doll city

Ciling Central - Central Park.

"It's the beginning of the month, what is the new population counted this month?"

"Including the registered team, it is estimated that the new population will be 700, which is an increase from last month."

Lao Qiu was walking across the central park square with a report card. A burly man deliberately bumped into him on the road. When Lao Qiu turned his head, the man made a gesture of "wiping his neck".

"Hey, Lao Qiu." Someone whispered, "Is the thing about the convention and exhibition center true? Xianggu really dispatched second-level powerhouses and orphan-level components?"

"Indeed." Lao Qiu was not angry, and touched the wooden parrot on his shoulder, "Now their second-order and orphan-level parts belong to our M82."

As soon as he said this, he attracted a lot of hostile eyes.

But no one did anything in Central Park, so Lao Qiu just strolled over to his liaison office, and within two steps, he saw a familiar face.

"Hey, Xiaoyan." Lao Qiu warmly greeted him, "I heard that kid He Ming said, have you advanced?"

Yan Ge nodded and said, "It's a fluke to advance."

"No second-order person is lucky. Last time you rescued our president once in the exhibition center, the people in the meeting haven't thanked you properly yet."

...Compared to thanking him, he has already received the payment of the door god painting.

The reason why M82 hasn't asked him for it is because he has indeed turned the tables for them, and secondly, they also got a mirror that can rebound attacks. Orphaned parts of attributes are more useful.

Yan Ge didn't continue on this topic, but immediately asked: "The thing is like this, our team's stronghold encountered a wandering orphan-level living doll... Just tonight, I want to find you to organize other second-level dolls." Humans cooperate to hunt it."

The expression on Lao Qiu's face froze: "Orphan-level doll? Which one are you talking about?"

"The velvet flower empress."

After hearing this, Lao Qiu was silent for a while, took Yan Gela to his desk, took out a handwritten notebook from the drawer, flipped through it, nodded and said: "Nonghua Empress, hiss...that is indeed an orphan grade, Its strength is lower than the manual level, but it is mainly powerful in mental radiation, and it has a record of massacring a B-level team."

Yan Ge glanced over, and there were some descriptions about Empress Ronghua written in it.

It is not a person, its main body is a handmade velvet flower headdress, which will attach itself to human corpses, and it especially prefers humans with long hair.Theoretically, this kind of thing should be classified as manual, but its "personality" is very close to human beings, with strong jealousy and amazing destructive power. It will wander randomly at night, and once it enters the house, it will kill everyone .

Other information is unknown, and probably not many people have faced it head-on.

Lao Qiu weighed it for a while, and said: "You also know that we have recently been fighting with Xianggu in the open and in the dark, and the second-order team leaders are temporarily unable to get away, and the president is cleaning up the inner ghosts. They are very busy... However, I can recommend a B-level team to you, they should be interested."

Lao Qiu asked him to wait, and after a while, he brought the two of them over, talking and laughing.

"Xiaoyan, let's get acquainted. The B-level team 'doesn't have a name but is very arrogant'. The name is a bit silly, but the people of Team Tang are very loyal."

Good guy, the team name sounds crazy.

Yan Ge looked over, and Renka on the left exclaimed when he saw him: "So it's you!"

The person who spoke was indeed an acquaintance. It was Yu Guangyi who had met in the exhibition center before and was rescued by Yan Ge and the others. He looked at Yan Ge in surprise: "When we met last time, did you At the first level, you have advanced so quickly?"

Before Yan Ge could speak, next to Yu Guangyi, a young man with a black baseball cap, earphones and dyed red hair said, "Old Yu, he is the ruthless paper eater you mentioned." people?"

Yan Ge: "..."

Yu Guangyi was silent for a while, remembering that Yan Ge has now advanced, he immediately explained: "I didn't say anything bad about you, it was just that scene, um, you know, it was so impressive."

"I understand." Yan Ge nodded and stretched out his hand, "Yan Ge, the captain of 'Broken Chapter'."

The red-haired Captain Tang didn't move, his eyes slid over the green armband on his arm, he stared into his eyes for a while, and said: "The threshold for a B-level team is that there must be more than one second-level team member in the team." A high-level powerhouse, and capable of hunting a manual-level doll... You are too confident to challenge the wandering orphans just after entering the level."

Yan Ge said neither humble nor overbearing: "It depends on whether your self-confidence can fill in my missing part."

The red-haired young man smiled, shook his hand, and said, "Tang Yuan, he has the skill 'negotiation expert'."

Negotiator?The kind that discourages suicidal people...

Seeing Yan Ge raised his eyebrows slightly, Tang Yuan knew what he was thinking, and said: "You must be thinking, what kind of ghost skill is this, since you have just entered the advanced stage, I will tell you kindly - you have The strength of a skill does not lie in whether the name sounds good enough, but depends on the ability to use 'concept expansion'."

Yan Ge thought of Li Ya, obviously his ability to expand concepts was not at the same level as everyone else he had seen, so he agreed with this point of view without hesitation.

He nodded and said, "I think I should be able to fully trust your ability."

"I also hope that your strength is enough to become the basis for us to establish a stable cooperative relationship." Tang Yuan took off the earphones on his ears, hung them around his neck, and asked, "I haven't asked about your own skills yet?"

"Servant."

Yu Guangyi was a little unfamiliar, but Tang Yuan's understanding seemed to be much better than ordinary people, and he immediately understood that this was a synonym for an actor, but the scope was a little wider.

"You are very brave, handsome guy, choose such a wide-ranging name." Tang Yuan looked at Yan Ge deeply again, nodded and said, "However, it is indeed worthy of it... okay, it just so happens that there is nothing this week Arrange, I will take this job, time and place?"

"Tonight, No. 32, Tingdong Old Porcelain Street."

After bidding farewell to Lao Qiu, Yan Ge got into the car, and as soon as he started the car, he saw a stretched Lincoln slowly passing by the other side of the road outside the car window. When he approached, a face stunned him for a moment. When I wanted to see clearly in the past, the Lincoln car had already driven by.

"What's the matter?" Tang Yuan glanced at the car, and said, "You and the vice president of Xianggu, that black-dao surnamed Ma, do you have a festival?"

"...It's okay, maybe I read it wrong."

While the engine was starting, Yan Ge put his hand on the gun in his pocket. It was a pistol from the Tingxi Commercial Building.

And just now, he saw Ma Xiusheng's face in that Lincoln car.

……

"Xu Xu, who do you think this is?"

In a city villa, a little boy was playing with a bunch of live dolls. Beside him were two or three children of the same age, each wearing stuffy plush suits that pleased him. Seeing him turn his head away, his face froze after a long smile There was a little fear on his face.

The little boy named Xuxu left the dismantled doll in his hand, stood up and threw himself into the arms of a woman: "Mom!"

"My God, Xu Xu, why are you here?" Ma Xiusheng said with a surprised face, "I watched you go to school today."

An old man with gray hair and a goatee behind her smiled and said, "Xiusheng, you...well, you are new here, and I will explain these things to you later. Now that everyone can feel proud in Xin Ciling City, you can just take Xuxu and enjoy yourself."

Xu Xu looked excited: "Mom, I'll take you to see my little doll castle. After my uncle found me, he raised a lot of them in cages—"

Halfway through the little boy's speech, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his calf, his expression twisted, and he kicked away the tattered plush toy that was rubbing against him.

"Stop following me! You dirty my shoes again!"

The plush toy with giraffe pattern was kicked to the corner by him. It was the greedy snake that was protecting the little boy in the Tingxi commercial building at that time.

Only now it's so dilapidated it's almost unrecognizable.

The plush skin was cut open by a small knife, exposing the cotton inside. Occasionally, some iron sheets, springs, etc. can be seen. It seems that it does not have itself, but was forcibly stuffed in from the position of the mouth. of.

It moved its body like a worm, let out a mournful cry, and followed the well-dressed little boy weakly.

Xuxu's uncle, the current vice president of the Xianggu Organization, picked up the little boy and said, "Xuxu, you can't do a babysitter. It's all broken. How can you tell that it's my grandnephew Ma Zhaojun?" , Uncle, can I get you a big robot?"

"Robots! I like it!" The little boy Xu Xu's eyes lit up, and he looked back at the greedy snake who accompanied him here, with a disgusted expression on his face.

"I don't want to see it anymore. It's called a greedy snake, but it can't eat anything. What a waste."

Ma Zhaojun ordered the subordinates behind him: "Did you hear that? Throw this rag out and replace it with a new one for the young master. Anyway, the live dolls here like children, so you can have as many as you want."

The greedy snake was thrown into a garbage bag by several subordinates in black, and brought out of the villa, and changed hands one by one, and was finally dumped by a garbage truck into a garbage dump in a certain corner of the city.

Rotten fruit peels, discarded electronic equipment, plastic bags, and cans, the gluttonous snake arches its fluffy body, and its turquoise eyes reflect the feasting villas in the distance, gradually... stained with blood red. color.

It opened its tattered jaws and bit the first fragment of garbage.

……

"Do you know why dolls have the difference between blue-eyed dolls and red-eyed dolls?"

"We all know that red-eyed dolls can kill people, but no one can explain why. There is a B-level team dedicated to research in this area. After comparing a lot of data, they found that blue-eyed dolls will convert into red-eyed dolls under certain circumstances. I."

"That is being hurt and abused. From this point of view, living dolls have certain human emotions, and the more human beings pour into making living dolls, the more obvious this human element will be."

"And one of the essences of human nature is that if you are treated kindly, you will learn to be kind, and if you are abused, you will learn to hate."

During the short one-hour drive, Tang Yuan was sitting on the co-pilot, crossing his legs and chattering non-stop. Yan Ge was already interested in it from the beginning, and he kept repeating and exchanging various conjectures, becoming less and less interested.

"Do you usually talk so much?"

Tang Yuan: "Oh, I didn't talk very much when I was young, I mainly learned from star chasing."

Yan Ge said expressionlessly, "What star are you chasing? A talk show artist."

Tang Yuan: "What I pursue is music art, but my idol talks too much. Speaking of this, do you have any favorite singers?"

Yan Ge suddenly had an ominous premonition, and said, "I'm an idiot, so I don't know much about this."

Tang Yuan: "Then your life is quite lacking. You are all engaged in art performances. Your servant skills should also cover the concept of musical theater. It is not good for your own skill development if you don't know a little about music."

Yan Ge felt that there was something in his analysis, so he asked casually: "Then you recommend a more reliable singer, I'll go back and learn."

Tang Yuan slapped his thigh, stood up, and opened his clothes, only to see that he was different from others. Others' pockets were filled with weapons, but his pockets were filled with various CDs, concert merchandise, and a pair of selling movies. Son's frenzied expression.

"My friend, the gramophone in the golden age of the world, the moving Vienna, and the Asian musician card face L2, let me know?"

The author has something to say:

My brother: The golden age of the world, the gramophone, the mobile Vienna, and the Asian musician card L2, don’t you know?

Yan Ge: No, I just dumped it.
