The stage changes, and the background oil painting of the last scene is very similar to the oil painting when explaining the rules at the beginning. They are all rows of seats extending diagonally upwards in the theater, but the difference is that there are only Jenkins and metal dolls in the real theater. The oil paintings are full of puppets in various costumes.
The girl puppet and the coachman sit on the carriage together. They don't move, but the background is changing, which represents the transformation of space. After the oil painting fell completely and covered the previous one, the girl puppet jumped out of the carriage, came to the center of the stage, and began to sing with the background music.
At this time, Jenkins was extremely nervous. Although what happened in the third act was a little troublesome, it was still within his handling range. In the final scene, something will definitely happen that really requires him to show his strength. Even if you don't know what's going to happen, it won't be easy to guess.
The puppet came to the center of the stage and sang:
"Finally here, the magic is about to begin..."
It is still the lyrics that express my happy mood and praise my beauty. I have to admit that even though the voice is weird, her singing skills are really good. In fact, if Hathaway was present in this strange situation, it would probably be easier. Even if it is a fighting situation, there will be other ways to solve it. This way must be in the singing, but it is a pity that Jenkins is really not good at singing.
"Oh~ Magic, my dear Magic~"
The singing is still going on. In addition to the words of praise, there are also some delicate voices of girls, such as eager to be recognized by others, such as falling in love with the young postman who passes by the window every day.
The first few sentences are quite normal, and belong to the small thoughts that ordinary girls will have. But then it gets a little creepy:
"In my dream on a moonlit night, a famous teacher teaches a good student. Dear teacher, I will follow your instructions to become the most beautiful star and write the most beautiful myth. Even if I sacrifice for this, it is just my tuition... "
These few sentences do not match the background music at all, and the meaning revealed seems to vaguely name the truth behind this puppet show. But before Jenkins had time to think, he heard the music stop and the words began:
"Yes, I need an assistant."
Instruments similar to gongs and drums were tapped behind the stage.
"Mr. Mirror, it's better to let you do it."
The girl puppet looked at Jenkins under the stage, and the light changed in an instant. The original warm yellow light on the stage disappeared and replaced with a cool white light between white and blue.
The music played again, as if urging the heart to beat faster.
"I couldn't get involved because I couldn't move."
He said to the stage.
"It doesn't matter, my magic is omnipotent."
As a result, Jenkins, who was sitting there, fell directly into the black hole that suddenly appeared under the seat without any expectation. Then, with a loud bang, it fell from the sky onto the stage.
He got up from the stage and looked at the puppet, and the puppet looked up at him. Cold sweat slid down his forehead to his neck. Jenkins thought that there might be a lot of excessive things in the last scene, but he never thought that such a thing would happen.
It's not that I didn't think that I would suddenly enter the stage, but I didn't expect that this puppet, which has always been strange, actually has the power of a disaster beast.
In other words, the thing in front of me has exactly the same danger as the mechanical worm and the abyss in the sky in the first two treacherous realms.
Jenkins can be sure that the power of the difference engine has not penetrated too much into this third delusion, and he is also sure that it is not the difference engine that threw the power of the disaster beast here. Therefore, it seems that the unproven guess he had made just now has really come true.
The reason why the difference machine can't infiltrate this place too much, but still makes this the third paradox is because there are things far more dangerous than the difference machine in the paradox.
"Because here itself hosts..."
He froze in place, not daring to move, watching the girl puppet stroking his arms:
"Mr. Mirror, you are really my treasure."
The puppet said, the thirst and greed in that voice were definitely not faked:
"It would be great if I could keep you by my side forever."
Jenkins was afraid to speak, so kept silent and tried to resist the urge to move away. The puppet continued:
"Mr. Mirror, let's perform magic together."
She didn't give Jenkins a chance to discuss it at all, she took a step back, and the wooden box fell from the sky to cover Jenkins. The four sides of the wooden box are not completely closed, but are only made of wooden strips like a fence. This makes the wooden box like a small prison, and Jenkins in the "prison" can theoretically destroy the wooden box and escape.
But it was only theoretically feasible. After the wooden box enveloped him, he was completely unable to move in a real sense. You must know that even if time is frozen now, his actions cannot be completely frozen, and in this strange environment, it is only a wooden box that imprisoned him. He can think of only one possibility, such a powerful existence, and there is only one that can appear in this way.
Among the seventeen beasts of calamity, only one could appear in this way and have such power.
"This is my first show and it will be my last."
The girl puppet chanted, while Jenkins was thinking, a long sword was added to the puppet's hand.
Anyone who takes a look at that sword can associate the sword with the word "ancient". It looks plain, without too many decorative patterns, whether it is the hilt or the blade, it is just for use It exists rather than showing off itself. But it was such a sword that made Jenkins really feel the danger:
"This is going to be bad."
Thinking in his heart, he called out his ability light spot. Although the body cannot move, not all abilities require physical movement to use.
"My Magic: Escape Magic."
The girl puppet announced, and then pointed the terrible weapon at Jenkins with a very skillful sword-holding posture. Without any explanation, the sword passed through the gap between the wooden bars and stabbed Jenkins who was imprisoned in it:
"read… "
I wanted to draw something impromptu with chanting, not trying to block the sword, but trying to deflect the wooden box from the falling weight to avoid the blow. But before fully activating this ability, he realized that it was absolutely impossible to do so. No matter how he avoided it, the sword would definitely hit his heart, because this was the fate of this sword.
"destiny!"
He shouted in his heart, although his body was imprisoned, the purple in his eyes suddenly flashed past. In an almost fatal moment, on this stage, the sword that fate was destined to hit him had a complicated and mottled effect on his own fate.
So, he looked at "Fate" again.
Thus, the wheel of fortune turned.
