The entire puppet was shocked, and the distorted face didn't look scary but funny.

It raised its slender hand and turned its head down—Jiang Huai was pinching the seam between its head and body—after the head was turned down, its lower body fell off, and then the wooden head "cracked" Da" rolled to the ground, and the slender puppet, which was only arm high, picked up his head again, and gave Jiang Huai a sinister look with his head.

It was too short, so Jiang Huai pretended not to see it.

Now only Youying can move around, Jianghuai and the others are fixed in their positions, following the normal process——

It's just playing mandarin ducks.

If everything is normal, the process should be: the three people being manipulated beat Jiang Huai to death, and then...

Jiang Huai guessed that his own body would not be wasted, but would be revived by the control of the domain through the identity of "White Mask" to hunt down and kill the other three people.

—These are the plots of the two acts.

As for the pink clothes, if he had chosen in the first place, he would have suffered an extra scene.

As a result, Jiang Huai and You Ying now represent the living mandarin duck and the dead mandarin duck appearing at the same time.

How to perform the play "Beating Mandarin Ducks"?

"Continue rehearsing, don't stop!" the puppet said, its tone was like a busy Yang Bailao, full of the irritability of the 007 work system and the anger of another mistake in work, "you are going to be on stage, but there is no scene Finished."

【Message Panel】The time is up——

Jiang Huai: The three of us are still in the room, controlled by a puppet to perform Huangmei Opera, and the other two strangers are college students who have disappeared, but five people came out of the four-person play, and the situation is unknown for the time being.

Xu Group: After cleaning, the puppet inspected the results, and then drove the three of us to the back kitchen to serve the dishes. We found a female corpse in the kitchen waste in the back kitchen. It seemed to be one of the five college students. The puppet in the back kitchen asked We want to make meat dim sum or vegetarian dim sum, but if the customers are not satisfied, we can make dim sum.

Team member C: I met the two missing college students, both girls. They were surprisingly powerful. They even had guns and a knife that could cut through walls, but it was useless. There was no ghost behind me, but just a Costumes... It's weird, we made a big fuss, and now all three have been caught.I don't know where it will be sent.

Ji Bo: Someone touched my leg just now, I don't know if it's a human being, but the cricket called!Then I gave it mung bean cake... It gave me a short candle and a long candle, I lit the short one, now I go out, but there seems to be something in the shadows around!The candles are really hot!Can I attach candles to cricket jars?

Deputy Zhang, who also saw the message, was relieved, but his heart was still heavy.

Although several of them are alive, one of the "five college students" died, and the others are obviously not safe... And here they are—

While reading the message, they didn't stop, they were circling the room funny.

Because after the puppet said "continue to rehearse", everyone's body moved against their own will.

Deputy Zhang was forced to hunt down Jianghuai at the beginning, but the yellow clothes on the side were blocking him on the surface, but in fact he was pulling aside, deliberately blocking in front of Jianghuai, but Jianghuai didn't actually run away, because his people set up "mandarin ducks" who couldn't run away, and at most dodged A few times, and Hei Yi also had to be beaten, less than Jiang Huai. At the same time, his character was designed to run faster than Jiang Huai, and occasionally he would hit Jiang Huai with black feet.

——They only have their mouths to move, and their bodies are manipulated, and their mouths are able to move for them to sing their lines.

Of course, the few of them had never learned opera accents, and they sang out of tune, which was definitely not pleasant to listen to, but as long as they sang, the puppet would make a "hee hee" laugh.

After moving his body, the yellow mask raised his voice and said, "Remember the libretto, don't let the mask speak for you."

After letting the mask speak slowly, he found something wrong with his body—although they couldn't control the body, they still knew that the body belonged to them, but the mask sang a few words, but they felt that the ownership of the body was being deprived. As if something invaded part of it.

What if everyone is like this?The yellow mask didn't have time to think about it. He had to tell the news to let others know. Maybe he could find a glimmer of life.

"Hee hee," the puppet laughed again. It was sitting on the edge of the table, looking like a spectator. "As long as this scene is finished and the mandarin duck is killed, you can go down and rest."

Meaning to get them out of this room?

The others lifted their spirits, but Deputy Zhang was full of worries.

She could hardly concentrate on thinking about other things, because she only sang the libretto once, and she had to repeat her own in full, and she had to pay attention to answering other people's lyrics, and her subordinates had to chase after Jiang Huai to beat him—it didn't matter if he hit a child or hit someone else's house The child, and the purpose is to beat the child to death - but she can't control herself.

And Jianghuai also noticed that Deputy Zhang and the other two at level 2 would not be able to break the defense against him, but his blood volume decreased proportionally with the progress of "story" and "lines", which seemed to be related to the level. The difference is irrelevant.

——If you die here, it should be considered a plot kill.

Only one person needs to be sacrificed, and the other three can live, but:

"This is just a rehearsal. If you die during the rehearsal," You Ying, as a "senior sister", watched her junior brother being beaten coldly, and didn't speak until his blood volume dropped to half. "What if we don't have enough people when we are officially on stage?"

The puppet looked startled again, Jiang Huai has been paying attention to it, and found that it always seems to subconsciously ignore the "bug" Youying.

Puppet: "Dead in rehearsal? How could it be possible to die in rehearsal? We don't have dead people here! Go, go, don't stay here, it's really in the way—"

Its button eyeballs rolled around, with a slight cold light: "You...it's not your turn...you just—wait, what are you going to do? Let me go!"

You Ying picked it up, walked through the busy people to the back of the screen, even yawned casually, and then grabbed the hanging hemp rope.

The puppet frantically tried to decompose its own body, but "You Ying" had already discovered: "You are actually useless at all, you are not the one who really controls our actions—"

Rather... Jiang Huai thought, it was a mask.

[Stage] The height is about [-] meters, and the puppet pushes the bricks away and closes them very fast. If Jiang Huai hadn’t been paying attention to the top of his head, and he has the bonus of footwork and quick response, he would not have succeeded in pulling the puppet down. Then suppose While the puppets aren't down, they'll still "rehearse" the play, explaining that the object that's making them physically uncontrollable isn't a puppet—the guy's just pretending.

Although it was weird and terrifying to remove its head when it was in Jianghuai's hands, it also showed that it had no way of fighting at all——

Otherwise, why not remove Jianghuai's head?

In this case……

"No one will 'die' during the rehearsal, because even if we die during the rehearsal, the body can still be controlled by the mask, and the mask can even sing better than us..." You Ying said, "At the moment when we put on the mask , our lives are counting down."

You Ying held the puppet and sent it to the rope ring... According to the plot, "Mandarin Duck" was not completely killed, but hanged in the middle of the night.

But the deeper plot is that "Mandarin Duck" was not completely beaten to death, "Wang Er" came to her and strangled her to death, and then pretended to hang herself.

And no matter which plot it is, it means that as long as the neck is put into this hemp rope, the blood volume of "Mandarin Duck" will be archived to zero.

—The same goes for puppets.

The puppet began to struggle crazily, as if falling off, all its parts disintegrated in an instant, and ran in all directions, but it was fast, and the speed of the shadow was faster than it, as long as the puppet had a shadow under the light.

"No! Stop! What are you going to do!" The puppet's head was pinched, and the hat didn't know where it fell off, so it could only scream, "Are you going to leave here——"

You Ying: "Can you give me the key!?"

Puppet: "No, no, of course not, but as long as you finish your performance, you can leave. I can let you perform in advance—"

As its voice fell, the others froze.

On the table, the candlelight was still flickering, casting light and shadows in all directions, but You Ying paused and smiled: "You said that when the candle burns out and we haven't finished the performance, we have to be trapped here to die, but my identity The content of the performance must wait for them to finish... and the candle can't wait for that time."

So the purpose of the puppet from the very beginning was to watch Youying die coldly.

The puppet was obviously afraid of the hemp rope, and said: "Advance! You advance! As long as you kill everyone, you can leave. Why do you embarrass me, an ordinary puppet?"

Their voices were not deliberately lowered. As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the rest of the people under the masks were different, especially the black and yellow, their hearts were beating extremely fast.

But You Ying looked directly at the puppet, and said with a low smile, "No, I can control you, but it's because I'm an outsider now. Once I become a part of the play, don't you do whatever you want?"

The puppet was almost wronged to death.

"You have to rehearse this scene, I can't revise the script, what can I do to you!"

In the few minutes they were wrangling with each other, the candle had already burned almost half the length of a finger, and it must have burned out in a few more minutes.

It means that the candle itself is only enough to complete one act.

Heiyi screamed: "What are you doing... are you going to kill us all? Hurry up and continue acting!"

But the puppets are controlled, and Jiang Huai speculates that although the puppets cannot change the drama, they can stop them from performing.

Vice Zhang couldn't bear it any longer, and scolded: "Shut up!"

Although death is clearly approaching, she still believes in the people on her side... You Ying will think of a way, right?Wouldn't she not save her junior brother?

But You Ying was still slow, as if he was sorting out his thoughts:

"The total time the candles burn is only long enough for us to complete one act."

"You can make us stop and start, but not the script."

"There is no 'death', because the 'dead' people in the rehearsal can still be controlled by the mask to complete the stage performance it should complete."

"You don't want us all to fold here, do you... because if all of them are controlled by masks, it will affect the performance, little puppet?"

The little puppet opened its mouth with a click: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

The candle was about to burn out, and everyone was anxious, but You Ying asked the last question: "Can you decide to let us act in that scene? I'm afraid not, but no matter which scene is completed, it means that "Fighting Mandarin Duck" The play was successfully rehearsed... so the two acts can be done together, can't they?"

The puppet looked up suspiciously, looked at the fool who was about to take everyone to his death, and said sinisterly: "It's too late."

The candle burns out.

But at the moment when the light was completely extinguished, it actually heard the woman laughing in the dark.

Jiang Huai jumped down again and came to the stage. At this time, there were still 30 seconds before the first message, and 30 and [-] seconds before the second message.

The black clothes stood up abruptly, the yellow clothes took a step back, and the red-clothed Zhang Fu raised his head suspiciously——

You Ying took a step forward, kicked the black clothes over, stepped on the man with one foot, collected his gun, loaded it, and pointed the muzzle at the yellow clothes.

Recovering from the freezing of movements, Huang Yi, who wanted to investigate the indoor situation, encountered this situation before he even had time to turn around: "...What do you mean?"

You Ying's voice carried a consistent smile: "You guys know why," she said with a slight trembling of her wrists, turning into a shadow with the gun, and returning to the original state, "Now hold your head and squat down, I will I have something to ask you."

Huang Yi paused for a moment, then actually squatted down, and asked back: "Are you... an awakened one? We, have we met before?"

He still looks calm, but in fact, it can be seen from various subtle movements that he is very nervous.

Deputy Zhang looked here and there, and realized that something seemed wrong with these two strangers.

Youying groaned for a moment, and he really couldn't help spit out more details: "Master Awakened," he seemed to default that "Youying" was an "awakened", "This is the first time I've come to upgrade, so it stands to reason There will be no intersection with you, if I have offended you before, I am willing to use ■■ to apologize."

He seemed to have given up all resistance—

Awakened?Is it a higher-level "stowaway"? He seems to be so sure when he sees the transformation of Youying's body parts into the shadow. Then this is the kind of stowaway who "can complete the transformation of extraordinary abilities"?Jiang Huai thought of the Zuo Yao he had seen before, and found that even though they were high-level, they used more props, and their physical fitness had not been strengthened in all directions—even Zuo Yao of lv11 was like this. It seemed that becoming an "awakened person" required A certain opportunity.

... This opportunity seems to be the "upgrade xx" they said, referring to the dungeon?

30s arrived soon, their conversation and thinking were fleeting, but this time Jianghuai gave up the opportunity to leave a message and gave it to Zhang Fu, wanting to see what Zhang Fu heard.

【Message panel】

Deputy Zhang: I was with the Youchi faction, and there were two strangers. I am not sure if they are missing college students. They carry weapons and think that Youying is an awakened person. , they may have mental problems.Pay attention to "masks, costumes", all five of us have them.

During these 30 seconds, Jiang Huai was not idle either. He dragged out the bench behind him. The hemp rope was fixed by something and he could not untie it. He simply took out a roll of strong nylon rope from his sleeve, and then In the shocked eyes of the people, he tied the black clothes to the bench.

According to the original plot, it should be "Mandarin Duck", that is, Jianghuai himself, who was beaten to death and lying on it.

The brick above moved lightly, a puppet face appeared, the light in the room disappeared instantly, and the candle stood on the table in an instant.

And like the previous CD, the puppet had no time to react and was pulled down again.

It didn't know that it was scored twice, and wanted to curse and say something, Jianghuai said: "Our task is to complete the scene of "Beating Mandarin Ducks", and we can only finish it before the candle burns out." Get the key to get out, or you'll be stuck here forever."

Puppet: "Yes—"

Jiang Huai continued to grab the words: "This is the information I found in the room I came in. A pink mask suddenly spoke and told me this, and this scene is clearly a play of five people!"

Puppet: "What—"

its not right!This is different from what you said!

Jiang Huai said: "Is there any problem? Aren't we just five now?"

The puppet was stunned, turned its head, and noticed the shadow of the white mask. It was completely stunned, and said: "You—"

You Ying laughed lowly: "If it's not five people, why are there just five of us in the room?"

Everyone else thought what she said was right, yes, after the two of them appeared, the three people in the original room could move.

Puppet: "But—"

Jiang Huai shook his neck: "Isn't it? It's impossible for there to be one more person! Isn't that the mistake of the behind-the-scenes workers?"

The puppet behaves like a squawky duck with its mouth pinched.

And Jianghuai didn't deliberately grab the talk, but had to race against time——

He guessed that the reason why the masks started to sing is because they have the "alive nature". If they start the show one step earlier, can they suppress the activity of the masks?In this case……

Jiang Huai said: "Mother didn't believe in mandarin ducks, Granny Feng fanned the flames, and Wang Er was an irresponsible villain. In the end, he strangled mandarin ducks to death with his own hands. The three of them were the chief culprits in the death of mandarin ducks—then mandarin ducks turned into ghosts and returned after death. , just to get revenge on the three of them."

He was right, the puppet could only nod.

And the several people looked at each other, obviously understanding what was going on with their respective roles.

Shocked by the force, the black clothes groaned, while the yellow clothes did not move for the time being.

You Ying smiled: "But Lord Yan Wang didn't want Yuanyang to make more mistakes, so he let her go back to an earlier time, and she found that she could change the past, and 'Yuanyang' is not dead yet, so the hostility is not so heavy, just It was stopping mother, allowing 'Yuanyang' to explain the reason clearly, breaking the dog man's leg, and making Granny Feng suffer... that's all. Am I right?"

Naturally, she also claimed her identity, that is, "dead mandarin duck".

Deputy Zhang pondered: "Then this is a happy ending that comes after all hardships..."

The puppet stared wide-eyed:

Correct!

Right shit!

Don't just start making up the plot on your own, okay?

It will never accept this!

It, it...it heard that woman Youying spoke again.

"No way, we're just rehearsing. Since it's just a rehearsal and not an official stage appearance, the plot is always negotiable..." She sighed, "But if something goes wrong on the official stage, for example, there are four actors in a show but five actors appear on stage, Let the audience be dissatisfied, I don't know who will be unlucky?"
