Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 7: Rune Puppet

     Su Lun's eyes gradually became a little serious.

   Because he also picked up the fork with his own hand, he picked up a large piece of **** meat and sent it to his mouth.

  If he doesn't want to think of a solution, he will probably taste the taste of human organs for the first time.

   He knew that if he didn't find a breaking point, he would be killed by the "ghost seed" sooner or later.

  ...

   A terrifying manor, a weird doll, a ghost species who likes to torture and kill humans...

   Su Lun's thoughts turned quickly.

   Suddenly, he thought of something, and his inspiration flashed: "Since the weirdness in this room has the ability to easily kill us, but it does not...This shows that the weirdness is wise and not low."

   Monsters are wise, which is a good thing for him.

   I'm afraid that monsters only know **** instinctively, and that is desperate.

   fight, it must be impossible to fight.

   But from his experience in thousands of horror games and horror movies, as long as he is a wise NPC, he can get a plot turn (clue) through conversation.

   The study, the corridor, the banquet hall... the clues in the brain suddenly connected end to end.

  Su Lun felt that he probably found the key to breaking the game!

   "Huh..."

   exhaled in his heart.

   Suren decided to give it a try.

   At this time, his expression suddenly shrank, and he said something inexplicable toward the void: "Miss Pestoya, can I talk to you?"

  ......

   This opening seems to be forbidden by time.

   Su Lun himself was delivering meat with his right hand to his mouth, and stopped in mid-air.

   Hearing this, the bald head who was eating a mouthful of blood not far away was obviously taken aback, not understanding why Su Lun suddenly said such inexplicable words.

   However, at this time, there was a response from the void, "Hey... how do you know my name?"

   is still the low and weird old lady's voice before.

   You guessed it!

   When Su Lun heard this, he immediately realized that there was nothing wrong with his reasoning.

   The Marcus guy said before that this "ghost species" found them, but didn't kill them directly. Instead, they played a few games, hide and seek, pinball, bowling...

   As long as you follow the rules of the game, you can live for a while; if you violate the rules, you will be killed immediately.

   Same as the current situation, this weird can easily kill them, but he chose to "play".

   This also proves that the age of this "ghost species" is not too old; in other words, the psychological age is not too old.

   And besides the corpse, there are only three dolls on this table, a gentleman in a suit, a lady, and a young woman. The gentleman sits in the main seat, obviously this is a family of three.

   But when Su Lun went to the table to observe before, he felt that these three people were familiar.

   If you think about it again, you will remember that he had seen a family portrait on the wall of the study before.

   In the photo, these three people are listed impressively.

   And in that photo, there is actually a fourth person.

   A little girl holding a little bear doll!

   Then... the rest is not difficult to guess. The butler calls it the "master" and likes **** pranks, so the identity of this "ghost species" is only that little girl.

   And under that photo, there was just a name, "Pestya Isaac"!

  ......

   Su Lun did not answer that question, but directly said: "Can I chat with you?"

   Although he doesn't know what the "ghost species" is weird, it is probably similar to the "ghost" in his impression.

   And, since she knows that she is not old in her heart, then there is more room to talk (flicker).

   So, first of all, it has to arouse its interest.

   He said again: "I can tell interesting stories, dance, sing, shadow puppets, puppet shows... I think Miss Pestoya will like..."

  ...

   After speaking, the room was silent for a long while.

  Su Lun thought that things were still on the verge of fire, but at this moment, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, from the banquet hall to a beautifully decorated girl's bedroom.

   On the workbench by the window, sits a little girl in a princess dress who is tinkering with some doll parts.

   She seems to be seriously assembling a doll full of runes, listening to the movement, she did not look back, and said directly: "You haven't said yet, how do you know my name?"

   Very gentle girly voice, it sounds crisp and waxy.

   The first step is done!

   successfully aroused its interest.

   Su Lun quickly observed everything in the house, and said, "I saw your name on the photo when I was in the study..."

   He spoke as calmly as possible, fearing to provoke him.

  Because he knows that this little girl who looks harmless to humans and animals in front of him has a "distorted psychology" that has the evil interest in torturing and killing human beings.

   The little girl asked again: "In the study before, how did you find me?"

   Apparently, she was talking about the Nutcracker.

  Su Lun thought this was a good sign, at least she took the initiative to speak, and responded: "Because I found that the doll's eyes moved."

   "Oh, that's how it is."

   The little girl heard this and slowly put down the rune doll in her hand.

   As if time stood still for a moment, then she slowly turned around.

   Seeing this, Su Lun's pupils and eyes were slightly narrowed, faintly feeling that there will be a big turn in the plot. Just in case, he silently replenishes himself with a special BGM for watching horror movies—"Today is a Good Day".

   As expected!

   In the next moment, the little girl turned her face to Su Lun, suddenly changed back to the low and terrifying voice before, and asked sadly: "Now, do you still want to chat with me?"

  ...

   This is a burnt face, the facial features are all wrinkled together by the high temperature, and there are only three holes in the mouth and nose.

   Normal people will be shocked when they see this face suddenly.

   What surprised the little girl was that Su Lun’s expression never changed at all, no panic, no resentment, no fear...Even, he stared at the little girl's face seriously, with a gentle smile on his face.

   If you have watched a thousand horror movies, it is probably hard to be scared.

In    horror movies, there are not a hundred kinds of plots of "Let's Kill", there are 80 kinds, sulfuric acid, fire, split, abscess... all kinds of horrible and disgusting scenes.

   Therefore, when Su Lun saw this burnt face, his heart was not very disturbed.

   He knew that if he had been frightened or had an expression of fear just now, it might trigger an instant death effect, and he would definitely not be able to talk about it this day.

   However, he passed the first hurdle smoothly.

   Suren went directly to the subject: "Of course, Miss Pestoia. I can feel your loneliness..."

   He imitated the tone of the psychologist who treated him and started a conversation.

  ...

   The little girl was stunned, as if she hadn't thought about what she should do if the other party was not frightened by her terrifying appearance.

   Su Lun didn't give her a chance to make trouble, and immediately began to tell her own story.

"When I was in the juvenile school, I was often confined. Oh, the juvenile school is a place for disobedient children. So, the kind of loneliness I can experience when a person is locked in a hut... "

   "I was born in a very warm family, but my parents left when I was very young..."

  "..."

   If you have read 800 books, you won’t think there is anything new in this world.

  Italian Carlo Gezi said that there are only 36 plots in the world: appeal, rescue, revenge, revenge between flesh and blood, hunting, disaster, misfortune, reassurance, seeking...

   Sullen saw the face of "Pestoya" and immediately speculated a lot of plot.

   Burns?

   was either an accident or a murder.

   There is also a family in the restaurant that is made into puppets and sits neatly there, either missing or resentful.

   From the limited clues, this should be a harmonious family.

   Pestoya should have been born in a loving motherly family, and then when she was about ten years old, she was killed by an accidental fire.

   Life is also fixed in that year.

  Su Lun is not all flicker, but can really experience that kind of loneliness.

   Because he is telling his own story.

  Perhaps, only people with mental illness can understand mental illness?

   He has been in the juvenile management office for so many years of psychological counseling, and after reading so many psychology books, the psychological communication methods of problem children are simply readily available.

   Although this "weird" is very powerful, its supernatural ability can even easily kill a hundred Sulun.

   But after all, the psychological age is just a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world.

  With wisdom, there are emotional needs...

   This is what the psychiatrist said when he treated himself.

   The desire to survive overwhelmed the guilt of the little girl in Su Lun's heart, and the two slowly began to chat.

   "My name is Suren, and I am glad to meet you, Miss Pestoia."

   "Are you really afraid of me?"

   "Well. I can see that Pestoya is a kind girl."

   "No, I killed a lot of people."

"I have also killed many people. When I was twelve years old, a group of hooligans insulted and killed my neighbor's sister. Then I took a knife and chased them three streets, stabbing them one by one... the murderer It doesn’t have to be the wicked, the ones who were killed, maybe they deserve to die."

  "..."

   Su Lun saw a touch of curiosity from that burnt face, as if he had found a sense of identity in his words.

   After a pause, he did not forget to give some psychological hint, and then said: "Later in the juvenile management office, my doctor told me that bad people should be punished, but good people cannot be hurt."

"Oh."

   Pestoya murmured seemingly.

   groaned for a moment, she asked softly: "What do you think is a good person?"

  Su Lun: "Personally, the difference between good people and bad people lies in whether they conform to their own values. At least until today, I think those guys deserve to die."

   Pestoya is very clever, apparently meeting Sulun’s meaning, she has a sly look in her eyes, and asks: "Are you a good person then?"

  Su Lun did not blush: "Of course."

   "Gluck..."

   Hearing this, the room resounded like a silver bell of laughter.

   The atmosphere suddenly became less rigid.

   Girls are probably beauty-loving. The little girl has restored her appearance in the photo. She is blonde, cute and well-behaved.

  Su Lun told his own story. The lonely experience of the two mentally ill patients made it easy for them to find "resonance."

   Not long after, sitting side by side like good friends alone.

  Su Lun told her some weird stories on earth.

   Pestoya will also talk about what happened in the manor.

   "My parents are very good alchemists. They are very busy every day... Only these puppets will stay with me, but unfortunately they can't speak..."

  "..."

   Suren didn't ask about the fire, he could guess it with his toes, which would definitely trigger Pestoya's painful memory.

   The two chatted about fun and interesting trivial things.

  The plot also unfolded in the direction he expected.

  Su Lun’s purpose is to survive. Obviously, he probably won’t be killed.

   But, there seems to be something more.

  Resonance is always mutual.

  Although there is no favorability panel in the game, Su Lun feels that this little girl can talk to him quite well.

  ...

   The two chatted for a long time, and Pestoya seemed very satisfied, with a lovely smile on her face.

   "Thank you, no one has spoken to me for many years."

   The little girl thought of something and said: "But you can't stay by my side for too long...otherwise, you will be distorted."

   "Distortion?"

   Suren felt that it would be okay to stay a while longer, but after hearing Pestoya's words, he also realized that there might be other dangers in this space.

   At this time, Pestoya seemed to think of something again.

She walked to her workbench, took the finished rune doll, put it in a beautiful box, and said, "This is a parting gift for you, Mr. Su Lun. Thank you for telling me with me. That's the case."

   Upon hearing this, Su Lun knew that he had survived successfully.

   Su Lun is not polite, and took the wooden box with the rune doll.

   A simple doll with yellow skin and a heavy hand. It looks like there are many metal parts inside, and the most peculiar thing is that it has looming blue runes on its surface.

   He didn't ask much, but smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you for your gift too, Miss Pestoia."

   "Mr. Sulun, we probably won't see you in the future. Even if you come next time, I might have forgotten you..."

   It's going to be parting, and Pestoya's face is sad.

Then, she took off a butterfly brooch from her dress and pinned it on Su Lun’s chest with her own hands. "This is my favorite brooch. It was a birthday gift from my mother when I was six years old. It was also from me. I hope you can do me a favor after you go out. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

   Su Lun readily agreed: "Okay."

   "If you can see my parents in the future, help me ask..."

   Pestoya said here, but she stopped suddenly and did not continue.

   Su Lun was puzzled: "Ask what?"

   Pestoya's tone suddenly became painful, and the scary old woman's voice alternated with the girl's voice, "Ask them...why did they burn me to death."

   As soon as these words came out, an inexplicable chill suddenly swept the whole room.

Ah?

   Su Lun never expected that she would suddenly say such a sentence.

   He immediately realized that the truth of the matter is not that simple.

   It turns out that Pestoya was burned to death by her parents?

   How could it be possible that in a harmonious and loving family, parents burned their favorite little daughter to death?

where is the problem?

   Is Pestoya having a problem, or is it a problem with her parents?

   However, it was too late to think about it. At this moment, Pestoya seemed to be touched by a demon in the bottom of her heart. There was a black mist on her body, and she was about to run away.

   Seeing this scene, Su Lun decisively stretched out his hand and gently touched her head.

   Probably because of enough goodwill, Pestoya suddenly fell silent with comfort. She slowly raised her head, and her eyes full of red light gradually returned to calm.

  Su Lun nodded solemnly: "Okay! I promise you."

   It turned out that she had also bravely loved the world, but the world gave her endless pain.

   "Goodbye."

   Pestoya grinned at him, her eyes as clear as the starry sky, still so innocent and cute, "I am also very happy to meet you, Mr. Sulun..."
