The sun has risen, and the morning sunlight has completely dispelled the darkness in the attic. What can be faintly heard outside the window is the increasing number of people and cars on the street, and unknown birds chirping on nearby rooftops. There was a chirping sound.

But none of this interrupted Yu Sheng's concentration.

He was holding a doll head that was almost finished shaping - it was still a ball of hard clay - and was carefully using a needle to press out the outline of the eyes and nose bridge on its surface. He spent a long time To complete this step, I even reworked it several times, and finally reached a relatively satisfactory level before the clay completely hardened to the point of being unsuitable for operation.

In fact, it is still not perfect, and it is definitely incomparable with the models made by real professionals, but Yu Sheng feels that at least the little head in front of him will not be described as extremely ugly by Irene, at least... Shouldn’t the little doll cry when it gets in?

With a slightly smug smile on his face, he looked up at the candles on the table and found that most of them had been burned out.

It seems that the "facial makeup" step is destined not to be completed before the candles burn out. Being able to complete the body parts of the doll is already good for him now.

However, Yu Sheng was not too disappointed. After all, in addition to doing experiments, he was doing this just for practice. It would be good to familiarize himself with the whole process a few times before giving Erin the next formal body treatment. There is no need to put on makeup. The doll itself doesn't really care.

After all, Irene herself can "grow" her face into a beautiful look.

Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, took the torso of the puppet he had just made, and prepared to place it on the focus of the alchemy array in the center of the table - since it was a practice process, he had to make a complete set, even if Irene was not here now , he also wanted to complete the sense of ritual.

But after placing the torso in the center of the table, he couldn't help but frown.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he actually felt that the lump of clay had a slightly... strange "elasticity" and a slight heat.

But when Yu Sheng observed it carefully and reached out to touch it, the strange feeling disappeared again, and it turned into an ordinary clay creation again, and the surface was already slightly dry.

Is it because I slept too little at night that I became trance-like?

This idea came to Yu Sheng's mind, but he did not simply dispel the doubt. Instead, he connected the other parts of the doll to the torso with a small amount of clay mixed with softener and water, while carefully observing the shape of the "body" change.

He quickly completed the assembly process. A rough doll body lay quietly in the center of the "alchemy array" composed of concentric circles and connected lines, with candles burning quietly around it. Except for the lack of the "soul source" In addition to Irene's oil paintings, this ritual of shaping the doll is complete.

Yu Sheng stared closely at the body in front of him. At a certain moment, he felt as if his eyesight was dazzled.

Then, he saw the body's chest begin to rise and fall slightly.

It's very weak, but it's really undulating, as if a small life is sleeping in that lump of clay, not yet awake, but already "existing".

Yu Sheng's eyes widened for a moment. After a second or two of sluggishness, he finally realized what had happened. He immediately stepped forward and gently touched the "breathing" puppet body with his hand: "Wake up." , wake up...are you really alive?"

However, the doll's body did not respond to him as he expected. Although the rise and fall of its chest had become completely obvious and stabilized, its entire "activation" process seemed to have ended here, without any further signs of awakening. .

It's like it's just an empty shell, waiting for something to fill it.

Yu Sheng took a gentle breath, then shook his head vigorously, turned and shouted towards the stairs leading downstairs: "Irene! Irene, are you awake? Come up and see what I did. ..."

Yu Sheng suddenly stopped in the middle of shouting because he saw movement on the table out of the corner of his eye. The moment he shouted the name "Irene", the body of the doll suddenly changed. , as if it had completed the most critical step of the ritual, the body tightened suddenly, and then a layer of skin color representing vitality and activity appeared on the limbs. It began to grow hair crazily, and its facial features quickly became... Vivid three-dimensional and vivid colors appeared, followed by the familiar black dress. In just a few seconds, "Irene" was lying in front of Yu Sheng and slowly opened her eyes.

Yu Sheng stared at this scene dumbfounded. Then, when he saw "Irene" who was just a ball of clay a moment ago, he suddenly woke up from his initial stupor. The little doll "Teng" sat down immediately. He got up and turned to look at Yu Sheng: "What's your name? I was sleeping when you..."

She suddenly stopped again, as if she noticed something was wrong. This "new body" turned its neck stiffly and looked around in a strange manner.

"Hey, wait, where did this come from? I'm not in the bedroom... Wait, no, this body... doesn't feel anything. I'm... dizzy..."

The little puppet said in a daze and a little panic, and subconsciously wanted to stand up from the table and walk towards Yu Sheng, but as soon as he stood up, the world seemed to be spinning, and his body swayed twice before slowly falling down from the edge of the table: "Hey - keep it up I can't help but lose my balance! There is a double image in front of my eyes! I now have two fields of vision... pull me, pull me..."

Before she could finish her words, Yu Sheng had already reacted, and quickly stepped forward to catch the doll lady who was falling from the table. Then, before she could relax, she heard a "bang" coming from downstairs.

Two exclamations from Irene reached Yusheng's ears at the same time: "Oh my God -"

A clear and loud sound came from the puppet body in front of me, and a distant and vague sound came from downstairs.

"Yu Sheng, what happened to Yu Sheng? Why do I have two visions now? Am I in two places? No, no, why..." Yu Sheng heard the puppet in his hand say in a panic, "Why do I Now there are two bodies?!"

The situation was completely beyond Yu Sheng's expectation, but at this time he also realized what had happened. After forcibly shaking off the disbelief in his heart, he quickly ran to the stairs with the "New Irene" in his arms, thumping to the ground. He reached the second floor and ran back to his bedroom. The little doll in his arms held his arm tightly, as if he was afraid of falling.

As soon as he opened the door, Yu Sheng saw Irene, who was barely balancing on the bedside table, and the latter raised her head almost at the same time.

The doll in his arms and the doll standing on the floor holding the bedside table looked at each other.

"..Wow!" The two mouths said in unison. "I have two bodies!" Still in unison.

Yu Sheng's head was getting big at this time. He looked at the two identical dolls in surprise and he held it in for a long time before he said: "Irene? Are they really both you?"

"Yes." The two dolls nodded at the same time.

"No, I mean, are you the only one with a consciousness?" Yu Sheng thought this was ambiguous, and quickly added, "One consciousness in two bodies? Or are there two Irenes?"

"One," the two dolls spoke at the same time again, but this time Irene reacted quickly. The one in Yu Sheng's arms suddenly closed his mouth, and the one standing on the ground opposite raised his finger and pointed at himself, "It's just me. One, just...suddenly has an extra body."

As she spoke, she tried to loosen her hand holding the bedside table, and stood unsteadily on the spot for a few seconds, covering her head: "Hey, Mom, I finally stood firm... I was so dizzy just now that I almost vomited on you. You know, I didn’t react at first, I just felt like I woke up in the attic, and then I opened my eyes on the bed, and two fields of vision and two sets of perceptions came to me at once. As soon as I got up, I felt I fell from the table and the bed, but luckily you caught one of them..."

As soon as Irene stood firm, she started talking. Halfway through, she seemed to remember something again, and looked up at Yu Sheng: "Wait a minute, Yu Sheng, why are there two bodies coming out? And... I also appeared at the same time. Get stuck in these two bodies?"

Yu Sheng's face tensed up all of a sudden, and an unspeakable embarrassment flowed from Tianling Gai straight to the soles of his feet. When he rushed down, he didn't even have time to think about how to explain this magical phenomenon to the puppet. At this time, he was holding back After a long while, he finally said: "...I'm going to tell you that the damp in our attic has caused dolls to grow. Do you believe it?"

Irene looked at Yu Sheng blankly: "...Yes, yes?" Yu Sheng: "..?"

How can this girl really believe it?!

As soon as the little doll's reaction came out, Yu Sheng was really embarrassed to have deceived him. He had no choice but to come to the bedside, first put the "Irene No. 2" he was holding on the bed, then tried hard to straighten his expression, and slowly Opening:

"It's like this. I couldn't sleep at night, so I suddenly got some scientific research spirit and went upstairs to do a small experiment..."

Yu Sheng told the "victim" in front of him the exact process of squeezing Irene's "spare body", and he didn't even forget to add what was going through his mind when he did these things.

The expression of the little doll changed from confusion, to surprise, then to confusion, and finally succeeded in turning into madness.

"Yu Sheng is my uncle!!"
