Reincarnation Train Restart [Unlimited]

The inside of the machine workshop is very large, from one side to the other is filled with machines of an assembly line, and the dolls produced in the end are transported into an open and flat container.

Now, there are countless dolls piled inside, but unlike the outside, the dolls in the machine workshop can't move.

This made Ren Xia and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

The lights in the machine workshop are not very bright, the light is dim, and there are only a few sparse lights hanging from the ceiling.

Therefore, in the shadow cast by the machine, the few people standing in front of the window and guarding outside did not find out—just behind the machine, there are humanoid dolls with their faces hidden in blind corners and shadows that they cannot see.

The seven humanoid dolls just woke up from the container and jumped on the ground. Before they could get out, they happened to run into Wu Xiajiu and others who ran in.

At this time, the dolls hid behind the machine, and a head quietly emerged to observe secretly.

Wu Xiajiu's doll grinned an evil smile, with two small hands on the edge of the machine. It not only poked its head, but also planned to crawl forward on the ground and sneak behind the machine a little further ahead.

But at this moment, a doll a head taller than Wu Xiajiu's doll suddenly appeared lightly and silently behind him.

It has the same appearance as Shi Shangzuo, clearly a doll that looks like Shi Shangzuo.

I saw Shi Shangzuo's doll hugged Wu Xiajiu's waist, and quickly dragged it back to the back of the machine. After dragging it back, he hugged his waist with one hand and covered his mouth with the other, hugging him tightly.

The Wu Xiajiu doll struggled and kicked its short legs a few times. Finally, seeing that it couldn't get out, it gave up and shrugged its shoulders, and was obediently carried away by the Shishangzuo doll.

This small movement was covered by the sound of the machine running.

But Shi Shangzuo seemed a little aware of it, frowned and turned his head to look back.

"What's wrong? Zuo." Wu Xiajiu asked suspiciously, "Is there any problem later?"

He also followed and looked behind.

Shi Shangzuo shook his head hesitantly, frowned and said, "Not sure, I'll go and have a look."

"I'll go with you." Wu Xiajiu said.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Fang Zi and Yu Ze, signaling them to stay on guard against the group of dolls that hadn't dispersed outside.

Fang Zi said OK, expressing his understanding.

Yu Ze also nodded.

So, Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo walked to the continuously running machine, and they checked along an assembly line of the machine.

Just as she was about to reach the container, Chen Lu suddenly shouted, "Those dolls have left!"

Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo turned their heads subconsciously.

The group of dolls did recede and leave, as if they had made no sound when they came, and they didn't make any sound when they left.

After a while, there was not even a doll outside the machine workshop.

Wu Xiajiu was moved, he raised his voice slightly and asked, "What time is it?"

Ren Xia had a watch on his wrist and replied, "Hey, it's exactly four o'clock in the morning."

There are still two hours until the machine is turned off at six o'clock in the morning.

Hearing this, Wu Xiajiu glanced back at the situation on the machine side, walked around to the container side with Shishang to check, then walked back to Fang Zi and the others, and said, "Go out and have a look."

"Go out now?"

Chen Lu couldn't help but refused: "Who knows if there is any danger outside, just stay here until six o'clock and then leave. It will be bright by then, and it must be safe outside."

Anyway, Chenlu didn't want to go out.

He hesitated to speak without saying anything.

Yu Ze said: "Then you two stay here, let's go out and check the situation."

After they went out, only Weiyu and Chenlu were left in the machine workshop, and the number of people suddenly decreased.

Coupled with the threat of no dolls outside, Weiyu immediately felt the emptiness and quietness of the machine workshop.

This "quiet" certainly does not mean that there is no sound in the workshop.

After all, there is a machine running, parts, etc. rubbing against each other, fabric, and the process of making dolls will all make sounds.

However, these sounds are very regular and unchanging, and when combined together, they become monotonous and lonely.

Let Weiyu feel that there is also an inexplicable... panic?Fear?

Why, as soon as Guanzhu and the others left, Weiyu seemed to always feel that there was something watching her and Chenlu from the dark in this machine workshop.

Such maliciousness is full of evil.

So, not long after, Weiyu couldn't help staring at the shadow of the machine's work and asked in a low voice, "Chenlu, do you feel something is wrong?"

Chen Lu was resting by the window. After relaxing, she dozed off a little, her eyes half-closed.

After hearing Wei Yu's words, Chen Lu opened her eyes at once, looked around at first, and then said impatiently after being interrupted, "What's wrong? I don't feel anything at all."

"No, it's true..." It seemed a little wrong.

Weiyu thought that since Guanzhu and others left, the more she stayed here, listening to the sound of these machines running, the more uneasy emotions spread in her heart.

Weiyu couldn't help but said: "Otherwise, let's go out and have a look, it's safe to stay together with many people."

Chen Lu looked out the window, and the figure of Guanzhu and others had long since disappeared. She went to check from a distance, but there was no doll around here, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

But she thought about it, to be on the safe side, if Weiyu wants to go out, she'd better go along with her.

Therefore, Chenlu decided to agree.

But just as she got up, she frowned and "hissed".

Immediately, Chen Lu lowered her head and stretched out her hand to cover her left calf, clenched her fist and beat it.

"What's wrong with you?" Weiyu asked involuntarily.

Chen Lu frowned and said, "I don't seem to feel any sensation in my calf. It must be numb. It will be fine in a while."

But saying this, Chen Lu had a bad premonition in her heart.

Because when she reached out to beat her calf, she didn't feel any strength on her calf, nor did she feel any numbness.

Chen Lu tried to walk a few steps forward, but she found something wrong with this walk, her left calf couldn't move anymore.

……

Wu Xiajiu waited for someone to go out to check, and came all the way to the door of the doll factory.

Along the way, all the dolls in the factory disappeared, and many burned ashes were left on the ground.

They came to the door to observe, and found that some of the dolls that had been placed near the factory entrance had more or less disappeared, and the group of dolls who attacked them had gone to nowhere at this moment, as if they had disappeared collectively.

Before Wu Xiajiu waited for others to continue to investigate, after a while, they suddenly heard the voices of Weiyu and Chenlu.

Especially the voice of Chen Lu, mixed with panic and uneasiness.

what happened?

Wu Xiajiu couldn't help but look at Shi Shangzuo, and then walked towards the direction where the voice came from.

Fang Zi, Yu Ze and Ren Xia followed behind.

Ren Xia couldn't help but asked: "Did the two of them encounter danger again in the machine workshop?"

"It doesn't sound like it." Yu Ze said.

It wasn't until Wu Xiajiu and Wei Yu and Chen Lu reunited on the road that they found out what was going on.

——Chen Lu was in pain and limped too obviously. There seemed to be something wrong with her left calf.

"I don't feel it anymore." Chen Lu cried.

Weiyu said: "After you left, Chenlu just sat and rested by the window, and didn't find her calf until she stood up..."

Ren Xia rested his chin and thought: "It's strange, there is no wound on the calf, why is it suddenly unconscious and unable to move?"

"Is it because of being attacked by those dolls?"

Ren Xia is not stupid, he quickly found the key point.

He looked at Chen Lu and said, "Your calf has no feeling, it's probably related to those dolls."

"If that's the case, those of us who have been attacked by dolls may have the same problem."

Wu Xiajiu agrees with this.

He thought: "Moreover, the degree and speed of the problem is likely to be related to the number of attacks by the doll."

The more attacks Chen Lu suffered, the greater the problems reflected on her body.

Fang Zi moved his arms and legs when he heard the words, but he is fine now.

Without saying a word, her face turned pale, she and Chen Lu were the ones who suffered the most attacks from dolls.

She couldn't help but said, "Then Chenlu's left calf won't recover until she leaves this car, will she?"

"In the future, if we are still attacked by dolls and cannot escape, will some parts of our body be unable to move?"

Wu Xiajiu said it was possible.

But these are just their conjectures, although this conjecture is correct to a certain extent.

Afterwards, Chen Lu went back to her room to rest alone.

She said to calm down and be alone.

Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo walked around the doll factory. When it was almost six o'clock, they went to the machine workshop and shut down all the machines.

By this time, the sky had already dawned.

They went back to the room and stayed up in the middle of the night because of the excitement. Fang Zi and the others were a little sleepy, so they rested until seven o'clock.

After getting up for a long time, Wu Xia went out and planned to go to the doll exhibition hall. The photos taken yesterday should be posted on the photo wall. Go over and have a look, maybe there will be some clues.

But Weiyu knocked on Chenlu's door, but there was no response from inside.

"Chen Lu hasn't woken up yet?" Wei Yu frowned.

With that said, she knocked on the door vigorously again.

The door slammed.

At this time, everyone should wake up, not to mention, according to Chen Lu's personality, she might not be able to sleep well here.

Wu Xiajiu and others noticed something was wrong.

Shi Shangzuo and Yu Ze looked at each other and began to knock on the door.

The door was knocked open with a bang—Chen Lu was lying on the bed, her body stiff and in an extremely twisted state.

She opened her eyes, her pupils dilated, and her face turned pale, apparently she had been dead for a long time.

Did Chenlu die shortly after returning to the room?

Weiyu couldn't help exclaiming, she was frightened, she covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes were wide open, a little scared.

Wu Xiajiu and the others quickly stepped forward to inspect Chen Lu's body.

There was no wound, but looking at her twisted body, she definitely died in pain, but before that, they didn't hear the slightest sound or noise from Chen Dew.

Most importantly, the dolls are gone.

How did Chen Lu die?

In the morning, the death of Chen Lu gave them a "shock".

Before they left the doll factory, the mayor's wife, Marianne, came and said that the mayor had invited them to their house for dinner at noon.

At the time of the invitation, Marianne asked why there was one person missing.

Yu Ze said that the person died, and the body was lying in the room.

He asked Marianne if she would go over and have a look.

The expression on Marianne's face remained the same, and she smiled after refusing: "It's such a pity that she can't come to eat."

During the whole process, she did not show any other emotions towards Chen Lu's death.

After a while, Marianne left.

Wu Xiajiu said: "We will act separately, and we will meet outside Mayor Bourdain's house at noon."

"it is good."

Fang Zi, Yu Ze and others had no objections.

Naturally, Wu Xiajiu was with Shi Shangzuo, and the remaining four were Fang Zi and Ren Xia, Yu Ze and Wei Yu.

After leaving the doll factory, Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo went to the doll exhibition hall, and saw their photos on the glass wall erected outside.

——The same background, some yellowed and old photo colors, not very good pixel effect.

Wu Xiajiu couldn't help frowning and said: "I don't know what effect these photos have on us, can they make dolls attack us at night?"

But he feels that possibility is not high.

First of all, even if there were no pictures, the dolls would attack them, as is the dangerous custom in the world under the car.

Secondly, the existence of this glass wall is not special. Apart from them, the residents of the doll town are also on it.

The last point is that Wu Xiajiu paid more attention to the background when they took pictures—the walls with complex patterns—compared to their photos being pasted on glass walls.

In addition, there is the model-like doll town.

Wu Xiajiu wanted to go into the doll exhibition hall to take a closer look, but, as he expected, the door of the exhibition hall was locked and closed.

The key is in the hands of the mayor's wife, Marianne.

The gate must not be destroyed at will.

At least not right now.

They went around to look around the doll exhibition hall. The windows were not low, and they were all locked tightly. The glass windows did not seem to be easily broken.

Shi Shang Zuo said: "The pattern drawn on that wall must have some special meaning."

"Since the mayor Bourdain said that the doll exhibition hall is his favorite masterpiece, it means that the pattern on the wall is likely to be related to the mayor Bourdain."

"Just right, going to his house for lunch is a good opportunity to investigate."

Wu Xiajiu nodded, indeed.

He said: "The secret hidden in the doll town must be related to why there are so many dolls here, and it is also related to the doll factory."

"Where can I find out the historical situation of the doll town?"

"Newsstand." Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo looked at each other and said at the same time.

"Let's go." Shi Shang Zuo said.

When they were led by Rachel yesterday to find the doll incineration plant, they saw the existence of the newsstand.

——It is the kind of newspaper kiosk that can be used as a town landmark for decoration. The appearance is very beautiful, and there are many newspapers neatly placed inside.

When Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo found the newsstand, there was no one there, and there were no town residents nearby.

The newsstand is open, surrounded by a circle, and covered on the top.

Surrounded by countless dolls to accompany and decorate.

There were hundreds if not thousands of newspapers, periodicals, and books in the newsstand, and the two went around looking for them separately.

About ten minutes later, Wu Xiajiu's fingertips touched a newspaper. Instantly, the wristband became hot and the panel popped out.

——[Congratulations to the passengers who found the newspapers and periodicals that recorded the past of the Doll Town, and obtained relevant information - the origin and new life of the Doll Town (to be explored)]

found it.

Wu Xiajiu decisively pulled out the newspaper. Just as he was about to call Shi Shangzuo, he heard that Shi Shangzuo also said that he had found some clues in another direction of the newsstand.

So the two got together.

Shi Shangzuo discovered a report interviewing Mayor Bourdain.

There was a photograph of Bourdain in the newspaper, obviously alone, with the doll gallery in the background.

This should be the interview when the doll exhibition hall was just completed.

The newspapers that Wu Xiajiu found were much thicker than those found by Shi Shangzuo.

This is a newspaper that records the origin of "Doll Town".

The two first read the newspaper together.

The Doll Town was not originally called this name, the original name was ordinary and ordinary.

As poor and featureless as this remote town is.

Until the appearance and appointment of mayor Bourdain.

After Bourdain became the mayor of the town, he advocated that everyone participate in the work of making dolls, turning the whole town into a world of dolls.

He launched the name "Doll Town", which later won a lot of praise, the dolls sold well, and Doll Town became famous.

Although the mayor Bolton is a man with a disabled leg, he has made great contributions to the development of the town.

The press wrote that Bourdain was obsessed with dolls.

The doll town has developed in this way for several years.

The town was almost completely covered by dolls, and there were photos in the newspapers and magazines when it was taken, which was not much different from the town they saw now.

The only difference is the doll.

It doesn't seem to be everywhere like it is now, and it is only decorated in some key places.

Later, it was reported in the newspapers that the residents of the small town should always keep the dolls used for decoration in the streets and houses clean and tidy.

This just needs to often change newest doll, and old doll is discarded and destroyed.

This is a policy that Mayor Bourdain has strongly demanded.

However, this policy made the town that had become rich gradually unable to make ends meet, and the frequent replacement of dolls was very expensive.

The newspaper wrote that some town residents were interviewed and complained about it.

They made a complaint, and then Mayor Bourdain ignored it.

As a result, many residents no longer intend to participate in the production of these dolls.

With the development and progress of the times and technology, electronic mechanical dolls have begun to enter the eyes of town residents. Gradually, plush dolls seem to be replaced by mechanical dolls.

The newspapers said that if the mechanical dolls are allowed to continue to develop, this may be a new revolution in the doll town.

Mechanical dolls are more popular with children and even adults than ordinary plush and cloth dolls.

Because mechanical dolls are easy to develop many interesting and novel functions.

This is something that ordinary plush dolls cannot do.

Over time, in the doll town, ordinary plush and cloth dolls are slowly abandoned by the residents, lonely, and out of the market.

No longer a favorite with the townspeople.

And mechanical dolls have become the new favorite.

In the latest set of old photos, dolls that were originally used to decorate the streets of the town were trampled and abandoned.

No one continued to manage the replacement of dolls, etc., and the dolls became worn out, and even the trash can was full of dolls.

Some broken dolls with missing arms and legs were thrown out, as were some intact ones.

Wu Xiajiu thought in his heart that he loved the doll and then discarded it. If the doll had a mind and a soul, he would definitely hate the residents of the town.

He continued to read the newspapers.

Then, the next few pages were torn out.

"No more." Wu Xiajiu frowned.

This newspaper only records the origin of the doll town, and there is no new life.

After the ordinary plush and cloth dolls were gradually replaced by mechanical dolls, and ordinary dolls were discarded, how did the mayor of the town, Bolton, restore the town to its original state?

Even better than before.

According to Wu Xiajiu's observation, apart from necessities, there are very few machinery-related things in this doll town.

After closing the newspaper, Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo searched the newsstand again.

But after 10 minutes, still nothing.

The only two clues are probably in their hands.

Shi Shangzuo said: "It seems that it is not so easy for us to get all the clues. If the guess is correct, we still need to go to the mayor Bourdain to find clues about the town's 'new life'."

"Let's take a look at this report about the construction of the doll exhibition hall."

Wu Xiajiu nodded and hummed.

The cover of this story was taken by Mayor Bourdain outside the doll exhibit, when the glass walls were still empty.

Shishang opened the report on the left.

The first part records the biography of the mayor Bourdain, with a photo attached.

——Mayor Bourdain actually has a twin brother named Burgett.

In the photo, Bourdain is still sitting in a wheelchair, but standing next to him is a person who looks very similar to him and can be said to be exactly the same.

This man was the mayor's brother Burgett.

Wu Xiajiu blinked in surprise and looked down.

After Bourdain served as the mayor and developed the doll town, his younger brother Burgett served as the director of the doll factory.

Burgett is able-bodied, unlike his older brother, who has a mutilated leg.

But the report said that Burgett didn't like to communicate with others and was reticent. Even most of the interviews were done by Bourdain to speak for his brother.

According to the biography, the mayor Bourdain has experienced the glory and desolation of the doll town. When mechanical dolls are about to replace ordinary plush dolls, Bourdain has experienced unimaginable blows.

——His younger brother Burgett died of illness, and the factory was facing bankruptcy.

But soon, Bourdain cheered up again.

He actively innovated technology and set up a doll factory.

He made the townspeople fall in love with ordinary plush dolls again.

Before the doll town was restored to the way it was decorated with dolls everywhere, the mayor Bolton specially built a doll exhibition hall for this purpose.

The report mentioned a sentence that Bourdain said - dolls are alive, and dolls are more lovable to him than people.
