Chapter 52 Dolls
Short black hair with ears, compared to this common era of thin and beautiful beauty, her chin looks very round, her small nose bridge and bright red lips, and her eyes are strange sky blue. She is just lying in the box, and the bright red robe on her body makes her stiff face look a bit like
The corpse in the coffin.
"Sir, this puppet was carefully carved by our store for craftsmen. The ceremony of burning sins in the afternoon is a great scapegoat."
The waiter in the store noticed that Zhu Jue had been looking at the doll suits they placed in the store, and took the initiative to come over and introduce.
"Rite of burning sin?"
Zhu Jue was a little surprised that the doll was so exquisitely made, why it was burned. Soon he remembered that he seemed to have heard someone talk about this when he came to Rong Xiacheng last time, but he couldn't remember it for a while. After all, he just followed behind and listened to a paragraph.
“Did you not notice that there are dolls on these two rows of shelves?”
The talking "person" raised his hand and pointed to the shelf next to him. Zhu Jue then realized that there were a large number of dolls neatly placed on it.
It is not an animal doll that passes the time for the children, but a simulated doll, but it should not be a robot. After all, the fakes of those robot dolls cost at least tens of thousands, so they will not burn them. Therefore, most of the shelves are wood or cloth dolls. It is rare for exquisite dolls like Zhu Jue to see now, and there are detailed notes next to these shelves: for sacrifice.
“Where is this ceremony going on?”
Looking back at Li Qinglian and the other two who were selecting masks on other nearby shelves, Zhu Jue asked.
He was not very interested in this burning ceremony, but there seemed to be no place to go this afternoon. Their original plan was to do whatever they wanted, but now there was a clear location, so it would be okay to go and take a look at it.
"Just in the square of Brahma Mingwang Temple, many people will pray for blessings at that time. Wouldn't you be ready to try it?"
"No, thank you."
Zhu Jueke didn't believe this, and subconsciously refused. As a result, when he looked at the "person" who had been introducing products to him fluently, he found a black section with an incomparable position on her neck. He looked at the rings on both sides of her head, and then he realized that the person he had been talking to was actually a bionic person.
In essence, should a bionic man be considered a robot doll?
It introduced himself to the doll used for burning to Zhu Jue, no matter how he thought, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he laughed dryly and prepared to return to his team.
When he left, he vaguely heard some guests coming in outside the door. They were talking loudly in front of the bionic clerk and discussing whether they wanted to buy a "high-end" puppet to attend the sacrifice.
Zhu Jue suddenly thought that their behavior seemed to be no different from talking about how many dollars a pound of pork in front of a pig, because the latter could not pay attention to the meaning of it.
Just like now, this bionic clerk still welcomed them enthusiastically and began to introduce the products to them.
"Zhu Jue, have you chosen a mask? I decided to want this."
Li Qinglian was holding a snow girl's mask in her hand. It was not so terrifying, but rather a strange beauty. Wu Tong was holding a red Tengu mask in her hand. She turned her head to look at Olivia. She was looking at a purple face.
Zhu Jue didn't make too many choices because he found a mask that looked like a beast on a shelf, which looked very similar to what Feng Ling looked when she got angry, so it naturally became the last choice.
"Have you finished choosing? We have to watch the rehearsal of the plays in the tourist area next, so we will settle the accounts first."
Li Qinglian waved her mask to check out. At this time, someone had just come in at the door of the store and headed straight to the counter, just walking past Zhu Jue and his group.
Zhu Jue and Olivi frowned immediately and began to pay attention to him intentionally or unintentionally.
The man looked very young, but his face was a little haggard, his clothes were also loose and drooping, and the shirt with a lining was exposed outside. It was obvious that he was very hurried when he went out, so there should be something urgent to come to this store.
This state of rush and anxiety can easily remind people of some bad things.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jue walked a few steps forward in the name of checkout.
"Hello, I want to buy some parts for the doll, here's the list."
The man took out a piece of folded paper from his pocket. Zhu Jue glanced over and saw that it should have been torn off from an ordinary notebook. As for the content above, although he vaguely saw some words, most of them were codes or model data of something. He knew nothing about this.
"Sorry, sir, although we have some of the things on your list here, they are all mechanical parts already installed on the doll. If you sell it to you, the doll will be ruined. We still have to make money from this."
Someone was sitting behind the counter, and the sunlight outside did not shine at this position, so it was a little dark, with only the fog of cigarettes rising.
This boss is not a bionic person. Zhu Jue is sure of this, and the business plan is jingling.
There are parts, but they are all on the doll. Of course you can, then buy all the dolls.
"Then give me those dolls first, and can you please tell me where to buy the parts that you don't have in the store?"
The man was straightforward and didn't even bargain. He nodded and said that he wanted all the dolls related to those parts.
Zhu Jue grinned beside him, thinking that the owner of this store had slaughtered a fat sheep today, and at the same time he also tried to investigate. Since he was here to buy things, he was still a sucker, so there was no problem.
Olivi also withdrew her gaze, followed Li Qinglian to the counter to settle the bill, and finally glanced at the man, paused for a while on the smart watch in his hand, and then followed Zhu Jue and the others away.
As soon as he left the door, Zhu Jue saw a man wearing a gray cloak standing in the corridor outside the shop. He had a hood above his head and was in a strange outfit, but the other party was standing with his head down and backlit, making it impossible for people to see what was going on inside the hood.
Oh ~
The wind chime pulled Zhu Jue's trouser legs and shouted at the fried fish at the roadside stall ahead.
"Okay, let's go."
