High Energy QR Code: 52. Stickman

When all the puppets were waiting to leave the city gate, Cao Qian and Xing Ye hurriedly found a deserted corner to hide. The mirror blocked the two with his huge two-meter-high body. The little puppet, with its two brass arms akimbo, was able to protect Xing Ye for the first time, and he felt that he was awesome.

"What's going on?" Cao Qian looked at the mirror, approached Xing Ye, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Who is he? The obedient player I just met?"

If you don't say that this teammate Cao Qian has self-knowledge, seeing such a tall body in the mirror, she would never guess that he is a rebellious player.

"No," Xing Ye also said in a low voice, "my brother in this body seems to be a fool, he's easy to deceive, don't avoid him, click."

Xing Ye helped his chin: "Crack, I'm sorry, I should change the oil, click."

"Stupid? Could it be the only truth-telling puppet we're looking for?" Cao Qian asked.

"Kaba, do you think our luck will be so good? Kaba." Xing Ye looked at Cao Qian's broken arm while supporting his chin, "Can you use your initial skills like this?"

"I have already used it, but my body is too fragile to use force. I can lift heavy objects, but my arms will be crushed." Cao Qian said depressedly, she looked at Xing Ye's broken arm, " Can you use the initial skills?"

Xing Ye: "Crack, it's not a problem to use the pen with the left hand, but the knuckles of the fingers are rusted, and the speed is very slow. It may take half an hour to draw a QR code."

Cao Qian's small red phosphorus eyes made of two match heads seemed to be full of despair: "It may have been three rounds of fighting in half an hour, and I was burned as firewood!"

Xing Ye was silent for a moment, and decided to change the subject: "Let's exchange information."

He told Cao Qian what he heard and saw that morning.

Cao Qian also said: "Your intelligence is still behind me. I still have a mother in this world, a tin woodman."

"Huh? The stickman's mother is the Tin Woodman?" Xing Ye felt that this world cannot be deduced by common sense.

"Who knows what that Benedict is thinking," Cao Qian gritted her teeth, "I am a single-parent family, and my mother raises three children. The eldest brother is a new type of Tin Woodman just like the mother; the second sister is an ordinary one. but it is said that she is the most beautiful girl in the city and has many suitors. Of course, I can’t see how she looks good. She has different aesthetics; I lost my arm and leg, and my mother said that all the money she earned from pinching my feet was used to repair my body, and that I was a loser, and forced me to mine raw ore outside the city this morning to support myself."

Xing Ye: "...It seems that Benedict really wants to build a paradise, a puppet city full of beauty and love. It stands to reason that you are the weakest child in the family, and you should be taken care of by your mother and older brothers and sisters." My beloved child, but when he endowed the puppets with humanity, everything developed in the opposite direction, the puppets were full of deceit, and the family relationship became utilitarian.”

Cao Qian: "..."

Well, at least Xing Ye's brain is not rusted due to insufficient oil, and his reaction speed and analysis ability are still top-notch. In this case, he can still speculate the story line from the current situation, which is the only good news.

"I think what the system should seal most is not your initial skills, but the thinking ability of your brain." Cao Qian said.

Xing Ye was horrified when he heard it: "You can't talk nonsense like this. If it really finds a way to restrict it, what will we do in the next world, lie down and lose?"

Knowing that she said something wrong, Cao Qian stuck out her tongue. Her tongue was like a matchbox.

Xing Ye: "You don't have any rubbing surfaces on your body, right? You're covered with match heads, and it ignites when you heat it up a little!"

Cao Qian's body is a main torso made up of a thick match, all parts of her body are made up of small matches, and her head is a big match head with a few strands of wool planted on it, which looks like hair.

She was wearing a shabby skirt, which was why Xing Ye guessed that she might be a girl when he saw her just now.

In fact, Cao Qian's situation is better than Xing Ye's. She at least has a family and someone spends money for her. Although her mother always scolds her, at least she has someone to support her, and even a broken arm can be repaired.

Xing Ye gave the broken arm to the big mirror to hold, and supported his chin with his left hand, which can not only support the chin that is constantly "clicking" and "clicking", but also appear deep and majestic , although this kind of majesty and depth only existed in his imagination.

"Who is the person who repaired your arm?" Xing Ye asked.

"There is only one repair shop in the city, which is the old Nick's house. I heard that Master Benedict gave the puppet the ability to repair themselves. He wanted the puppet city to be free from death and disease forever, so he gave half of his name to Old Nick." Cao Qian replied, since she has family members, she can find out more information than Xing Ye.

"You go home and ask your mother for money, saying that your arm has been discounted and needs to be repaired. After you inquire about the location of the repair shop and tell us, you feel that you can start there." Xing Ye suggested.

Seeing Cao Qian's puzzled look, Xing Ye explained: "The narrator said that Master Benedict put his heart into a puppet's body, even if he becomes a puppet, he must make Puppet City a puppet city. The Utopia in his mind.

Although the mission does not require us to find Benedict, he must be an important character and we need to talk to him.

Even if Benedict is useless in the story, you and I still need him to help us change a body. It would be better for a player to kill me and leave this world, we are bodies that must lose now. "

Cao Qian thinks what Xing Ye said makes sense, but she doesn't understand his final logic: "If you kill me, you will get 1000 points, and if I lose the game, you will lose 2050 points. If you are killed by someone else, although the same will The points are halved, but can you still make up for the 500 points you got from me?"

Xing Ye's face remained unchanged, and he praised: "Very good, you can already see the trap in my words, you no longer follow other people's orders mechanically, and you have made progress."

Cao Qian was not angry. In the last world, Xing Ye said that she might stab her in the end, but in fact, when she was beaten all over by Bai Xu, Xing Ye did not give up on her, but forced Guan Ling to heal her. hurt.

"I understand, what you're talking about is the worst case scenario." Cao Qian said, "When the true ending was not solved in the last world, you still had the confidence to defeat Team Di Kuang, but you suffered from insufficient points. Unable to use the initial skills. It happened that I killed Teacher Li to get 1000 points, so the worst ending is that Di Kuang wants to kill you and me. If you face that situation, instead of letting them kill you, it is better to burn the boat and let you kill me Gain points and use the redraw pen to kill them."

Xing Ye really thought so at the time, he didn't expect Cao Qian to understand.

Cao Qian continued: "Besides looking for Master Benedict, you should have other goals, right?"

"Well, I suspect that there are obedient players in old Nick's shop."

Cao Qian blinked the matchbox eyelids on her eyes, waiting for Xing Ye to explain.

"There are five obedient players in this game, and the rich, powerful, skilled, and well-connected puppeteers in the city may all have obedient players." Xing Ye said.

Looking at the pitiful and dilapidated appearance of herself and Xing Ye, Cao Qian felt that this was too reasonable.

"Maybe your second sister is an obedient player." Xing Ye said, "The most popular female puppet in the city, countless puppets pursue her, and there is an unlucky rebellious player beside her. It conforms to the characteristics of obedience.”

Recalling the appearance of the second sister, Cao Qian felt that Xing Ye's analysis was very correct.

"Kang Dang"! The bronze mirror man standing in front of them beat his chest hard.

"What's wrong with him?" Cao Qian thought someone was coming, and asked nervously.

"It's okay, but I'm a little impatient to wait." Xing Ye said.

He knows the mirror too well, and he completely understands the mirror's current mood. The most beautiful puppet in the city can only be the bronze mirror man, definitely not a female puppet! The mirror is protesting.

Xing Ye asked: "Did you show your feet during this time?"

Cao Qian: "It shouldn't be a problem. The stick figure usually has a low status at home. He doesn't like to talk very much. We don't have too many expressions. Look at my face. There is a big red match with eyes and nose on its head. Mouth ears, face can not move at all, what expression can you make?"

"Then watch your second sister more," Xing Ye began to teach, "Your mother and brother may also be players, so you have to look at the problem dialectically, and you can't just focus on your second sister. If you must assign The proportion of attention is 70% of the second sister, 17% of the mother, and 13% of the elder brother. A single mother with three children may be rebellious; the latest type of Tin Woodman itself has an advantage, and it may be obedient.

Observe everyone's way of speaking, evaluation of other people, different people's attitudes towards you, other people's impressions of them, traces of life at home, placement of commonly used items and how they are used now, etc.

When you are alive, you will inevitably be connected with people and things. Even twins who grew up together will have slight differences. As long as the body is changed and the cover is perfect, there will be signs to be found.

Of course, when observing others, don’t forget to protect yourself. For example, when you sleep, if you have a bed, you must determine your sleeping position through the folds of the sheets and the degree of depression of the mattress, and disguise yourself from every detail. Understand? "

Cao Qian: "...I will try my best."

No wonder Xing Ye was able to quickly identify all the players in the last world, that's how it is!

This course is a bit esoteric, and she thinks it may take a long time to study for graduation.

After carefully teaching Cao Qian, the little stick figure went home clutching his arms. Xing Ye looked at her back and said, "I hope she can find clues."

The big mirror said: "What do I need to do? I am in good health, and the city gate over there seems to be opening, why don't I go to the mine to dig mines to support you. Look at my body, although I can't bend over , but still quite strong, although the limbs are a little rusty, but they are not afraid of fire."

Xing Ye: "I will definitely go to the mine, but not now. You don't have to worry about it for now. Let's observe first. It's good to meet Cao Qian in front of the city gate."

Although the mirror wants to support him, Xing Ye is really worried about him.

Jing Jing always said that he was a high-ranking player, but he looked stupid, and Xing Ye was afraid that he would be bullied when he went to the mine.

Because there may be players in Cao Qian's family, they need to avoid Cao Qian's family and find a reasonable way to contact Cao Qian.

After meeting Cao Qian, Xing Ye once again felt how desperate the system gave the rebellious players.

In the previous world, he and Cao Qian were novices, with few points, the system did not restrict them too much, which gave Xing Ye a chance to play. And in this world, the system suppressed their initial skills to death, and gave them an extremely fragile life.

The matchheads on Cao Qian’s body are real. They are indeed made of chemical substances such as potassium chlorate and manganese dioxide. Her body is also a flammable matchstick. No matter how strong her ability is, a fire can kill her , it is quite easy for opponents to deal with her.

And she is even more miserable, Cao Qian still has her family to take care of her, so she is not rusted yet. And Xing Ye is obviously a poor and pitiful puppet man, penniless, has no family, and has no money for oil.

Xing Ye sat on the ground, thinking about what to do.

He told Cao Qian that he was joking about killing and committing suicide, but he was also preparing for the worst.

But admitting defeat is not Xing Ye's style, how can he give up without hard work.

According to his understanding of the system, the system will actually give a little help to rebellious players, such as Claire's identity as the most beautiful girl and the money ability in the previous world, but this kind of help will not be as obvious as that of obedient players. Rebels need to find and discover by themselves.

The mirror saw that Xing Ye was thinking, so he sat beside him and made a gesture of supporting his chin to accompany him.

His body is flat, so this action looks more like a mirror head above him with temples.

It's ridiculous, but the mirror finally has a body... Wait!

Xing Ye looked in the mirror and found that he had overlooked one thing.

Mirrors are currently defined as props by the system. They can only change their bodies in different types of mirrors. Unlike other people, he has a body endowed by the system. It stands to reason that he can only possess soulless mirrors.

Xing Ye fell into a misunderstanding before. He never thought that the man in the bronze mirror would be alive, but mistook it as an object. But this world is different. Master Benedict gave life to the dolls, and every doll in the Puppet City is alive.

But in his home, in the warehouse-like debris pile, there is a bronze mirror doll without a soul.

If this is compared to the real world, isn't it surprising that there is a dead body in a poor ghost's house? A normal person would probably jump up in fright if he transmigrated into this body.

However, this is a puppet city, so Xing Ye naturally ignored it.

Another important point is that the puppet city in Master Benedict's ideal is not dead, as long as the puppets are repaired properly, they can live forever. The bronze mirror man's body is even stronger, why did he die at home?

If death is not established, it means that the Bronze Mirror Man has never been alive, he is an unfinished body, and Master Benedict has not had time to give him life in the future.

In other words, the Bronze Mirror Man is most likely a puppet made by Master Benedict before his death, or a failed product that did not want to be given life.

This kind of puppet is in the home of a poor ghost. How could this poor ghost have no secrets? In other words, the Bronze Mirror Man itself has some clues hidden.

Sure enough, all the clues are hidden in the details, it just depends on whether the player can break through the traditional thinking and find the problem.

Xing Ye hugged the mirror with his remaining left hand: "Thank you for helping me, we will go home now!"

Mirror: "Huh? When did I help you?"
