Chapter 372: The Secret of the Puppet

When he opened his eyes, Thor felt that the air around him was a little heavy, and some wind poured into his damp and hollow chest cavity with sudden and violent breathing, and the whole person felt like he was in a thick fog.

Looking around, there was a cold and dead silence all around, and the magic lights on the masonry walls were dim.

Oh, I'm back.

His eyes flashed, and Thor closed them again, silently waiting for the patchwork and return of consciousness.

It wasn't until his mind gradually converged and became active that Thor began to fall into thought.

Obviously, he was promoted, but Thor wasn't too happy. For example, the three elders of the Dark Council, Sestin, or the white-robed archbishop Bernate of the Holy See of Light, there are many backs to catch up and surpass.

The only regret was that he tried to think about what to start with, but all he felt in his consciousness was hunger and weakness. All the memories about the promotion seem to be missing a piece, and it is difficult to save a drop of water, and I can't remember anything.

It is sad that people live and have no memory, but some things are remembered too clearly.

Forget it if you can't remember, Thor firmly believes that no matter where he is, his charm will not be dusted. Maybe he knocked down a few shiitake mushroom monsters in some unknown world, but that's also very likely, Thor laughed at his own imagination.

Raising his hand slightly, he frowned and grinned.

Every time I return from the ranks, this bad feeling lasts for a while.

The body and consciousness seemed to be rusted into a pile, as if frozen in a certain position by the years. Even the slightest action such as raising your hand can cause severe soreness throughout your body. It is necessary to exert more strength to break free from the coagulation force of time.

With the difficulty of squirming and struggling, the wooden bed under him emitted an old wail because of the weight.

Thor looked down at the old wooden bed from the Gravekeeper's Cottage in Grey Veil, which made him sigh a little.

If you want to say who has been with you the longest in this stormy half of your life, it is obvious that the wooden bed under you is the real old man.

Struggling to roll over and sit up on the edge of the bed, Thor swaying his legs slightly.

Not because he was leisurely, but because he had to stay active and try to wake up his body's functions as soon as possible.

He was clearly still in the ring, and this room was once the study or bedroom of the sleepless.

Thor clearly remembers the location of the desk and wardrobe in the corner, but none of those things have escaped the years, and eventually all of them have crumbled into dust. Right now, the surroundings are empty, and they have obviously been cleaned by the puppet shiitake mushrooms.

yes, where's the puppet shiitake mushroom?

Like a frail old man, Thor stepped over to the food he had reserved and looked at it. The soup and liquid food in several large clay pots have been reduced to a certain extent, apparently this is the result of the puppet mushroom's conscientious care of himself.

But...... Thor suddenly clasped his hands and fell into thought, as he discovered some details.

Initially, each clay pot was full of food, and Thor was well prepared, as he wasn't sure how long he would be asleep.

The instructions he left for the puppet shiitake mushrooms were to take care of their meals on time.

Thor then imagined that every certain time, the puppet shiitake mushroom would come to the clay pot and pick up the prepared spoon and wooden bowl. After scooping food out of the clay pot and then bringing it to the bedside to feed yourself, there is no problem with this process.

The problem is that the puppet shiitake mushroom theoretically only acts on instinct or by pre-set commands.

So should she scoop up the food in the first pot first, and then move the food in the second pot?

But now the food in each clay pot has decreased significantly.

If you are a normal person, you may be too lazy to bend down to scoop up the food that gradually descends to the bottom of the clay pot, so that you scoop a little bit of each clay pot, which is normal. But when it appears on an unconscious puppet shiitake mushroom, it's a little abnormal.

There seems to be a hint of ...... Humanized?

Or is it that she has made a more optimal choice in her repeated movements?

Maybe he thought too much, but in the end Thor just smiled slightly, feeling that he seemed to be a little bit of a bull.

However, this temporary reflection was still very useful, and he felt that his dull mind seemed to be flexible again, and he seemed to have changed back to the intelligent person who was comparable to the prophet.

Oh, the equal emphasis on wisdom and beauty has always been Thor's positioning and requirement for himself.

Thor didn't dwell on this little thing anymore, walked to the door, opened the door and looked out.

After a moment of silence, Thor silently closed the door.

As the door panel closed, a trace of horror finally passed through Thor's eyes, because the puppet shiitake mushroom was actually missing.

When she was trapped in the ring and extremely bored, Thor had observed her with great interest.

At first, when she would only follow cleaning instructions, her movements were rigid and regular. Most of the time, she would take the initiative to clean many places in the ring, and when the surroundings were clean and there was nothing to do, she would sit in the hallway outside the door.

Leaning back against the wall and leaning on her slender legs, oh...... It was indeed slender, and the simulated skin was delicate and rosy, and Thor was sure he was not mistaken. The head made of cloth drooped slightly, and the whole person was very quiet, looking like he was basking in the sun or resting.

Later, Saul believes that this repetitive action of returning to a certain place beyond the command may be a puppet self-maintenance strategy set up by the puppeteer in the first place. After observing for a while and finding no other anomalies, Thor was left behind.

In fact, after Thor figured out how the puppet's command was covered and canceled her cleaning behavior and replaced it with taking care of herself, the puppet Shiitake Mushroom's rest behavior outside of this command still existed.

When she's not feeding herself, she's quietly in the aisle outside the door.

Whenever Thor opens the door, he can see her.

But now she's gone! Where has she gone?

In an instant, all kinds of evil, weird, and even conspiracy theories in Thor's mind subconsciously jumped out.

After a short thought, Thor quickly returned to his bed and lay down, deliberately recalling, adjusting to the position he had maintained before he fell asleep, thus creating the illusion that he had not woken up yet. In fact, Thor is thinking about it quickly.

Suspicion is usually formed gradually, by a few subtle dots slowly joining together into a line, and now the line has taken shape.

Now Sol can basically determine that this cloth-faced shiitake mushroom is somewhat abnormal, but more importantly, she is very good at disguising herself. Just like when she first met her, she was able to deceive herself through some regular repetitive and boring behaviors.

As for the scene in front of her, it is not difficult to guess that she lost on her habits.

It can be said that as long as there is a little intelligence, even a wild dog will form a habit, for example, when it passes by a tree in its memory, it will rush over to the peeing pen. It's the same with this puppet shiitake mushroom, she also has her own habits.

Before she fell asleep, when she was active, she patiently disguised herself in front of her. When she fell asleep and didn't wake up, she gradually got used to her quietness, so she gradually relaxed her guard and became herself again.

The only thing that made Thor a little frightened and a little fortunate was that his life had hung by a thread and was in the hands of some unknown 'someone else'. Fortunately, because she doesn't seem to have any ill will towards herself, otherwise she might not have a chance to wake up.

It was obviously just an accident at the moment, she didn't know when she would wake up, and in fact, Saul himself didn't know.

Then I woke up at this abrupt point in time, broke her abnormal behavior outside the rules, doubted her through some clues, and then established the suspicion, and this is roughly what happened.

What Thor is most curious about right now is not even who she is or what she is, but where she went and what she did in this empty and boring ring?

Thor who was lying on his back on the bed was even a little excited at the moment, but he didn't expect that he had just returned, and he couldn't even walk steadily, and he was about to fight with an unknown shiitake mushroom, and the blood of the Great Demon King began to boil and roll.

Assuming she is intelligent, or has the ability to think, she doesn't know that she has woken up, and that's her strength.

The door of the room was suddenly opened silently, or not silently, and the subtle grinding sound that could have been ignored was amplified in the dead silence, heralding the arrival of 'someone'. Thor on the bed was instantly shocked and entered his own disguise.

The gaze drilled out of the slightly slit eyelids, but the gaze was a little skewed and a little tired. Because Thor is lying on his back at this moment, he can only squint his eyes to get more vision in the room.

In the blurred vision, Thor saw that she didn't pay any attention to himself when she entered the door, and went straight to the corner to pick up the bowl and spoon, and turned to the clay pot to serve the food. The unstiff movement is obviously accompanied by a certain fluidity that does not conform to the puppet.

The moment she turned, Thor closed his eyes.

Then slow down your breathing rate as much as possible, while making sure that your eyeballs under your eyelids don't roll around in the light of your thoughts.

Many third-rate sleepers, after closing their eyes, will subconsciously turn their eyeballs under their eyelids, which can easily be caught by attentive observers around them. Shogues used to be such an idiot, and he was dragged out of his bed and beaten by Kovel many times.

Soon Thor felt her come to the bedside, without any rank breath.

Then use her small, slightly cold hand to pinch open her mouth and start the regular feeding.

She seems to be fed very carefully, each spoonful of soup is not too full, and she gently moves her jaw to make it easier to swallow when she pours it into her mouth. Thor pretended to be cooperative, trying not to show signs of active swallowing.

After a few sips, Thor quietly held his breath and forcibly closed the swallowing route.

If you let the soup accumulate in your mouth, and wait for the second spoonful to be poured down, it will overflow due to the movement of your jaw. Thor wants to try this puppet shiitake mushroom, will there be any other performance in the face of this situation.

When the soup overflowed the corners of his mouth, Thor almost jumped with joy in his heart.

Haha! Got you! Unknown shiitake mushroom monster. Because Thor felt that the puppet Shiitake didn't know where to take out a silk handkerchief, and actually wiped the corners of his mouth for himself, and the patterns and embroidery on it still had a slightly obvious roughness.

Rubbing is obviously a humanized suspicion.

The most important thing is that a high-end gadget like a handkerchief can be owned by a small puppet shiitake mushroom?

Thor's old dog was excited.
