I couldn't fall asleep, and I couldn't fall asleep without Irene making trouble next to me.

It was probably the first time that I experienced a serious exploration of a foreign land. It was really exciting. It was also probably because I had been exposed to too much information recently. At this time, it all came to my mind. Yu Sheng couldn't stop. There were random thoughts in his mind, so after tossing and turning and barely sleeping for two or three hours, he got up, put on a coat over his pajamas, and quietly prepared to leave the bedroom.

As soon as he opened the bedroom door, the little doll on the bed suddenly sat upright again, his eyes still closed: "Going out, where are you going?"

As soon as Yu Sheng got the certificate, he was about to answer the other party when he saw Irene fell down again. When she fell down, she was still muttering: "Don't forget to bring a helmet when you buy money. You and the silly fox are both exhausted." He won’t take me to play games either.

The random talk in her sleep - why she, a doll, not only needs to sleep, but can even talk in her sleep?!

Yu Sheng felt a strange desire to complain. After confirming that Irene was not awake, he quietly opened the door and walked to the corridor outside.

The sun has not risen yet, and there is still endless darkness outside the house. It is the quietest time before dawn. It is so quiet inside and outside the house that the sound of walking on the floor in slippers is particularly loud and sudden.

Yu Sheng looked around and first saw the door at the end of the corridor. He walked over, cautiously opened the door a little and took a look inside. Seeing that everything in the room was still as usual, he felt relieved slightly and turned around to walk towards Stairs at the other end of the corridor.

As soon as he came to the stairs, he saw the clothes hanging on the railing post - it was the coat he wore when he went out last night. Because he came back very late, he didn't pack it away and just hung it here.

There was still a large amount of blood stains on the coat, and there was a big gash in the place where the giant wolf had bitten it. It looked very scary.

Yu Sheng picked up the coat and looked at it. He didn't look carefully when he came back. Now he felt that the clothes must be very important. It would be a lot of work to mend them. The huge amount of blood stains might not be able to be washed away, and it was nothing in itself. It’s better to just throw away the expensive clothes later.

I just don't know if a "bloody coat" that looks the same as one recovered from a murder scene would scare people if thrown directly into the trash can, and the neighbors might have to call the police.

Yu Sheng's mind was spinning with all kinds of thoughts. One moment he lamented that the amount of blood he bled was really huge, and the other moment he regretted that the blood was so much that he didn't dry it up. He painted it everywhere in the exhibition hall, and maybe he could win the right prize. I may have more control over the "museum" or unlock some new gadgets. For a while, I thought about what the giant wolf that emerged from the shadow of Little Red Riding Hood was, and worried about the girl being chased by the evil wolf...\ n

His eyes kept looking at the blood stains on the clothes unconsciously. Gradually, the messy thoughts in his mind gradually converged into the same curiosity.

Blood, your own blood...what the hell is it?

This doubt has been lingering in my mind for a long time, but there is no time or ideas to verify or study anything. At this time, Yu Sheng suddenly had some ideas. He couldn't sleep anyway. After a moment of hesitation, he turned around and walked on. Stairs leading to the attic.

The night wine entered the window, and the attic was quietly filled with a dark blue and almost ink gloom. The big table that "Irene regarded as an "alchemy table" was quietly located in the depths of the darkness. There were also the above items on the table. The tools used when making the doll's body for the first time, a few old books were piled on the corner of the table, and next to it was the old desk lamp.

Yu Sheng did not turn on the big light, but turned on the old desk lamp. In the limited but more focused light, he slowly sat in front of the table, thinking about something.

He used two segments of lotus roots to reshape Irene's arms, and the little doll turned into a mini lotus root. Irene protested fiercely, but aside from her fuss, there was one thing that was actually worth paying attention to.

That is, in the knowledge system of Erin, a "professional doll", this kind of random operation would never be successful. Clay, flour, and even clay dug from the garden can be used as materials for making dolls. "Lotus root" was not the case. After hesitating for a moment, Yu Sheng took out a disposable mixing cup from the drawer, picked up the paper knife on the table, gritted his teeth and made a cut on the back of his hand, and dripped his own blood. Enter the cup.

He had no occult knowledge. Apart from the mechanized "operations" in the process of making dolls, Irene only taught him some superficial knowledge about spiritual guidance, guidance, and activation, and they were all spoken casually. degree.

But for Yu Sheng now, those superficial knowledge are enough for him to satisfy his curiosity.

After completing an exotic exploration with Little Red Riding Hood, he is now very interested in the field of mysticism and is eager to increase his experience and knowledge in this area.

According to the method that Irene taught him in his mind, Yu Sheng arranged the candles for the spiritual infusion ceremony on the table, and placed his own blood on several concentric circles and connected "focuses", and began Try to activate your own "spirituality" and infuse this power into those separated blood.

Eileen said that "blood" is an excellent "natural alchemical wonder". The flow of blood symbolizes "life", the greatest miracle in the universe. It is the easiest substance to react in alchemical rituals, even if it is Even a novice with feet can use it to complete many tests.

But Yu Sheng encountered a problem at the first step.

He doesn't know how to activate his "spirituality" - although he has been able to feel the existence of "spiritual intuition" more and more clearly recently, so far he has not been able to express this feeling that is said to come from the essence of the human soul. "Spirit" is perceived and controlled as a specific and controllable "element". He cannot feel any supernatural "energy" appearing in his body, and naturally has no way to infuse it into his separated blood.

He could only give full play to his imagination, and then he almost fell asleep.

After struggling for ten minutes, he saw that the blood in the cup had a tendency to solidify, so he gave up testing in this direction.

Maybe some "auxiliary materials" are needed?

Yu Sheng thought for a while, opened the drawer again, and took out a bag of sticky rice from it. He bought this again after running out of sticky rice last time, considering that Eileen may have an emergency that requires repair of her limbs in the future. , he now has to keep these "materials" at home.

After all, you can't use lotus root every time - although he really wanted to try it, Eileen might go crazy.

Clay molding is the only alchemical experiment that has been successfully "operated" in my lifetime.

He mixed the blood in the cup directly into the clay, kneaded it evenly, and then added "auxiliary materials" such as tea powder and rose oil according to the proportions taught by Eileen. After careful preparation, he began to seriously The earth molded the lump of clay into the shape of an arm.

Anyway, it was just a matter of doing it once, just as a way to practice the "craft" of making puppets, so as not to complain about the ugliness of the things I made every time Irene recalled the process of "reshaping".

With this thought in his mind, Yu Sheng completed the shaping of the arm with great patience and meticulousness. He also used a scraper and a stick needle to create a small palm at the end of the clay ball. After working hard, he found... Very ugly.

But at least it's better than last time. There are indeed five good fingers.

He never dared to mention to Irene that the body he squeezed for her for the first time was actually two six-finger fingers. Anyway, after the doll completed its self-reshaping, it returned to normal, and she didn't notice it herself.

After doing all this, Yu Sheng placed the arm in the center of the alchemy array. While imagining the connection he had established with the arm through blood, he slowly moved his right hand, trying to make the arm on the table Move like yourself.

But it didn't move.

Yu Sheng frowned, poked the arm with a spatula, and found that there was really no reaction.

After that, I can only accept my fate and put it aside for the time being.

The faint morning light has begun to shine into the attic through the windows on the sloping roof, and the surrounding area is gradually getting brighter.

However, Yu Sheng was so immersed in what he was doing that he didn't even notice that the sky was getting brighter.

He released more blood and prepared more clay. Doing crafts is a very addictive thing.

Now that an arm has been made, it is better to make a complete body. I don’t think about whether alchemy can be achieved. I can also practice the art of pinching people. Just think of it as a spare body for Irene. She said it would take a few months for her to replace her new body, but this time would be good enough for her to practice.

Then give the little doll a small surprise.

Yu Sheng thought this in his heart, and his enthusiasm gradually increased. The continuous release of blood did not make him feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, he became more energetic. He made a new torso, arms and two legs, and then opened a pack of new ones. of clay and began to try to make the head of the doll.

He felt that he had made great progress, at least compared to last time, his body was now symmetrical, with sound limbs, arms and legs.

The head of the doll is more laborious to make than the body. Not only must the facial features be carved as delicately as possible, but the more complicated makeup process must also be considered. Yu Sheng doesn't know if he can handle it - it is the first time to create a body for Irene.

At that time, he skipped the "face makeup" step directly. The face was finally made by Irene herself, but this time he wanted to challenge a higher level of difficulty.

Anyway, when I bought Sticky Sticks last time, I also bought a set of small tools for applying makeup on dolls and figures, so it would be a waste if I don’t use them.

Yu Sheng is very dedicated to his work.

In fact, he was so immersed in it that he didn't even notice that the fingers of the arm he originally created were trembling slightly.

The chest of the doll's torso placed on the edge of the table was rising and falling slightly to a degree that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
