Puppet

Vera's eyelashes fluttered; despite her inner turmoil and continued warnings that it was a Scam, a strange hope began to creep into her heart.

Klein thoughtfully handed him a Mirror —not of Arrodes, of course; it was one he had just taken from the Historical Projection.

Vera took the Mirror, gazing at it with a complex mix of disbelief and eerie anticipation. The Mirror Mirror a face; frankly, in terms of features alone, it wasn't much different from her past self, except that her jawline was softer, her nose smaller and more defined, and her eyes slightly larger...

These changes weren't enough to completely transform her appearance, but they did make her facial features more harmonious, allowing her to fall into the realm of ordinary looks, and perhaps even appear cute to some.

... That's wonderful.

Vera blinked, looking at Merlin Hermes's unremarkable face, and her eyes suddenly felt a little Sourness.

She didn't cry, but stared at Merlin Hermes's unremarkable features with a fascination, and whispered:

"I'm so moved, sir. You are a truly great person. This is a great invention; it will benefit many people..."

"You have three chances to make a wish," Merlin Hermes said. "If you have any further wishes, you can try making them yourself, but I won't be providing any more coins."

"Of course!" Vera's eyes sparkled, bringing her transformed face to life. "However, I haven't decided on my next wish yet. Can we postpone it?"

"Then you'd better be careful," Merlin Hermes said, shaking his head slightly. "After all, this is a magical Robot. Perhaps it will leave tomorrow, or perhaps it will return someday."

This was actually a story Klein deliberately chose to speed up the process of making wishes. Before his time travel, he had surfed the internet and read adaptations of mythology, one of which was a story where the protagonist, after finding Aladdin's Lamp, refused to make a third wish, effectively trapping the Genie to death.

Even excluding such a dangerous situation, the other party might wait in one place for a month, two months, or three months before making another wish.

Klein couldn't wait in one place for that long. Admittedly, he could continue recruiting new users during that time, without being tied to one person, but extraordinary events would unfold, and he couldn't remain in one city indefinitely.

After all, while the higher-ups might guess he was impersonating the "Miracle Invoker," the investigations and searches that ordinary "Nighthawks" would conduct would not be spared.

After he said that, Vera was no longer as excited as before. She lowered her head and pondered for about ten minutes before raising her head and exclaiming joyfully:

"I've got my wish!"

The sound abruptly stopped. Vera looked at the spot where Merlin Hermes had stood; it was empty, with no one there, except for the "Fully Automatic Wish Machine," which remained motionless.

After hesitating for only a few seconds, Vera took out a coin, carefully reinserted it, and pulled the lever.

"I hope to get a better position," she said this time.

Clearly different from the previous wish, this wasn't a wish that would immediately take effect just by standing there. Vera opened her eyes, looked at the "Fully Automatic Wish Machine," and slightly frowned.

She had already made two wishes, but there was one last wish that she couldn't think of in a short time, so she left reluctantly.

"Why did you stop?" Neph looked up at him. "What about her third wish?"

"Hmm..." Klein smiled slightly. "All I can say is that I hope she likes what she got."

Neph stared at him suspiciously. Klein shrugged and continued:

"Her second wish was also easily fulfilled, because her teaching abilities met the requirements. It's just that previously, promotion opportunities always went to others first. I simply gave her a bit of luck, making the assessment come sooner."

But the third wish...

"After achieving success in her career, she asked me for a perfect marriage."

>p/<. Funa blinked her eyes. "Ah?"

>p/<". She wanted to describe in detail enough, because that's why she could -- but in reality... there are a few things that need to be combined, but it's still a single, normal description. She's not limited by many words, is she? You've found out, but in short... I won't say one thing, I haven't said much more about the details -- as well as her own excellent abilities, her appearance perfectly matches the aesthetic, her gentle and considerate personality, and she hopes to have a noble family background," Enlake continued, "She is very cautious."

>p/<: He continued, shaking his head Enlake

>p/<. The person she described really exists, and we must first ensure that this is true, because it is very difficult, but in fact, we cannot satisfy her demands.

>p/<". I thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a beautiful picture of myself in my imagination, as if I were her.

>p/<"? When you go to yourself," Zizhu's eyes rolled, Funa "? What can be done?"

>p/<"What do you love so much? Lim Ai will remember to pay it back to you." Enlek rolled his eyes. "Except for this..."

>p/<. The girl's appearance and shape of the doll were not what he liked, but the beauty of the doll and the girl's beauty made him happy. "Tiffany's spirit was stirred." "I know this."

>p/<. What did you do? I guess you should have done that? Enlake laughed out loud. Chu Qing really needs to understand.

>p/<"? There's a bit of force involved, isn't there? It's a gentle, warm, and affectionate way of saying that a doll's movements wouldn't be like this, right? That's not right, but the foolish one," Funa gently tilted her head. "I gave you a doll."

>p/<. The puppet's life was given to me by her, so,"Enlake nodded, "Hmm."

>p/<. The allure of love, the full bloom of Rufna"?...

>p/<: The interpretation of the Daoist text is carefully considered by Enlake.

Please let Limère convey my message to the Former Chief.

He learned the name of Master in the field of Puppet making and found him.

"After paying a sufficient amount of money, the other party agreed to customize such a special Puppet for me... I must say, the expression on his face when he looked at me was very strange, as if he thought I had some unusual hobby."

"In short, this is a masterpiece by a renowned author, so it should be considered a product of a privileged background. As for the appearance issue, I used Miss ' Justice's ' abilities to find out, and even provided the author with illustrations."

"As for how to Puppet to life, that's too simple. You know, the ' Planter ' Pathway always has some unexpected abilities, such as bringing inanimate objects to life..."

"... I think I understand now," Neph said, raising a hand to her forehead, "You controlled the activated personality through the power of the ' Spectator ' Pathway?"

"Yes," Klein nodded, "And then there's the matter of ability. She wants a lover who is knowledgeable and highly capable in practice. If you ask me, that's actually the biggest problem I face."

Neph raised an eyebrow, about to say something, when a sense of unease suddenly crept into her mind. "You didn't use my abilities to collect memories, did you?"

"I was planning to do that," Klein quite honestly, "But my Spirituality intuition stopped me. I had a feeling that doing it would lead to something bad—though I didn't quite understand why."

"Because your ' Sefirah Castle ' isn't a storage space!" Neph screamed. "The memories you collect will truly all stay in your mind, and they'll all be from a first-person perspective—and you happen to possess the most common Pathway to personality splitting!"

Klein said, somewhat surprised and somewhat enlightened, "So, when you collect other people's memories, you don't..."

"It's not that we can't," Neph pinched her brow. "Starting from Sequence 5, we can collect and organize memories, which dilutes this effect. Because for us, we always have a 'self' based on our deepest memories. Then, using this 'self' as the core, we reclaim memories of the same origin. The remaining memories are merely 'collections,' not recognized as our own. Although we'll still be impacted when a large influx of memories suddenly arrives, as long as the 'self' exists and is strong enough, we can always find ourselves."

She then turned to Klein and warned him:

"But even if you use the ' Staff of Stars ' or something else to simulate the corresponding ability, it lacks this mechanism. If you don't control it properly when using it, it's extremely dangerous!"

"And, like I said, you're already on the Pathway most prone to personality splitting..."

"Frankly, I think the ' Marauder ' Pathway is more prone to personality splits," Klein joked. "After all, I can't imagine my own Marionette holding a vote."

He shook his head slightly with a smile, then continued:

"Alright, Miss ' Pure White,' could you do me a favor? Infuse that Puppet with the necessary knowledge and skills... Hmm, perhaps I could also consider the power of the ' Reader ' and ' Savant ' Pathway?"

"Hmm..." Neph stroked her chin, "Do you get paid?"

Klein was taken aback by the request. He looked at Neph in surprise, Neph shrugged and said:

"You've already paid the Master who made the Puppet, you can't be biased!"

"Very good," Klein rolled his eyes, "I'm sure you're back to where you started."

But he eventually relented on the price; after all, for them at the moment, a large sum of money was practically meaningless unless Klein became interested in custom Puppet and decided to order several—when Neph raised this possibility with skepticism, Klein readily agreed to her offer.

After agreeing on the price, Neph leaned forward and whispered to Klein:

"I've discovered something."

"What?" Klein frowned.

"When you're out there acting, keep an eye out for organizations in the city that focus on mediating conflicts," Neph said with a strange expression. "When I gave the Church of Evernight information about that organization, they told me that in their data, there are actually quite a few organizations like this that primarily aim to mediate conflicts. They've spread to many cities, and the local Church welcome them because it greatly reduces the workload of the pastors, and..."

Neph raised her eyes, her expression grave, and spoke:

>p/<. The development of the organization is self-organized, and the separation is followed by the birth of the organization, which brings ideas to the city and brings corresponding ideas to people. These are all ordinary people who are actually members of the organization.

Chapters are missing

>p/<... Suddenly, that person who started it all came back and forth. We were all very worried. In this kind of situation, I think I understand very well."

>p/<. Low-level propaganda is much more difficult to spread than ordinary people, and he is a believer in the military preparedness program. He has been accepted and joined the "reconciliation" team at that time.

"... What kind of ordinary people do these things? It's not like they're all good, I'll still teach you no matter what, but..."

>p/<"? Who left behind that single-page document? Since there are no true benefactors among those organizations, Enlake's expression hardened. "I have a question."

>p/<. "I wanted to spread the word about the city, but I left the place where they started. After I went to investigate that organization, I found out," Funa shrugged. "It's just a coincidence that this is the most unexpected place."

>p/<: Dao Cheek looked at Tofna, then paused for a moment, Enlake

>p/<. The words of the spirits and gods they worship, or the promises they make, are used to describe how I feel this way.

>p/<". Wonderful old fate, even if we reach this level, then"

>p/<"...'Homemade' coincidences are shaped by good words, like saying, it is seeking the truth Enlake", the end of being a person is my belief and willingness more "I"

>p/<. I realized that He was only moving towards me, and He could not interfere with my destiny. In short, I don't know who pointed it out to—but He is still capable of this kind of tyranny. In fact, this is an insurmountable barrier within me, except for the power of this force," said Funai with a smile, her eyes lowered, leaning back in her chair. "There is no one else who can understand my situation, except for me, who does not believe in the Lord."

They continued without

Continuing the discussion on this topic only served to complete the final stage of the Puppet's creation in a somewhat somber atmosphere. Once the Puppet had truly become a perfect lover, Klein turned to Neph and asked with a smile:

"Are you going to give him a name?"

Neph raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over Klein before settling on the Puppet, a wicked smile playing on her lips.

"Sa Jess."

Klein glanced at Neph, then asked hesitantly, "Why does this pronunciation sound familiar...?"

>p/<. "Your Majesty, as a general translator, is addressed as the sovereign of the country, and the meaning is like the solemnity and dignity of the people." "Fennen spread her hands," "Perhaps you can find some of the phonetic transcriptions or grammatical structures in this work."

>p/<"? The name is the same as this, what would you do for me?" A twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Enlake, the puppet-like figure... "Your Majesty."

>p/<". The person you love is going to your own family, you are also considered, rounding down... King's clothes yellow to think of the association is always me", said Funa", you asked that name"
