"There is no guard on the floor where the storage room is located, but there are a large number of mechanisms installed inside the walls on both sides of the corridor. If people who do not understand the rules come here, if they rashly lean on them because they do not see the guard, they will immediately trigger the alarm and the deadly mechanism."

While talking, Fu Ju walked towards a table standing in front of the corridor while moving her fingers. There were ten ropes connected to the ring at the ends, and she did not hesitate to penetrate her fingers.

"The core of these warning lines is the wire-lock puppet. Only when they crack it remotely can these lines be withdrawn. Except for this, no means will be effective. Without knowing the method of cracking the mechanism, even the Shangguan family can only watch outside, let alone outside thieves... What they don't know is that this kind of mechanism has long been cracked by my grandfather, and it has become something that I and my brother were tired of when I was a child!"

The ten fingers bent and swung like a butterfly, and the silk thread stained with blue dust in the corridor kept trembling. Then the thread locked the doll's limbs began to make similar dance-like movements with a strange rhythm.

"You are here to crack the mechanism, I'll go downstairs to take a look."

Lu Jing knew that staying here would not help Fu Ju at all. This was a technical job, and no matter how hard the muscles were, it would be useless. So I might as well go down to see the situation first.

"Yes, I will go down to find you if I unlock the mechanism."

The danger of exposure of this kind of infiltrating action is one more second, and it is naturally the best to be able to divide labor and cooperate to improve efficiency.

Holding the kerosene lamp that Fu Ju put in his backpack in advance, Lu Jing was not in a hurry to turn it on. After all, part of the light on the third floor illuminated the second floor.

Walking down the stairs, Lu Jing lowered his footsteps as much as possible. No matter how speculation is, no lights can be equal to no one. However, Lu Jing soon realized that he seemed to be thinking too much. Until he stepped onto the second floor, he never heard any strange sounds, but instead smelled an extremely strong smell of oil.

The layout of the second floor is more like a research room or studio.

Taking advantage of the light leaking from the stairs, Lu Jing walked forward while looking at the surrounding scene.

In addition to the small compartments inside, nearly 100 square meters of space is used for some research activities. A workbench with a large number of tools and doll parts is placed, and it is closed, looking like a whale oil-powered machine tool and several prompt boards with design drawings standing next to it.

Lu Jing originally thought it was a production drawing of the soul-sending puppet, but after looking up, he found that most of them were mechanical doll structure design drawings.

That's it?

After spending so much effort to sneak in, Lu Jing wanted to see how hard the Shangguan family worked in the technical research of dolls. He directly skipped these things and turned his eyes to the cubicles inside.

Lu Jing did not believe that the cooperation between the Shangguan family and the Nightmare Ghost Pirates was limited to the Soul-Sending Puppet. His intuition told him that the two sides were so close that they would inevitably be dirty elsewhere.

Light the kerosene lamp and quickly walk to the door of the closest compartment to you. There was a notice posted on the door: Doll storage place, idle people stop!

ha!

Isn't this obvious that people can go in and take a look?

After sniffing, the rich smell in the whole room seemed to be overflowing from it. I raised my hand and grabbed the door handle, pushed it hard, and locked it without any surprise.

"Lu Jing, come here quickly, I'll open the agency."

Just at this moment, Fu Ju's voice came from the entrance of the stairs.

"Can you unlock the lock?"

Lu Jing did not go over, but turned around and said,

"There are several compartments here, I want to see what's inside!"

Hearing Lu Jing's call, Fu Ju did not hesitate and walked down the stairs and rushed to Lu Jing's side, asking him to bring the kerosene lamp closer.

"The situation here is a bit strange. It would be fine if there is no guard on the third floor, but there is no guard on the second floor. I just looked down at the stairs. Not to mention the guards, I couldn't even see a figure. From the window, I could see more than a dozen guards outside the door... There was no intention of patrolling the door at all, just like there was something here that I couldn't see... This lock is not special, it can be opened."

While talking about the suspicious points he found, Fu Ju took out two iron pieces with grooves from his pocket and inserted them in the keyhole. He turned around and noticed Lu Jing's strange expression and whispered,

"When I was a child, I learned a little more to make a living."

"Maybe they are doing shameful things here, they are all for cover. Arranging guards is not causing trouble for themselves... billions of dollars?"

In less than five seconds, Lu Jing heard the "click~" sound and was stunned. Is this fast and exaggerated?

The door of the compartment opened, and a smell that was stronger than before came to my face. Lu Jing immediately covered his nose. The moment the kerosene lamp lighted the compartment, the two frowned at the same time.

I saw that in a narrow compartment of only ten square meters, more than a dozen human-shaped objects covered with cloth stood side by side. The queue looked very neat, but it made people feel uncomfortable for no reason and reminded of some dark scenes.

"This smell is to prevent the doll from being worm-eatened by special fat. These should be finished dolls. There is nothing good to look at. The upstairs storage room is the key, inside...what are you doing?"

Fu Ju stepped forward and lifted the curtain, showing a doll wearing civilian clothes and an oval wooden block on his head. Some traces of mechanical structures could be seen at the joints. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Lu Jing reaching his hand towards a puppet at the edge of the second row.

"I seemed to see it shaking."

Holding the hilt of the knife in his right hand and pulling the cloth cover with his left hand. Lu Jing glanced at the puppet that was no different from the first row.

Is it an illusion?

Smack ~

A muffled sound attracted Lu Jing's attention. From the right side of the puppet, he shone with a kerosene lamp. He was stunned for a moment, and then bent down to pick up the thing that had just landed.

A mask made of copper coins.

"What is this..."

The more Lu Jing looked at it, the more familiar it became. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and he was about to pull the cloth covered on the doll that had removed the mask.

However, the hand stretched out but retracted at a faster speed. He pulled out the long knife around his waist and growled, "Who is hiding there! Get out!"

Hu~hu~huhu~hu~

The strange exhalation sounded one after another.

The dozen puppets that were originally standing quietly stood there, except for some of the first and second rows that did not move, the rest turned to Lu Jing instantly, and even the curtains covered by their bodies shook, and then rushed forward like a hunting dog that smelled blood.

"This is fucking...got away!"

Realizing that the situation was wrong, Lu Jing pulled Fu Ju's arm back.
