Chapter 162 Before Dawn, Part Two
This idea is somewhat fanciful.

And the most important thing is that Hui Yuanchu has no evidence at all about the "some kind of power" that can exchange knowledge between people and dolls.

The puppet's resin hand, which had changed from the flesh and blood hand of the walking corpse, had also been buried under the ruins of Old Rose along with Hui Yuanyuan's previous body.Therefore, in the absence of physical evidence, it can even be said that this process of change may be just Huiyuan's illusion.

The conclusion that Hui Yuan came to only relied on logical reasoning and the principle of "eliminate all impossibilities, and the remaining ones, no matter how unbelievable, must be facts."

But he was still a little unsure, so after he finished speaking, he just looked at Orukui expectantly, hoping that she would confirm him...or deny it.

Anyway, Zhe Lukui will definitely come up with a more credible statement instead.

In this aspect, Huiyuan had confidence in Zuri Lukui.

But Zhe Lukui only said two words: "Continue."

"what--?"

"And from that idea we can continue to extrapolate to other things we encounter."

Hui Yuanchu had no choice but to continue thinking.

Then he came to the conclusion that even people who have lost their fear will still feel uneasy.

"So... the large number of dolls we saw on the first floor of the old Rose Hall for the first and second time... they were actually not dolls, but real people."

"The reason why it is difficult to imitate the Holy Knot school uniforms, the different body shapes, and the underwear that fits very well...these are not copied by the doll makers who pay special attention to details...but just because they are originally' myself'."

"At the same time, what we investigated on campus in the past few days, those Holy Knot students on the list, the so-called 'prototypes of dolls', are actually dolls."

Zorokui still didn't confirm or deny, but without saying a word, handed the list that had been marked with red and yellow highlighters to Haiyuan Chu.

Hui Yuanchu took the paper and looked at the yellow handwriting on it.

On the paper, the arrow points from "Eimi Asano" to "Old Rose Hall", then to "Doll", and finally to "Sudden Limb Disorder", forming an arc.

Hui Yuanchu picked up the pen and began to rewrite the link.

First write down the three words "manipulator", then point to "workshop", point to "doll", and finally point to "student".

Then, under "Workshop", "Old Rose Hall" was noted, and under "Students", "Asano Eimi" was noted.

"——The truth about the so-called puppet incident is that the operator created puppets and replaced these students with puppets."

He concluded.

"What's the reason? Why did the doll maker replace these students?" Oroku Aoi asked.

"This..." Hui Yuanchu really hadn't thought of this step yet and could only scratch his head.

Zhe Lukui shook his head slightly and changed the question: "So, what new discoveries have you made about the liberation incident group?"

Hui Yuanchu turned his pen and looked at the red notes on the paper.

The red "Liberation Event Group", the current icon is:

"Midnight" points to the "ring", and starting from the "ring" there are three arrows pointing to "suppression", "relief", and "amnesia".

Huiyuan thought for a moment and quickly wrote a new icon:

First, write "chain evil spirits" and "dominion", and then draw an arrow pointing from the former to the latter.Finally, rewrite "repression", "relief" and "amnesia" as label words next to "domination domain".

Zhe Lukui nodded and asked: "So, have you found the connection between these two incident groups now?"

Hui Yuanchu's pen paused.

"...Not yet." He replied honestly.

"-But they are definitely related."

But he was also convinced.

"Otherwise, why would the daughter of the evil spirit lead me to the Old Rose Hall?"

"It can be understood that the daughter of the evil spirit guided me to find the truth."

"But it seems that it can also be understood that the evil spirit daughter is trying to lure me into the trap of the doll maker..."

"Both of these, which direction should I go from-" Haiyuan pinched his chin, and then looked at Zorukui for help.

Zhe Lukui rolled her eyes at him and said sarcastically: "...Oh, it seems that our Xiao Hui is very confident. He feels that he is the center of the world, the darling of fate, and the only protagonist of the story. So whether it is the gods, gods, or Even if you have never seen the monster in the abyss, you can't help but fall in love with it, and you can't help but help him."

Hui Yuanchu said angrily: "... Just say the former is impossible."

"But why is it impossible?" But he paused and asked reluctantly.Zhe Lukui put away her fake smile and became serious.

"Because the chained woman is running away from you. She doesn't dare to have any physical contact with you... What did you think of this reaction?"

Hui Yuanchu suddenly understood.

From the very beginning, Hui Yuanchu had several speculations about the nature of the daughter of the evil spirit: a messenger, a spirit ascendant, a victim, and a certain phenomenon in the ruling domain.

But the fact that she later walked through the door like a ghost and then suddenly disappeared has basically ruled out the two possibilities that she is a spiritual ascendant and a victim.

Then, if she is a phenomenon or a manifestation of the ruling domain, then she will obviously not have the self-awareness to "help people" or "frame people".

For the rest, there is only one possibility.

It is also possible that it is consistent with the "behavioral pattern" summarized by Aoi Oro.

"It's the 'Messenger'!"

"Yes, that chained woman is 90.00% a messenger - therefore, she is our enemy." Zhe Lukui was categorical and very convinced.

Because he was an enemy, it was impossible for him to appear just to help him. Haiyuan initially understood what Orokui meant.

But... in fact, the messenger may not be able to help people, right?For example, that time in Yukinoshita Saya...

Hui Yuan originally wanted to retort like this, but in the end he stopped talking.

That time was indeed an exception.

Orokui continued: "That's the messenger."

"The Messenger cannot interfere directly with the real world."

"So if He wants to kill you, He needs a real knife."

"The puppet maker is His sword... This is the purpose of His introduction to the Old Rose Hall."

Hui Yuanchu hugged his shoulders and raised his head: "So, I completely understand! - The puppet maker was used by the messenger!"

"...No, you don't understand at all." Zhe Lukui raised her forehead and showed a helpless expression, "This is not a use at all, but a conspiracy."

"Collusion?" Hui Yuanchu was puzzled, "Isn't it possible?"

"The messenger couldn't have planned in advance, because he couldn't have predicted that I would track him all the way."

"The puppet maker must have been improvising. Otherwise, the Asano puppet would not have appeared until I had searched the first and second floors and figured out all the key details in the basement."

If there was a plan to lure Hui Yuanchu into a trap from the beginning, then the trap should have been set in motion after he first entered the basement workshop of the old Rose Hall.

There is absolutely no need for him to see so many Asano Eimi and other Holy Knot students who have been transformed into dolls.

In this way, the puppet maker no longer has to send out a puppet of Asano to lure him away, and then rush to transfer the student who turned into a puppet.

"Well, it's rare for you to think." Zhe Lukui praised.

"——But it's not enough." The girl entered the stern female teacher mode again, and suddenly asked: "——Don't you think the cooperation between them is very exquisite?"

"The key is not the fact that you were attacked—it's the location, timing, and attack method that can restrain your power, Xiaohui."

"The location is the narrowest spot in the entire Rose Hall at the corner of the basement. The messenger will lead you to that place, and the puppet maker will drop a large number of puppets at the right time..."

"So I can conclude that there is some kind of communication between the puppet maker and the messenger."

This possibility made Hui Yuan let out a "hiss" sound.

Zhe Lukui continued: "However, you have to know that in most cases, the messenger refuses to be more involved with this world... Any kind of contact is an irreparable pollution to himself and will make him It will be even more difficult for Himself to return to the Kingdom of Light."

"So, there's no 'take advantage'. Messengers don't take advantage of ordinary people."

"But in this world, there are indeed a group of people who obey the orders of the messenger, and the messenger does not mind using them as a 'buffer room' or a 'transmission window' when he has to intervene in this world."

"So—from this, the identity of the puppet maker has also surfaced." Zhe Lukui put away her smile and said word by word.

Hui Yuan was thoughtful.

What he suddenly remembered was the time in the Tower of Infinity where he was killed by the Warrior Captain and the messenger who controlled Yumiko Tamaki's body.

It seems that the "kind of person" Oroku said is——

"……crusader?"
