In fact, Jenkins can't judge whether a doll is good-looking according to his own aesthetic standards, but it is never wrong to praise a female creature for its beauty. He has confirmed this point many times.
Sure enough, the puppets on the stage continued their "narcissism" after he finished singing. It spends five minutes praising its own beauty, and the lyrics use a large number of grammatically complex modifiers and metaphors, which is something that Jenkins can't do.
"But since I have participated in it, it will definitely have an impact... Where will the danger of this strange world come from?"
After narcissizing in the bedroom, the puppet sings and walks towards the door to the left of the stage background. After coming near the door, a new background oil painting fell from the sky with a swish sound, replacing the original background, so the puppet then turned and walked towards the center of the stage.
The second act begins, this time the background is the living room, not only the background oil painting has changed, even the background music behind the stage has disappeared.
In this way, the puppet came to the center of the stage in silence, and then a sofa and two brand new dolls sitting on the sofa descended onto the stage. Judging by the costumes, if the original puppet was a girl puppet, the new two are probably her parents.
"where are you going?"
asked the father puppet.
This is a narration, no music or tune, pure dialogue with a strong stage style.
"I'm going to get on with my show."
The girl puppet replied while holding up the hem of the skirt and twirling on the spot.
"Are you going to wear this dress?"
asked the mother doll, speaking in a very uncomfortable voice, like the other two.
"Yes, said Mr. Mirror, I am beautiful."
"Oh~"
The father puppet and the mother puppet sighed at the same time, and at the same time there was a rapid drumbeat sound from behind the stage. The lights on the stage were suddenly extinguished, and only two lights remained, one on the father puppet and one on the mother puppet:
"Mirror, how dare you say that!"
They looked at Jenkins in the audience at the same time. Jenkins didn't know why:
"Praise your daughter, do you still have any opinions?"
He squirmed uneasily on the seat, and when he saw the two puppets, he jumped off the stage. Two beams of lights from unknown sources descended from the sky and followed them closely.
One took the left aisle and the other took the right aisle. They approached the third row where Jenkins was located from two directions, and successfully blocked him in the center. Sharp knives appeared in the hands of the two puppets at some point, and under the rapid drum beat, they quickly rushed towards Jenkins along the space between the seats.
"Is this too much?"
Jenkins stood up immediately, holding a silver table knife in each hand. No matter how strong the puppets are, they are controlled by those strings. Once the strings are cut, they lose their ability to move... Of course, if they can still move, Jenkins has other means.
"You can't leave your seat."
The metal puppet beside him suddenly reminded in the darkness.
"Of course I know."
"You can't affect the continuation of the puppet show."
it said again.
"What's the meaning?"
"You can't destroy a puppet as an actor, or the play won't go on."
Amidst the sound of explanation, two puppets that seemed to be gliding on the ground had come to Jenkins' side, one on the left and one on the right, and at the same time raised their daggers and stabbed at his waist.
"Oh, it's not fair, I can't destroy them, and they want to kill me!"
In order not to break the rule of "no loud noise", he put forward his opinion as quietly as possible, while throwing away the knife in his hand, and holding the knife-holding hands of the two puppets with both hands. Although their strength is not as strong as Jenkins, they are also surprisingly large, not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary low-level gifters may not be able to compare.
Seeing that their hand was being held, the puppets raised their other hand, which also held a sharp knife.
"Why do they have knives on them? This conflicts with the story setting of this puppet show!"
Jenkins protested again, and this time the metal puppet, which had taken refuge in the row of chairs behind him, explained aloud:
"It does not conflict with the setting of the story, we are a professional puppet troupe."
"When it comes to the logic of the story, it will explain it to me... Also, since there is no conflict, it means that the family environment where the three puppets live is definitely not simple!"
He only has two hands, so he can't prevent another assassination attack. Two short knives pierced the waist on the left and right sides respectively. Jenkins snorted, endured the pain and smiled:
"You don't think I'm afraid of such an attack, do you?"
Even though the two short knives were poisonous as expected, and it was a very strong poison, but now he is invulnerable to all poisons. There must be poisons in this world that still work on him, but at least the ones on the two short knives are not.
Grip the dolls' hands and lift them up, then slam them toward the stage. Unexpectedly, under the control of the silk thread, the two puppets actually changed directions in the air and rushed towards Jenkins again as if flying. This time they took out brand new short knives, and this time the short knives were all monsters with black auras.
"The way to change the status quo is not to defeat these two puppets, and the metal puppet behind me will not stop them from attacking me, so the way out is..."
He looked towards the pitch-black stage, and because of his dark vision, he saw the girl puppet standing still in the center of the stage:
"It's time to go."
He sang loudly, even without the melody, trying to make his voice sound like he was singing:
"The mirror reminds you that it's time to go out and perform before it may be too late."
As soon as the sound fell, the lights on the stage turned on instantly, and the girl doll started to move again, and said to Jenkins on the stage in an excited tone:
"Yes, Mr. Mirror is right, Mom and Dad, I'm going out now!"
The two "flying" puppets changed direction in the air again, turned around and landed on the stage:
"Oh, that's not okay, you can't go out now, go back to your room."
said the father puppet.
"You can't go out, let alone perform, go back now."
The mother puppet also said.
The music resumed, and the girl doll sang:
"You will never understand me, I know my things. Now I will show you, and look, how wonderful my magic is!"
Her wooden fingers made a snapping motion, and then the ear-splitting sound really came.
The sound fell, and two wooden boxes fell from the sky, covering the father puppet and the mother puppet. The girl doll turned around and came to the oil painting, standing in front of the picture of the floor cabinet. Stretching out her hand, the girl puppet's hand penetrated the oil painting, and took out a hacksaw with a cold light from behind the oil painting.
