Chapter 1: If You Suddenly Become a Puppet

Next Chapter

[Your role: puppet]

【Performance venue: Yamato-kuna Town】

[Since it is your first time playing, make sure you are well prepared]

[Perspective: Ning Xiuyuan] (limited to novice scripts)

[You are a crippled puppet, and you will also be spread in this town...... Strange talk. 】

【… Please, start your show】

………………

Of course, the man is not in a good mood these days, and when he comes back drunk at night, he hits his daughter when he doesn't like it.

His wife divorced him, and the court awarded his daughter to him, so he transferred his resentment against his wife to his daughter.

The man went to drink again today, and was so drunk that he stood in the doorway for a while before he remembered to open the door.

"Squeak... Ga. ”

The man entered the door, and the light was in a trance so that he couldn't see clearly, but he could still feel that the ground was not clean.

The man vomited, and the wine sobered up a little.

"Little... Small brute, the ground is not ...... Cleaned up? I... I'm going to beat you to death today. He looked around menacingly, clenching his fists.

“… Well? …… What about the little brute? The man was a little stunned, and the wine dissipated a little.

"Click"

The light suddenly went out, and the man shook his head.

"Oh, baby, so you're here!"

The man said this, and let out a few inexplicable laughs, shaking his way to the light switch.

When it came to the switch, no one stood there, pressed the switch, but the light didn't come on.

The window that opened at some point blew the curtains and danced, and the cold wind blew from the window and caressed the man.

The man shivered with cold, the wine gradually subsided, and he didn't know when it started to rain outside.

"Boom... Takashi"

The light of lightning illuminated the dark room, and figures danced behind the curtains, and then the light went out.

[Fear of the intimidated character increases]

The man was a little stunned in his heart, maybe the wine had not yet woken up, or maybe because of the authority he had established in front of his daughter for a long time, he took a step forward.

"Oops, little baby, come out, Daddy is very good to you"

Then the man hurried forward, imagining a shivering little girl hiding behind the curtains.

However, he was wrong, there was no shivering little girl behind the curtain, but a doll that could strongly arouse people's fear.

The doll sits in the window, facing him, and his still body language only startles him.

[Fear of the intimidated character increases]

A dark and confined environment can often magnify the horror, and the man feels that something cold has walked around his neck.

"Click"

The lights in the room came on, the puppet disappeared, the dancing curtains, the pouring rain, and the fear that the puppet gave him began to subside.

The man gasped heavily, obviously he had been frightened by what had just happened, and now he had no trace of alcohol.

"Click"

The man's vision returned to darkness, something creaking against the ground, and he didn't know what was happening.

[Fear of the intimidated character increases]

Man's imagination in the dark is extremely rich, the source of the sound, what a mouse has moved, a female corpse hanging from a beam of the house smiling at him, or someone smiling at him sharpening a knife?

"Boom... Takashi"

The lightning briefly illuminated the room again, the man's eyes turned horrified, and the figure sat on the couch, tilting its head and smiling.

It has only one eye, and cotton wool crawls out of the puppet's body in the hollow place of the other eye, like a wire worm, twisted.

Something cold caresses a man's neck, like killing a chicken, and before slitting the throat of the chicken to bleed, the hair must be cleaned there.

[The fear of the intimidated characters has increased dramatically.]

Status: Shocked]

"Click"

The light re-entered the man's pupils, and he moved his frozen legs, trying to get out of here.

"Knock"

The man's forehead hit the ground hard, something mixed his foot, it was cold, he hurriedly retracted his leg, but did not return.

He turned to face the couch, and the cotton wool that had grown out of nowhere crawled up his feet.

"Click"

The lights went out, maybe it was the last time it was on.

"Boom...... Takashi"

Lightning lit up the room, and the ground was a puppet sitting obediently, tilting its head and laughing, and cotton wool spread out of it and wrapped around the man.

There was a man standing in front of him.

The brief light went out, and the cold touch was like a snake, hovering around his neck, the sharp touch against the man's throat.

It's like you're about to start sawing wood.

The cotton wool wrapped tightly around his body, a pair of arms groped up, and the man's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and met a pair of bloodshot eyes.

- It's his daughter.

"Help me, please," the man pleaded, begging for his daughter.

"Have you forgotten? Since my mother left, you don't seem to have treated me as a daughter. ”

She smiled.

The cold wind poured in, and the man's eyes seemed to be pierced, sinking into his eye sockets, and tears welled up.

Lips move slightly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry"

【Character Confession】

[The script is complete.]

Regression: Yes/No]

Ning Xiuyuan silently thought in his heart, yes.

The girl in the room also seemed to sense something, staring at the doll.

"Thank you."

When she said this, she didn't know how to express her inner feelings, so she could only say thank you.

Ning Xiuyuan shook his head and repented? It's temporary, if time erases the fear, everything will be the same.

Thank you? Don't thank me, treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Darkness like a tide surged up to cover Ning Xiuyuan's vision, and the words emerged line by line:

[Name: Ning Xiuyuan]

[Character played in this script: mutilated puppet]

[Feature: Manipulation: You freely manipulate your own line]

[Storyline narration: After Mitsujiro Ishii divorced his wife, he abused his daughter, and his daughter prayed for change, fortunately, he met you]

[Perspective]: Ning Xiuyuan

[Audience Evaluation]: ■■,■■... ■■■■ (Error occurred)

[Reward: [Human Skin Mask]...... ■■(Error occurs)】

[Return: Stage]

The words faded away, and finally disappeared from view, and then the light, the vision began to brighten.

There was a feeling of rubble on his back, it was gravel, Ning Xiuyuan opened his eyes, moved his somewhat stiff fingers, and then stood up.

Where he lay was a huge stage floating in the air, and in the distance was an endless starry sky.

The feeling of being a puppet is still different from being a person, and Ning Xiuyuan played a puppet for nearly three days in the script.

It's amazing, this feeling.

Ning Xiuyuan put aside distracting thoughts and recalled his past.

He died, and then after crossing the silence of death, Ning Xiuyuan came here, the broken stage, the floating boulders, and the hideous steel forest in the starry sky in the distance.

He thought he was dreaming.

It's not his fault, the stage, the boulders, the city floating in the distance, and the brilliant starry sky, anyone who sees it will think that they are in a dream.

Maybe it's just a scientist who has his brain cut off from his body and put it in a vat of nutrient solutions that keep the brain alive. The nerve endings of the brain are connected to a computer, which is programmed to send information to the brain in order to keep it hallucinating that everything is completely normal.

Then, a huge curtain falls on the stage, on which words appear asking him to participate in a play called "Doll".

So he participated, and now it's over.

Shaking his head, Ning Xiuyuan silently recited the [Human Skin Mask], and then a piece of warm human face skin fell into his hand.

It seemed to want to attach itself to Ning Xiuyuan's body, and then grow through his nutrients, consciously telling him so.

Text on the retina appears:

【Human Skin Mask】

[I can be anyone, but I can also be myself]

[Positive: I can be anyone.]

When you wear it, you can become anyone in the other person's senses.

Against: I can be myself.

When you wear it, you will subtly become the one who provides the human skin mask]

Judging from the descriptive words of "script" and "play", he estimated that he would have to enter the next script, and the role of this prop could be played.

There are side effects, it's a guy who doesn't want to die and wants to borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul, this dog thing.

Ning Xiuyuan threw this mask into a corner and re-examined the finished interface.

After the [Human Skin Mask], there is a ■■I don't know what it is, and there is a word that an error has occurred at the end.

Then claim it.

Ning Xiuyuan's face was shocked, and a puppet arrived in his hands.

An eye is missing, and cotton wool spreads over the hollow eye.

Gan! Isn't that the role he just played?

【Doll Brie】

[Description: Mary Shaw's young work]

[Feature: Manipulation: You freely manipulate the line that belongs to the puppet itself]

[Note: There is a node that can be used to go to a remote town]

!!!

There is a question that many people discuss on Zhihu: What do you do if you have superpowers?

Don't mention the side effects of the previous mask, this puppet has no side effects, hey, and he's familiar with this ability.

[This existence does not match the current reward (confusion) and is being reclaimed......]

Blah, blah, blah, what are you doing, hey?

Sometimes I don't cherish it when I get it, and I regret it when I lose it, people......

【…… Mistake...... Failed to retract ......]

The subtitle stuck and didn't move again, and then gradually disappeared on the retina.

Ning Xiuyuan lifted the puppet up, Lord protected you today, you have to know Thanksgiving, do you know?

Well??

There is a sparkling icon underneath the retina:

You have a letter.

【Open or Not】

Be.

Distorted characters emerged from the retina, and Ning Xiuyuan wanted to light a cigarette.

Dear Mr. Actor,

Zhan Xinjia, you are probably dead, this is the stage, you can experience the life of different people, provided that you don't even have the right to die until they get bored, in fact, until they get bored.

By the time you read this letter, I was already dead, because there can only be one performer on stage: that is, I have already received the death I hoped.

Next, you will go into the script, dance for Them, please Them, and finally, good luck.

No payment, no time.

Just tell you, you have to work for a group of people indefinitely, what a big capitalist, you don't even have the right to die, you can't imagine, eternal life and eternity 007 until the end of the world......

It's strange, Ning Xiuyuan didn't feel bored, and someone else suddenly came over to tell you:

You're dead, and you're going to work for someone else until the end of the world, you're a little unnatural, aren't you?

The curtain of the stage fell, blocking out the light outside, and then the words that emitted light appeared.

[Second Script: "Autumn Reunion"

Genre: Youth Love ............】

Wait, wait, are you sure it's a young love?

Ning Xiuyuan was stunned.
