Ms. Duja pinched her hand on her heart, controlling her strength and pinching it hard, and the flesh and heart were pinched and deformed.

The heart made a 'snap' bubble cracking sound, and the remaining blood was squeezed out, splashing on the edge of the jar and sliding down to the bottom, where a layer of bright red viscous blood accumulated.

As all the blood is squeezed out, the beating of the heart decreases, but it still beats again.

Its tiny blood vessels, severed, were bound together by a silk thread, the other end of which was attached to Ms. Duja's finger.

She shook her fingers so lightly that the silk thread made her heart beat, as if giving it life.

"Red blood...... Fresh Blood...... This is exactly what I need... Hehe. ”

In the dim candlelight, Ms. Duja's tone was quiet.

"We also need albumen crystals, corpse powder, the silk of the cursed spider, and the cervical vertebrae of people!"

A pigeon with a white towel around its neck flails its wings and says a lot of material.

The other pigeons also have something to say, they chirp.

"I think we have to change the combination this time, at least we can't use marble, its magic conductivity is too poor."

"Why don't you get rid of your corpse powder? It's useless at all! ”

"Corpse powder can give the mystery of the resurrection of the puppet! It's a great discovery, slut! ”

"Alright, alright...... Don't make any noise. ”

A white dove with gold-rimmed glasses grabbed a drawing with his paws and placed it under the candlelight.

There is a diagram of the structure of a human skeleton in the drawing, but it is different from the real person, this is the structure of the puppet.

"New Breakthrough ......"

Lady Duggard muttered in a low voice, she looked very carefully.

The golden dove jumped to the skull in the upper left corner of the drawing: "Duja! This time I tried not to use marble, its shortcomings were too serious. ”

Ms. Dujat's expression was gloomy:

"But...... To replace the marble, you have to choose a material as the main material of the doll, what to choose? ”

The golden-threaded pigeon pushed a pale gray stone, and Ms. Duja looked at it carefully and asked:

"Calcite?"

She latched onto a stone with a silk thread, dipped it in blood, and after a moment's wait, nodded slightly.

The experiment began.

Lady Durja and a flock of pigeons beside her in the chamber did not notice Ian and Alice behind the walls of the stone statues.

……

……

Ian and Alice are hiding in the deep chamber.

Ian hugged Alice in his arms and reached out to cover her mouth, leaning his back against the wall of the chamber.

"It's dangerous......" he sighed inwardly.

Ms. Duggard really knew Alice's character, and when she entered the door, she called Alice's name first.

Alice had to respond habitually, but Ian was quick to avoid the failure of the stealth mission for such a ridiculous reason.

Then, Alice realized that she had just been almost exposed, and she felt a little guilty in her heart.

But when she wanted to apologize, she found herself being held by Ian, covering her mouth and in the dark.

What she wanted to say was suddenly overwhelmed by a serious sense of shame, and she grabbed Ian's arm tightly.

"Ms. Durga seems to be making dolls?"

Ian doesn't notice Alice's change, he places the soundproofing gem and talks to Alice.

"Just listen...... I'm not satisfied, I'll have to find a way to take a peek and maybe get some information. ”

"If Ms. Duggard is making some forbidden dolls, it is tantamount to confirming her crime, and the next investigation can be carried out above board."

Alice listened to Ian's words, perhaps explaining to her the reasonableness of her actions.

However, Alice had no other ideas at all.

She just nodded blankly, then lowered her head and remained silent.

"With the blur of the seagull? No, blur is not a panacea. ”

"But other abilities can't help, and this wall is too tightly closed, leaving no cracks at all."

Ian was looking at the wall, and even if he did get closer, he couldn't see through the scenery on the other side.

All he could hear was the voice coming from outside, Ms. Duggard was chatting with someone, and it looked familiar.

Someone else out there?

Ian clicked on the minimap, and Ms. Duggard's marker appeared, with some green dots around her and a line between her.

This means...

His gaze saw his own mark, and he also had a line with Alice.

The line means "minion", which can be a summon, a dominating unit, a slave, and all unfree units will have a line to connect with the master.

"Not human? Is it a puppet? ”

Ian could only imagine the possibility.

In addition to Alice, Ms. Durga also made other dolls.

He lowered his head and looked at Alice, who was in a daze.

"Lack of maintenance?" He asked.

Alice hurriedly shook her head: "No... No. ”

Ian writes:

"Ms. Duggard seems to have created other dolls, I'm afraid they are similar to you, with a growing soul."

Another puppet?

This news made Alice stunned, and she looked at Ian and saw that the other party was serious.

The sound from outside came to her ears, and Alice only felt cold.

"Mother...... Are there any other daughters? ”

So what is she? Waste?

"It may be so, or there may be other reasons, and you can't easily draw conclusions until you know the truth."

Ian replied that he was still looking for a way to see through the walls, walking around the chamber in circles.

Alice became silent, her head hanging to the ground, and this time she was overly sad.

"Do you suspect that Lady Duggard doesn't want you anymore?" Ian asked.

"Obviously, that's right." Alice said word by word.

At this time, she had a little bit of the cold expression on the other party's face when she saw Ms. Du Jia just now.

Ian had to admit that even though Alice was cute and much better than Ms. Durgar, the two were not like each other at all.

But as a doll Alice with memories of Ms. Durgar's 16 years old, in a sense, Alice's personality is the same as that of Ms. Durgar's childhood.

With the same pigment and the same foundation, the pattern painted is similar to the original picture.

The only difference is...

"Not necessarily, at least Ms. Dujia is just 'freeing' you now, not not not wanting you."

Ian said, "Of course...... That's pretty much it. ”

"You don't have to give up on yourself, if you have anything to say, you can ask in person, tomorrow."

In many cases, the simplest solution to a contradiction is to meet face-to-face, and after the negotiation is completed, the contradiction is resolved, and the contradiction is deepened.

But in any case, talk is the simplest solution, and it is the least likely to be accidentally hidden and lead to misunderstandings.

Alice thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

Ian tells Alice about his desire to 'peek'.

Alice enters the psychological profile again, and she is now a little emotionally unstable and has become more like Ms. Duggard.

It's easier for her to profile than before, but Ian looks at Alice's gloomy face as she enters the state, and she is secretly speechless.

Oh no, the conflict between mother and daughter has deepened, but there is no father to be a conciliator. ’

Single-parent families are prone to conflict. ’

Psychological profiling is an ability that is difficult for ordinary people to master.

Alice's quick learner shows that she is delicate and has a talent for understanding others.

The scary thing is that the deeper Alice goes, the darker her expression becomes, and several times Ian wonders if she has transformed into Durga.

"There was a special mechanism at the beginning of the design that could be used for two-way observation."

Alice reached out to touch the wall high in the air, but she was not tall enough, and tried several times to fail to touch the mechanism.

In the psychological profile, Durga can do it, and Alice turns her head and looks at Ian with a cold look.

"I see."

Ian walked over, and Alice thought he would help press, but a pair of hands grabbed her and lifted her high.

Alice's mental profile is lifted in an instant, she flips the switch, and is then put down by Ian.

The series of movements just now, the touch that Ian's wide palm brought to Alice, lingered around her waist, and there was a strange feeling.

She turned her head and looked at Ian with a clean gaze.

The mechanism used for two-way observation is a square lens, which means that Ms. Duja can also see the secret room through the lens.

Ian has a solution to this matter.

He unleashes a shadowy crawl in place to create darkness, making himself invisible with the Ring of Night.

The scene outside caught his eye.

Ms. Duja, who is making dolls, and a flock of pigeons surrounding her.

In the dim candlelight, Ms. Duja had a gloomy face, holding a scalpel in both hands, which was stained with red blood.

When the time for the gloomy crawl came, Ian came back to his senses and waited for the skill CD to end.

"I'm not the same as my mother."

Alice was next to him and whispered.

Ian didn't quite understand what she meant, different? When Alice was written in a psychological profile just now, it was simply Ms. Duja's own.

The same cold,

Even because of her own resentment, Alice's temperament is even more creepy.

Compared to the simply evil Lady Durgar, it was nothing more than that.

"Just now... It was just an accident, and I didn't think my mother was doing anything wrong... I just ......"

Alice explained with some panic.

She didn't see Ian saying anything, knowing that the explanation was too thin.

When writing about her mentality, the change in her mentality and the ease with which she entered the state is the biggest fact, but this is not what Alice wants.

"Hulong—"

There was a noise outside, and something was wrong with the process of making the dolls.

Ian's shadowy crawling skills hadn't cooled yet, but he had to take a risk.

Quickly probing, through the small square mirror, he saw that the flames were slowly extinguished, and Ms. Duja's hand was burned with a layer of skin.

The pigeon, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, summons an ice-blue cold air with a staff between its wings and extinguishes the fire first.

Ms. Duja sighed softly:

"Failed, calcite can't replace marble."

"It was my mistake." Said the pigeon with gold-rimmed glasses.

With a wave of her hand, Ms. Duja cleaned up a large patch of blood from the explosion and turned around.

Ian immediately dodged away, narrowly avoiding Lady Duggard's gaze.

"Maintain the puppets made with human flesh, and try again when you're done collecting the materials."

Ms. Duja's voice flew into the ears of the two in the secret room.

Ian and Alice looked at each other, and Alice looked quite flustered.

Her mother is coming in!

There is no second head in this secret room, and outside the door are powerful puppeteers, who are blocked inside.

Ian quickly checked where he could hide, and the sound across the wall was getting closer.

Boom –

The stone statue is being rotated, and unlike when it is opened violently, it opens quickly.

"Huh? Who touched the statue? ”

Lady Duggard exclaimed, her eyes flashing to the secret chamber where the human puppet was hidden.

"No, I don't see any traces."

"Is it the gatekeeper's means? Be cautious. ”

"It couldn't be worse."

The pigeons also exchanged their own words, and Lady Duggard took out her staff, and the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

The stone statue rotated in a circle and a half, the walls were completely open, and in the secret room of the mansion, there were three horizontal and vertical rows, and nine two-meter-high glass display cases were placed.

And no one else.

Ms. Duggard relaxed, glanced at her, and made sure she didn't miss anything.

"There are no invaders at all, so Du Jia, you are not in a good state today, which led to the failure of the experiment!"

"I didn't." Duggard retorted to the pigeon's words.

She will slowly and leisurely maintain all 9 dolls, and half an hour has passed.

There wasn't anything out of the ordinary, maybe she was really making a fuss.

Lady Duggard walked out of the chamber, the walls closed, and her voice came:

"I got dust inside the lock of the stone statue, and when I opened the door today, I noticed that they were in a different position than yesterday."

The pigeon with a white scarf around its neck laughed:

"After all, she moved, a little shaking caused the dust to shift, which made little Dujia scared, her little tricks were never reliable!"

The golden-eyed pigeon was not convinced: "She is very talented!" ”

"Durga is so much better than you! Grandmother! ”

……

……

They all left the chamber.

Inside the secret room.

The deepest part of the wall cracked nearly a thousand dense cracks, and those were all silk threads.

They softened, faded to a similar color to the walls, and turned gray.

Alice gasped for air in Ian's arms, her fingers wrapped around silk threads, and the skin on her hands cracked.

"The magic is exhausted...... The hands hurt so much, it may be that the internal structure has broken due to violent spells. ”

Alice spoke in a dry tone.

Ian withdrew the information cover of the "Agnostic", also out of exhaustion, and took a deep breath.

More than the strange smell in the secret room, it is more from the floral scent of Alice's body, there is a warm sun touch, it may be a special magic perfume.

In order to shield Lady Durja's perception, he devoted all his energy to the obscuration of the agnostic.

But even so, they must not be looked directly at by Ms. Dujat, otherwise there is no doubt that they will be exposed.

Ian didn't have a good idea, even if Alice took out a special magic thread that was useful for camouflage and weaved a thin layer of wallpaper.

Others look here from the outside, and there is nothing here, and even if they look closely, they will be misled by the 'agnostic'.

Their stealth mission tonight was a success, and Ian had gained vital information.

However, at the cost of ... Something is wrong with Alice.

Ian lowered his head, Alice's arms trembling in his arms, and his ten fingers were full of broken cracks.

There is no blood, and there is no blood in the doll's body, but this does not mean that the injury is not serious.

"That's... Gatekeeper, maintenance kits don't seem to be able to repair this damage......"

Alice's tone was a little flustered, but more stiff.

Due to the excessive release of magic, the parts in her body broke down, and her voice lost its pitch one by one, like a broken music box.

"Mother doesn't want me anymore...... She'll fix me... Is it? She has other daughters......"

Tonight, Alice discovers too many secrets she doesn't know.

Her mother, Lady Duga, is ostensibly a nobleman in Momiji Town, but she is actually an evil puppeteer who conducts human experiments behind her back.

Momiji Town is also not normal, the town is likely to be a farm owned by her mother, and all the inhabitants are doll materials.

She herself is not the only doll her mother has made.

She raised her head and stared blankly at the nine puppet display cases in the secret room.

The chaotic truth lies ahead, and Alice can't think about it.

She looked up to meet Ian's gaze, her ruby-like left eye turning a lifeless gray due to damage to parts:

"I'm not... Special dolls, I just have a little ... Special, it's nothing...... Proud. ”
