Alien Hotel

The sun has risen, and the morning sunlight has completely dispelled the darkness in the attic. What can be faintly heard outside the window is the increasing number of people and cars on the street, and unknown birds chirping on nearby rooftops.

There was a chirping sound.

But none of this interrupted Yu Sheng's concentration.

He was holding a doll head that was almost finished shaping - it was still a ball of hard clay - and was carefully using a needle to press out the outline of the eyes and nose on its surface. He spent a long time It took time to complete this step, and even reworked several times in the middle, and finally reached a relatively satisfactory level before the clay completely hardened to the point of being unsuitable for operation.

In fact, it is still not perfect, and it is definitely incomparable with the models made by real professionals, but Yu Sheng feels that at least the little head in front of him will not be turned into an extremely ugly one by Eileen, at least - —”

Shouldn’t the little doll cry when it gets in?

With a slightly smug smile on his face, he looked up at the candles on the table and found that most of them were burned out.

It seems that the "facial makeup" step is destined not to be completed before the candles burn out. Being able to complete the body parts of the doll is already good for him now.

However, Yu Sheng was not too disappointed. After all, in addition to doing experiments, he was doing this just for practice. It would be good to familiarize himself with the whole process a few times before giving Eileen the next formal physical examination. The doll himself doesn't really care that he can't put on makeup.

After all, Irene herself can "grow" her face into a beautiful look.

Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, took the torso of the puppet he had just made, and prepared to place it on the focus of the alchemy array in the center of the table - since it was a practice process, he had to make a full set, even if Irene was not here now , he also wanted to complete the sense of ritual.

But after placing the torso in the center of the table, he couldn't help but frown.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he actually felt that the lump of clay had a little bit of "——" - strange "elasticity", and a slight heat.

But when Yu Sheng observed it carefully and reached out to touch it, the strange feeling disappeared again, and it turned into an ordinary clay creation again, and the surface was already slightly dry.

Is it because I didn't sleep enough at night that I was in a trance?

This idea came to Yu Sheng's mind, but he did not simply dispel the doubt. Instead, he connected the other parts of the doll to the torso with a small amount of clay mixed with softener and water, while carefully observing the shape of the "body" change.

He quickly completed the assembly process. A rough puppet body lay quietly in the center of the "alchemy array" composed of concentric circles and connected lines, with candles burning quietly around it. Except for the lack of the "soul source" In addition to Irene's oil paintings, this ritual of shaping the doll is complete.

Yu Sheng stared at the naked body in front of him. At a certain moment, he felt as if he was dazzled.

Then, he saw the body's chest begin to rise and fall slightly.

It's very faint, but it's really undulating, as if a small life is sleeping in that lump of clay, not yet awake, but already "existing".

Yu Sheng's eyes widened for a moment. After a second or two of sluggishness, he finally realized what had happened. He immediately stepped forward and gently touched the "breathing" puppet body with his hand: "Wake up." Wake up, wake up...are you really alive?"

However, the doll body did not respond to him as he thought. Although the rise and fall of its chest had become completely obvious and stabilized, its entire "activation" process seemed to have ended here, without any further signs of awakening. .

It's like it's just an empty shell, still waiting for something to fill it.

Yu Sheng took a gentle breath, then shook his head vigorously, turned and shouted towards the stairs leading downstairs: "Irene! Irene, are you awake? Come up and see what I did. ——”

Yu Sheng suddenly stopped in the middle of shouting because he saw movement on the table out of the corner of his eye.

The moment he called out the name "Irene", the doll's body suddenly changed, as if it had completed the most critical step of the ritual. The body first tightened suddenly, and then the limbs It quickly rises to the surface, representing vitality and activity. Its skin color, its hair began to grow crazily, its facial features quickly became vivid and three-dimensional, and fresh colors appeared, followed by the familiar black dress. In just a few seconds, "Irene" appeared Lying in front of Yu Sheng, he slowly opened his eyes.

Yu Sheng stared at this scene with his mouth open. Then, when he saw "Irene" who was just a ball of clay creation a moment ago, he suddenly woke up from his initial stupor. The little doll "Teng" sat down all of a sudden. He stood up and turned to look at Yu Sheng: "What's your name? I was sleeping when you—"

She suddenly stopped again, as if she noticed something was wrong. The "new body" turned its neck stiffly and looked around in a strange manner.

"Hey wait, where did this come from? I'm not in the bedroom - wait, no, why is this body - I don't feel anything, I'm dizzy -"

The little puppet said in a daze and a little panic, and subconsciously wanted to stand up from the table and walk towards Yu Sheng, but as soon as he stood up, the world seemed to be spinning, and his body swayed twice before slowly falling down from the edge of the table: "Hey, keep it up. I can't help but have a double image in front of my eyes. ! We are now in the field of vision - pull me, pull me. Before she could finish her words, Yu Sheng had already reacted, and quickly stepped forward to catch the doll lady who was falling from the table, and before he could even breathe a sigh of relief. , and heard a "bang" coming from downstairs.

Two of Irene's exclamations reached Yu Sheng's ears at the same time: "Oh my God - one clear and loud one came from the doll body in front of me, and one distant and fuzzy one came from downstairs.

"Yusheng, what happened to Yusheng? Why do I have two visions now? Am I in two places? No,

No, why-"-" Yu Sheng heard the puppet in his hand say in a panic, "Why do I have two bodies now?!"

The situation was completely beyond Yu Sheng's expectation, but at this time he also realized what had happened. After forcibly shaking off the disbelief in his heart, he quickly ran to the stairs with the "new Irene" in his arms, staring at the ground. He reached the second floor and ran back to his bedroom.

The little doll in his arms gripped his arms tightly, as if he was afraid of falling.

As soon as he opened the door, Yu Sheng saw Irene who was barely balancing on the bedside table, and the latter raised her head almost at the same time.

The doll in his arms and the doll standing on the floor holding the bedside table looked at each other.

"..-·Wow!"

Both mouths spoke in unison.

"I have two bodies!"

Still speaking in unison.

Yu Sheng's head was getting big at this time. He looked at the two identical dolls in surprise, and it took him a long time to say: "Irene? Are they really you?"

"Yes." The two dolls nodded at the same time.

"No, I mean, are you the only one with one consciousness?" Yu Sheng thought this was ambiguous, and quickly added, "One consciousness in two bodies? Or are there two Irenes?"

"One," the two dolls spoke at the same time again, but this time Irene reacted quickly. The one in Yu Sheng's arms suddenly closed his mouth, and the one standing on the ground opposite raised his finger and pointed at himself, "It's just me. one,

It's just that————- suddenly there is an extra body. ""

As she spoke, she tried to loosen her hand holding the bedside table, and stood unsteadily on the spot for a few seconds, covering her head: "Hey, Mom, I finally stood firm————I fainted just now. You know, I almost vomited. I didn't react at first. I just felt that I had woken up in the attic. Then I opened my eyes on the bed, and two fields of vision and two sets of perceptions came to me at once. I just woke up. He stood up and fell off the table and bed at the same time.

Fortunately you caught one of them————”

Irene started talking loudly as soon as she stood firm. Halfway through her words, she seemed to remember something again and looked up at Yu Sheng: "Wait, Yu Sheng, why are there two bodies popping up? And--- ---Am I still in these two bodies at the same time?”

Yu Sheng's face tensed up all of a sudden, and an unspeakable embarrassment flowed from the Tianling Gai straight to the soles of his feet. When he rushed down, he didn't even have time to think about how to explain this magical phenomenon to the puppet. At this time, he was holding back After a long while, he finally said: ".-Do you believe me when I say that the attic of our house got damp and grew a doll?"

Irene looked at Yu Sheng blankly: "——Yes, yes?"

Yu Sheng: "..?"

How can this girl really believe it? !

As soon as the little puppet's reaction came out, Yu Sheng was really embarrassed to have deceived him. He had no choice but to come to the bedside, first put "Irene No. 2" in his arms on the bed, then tried hard to straighten his expression, and slowly Opening:

"It's like this. I couldn't sleep at night, so I suddenly got some scientific research spirit and went upstairs to do a small experiment...

Yu Sheng told the "victim" in front of him exactly how he squeezed the "spare body" for Irene, and he didn't even forget to add what was going on in his mind when he did these things.

The little doll's expression changed from confusion, to surprise, then to confusion, and finally succeeded in turning into madness.

"Yu Sheng belongs to your uncle!!"
