Mystical: Memory Fragments - Puppet Shop

On the fifth floor of the guild, there is a small shop with a few dolls hanging from the door, but its house number shows something extraordinary—three

"Yelin, before you go out, you must find your bonds, this is one of the few hard requirements we have, but now the situation is a bit special, so you have to do this now, she is in Alice's doll shop, number three, take this wooden sign and go, remember, follow your heart, all false, all illusions. ”

............

Yelin paced back and forth in front of the door, seemingly a little uncertain, but after thinking about Zi Guo's words, she finally pushed the wooden door open.

"Welcome to Alice's doll shop," a voice like a yellow bird sounded.

Ye Lin looked at the short little Lori in front of her, who was also wearing a maid outfit with some surprise.

"Are you here to buy dolls? ”

Yelin nodded, then took out a small wooden card and handed it to Alice.

"Huh, this sign...... Please come with me. ”

Alice took the sign, turned around and put her hand on the head of a puppet next to her, Yelin only now had time to observe this puppet shop, the shelves of all sizes were placed with the same thing, dolls, dolls large and small, dolls made of different materials, vivid, they were all laughing, as if they were real people...... Except for lifeless......

A dark door appeared next to it, and when you entered, there was a dark and deep passage, and after passing through the dark passage, the eyes suddenly opened up, but it was unreal.

A larger passage, lined with a lot of stuff, countless fragmented dolls piled up here, but more often than not, some large cages that seemed to hold something inside.

"You...... Find it yourself, I can't help you, follow the heart, these are my failures, if no one wants them, they have only one fate...... It's destroyed, and getting that wooden card means that there is someone here who will become your lifelong bond, so you can do it yourself. ”

After saying that, Alice's figure disappeared, and she seemed to hate this place.

As soon as Alice left, figures began to appear in the cages that were originally pitch black, and a pair of eyes began to look at Yelin.

Those eyes with apprehension, expectation, hope, and fear, seem to be a ray of ethereal light in the darkness, even if it is out of reach, we must try our best to grasp it.

"The host...... Are you here to take me home? ”

In the cage closest to Ye Lin, a pair of shining eyes were looking at Ye Lin with anticipation, a white hand slowly stretched out from it, trembling slightly, how much I hoped that Ye Lin could hold her hand.

A white-haired girl, her neck was trapped by thick shackles, and the chains said that she was firmly bound, and her whole body was covered with bruises and blood, only the hand was white and flawless.

"The host ......"

The girl seemed to be very reluctant to be seen by Yelin now, and wanted to hide it as much as she could, but those chains prevented her from making any drastic movements, and when she saw Yelin's eyes, tears couldn't stop overflowing from her eyes.

"The host...... Isn't Bai'er's current appearance ugly...... Will the owner still want Bai'er...... Will you still take Bai'er home...... It's so dark here... I'm afraid..."

Ye Lin looked at the girl in front of her who claimed to be Bai'er, this is obviously a doll shop...... She's a doll, isn't she......

"I ...... Not your master. ”

Ye Lin turned around and left after speaking, she was not the person she was looking for......

There was an intermittent sobbing sound behind her, and it was clear that she was crying, why did this dimly lit place want to be so cold, the fragments of the puppet piled up in the corners, like a hill.

For a moment, Yelin actually felt that she was so cruel, and in the end, her life would be in this cold and dim place, like a candle in the wind, even if she tried to burn, she would eventually be blown out by the merciless yin wind, completely disappearing, and becoming a wreck......

"The host...... Why don't you want me, do you dislike Bai'er, Bai'er is not beautiful now, and the master doesn't like Bai'er...... Master...... Don't want me......"

Her voice faded down, and only the sound of staccato cries still lingered......

"Oh, am I a sinner, a puppet? Is this really a puppet? This guilt ......."

With unknown emotions, Ye Lin continued to move forward step by step, most of the things like feelings were abandoned by him a long time ago, even if he picked up some now, he still seemed a little..."ruthless"

These cages are full of dolls, Alice's "failures"

Another cage...... It was still pitch black inside, and there was also a white hand stretched out, trembling, as if afraid, afraid.

Ye Lin stepped forward, wanting to see the owner of the hand, but unfortunately, it was still dark, only the hand was constantly slowly approaching Ye Lin, cautiously, for fear that Ye Lin would escape in the next moment.

Finally, that hand touched the corner of Ye Lin's clothes, and after feeling it, the white and thin hand suddenly burst out with amazing strength, and directly pulled Ye Lin to the cage.

"Hee-hee-hee~ I caught you, you will be Xiaojin's master in the future~ yes! Xiaojin also has a master~~~ Xiaojin is not a garbage that no one wants. ”

Ye Lin finally saw the owner of the hand, a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes, as delicate as a doll, and her big smart eyes were exuding joy, looking at Ye Lin carefully.

"Master, can we go out now, it's so dark here, I'm a little scared, I heard that it's beautiful outside, there are a lot of fun and delicious food, will the host take me to play, will he buy me something to eat, will he take me...... Are you going home?"

The little girl in front of her seemed to believe that Yelin would take her out of here, but when she said the word "go home", her eyes flickered slightly.

"Master, why don't you speak~ You haven't answered Xiao Jin's question yet. ”

Xiao Jin's hand was still clutching Yelin's clothes, and her two big eyes kept staring at Yelin.

"Xiao Jin, I am not your master...... You're not the person I'm looking for. ”

Ye Lin was silent for a moment, and finally said slowly, it was really heavy, as if because of her words, there would be another discarded puppet.

"Ahh But I got you... I've got you, so you're my master... Could it be that the master doesn't want Xiaojin so soon... Woo woo... What can Xiao Jin do, if he can't learn quickly, don't abandon Xiao Jin... Jin doesn't have a master who will die... It really would... Dead. ”

............

"Uh-huh, interesting, that's what I like to watch the most, Yelin, what kind of struggle are you doing inside, guilt? can't bear it? Or do you just leave a little pity on them in order to find the bond of your life? I hope you won't come to me for trouble like some fools in the past. ”

Alice sat in the air, silently watching all this, and next to her was a little girl who was shorter than her, also dressed as a maid, and looked at Alice with a little fear in her eyes, and a disgust that was buried so deep that she was not even aware of it......
