"It's also a price increase?" Summer Night asked.

"Of course, a 200% markup. In addition, the prices of other materials we need have also risen to varying degrees. ”

After the skirmishing that broke out just now, the front line calmed down again, and the group no longer stopped, and under the leadership of Curran, flew towards the dock behind the "Far Ship Rental" building.

"So our Moores have been depleting very quickly lately, right?" Summer Night continued to ask.

"Well, so while it looks like we're able to hold the front and there are very few casualties, it's not really good." Curran said, "People don't necessarily die if they are killed, but there is no magic will, maybe this is what some people in Uptown think, slowly squeeze us dry, and eventually we will naturally perish......"

She was about to say something more when two witches wearing the uniforms of the "Far Ship Rental" company suddenly flew in front of her, stopping the group in mid-air, apparently the sentries in charge of patrolling around.

"Chairman Curran?" One of them asked politely.

"It's me." A Curran replied.

The other party nodded, but did not let everyone pass, but said, "Please wait." ”

After another moment, Summer Night saw another figure flying in from a distance, and it turned out to be Curran again.

The new Curran looked at the other two girls who looked exactly like her, and none of them spoke, but Summer Night could clearly see that in their blue eyes, lines of extremely small runes flashed quickly.

After about five seconds, the three Currans said at the same time: "No problem, the verification is passed, let's go." ”

The group, led by Curran, flew forward again.

"Just now?" Summer Night said curiously.

"Prevent a fake me from getting in."

One of them, Curran, explained—I don't know if it was the new one or the previous two, but it was no longer clear what the summer night was.

“…… Uptown has a contract for making and manipulating dolls, and although it is not the same on the inside, it is difficult to see it from the outside, at least from the outside. There was a fake one that I slipped into the dockyard and almost blew up the unfinished Moby Dick, but luckily one of them I found it and destroyed it in time. Later, Susha helped me install a verification function, which was a bit troublesome because it needed to be close to work, but at least it prevented that from happening again. ”

"I see...... "Summer Night tilted her head and thought for a moment, "so you're really not a puppet?" ”

Curran glanced at her, and suddenly reached out, grabbed the palm of Summer Night's right hand, and pressed it to his chest.

“？！”

"Is it soft?"

In the look of surprise on the summer night, Curran asked.

“…… Soft. ”

Summer Night replied very honestly - although it was not big, it was indeed very real and soft to the touch, and "not big" was only relative, and it seemed to be a little bigger than her own.

Before she could react, another Curran had already squeezed to her side, grabbed her left hand, and pressed it to her chest.

"Hey! Curran! From behind her, Lilian's anxious voice could be heard.

When the summer night looked back, she found that the girl was being blocked by the last Curron, and she couldn't fly for a while.

“……”

Curron, who was beside him, ignored Lillian and asked Summer Night again, "Is it soft?" ”

“R…… Huh? ”

Xia Ye was about to answer, but suddenly found that what came from the palm of his left hand turned out to be a hard and cold feeling.

Both Curran pushed both of her hands back at the same time.

"Because my chest is from the original body." Curran on the right said.

"And mine isn't." The road on the left.

“……”

In the midst of Summer Night's astonished gaze, one of Currons went on to explain, "My original body was dismantled, one by one, used as the core of each of me, while the rest of my body came from the modified 'Heinekan Contract'. ”

So you're still a puppet...... Summer Night Thoughts.

As if guessing her thoughts, Curren continued: "Actually, I was not all flesh and blood in the past, one of my hands was the prosthetic hand of Heinekan's creation, and the rest was flesh and blood; Now, a small part of my body is flesh and blood, and the rest is a Heinekan creation. The proportions are different, but in essence, I'm not the same as I used to be, am I? ”

"Oh, you have a point." Summer Night said in a tone without any ups and downs.

Curran pretended not to hear her perfunctory and announced the conclusion categorically: "So, I'm not a doll!" ”

Xia Ye was about to complain, but Lilian interjected first: "Sister Xia Ye, in fact, Curran asked Sister Susha to forcibly dismantle her body, and she looked like she was dismembered that day...... I think it's ...... just by looking at it I think it's very, very scary. ”

“……”

Summer Night suddenly swallowed what she wanted to say into her stomach, and she looked at Curran with an inquiring gaze.

"Because the 'Aether Exploration' was suddenly wanted, I urgently needed to improve my strength at that time, but Su Sha's research on the Flower Witch had not yet had time to improve, so I had to ask her to use a more brutal method to turn me into a Flower Witch."

Curran didn't deny it, but he didn't show any other emotion, just stated the facts in a flat tone.

Xia Ye was silent for a few seconds before he spoke softly: "I'm sorry, if it weren't for my ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Curran.

"It does have something to do with you." The doll-looking girl said, "If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have fallen out with the Venture Capital Seven; If it weren't for you, my company and I wouldn't be on the wanted list today. In addition, I will not use that method to turn myself into a flower witch in advance in order to protect you, who has slept for a whole month inexplicably......

"But—"

Curran suddenly smiled, and Summer Night was surprised to find that the smile was so vivid, as if the girl's whole person had regained her past flesh and blood.

"But I'm happy." The girl grinned, "Because I can see that the guys in Uptown must be very unhappy these days, and the more unhappy they are, the happier I am—I've been unhappy with them for a long time, but I've always told myself not to hit a stone with an egg, because that would only smash me to pieces with what I think was heroic, and the other person might not feel it at all." So I've always been content to follow the rules of the game they set and not do those 'stupid things'.

"Until I met you...... And somehow it came to this, and we weren't broken, we might still be an egg, but at least a hard egg, and even the guys in Uptown couldn't crush us easily.

"So I want to say to you...... Thank you. I express my sincerest gratitude to you, Summer Night. ”

Summer Night has never seen Curran show such an expression, usually Curran is like a safe, you can only see the expression she wants you to see, and the rest are locked in a thick cabinet by her.

But now, the safe suddenly became a glass case, and all the emotions in the girl's heart could be seen at a glance on the summer night, at least at this moment—those depression, anger, unwillingness, and heartfelt joy and joy, and ......

Suddenly, the glass turned into thick steel again, obscuring Curran's thoughts. Although the girl still maintained a beautiful smile, her long, curled eyelashes narrowed into a pair of crescents, but the feeling of a summer night turned into a mist again.

The girl put her finger on her slender minibus and said, "So, to express my gratitude, if Lord Summer Night is interested in doll pets, I will be happy to give you two......"

Before she could finish speaking, Lillian interrupted her:

"Lord Curran~ I was obviously talking to you just now! But if you had to do it, I'd be so angry that I'd explode." ”

"Don't blow up." Xia Ye hurriedly said, "Even if you two have a lot of bodies, you can't waste it like this, it's better to leave ......it to me than this."

Lillian, Curran...... and Tang Li glared at her together.

Fortunately, this situation was broken within a few seconds, and another Curran suddenly pointed forward:

"We're here, it's the New Moby Dick!"

Turning his head at the sound of the summer night, a huge ship suddenly came into view. It's not finished outfitting yet, but even that is enough to shock everyone who sees it for the first time. Summer Night only felt a "bang" in her heart, and suddenly put the quarrel between Curran and Lillian behind her-

This is exactly the ship she imagined! The curved hull of the ship, the towering ship island, and the extremely wide flat deck...... They actually made it!

Bang——! Bang——!

A crisp and pleasant sound came from the direction of the ship, and it was the sound of the Strike Witch ejecting and taking off. A black tentacle monster hovered in the center of the deck, its massive body occupying a full fifth of the deck area, and it was its tentacles that pulled the catapult frame, like a slingshot, and ejected the Strike Witches off the deck one by one. Summer Night was stunned for a few seconds before she realized that it was her cat, Xiu.

I haven't seen it for a month, and it has gained a lot of weight.
