Imagine a squeaky ghost ship, pushing open a wooden door in the deepest part of the hallway, a dim oil lamp flickering, flickering, and a headless figure in a goth dress sitting in front of a vanity mirror, holding its own head in its hands, which turns to you and slowly reveals a stiff smile......

Duncan felt that if he hadn't been on the ship for so many days, and had known Alice so well, he would have drawn his gun and gone up at this point.

Alice didn't know how evil the atmosphere was just now, she obediently pressed her head back to her neck, reacted quickly and regained her agility, and greeted Duncan with a bright smile: "Good evening, Captain!" Are you looking for me? ”

Duncan then froze and looked up and down the puppet suspiciously for a long time: "What are you doing here?" Why does the goathead say you count your hair in the cabin? ”

Alice moved her neck left and right, and gently smoothed her slightly messy hair with her fingers, and the expression on her face looked a little embarrassed: "That's it...... See how much hair is left. ”

Duncan looked at the puppet as if he were mentally retarded, and then finally noticed something on the edge of the table: it was a spool of thread that had been churned out of nowhere, and several silver-white strands of hair were wrapped around the spool, and the origin of the hair was obvious......

Duncan's face was expressionless: "......"

Alice noticed the captain's gaze, and she immediately picked up the spool and explained to Duncan with a serious face: "You see, this one is called Miffy, this one is called Pelly, this one is called Femiah, and this one is called ......."

Duncan was finally shocked: "You even named every hair you lost?!" ”

"Keep a souvenir," Alice said solemnly, solemnly with a little sorrow, "Didn't you say that I am a puppet, and dolls don't grow their own hair...... If one day it is gone, I can still hold the list and remember the good times I had with them......"

Duncan made the puppet a little blind, and even forgot what he was doing here for a while, and was stunned for a long time before he said: "I just said casually at the time, you don't have to take it to heart...... Anyway, it's no wonder you've been staying in the cabin for the past two days, and you've been doing this every day? Count your hair and give a name to the head that has fallen off? ”

Alice nodded harmlessly, "Uh-huh." ”

Duncan stiffened his face and sighed for a while: "Okay, I'll look for you in the city-state and see if there are any craftsmen who are good at this field to help you......"

Alice was taken aback: "You're going to tie people up and take them to the boat?" ”

Duncan glared at her, "...... I'll buy you some wigs to spare! The Infinite Sea Moves, the Scourge Runs, the Human City-State kidnaps a puppeteer, does this seem like a word? ”

"It's not like a mobile catastrophe to infiltrate the human city-state to buy a wig...... Alice muttered subconsciously, but as soon as she muttered halfway, she quickly swallowed it back, "Ah, I won't say it, hehe......"

"Don't be stupid," Duncan suddenly felt a sense of detachment, he waved his hand, and finally remembered the real purpose of his coming here, "Forget it, let you forget about the business - Alice, you sit down, I came to you for business." ”

Alice, knowing that this was not the time to joke, knew that this was not the time to joke as soon as she saw the captain's serious expression, and quickly restrained her flattering smile, and as she put away the spool, she quickly sat down on the wooden box beside the bed—sitting in a straight position, with her hands folded on her knees, full of grace and dignity.

Duncan sighed, for some reason, he was always easy to be broken in front of Alice - even when he first came to this world, he could remain indifferent and calm in front of the goat's head, and he could even hold his expression when he was attached to a fair-minded sacrifice and faced the remains all over the ground, but only in the face of this too evil puppet, his expression and momentum always wandered on the edge of collapse and non-collapse.

If you think about it carefully, this is probably the power of the painting style - Alice's painting style is really difficult to hold.

He hooked his finger to the side, and a chair in the room immediately creaked behind him, and he sat down in the chair, trying to restore his gloomy majesty to his expression, and looked into Alice's eyes.

"Ray Nora, what's your impression of the name?"

"Ray Nora?" Alice blinked, her face unpretentious confused, "Haven't heard of it...... Sounds like a woman? And there is a sense of elegance and nobility...... An acquaintance of yours? ”

"Theoretically, it should be your 'acquaintance', but you say you don't know ...... Well, I believe," Duncan replied not so surprisingly to Alice, and he went on to ask, "what about the Frost City-State?" Are you familiar? Do you have any impressions? ”

"Frost City-State? When I was in the box, I had heard that it seemed to be a city-state on the cold sea, and there was a place called Cold Harbor, which was the gateway to the Frost and the Central Sea," Alice thought for a moment, "but I don't know the specifics, so I've only heard the name." ”

"What about the 'Alice Guillotine'?"

The puppet looked confused: "Alice, I know, my name is Alice - but what is the guillotine?" ”

Duncan asked several questions in quick succession, but the response was much the same.

And this situation is basically what he expected.

Alice was confused about all of this, as she told herself on the first day of meeting, she had no idea about her past, she didn't know the truth behind "Anomaly 099", she didn't know about the Frost City-State, and she didn't know about the Frost Queen who died half a century ago.

Even if she looks exactly like the Frost Queen.

Duncan didn't expect to get many positive answers to these questions, he just wanted to see if Alice would react in any way when she heard the "keyword eyes" - now that the test was over, the doll was still the same silly doll.

He believed that this cowardly puppet would not dare to disguise her true reaction in front of him - her intelligence should not have supported her to carry out such a high-end operation.

So...... Maybe I should not focus on the puppet, but the "coffin"?

Duncan's eyes slowly sharpened, and his attention fell on Alice's ornate heavy wooden box.

The ornate wooden box that had once been used to hold the doll was still in the room, and now Alice sat securely on it.

Alice loved her suitcase, which she used as a stool and locker, and sometimes slept in it, despite the normal beds in the room.

"You open the box and let me see it." Duncan said.

Alice felt a little confused, but quickly jumped off the box and opened the wooden box casually.

Duncan stepped forward to look.

The wooden box was lined with soft red velvet, and in the corner there were a few miscellaneous items: a comb, a spool of hair entwined, a small mirror, and a few metal trinkets.

"I found it from the ship, in another cabin," Alice explained carefully, pointing to the clutter in the corner of the box, "I asked Mr. Goathead, and he said it was ownerless, and I ...... Can I keep it? I think they're beautiful......"

Duncan looked at the old ornaments.

Perhaps a century ago, there were people on this ship who wore them in their hair and on their chests.

It is a certificate that the Lost Country once belonged to the world.

"I've got you, keep it," Duncan nodded, but then his eyes suddenly noticed a small object in the clutter pile, and couldn't help but reach out and pick it up, "This thing ......"

It was a small hairpin, delicate that didn't look like something that would appear on the Lost Country, it was shaped like a silvery-white feather with a few broken waves around the edges, and it was still as new as it had been a century later—unlike the old ones.

Duncan frowned, for some reason, when he saw this hairpin, he was faintly ...... in his heart Miss.

There's even a name that almost blurts out.

But he could never remember what the name he was going to blurt out was.

Duncan blinked, he was a little stunned, he didn't know what was going on with the feelings that suddenly appeared in his heart, but gradually, he understood.

As soon as he arrived on this ship, he knew the name "Duncan Abnomar...... He had just come into contact with the remaining "echoes" of his own body again!

He looked down at the hairpin in his hand, thinking about how such a delicate and small thing could "resonate" with the biggest natural disaster on the boundless sea, but soon, Alice's voice woke him up from his thoughts: "Captain? Captain, you ......"

"I'm sorry, I can't give you this hairpin," Duncan said to Alice, but then he thought it was a bit hard for Miss Doll, and added, "I'll go to the city-state and buy you some new ones when I get the chance—they're all old." ”

"Really?!" Alice suddenly showed a look of surprise, "Captain, you are so good! ”

"Don't be too busy boasting just yet," Duncan shook his head and put the card away, "We're not done yet...... Alice, I'm going to tell you something about your 'essence', and you have to listen carefully. ”
