Chapter 24 The Origin of Witches and Sculptures
Zhao Xun smiled and asked, "Isn't Ruby human?"
The sculpture was stunned, with its mouth open and no words came out for a while.
"Since you saved Ruby, it proves that you like Ruby very much. Then you should know that human beings are not all treacherous and bad people." Zhao Xun followed the instructions.
The sculpture's expression was tangled. After a long while, she looked at Zhao Xun and asked, "How do I know you are a good person?"
"You don't need to think that I am a good person, you just need to believe that I will not harm Ruby in this matter." Zhao Xun said firmly.
His main mission is not to hand Ruby over to the security services, nor is it to have Ruby burned to death as a witch, so even if Ruby is really an evil witch, he does not have to hurt Ruby.
What's more, judging from all the information collected so far, everyone's evaluation of Ruby is "a good person, hardworking and enthusiastic", which shows that everyone liked Ruby before she was discovered to be a witch.
Even if she is a witch, she may not have much to do with "evil".
Coupled with the sculpture's protectiveness towards Ruby and anger towards other humans, it makes people think that Ruby may not be evil.
Then, the case of "Xiao Ai's parents were killed by Ruby" needs to be discussed.
In short, no matter from which point of view, there was no need for him to do anything to hurt Ruby.
The sculpture was having a battle between heaven and man in its mind, and then it said awkwardly: "I can't tell you where Ruby is hiding."
This sentence is a disguised admission that Ruby was indeed the one she hid.
Zhao Xun did not dwell on this issue and asked instead: "Then can you tell me the past between you and Ruby? Tell me the story between you and her in detail."
The sculpture thought carefully for a while, and after making sure that talking about the past would not reveal any information about Ruby's present, he agreed: "I can tell you, but you have to keep it secret. If you let me know that you told others, I will Kill you."
After saying that, she raised her fist in a threatening manner.
Zhao Xun smiled: "Okay."
Things are progressing as he expected.
Skylight effect, also known as house demolition effect.
During the negotiation process, first make a request that the other party is unwilling to accept, then lower the conditions and make a request that is easier for the other party to accept. In this way, the probability of the other party agreeing will be very high.
In fact, what Zhao Xun wanted to know was the origin of the sculpture and Ruby.
Just asking directly, he couldn't guarantee that the sculpture would be willing to talk, so he used a little strategy.
The sculpture calmed down its thoughts and told the story from the very beginning.
"Ruby has been a maid in the Duke's Mansion since she was a child. She is lively and active, and she has explored the entire Duke's Mansion. Therefore, she even discovered me, who was abandoned in a deep corner."
"She loves sculpture very much. Even if I am in a corner like this, with no one paying attention or watching, she insists on wiping my body every day. Every time she is in front of me, she tells me her troubles. As time goes by, I I gradually became conscious.”
"After a few years, my consciousness became clearer and clearer, and I was able to speak. She was not afraid of me, but was happy that I could 'survive'. She also preferred to communicate with me and even told me Stories, gossip.”
"After that, she would occasionally bring some trinkets to dress me up. She said that girls love to be beautiful."
"Probably because she talks to me every day, my intelligence is getting higher and higher, and I gradually gain the ability to move freely. However, I can only move outside for half an hour a day, and most of the time I still have to stay like a sculpture. here."
"It was when I was free to move around that I heard the news that she had been arrested as a witch and was about to be burned at the stake. They also said that Ruby had killed innocent town residents. I didn't believe it. Ruby was definitely not like that. The bad guy!"
"So, I rescued her and hid her. I wanted to protect her."
Having said this, the sculpture looked at Zhao Xun for a moment: "No one can hurt her."
The warning is clear.
Zhao Xun was not afraid, but his smile became softer: "For you, it was Ruby who gave you life."
"That's right." The sculpture admitted frankly, "Ruby is both my friend and the mother who gave me life. She is the only, irreplaceable and important existence to me."
As soon as the sculpture finished speaking, another translucent pop-up window popped up in front of Zhao Xun.
[Congratulations to player Zhao Xun for completing stage one of the hidden mission: the relationship between the witch and the sculpture. The witch gave the sculpture life and intelligence with passion and love. 】
[Hidden Mission Phase 2: Find out the truth about the girl Ruby being identified as a witch and clear her name. 】
Zhao Xun raised an eyebrow slightly.
Looking at the content of this second stage, it seems that Ruby's identity as a witch was imposed by others, so Ruby is just an ordinary person?
Speaking of which, Ruby was captured by the security guards and tied to the stake, with no way to escape.
From this point of view, he is indeed more like an ordinary person with no abilities.
However, can an ordinary person make the sculpture intelligent just by talking to it for many years?
Not likely.
Either Ruby has some special ability, or the sculpture itself is special.
Given that Ruby had been exposed to all the sculptures in the Duke's Palace for a long time, but only this sculpture produced spiritual intelligence, Zhao Xun was more inclined to think that there was something special about this sculpture, and that Ruby herself was indeed an ordinary person.
Now that he has learned more about the situation, his initial speculations have been completely overturned.
"Hey! Why don't you speak?" Seeing Zhao Xun's wandering look, the sculpture couldn't help but say, "Are you scared?"
Zhao Xun came back to his senses: "I was thinking."
"Thinking about what?" the sculpture asked.
"You think Ruby didn't kill the town residents, do you have any evidence to prove it?" Zhao Xun asked.
The sculpture was stunned: "I...I..."
After stuttering several times, she said angrily: "Even if I don't have evidence, I can be 100% sure that Ruby was wrongly accused!"
"Did Ruby tell you how she was wrongly accused?" Zhao Xun didn't care about the sculpture's attitude and asked instead, "As the person involved, she always knows more about the inside story than others."
The sculpture's angry expression slowly disappeared, and she lowered her head in frustration: "I asked her many times, but she refused to tell me, saying she was afraid that it would drag me down if I found out."
"Then have you found anything else wrong?" Zhao Xun patiently guided, "Anything is fine, as long as it is something you think is abnormal."
The sculpture carefully recalled it for a while and then said: "A month ago, Ruby mentioned to me that a couple was killed and she was very sad because she could not save the couple, and she was very worried about that couple. The couple’s daughter will end up like her.”
Zhao Xun immediately asked: "Same ending? What do you mean?"
