Erin's expression looked quite sad.

Yu Sheng glanced at the "masterpiece" that he had spent several hours making, and then thought about it in his shoes. He felt that if one day his soul left his body and had to crawl into a body like this and be resurrected, he would probably be able to cry.

come out……

However, Irene's reaction still made Yu Sheng a little hurt. He endured the embarrassment and looked at the puppet in the oil painting with a tense expression, trying hard to look serious: "I have worked very hard, you see,

At least the left and right eyes are symmetrical..."

Erin really cried now: "But the head is not symmetrical..."

Yu Sheng turned away and said, "Well...it's true that I'm a little unskilled. I'll do it better next time. Practice makes perfect, practice makes perfect..."

"It's better not to have a next time," Eileen waved her hands helplessly, and then she probably felt that today was the day when she finally got out of trouble, so she should be happy, so she tried to pull up the corners of her mouth to show a smile - but

The attempt failed, so thousands of words finally merged into a sigh, "Hey, it is a body after all. I can really feel that the connection has been established, okay, that's it."

She took a deep breath, jumped down from the chair in the painting, and took two steps forward. Then she seemed to remember something and looked down at the stuffed teddy bear in her hand.

After standing in silence for a few seconds, she hugged the little bear hard, turned around and put it on the chair, as if to say goodbye.

Yu Sheng was a little curious: "You don't want the bear anymore?"

"It can't be brought out. It...is another individual sealed in this painting. Even its consciousness has long since disappeared. I don't even know where it came from." Irene shook her head gently and stretched out her hand.

He patted the teddy bear on the head and said, "I can only keep it here, but I won't throw away this painting, which means I keep it with me."

"oh."

Yu Sheng nodded, and then followed Irene's next move with a hint of nervousness and curiosity.

He was very concerned about how the doll would eventually "come out" of the oil painting, and how she would "come alive" using the now ugly-looking "doll body" on the table as a container.

Then, he saw Irene in the oil painting begin to... "dissolve"!

This scene was strange and horrifying. Erin seemed to suddenly turn into a wax figure that was being burned by flames. Her whole body gradually melted, and almost lost all the colors and details in the blink of an eye. In just a few seconds,

Inside, she turned into a dark substance that was constantly softening, collapsed in the frame, and gradually overflowed from the lower edge of the frame and began to flow toward the table!

The tabletop made a slight hissing sound, as if it was rapidly corroding in some kind of strong acid. The dark substance flowing out of the picture frame looked like thick mud at first, then became as thin as water, and in the next second, it became thin again.

It turned into some kind of... black mist that never dispersed, began to float around the body of the doll on the table, and seeped into the lifeless clay bit by bit.

Yu Sheng stared at this scene with wide eyes. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt a kind of... coldness from the strange floating black mist.

If he hadn't seen with his own eyes that this mist was transformed from Irene, he would definitely have felt that this thing was strange and dangerous, and the whole scene had a very evil style. But even if he knew, he still felt that this black mist

It was extremely strange. The lingering coldness was like the malice seeping into the world from a distant dark abyss. It really didn't match Erin's usual heartless and harmless appearance.

Yu Sheng shook his head and put aside the miscellaneous thoughts. Looking at the black mist that was accelerating into the clay, he suddenly came up with some outrageous thoughts——

What would happen if you blew into the fog at this time? Or what would happen if you stretched out your hand and poked it into the fog?

Eileen should be scolded harshly...

Yu Sheng finally controlled the urge to move his hands, and at this moment, the penetration of the mist quickly came to an end.

The puppet on the table began to change visibly with the naked eye - the clay figure, which was so rough that it could be described as ugly, seemed to have suddenly been given the characteristics of a living creature. The rough surface became smooth in the blink of an eye, and the originally crooked limbs also changed.

Quickly balanced and reorganized, it began to stain the texture and color of the skin. The distorted facial features were integrated into the skull, regenerated within the clay mass, and gradually emerged on the face...

Yu Sheng thought about it and felt that out of courtesy and respect, he should turn his back.

But before he could turn around, he saw that an exquisite black dress had "grown" out of the doll's body like a part of flesh and blood, covering the surface of Irene's body.

Mimicry?

This word emerged subconsciously in Yu Sheng's mind, and at this moment, he suddenly felt some kind of... connection between himself and Irene.

That feeling was fleeting, and he didn't even have time to tell whether the sleepy whisper was Irene's voice, and the connection fell into silence.

Yu Sheng frowned, remembering the blood he had added to the clay when he was shaping the doll's body, and felt that the connection at this moment might be related to that.

He was suddenly worried: his blood seemed to be a little special, would this affect Irene's "regeneration"?

But soon, his worries were dispelled.

The completely reshaped doll lies quietly on the table. Its skin is like a human's, its hair is like ink, and its delicate face is like a work of art.

Under Yu Sheng's nervous gaze, the doll's eyelashes suddenly twitched slightly.

Then, those eyes finally opened slowly.

Her scarlet eyes stared blankly at the roof, but they regained their luster in the next second. Irene raised her hands awkwardly and looked at them with an incredulous look. She slowly held her hands again.

Stretch, as if feeling the texture of the air.

After being stunned for several seconds, the doll slowly smiled, but the smile seemed to be suppressing strong emotions that were about to cry.

Yu Sheng's voice sounded from the side: "Congratulations, Irene."

"Well," Irene stretched out her hand and pressed down on the table, pushed herself up, and stood up unsteadily on the table. Then she looked at Yu Sheng standing aside with a bright smile, and she opened her arms widely.

, as if to send a hug, "I'm alive! Yu Sheng! Thank you..."

Miss Doll suddenly stopped, as if she had discovered something belatedly, she kept opening her arms like this and stared blankly at Yu Sheng beside the table.

Yu Sheng: "...?"

Erin slowly raised her head: "Why do you look...so tall?"

Yu Sheng thought for a while: "Is it because you are shorter?"

Irene was stunned for a moment, suddenly looked down at her body, and then looked up at the table lamp not far away - she suddenly took a breath of cold air, ran over, stretched out her hand and

He made a height gesture between his head and the desk lamp, and then turned his neck stiffly.

Yu Sheng began to feel that something was wrong.

"Why..." Irene's eyes were dull and she muttered to herself, "Why are you so short..."

"Um...the size of the doll, it's a large one." Yu Sheng was actually starting to panic at this time, but his face was still tense, "I mean the three-point doll...wait, I got it wrong.

Already?!"

"...Three points for you, sir! People, standard-sized people! Living dolls are the same as humans! I'm 1.67 meters tall!" Irene, a small doll that was only as tall as a desk lamp, jumped on the table and yelled,

"My long legs! Huh? Huh?! Why am I as tall as this desk lamp now! I...I can't even reach the chair next to me!"

Yu Sheng was completely stunned, but then he felt something was wrong: "That's not right, you were watching when I pinched the body just now. You can see the size yourself, why didn't you tell me then?

"

The little doll that was jumping up and down on the table was stunned when he heard this, and seemed to react belatedly again: "Hey, that's right, I saw it..."

She ran to the middle of the concentric circles where she had just made the doll's body, and looked back at the oil painting where she had been living before. She thought hard in her head, and some vague memories emerged from her heart.

"Yes... yes, your operation is fine. The clay body is just a medium, used to temporarily accommodate the soul... Even if the size is a little off, my soul should be able to adjust when it reshapes the body...

…”

Eileen stood on the table and muttered to herself, lowering her head to think for a while and then looking up at the ritual arrangements around her. She pinched her current body from time to time and kept mumbling.

"Because the size is too different? So the adjustment is limited? That's not right... No matter how limited it is, there should be some changes... No matter what, it can't be only as high as a desk lamp..."

Erin stretched out her hand and gestured to her head, then jumped twice vigorously on the spot, as if trying to make herself taller in this futile way.

Thinking about it, I know it was definitely not successful.

"So... something went wrong with the ceremony?" Yu Sheng looked on nervously, and finally asked carefully, "Did the adjustment of the body reshape properly? Then it shouldn't be my fault..."

Irene raised her head, and Yu Sheng was startled by the look of grief and anger on her face, as if she was about to cry.

"ruler."

The doll, which was only as tall as a desk lamp, stretched out its hand towards Yu Sheng, its voice gritting its teeth.

"what?"

"Measure your height!"

Yu Sheng said oh and hurriedly ran to the second floor to find a measuring tape.

In fact, he wanted to get a ruler at first - but he thought that Irene might fly up and bite someone when she saw the ruler, so he didn't dare.

After a while, Irene stood upright on the table with an old book on her head. Next to her, Yu Sheng opened a tape measure and measured the height of the little doll.

Irene secretly tilted the book a little, but Yu Sheng held her down.

"How...how high?" the little doll asked cautiously.

"...66.6 centimeters," Yu Sheng glanced at the ruler and said with sympathy in his tone, "I tried to calculate as high as possible, and I calculated 0.6 centimeters after the decimal point for you."
