After Xing Ye finished talking, he didn't search in the puppet pile. He said to Cork: "What if someone finds that the puppet is fake and escapes from Benedict and runs over to find you to settle the account?"

Cork waved his hand: "I'm just a maid serving the young master, how do I know?"

Xing Ye winked at Cao Qian, Cao Qian punched Cork in the face, and the wall behind her broke again.

"I said, I said!" Cork said hurriedly in fright. "In the hands of the mine owner, he took the mine from Master Benedict because he hid the young master's puppet."

"Very good," Xing Ye nodded, "I'll look for it in this pile of dust."

Guanling: "..."

If you don't believe her, why do you ask?

But he just thought about it in his heart. The time spent with Guanling made Guanling understand that everything Xing Ye did was justified, and nothing was redundant. I feel that he is doing useless work because he is too stupid to understand the meaning.

The three of them looked around in the small black room, and Cork was anxiously rolling his eyes.

There are at least thirty bodies in the small black room, each of which is old and very realistic.

"These puppets should be made by Master Benedict himself." Xing Ye said, "Each is enough to be fake, and unless they are all taken away, they will not be found."

Both Cao Qian and Guanling have their eyes on flowers, and they can't tell the difference between dozens of puppets.

"No, every puppet is different." The silent mirror said, "Look at this, his nose is pointed, and this, there is a small hole in his finger with ink in the hole. The smell, the pen should pop out of your fingertips."

Cao Qian Guanling looked into the mirror. They were curious about the existence of the mirror, but Xing Ye didn't dare to ask.

Guanling sometimes couldn't help but look in the mirror. Cao Qian didn't even look at it, for fear of annoying Xing Ye.

Only when the mirror spoke, they dared to observe the mirror directly.

Xing Ye knew that the observation power of the mirror has always been strong, not just the power of the real eye.

An ability that can be activated without points is definitely not obtained by luck. According to Xing Ye's understanding of the system, he would activate the skill free of charge because even if the skill is not granted by the system, the mirror can see through the disguise of things.

The mirror turned around in the dark room, stood in front of the most inconspicuous puppet, stretched out his hand to hug it, and said with a smile in his voice: "You are the little master."

"How did you find out?" Xing Ye asked.

"Look at the surface of this puppet and compare it with other puppets. Do you see any difference?" the mirror asked.

Xing Ye shook their heads together, unable to tell.

The mirror sighed: "Smooth surface, other puppets are also made very finely, but there are more or less burrs on some parts. The puppet outside, which can vacuum, his fingertips are rubbed because of frequent housework. Rough.

Only this puppet, the whole body seems to have been polished by someone's hands, without any flaws. Someone must have made it and cared for it carefully. Just looking at it can feel full of love. This is a puppet made with heart. "

Xing Ye looked left and right, but couldn't see where the love was. Fortunately, he trusted the ability of the mirror, so he confidently said to the other two, "Well, that's it."

Cork was really nervous this time, she stopped in front of the door and said, "You can't take it away!"

"Don't you want your little young master to have a heart?" Xing Ye asked, "You worked hard to protect it, isn't it because you like it?"

Cork did not speak, but her attitude was firm.

"Guanling, restore the house smashed by Cao Qian." Xing Ye said suddenly, "Hide the dark room so that no one else will find it."

The two obedient players should be able to escape from Benedict. When they come back here, if the house is not repaired in time, they will be discovered that the dark room exists.

Guanling used his skills to break the mirror and rejoin, placing his hand on the wall, and the room was immediately intact.

"We need to talk." Xing Ye put the puppet in the hands of the mirror, and he sat in front of Cork, "Anyone who likes to lie will show his true temperament in times of crisis. I believe you care about the young master. Can you tell me why I didn't let Benedict install a heart for my son?"

Cork did not speak.

"If you don't tell me, we will immediately take the young master to see Benedict." Xing Ye threatened.

"No!" Cork screamed, "Little Master can't leave Puppet City. Master Benedict wants to install a heart for his son. It must be installed in Puppet City!"

Xing Ye squinted slightly. The small mirror found a clean rag and was wiping the puppet. It was covered with dust, but there were no scratches or rust. It was clear that someone was taking care of it carefully, but it was a fake. Look old.

Xing Ye originally thought that Cork was left by Benedict to protect the puppets. The security captain was her accomplice. They worked together to hide the puppets under the eyes of the city lord, waiting for Benedict to send someone to pick up the puppets. Who knows Not so.

Xing Ye thought about it for a moment, and understood, and said to Cork: "Before Benedict left a message to Old Nick, it means that he was not in a hurry when he left. He did not run away, but left by himself. It's not running away, why didn't he take the puppet? It seems that I was wrong before. The city lord has never threatened Benedict with the puppet. It is you who hid the puppet!

Benedict made you to let you take care of the puppet. He trusted you and ordered you to take the puppet out of town with him. Who knows that you didn't leave the city, but hid the puppet here, even Benedict couldn't find it.

And someone conspired with you, that is the captain of the security, you betrayed Benedict! "

"Neither do I!" The exposed Cork yelled nervously, "I did not betray the master. The only purpose I was created was to love the young master. The master hopes that I will love the young master with the same feelings as a mother. This is me. I can’t resist my own nature. Even if I know that I’m just a by-product of the young master, just to serve him, I still love him! This is a feeling that is integrated into my core and I cannot refuse."

The mirror stared at Cork and said to Xing Ye: "She is telling the truth. If you don't love, the puppet can't be so flexible for so many years."

When Xing Ye first arrived in this world, because the original owner of the puppet neglected to manage, his physical condition was very bad. Even if he manages himself and made it so bad, the puppet lacks the ability to take care of himself but is so flexible. Cork is really intentional, and he can't be so conscientious without feelings.

"Since I love him, why stop Benedict from installing a heart for him?" Xing Ye asked.

"Because I don't want to die," Cork said painfully, "The security captain saw the master's diary. After he left with the puppet, he wanted to destroy all the puppets in the puppet city and re-establish an ideal country suitable for the survival of the young master. , Our puppets are all failures.

The security captain, the city owner, and I all want to protect the Puppet City. We are human. When we are sad, the core will be painful. When we are happy, the core will be comfortable. When we think that we will be destroyed, we will be afraid. We don't want to die...

Cork's feelings are so contradictory, but extremely real.

Benedict can create a paradise for his son, and he can ruin it because of dissatisfaction.

But what about the puppets? If it is not human, a simple machine will not realize how terrible death is.

But Benedict has endowed the puppets with humanity. They understand the taste of fear. How is this different from killing?

Parents give birth to children, should they kill their existence because they did not grow up according to their own will?

There is no such reason.

So in order to protect herself, the few insiders in Puppet City persuaded Cork to hide the real young master. After Benedict left the Puppet City, he discovered that the puppet was fake.

At this time, the city owner had closed the city gate and prevented Benedict from coming back to look for the puppet.

If you really follow the ending route, after Benedict gets the real puppets, the puppet city will face a disaster.

"It seems that the real ending is to kill Benedict and clean up the Puppet City." Guanling said, "Fortunately, following the boss, otherwise the wrong ending will be played."

"Not necessarily." Xing Ye shook his head, "You have to remember one thing, what is our mission?"

Cao Qian answered the teacher's question in time: "Find the only puppet who speaks the truth and realize his wish. But who is the only puppet who speaks the truth?"

No one can be trusted in this puppet city, they are all big liars, who do not blink!

"It's him," said the mirror holding the puppet. "The only puppet that hasn't been fitted with a heart and has not been humanized."

After that, he found the clockwork on the little puppet and started to twist it.

"Is it him?" Guanling said in disbelief, "Does a puppet without humanity have any demands?"

The mirror didn't speak, and after the clockwork was wound, the puppet was placed on the ground.

The little puppet blinked his eyes twice, opened his eyes and circled the room blankly. When he saw Cork, he smiled happily and stretched out his hand and said to Cork: "Mom, hug."

Cork’s voice made her cry, and she said to Xing Ye: “Let me give him a hug, don’t take him away from me. The master’s wife died shortly after giving birth to the child. When the young master was young, I took care of him, and he kept calling my mother secretly when he was alive."

Xing Ye nodded, Cao Qian let go of Cork, and Cork knelt down and hugged the little puppet in his arms. He said happily and sadly, "My little master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

She loves the young master, and like Benedict, she hopes that the young master can be resurrected and live happily in the puppet city. But at the same time, she did not want the destruction of Puppet City.

In the safety of the young master and the puppet city, Cork chose the puppet city. She has always regretted and apologized to the young master.

Hearing Cork's voice, the little puppet reached out and touched Cork's face with a small wooden hand, and said in a very mechanical voice: "Mom, don't cry, don't cry."

"That's it," Xing Ye said suddenly.

"What?" Guanling was immersed in the relationship between Xiao Puppet and Cork, thinking of his wife and children who divorced him, almost crying. Of course, he will not cry, because there are no tears in Puppet City.

The mirror said gratifiedly: "The little puppet's wish, the task we have to accomplish, is this phrase, "Mom, don't cry."
