I really only stop

——Finally, Mamai, the explorer-type ender puppet who had brought endless fear to Celica and Lucy, stood silently beside Nana.

Chapter 112 The Wisdom of Dolls

【…】

Strangely, after Mamayi was summoned, it didn't go to investigate the surroundings immediately, but stood beside Nana, looking down at her silently.

Mamayi, who is nearly two meters tall, has a thin body, and looks like an enderman from a distance, stands with the restless soft girl Nana. Apart from being weird, it actually makes people feel a sense of peace of mind.

Under the uneasy gaze of Lu Xi and Celica, Nana tilted her head slightly, as if talking to [who] in a low voice:

【…】

"Well... I also know that being afraid at this time will only hinder Lu Xi and the others, but I'm really not good at dealing with these supernatural things. As long as I hear news of ghosts, I'm scared to death. I can't lift my legs..."

【…】

"This, this is a habit since I was a child! Because I have no friends, I can only be alone when I listen to ghost stories, and I go back to my room to sleep alone after listening to it... It's really scary."

【…】

Nana was silent for an unexpectedly long time this time.After a few minutes, the girl's voice sounded again - with a positiveness that had never been there before:

"—Hmm! You're right! I'm no longer a poor kid who can only listen to ghost stories alone. As long as Lucy is there, all difficulties can be overcome safely!"

【…】

"Don't worry, I'm completely fine! Can I ask you to check the surrounding environment?"

【…】

As if a switch had just been turned on, an unknown light flashed in Mamai's deep eyes, and then it disappeared into the shadows at an incredible speed.

... Is it an illusion?Feels like it just stayed by my side for a second?

When Lu Xi was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a little tug on the corner of his clothes.Looking down, it was Celica's pitiful expression [nervous.jpg] that caught my eyes:

"Weak, weak and weak... Could it be that Nana just now was talking to that puppet named Mamayi?"

Are you still struggling with that? !

Lu Xi was silent, raised his hand, and sighed long under Celica's puzzled eyes:

"...In this world, it's better not to know some secrets."

----------

As expected of an investigative doll, Mamai emerged from the shadow beside Nana after a while.It waved its bamboo pole-like arms at everyone.The four of Lu Xi also moved their heads together in cooperation.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Mamai bent down slightly, and with a wave of her hand, she wiped the grass next to it into dirt, and painted something on it.

The more you look at certain blocks, the more familiar they become. Lu Xi raised his head and looked at the buildings with obvious features in his vision, and said with a sense of comprehension:

"This is... a map of the town?"

【…】

Mamai looked up at Lu Xi again, then lowered her head and began to add patterns.

Although it's just a guess... But could it be [approving] me just now?

Lucy scratched his cheek.

The feeling of being praised by a ghost doll is actually not bad?

Mamayi drew at a very fast speed, and in a short while, a complete map appeared on the soil surface, accompanied by detailed and beautiful annotations in cursive characters.Regardless of the fact that this is actually a painting on the soil, Lu Xi even thinks that this map can be sent to a museum for exhibition just because of the simple yet gorgeous style of painting.

The problem is, the word beautiful is beautiful...

"Zelika...no, forget it."

Thinking about Zelika's educational level, Lu Xi decisively turned her head to Yushia: "Yusia, do you know the words written by Mamai?"

"Do not……"

Yuxia, a talented student from the sanctuary, rarely showed a troubled expression: "This seems to be a language used by nobles in ancient times. If there is no dedicated document, I am afraid that only the most knowledgeable scholars in this world can interpret it—why? Can Nana's doll write such complicated characters? Did Nana make some mistakes when designing it?"

Yuxia, she still thinks that Nana's dolls are all designed and made by herself, right?

Gaining a new understanding of Yushia's naturalness, Lu Xi sighed, and turned to look at Zelika, who had become pissed because of his hesitation to speak just now.

Alas, the silly boy is angry again.If you want to coax her well, you have to pay more than half of my moral value——

----------

"—Oh, the holder of forbidden knowledge, the jet-black demon flame user who possesses forbidden power!"

Lu Xi took a deep breath, imitating the cadence and emphasis in operas and sang loudly:

"My insignificant wisdom is not worth mentioning in front of your eyes. If possible, please let me touch your holy body and share wisdom as small as a spoonful of water!"

Well, I know what you're trying to say.Although it sounded like a harassing speech, this guy Zerika unexpectedly followed suit.

"Okay, okay!"

Sure enough, Celica, who was hooked again, had a bit of joy on her red face, but she deliberately pretended not to care, and stretched out a small hand to Lu Xi: "Accept my gift! ! Mortal! But, are you ready to bear the forbidden knowledge?"

"Yeah, it's done, it's done."

Responding repeatedly, Lu Xi skillfully held Celica's little hand, and Tiamat's information panel popped up as promised:

[Ding, you have received a text message from 'Origin of Beasts' Tiamat. 】

[Respectfully, the mysterious great existence, please inform Lu Xi as follows:]

[All information in the town is hidden by some kind of weirdness. There are no shadows of undead or evil spirits here. Similarly, there are only you four traces of humans.In addition, Miss Nana is indeed afraid of events related to ghosts and ghosts. If possible, Lu Xi must take good care of her. 】

[Finally, I would like to extend my highest greetings to you, the great existence that has hidden its true face. Please also convey my greetings to Lu Xi and his teammates. Thank you very much. 】

【Ding, you have received a text message from Tiamat, the 'Bane of Destruction'. 】

【—Look at the meaning of this little guy, it seems to have sensed the connection between you and me, the son of a man with a wonderful partner. 】

indeed so.

Lu Xi subconsciously glanced at Mamai's direction, and found that the other party's eyes just happened to be facing this way.

【…】

It was obviously the same silence as before, but Lu Xi, who had received the exact message from the other party, felt that there was something else hidden in it.

This is the first time that Nana's puppet has clearly expressed its will.

It wasn't a supernatural unfolding, it wasn't a gloomy gaze, and it wasn't moving on its own—the other party's greeting so clearly made Lu Xi feel less anxious.

As expected of a specialized type of investigation, not only did I realize that I may have an invisible connection with some ancient existence, but also made me understand this through the way of textual translation.Just looking at the intelligence that Mamayi is showing now, I don't know how many Zelikas are as tall.

[Also, son of thinking man, I want to tell you one more thing. 】

While Lu Xi was thinking, Tiamat popped another light screen:

[After I read the content of the conversation, my body was suddenly affected by an unknown curse-but it doesn't matter at all, I am very strong in Tiamat!This little injury healed in less than an instant~]

"Cough, cough!"

After coughing dryly, Lu Xi covered his head with his free hand.

It’s not good to talk to Tiamat for a long time. His [Magic of Charm] effect is too strong. A careless, gentle and plump vision of the big sister next door fills my whole mind.

【As far as I can guess, communicating directly with that puppet will receive this curse of unknown origin.Although it's not a big deal to me, but relying on the strength of the Son of Man, it is very likely that there will be terrible consequences-I'm afraid that's why that puppet communicates with you in such a roundabout way. 】

Tiamat paused, and continued to send this message:

[Also, son of a person with a delicate friendship luck, you have to pay special attention to that child named Nana.Being able to communicate with this doll without barriers, her special gift was rare even when I was active.If you don’t take good care of it, such a good girl will run away with others~]

...Why do you feel like a big sister who is worried about your brother's girlfriend and yellow hair running away?

Resisting the untimely complaints, Lu Xi nodded and mouthed: "I see, thank you for your help, Tiamat."

【It's okay, it's okay~ It's fun to find something to do for yourself while looking at the stars-then, goodbye~】

【The son of a man who may encounter 'very interesting' things. 】

PS: Do you think Big Sister Tiamat is just looking at the stars cutely!It is too sweet!

Chapter 113 The Encounter Between the Soft Girl and the Younger Sister

Although the conversation with Tiamat was brief, the information revealed in it was enough for Lu Xi to think about it for a while.

Although I learned about Nana's amazing undead talent from the system very early on, and a series of supernatural events that happened later also proved this point.But after all, these are just imaginations in his mind. It was not until today, when Mamayi clearly expressed his will through the mouth of Tiamat, that Lu Xi really had a real sense of this matter.At the same time, more doubts followed.

Who was Mamai before her death?Is the superb detection ability a skill mastered during life or an ability acquired after becoming a puppet?What does it hold about Nana and even about us?

Judging from the respect and etiquette it showed when facing Tiamat, Mamayi's identity was at least not that simple.

but--

Glancing at the quiet town, Lu Xi reached out and pulled the chat record with Tiamat to the map on the ground, and checked it carefully.

——Yeah, right now it's better to focus on what happened in the town.

--------

Lucy is really serious.

After carefully checking Mamai's situation, Nana subconsciously looked at Lu Xi, who was deep in thought, with a trace of unknown fluctuations flashing in her eyes.

Cheerful and optimistic...Lu Xi seems to be born with a magical power that makes people relax and feel at ease.I knew this from the moment he rescued me from Chug Tug.

After saving me, he brought me back to Rhine City in an incredible way.He obviously didn't know anyone, but he was able to go to the guild to talk to Ms. OL by himself.When he encountered the dilemma of lack of people in the team, and even I felt that no one could help him except myself, he brought back Yushia like magic, and formed a team in an instant.These are things that I simply can't do.

In comparison, if I hadn't met Lucy because I was too timid to even apply for an adventurer to Ms. OL, I'm afraid I'd still be able to live alone at home making dolls, only when buying food. The life of barely speaking a word with the peddler.

But now, when everyone is holding back because of timidity, Lu Xi offered to take this S-level task, not even for reward, just for the simplest but noblest task of "helping others". reason--

Looking at Lu Xi's pensive side face, the girl lightly clenched her fists.

- That's right!I want to follow his shadow too!Even if the strength is not strong, you must do your best to help!

After some self-encouragement, Nana just wanted to step forward to think with Lu Xi, but when she took a step, she was startled by a 'click' sound coming from her feet:

"Yah~"

Originally, it turned out to be a branch...

Suppressing the tears that were about to come out of the corners of her eyes, Nana gestured "no problem" to Lu Xibi who was looking over, tightly protected her head, and made a lovely squatting motion in place.

—Although, although I have sworn like the above, but things that should be afraid will still be afraid!

Trying to exhale in small mouthfuls, the girl tried to calm herself down in this way.

This is also impossible!Although I don't know why Yushiya and Celica are not afraid at all, but as a girl who is born afraid of ghost stories, it is impossible for me to think calmly in this environment like Lucy!

The kind of ghosts that appear with their tongues dragging their tongues are the scariest!This kind of empty deserted town is the scariest!I've been obsessed with undead since I was a child——

"Sister, sister? Are you okay?"

——Suddenly felt that the corner of the clothes was pulled by someone, Nana half opened her eyes, and a small white face was blinking and looking at herself.

This is a... little girl?

------------

"Ah! Sorry! I, I'm fine!"

After being dazed for a few seconds, Nana realized that there was still a trace of tears in the corner of her eyes.After cleaning it up in a hurry, she looked at the little girl in front of her in a disguised way:

"I accidentally got sand in my eyes just now, and it's all gone now."

I am too embarrassed to say that I hide and cry when my teammates are thinking because I am afraid of ghosts, let alone in front of such a young child!

That's right!The practice of communicating well with people starts now!I can do it!

After cheering herself up a little, Ruanmei followed Yuxiya's example and tried to show a 'healing' smile:

"You, hello! My name is Nana, and I am an adventurer. May I ask who you are?"

The little girl took a few steps back vigilantly: "Sister, your smile is so strange."
