Start a Dome

"I don't hate it, on the contrary, I think it's very beautiful."

"...what a surprise."

"Meow~"

The black cat suddenly jumped out from behind the crimson curtain, landed on Xia Mo's shoulder, and gently rubbed against her face.

"There is no temperature and no soul."

Touching the little head of the black cat, Xia Mo said.

"But maybe, the real person is also a puppet."

Jian Qiming retorted Xia Mo.

"Yes, but there is nothing in the doll that a person has."

"emotion!"

Stretching out his hand, Xia Mo gently opened the red curtain.

Xia Mo smiled when he saw Ming Qiming who was hiding behind the coffin looking at him with a bewildered face.

"Only with feelings is the most complete."

"Whether it's a puppet or a human."

"Just like this kid."

"Meow~"

Making a soft sound, the black cat tilted its head and looked at its sister and Xia Mo.

"emotion......"

Jian Qiming's eyes were full of puzzlement.

"Can you tell me, Misaki-san..."

"Three years ago, what happened?"

"Of course." Looking at the dim environment, Xia Mo smiled. "We can change places and have a good talk."

"Another place..."

Misaki shook his head.

"Are you worried about something?"

Seeing that the girl was silent, Xia Mo blinked, "So, can you show me other places?"

"other places......"

Jian Qiming looked at Xia Mo with some embarrassment: "The second floor is the studio, and the third floor is the resting place."

"But because Misaki doesn't like the gloomy environment here, so I live outside alone with her."

Hearing this, Xia Mo smiled lightly: "Thank you for the umbrella last night (ありがとう)!"

"......fine."

Tilting his head, Qi Ming looked at Xia Mo with some puzzlement: "It was so late yesterday, what were you doing alone?"

Suddenly, noticing that it seemed impolite to ask like this, the girl pursed her lips and lowered her head.

At this moment, a faint warmth slowly spread from the top of the head.

His pupils fluctuated slightly, seeing Qi Ming looking at Xia Mo in a daze.

Is this the so-called emotion?

The warmth continued to spread, and she narrowed her eyes slightly in enjoyment.

"Meow!"

The black cat on the side also quickly brought its head closer.

Chapter 220 - Human Feelings

One person and one cat both enjoyed Xia Mo's head-to-head killing.

However, this gloomy and dim environment is really difficult to match this scene.

His hair was gently stroked, and suddenly, a strand of black hair that originally covered one side was gently pulled away, revealing pale green eyes.

"very nice."

Looking at the girl's pale green prosthetic eyes without any emotional fluctuations, Xia Mo said softly.

"nice?"

"Do you really think so?"

Taking a step back, tilting his head, Qi Ming looked at Xia Mo with some puzzlement.

"It's a prosthetic eye, right?"

"Well, my left eye is a doll's eye, and I can see unclean things."

Having said that, Jian Qiming subconsciously looked at the black cat on Xia Mo's shoulder.

"Don't you, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Xia Mo blinked: "Uncomfortable mean?"

Leaning closer to Xia Mo, he pointed the light green prosthetic eyes at him, and saw that there was no expression on Qi Ming's face: "Mmm..."

She couldn't find any discomfort on Xia Mo's face.

Stretching out her hand, while he wasn't paying attention, the girl gently hugged the black cat lying on his shoulder.

"These puppets are very empty both physically and mentally."

"That's the void that leads to death."

"The more empty something is, the more I want to fill it with something."

Looking at the deformed puppets around, Jian Qiming tilted his head and said, "Don't you feel like you're about to be sucked away when you stay here?"

"First my body, then my soul, and finally the whole person was sucked into the void."

"Meow~"

The black cat meowed lightly, as if expressing his point of view.

"The child said she thought so too."

Gently touching the black cat's head, he saw a faint smile on Qi Naruto's face.

But soon, this smile disappeared and was replaced by a deep void.

"So, do you think so too?"

Xia Mo tilted his head strangely.

"Ah."

Misaki nodded slightly.

Smiling, Xia Mo said: "The so-called emptiness actually refers to the loneliness in my heart."

"Lonely because you don't get recognition, lonely because you don't have a heart."

Xia Mo stretched out his hand and pointed to the closest puppet: "Look."

It was a puppet with pale skin and a broken arm.

At this moment, it moved strangely.First, he moved his body very stiffly, and then tapped his feet on the ground with incomparable dexterity, dancing funny dances.

"..."

Jian Qiming looked at Xia Mo without saying a word.

"What I want to say is that human beings are different from dolls."

"A man's heart is as empty as a puppet's, but it can be filled with emotion."

"Are you lonely, see Saki Naruto?"

"Lonely?"

Frowning, Jian Qiming shook her head, and she hugged the black cat tightly in her arms: "With Misaki by my side, I'm not alone."

"..."

Seeing Xia Mo fell silent, Jian Qiming said: "When I was four years old, because of a malignant tumor, when I woke up, my left eye was gone."

"I tried changing a lot of eyes, but my mother felt that these eyes were not cute enough, so she specially made a green prosthetic eye for me."

Misaki sighed softly.

"Do you think your mother treats you as a puppet?"

"However, you are different from a puppet."

"Puppets don't have emotions, but you do."

Unconsciously, Jian Qiming met Xia Mo's pure black eyes.

......

"Too gloomy environment is not suitable for communication."

"Would you like to come to my house? In my house, there is Yi Dado, who is about your age, and a... little puppet who is the same size as Misaki."

Even though he was a little uneasy, the curiosity in his heart prompted Misaki Naruto to nod his head.

Leaving the somewhat gloomy small building and walking under the sun, I saw Qi Ming kept touching the black cat's head with his hands.

She is nervous, and when people are nervous, they will always involuntarily use some things to relieve them.

"Really dumb tape?"
