The Trial Game of Life

Tang Cuo drew out his sword, but Polly still held the book in his hand.Maybe it was because he was holding it too tightly, or maybe his body was already in tatters. When Tang Cuo went to get the book again, he pulled his arm off.

He held his arm in silence for a moment, then put it back on for him.

Polly was as still as a broken doll.

Tang Cuo opened the book, there was no words in the book, and the infusion of magic power didn't work. I don't know if it was because the sword was too hard just now.

One thing is for sure: this book is not ordinary.

This book can not only exert such supernatural powers in Polly's hands, but also withstand Tang Cuo's full blow. It is not a legendary equipment, but it should be a rare equipment.

Let's call it "book without words" for the time being.

In any case, the book was already useless when it was in Tang Cuo's hands, and he had nothing to do with it.At this time, it was still early in the morning, and he walked around the library, but as expected, he didn't find Jin Cheng.

Then he must have triggered some side missions.

There was no one else in the library, so Tang Cuo simply went back to Polly and sat down cross-legged.He intends to take Polly apart and study it, because whether in Eastern or Western stories, or in the real world, masters like to leave their own unique marks on their works.

Who made Polly, why he can hold such a powerful wordless book, and what triggered his rampage, maybe we can find clues by tracing the source.

As time passed slowly, Tang Cuo gradually immersed himself in the fun of dismantling the puppets, while Jin Cheng on the other side was still on the run.

The atmosphere in the puppet kingdom is getting weirder and weirder.

The ubiquitous dolls, carrying embroidery needles and big swords, and holding triangular rulers and sickles, interweave a bloodless killing scene in the fairy tale world covered with red carpets.

Dolls don't bleed, they just break.

Even if their necks were cut off and only a piece of cloth was attached, they could still walk.With a crooked face, he grinned at Jin Cheng, and the embroidery needle came up, and his head was tilted a hundred and eight thousand miles away.

Such a puppet can't be killed at all.

A full half an hour passed, and Jin Cheng could not see the dawn of hope at all.To the left is a group of puppets, to the right is a group of puppets, he retreated decisively and hid in the small workshop behind him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was closed, he was face to face with the unfinished puppets on the shelf.The heads are placed neatly in three layers, while their bodies are hung on the beams in the house, as if they have just been brushed with tung oil for maintenance.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" They shouted out the rhythm and rhythm, as if they could sing aloud in the next second.

"Fuck." Jin Cheng chose to jump out of the window.

After several turnarounds, Jin Cheng returned to the vicinity of "Aesop" before being deprived of his nerves by these puppets.This oversized doll is left alone here, showing no signs of coming to life.

Jin Cheng climbed onto his shoulders, looking down at the entire puppet kingdom from here, as if looking at a pile of colorful building blocks.This reminded him of his home in this world, the unfinished Lego set.

I don't know if his brother's hand is disabled, can he put it together.Still feeling the passing of my lovely brother, I put it on the shelf.

Thoughts ran away, Jin Cheng pulled it back again.

Looking at "Aesop" up close, it doesn't look like Aesop anymore, because he doesn't have the iconic tassel earrings, and his appearance seems to be a little bit different.

"Hi!" A light voice suddenly came from above.

Jin Cheng looked up, and saw that pearl-toothed thief poking his head out of "Aesop's" eye socket, waving his hand to greet him.Without saying a word, a sound blade flew over, but the other party avoided it with a smile, shrugged, turned around and was about to disappear into the pair of black gemstones.But at this moment, he found that the corner of his clothes was hooked.

He turned his head, and Jin Cheng had already approached him.

The sound blade is just a cover-up, the real attack is the hook tied to the rope of the item.Jin Cheng can let him escape once, it is absolutely impossible to let him escape a second time.

The thief gave another strange laugh, his body shrank suddenly, he got out from the hooked clothes, and a golden cicada escaped from its shell.

Jin Cheng chased him into the eye sockets, and the two fell into the sea of ​​black gemstones. The feeling was cooler than splashing around in the ocean ball park, which is the children's favorite.

The shrunken thief is more flexible, even without the magical hat, he is still slippery and difficult to catch.As soon as Jin Cheng chased him in, he escaped from the other eye socket, and at the end he turned his head and waved at Jin Cheng, full of sarcasm.

"Interesting." Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows, but he didn't rush after him.He pulled away the black gem and poked his head out from the edge of the eye socket, raised his hand and slapped "Aesop" heavily on the face.

The dust rose and then fell gently, outlining footprints glowing with light blue fluorescence on "Aesop".

Witch's ashes.The props used by Jin Cheng in the dungeon of "Returning on a Snowy Night", excellent equipment for tracking.

He chased after the footprints, but he didn't chase too closely. Instead of catching the thief immediately, he wanted to know what the thief wanted to do?

But 10 minutes later, when he broke into a candy house, he saw only a pair of shoes outside a huge sugar bowl.There is also a stick figure self-portrait of a thief painted in white powdered sugar on the sugar bowl.

A row of neat pearl teeth, like pomegranate seeds.

Jin Cheng was not angry when he was lost after being chased.He picked up the pair of shoes and looked at them, thinking: the first time is the hat, the second time is the clothes, and the third time is the shoes.

Next time, what else can the thief throw away?

He had a premonition that the purpose of the thief must be related to "Aesop".So Jin Cheng went back to the square where the giant doll was, hid on the brim of his hat, and planned to sit back and wait.

Sure enough, not long after, the thief appeared again.

He sneaked up from behind to "Aesop's" shoulder, hid in his collar and looked left and right to make sure that no one around had noticed him, and then continued to climb up to his ear.He kept shrinking, slipped into "Aesop's" cochlea, and slid into "Aesop's" head from his ears.

Jin Cheng actually spotted him when he appeared nearby, but Quan Dang didn't know it, and lay on the brim of his hat with a lollipop in his mouth, watching the whole process of his rock climbing.

This time, Jin Cheng finally saw clearly what the thief was doing - he was stealing gems.He took a cloth bag and stuffed gems into the bag desperately, but no matter how much he stuffed, the bag showed no signs of being saturated.

Jin Cheng hooked the brim of his hat, and a fuchsia poked his head out from above the eye sockets of "Aesop", waved a lollipop, and greeted him warmly: "Hi."

The thief froze, and for the first time anything other than a smile appeared on his funny face.He reacted very quickly, almost immediately grabbed a handful of gems and threw them at Jin Cheng's face, before running wildly.

Jin Cheng jumped down, threw out another hook, and successfully caught his pants.

The thief turned his head and stared wide-eyed.

Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows: You can take it off if you have the ability.

The thief really took off.

It was another golden cicada shedding its shell. The thief lost his hat, clothes, shoes, and now even his trousers. He was wearing a shirt and a pair of big white trousers, and slid down the bridge of "Aesop's" nose like a loach.

"Hoo--" He threw his whole body in a parabola, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then landed on the black umbrella.

Startled.

The thief looked down at his hands: Where is my bag?

He raised his head hastily, and saw Jin Cheng poking his head out from "Aesop's" shoulder, swinging his cloth bag in his hand, smiling so smugly that he wanted to be beaten.

"Give it back to me!" The thief jumped up angrily, and his pearl teeth were chattering.

"No." Jin Cheng turned his head and poured the black gemstones in the cloth bag back into his eye sockets. He didn't know how much was in there, and he poured it for a full 3 minutes without finishing it.

The thief climbed up again, trying to take the bag back from him.But at this moment, the other puppets finally found the two people who were making trouble above, and rushed over in groups.

That scene, looking down from above, looks like countless ants are stacking up and climbing up, gathering more and more, gathering more and more.In the blink of an eye, the sea of ​​dolls has already covered "Aesop's" knees.

Also because of the large number of dolls gathered, "Aesop" began to shake uncomfortably and tended to fall over.

"fall down!"

"fall down!"

"fall down!"

The puppets shouted loudly, but they didn't stop climbing up.Perhaps rather than protecting "Aesop", they wanted to kill the two hateful intruders.

Just at this time, "Aesop" really began to tilt.

The thief was about to climb up the eye sockets, and with such a tilt, his feet staggered and slipped from his cheeks.Fortunately, he was able to hook his collarbone quickly with his sharp eyesight and hands, so he was saved from disaster.

Jin Cheng quickened the movements of his hands, and the black gemstones in his eye sockets became more and more full. With a "bang", the last black gem was poured out of the bag, but the eye sockets were already full, and the gem was bounced out and landed in Jin Cheng's palm.

The whistling wind blew past his ears, and "Aesop" had fallen halfway down, leaving only a 45-degree angle with the ground.The puppets slipped from "Aesop" one after another, and landed on the square full of fragments of porcelain puppets like dumplings.

"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff!"

Sharp fragments pierced the puppet's body and damaged the puppet's joints.From a distance, it looks like a large doll was thrown away.

Jin Cheng also slid from his eye sockets to the bridge of his nose, but his movements were still not in the slightest panic.Even at this moment, the thief climbed up again and grabbed his ankle.

"Give me back the gem!" he yelled.

Jin Cheng smiled, weighed the last black gem, and at the last second before "Aesop" was about to fall to the ground, inserted it into the right eye that still had a gap.

"Click." Perfect.

The magic light flashed across the black gemstone, and when Jin Cheng jumped back to avoid the "falling doll disaster", he saw "Aesop" blink suddenly.

Those eyes came alive.

The porcelain-white cheeks showed vitality, and the stiff body became soft. "Aesop" stretched out his hand when he fell to the ground, and skillfully supported his body.

But he was too big, and the strong wind from his palms touched the ground, blowing the dolls in the square far away.The shards of the porcelain figures jingled in the wind, and the whole square was in chaos.

And when he came back to life, Jin Cheng confirmed - he was Aesop.

They look exactly alike.

"It's you! You took my gem!" The thief accused Aesop through one of his legs.

"You obviously stole it." Jin Cheng spread his hands.

"Bastard!"

"Ai."

Aesop lowered his head and looked at the two little ones at his feet, with a hint of ignorance and confusion in his eyes.

Jin Cheng gave him a friendly smile, and then shot out, grabbed the thief by the neck with lightning speed, and knocked him to the ground.

"Thank you for your compliment." Jin Cheng said.

The thief struggled desperately but couldn't open it, so angry that he kicked his legs.

Jin Cheng wanted to ask him why he stole the gems, but the ground suddenly started shaking.All the puppets who were still standing rushed to the end, even Aesop couldn't help supporting the black umbrella, so he was able to stand.

There was a hint of panic on the thief's face, as well as the embarrassment of being caught for doing something bad.

Jin Cheng took this expression into his eyes, raised his head, and saw the most fantastic scene he had seen since he entered this puppet kingdom - the sky was opened from the middle by someone.

An old face with a white beard appeared in his sight. He looked at Aesop with satisfaction, then reached out and touched his head, and said, "Lovely child, you are finally finished."

Oh, it's not God, it's Herodo, the puppeteer.

Jin Cheng finally understood where this damn doll kingdom was, it was in Herodo's dollhouse.Aesop is not a giant doll either, but Jin Cheng has shrunk and become as big as the villain here.

Pearl Tooth is a greedy and stupid thief, he doesn't run away after stealing something, but stays at the scene of the crime waiting for someone to catch him.

Fortunately, Herodo showed no sign of attack for the time being, he turned around and took out a small red velvet box.Open it to reveal a pair of tassel earrings.

He took out the earring, put it on Aesop's ear with his own hands, and said, "My child, this is my newborn gift for you. Remember not to take it off at any time, and take it with you. Look, it is How well suited you are."

Aesop still opened those ignorant and innocent eyes, looking at Herodo with curiosity.Herodo is also like a kind elder, looking at his child with compassion.

"May God bless you, my child."

Aesop blinked and asked, "What is God?"

Herodotus: "God is an all-knowing, omnipotent existence."

Aesop tilted his head, dangling the tassel earrings, apparently not understanding the meaning of his words.Herodo didn't go into the details, just smiled and said to him: "My child, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, please confess to God. You are such a lovely child, God will definitely listen to your words. "

Aesop seemed to understand, but still nodded obediently, "Okay. What's my name, please?"

"Aesop." Herodo said the name without hesitation, obviously planning it long ago, "Your name is Aesop."

Jin Cheng raised his head and took everything into his eyes: So it was like this.

At the same time, Tang Cuo finally disassembled the doll Polly, and finally found the maker's name on a small part the size of a thumb.

His name is Herodo.
