The puppet shop didn't give Liu Mengchao a good feeling, just like walking alone in the downtown area, but the surroundings suddenly quieted down. There was no feeling of summer heat, but gusts of cold wind blowing around me.

Everyone around was smiling, smiling expressionlessly.

Liu Mengchao stopped and watched carefully. Surrounding dolls.

In the dimly lit indoor twilight, some are standing, some are sitting, and some are lying down. Some opened their eyes as if they were frightened, some fell into deep thought with their eyelids half-closed, and some fell into a deep sleep......

Most of the dolls were made to look like beautiful girls, but there were also teenagers and animals. There are also some things that use the shape of mixing man and beast.

Not only the dolls, but also many paintings are hung on the walls.

In other words, these figures, along with the paintings and the lights, create a quiet and cold atmosphere. Liu Mengchao knew that these puppets were inanimate objects, but in a trance, Liu Mengchao still felt that on the other side of the world, there was a group of beings who were weakly connecting their souls with themselves through these dolls.

"Really...... Unexpectedly. ”

Liu Mengchao continued to walk forward, he had reached the end, but the end was not a wall, it was a small staircase. There was also a small note attached to it.

"Please go this way."

Liu Mengchao smiled slightly and decided to follow the instructions in front of him.

It's the basement.

As soon as I got down the stairs, a basement full of dolls appeared in front of Liu Mengchao. Although he didn't feel much about the heat and cold, Liu Mengchao still felt a chill, as if he had suddenly arrived in an ice cellar, and the biting, slow cold air immediately floated around him.

The lighting wasn't much different.

Liu Mengchao raised his head and looked at the lights around him. It's still dusk, and the dim lights seem to be a little whiter than the upstairs.

"Legs...... Hand...... Arm ......" Liu Mengchao stopped, looked at the things on the table, and read their names one after another, "Head, body." ”

Not only on the card table, but also on the chair and the window, Liu Mengchao found that wherever his eyes could touch, there were all the limbs of this kind of puppet.

Like a haunted house in an amusement park, Liu Mengchao found that as long as he lowered his head or focused a little, it was easy to find a hand or a foot in the gap. Most of the dolls here are unfinished, but Liu Mengchao, who walked to the center of the basement, looked around him, and everything here had a wonderful beauty.

It feels like shattered stained glass, assembled into a wonderful abstract painting. Although it may not meet the aesthetics of most people, it has a unique charm in itself.

Then again.

Liu Mengchao stopped in front of his favorite puppet.

Her appearance is very similar to the girl shown in the window. Missing only his right wrist, a man stood alone in the alcove.

Call......

Liu Mengchao breathed a long sigh of relief and shook his head. Keep walking. Standing in front of the puppet just now, Liu Mengchao always felt in a trance, but the right wrist that had fallen was turning into the cold wind in the basement, slowly and gently caressing his face.

The basement is not big, at least not as big as Liu Mengchao imagined.

He has come to the end.

Looking at the last exhibit at the end, Liu Mengchao couldn't help laughing.

It was a coffin, a large Western-style coffin, and it was quietly waiting in front of Liu Mengchao at the moment, waiting for him to get close to her.

Walking in, Liu Mengchao looked at the puppet in the coffin. …,
