Wei Shengyou could feel the white bones tightening a little bit, as if they wanted every inch to be close to the delicate skin.
She stamped her feet in an attempt to dislodge the bones, but tightened her grip instead.
There was nothing wrong with the area being held, it was just too cold.
The performance on the stage has already begun, but Wei Shengyou is still struggling with the bones on her ankles.
Someone's eyes slowly moved to her body.
With a slight movement, he sat up straight and raised his eyes to the stage.
That calm look seemed as if the eyes around her who were twisting their necks and looking at her didn't exist.
They slowly turned their heads back after seeing her concentrating on the performance.
Wei Shengyou froze, his expression a bit ugly.
Bai Gu still held her ankle firmly, and his fingertips rubbed her skin affectionately.
It's like being coquettish.
Fortunately, apart from this move, the bones at the ankle made no other movements.
Wei Shengyou held his head and looked at the performance on the stage.
The performers were not puppets but a few teenagers. They were no different from ordinary people, but the clothes they were wearing really made people suspicious.
The clothes were exactly the same as those worn by the puppets in the exhibition hall.
And when they move, they move very stiffly, as if--
puppet.
A light flashed in Wei Shengyou's mind and he understood something.
The middle-aged man just now was the puppet in the Puppet House.
But why can they transform from puppets into humans?
What is the means or way to become a human being?
He bent his fingers to tap subconsciously, but he touched the small bag in his arms.
That flyer...
Wei Shengyou remembered the title on the flyer.
A town that gives puppets life and soul.
Touching and looking at the puppet change its appearance.
Wei Shengyou frowned. The answer to the mystery was right in front of him, but it was blackened, making it difficult to see clearly.
[Essence task: Please say to Xing Jing, "You hurt me!" (Time limit is three hours, countdown: 0:30:47) Please complete the task as soon as possible. ]
The system panel popped up, and a few words were added after the task countdown.
Wei Shengyou didn't care much about this task.
"Click——"
"Click——"
The sound heard earlier in the Puppet House rang again.
Wei Shengyou felt something seemed to be sitting on his shoulder.
"The puppeteer! The puppeteer appears!"
There were exclamations on the stage.
All eyes were focused on Wei Shengyou.
The strange sight full of pleasure stuck to her body.
"Click——"
Wei Shengyou turned his head and lowered his eyes to see what appeared on his shoulder.
A small and delicate little puppet with no facial features carved on its face.
The little puppet raised his hand towards her after noticing the troubling look in his eyes.
Wei Shengyou's expression was a little silent. Was this aimed at her?
So malicious?
Almost as soon as the puppet appeared, the bones holding the girl's ankle tightened.
Seems dissatisfied.
Except for Wen Ruyan, who was in the last row, the positions of Wen Ruyan and others were not that scattered.
The auditorium is divided into two large rows on the left and right. There are six seats in one row, a total of four rows. There is an aisle on the left and right that can be just big enough for one person to walk through.
All five of them are on the left.
Not long after the performance, Wen Ruyan discovered something was wrong. These puppets were making up an illusion for them.
He looked intently at the stage, but calmly took out a bottle of psychoactive reagent, pulled out the cork and took a quick sip.
A hand and a gun appeared out of thin air in the right hand hidden under the windbreaker. His index finger pressed the trigger. The things around him that had not yet been moved fell to the ground and raised a small amount of dust.
A distorted puppet suddenly appeared on the ground.
Only as big as a palm.
The body was wrapped with thin threads, the joints were disconnected and connected by thin threads, and there were only two dark holes dug out on the face.
A piece of its chest was hollowed out, and it was dark inside, as if it was waiting for something to be put inside.
Wen Ruyan's expression froze as she looked at that place.
The surrounding NPCs didn't seem to notice the strangeness and were still watching the performance on the stage intently.
The sound of wood opening and closing became louder.
A smoking gun came to Wen Ruyan's eyes.
"peng"
A rose sprouted from the gun port.
Wen Ruyan brushed the gun away and looked at Rong Shi, who jumped from behind and sat down next to him, with a trace of helplessness in his eyes, "Isn't it true that my wife is gone?"
Rong Shi clicked his tongue, "This is the coffin book."
"Did you notice?" His voice was soft and slow, with a hint of creepiness in the current environment.
“The key to bringing puppets to life.”
"heart."
【Ding! Congratulations to the player for getting the key clue: the puppet with the missing heart. 】
[The heart beating hard under the chest gives human beings vitality. 】
[Puppets that have been manipulated at will have discovered the true meaning of life. As long as they get a beating, energetic heart, they can have a life of their own. 】
[Kind human being, are you willing to dedicate the heart in your chest to the poor puppet? 】
Rong Shi hugged himself and rubbed his hands, "It's crazy to want to dig out your heart."
Wen Ruyan's voice was low, "Now we should consider whether to give up the four newcomers."
Their two redeemable spiritual reagents are not enough for six people to clear the dungeon.
The best way to face this situation is to abandon some people.
and……
The sharp voices on the stage continued.
A new person has been given a mortal status.
The ending of the puppet master in this dungeon of Puppet Town is just as written in the code, he can only be killed.
The expression on Rong Shi's face changed instantly, "Wen Ruyan, that's our companion."
"There are no companions here, only the eliminated and the survivors," Wen Ruyan's voice was as cold as ever, "Rong Shi, you are still as emotional as before."
Rong Shi's always smiling face turned cold for the first time, "People like you deserve to have no friends."
In fact, what Wen Ruyan said was not wrong. In this game where dangers are everywhere and the jungle is strong, the last thing that should be done is to be emotional.
But Rong Shi always believed that companions should not be given up casually.
This is also the reason why he has always been in low-level dungeons.
"Xiao Jing, I feel something is wrong..."
Xing Qiu grabbed the hem of his clothes and lowered his eyes to avoid the performance above the stage.
That salivating look came over me again.
Xing Qiu bit her lips, and this time she noticed where they were really looking.
——It's her chest.
Because of fear, the adrenaline hormones surged rapidly and the heart beat violently.
Those eyes became more and more coveted, as if they were going to dig out the violently beating heart in her chest in the next second.
She even heard the sound of swallowing around her.
