End of the Old Era.

Before the weirdness came, everything seemed peaceful and joyful.

At the banquet, singing and dancing, and the glamorous lights hide charming desires and temptations, human sin is not necessarily better than weird madness.

The children are still innocent, playing in the doll shop, and sometimes when they see a doll they like, they will beg their mother to buy it for them.

A slightly vicissitudes and tired woman walks into Carter's doll shop with her young daughter, a well-known doll shop that is so fine that even the folds on the skirt must be realistic, and the flannel is woven with velvet and silk, a real royal and aristocratic brand.

Such a high-end toy store seemed out of place with this down-and-out woman, so the staff did not show the usual enthusiasm, but still showed a professional smile: "Madam, please choose as you like." ”

The little girl pouted, she had just come out of school, and the children there showed off the expensive new toys that their parents had bought for them, while she only had mud dolls, which made the young children feel embarrassed and begged their mother to buy them a delicate doll.

What to choose? The girl is looking to choose a doll that is unique and unique, so that she can stand out from the crowd.

The dolls with generous or subtle expressions, luxurious or elegant clothes could not attract the girl's attention, she thought that these dolls were too ordinary.

Suddenly, she found a doll that stood out from the rest.

What a beautiful doll is that? Every trace of texture on the pleated skirt is finely detailed, wearing small foreign shoes, wearing a bowler hat, each of the long silver hair is as thin as a cloud, with her eyes closed, lying quietly in the independent shelf, and in the corner of this puppet's eye, a cinnabar tear hangs.

"I want this!"

The girl was excited, this doll with long silver hair and silver dress with sad eyes closed looked so out of place in a pile of festive tickling dolls, this was the doll in her mind.

A warm voice came from behind the shelves: "Little sister, can you tell me why you chose this puppet?" ”

The girl looked up at the man in the yellow robe, whose face was not clearly visible under the yellow robe, as if he was wearing a pale smiling mask.

"Who are you?" The girl took two steps back with some nervousness.

"I'm the owner of this toy store." The man in the yellow robe introduced himself like this, he was humble and polite like a gentleman, and he quickly won the girl's favor.

"So, the strange boss in a yellow robe and a mask, the reason why I want this doll is because I think she is different." The girl spoke her mind unabashedly.

The woman found her child in the sea of toys and hurriedly stepped forward to protect her, while apologetically saying, "Sorry, manager, the child is a little naughty." ”

"It's okay," the store manager looked at the girl with those eyes hidden under the mask, like an old nobleman, with a romantic and elegant temperament, "You are very cute, child, I like children, just like spring loves grass, then, I can give you this doll, before that, please listen to me tell me a story." ”

"What's the story?" The girl was happy, "I like to listen to stories. ”

"Shh," the store manager put a finger to his lips and motioned to keep quiet, "Listen to me......"

......

Once upon a time, a great kingdom lived a great puppeteer.

He was in charge of making the dolls for the king's court, and the dolls he made were so lifelike that the king liked them so much that he filled the palace with those dolls.

These dolls are so beautiful, they can not only sing, dance and even play basketball, except that they have no heart, they are no different from people.

One day, the enemy country attacked, and the puppet army made by the puppeteer easily defeated the enemy army.

He was revered as a hero, and the whole nation cheered for him, calling his craft a gift from God.

The king himself crowned him and gave him a glorious name - Jabba Walker.

Jabba Walker! The puppeteer was grateful for the king's surname, and he vowed to make a perfect puppet, a puppet with a heart.

The puppeteer took great pains and spent many years to take the down feathers of the divine bird on the clouds to make fabric, find the branches of the sacred tree that reached the sky to make the body, steal the pearl of the dwarf king as the heart, and go to the king's palace to trace the facial features.

A perfect doll was born, with long hair as soft as a cloud, soft and beautiful curves like distant mountains in spring, beautiful face as flowers in summer, a moving look as touching as the evening breeze in autumn, and a warm heart like a bonfire in winter.

However, the puppeteer could not find an eye worthy of the puppet.

So he could only let the doll close her eyes and feel sad and lonely, and treasure her in his cupboard, no longer selling it to the outside world, but left the kingdom to find the most beautiful glass in the world to use as a doll's eyes.

Unfortunately, the puppeteer did not return in the end, and he died in the mouth of the giant serpent who guarded the treasure.

This doll is his last posthumous work.

......

"Later, after several rounds, this unfinished doll came to my hands."

The store manager pointed to the silver-haired doll with closed eyes and sadness, and his tone was a little lonely.

It was clear that he admired the puppeteer.

His words seemed to be magical, and they were so eloquent and moving that everyone listened to them and felt sorry for the puppeteer who had pursued perfection.

"Wow," the girl wiped tears from her eyes, "he's so pitiful, he didn't finish this great work in the end." ”

"It's not a pity to die pursuing your dreams," the store manager said with a smile, "Kid." The real sorrow is to die in confusion without knowing your dreams and drifting with the flow. ”

The girl didn't understand what he was saying, so she immediately left it behind and looked at the eyeless doll: "So can you give her to me now?" ”

"Of course," the manager's tone suddenly became serious, "but you must swear to this doll that you will never leave her." ”

"Hmm!" The girl nodded vigorously, "I will!" ”

The store manager touched her head: "Good boy, if you don't abandon her, then she will protect you, if you abandon her, then she will hate you, you must not break your oath?" ”

Even the woman knew that the shopkeeper was telling fairy tales, but the child was convinced: "I will, I will never abandon her!" ”

"Haha," the manager smiled, "goodbye then, nice to meet you." ”

The child picked up the doll and was about to leave, when he suddenly turned around and asked, "What's her name, and what about you?" ”

"Ah......h ”

"As for me," the store manager touched his chest with his hand and bowed, "I have nine billion names, but only one name is true, let me think about it, my name is ......"

"[Hasta]"

......

"That's it~"

The girl stuffed two colored marbles into the doll's eye sockets, and for a moment, ordinary marbles seemed to come to life.

The left is purple and the right is golden, it is really a gorgeous eye color, and with long hair like mercury, it does have a strange beauty.

The girl excitedly watched this work be completed under her own hands, and happily hugged her: "You will always be with me from now on~"

The puppet did not speak, and the cinnabar tears in the corners of his eyes carried a kind of melancholy as always.

Does the puppet also know that being together forever is just the most beautiful lie?

......

Time has passed, the girl has grown into a girl, met her own love, and the family is ready to relocate.

While disposing of the old things, the girl found the beautiful doll in the attic, which had been in the clutter pile for many years, and was still beautifully impressive.

"It's time to go," the boyfriend cried downstairs, "and throw away all the useless stuff." ”

The girl hesitated for a long time, she vaguely remembered the oath, but it was just ......

"I'm not that little girl anymore, someone has promised to be with me, bye-bye."

The doll was abandoned and left in the clutter of the little attic, watching its owner leave.

The heart made of the dwarven king's pearl began to beat violently.

"Go...... Die! ”

......

When the girl came home, she always felt that something was wrong.

Recently, everyone around me seems to be enchanted, mechanical and dull, and the Q&A is also like a puppet.

The boyfriend sleeps next to him, and he behaves most abnormally, even acting like a robot in every move.

It's like a doll......

Pushing her boyfriend's body, his breathing was even like a machine, once a second, never too much and never too much.

At this time, her boyfriend's mouth suddenly murmured.

The murmur was very small, and the girl leaned close to listen:

"Why leave me, why leave me ......"

The girl was shocked, and a cold feeling pierced her back, and she hurriedly tried to shake her boyfriend awake, but her boyfriend did not respond.

The girl panicked, turned on the light, turned her boyfriend around, and a chill rushed to her head.

The original soft skin has turned into dry and hard wood, and the vivid face has become rigid facial features.

Boyfriend turned into a doll!

"Click-"

The door opened, and someone came in by moonlight.

It was a girl who was so beautiful that she couldn't describe it in words.

She wore a top hat and a fine little Lolita dress, and her little boots stepped briskly down the corridor like a waltz.

The silver-haired girl walked up to the girl, lifted her chin, and sighed: "Master, you gave me eyes, why do you always let me enjoy the darkness in the attic where there is no daylight?" ”

Her pupils are magnificent and thrilling, purple on the left and gold on the right.

As soon as she raised her hand, her fingertips connected thin silk threads that ran through the girl's body.

"You also taste the taste of being a puppet, my master, I will never leave you~ Haha, do you believe it?"
