Chapter 40 The situation is different from expected
Eileen cried so sadly.
Yu Sheng didn't try to persuade him, mainly because firstly he really didn't know how to persuade him, and secondly... he was afraid that the doll would be too sad and lose consciousness, but if he tried to persuade it, it would be stimulated and jump up to bite.
She really has to jump up to bite now.
Of course the good news is that she can bite now, whereas before she could only beep in the painting.
After a long while, Irene's sadness finally calmed down a little. Yu Sheng quickly took two steps towards the table and said hesitantly: "Then what... don't be sad. I'll do it next time."
I’ll make you a new body, the normal-sized one, and now you can just make do with this one? If it doesn’t work, I’ll make it for you again tomorrow…”
"Here, I can only use this for now," Irene sniffed twice and said with a look of sadness and anger, "Let's just do this for now, you don't have to bother - just get me a new body tomorrow.
It can’t be replaced for the time being, and the soul of the living doll can’t bear to keep changing the container. It will take at least a few months..."
As she talked, she felt sad again and was about to cry again.
Yu Sheng quickly took a small glass bottle and put it to Irene's face.
"What are you doing?" Irene twitched while looking at Yu Sheng's inexplicable behavior.
"The tears of a living doll," Yu Sheng said with a serious face, "We will try to use high-grade materials next time we make your body. I have collected materials in the past few months and will make you a golden one later...
"
Irene thought for a while and said, "Yusheng, your uncle's... ah——"
After a while, the doll's sadness finally calmed down again.
Eileen climbed onto the pile of old books next to her and sat on the top of the pile in a daze, thinking about life. Yu Sheng sat next to the table with the doll, thinking about life with her.
"At least, it's better than before," Irene muttered in a low voice, not sure whether she was telling Yu Sheng or herself, "I can at least run around by myself now."
"I can still watch TV by myself," Yu Sheng quickly agreed, "This is much more convenient than before, right?"
Eileen let out a long sigh, as if she wanted to sound serious and solemn, but because she was too small (66.6cm), the sigh did not show any heaviness at all.
Yu Sheng turned his head and secretly looked at the current Irene, his eyes falling on the other's exposed wrists and knees.
The unique ball joints of the doll look particularly eye-catching.
"It was obviously a clay doll used as a container, but in the end it turned into a ball joint like a puppet." He said thoughtfully.
"Nonsense, movable dolls, how can they move without joints?" Irene turned her head and glanced at Yu Sheng, "This is what is recorded in my soul, so no matter what the original shape of the container is, the body will change after the soul is reshaped.
Come on—if you don’t like ball joints, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
"Oh, that's not true," Yu Sheng said casually, "but speaking of the appearance in the soul record... your soul still records that you were originally 1.67 meters tall..."
Irene jumped from the pile of books to Yu Sheng's arm in an instant, holding his thumb hard and breaking it up: "Can you put away the pot or open the pot?"
Yu Sheng screamed and jumped up. While pulling this small (66.6cm) but extremely strong doll from his arm, he quickly explained: "I'm just curious, curious! How is your remodeling process going?
What's the problem? There's obviously no deviation in appearance, so why has the body size shrunk so much..."
"I didn't know!" Irene was pulled off Yu Sheng's arm and was held in mid-air by her collar. "There shouldn't be any problems obviously. Everything felt normal during the regeneration process. However, the final shape came out.
Deviation...Hey! Can you put me down first!"
"Then you have to promise me not to break my fingers." Yu Sheng held Irene's collar and said to the doll with a serious face. He waited for the other party to nod before putting her back on the table.
"Oh, forget it, it's useless to think so much," Erin sighed again, walked a few steps back and forth on the table and shook her head, "I still have to find a way to contact the sisters in Alice's cabin. If I can get back
As for the family, the sisters will definitely have a way..."
Yu Sheng was a little curious when he heard this: "You keep mentioning Alice's cabin and the dolls... Where are the sisters you mentioned usually? Are there any dolls other than you in this city? Speaking of your organization
'...What do you usually do?"
He has always wanted to ask these questions, but the recent difficult things have happened one after another, and now he finally got the chance to ask.
"We? We are a group created by the ancestor of the dolls. Our mission... actually doesn't have much of a mission. Sometimes we deal with foreign lands, and sometimes we help other organizations deal with some difficult entities. But most of the time the dolls just
I'm just doing what I like," Erin recalled and said, "Most of my sisters are not active in the human world, but there should be a contact point in the boundary city... But I don't know where it is specifically.
I remember, and in the past few years, the contact information and contact persons should have been changed..."
She crawled back to the pile of old books, supported her chin with both hands, and slowly continued in her memory: "We all make some disguises when we are in the human world. The living dolls look very similar to humans, so they are very similar."
It’s easy to blend in with the crowd. This city is so huge. Without a specific contact method or a specific contact person, it’s not easy to find a hidden living doll..."
Yu Sheng listened on the side. Although he had already thought that there might be all kinds of strange people hidden in this city, he still felt a little surprised at this time: "Incredible... I used to think that the residents of this city
Only humans..."
"How is that possible?" Irene rolled her eyes at Yu Sheng, "This is the border area."
"The junction..." Yu Sheng repeated this word softly.
"Anything is possible in this place at the junction. If nothing else, isn't there a strange guy like you who thinks he is a human being hiding in such an old city?" Irene waved her hand and picked up from a pile of
The old book jumped down, "Let's go downstairs first. I've stayed here enough. I finally have the ability to move freely. I want to take a walk in this big house~"
"That's right," Yu Sheng breathed out and patted his face to cheer himself up. "It took me a long time just to knead your body. I'm already hungry. Let's go downstairs and make something to eat."
As he said that, he turned and walked towards the exit of the attic, but as soon as he took two steps out, he heard Eileen shouting from behind: "Hey, wait for me! I haven't come down yet!"
When Yu Sheng turned around, he saw Irene taking a few steps away from the table, jumping onto the creaky old chair, and then climbed to the edge of the chair, grabbing the chair legs with both hands and feet and slowly sliding down.
It took a while before I finally got to the floor smoothly...
Yu Sheng: "..."
Irene ran up to Yu Sheng's feet with her short legs. Only then did she notice the gaze falling on her. She immediately raised her head and tried her best to look majestic with her hands on her hips: "What are you looking at me doing?"
"It's nothing," Yu Sheng shook his head, "It just feels quite...cute."
He almost said the word "Coke".
Irene was stunned and didn't notice the suspicious pause in Yu Sheng's words: "Yes, yes?"
Then she walked forward with Yu Sheng. After taking two steps, she reached out and tugged on Yu Sheng's pants: "By the way, thank you."
Yu Sheng lowered his head and tugged on his trousers while showing doubtful eyes.
"Thank you for helping me prepare my body. The situation was so chaotic just now that I didn't even thank you properly." Irene said seriously.
Yu Sheng couldn't help but look up and down at the current doll (66.6cm). After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't hold it back: "You're like this, why do you still want to thank me?"
"One size goes to the same size. The problem with my body shape is that I don't know what happened when I reshaped myself, but your body was indeed carefully prepared for me." Irene raised her head and looked very solemn (actually it didn't show much).
out), "Although it's a bit ugly."
"...You don't need to add this last sentence."
"Anyway, in short, what I promised you before is still valid," Eileen said quickly, "I will help you in the future, whether it is to help fight or need assistance in mysticism, I will be very useful, even if you find it in the future
Other sisters, when you return to Alice's cabin, I will come back to help you, just..."
She paused for a moment and thought about it.
"Just, just settle on a hundred years?" She looked at Yu Sheng and cautiously confirmed, "You should be dying of old age by then, right?"
Yu Sheng: "...I try my best."
"Then let's settle on a hundred years," Eileen laughed happily, her mood suddenly improved for some reason. Then she turned around and ran towards the attic exit with her short legs, "Then let's go downstairs quickly..."
Her voice stopped suddenly, and she fell forward suddenly, like a puppet whose strings were suddenly cut off. She fell far away due to the inertia of running, until she hit the opposite wall.
The smile on Yu Sheng's face froze at the moment Irene fell out.
"Fuck...fuck?!"
He was stunned for a moment, then rushed to Irene's side in a few steps, bent down and picked up the little doll from the ground.
The doll closed its eyes tightly and exerted no force anywhere in its body. The limbs that were warm a second ago are now as cold as ordinary clay. Only the skin still maintains a soft and active touch, but it cannot feel any life.
Yu Sheng was completely confused.
Then, he heard Irene's voice coming from the big table not far away——
