"This is..." Old Nick picked up the badge and examined it carefully.

After observing his face for a while, Xing Ye gave up on understanding the other person's emotions through micro-expressions. Puppets don't have that kind of thing.

Puppets love to tell lies, and they don't have micro-expressions and some small movements. This will greatly increase the difficulty of the game, but it is not impossible to find out the real news from it.

This is where some tricks are needed.

Xing Ye didn't say that the city lord's personal soldiers were dead, he only said that he saw them.

Sure enough, old Nick asked excitedly: "They...the puppets you saw also went to the illegal mine?"

Xing Ye said: "Well...Uncle Nick, let's settle the accounts first. You know that for me, the most important thing is to pay back the money. It doesn't feel good to be in debt. Let's talk about it later. "

During the negotiation process, the older the other party is, the deeper the city, and the more unable to see through the other party's purpose, the more calm you must be, and you must not mess yourself up. Only in this way can you gain the upper hand and force the other party to show its flaws.

Fortunately, puppets are not wily negotiators, and they don't have too fine expression function, but most puppets are very simple, and it is easy to have loopholes in their speech.

The key is to distinguish whether they are telling the truth or a lie, which is very important.

Even if the tone of voice, complexion, eyes, and facial muscles cannot be used as the basis for judgment, you can still use the speed of speech, and the different details obtained after repeatedly asking about one thing to judge whether it is true or false.

No matter how true a lie is, it will be exposed.

Old Nick was really impatient, his speech speed became faster, and the wooden lips kept colliding up and down to make a "da da da" sound: "If you pay the debt, you will know how to pay the debt, as long as you describe everything you have seen and heard in the mine. Tell me, you and the stickman won't pay any debts, write them off!"

Impatient so soon?What an impatient puppet.

Xing Ye said calmly, "Then bring out the bill first, the stickman and I signed our fingerprints."

"Tell me first, have people with these badges entered the mine!" Old Nick said, patting the table.

"Go in, still armed, and leave a person outside to guard. We've been watching until the end, do you want to know? Take out the ledger and write us a receipt."

Old Nick was so angry that he went back to the room to look through the ledger and write the receipt. Cao Qian came over and gave Xing Ye a high-five.

It feels good to be able to force out old Nick's true feelings and pay off the debt.

Guan Ling was stunned to observe. He imagined that if he was the one talking to Xing Ye, maybe he would tell all the embarrassing things he did since childhood.

After Old Nick settled the accounts for Xing Ye and Cao Qian, Xing Ye said: "You know we only have three muskets, so of course we dare not get too close, but if you tell us who those are, I might know what happened to them. "

"You..." If the weapon hadn't been snatched by Cao Qian, old Nick would really kill someone.

"That's right!" Xing Ye slapped his head, "I remembered, I seem to have heard them say that they must use all means to kill the people in the mine."

"They dare!" The cornered old Nick finally couldn't bear it and shouted loudly.

"Oh," Xing Ye said clearly, "Uncle Nick, you suspect that the person in the mine is Master Benedict, and you don't want him to die. It seems that Uncle Nick respects Master Benedict very much."

"Of course respect!" Old Nick said, "The whole puppet city was made by the master. I was the first puppet he made. The first task was to hand over tools to the master. Later, the master needed an assistant to transform me little by little. I It became what it is today, the master is the person I admire the most."

It's true, but there are other feelings besides respect, which needs to be further confirmed.

"Yes, I also admire the master the most, but I don't like him, nor am I grateful to him." Xing Ye said tentatively.

"Why!" Old Nick was very unhappy, and his beard blew up again.

After the experience last night, Xing Ye felt that the human puppet may not be grateful to Benedict.

A person cannot shed tears when he is sad, and can only show a programmed fake smile when he is happy. He knows in his heart that he is not a human being, but a toy created by someone. He has human nature, but he will never become a human being. Such a puppet, will Thanks Master Benedict?

And there are some ordinary puppet people who are born inferior. Will he feel happy when he knows that he is destined to be weaker than other puppets just because of someone else's whim?

Xing Ye felt that most of the puppets in Puppet City must have very complicated feelings for Benedict. They admired the person who created them, and resented that he gave them life but could not give them fairness. Let them taste The taste of sweet, sour and bitter, but can't really blend into it.

He needs to confirm Old Nick's feelings for Benedict. If Old Nick is as malicious as the Santo, then there is no need to continue talking.

"Doesn't Uncle Nick have any hatred for Master?" Xing Ye asked, "Every time I see my body, I can't help but hate it."

"The master is just the creator, he can't be completely fair, the puppet who has been endowed with human nature has to learn to live by himself!" Old Nick argued excitedly with Xing Ye, "Human beings are also born unequal, do you still hate God? I saw with my own eyes how Master Benedict painstakingly created one puppet after another. He carefully put each core into the puppet and looked at each puppet with eyes full of love. There are differences, but that is affected by the technology of the times. Master Benedict created countless puppets in different times of his life, and he treats each one as his own child!"

Well, old Nick was kind to Benedict so the conversation could continue.

Xing Ye said: "But there are still puppets who want to kill Master Benedict, and those with weapons are just like that."

"What do they know, they don't even know who they are looking for!" Old Nick said, "Only a few people know that Master Benedict is still alive, and his whereabouts are also a mystery. I found an illegal mine outside, and I think Benedict might be there. The people you see are just the private soldiers of the city lord. The city lord has been corrupted by human nature, and he wants to be the only master of the puppet city, and he doesn't want anyone's existence to override him Only then will you find someone to assassinate the master, tell me, how is the master?"

Xing Ye said solemnly: "Uncle Nick, can you swear? Swear that you will never tell half a lie about Master Benedict. If you lie, you will never forget the years with Master. As long as you swear, I will I will tell you everything I saw in the mine. To be honest, I really found something very important."

After the conversation, Xing Ye felt that Old Nick could be trusted, and he could get key clues from him, but he needed assurance.

Only by swearing on the most important thing, old Nick dare not lie casually.

Old Nick hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to swear.He was really concerned about Benedict's safety and wanted to know what important things Xing Ye said.

After he swears with the core according to Xing Ye's statement, his whole body has become a lot more decadent. It seems that just saying things like forgetting is a kind of harm to old Nick's spirit.

Seeing him like this, Xing Ye said: "Don't worry, the master is fine, all those private soldiers have been killed. There are countless high-purity raw ores in the mine, as well as robots that far exceed the technology of our Puppet City. Those robots are Made of all metal, it is weapon-type, without humanity, and will simply execute orders. They are very strong, and they will kill all the puppets sent by the city lord by cutting off their cores, but they will not attack the puppets outside the mine. The one guarding the door The outsiders fled back."

"Master... why did he make puppets without humanity? Has he changed? He clearly said that every puppet should be given a soul..." Old Nick said in a daze, as if he couldn't believe that Benedict regarded the puppets as tool.

"I think it has something to do with what I saw," Xing Ye said. "In the deepest part of the mine, we saw a young heart in a glass vessel. It was not an adult heart, it hadn't grown yet. Cheng, if its owner is still alive, he should be only about ten years old."

After the death of his brother, Xing Ye also studied a lot of heart data, and roughly understood the changes in the size of the heart during the growth process.

So when he saw the heart on the projector, he never equated it with Benedict. It is impossible for an old master to have a ten-year-old heart.

"Ten years old..." Old Nick sat on the chair, trying to remember, "Is he the master's son?"

son?Old Nick really had a key clue here, and Xing Ye asked, "Can you tell me about the master's son?"

Old Nick nodded and said: "In fact, many people in Puppet City know about it. Master Benedict first built Puppet City for his son.

The master's son was weak and sick since he was a child, and he couldn't play with the children. Ben, a master craftsman, studied puppets for his son and helped him make the first puppet that could move independently to play with him.

He regards puppets as his son's friends, each puppet is carefully crafted, and the master's son also likes puppets very much.

But his son's illness became more and more serious, and he passed away when he was ten years old.After being decadent for more than a year, Master Benedict dispersed all his wealth and bought the land of Puppet City, and began to make puppets continuously.

He wants to build a city for his dead son where he can move and play freely, and make this city full of childlike fun. "

"What do you mean, the master also made his son into a puppet?"

Old Nick shook his head: "No, I have never seen the puppets of the master's son. The master wanted to build a puppet city first, and then let his son live here. But when he endowed the puppets with humanity, the master was disappointed. He said so A city where his innocent and kind son could not live.

The master wanted to transform the puppet city, but he tried many methods but failed.During this period, I stayed with the master, until one day the master told me that he was going to find a way to purify the puppet city, and asked me to stay here temporarily to repair the body for everyone, and he left after speaking.

Since then, I have never seen the master again. "
