It was an inconspicuous little wrecked ship quietly moored on the water, the wooden hull was carved with the traces of time, even the marks had become black and dirty, and behind the low bow was a tight cabin covered with black cloth, if you didn't look closely, you would think it was a pile of black grass there, and even the word "broken" could not describe the whole of this cabin.

Nan Ke and Kong looked at the luxurious merchant ship moored not far from it, the bright cabin and beautiful bow were all in stark contrast to it.

The corners of their lips twitched.

"You...... Are you sure...... Is this a store? ”

Nan Ke asked incredulously.

It's no wonder that he is so suspicious, although most of the shops in the floating market are boats, so the bright shops can't see much luxury, but it's the first time I've seen such a dilapidated one.

"yes, and the owner of this shop is still a powerful man."

Su Que was not ready to explain, but said mysteriously.

She led the two of them toward the boat, which was still shivering and swaying as if it might capsize at any moment, as if it might capsize at any moment, which made the two men trust the shop even less.

"Excuse me, anyone?"

Still a little incredulous, Nanke stood at the bow of the ship and shouted into the cabin.

Because the cabin was almost covered with a black cloth, they didn't know where the door was, so they could only wait tremblingly at the ship's head and ask.

There was no one in the cabin, and the black props stood tall like a silent grave of death.

Nan Ke couldn't help but set his eyes on Su Que.

Su Que looked around, and silently came to a small metal box next to the cabin, which was also extremely worn, with various scratches on the metal surface, almost peeling off the silver skin.

She fumbled in her pocket, pulled out ten shiny gold coins, and threw the shiny and clear thing into the box without hesitation in the amazed eyes of everyone.

"Bang Bang

The sound of the gold coins falling in the empty chest was particularly crisp and loud.

Su Que raised his eyes to look at the cabin.

Sure enough, before the gold coins could settle in the box, there was a hearty chime inside.

"Please come in, my guest."

A voice that had clearly been changed with a voice changer came out.

Kong and Nan Ke invariably set their eyes on Su Que - they didn't expect this store to ask for money to enter the door, and the shopkeeper is still a money-loving person.

"Let's go, let's go."

Su Que beckoned to the two of them, motioning for them to follow, and then lifted the black cloth in front of him with ease, revealing a narrow entrance less than a meter and a half below, and drilled through the gap.

It was very dark in the cabin, only a dim little lamp was lit on the ceiling, and that light could only shine on the smudged bow of the cabin, and there was a table next to it that seemed to be lit with incense, but it was not the smoky smell, but a kind of ink fragrance mixed with the smell of books, which was not tiresome in the nostrils, but had a feeling of vitality.

Su Que groped for a chair in the darkness and sat down, and the narrow entrance began to shine through again—it was Nan Ke and Kong who had entered.

"I only accept one guest."

The muffled voice changer came from behind a straw curtain, and the tone did not fluctuate, as if it were merely stating a rule or a fact.

"I know, but can't you let them hear it?"

Su Que pulled the chair a little closer to that side and replied.

There was no speech on the other side of the curtain, and the air seemed to freeze.

Su Que knew that he didn't seem to agree, but he didn't panic, and asked steadily:

"You opened the store like this, you didn't want to accept too many customers. But if you let them stand next to your boat, doesn't it mean that you are also a business shop? When the people next to you saw it, they became curious for a while, and you will inevitably have to accept a few more guests. ”

There was silence on the other side of the straw curtain again, and a candle lit up on the cabin, illuminating the yellowish straw curtain white.

"In that case, then let it be."

The middle way on the other side of the curtain finally compromised.

"If you know this, you should know what my business does. Say, what questions do you have for me. ”

Su Que slowly smiled.

The main purpose of her coming to Nakamichiko's shop was to rush for the tin man, because the chalk that escaped from the comfort company was brought to her, and she couldn't do anything treacherous.

But she really didn't have any clues about it, after all, she really couldn't hear any useful information from the messy words.

But Nakadoko is different, no one knows what his abilities are, but he can know everything, which is recognized by everyone.

In other words, even if people don't know what it's going through, they can solve it perfectly.

"I want to know something about the Tin Man."

Su Que stared at the grass curtain and said.

She didn't say exactly which tin man it was, because she knew that Nakamichiko would definitely understand what she was referring to.

"He's a post-apocalyptic creature from a copy of the Doll's Mansion, but he wasn't."

Behind the straw curtain came the voice of Nakamichiko again.

"The Doll's Mansion copy is a fairy-tale place, his character is a prince, but he went to the wrong plot because he saved people, according to the rules of that copy, he will follow the wrong plot, and the prince's ending is his end."

"The end of the prince?"

Su Que asked suspiciously.

"Yes, in that fairy tale, the prince ended up trying to rescue the princess, undo his tin curse, and marry the princess, but he didn't follow the plot.

After being turned into a tin man by a witch in the script, he missed the opportunity to save the princess in the jungle for some reason, resulting in him being also a tin man in the final ending. ”

Nakamichiko explained unhurriedly, and the deep voice changer seemed to be a little indifferent in his voice.

"And what does he mean by 'it'?"

Su Que thought about it and asked again.

After all, in Comfort Company, the Tin Man has mentioned that "it" many times.

"He's just a copy outsider, that 'it' is the original Tin Man, it's the product of the copy derived from it to control him."

"And how can I save it?"

"His current name is Edward. Win, you'll need to find the fairy tale book that belongs to the prince and rewrite its ending so that when he becomes the original prince, he can escape the doll's mansion copy. ”

Zhongdaozi paused, and then said:

"One last hint, the end of Vientiane was laid off a few days ago, the copy of the Doll Mansion is now gone, but the power to control him has not disappeared, he is still a post-apocalyptic creature, and that fairy tale book is now scattered elsewhere."
