maybe my spiritual power is not enough......"

Mercury touched the contract seal on Talos' arm with a thoughtful look.

Mercury then set her eyes on the other dolls standing in the room.

"Look, these are all dolls I made based on Talos. What do you think? ”

As she spoke, she put her hand over the arm of one of the figures. I saw a faint blue-gray light flashing by, and as Mercury's hand slowly moved away, a dark gray, eight-pointed star contract seal was branded on the puppet's originally smooth skin......
