Chapter 8 Puppet Tourist Town (6)

Intuition told Su Yun that it was not Aya.

The person in the center of the auditorium, who was dressed exactly like Aya, began to sob as the plot of the puppet show progressed on the stage. The sobs echoed in the deserted theater at night, making Su Yun's spine tingle. .

The man didn't seem to notice Su Yun's presence, and was just watching the puppet show.

So Su Yun tried to walk lightly and walked out quickly, fearing that the person would notice him, but after walking only one meter away, he heard someone speaking quietly.

"I don't like the story."

The voice was word by word, with a cold breath brushing through the ears, as if it was spoken from behind Su Yun.

Su Yun's scalp was numb and he resisted the urge to look behind him, only looking slightly sideways at the center of the auditorium.

That person is still there.

Her head rotated, as if it was stuck, making a clicking sound. It slowly turned bit by bit until it turned to a normal arc. It stayed still for a few seconds, and then with a sudden click, the head turned to an incredible arc, and her face He faced Su Yun squarely, his mouth widening in a wide arc.

Su Yun's expression was suffocated, and fear swept over him again, making his hair grow cold.

That person, to be precise, was not a person. She did have a face that looked the same as Aya, but there was an obvious seam on her neck, like an exquisite puppet on the second floor.

"I don't like this story." She repeated this sentence with her grinning red lips, and there was resentment in her dark eyes.

Su Yun's instinct was to run away, but a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations to the player for triggering the side mission: Puppet’s Wish]

[Task tip: She wants to see a puppet show in her mind, and I hope you can fulfill her wish]

[System prompt: If the task is overdue and not completed, it will be deemed as a task failure. The player will no longer trigger the task.

...One thousand points! ! !
The rising fear in Su Yun's heart suddenly stopped, and he looked at the woman who looked exactly like Aya with a gentle expression, and her ferocious face became a bit friendly.

Well, actually the points are not points... Mainly there is an advanced skill for this task.

It’s not clear whether the skills in the game are easy to obtain. Anyone who has played ordinary RPG games will know that skills are very important for players to defeat monsters and save lives against other extreme players, not to mention advanced skills.

Although there is no specific skill description, for a newcomer like her, in a dangerous dungeon, it is better to have a skill by her side than not at all.

And this task...it is automatically accepted.

Either enter a more difficult game mode or complete it in three days.

Seeing Su Yun's gentle expression, the "person" pointed at the stage with his slender and living body, looked directly at Su Yun, and repeated again, "I don't like this story."

Su Yun was a little far away from the stage, and it could only be seen that it was the kind of exquisite puppet she used for practice during the day. Of course, the workmanship of this "person" was obviously more exquisite. No matter how far away the stage was, it was hard to see what was going on. It’s clear, those puppets are not the larger puppets specially made by the theater, but are of normal size. They appear a bit too small on a large stage. I can’t see clearly. After thinking about it, I walked up to the audience seat under his gaze. .

The puppet looked at her movements and pushed her head back manually.

It was only when I got closer that I noticed a strange scene.

The hanging silk puppet is performed on a large stage. The background cloth is pure black, and the performers are also wearing pure black, but the performers behind them can be seen, but these hanging silk puppets do not have it. Their silk threads are hanging in the darkness. The light was extremely strange, only shining under the silk thread, and there was no one behind it.

They seem to be moving on their own, and the lyrics come from the mouths of the puppets. There is no performer singing on the puppet's behalf.The puppet Aya pointed to the stage again, revealing the wooden jointed wrists under the plush shawl. She said: "Look -"

So the puppet drama on the stage seemed to be rewinding to the beginning of the play.

Su Yun glanced at her with a calm expression and said nothing.

She was so kind that she actually made herself start from scratch.

I just didn’t know if I could still catch up on my room renewal fee after watching a puppet show. When I came down from upstairs, I checked the time. It was [-]:[-] in the evening. There was about an hour left before the receptionist got off work. It was a bit late. tight.

But if you don’t stay and watch now, you might miss the detailed mission information.

This mission only lasts three days.

-

Why is the skill called silk-pulling opera? After watching the puppet show on the stage, Su Yun suddenly understood.

What was going on on that stage was the silk-pulling show.

Songs that were popular in the past and the background story of the silk-stringing opera.

It tells the story of a man who meets an old man who performs puppet shows in a temple on a snowy night. The old man has performed puppet shows all his life. Now he is impoverished. He laments that he has wasted all his life on puppet shows. He is lonely and accomplishes nothing. In the end, he will accompany him. Throughout his life, he threw his well-raised puppet into the fire and burned it. The puppet said goodbye with a smile in the firelight. The old man cried loudly, lamenting that he was really the only one left.

At this stage of the performance, the puppet looked angry and said: "I don't like this story."

She pointed at the puppet who was saluting in the fire and saying goodbye, "The puppet can only follow its master, and can't help but follow his master's every move. But he has been with him for the rest of his life, but in the end he actually blamed the puppet."

There were dark tears in her eyes, "Why?!"

The puppets in the play were burned up in the fire, and the old man cuddled beside the fire, unaware of life and death after the flames burned out on the snowy night.

The puppet Aya's head tilted up in a weird arc, a stiff smile appeared on her lips, and she looked at Su Yun, "I want a good ending."

Su Yun asked: "Is it to change the ending by pulling the thread?"

Puppet Aya's smile remained unchanged: "I will come here every night, you only have three chances."

As soon as she finished speaking, the silk puppets and puppets on the stage disappeared, as if everything just now was an illusion.

Su Yun didn't have time to think, a puppet show took a lot of time, she immediately turned around and ran away.

There are no pedestrians in the town at night, but many puppets have appeared in the tourist area at some point, hanging faintly on the street. They move automatically without wind, making a rattling sound, and stare directly at Su Yun. Su Yun moved her head as she followed her movements. When Su Yun looked at her, it seemed as if everything was her imagination. The puppets' eyes did not fall on her, and their movements were just for the wind.

Su Yun didn't dare to delay, so he quickened his pace and ran towards the hotel.

Suddenly, something caught her hair.

When Su Yun turned around, he only saw the puppet hanging on the street, his hands and feet fluttering in the wind.

 Su Yun: After the founding of the People's Republic of China, you are not allowed to become a spirit. You scared me. Change back quickly.

  Puppet Aya: 嘤

  (I just thought of this sentence, it’s so funny)
