In the basement of the Linghuang Residence, Li Yuguo could no longer move. It was not because of the acupuncture, but because Li Yuguo saw the scene in the basement and he was speechless.
Human skin, three crumpled human skins were nailed to the wall, Li Hugo said: "This... what the hell is this..."
"You misunderstood. These three people are corpses. I bought the three corpses, peeled off their skins, and then tried to weave human skins into puppets, but I failed... Human skin is the same as the leather of other animals. After being peeled off, it will be dried quickly, even if it is wrapped on a puppet, it will be obvious." The Spirit Emperor said.
"So you asked me." Li Hugo said.
"Yes!" The Spiritual Emperor looked eager, and the previous humility was gone. He said, "We make a deal. You create a puppet above me, so I am not qualified to be your master, but you As long as you teach me how to make human skin, I will give you all my lifelong puppet research experience... "
As he spoke, the Spirit Emperor took out a thick notebook, which contained his lifelong notes, all about puppets.
Li Huguo was naturally very enthusiastic about this book. He said, "Senior, to be honest, this is not human skin."
Li Huguo didn't know how to explain it. After all, the technology in this world is still too primitive. You must know that silicone and silicone rubber are the same thing. They are not refined, but synthetic. They use raw rubber with different vinyl contents. It is made by mixing and adding fumed silica and various other additives.
He thought for a while and said directly: "This is the sap of a tree..."
He could only say this, otherwise what he said was too chemical, and the Spirit Emperor would not understand it at all. Li Yuguo said: "This thing is very magical. After the sap solidifies, it can solidify into something similar to the cortex, but its advantage is that it is similar to human skin." It’s almost the same, and it won’t decay over time and can probably last for hundreds of years.”
Hearing this, the Spiritual Emperor looked enthusiastic: "A hundred years?"
Li Yuguo sighed and said: "The forbidden puppet technique costs people's souls and bones... I know a little bit about it, but senior, is this really okay with you? That's your daughter, have you ever asked her Thoughts?"
"Because I love my daughter!" the Spiritual Emperor said, "I can't accept the two of them leaving me..."
Naturally, Li Huguo had nothing to say. He said, "I can give you the silicone, as long as you provide me with a portrait."
"Okay, okay, portrait, there is definitely a portrait!" As he said that, the Spirit Emperor immediately started to rummage through the cabinet, but at this moment, a rush of footsteps came in from a distance.
Li Yuguo looked up and saw that it was Ling'er, the daughter of the Ling Emperor, who was holding a torch!
Ling'er gritted her teeth and looked very sad. If she could cry, she might have burst into tears, but she is a puppet, and a puppet cannot cry: "Dad, stop it!"
As soon as these words came out, Linghuang was shocked. He slowly turned around and looked at Ling'er: "Daughter! Daughter, you came just in time, daughter! Daughter, come here, I tell you, your brother Hugo brought me Here comes the recipe for human skin, you don’t need real human skin, you just need to use the sap of a certain tree to make a skin bag that won’t rot, and you can be reborn!”
"father!"
Ling'er's voice was very loud, and she knelt on the ground with a plop, "Please wake up, I'm already dead... So what if you give me a new skin? I'm already dead, I can't eat, I can't I can't drink water, smell the fragrance of flowers, or feel the things around me with my hands... I'm just a walking zombie. If it weren't for the Yuan Dan in my body, I... I would be gone long ago, please... Dad, we have always been If you are doing something wrong, let it go..."
As soon as these words came out, the great master, the Spiritual Emperor, immediately stood on the spot, clenching his fists and saying nothing.
Ling'er said again: "Dad, I know, I know you love me very much, and I also know what happened back then, which made you blame yourself for me, but everything has passed, and now I see you alive every day. It's so painful, I, I'm really sad... I don't even have the right to shed tears, so what's the point of living in this world... "
"Shut up!" The Spirit Emperor suddenly raised his head, his expression sad and his eyes widened, "I have lost everything... I can't lose you! If you are not in this world, I... What's the point of my life? As long as I use the puppet technique If you study it thoroughly, you will be able to create a puppet that can replace your body in one fell swoop, allowing you to eat, drink, and do everything a normal person can do!"
"Please, Dad! I can see how painful your life is... But you have to replace me with a new body every year, and every time my soul will suffer great pain. Of course... I am not afraid of pain, I don’t want to see you make the same mistake again and again. How many people have you killed in order to create a taboo puppet like me?”
"Those are some dying people, some homeless beggars! Instead of starving to death, they would rather give their lives for your new life!" The Spirit Emperor was very excited, his eyes were blood red.
Li Yuguo listened carefully and found out that the method of making taboo puppets is to sacrifice living people and then call the souls of the deceased from hell. This is a very inhumane act and basically means killing.
However, the appearance of the Spirit Emperor left him speechless. When a person loves another person to the extreme, any morality or bottom line is not worth mentioning.
Li Huguo said with difficulty: "Indeed, the loss of the soul by constantly extracting and placing the soul is very huge. If one day, you make a mistake in control, your daughter's soul will be wiped out... Everything is gone, can you really bear it?"
"I won't, I will never kill my daughter!" the Spirit Emperor said paranoidly.
Li Huguo looked at the parts around him and said, "As a father, you... let your daughter go..."
As soon as these words came out, the Spirit Emperor's body trembled, his lips trembled, and his face turned pale. Li Yuguo said again: "I heard that the Spirit Emperor has been studying the matter of puppet prosthetics before. For example, if a person breaks an arm, , you install it with a puppet prosthesis to replace the lost arm, this is what you should do."
"Yes! Brother Hugo is right, Dad! In the past, you used puppetry to benefit everyone. I don't know how many people you helped on the verge of collapse, and you didn't know how many people you saved who were on the verge of death. At that time, I am really proud of you, but because of my death, you tortured yourself into this state... I really feel bad for you, when... if I had my heart..." As he said that, Ling'er opened his chest, then It is a metal plate like a fuel tank partition. After opening it, there is a Yuan Dan inside. The Yuan Dan has dimmed. It is conceivable that there is not much power left in it.
This is a forbidden puppet, a forbidden Yuandan puppet.
"Are you really in pain?" The Spirit Emperor spoke slowly.
Ling'er nodded: "I hope dad can accept the reality... The dad in my heart is a good man who is upright and a hero who brings benefit to all sides... I really don't hope, not at all, that my dad will become like this. …”
"Hahaha..." The Spiritual Emperor laughed innocently, crying at the same time.
Ling'er walked towards Li Hugo and said, "Brother Hugo, thank you... If it weren't for your words, if it weren't for your arrival, maybe I would never have the courage to say these words... This paragraph Although it seems that I am alive, these days are actually more painful for me to live than to be dead... "
"Ling'er, are you going to..." Li Yuguo turned his head, not daring to look at Ling'er's empty eyes.
After all, the dead soul has to go where it should go, instead of staying in the world of the living. Such a stay will only bring infinite sorrow to the living...
Emperor Ling murmured: "Ling'er, Ling'er! My daughter..."
"Dad, cheer up, I will always be by your side..." Ling'er leaned on Linghuang's body, closed her eyes, and placed her hand on the Yuan Dan on her chest.
Bo…
Yuan Dan was taken out and rolled to the ground...
