Or rather... ...mechanical life.
The reason why he could tell the other party's identity was because he had seen similar techniques from [Puppet] Sandoni and learned some knowledge from them.
The first lesson Sandoni taught him was how to identify whether a certain being was a puppet.
"You... can actually see through the essence of this body?"
After Bai Luo said the word "puppet", Nashita looked a little surprised.
When she "borrowed" this body, she met many people.
But except for the person who created this body, almost no one could notice anything unusual about her and they all thought she was a living human being.
"There are too many flaws. The person who made you must not be very wealthy, and the materials used are also... inferior. If my colleague saw it, she might get furious and destroy you."
Shaking his head slightly, Bai Luo explained.
Although the Mora spent on making this body can definitely be called a sky-high price, for Bai Luo, or Sandoni, even the skin made of the best material can be devalued by it.
Because the people who created Nashita were obviously only pursuing authenticity and ignored other aspects.
"Yes. As far as I know, the creator of this body spent almost all his resources to complete the assembly of the body. If I hadn't secretly helped him, he might have died in failure."
Nashita knew that telling such a thing to a stranger was not the right choice.
Because this technology can bring endless troubles to that person at any time.
At least that's the case in Xumi.
So when she was transforming the city, whether she was facing Cole or Tinari who was suspicious of her, she kept her mouth shut and concealed the true nature of this body.
But when facing this stranger, she subconsciously told him everything and almost said the man's name.
"Hearing you say that, I seem to know who created you."
After knowing Nashita's identity, Bai Luo gradually put away his vigilance and walked to her side.
Looking at Bai Luo approaching, Nashita did not step back or be alert, but slowly closed her eyes.
The closer I was to Bai Luo, the stronger the feeling of being illuminated by the sun became.
When Bai Luo stood beside her and reached out to touch her head, she even had an illusion.
She felt like she was sleeping on a quilt that had just been dried in the sun on a sunny afternoon.
The feeling of being exposed to the sun, coupled with the unique smell of the quilt that was fully exposed to ultraviolet rays, almost made her brain crash.
While Nashita was enjoying a brief moment of good times, Bai Luo was not idle either.
"Hmm... As expected, this hair was planted using the most basic technique."
Pulling aside Nashita's hair and looking at the tiny holes on the artificial scalp, Bai Luo nodded with satisfaction.
Although it's just the most basic technique, at least he has it implanted instead of using a wig to fool people.
This may be a lot of work, but it will make it look more realistic.
This shows that the other party is very dedicated.
"The temperature is also affected. Is it using elemental energy? The joints are pretty good too."
He held Nashita's little hand, tried to move it a bit, and pinched each of her joints.
Judging from the touch transmitted from the hand, the other party has restored every joint of the human body very carefully, but has not restored details such as ligaments and meridians.
That’s right, if even these need to be restored, it will cost a considerable amount of money.
Even Lord Diluk, who is as wealthy as a country, would probably hesitate after seeing this amount of money. It is not something that anyone can make casually.
"Is there saliva in your mouth? No, it doesn't look like saliva. Is it lubricant? Or something else?"
He pinched the other person's little mouth open, dipped his finger in some liquid, and put it to his nose to smell it.
Hmm... there is a light fragrance, but not much. It is definitely not saliva. It is more like some kind of resin
Originally, Bai Luo wanted to taste it, but looking at the confused little guy with his mouth pinched by him, he suddenly felt that if he really did this, maybe something would break through the dimensional wall and come to check his water meter.
Forget it.
Then, his gaze began to move downward.
"Hmm..."
Nashita seemed to realize something and immediately held up her skirt.
Curiosity, while rewarding, should not be limited to this area.
Even if this body is not hers, she will not let the other party do whatever he wants.
She also has a bottom line.
But Bai Luo didn't even look at her skirt. Instead, he reached out and pressed her abdomen.
"Well, it seems that the core is here. No wonder there is no esophagus in the throat. It should not have the function of eating... Hmm? Why are you pressing the skirt?"
Chapter 824 The tomboy has grown into a big girl
"... ..."
Bai Luo's response was a long silence.
Bai Luo didn't think too much about it. After checking Nashita's physical condition, he looked in the direction she flew from.
"You were with Cole just now, right?"
"Kole? Are you the elder she was talking about?"
Nashita has a strong thinking ability. Based on the warm aura on Bai Luo, which is even stronger than that on Kelai, and the fact that Bai Luo called out Kelai's name, she immediately determined Bai Luo's identity.
In fact, she herself didn't realize it. After meeting Bai Luo, she had been subconsciously believing in him.
I never thought about whether the other party would harm me.
"Elder? You can say that. I have to go to Inazuma in the next few days. I don't know when I will be back. I just found her in Daochenglin, so I thought of coming to see her."
Bai Luo didn't expect that he would become an elder in Ke Lai's mouth.
"She is now a forest ranger, responsible for recording and organizing the distribution of dead areas, and then handing them over to the forest ranger of Huachengguo for processing. But she decided to deal with the dead areas she found herself, so I took the risk of appearing near her, intending to stop her."
Nashita can appear in Xumi City or in Huachengguo. As an ordinary little girl, it is not too outrageous for her to appear in these two places.
But if it appeared in Daochenglin... ...it would be hard to explain.
Even if Cole didn't suspect her, if she went back and told Tinari, the latter would be suspicious of her.
Recently, this sharp ranger has begun to gather intelligence about her in Xumi City.
But she couldn't just watch Cole walk into the dead zone, as that would be an extremely dangerous behavior for her.
"The child has always been in poor health."
The demon residue did help neutralize the symptoms of the demon scale disease and even delayed her condition, but the epidemic caused by the combination of the two was equally terrifying.
But at least there is no danger to life.
"Come with me, I'll take you to see her."
For most people, trusting Bai Luo is nothing but asking for trouble.
But Nashita gave all her trust without reservation.
It was not just that Bai Luo said Cole's name, the warm feeling from him, like the sun, was almost exactly the same feeling that Cole gave her.
The difference is that compared to Bai Luo, the warmth on Cole is a little weaker.
It's like the difference between the sun and a campfire.
Bai Luo's smile can deceive people, his words can deceive people, and his voice can deceive people.
But the feeling he gave Nashita could not be deceived.
“This is it.”
As they approached the temporary camp, Nashita's pace gradually quickened. She quickly picked up the firewood that Cole had already chopped and added it to the fire in a somewhat clumsy manner.
Judging from her movements, she should know how to make the fire burn more vigorously, but her movements did not seem very skillful.
It's like knowing the theory but never really putting it into practice.
However, Bai Luo's attention was soon attracted to the person sleeping in the corner.
"Cole?"
If the mark he left on her was not still there, Bai Luo would not even dare to believe that this grown-up girl was the little girl he had sent away.
It is said that girls change a lot when they grow up, but she is not even eighteen yet, but she has changed so much.
She was lying on her side on the vines, sleeping soundly. Her peaceful face no longer had the hatred and stubbornness she once had. Even her hair, which she had kept short for survival, had begun to take shape.
She was dressed in formal attire, which formed a sharp contrast with the disheveled tomboy she once was.
However, when his eyes fell on Cole's hand, his expression changed slightly.
He grabbed Cole's hand and rolled up his sleeve.
This gray-black scaly tissue with an ominous aura was exposed to his field of vision.
Demonic scale disease.
When she left Mondstadt, she had clearly no longer had these symptoms. Why did she have them again now
"Perhaps it's because of the Eye of God that this child is in a better condition than ordinary patients, but not much better. If it's other things, I can help, but this one... Even I can't do anything."
Coming to Bai Luo's side, Nashita pinched her own hands a little uneasily.
Obviously, none of this was her fault, but she felt a little ashamed when she said this.
“It’s not your fault.”
He glanced meaningfully at Nashita beside him.
It was just a simple sentence, but Bai Luo heard something else.
For example... ... Even these four words "I" contain incredible information.
"Do you need me to wake her up?"
Nashita did not notice Bai Luo's eyes. She imitated him, squatted obediently beside Cole, and asked.
The fact that Cole fell asleep before was naturally related to her.
She just didn't want her secret to be discovered, so she let him fall asleep on purpose.
"... ... No."
His lips moved slightly, and Bai Luo finally shook his head.
In fact, he also wanted to talk to Ke Lai, such as asking about her recent situation, whether anyone bullied her in Xumi, whether she needed help, etc.
but
Compared with these, he was more worried about Cole's physical condition.
He first touched the vines under Cole's body with his hand, and after making sure there were no barbs or the like, Bai Luo searched in his arms.
“It smells so good.”
When Nacita, who was squatting next to her, smelled the fragrance, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Even though her current body was not capable of eating, the fruit that Bai Luo took out actually made her want to eat it.
He picked out a plump and sweet fruit from his pocket, took out a dagger and cut it open. Bai Luo pinched Kelai's chin and stuffed some of the fruit flesh into her mouth.
Bai Luo still has some idea about his own fruits.
This thing can be a dangerous substance that can poison people, or it can be a panacea for all diseases.
Even the karma that Emperor Rock King was helpless against would retreat under the effect of the fruit.
So after noticing that Cole's demonic scale disease had recurred, he decided to give it a try.
The reason why Nashita was not allowed to wake Cole up was that he did not want her to try the sour taste that could cleanse the soul when she was awake.
He had eaten his own fruit and knew how sour it tasted.
Even though this feeling will not last long, the person who eats the fruit will soon lose consciousness completely.
