  Chapter 52 Murder Doll

  After this, Duanmuhuai and Ojis were taken to a church and temporarily imprisoned... But Duanmuhuai didn't care, because he really needed to find out what happened in this city.

  The girl priest named Lorena did not hide anything, and quickly explained the situation to Duanmuhuai.

  It turns out that during this period of time, there have been murders in the holy city, which made the residents of the holy city panic. According to some victims who have experienced the incident, they saw a puppet girl with silver-white hair as the murderer. Therefore, during this period of time, the holy city has been investigating and looking for the murderer...

   "A doll girl with silver-white hair?"

  Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned.

   "So you suspect that Augis did it?"

   "I'm very sorry, sir, we don't want it to be like this, but now it seems... the companion next to you is indeed the murderer described by the victims."

   "That's right."

  Duanmu Huai spread his hands helplessly. After all, the description of a puppet girl with silver-white hair is too narrow. Who could call Auges just fit it?

   "That's not what we did, though."

   "So, how do you prove it?"

   "I don't need proof."

   Duanmuhuai shook his head.

   "It's very simple to prove that we are not the murderers. If we stay here, but the killings continue to happen, then it means that we have nothing to do with it, right?"

"this………"

   I have to say that Duanmuhuai's proposal really surprised Lorena. She left for a moment, then came back, and nodded to the two of them.

   "Okay, let's do this. If there is another murder incident, then we will confirm that the incident has nothing to do with the two of you, but before that, please stay here and don't act rashly."

   After saying this, Lorena turned and left, while Duanmu Huai looked at Augustes.

   "A puppet girl with silver-white hair... Augis, do you have any impression?"

"No……"

  Augis silently shook her head.

   "I am the only one created by my father."

   "Well...that's right..."

  Hearing Augis's answer, Duanmuhuai touched his chin. For some reason, he always felt that although Augis did not do this, it seemed that it had nothing to do with Augis. This is not because of any evidence, but because of a certain intuition... Then, let's wait and see what happens next.

   and change, earlier than Duanmu Huai imagined.

   Late that night, Lorena came to the prison of the two, and bowed to the two with an apologetic expression.

   "I'm really sorry, all this is a misunderstanding, you two can leave."

   "So, another murder happened?"

   "Yes, the church is tracking down the murderer, but it is already certain that it has nothing to do with the two of you. I am really sorry for letting the two of you be treated like this..."

   "No, it's not important, Miss Lorena."

   Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

   "If possible, can you take us to the scene of the crime?"

"Why?"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's request, Lorena couldn't help being taken aback.

"this………"

   "Auguste was mistaken for the murderer, which means that we are not completely unrelated to this matter. In any case, we also want to do our part to find out what happened."

  “……”

   Facing Duanmuhuai's words, Lorena thought for a moment and nodded.

"plz follow me."

  Led by Lorena, Duanmuhuai and Augis left the church, crossed the street, and arrived at the scene of the crime. The place had been completely sealed off by the knights, and there was a strong smell of blood in the street. Soon, Duanmu Huai saw the victims—they were all cut into pieces, and their limbs were scattered all over the place.

  Seeing this, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but glanced at Aokis again. If he hadn't been with Aokis all day, he would have suspected that Aokis did it.

  It doesn’t matter how long the portrait is, even the fighting methods are so similar...

   And Augis herself was obviously surprised, looking at the murder scene in front of her, wondering what she was thinking.

At this moment, Lorena also explained the story to Duan Muhuai. According to the survivors, they met a girl who was acting alone on the way home after drinking and carousing in the middle of the night, so the group of young people relied on Drunk went up to strike up a conversation, but was directly dismembered by the other party, and then the girl left the scene, and the remaining survivors who did not go up to make a move screamed in terror, attracting patrols...then blocked the incident on site.

   That's it.

   "So, can you call those survivors over?"

  After listening to Lorena's description, Duanmu Huai quickly put forward his own suggestion.

   "Since they have seen that doll girl, they must be able to recognize it by comparison."

  Lorena also thought Duanmuhuai's proposal was very reasonable, so she quickly asked the knights to bring those trembling young men over. This group of young people behaved quite normally at first, but when they saw Augis standing beside Duanmuhuai, they screamed and collapsed to the ground in fright.

   "It's her! It's this demon!"

  Hearing the accusations made by the victims, the knights also hurriedly took up their weapons and moved towards Duanmuhuai and Augis.

   "Okay, calm down!"

   Instead, Lorena hurriedly shouted to them to calm down.

   "Are you sure it's her?"

   "No, that's right, it's her! It's her!"

   "Are you sure?"

   At this time, Duanmu Huai also strode up to these young people and stared at them. Looking at this tall warrior in terrifying armor, the young men trembled with fear.

   "Look carefully, are you sure the person you see is exactly the same as her?"

  Duanmuhuai gestured for Augis to come in front of these young people. Seeing Augis, these young people trembled in fright, but soon, when they realized that Augis had made no further moves, they boldly opened their eyes and carefully looked at the doll girl in front of them.

"How about it?"

  “………”

   Facing the question, several young people looked at each other and answered tremblingly.

   "It's a little... different..."

"Where?"

   "That...clothes...that doll is wearing a white dress...and hair...she looks disheveled...not tied with a ponytail, and..."

   Having said this, the young man paused for a while, looking at Augis cautiously.

   "It feels...it seems a little different."

"Feel?"

   "Yes... that puppet feels crazy, like a mental problem..."

  A puppet with a mental problem?

  Duanmuhuai and Augis looked at each other for a day, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

  After taking the victim away, Duanmuhuai also took Augis aside.

   "Augis, what do you think?"

   "I don't know, master... This confuses me, I can't understand... why the doll's spirit is abnormal..."

   "Hmm... imagine."

   Duanmu Huai was not surprised by Augis's answer. The initial impression that Augis gave Duanmu Huai was like a robot. She has her own way of thinking and logical thinking, but she doesn't understand human thoughts and reactions. But that doesn't seem to be the case, according to the victims. Of course, this is not impossible, just like the robot riot may not be out of self-awareness, it is more likely to be the result of some programming error or logical confusion...

   "It seems that this is really interesting..."

  Looking at the system task prompt protruding in front of him, Duanmuhuai said to himself.

   The three shifts a day are too tiring, I can’t bear it, so I resumed the two shifts
