The Big Devil vs. the Dark Villain

"Do you really want to take him with you?" Qi Xiu asked hesitantly.

“Is it not possible? Little Eggplant, hurry up and fix it. The Mechanical Heart should be integrated today, right?” Nan Zhiyi reminded as if he didn’t notice anything wrong.

"Is it okay?" Qi Xiu hesitated thoughtfully. The moment he picked up the tool, he seemed to be a different person, full of vigor and confidence. "It's a small matter. Just wait."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Mr. Qi Jiche." Nan Zhiyi yawned lazily, and fell asleep slowly leaning on the iron chain.

My good friend, please don’t be so stupid and do something stupid!

The iron chain that was originally creaking gradually became quiet.

Qi Xiu paused, turned around and looked at Nan Zhiyi with complicated eyes.

Xiao Zhiyi, wait for me, it will be almost there. I will definitely help you get back. No one else can occupy your body and do anything wrong.

Song Huaixi was in a daze, as if he had returned to that dark place.

A skinny old man in a black robe stood in front of a head, muttering ancient spells.

The bell at the door felt like it was tinkling in the wind. The old man sensed a familiar breath and instantly opened his cloudy eyes, looking straight ahead.

"You're back?"

Song Huaixi looked at him in confusion and talked to himself.

The old man slowly turned around and continued to ask, "How is the task I gave you going?"

"Everything is going well." Song Huaixi heard himself say this, and the confusion in his eyes deepened.

Am I not a puppet? How did I suddenly appear here and answer him? What is the mission?

"Good boy, you did very well." The old man reached out his hand and stroked his head kindly, with a red string tied around his wrist fluttering in the wind.

"Go back quickly before he notices."

Before Song Huaixi could react, he felt as if he was pushed out, his body drifting towards an unknown place and falling into darkness.

"Okay, come and take a look." Qi Xiu put away his tools with a tired look on his face and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Nan Zhiyi was awakened and stretched, revealing red marks on her limbs. She jumped off the swing and walked in front of Song Huaixi.

His limbs were fixed with iron chains and he was hanging on the ground. His heart was exposed and covered with black and gold runes, beating like a human heart.

—Dongdong—

Each sound is sonorous and powerful, carrying the unique melody of life.

His fingers slid across the surface of the heart and suddenly stopped at one place. The soft fingers instantly turned into sharp blades and took out a black chip from it.

There was a hole in his heart, and golden red liquid was flowing out like crazy, healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Nan Zhiyi stood up, threw the fragments in his hand to the ground, and looked at him indifferently, "Prince Qiu, why do you have to resort to such despicable means?

If you are unhappy with me, you can just say it out loud. Why do you have to hurt him on purpose?"

"I didn't." Qi Xiu said excitedly, with a look of innocence and grievance. "You've only known him for a few days, and you actually believe him and not me!"

"We know the truth very well." Nan Zhiyi said coldly, cut the chain with a wave of his hand, picked up the man and walked out the door.

"Since you don't like me bringing him here, I won't come. I can just learn how to install it for him myself."

"Are you really going to do this for him?" Qi Xiu spoke in disbelief, breathing rapidly.

"Yes." Nan Zhiyi said firmly.

"Nan Zhiyi, are you really going to ignore our years of friendship and forget our original vows for him?"

"Qi Xiu, I've said it before. You are nothing more than a useful tool for me. I can do whatever I want. When will you have the space to do anything?"

Nan Zhiyi said domineeringly and ruthlessly, and quickly disappeared into the street and returned to the attic.

To be honest, he is not very good at mechanical repair in this world, but for the sake of the little guy, he can learn it. Dolls and puppets are almost the same anyway.

Thinking of him stroking and trying to repair Song Huaixi, she sat by the window with a book and leaned against him to examine it carefully.

A gust of rose petals were blown by the wind and floated into the attic, and in the blink of an eye they turned into a princess in a black and red court dress.

“The Kingdom of Giles has started a war, and they want us to hand you over.

The first stop is the fairytale town, are you ready?" Princess Rose said quickly.

Nan Zhiyi looked at the slow-moving passers-by outside the window and nodded to show that she understood.

“Did the ugly duckling become a swan?”

"What?" Princess Rose asked in surprise, confused for a moment, "How can you care about those things at this time!"

"Let me put it another way. Have all the invaders been cleared out?"

"No, they seem to have found something and hid themselves. We are still ten people short of finding them." Princess Rose said with a serious expression.

"Then check the people around you carefully. Maybe you will find something unexpected." Nan Zhiyi suggested casually while writing and drawing.

Princess Rose reacted after hearing his words, and turned into petals again and left in a hurry, "I'll check it out right away."

After she left, Princess and the Pea came out from the corner and looked at him in silence.

Nan Zhiyi asked her question without even turning her head, "You want to ask me why I helped her, right?"

"Yes, but I want to know which side you are on?" The Princess and the Pea asked suspiciously, the peas in her hand kept growing and sprouting.

"No one is standing on my side, you can understand it as I am standing for myself." Nan Zhiyi looked at her little action and chuckled.

"Your Majesty the Puppet King is so arrogant. Do you think you can win over all of us by yourself?"

Princess Pea sneered disdainfully, but the next second Song Huaixi held a dagger to her neck, and she instantly changed her expression.

"Why don't you laugh anymore? Mo Tiansheng doesn't like to laugh?" Nan Zhiyi asked sarcastically. Princess Pea was so angry that her teeth were itching, but unfortunately, her vital point was controlled and she could only pretend to be a grandson.

"Huaixi, throw her down for me." Nan Zhiyi said in a deep voice with disdain.

Nothing dares to dance in front of me.

The Princess and the Pea stood up angrily, holding her waist. She felt very embarrassed when she saw the little eyes of those around her who were watching the fun.

"How did you fall, sister? You make me feel so sad!" Qiuya suddenly appeared and supported the Princess and the Pea, speaking with a distressed look on her face.

"What else can I do? I was pushed!" Princess Pea pushed her away and said unhappily, "Are you going to avenge me?"

Qiu Ya smiled awkwardly and covered her face with a round fan, "Look at what my sister said, I am devoted to you, but you are playing tricks on me.

How can I be a match for His Majesty the Puppet King?"

As she said this, she tapped her in a wronged and coquettish manner, and cast her little eyes at her without anyone noticing.

The Princess and the Pea was very angry at the moment and had no time to flatter her. She pushed her away and limped towards her room without noticing her little movements.

"You're eating alone again!" The old mayor appeared out of nowhere, with a wrinkled and cunning face.

Qiu Ya was startled and raised her hands to punch him. "Weren't you busy? Why are you back?"

"It's a small matter. The river was frozen today and many ducks were frozen to death. Everyone suffered a heavy loss!" The old mayor sighed, and suddenly took out a dead duck from somewhere and handed it to her.

"No, I brought this specially for you, okay?"

"Are you sure you want to give it to me?" Qiu Ya looked at him in doubt. She always felt that this old man wanted to murder her.

"No need. I ate a lot yesterday. I'm not hungry yet." Qiuya said with an exaggerated burp, refusing.

"I originally wanted to thank Granny Blood for giving me food, but I didn't expect you to refuse it. It seems that I was overthinking it, and you don't care about these material things!"

"Forget it, I'll just eat it myself."

As the old mayor spoke, he looked at her secretly and pretended to eat it in one bite.

Seeing that he was serious, Qiu Ya snatched the food from his mouth without hesitation and gobbled it up ravenously. "Little guy, you want to trick me into eating alone? You are still a little stunned."

Qiuya took a bite and laughed smugly.

The old mayor seemed to have anticipated her reaction. He smiled mysteriously and said nothing.

Qiuya's confidence was gone in an instant. She looked at him in doubt and surprise. She didn't know whether to eat the food in her mouth or not. She was in a dilemma.
