As you cross a new gate, the surrounding environment changes instantly - the pleasant breeze of the valley turns into the sultry heat and humidity of the tropical rain forest, as well as the chirping of unknown animals in the distance, and insects and ants crawling across the dry grass.

The rustling sound of leaves.

Out of caution, Yu Sheng did not close the door, but kept the door open after taking Irene through the passage, so that he could return to the valley at any time.

"What now?" He looked down at the little doll lying on his arm, "Can you still feel the condition of the other body? Is the connection broken?"

"...I'm surprised, it's still connected!" the little doll said in surprise, "I was in a trance just now when I walked through the gate, but it wasn't disconnected, it was just a sense of misalignment, and now everything is normal again.

, and the connection between the two bodies has not weakened at all.”

As she spoke, she raised her head again and glanced around.

"Hey, Yu Sheng, how far apart are my two bodies now?"

"I'm afraid it's hard to use 'far and near' to measure it," Yu Sheng thought seriously for a moment and shook his head slightly, "I don't know where this place is. Anyway, it's definitely not at the junction, and it's far from the valley."

If the connection between your two bodies cannot be severed by "dimension" or "distance", then there is probably no need for further testing."

"Oh...then we want to hang around here?" Irene looked up at Yu Sheng curiously, "We are here..."

"It's not safe," Yu Sheng shook his head, "Go back."

"When did you become so cautious and conservative?"

"I'm taking your picture frame with me. It's your true body. It doesn't matter if I die here. If something goes wrong with your picture frame, you don't know what will happen." Yu Sheng shook Irene and reminded him.

She was still carrying her oil painting on her back, "Go back, and tell Hu Li to meet her back where she started."

"Oh, good!"

After a while, Yu Sheng, Hu Li and Irene returned to the newly built flat land deep in the valley.

"Now we can basically summarize a few rules." Looking at Irene who was walking around and practicing controlling two bodies at the same time, Yu Sheng touched his chin and made the conclusion from the test so far, "First, it must be

There is a doll body that needs to be integrated into the frame so that Irene can be in the present moment.

real-world activities; secondly, the puppet body together with the picture frame will become the 'subject', and the other bodies will become 'copies'; thirdly, the control distance of the 'copy' may be infinite, or

At least very, very far away, unlike the main body which has to be with the painting, but relatively..."

With a "plop" sound, Irene's secondary body suddenly lost balance while running around and fell to the ground solidly.

Yu Sheng glanced down at the little puppet that was getting up in embarrassment, and continued: "In contrast, the 'performance' of the 'copy' will be significantly weaker than the main body, from perception to action agility to controllability. This is

It should be regarded as the price brought by the 'ultra-long control distance'."

"I feel like it's a good deal." Erin climbed up. Although she fell awkwardly, she seemed to be in a good mood. "Finally, I have a body that doesn't have to run around with paintings on my back. I can run as far as I want.

Hey! And this way I can watch TV in the living room and play games in the bedroom..."

The corners of Yu Sheng's eyes suddenly jumped: "...You have two bodies and you want to do this?!"

Then he reacted: "Wait a minute! Playing games...what game are you playing?!"

Erin immediately shrank her neck and hesitated for two seconds before speaking cautiously: "Well, your account has been unblocked..."

When Yu Sheng heard this, his eyebrows stood up: "Don't use my account anymore! Go back and register your own - you already have an ID card!"

Eileen immediately lowered her head in frustration: "Oh..."

I don't know why she is so depressed.

However, the bad mood of the little doll never lasted for more than a few seconds. She soon became happy again and controlled her other body to walk in front of Yu Sheng. The two dolls raised their heads together: "By the way, I also found a

Interesting place."

Yu Sheng looked puzzled: "What?"

"It's just that when you control the second body, you don't have to completely divert half of your attention," Erin said, and the expression on the face of the "auxiliary body" became visibly stiff, as if the soul suddenly twitched.

Li Li general said, "Look, you only need to devote a little energy to control its activities."

The body of the doll with a dull expression moved around. Although it was still a little unstable, it was indeed moving freely.

Erin's face looked smug.

Yu Sheng's expression suddenly became thoughtful.

"And I found that this body actually has the ability to move autonomously," she continued. "If you just want to control it to do something, you don't need to completely 'take over' it, such as 'walk to a certain place', 'take over'

Things like getting things back, actually it can be done by itself..."

The thoughtful expression on Yu Sheng's face instantly turned into shock.

"Wait, you mean...this body has its own thinking ability?!"

Irene was stunned when she heard this. She thought about it carefully before shaking her head: "It doesn't seem to be the case. It can't be said to be thinking ability. It can only be said to be... some instincts? More advanced instincts? And it's when I establish a connection with it.

It is an instinct that will be 'activated' only under certain circumstances. I don't know how to describe it specifically."

Yu Sheng frowned deeply.

This was something he had never expected before.

But one thing he can be sure of is that when he just completed the "making", the blank doll body had no ability to move at all, even if it suddenly showed the characteristics of a "living creature" in the middle, and even the chest began to breathe.

It is just an empty shell without a soul and without any instinct.

Those "instincts" that Irene talked about only came into being after she took over her new body for the first time.

So...the key lies with Irene?

Yu Sheng's expression gradually became more serious and thoughtful.

The little doll looked up and his first reaction was that both bodies subconsciously took half a step back: "Wait a minute, you...you don't have another idea, do you?"

"I'm just a little curious suddenly," Yu Sheng looked at Irene who was facing a powerful enemy with a very serious expression, "Tell me... can you still control the third body?"

Eileen was stunned and suddenly opened her mouth: "...ah?"

"If these new bodies can produce the 'instinct' you mentioned, and controlling them only requires a little bit of energy, then maybe two bodies are not the upper limit of your control at all. If you say I pinch a few more people

When I come out, are you still busy enough to come over?"

Eileen opened her mouth, but no words came out for a long time.

Even Miss Doll, who was already familiar with Yu Sheng's "ideas" and had strong adaptability, was almost killed on the spot by the gate of the new world.

But after the initial shock passed, she couldn't help but think about this wonderful train of thought.

Even Hu Li next to him looked curious: "It feels like... you can try it?"

When Irene heard Hu Li say this, she couldn't help but sigh: "That's what Yu Sheng's 'idea' was. Although it initially sounded like a wild and unreliable idea, it still had an evil nature to it."

Attraction', just like his "exploration mentality" of "trying it out" will be contagious with his ideas. As long as you listen to his wonderful ideas, you will involuntarily think about its feasibility.

Think about its consequences, and finally... 'try it' with him."

Yu Sheng was a little dissatisfied when he heard this: "If you tell me this, it seems like all my experimental ideas have turned into something evil."

Eileen and Irene bared their teeth at him: "You really don't think there is anything evil, do you?"

Yu Sheng coughed twice: "Ahem, then tell me if you want to try it!"

"It's... not impossible," Erin murmured, "I'm actually a little curious myself - but you have to tell me first when doing the last step of the test and let me take over the new body.

It's better to be prepared when the time comes, don't be like this morning..."

"Don't worry, don't worry," Yu Sheng promised again and again, "Once you are familiar with something new, you will be familiar with it again. Isn't this a sign of experience?"

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly turned again, and his gaze fell firmly on Miss Doll again.

Erin took more than half a step back this time.

"What ideas do you have again! It's so scary, why don't you finish it all at once!"

"Well, it's just a passing thought." Yu Sheng was a little embarrassed when he saw the other person's reaction. He raised his hand to scratch his hair, "If you continue to create a new body, do you want to study new techniques or something..."

Erin: "?"

"You see, the main materials of your first body are clay and lotus root, right?" Yu Sheng explained his thoughts with great interest, "And you have said that lotus root cannot be used as a puppet material.

The material of your second body is clay, but without your guidance during the process, I suspect that the ratio of auxiliary materials is not very standard. So why not just test a few more materials and processing methods for the subsequent body?"

Erin looked suspicious: "...Huh?"

"Actually, I've always been quite concerned about the fact that your first body was damaged in the battle," Yu Sheng thought for a while and said seriously, "especially since your arms are all broken and your legs are still so miserable."

"I don't mind myself," Erin waved her hand, "But what exactly do you want to say?"

"I was just wondering if I could use some other method to strengthen your body if I can't find higher-level alchemy materials."

Erin was even more confused: "...Ah, so what?"

"To put it simply, next time I want to try changing the frame from iron wire to rebar..."
