High Energy QR Code: 53. The Eye of Truth

Xing Ye and the mirror returned to the residence. The time is now around nine o'clock in the morning. It is the time when the sun is shining brightest. Xing Ye took down the wooden windows of the small dilapidated house to make the house look brighter. items in.

This time Xing Ye carefully looked at his dilapidated house and found that there are many shops near his house.

According to this structure, he should be living in a commercial area, but the location is very remote, the house is very small, and the facade is extremely dilapidated, without a plaque, more like a warehouse.

There is a large open space in front of the door, and no guests come in front of him at all.

With the help of the mirror, Xing Ye took out the old things in the house with difficulty.

He is more like a junk collector. There are many parts in the room, such as hands and eyes, but they should all be old and need to be replaced. There are also many tin woodmen's bodies, which are very heavy and occupy a lot of space.

Turning around until the afternoon, and the house was barely cleaned up after winding up several times in the middle. Xing Ye used the wooden boards, nails and hammer wrenches from the sundries to build a simple shelf, and put the small items in different categories. On different shelves, large items such as the body of a puppet are placed at the bottom of the shelf to fix the shelf.

After the classification is done, the items will be clear at a glance.

"There are more parts replaced by the new Tin Woodman in the room. There are all kinds of them, as well as tools and rags," said Xing Ye dragging his chin. The puppet body is very self-motivated, because he has no money, he goes around to pick up things that others don't want, hoping to have a new body for himself one day."

Looking at his current body, Xing Ye understands the original owner's thoughts very well, he is really too old.

Xing Ye: "The bronze mirror man should have been picked up by the original owner, but I don't know where he picked it up. There may be clues to Master Benedict among them."

Mirror couldn't nod without a neck, so he pounded his chest hard to express his agreement.

"It's a pity that there is no pen and paper in the house. The original owner has no habit of keeping a diary. I don't know where he found the bronze mirror man."

The thread stops here.

Xing Ye checked the body of the mirror again, this time he found algae in the gap of the mirror.

"You should have salvaged it from the river," Xing Ye said, "There is a net here, it seems that the original owner would often go to the nearby river to collect waste... Throwing things in the water will pollute the water resources, even if It is not a good habit for puppets not to drink water, Master Benedict is obsessed with making puppets, but he may not be aware of the environment.”

Xing Ye analyzes the character of Master Benedict based on the existing clues, hoping to find the master in the small town.

The mirror is very sad. He has tried his best not to think about his own ugliness, and now he finds that he was fished out of the river, rusty, dirty and ugly, with algae hanging on his body. But it was the worst time for him.

Even if it was a makeup mirror in the last world, Xing Ye would wash his body after every bath.

In addition to the river, there should be a repair shop and an engine oil shop where the original owner collects waste. He seems to have friendship with these people.

After analyzing these things, Xing Ye decided to go to a nearby engine oil store to find out.

In the morning, he and the mirror tried their best to avoid the eyes of the puppets of the oil shop. They hid behind the thin wooden wall and eavesdropped. They didn't officially show their faces in front of the shop owner.

Seeing that it's getting late, if we don't take any action, it will be dark, and then they won't be able to see anything.

Xing Ye appeared in front of the owner of the engine oil shop, and the owner immediately said after seeing him: "Recently, there is another batch of discarded parts. oil, you can take it and oil it.”

His tone is very friendly, which is very different from the way he treats customers in the morning.

Xing Ye accepted the package he handed over, and the owner of the engine oil shop said: "Don't always think about changing your body, Master Benedict is gone, no one will help the puppet change the body, the repair shop Neither can old Nick, he only fixes things."

Master Benedict is gone? It seems that the people in the town don't know that Master Benedict is still alive, so he should hide in the city as a puppet and watch every puppet he creates.

The oil shop puppet took out a notebook, took out a pen, wrote a few words on it and handed it to Xing Ye: "No, please sign the bill, second-hand goods also need raw ore to buy, you can keep the account, you have to give the original ore. "

Xing Ye checked the ledger, and it showed that he owed the puppet of the engine oil shop 20 years ago. For parts and old engine oil, he owed the other party 24 raw ore.

That's a lot of money.

There is no name at the signature place, only one handprint, Xing Ye presses the handprint on the new bill.

At this moment, a female puppet with long hair and wearing a beautiful skirt came to the store, and the voice of the puppet in the oil shop immediately became flattering: "Miss Linda, are you here to change the oil?"

"Take my sister to Uncle Nick's to have her arm repaired, and I'll come to you for an oil treatment." The puppet Linda tossed her long hair, which was a wig planted one by one on the top of her head.

Sister, arm repair, Uncle Nick... sounds very familiar, as if they are talking about Cao Qian.

This is not a coincidence, it is not uncommon for an oil shop and a repair shop to be located near each other.

Xing Ye observed Cao Qian's second sister, Linda. He couldn't tell how good the puppet was, but Linda's body was really delicate, her fingers were very flexible, and her eyelids were even made with eyelashes. The puppets are much more detailed.

Linda held out her hand, and the oil store puppet politely took her hand into the room, and found a female puppet worker to help her with engine oil care.

Seeing Xing Ye staring at Linda's back, the owner of the engine oil shop said: "What are you looking at! That's not the beauty you can imagine. The son of the city lord has been pursuing Linda for thirty years. You must have taken a fancy to him, you? Humph! Hurry up and collect the scraps from Old Nick!"

Thirty years... Do the residents of Puppet City calculate their time in ten years?

Unable to see what was going on inside, Xing Ye had no choice but to leave with a sack of waste on his back.

Just now when the owner of the engine oil shop mentioned Old Nick, he pointed to the southeast. This was a subconscious action, which meant that Old Nick's shop was most likely there.

With a reasonable reason, it is also good to go and see Cao Qian, maybe there will be new clues.

Xing Ye took two steps, saw the mirror still staring blankly at the engine oil shop, and comforted him: "When I have money, I will come here to give you oil care."

He feels like a poor boy who can only wish in vain.

"No," said the big mirror in a low voice, "I think that Linda is so contrived. Just now when the owner of the engine oil store wanted to hold her hand, her eyelashes fluttered by two millimeters, and she seemed very unwilling. Also, the way she brushes her hair is special... um... how should I put it, it seems like she's not used to the length of her hair. It's not a very graceful gesture, but... I shouldn't have long hair, I think it's troublesome and uncomfortable Adaptive action. The difference is very subtle, and I can't explain it clearly.

According to my real eyes, I think she is a player with short hair. "
