Every day the puppet is playing dead

Early the next morning, the inn.

Wan Tengbai opened the door and walked in.

As soon as she entered the inn room, Yaoying flew over. She circled around Wan Chengbai nervously and asked:

"How did you leave me here alone, I was scared to death."

Wan Tengbai cast a sideways glance at Yaoying, a little funny:

"Are you afraid?"

"Who is not afraid of this situation?"

Yao Ying sat on Wan Tengbai's shoulders and walked towards the bed on the other side of the room with Wan Tengbai, and at the same time said in a complicated tone,

"Who knows who it is that woke up? If it's that evil spirit, what should we do?"

Last night, according to what Yaoying said, Wan Tubai found Chongyu near the ruined temple in the suburbs.

To be precise, Wan Tengbai found the puppet.

The puppet had already fallen into a coma at that time. For unknown reasons, the puppet didn't even breathe, lying on the ground, it was completely a corpse.

Wan Tengbai looked at the motionless puppet on the ground for a while, and then he went forward to check the condition of the puppet's body. After making sure that there were no injuries on the surface of the puppet's body, Wan Tengbai took the puppet's body back to the inn.

From the beginning to the end, Wan Tubai just treated it as a puppet body.

He didn't know whether the next time the puppet opened its eyes, it would be the "evil spirit" or the real "Chongyu" who would wake up.

Now, Wan Tengbai walked to the bedside and looked down at the sleeping puppet——

The stains on the puppet's face and body have been wiped clean by Wan Tengbai.

Last night, when Wan Tengbai took off the puppet's clothes and wiped the puppet's body with a clean cloth, he looked at the puppet in front of him, with his palms pressing the soft and firm skin through a piece of cloth, Wan Tengbai thought a lot of.

He recalled a lot and thought a lot, but facing the body of the person he once had a crush on, he didn't have any thoughts of beauty. On the contrary, he looked at the red spell on the puppet's body, and his heart throbbed faintly.

The place where the red mantra exists is the evidence that Chongyu was "divided/corpse" back then.

When you love someone, you are naturally reluctant to let the other person get hurt in the slightest.

The scars on the puppet's body could have been non-existent, but Wan Tubai still brought Chongyu into this world for his own selfish desire, and made Chongyu experience such tragic wounds.

Even though Wan Tubai has always been cold-hearted and cold-hearted, but thinking that Chongyu's situation is caused by him...

Wan Tengbai has never paid attention to the people and things in the game world here. In his eyes, Chongyu is the only person who can be regarded as a "person" on an equal footing with him.

"Do you...will it hurt?"

When the cloth towel in his hand wiped Chong Yu's severed left hand, Wan Tubai looked at the circle of the severed wrist, with bones exposed inside, he was in a trance for a while, and couldn't help asking.

Although Xie Chong occupied the puppet's body at that time, and Xie Chong ripped off the puppet's left hand by himself, but Wan Tubai still wanted to ask Chong Yu if it would hurt him.

Of course, the current puppet body would not answer. He lay quietly on the bed with no blood on his face.

"..."

Looking at the puppet in front of him, Wan Tengbai's breathing became heavy.

"Xiao Bai, are you alright?"

Yaoying was the first to feel that something was wrong with Wanqibai, and she was a little scared because she had never seen Wanqibai like this before.

To Yaoying, Wan Tubai is very mysterious.

As a weak demon spirit whose nest was occupied by evil spirits, Yaoying was forced to wander in the mountains and forests for a long time.

During the period of wandering, Yaoying was worried every day, and her heart was always conflicted.

On the one hand, she hopes that someone can descend from the sky, rescue her from the fire and water, get rid of that evil spirit, and help her avenge;

On the other hand, she is constantly in fear, because only monks can help her;

And if a monk sees her, he will definitely become greedy for the rare demon spirit in the world.

The appearance of Wan Tengbai gave Yaoying the last straw.

Wan Tengbai is human, there is no doubt about it.

But for Yaoying, Wan Tubai is a god.

Powerful, but out of reach.

Yaoying knew very well that the man in front of her had a high level of cultivation and a high status, and at the same time he didn't care about everything in the world, so even helping Yaoying might be just a part of the man's plan for the man.

She is just a small pawn of a man.

But Yaoying doesn't care, she only needs the result to meet her expectations, that is, the evil disappears. As for the others, Yaoying doesn't care, and even thinks that those may be the price for her to achieve her wish.

If there is a loss, there must be a gain, Yao Ying has always understood.

So, now, seeing a man who has always been hot on the outside and cold on the inside showing his true affection for the first time, Yaoying felt very strange and a little scared at the same time.

Since Wan Chengbai cares about someone...

Does that mean that the rest of the people are not even as good as stones to Wan Tubai, and they can be discarded at will?

Then what will her... ending be like?

Yaoying suddenly thought, what is the difference between her way of seeking Wan Tengbai's protection and those people in the town who seek protection from evil spirits?

"It's okay, I just thought of something from a long time ago."

Wan Tengbai came back to his senses, he smiled at Yaoying, and returned to his original appearance.

Yaoying nodded thoughtfully, she flew up and landed on the chest of the puppet body on the bed to stand.

After standing for a few seconds, she jumped away from the severed hand next to the left hand of the puppet, bent down to look at the fracture, and showed an indescribable expression. Then she straightened up and asked Wan Chengbai:

"Why don't you put his hand back on?"

She still doesn't quite know what's going on with Chong Yu's body, but because she and Chong Yu faced the evil together, Yao Ying knew that Chong Yu's hand could be caught.

Before, Xie Sui forcibly tore off the left hand of the puppet's body, but now the puppet's left hand is in Wan Tengbai's hand, Yaoying couldn't figure out why Wan Tengbai didn't give that hand to the puppet when the puppet was asleep. connect.

Wan Tengbai blinked, and he used his handsome appearance to pretend to be innocent to Yaoying:

"I want to wait for Chongyu to wake up before talking about... the important things, it's better to wait for the person to confirm."

Yaoying seems to understand but not understand.

She climbed back to Chong Yu's chest and sat down.

After a few seconds, Yaoying hesitated for a moment, and still said to Wan Chengbai:

"Xiaobai, let me just say it straight... Chongyu hasn't had a heartbeat for so long, will he really come back to life?"

When she was in Chongyu's arms before, Yaoying could still feel that Chongyu's heart was beating.

Now, Yaoying thinks that she and Wan Chengbai must prepare for the worst——

Either Chongyu was already dead;

Or, Chongyu has been taken away, and the soul in his body is no longer him.

"He will."

Wan Tengbai replied affectionately, he stared at Yaoying with black pupils, extremely gentle, as if he was blaming his best lover,

"Otherwise, I will let the whole world be buried with me."

Hearing what Wan Chengbai said, Yaoying shuddered.

She dared not ask any more.

At the same time, the system in Wan Tengbai's body also shuddered.

Seeing Wan Chengbai being driven mad by her own words, Yaoying didn't dare to continue asking. She lowered her head, sat on Chongyu's chest, and played with her fingers.

The room suddenly became quiet again.

I don't know how long the time has passed, Yaoying suddenly showed a surprised expression, and then she lay on the puppet's chest. After a few seconds, Yaoying flew back to Wanqibai's shoulder, and said in a complicated tone:

"He has a heartbeat."

When Yaoying was quiet, Wan Tengbai stayed by the puppet's side and never left.

He was looking at the puppet all the time, but Yaoying felt that Wan Tubai didn't seem to be looking at the puppet, but rather said goodbye to the dead past.

After Yaoying flew away, the two looked at the puppet together, and they saw the puppet's chest grow from nothing, and began to have a slight ups and downs.

Wan Tengbai showed a satisfied affection, and he moved towards the puppet, getting closer to the puppet.

"You be careful."

Yaoying couldn't help reminding.

"I know."

Wan Qibai said.

He looked at the puppet in front of him tenderly, and turned his body to the left, getting closer to the puppet, so that the puppet could see his worried eyes when he opened his eyes;

On the other hand, the hand drooped, avoiding the vision of the puppet, and at the same time there was an extra dagger in his hand.

The puppet didn't wake up immediately, and Wan Tengbai had been waiting patiently. During the waiting process, he was like a dormant snake, and he didn't even change his posture.

He has always been patient.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the puppet opened its eyes.

The moment the puppet opened its eyes, Yaoying exploded. She flew up from Wan Tubai's shoulder, and looked at the puppet in front of her in amazement.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but the moment the puppet opened its eyes, Yao Ying felt that the eyes of the person in front of her were familiar and strange, like Chong Yu, but also like another person.

Wan Tengbai, on the other hand, was much calmer. He maintained his previous gentle expression and whispered softly to the puppet who had just woken up:

"Are you awake? Is something uncomfortable?"

The puppet didn't answer immediately at first. He half-cast his eyes, turned his head, and made a "creaking" sound;

Then he slowly propped himself up, apparently wanting to sit up.

Seeing this, Wan Tengbai didn't seem to care at all. The distance between him and the puppet was too close, even beyond a safe distance. He still helped the puppet to get up halfway and leaned against the head of the bed without any grievances.

After adjusting his knowledge, the puppet leaned against the head of the bed.

Perhaps it was just waking up, and the body was not compatible with the soul, which caused the puppet's reaction to be slow. After almost a full minute, the puppet's sluggish eyes became much clearer.

The puppet stared fixedly at Wan Tengbai, and instead of answering Wan Tengbai's question, he asked:

"Who do you think I am?"

This question hits the nail on the head, breaking the illusion created by Wan Tubai at the beginning.

Wan Chengbai's eyes turned a little cold, but he quickly covered it up, showing a relieved look instead:

"Great, it looks like you're all right."

This sentence is really ambiguous.

What is "nothing"?

Is this sentence answering the puppet's question on the side?

Then Wan Qibai thinks, who is the soul in the body now, is it considered "nothing"?

The puppet tilted its head and showed a distressed expression at Wan Teng Bai, probably thinking about what Wan Teng Bai's answer meant.

After thinking for a while, the puppet frowned and stretched out his hand to his forehead:

"Forget it, don't want to, it's so troublesome."

He subconsciously put his hand on his forehead, but when he raised his hand, he found that there was nothing on his left wrist.

puppet:"……"

"When I was looking for you, I picked up a left hand, can you see if it's yours?"

Seeing the puppet's eyes become dazed, Wan Tengbai took out a broken left hand as if asking for credit from the puppet.

The puppet looked at the severed hand in Wan Tengbai's hand, and then at the empty wrist and fracture of his left hand, speechless.

Before Wan Tengbai could continue to say anything, the puppet stretched out his right hand, picked up the left hand "picked up" by Wan Tengbai, and put it back.

The circle of red spells on the wrist of the left hand began to ripple after the severed hand was connected, and the severed skin healed with the ripples of the red spells, and finally the severed hand and wrist "reconciled as before".

Looking at the movements of the puppet, it feels natural, and its expression is not surprising. This kind of thing should have happened many times.

Yaoying, who had been watching from a distance, breathed a sigh of relief, she flew over immediately, chattering in front of the puppet:

"It scared me to death. Let me tell you, if I hadn't gone to find Wan Chengbai, you might still be lying in the creek in the suburbs."

The puppet's eyes followed Yaoying all the time.

It's just that I don't know if it's because of just waking up, when the puppet's eyeballs are turning, there is a slight bit of rigidity. Looking at it this way, the difference between a puppet and a living person is obvious.

But the voice of the puppet was still the familiar "Chong Yu" voice, even the tone of voice was exactly the same.

After Yaoying said this, the puppet said briskly in a tone they are very familiar with:

"Really? Thank you Yaoying."

Yao Ying was embarrassed by what Chong Yu said, she pursed her lips and smiled, and after flying a full circle in front of the puppet, she asked:

"By the way, when I found you before, I saw you lying on the ground struggling, it seemed to be in pain... Are you fighting against evil spirits?"

Listening to Yaoying's tone, she already regarded the puppet in front of her as "Chongyu", a genuine "Chongyu".

The puppet nodded:

"It's hard to take control of your body."

He paused and added:

"It's painful too."

"The puppet's body senses are dull, how can it be painful?"

Wan Tengbai suddenly interjected, he looked at the puppet in front of him seriously, and asked.

The room fell silent again.

Yaoying looked at the puppet in front of her, and then at Wan Chengbai on the other side. She happened to be between the two of them now, and she didn't know which way to fly.

After staring at Wan Chengbai for a long time, the puppet replied slowly:

"The soul is the soul, and the body is the body. Why do you think I won't hurt?"

Seeing that the puppet seemed a little displeased, Wan Qibai turned his face slightly to avoid the puppet's sight, and sighed:

"Sorry, I'm a little scared... Seizing the house, can I really get it back?"

As I said before, in the world of comprehension, the default is that if a person is successfully taken over by another person, the soul of the original owner will either be shattered, or directly dissipated.

"There are many unexplainable things in this world."

The puppet's tone gradually cooled down, and he said,

"Anyway, I'm a reincarnation of an artifact."

Wan Tengbai turned his head, and he looked at the puppet with stubborn eyes:

"I still don't believe it!"

I have to say that when a man who has always been reliable says such childish words, it is a little cute.

The puppet was stunned for a moment, then he sighed, his eyes softened slightly when he looked at Wan Chengbai, he leaned back on the bed, and fell into memories:

"That evil...it's strange...she left on her own."

In the puppet body at that time, Chong Yu was indeed robbing Xie Chong for his body.

At first, Xie Chong had the upper hand, but later, Xie Chong was gradually suppressed.

When fighting with Xie Chong, because of the direct contact between souls, Chong Yu inadvertently peeped into Xie Chong's heart.

Evil thoughts... a normal person cannot understand.

She really wanted a body, and the body of a puppet was the best choice for Xie Chong.

However, even after being a "green mother" for many years, Xie Chong still has an animal mindset.

This "animal thinking" refers to the fact that Xie Chong's thinking is very naive and straightforward.

Thinking of this, the puppet looked at Yaoying and asked:

"She's actually not Xie Chong, she is just like you, a demon spirit from the nearby mountains and forests, why do you call her 'Xie Chong'?"

Hearing this, Yaoying was taken aback for a moment, she faltered for a while, and finally stayed where she was.

Yeah, why would she call her "evil spirit"?

After Wan Chengbai finished listening, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes:

"Oh? What do you know?"

"I have a little special talent."

The puppet continued, "I saw a bit of her memory."

Xie Chong's real body is actually exactly the same as Yao Ying's. The two of them have met before, but it seems that only Xie Chong remembers it, and Yao Ying has forgotten it.

Unlike Yaoying, Xie Chong likes nature more. She has been wandering in the mountains and forests, keeping company with wild beasts. Naturally, she also learned the way of thinking and behavior of wild beasts.

Later, Yaoying left the mountains and forests, came into contact with humans, and finally became the "green mother" enshrined by humans.

After Yaoying left for a long time, Xie Chong realized that another demon spirit nearby had become a human "god".

Out of curiosity, Xie Chong went down the mountain and went to the town where Yaoying was sheltering at that time, which is now "Qingdian";

Seeing that Yaoying is busy for human beings, and human beings are enshrining Yaoying, Xie Chong is jealous.

At that time, Xie Chong didn't know whether she was jealous of Yaoying or human beings. Anyway, she wanted to sabotage the mutual love between Yaoying and human beings.

Therefore, Xie Chong imitated Yaoying and satisfied human desires——

Because of her evil "animal thinking", she doesn't understand human life and wishes at all, so she devises all kinds of strange ways to satisfy wishes.

But by doing so, it's strange that Xie Chong's reputation has grown. Gradually, without Xie Chong's own reaction, she has replaced Yao Ying and became the "Green Mother Empress".

"She has never paid attention to the people here."

The puppet looked at Yaoying, regardless of Yaoying's stiff face, he continued,

"She's like a little kid, doing whatever comes to her mind."

After becoming the "Green Mother Empress", Xie Chong's feelings for human beings have changed from initial curiosity to disgust.

She doesn't understand why human beings are so stupid, and even deceive themselves and say that she is the "green mother".

At the same time, she couldn't understand why Yaoying would protect such a stupid human being, so she decided to take revenge.

The first to take revenge is humans.

For fun, and to be more human—

"I think she wants to become a human, perhaps because she thinks you like humans. Similarly, if she has a human appearance, you will look at her more."

The puppet commented so.

So Xie Chong told her believers that she wanted a human body.

The original words are probably like this.

It's a pity, how could the believers attracted by Xie Shou's behavior be normal people?

The original believers understood the words of evil spirits as:

Their gods need human bodies.

As a result, believers began to enshrine human bodies as sacrifices.

When he received a human corpse for the first time, Xie Chong was taken aback.

She didn't understand why it developed like this, but after that, believers would be enshrined with dead bodies every year, and gradually, the evil spirits got used to it.

But everyone has a love of beauty, and it is too difficult to obtain a body with perfect appearance and figure, so Xie Chong thought about it, and with her simple and naive way of thinking, she came up with a trick——

Like learning to be a puppet, I pieced together a body with satisfactory human limbs.

"She...how could she think so?"

Yaoying muttered to herself,

"It's really stupid."

"It's really stupid."

The puppet looked at Yaoying's eyes with some pity,

"Because the demon spirit has no form at all, so she didn't know what appearance to use at the beginning."

Because I don't know what kind of human body is considered good-looking, Xie Chong thought about it and decided to use "Green Mother Empress".

She thought this would bring Yaoying closer.

Everyone knows what happened next.

After finally grabbing the puppet body, she gave up later, purely because Xie Chong actually didn't want to be a man from her heart.

She snatched the body, more because she wanted the body material of the puppet.

In the animal world, animals are unable to defeat their opponents and often choose to run away instead of saving face.

From the beginning to the end, the evil deeds, from the human point of view, are heinous;

But if you look at it from another angle, Xie Chong never treats human beings as something that can be treated equally with her. Isn't her attitude the same as humans see ants?

That being the case, what is normal and abnormal?

"me……"

Yaoying's little face turned pale, and she suddenly understood why she had gone to "seek revenge" countless times, but the other party, that is, the evil spirit, had never killed her.

So, who was at fault in this whole thing?

Yaoying slowly flew to sit on the table in the room, she wanted to be alone.

After Yaoying flew away, the two looked away from following Yaoying, and then looked at each other.

The puppet suddenly pulled Wan Chengbai's collar and pulled him over. The two continued nose to nose, and the puppet asked:

"Aren't you curious, who am I?"

Wan Tengbai's other hand holding the dagger was throbbing with veins, but he didn't raise that hand, but continued to smile unchanged:

"You are always Chongyu in my heart."

Wan Tubai has used this kind of speech countless times.

Before, he had been using it on the woman who was jealous of him. Wan Tengbai never thought that he would use it on such a scene one day.

The puppet narrowed its eyes slightly.

After a few seconds, the puppet let go of Wan Tengbai's collar, and he said:

"Wan Chengbai, is there something that you will never say if I don't ask?"

"for example?"

"That strange voice in your body, and, if I remember correctly, there was a player before, that half-demon Xiaobai looking for you, right? What about others?"

Wan Tengbai's blue veins calmed down, his breathing was normal, and his tone was teasing:

"I thought you forgot Xiaobai."

The puppet rolled his eyes at Wan Tubai.

Business as usual.

Wan Teng thought for nothing.
