One Hundred and Six 〈Automatic Doll〉

This is an unknown suburban area.

Its location is not remote, but it is also far away from the crowded cities.

No one will come here because there is nothing here for man to visit.

If there is anything here that can prove the traces of human beings, it is only that mansion.

It was a mansion located in this unpopulated outskirts, as if announcing to the world that he had no relationship with the world of mortals.

The mansion is in pure Japanese style, and there is a beautiful garden inside that does not match the outside, with various flowers and trees planted.

In addition, there are various small animals in this mansion.

Birds were singing in the trees.

The hound barked low on the ground.

Beetles dance in the air.

Fish and shrimp swim in the pool.

At first glance, this appears to be a well-tended little zoo.

But who knows?

These little animals that seem to be alive are all dolls.

"It's amazing..."

Standing in this garden, Luo Zhen felt nothing but amazement in his heart.

"Are all these works by Hua Liuzhai?"

If this is the case, then one can understand why this puppeteer is known as the number one person in the world of bionic puppetry.

Because, the puppets it makes are so lifelike that they are not much different from real life at all.

"If it wasn't for the not being able to detect the heartbeats of these animals, I wouldn't have thought that they were all puppets."

How could Luo Zhen not be surprised by this?

"Compared to these dolls, the dolls of the Akabane family are just puppets with hair, right?"

Luo Zhen couldn't help thinking this way.

It has been a full three days since I arrived here from Akabane's house.

During these three days, in order to get here, Luo Zhen took a carriage non-stop, and did not know how many transportations he changed, and finally found this place.

"But why doesn't it seem like there's no one here?"

Luo Zhen knocked on the door for a long time at the gate, and yelled at the mansion for an unknown number of times, but no one responded to him, as if this was a dead house with no one in it, what was presented was unbearable the silence.

This made Luo Zhen repeatedly confirm the address given to him by Akabane Kongguan, and after confirming that he was not looking for the wrong place, he couldn't help but pushed open the door and walked in.

Then, the scene in front of him was presented in front of Luo Zhen.

Looking at those lifelike puppets, Luo Zhen reconfirmed that he did not find the wrong place.

"Then why no one responded?"

Luo Zhen became a little puzzled.

Therefore, Luo Zhen subconsciously opened the to spread the magic wave around, and also used the skill of to sweep his eyes in all directions.

Right at this very moment...

"Shua!"

The sound of the air being cut resounded through the air.

"———!"

Luo Zhen's nerves were instantly provoked.

At the same time, its , which was fully active, also completely detected the incoming attack.

"ice…!?"

The incoming attack was the ice pick that cut through the air and shot towards this side.

The sharp ice pick flew across at the speed of a bullet, piercing directly in the direction of Luo Zhen, and landed on him involuntarily.

"Clang!"

After the crisp sound, the ice pick was blocked by a shield of thought power that suddenly unfolded.

While unfolding the shield beside him, Luo Zhen took a few steps back and spoke loudly to the surroundings.

"Excuse me, is this Your Excellency Hualiuzhai? I am an envoy from the Akabane family! I hope to see you!"

After the sound spread,

The faint chill fluctuating in the air stagnated.

However, the tense atmosphere did not ease at all.

After a while, a cold voice sounded.

"The house has no reservations to receive guests today. Since you are still young, I forgive you for trespassing. Please go back."

Such a voice came to Luo Zhen's ears, although it was cold, but there was an indescribable lightness and elegance.

Presumably, the owner of the voice must be a beautiful girl.

"A girl?" Luo Zhenxin thought to himself, "Is it Hua Liuzhai's entourage? Or is it a puppet made by him?"

If it was a puppet, then the opponent was undoubtedly an automatic puppet with a built-in magic circuit.

After all, the ice just now was obviously an attack by magic.

Coupled with the wise and clear words of the other party, if it is not a human being, then only an automatic doll equipped with a life circuit can do it.

Thinking of this, Luo Zhen's heart became active.

"I have been in this world for so many years, and I have never seen a real automatic doll."

Now that there is such a good opportunity, Luo Zhen naturally cannot miss it.

At that moment, Luo Zhen thought about his choice of words, and spoke to the surroundings again.

"Please also tell Your Excellency Hua Liuzhai that I have no malicious intentions, I just came to send a message."

Luo Zhen lowered his posture slightly, giving the other party a feeling that he was insignificant and could not pose a threat at all.

In this way, the other party should think about it to some extent, right?

as expected…

"Send a message?"

The girl's cold voice spread again.

"In that case, give the letter to me."

As soon as the words fell, the faint chill in the air disappeared.

Luo Zhen was startled for a moment, and then detected something, which made him turn around and look in the direction of the mansion ahead.

There, a figure came out slowly.

It was a beautiful girl who matched the voice just now.

The girl is wearing a kimono, her figure is elegant, and her delicate face is nothing like what should be in the world. It is as if carefully carved by an artist, and her beauty is breathtaking.

She has silvery-white waist-length hair, and a faint chill lingers all over her body. She looks like a fairy walking out of the snow, which makes people lose their minds.

Snow Goddess.

This is the most appropriate adjective for the other party.

"Is it snow...?"

Luo Zhen couldn't help but think of it.

"Could it be..."

While guessing in his heart, Luo Zhen's eyes never left the other person's body, there was no infatuation or gaffe in his eyes, only amazement and admiration.

And the other party seemed to be used to this kind of gaze, and didn't care much about it, but stopped at a distance from Luo Zhen, stared at him, and made a faint sound.

"Hand over the letter."

There is no trace of politeness between the words.

This is also of course.

Who let Luo Zhen break in without authorization?

Therefore, Luo Zhen didn't say anything, and directly handed the letter to the girl in front of him.

The girl took the letter.

"Just wait here for a moment."

After speaking, the snow girl took steps, left here, and returned to the mansion.

Luo Zhen was not in a hurry, and continued to stand in the courtyard, looking curiously at the lifelike little animals around.

And this wait was actually half an hour.

half an hour later...

"Is that the son of the Akabane family?"

The Snow Maiden came out of the mansion again, looked at Luo Zhen with inexplicable eyes, and said this.

"Master invites you in, come with me."

Hearing this, Luo Zhen laughed.
