Fangzheng skillfully took off the doll's coat and examined her from top to bottom.
After all, Fangzheng had only seen anime before, so he wanted to know what this doll looked like.
After careful examination, Fangzheng finally had a relative understanding of the Rosette Maiden.
Unfortunately, the body of this doll was different from that of a human. Although her hands and feet were made like a human, her knees, ankles, and elbows still retained the spherical joints of a doll. This was normal. Fangzheng remembered that the person who first created the Rosette Maiden was a puppeteer, not an alchemist, so it was impossible for him to create a cyborg.
But other than that, Puppeteer had made the puppeteer look exactly like a human. Even … Fangzheng really suspected that Puppeteer had made the puppeteer so lifelike just to satisfy some of his bad taste buds.
After all, if Fangzheng were to be honest, other than her body shape, the rest of her body structure was basically the same as the dolls Fangzheng bought before he traveled to this world. In other words, she was a complete imitation of a human.
Therefore, he suspected that Puppeteer might have some kind of weird hobby.
After all, even if he was making a robot, he would not make her body structure really "imitate" a human for no reason.
Unless he had some special needs.
So, Fangzheng helped Zhen Hong put on her clothes again and put her on his table. He picked up the key from the box, inserted it into the hole behind the doll, and turned it a few times.
Soon, under Fangzheng's gaze, the doll in front of him trembled a few times. She slowly opened her eyes, stared at Fangzheng, and stood up.
Hmm... How should he put it? It was a little strange.
According to the principle of the Uncanny Valley, ordinary people would feel fear when they saw something that looked like a human but was not a human. It was just like the dolls from the Hiyama Shrine that Sheyan collected in the Microcosm. Every time Crimson Daisy came out and went in, she would be scared by those dolls. Many clients who came to the law firm for help were scared by the puppets several times.
But Zhen Hong was different. Fangzheng had to admit that Puppeteer was indeed a master. Even though he was a psychopath, when she put on her clothes and woke up, she looked more like a living human girl than a moving puppet.
No one knew what material it was made of.
Although it had spherical joints, Fangzheng had already touched it earlier. It was so red that its entire body was soft, no different from a real human's skin, be it its face, hands or other parts. It was obviously not made out of wood or other similar materials ….
"Pa!"
Just as Fangzheng was pondering over it, he saw Zhen Hong walk in front of him. Then, she raised her tiny hand and slapped Fangzheng.
Then, Zhen Hong slapped Fangzheng's face with both hands.
"Pa pa pa pa pa pa!!"
"… What are you doing?"
Although Zhen Hong did not hold back, to be honest, she did not have much strength at all. Her slaps on Fangzheng's face felt like he was hit by a pillow. But Zhen Hong was obviously unhappy. She raised her hand and slapped Fangzheng's face again and again.
"What a perverted male. How dare you do such a shameful thing to me."
"I'm just curious about your body structure."
Fangzheng shrugged helplessly. Apparently, this doll girl was not completely ignorant of the outside world. Huh?
Wait a minute. In other words, when I didn't wind her up just now, she was still conscious, but she could not move?
Huh? Didn't Fangzheng read about this in some hypnosis book?
In other words, when he took off her clothes and touched her body from the inside out, she actually knew?
Not only did she know, but she also felt?
No wonder …
Fangzheng scratched his head when he saw the girl glaring at him with a blushing face. He silently wiped the water stains on his fingers with a tissue.
"Sorry, sorry. I just thought your body structure was very strange, and I didn't expect you to have consciousness."
"… … Alright, I accept your apology."
The doll girl snorted.
"But there won't be a next time."
With that said, the doll girl turned around and looked at Fangzheng.
"My name is Zhen Hong. I'm the fifth doll of Rosette Maiden. What's your name?"
"Jiecheng, Jiecheng Zheng."
Fangzheng wisely pretended that he did not know her at all. The reason why Zhen Hong let him go so easily just now was because she believed his explanation. She thought that Fangzheng was just inspecting the doll. But if Zhen Hong found out that he knew about her relationship with Rosette Maiden and still did that to her … then he would be in for a treat.
By the way, Fangzheng really did not expect Zhen Hong to have consciousness even without being wound up. After all, that anime was a childhood memory …
"But then again, why did you come to my place?"
Although he could not remember the plot clearly, Fangzheng still remembered that in the anime, the male protagonist seemed to have received some kind of leaflet, filled it out, and received a suitcase. But he had been busy with exams recently, so he had no memory of that at all.
"This is the guidance of fate."
Zhen Hong replied casually. It was hard to tell whether she was telling the truth or not. She looked around Fangzheng's room and frowned slightly.
"What a boring room. This kind of place is not suitable for me."
"If you want to stay here, I can prepare a guest room for you."
Fangzheng's room had always been relatively clean and tidy. In other words, there was nothing much in it. Basically, there were only some musical instruments, a computer, and a large, comfortable bed. He was not a fan of idols like other boys his age, so there were no posters or dolls in the room. To be honest, most of the time, this place looked more like Fangzheng's studio.
"There's no need for that."
Zhen Hong stared at Fangzheng and said, "You've turned my clockwork.
"My clockwork has been turned by you, so from today onwards, we will live together."
"Oh … I see …"
"You don't seem surprised at all?"
Zhen Hong stared at Fangzheng curiously. The latter sighed, "Trust me, Zhen Hong.
"Trust me, Scarlet. I've seen too many strange things in my life. A puppet coming to my door out of nowhere and asking to stay with me isn't even in the top three …"
Bang!!!
However, before Fangzheng could finish his sentence, a window not far away suddenly exploded. Immediately following that, a clown puppet rushed in through the window with a kitchen knife in hand.
"Seriously, I don't even have time to drink tea."
Zhen Hong showed a serious expression as she looked at the clown puppet in front of her. But just as she was about to do something, she saw Fangzheng suddenly swing his right hand.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!!
The next moment, several flying knives shot out and nailed the clown puppet to the wall. Seeing this, Zhen Hong widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Fangzheng. The latter stared coldly at the puppet in front of him with a gloomy expression.
"Where did this damn thing come from? How dare you break my window? Are you tired of living?! "
However, the clown puppet had no intention of obeying. On the contrary, it struggled even more fiercely. But the next moment, as Fangzheng raised his hand again, a flying knife pierced the clown puppet's head. At the same time, it stopped moving and turned back into an ordinary puppet.
"… What a barbaric human."
Zhen Hong said with a complicated expression as she watched Fangzheng walk up and remove the flying knife nailed to the wall. Meanwhile, Fangzheng glanced at her.
"Humans have always been barbaric. Besides, this guy came looking for trouble with me. I can't just sit here and wait for it to kill me, right?"
Dong! Dong!
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps sounded. Then, the door was pushed open, and Mei Gan and Eve rushed in.
"Big Brother, what happened just now? Why was it so loud? What happened? "
Mei Gan shouted as she looked into the room. Then, she saw the broken window not far away and was stunned.
"What's going on?"
"It's a long story."
Fangzheng sighed helplessly and shook his head. Then, he looked at Zhen Hong by his feet.
"Anyway, let's have a cup of tea first, then sit down and talk."
After that, under Fangzheng's lead, the group returned to the living room. It had to be said that Mei Gan and Eve were indeed shocked to see a walking and talking puppet. But just like how the teachers in this world did not care that Eve could turn her hand into a knife, Mei Gan only expressed her amazement at Zhen Hong's existence for a moment before quickly accepting it.
As for Eve … She had only been born in this world for less than a year, so she had not fully established her "common sense" yet.
Even if an animal could talk, Eve would not be surprised, let alone a puppet that could talk.
After sitting down, Mei Gan brewed a pot of black tea. Fangzheng took the opportunity to tell the two the whole story.
"So that's how it is. The little Zhen Hong is in that box."
After listening to Fangzheng's story, Mei Gan finally understood what was going on.
"So, is Zhen Hong going to live here from now on?"
Mei Gan did not mind. In fact, she welcomed it very much. The livelier the house was, the better.
"Of course."
Zhen Hong put down the small teacup in her hand and stood up again. She walked across the table to stand in front of Fangzheng and extended her left hand to him.
"But before that, you must complete the contract."
"Contract?"
"That's right. You've turned my spring, so you've accepted the contract. You will become my servant and protect me forever. If you're willing, kiss the ring on my finger. "
As he spoke, Shingo Hongyi stretched out his left hand towards Fangzheng. On her small ring finger, there was indeed a rose ring.
Faced with Zhen Hong's request, Fangzheng thought for a moment and quickly gave an answer.
"I refuse."
