Chapter 163 Smiling Puppet
There was a "Closed" sign outside the restaurant. He went around to the side and pried open the door to get in. He originally planned to go directly to the third floor, but he didn''t expect to see the puppet man on the first floor.
?It is still the same one as yesterday, but it has been burned and the body parts that have been replaced with corner parts have all been replaced with new round wooden blocks, leaving only traces on the joints.
It is mopping the floor.
Xu Huo walked to the door and put down the things in his hands. The puppet immediately turned its head and "looked" at him, pulled its mouth down again, turned its head 180 degrees without moving its body, and rushed towards him waving the mop. To him!
Xu Huo casually swung out the telescopic pole. After the rod head carried electric current to push the puppet away, he poured a bag of ground paste on the ground. When the ground paste with added technological elements landed, the skin on the side not leaning on the ground automatically Unroll it, and one of them just catches one of the puppet''s legs.
??The puppet, who was more flexible than a living person, slipped under his feet and hit the ground with a bang. After his body parts fell apart, he was stuck with a few pieces of ground glue!
The puppet without the ability to think does not know how to avoid things on the ground. It gets up from the ground and retracts the wooden blocks at the same time, but the piece of ground stuck to its feet slides sideways as if there is no friction. So it just stood up and fell into several pieces.
Xu Huo took advantage of the gap where the puppet''s body had not yet gathered up and threw the sticky net over. As soon as the big net covered the puppet, it automatically shrank and took in most of its body.
"Kakakaka!" A wooden leg and a wooden hand were still struggling to crawl back. The puppet fell to the ground. After finding that it could not get rid of the ground paste on its body, two rows of metal blades suddenly stabbed out of its torso. He rolled on the spot and actually cut two gaps in the net!
? Xu Huo pressed the remote control without changing his expression, and the slime on the mesh exploded, sprinkling onto the puppet like glue.
The puppet knew nothing about slime. It rolled twice on the ground. The net was cut open, and its body was stuck together in a mess. The legs and hands that crawled over were all stuck to its back, and finally it faced the front. They were huddled together like a pile of wooden tubes.
Even so, it still faced Xu Huo with an angry expression.
Xu Huo came closer, and just as he took out the telescopic rod, the puppet''s mouth suddenly moved sideways, and a small black shadow spit out from the small hole exposed in the middle!
He reflexively opened it with a swing. When the thing bounced off the wall and fell to the ground, he saw clearly that it was a black insect. It looked a bit like a wingless dragonfly, but after it hit the ground, its body suddenly turned into liquid. In an instant, a hole as big as an egg melted out of the ground!
With a frown on his face, Xu Huo took out a bottle of mucus and inserted it into the puppet''s mouth. He poured the whole bottle in. After the puppet took two sips, the "mouth" stuck to the bottle.
?Despite this, it still had no intention of stopping its attack, but the way its bodies were stuck together and it was slamming the bottle on the ground looked a little funny.
?Xu Huo stretched out his hand to straighten its two downward-drawn mouths. The "twitching" puppet immediately regained its composure. At the same time, he received a game prompt:
【Smiling Puppet: A puppet with an ill-fated fate. 】
[Originally made as a cleaning puppet, it is of course also equipped with a bit of hospitality and defense functions. When it smiles, it means that the owner welcomes guests entering the castle, but when it is angry, it means that the owner wants to send the guests away. As one of thousands of puppets in the castle, it devotes itself to its cause. 】
【But as the lowest puppet, it did not attract attention, so it was stolen. 】
[The person who stole it imprisoned it in different places and forced it to do things it didn''t want to do. Even though its new owner was dead, it still couldn''t leave this place. The only thing it could do was miss it while cleaning. A look at the old owner who made it. 】
【If a kind person can send it home, the owner of the castle will give you a large thank you gift, you just need to raise the corners of its mouth. 】
?Xu Huo’s expression darkened slightly after reading the introduction of the puppets.
As a prop, this puppet’s experience is a bit too much to write about, but it just proves one of his ideas—the Bear Claw Restaurant has no owner.
Ignoring the puppets on the ground, he turned and walked upstairs.
??The remains and bloodstains in the restaurant on the second floor have been cleaned up, and the guests on the third floor and above have also been cleared away. He went straight to the room where the girl in the white dress stayed last night.
?The scene here is completely different from the scene he saw last night. When he opened the door and walked in yesterday, it was still a normal hotel room, not much different from the one he lived in. But now, the bed was replaced by a large wooden cabinet, the wine cabinet and the sofa were replaced by a large desk, and the wall The furnishings on all sides were replaced by bookshelves.
This is not a bedroom, but a study.
??Move the wooden cabinet, there is still a step below, the sensor light illuminates the way to the secret room, and a putrid smell hits your face.
There is a highly decomposed corpse in the middle of the secret room.
The appearance of the corpse was indistinguishable, but his head was missing, and his hands and feet were cut off and placed separately as if he had undergone some kind of sacrifice. The dried blood on the ground covered most of the room, showing the miserable state of his death.
There was an overturned table next to it. There was a list among the scattered books. Xu Huo picked it up and looked at it. From top to bottom, only the last two names on it were not crossed out with a red pen.
Like the list mentioned by Sun Jirou, there are only two names left, and the contact information of several stores is written on the back of the list.
They were indeed killing according to the same list.
From the corner of his eye, he saw a bit of white fluff on the bookshelf next to him. He went over to move the bookshelf away - it was a dead cat, and it looked like it was as decomposed as a corpse.
There are no cats at Bear Claw Restaurant.
??Took out the neckband from the cat corpse, and there was a very small jade sign pattern engraved on the back of the bell hanging on it.
“The same pattern.” It was not the picture the girl in the white dress gave him, but the emblem of the mysterious organization on the Internet.
? Xu Huo held the bell and searched the secret room, and soon found a metal plate in a hidden drawer under the table. The pattern on it was the same as the one on the drawing.
??Rubbed his fingers on the metal plate, Xu Huo turned his head and glanced at the hidden drawer, then at the rotting corpse on the ground, then put the metal plate away, took the cat corpse with him and walked out of the secret room.
The puppet downstairs was lying quietly on the ground, showing no reaction to him coming back.
??Xu Huo poured the lotion on the ground, dissolved part of the mucus, picked it up and put it into the cage. He put the cat in, covered it with a shading cloth, and left the Bear Claw restaurant with the cage.
?Back at the carving shop just now, less than an hour had passed. The master also didn’t raise his head and directly threw a metal plate to him, “It’s what you want.”
?Xu Huo held the sign and suddenly smiled, "How do you know it''s not made of jade?"
If there is any repetition at the beginning, refresh it. (.＿.)
