This is an unknown suburban area.
Its location is not remote, but it is also far away from the populated cities.
No one will come here because there is nothing here for people to visit.
If there is anything here that can still prove the traces of human existence, it is only that mansion.
It was a mansion located in this uninhabited suburb, as if it was announcing to the world that it had no connection with the world of mortals.
The mansion is purely Japanese-style, with a beautiful garden inside that doesn't match the outside at all, with various flowers, plants and trees planted.
In addition, there are various small animals in this mansion.
Birds were chirping in the trees.
The hound barked on the ground.
Beetles fly in the air.
Fish and shrimps swim in the pond.
At first glance, this appears to be a well-tended small zoo.
But who knows
These little animals that look alive are all puppets.
"What a surprise..."
Luo Zhen stood in this garden, feeling nothing but wonder in his heart.
"Are these all the works of Huayuzhai?"
If this is the case, then you can understand why this puppet master is called the number one person in the bionic puppet world.
Because the puppets he made were so lifelike that they were not much different from real life.
"If it weren't for the fact that the Sky Eye couldn't detect the heartbeats of these animals, I wouldn't have imagined that they were all dolls."
How could Luo Zhen not be surprised by this
"Compared to these dolls, the Akabane family's dolls are just puppets with fur, right?"
Luo Zhen couldn't help but think so.
It has been three full days since we set off from Akabane's house and arrived here.
In the past three days, Luo Zhen kept riding carriages in order to get here, and changed many means of transportation, and finally found this place.
"But why doesn't there seem to be no one here?"
Luo Zhen knocked on Laojiu's door at the gate, and called out to the mansion countless times. In the end, no one responded to him, as if this place was a dead house with no one, and what he showed was unbearable. of silence.
This made Luo Zhen double check the address Akabane Kongguan gave him. After confirming that he was not looking for the wrong place, he couldn't help but push open the door and walked in.
Then, this scene appeared in front of Luo Zhen.
Looking at those lifelike dolls, Luo Zhen once again confirmed that he was not looking in the wrong place.
"Then why didn't anyone respond?"
Luo Zhen became a little confused.
Therefore, Luo Zhen subconsciously opened his "Celestial Eye" to spread the magic wave around, and also used the "Spiritual Vision" technique to scan all directions.
At this moment...
"Uh-huh!"
The sound of the air being cut resounded.
"!"
Luo Zhen's nerves were instantly aroused.
At the same time, his "Celestial Eye", which was working with all his strength, also completely detected the incoming attack.
"ice…!?"
The incoming attack was an ice cone that cut through the air and shot towards this side.
The sharp ice pick streaked across at the speed of a bullet, stabbed straight in Luo Zhen's direction, and landed on him involuntarily.
"Qiang!"
After the crisp sound, the ice cone was blocked by a suddenly unfolded mental shield.
Luo Zhen unfolded the shield around him, took a few steps back, and spoke loudly to the surroundings.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Huayuzhai? I am an envoy from the Akabane family! I hope to see you!"
After the sound spread, the faint chill in the air stopped.
However, the tense atmosphere did not ease at all.
After a while, a cold voice sounded.
"This house has no plans to receive guests today. Since you are still young, I forgive you for trespassing. Please come back."
Such a voice came to Luo Zhen's ears. Although it was cold, it had an indescribable lightness and elegance.
Presumably, the owner of the voice must be a beautiful girl.
"A girl?" Luo Zhen thought secretly in his heart: "Is it a follower of Hualiuzhai? Or is it a doll made by him?"
If it was a doll, then the other party was undoubtedly an automatic doll with a built-in magic circuit.
After all, the ice attack just now was obviously an attack using magic.
Coupled with the wise words of the other party, if it is not a human being, then only an automaton equipped with a life circuit can do it.
When he thought of this, Luo Zhen's heart became active.
"After all these years in this world, I have never seen a real automaton."
Now that there was such a good opportunity, Luo Zhen naturally couldn't miss it.
At that moment, Luo Zhen thought about his words and spoke to the surroundings again.
"Please also tell Mr. Hualiuzhai that I have no ill intentions and am just here to deliver a message."
Luo Zhen lowered his posture slightly, giving the other party a feeling that he was insignificant and posed no threat at all.
In this case, the other party should give it some thought, right
as expected…
"Send a message?"
The girl's cold voice spread again.
"In that case, please give me the letter."
As soon as he finished speaking, the faint chill in the air disappeared.
Luo Zhen was startled at first, and then his "Celestial Eye" detected something, causing him to turn around and look in the direction of the mansion ahead.
There, a figure slowly walked out.
It was a beautiful girl whose voice matched the one just now.
The girl is wearing a kimono, her figure is elegant, and her delicate face does not look like something that should exist in the world at all. It looks like it was carefully carved by an artist. It is breathtakingly beautiful.
She has silver-white waist-length hair, and a faint cold air lingers all over her body. She looks like a fairy walking out of the snow, which makes people feel lost.
Snow goddess.
This is the most appropriate adjective for the other party.
"Snow...?"
Luo Zhen couldn't help but think of it.
"Could it be..."
While he was speculating in his mind, Luo Zhen's eyes never left the other party's body. There was no infatuation or gaffe in his eyes, but only surprise and admiration.
The other party seemed to be used to this kind of gaze and didn't pay much attention to it. He just stopped at a distance away from Luo Zhen, stared at him, and spoke lightly.
"Hand over the letter."
There is no hint of politeness in the words used.
Of course.
Who let Luo Zhen break in without permission
Therefore, Luo Zhen didn't say anything and directly handed the letter to the girl in front of him.
The girl took the letter.
"Just wait here for a while."
After saying that, the snow girl took steps, left here, and returned to the mansion.
Luo Zhen was not in a hurry and continued to stand in the courtyard, curiously looking at the lifelike little animals around him.
And this wait actually lasted half an hour.
Half an hour later...
"Is he the son of the Akabane family?"
The snow girl came out of the mansion again, looked at Luo Zhen with an incomprehensible look, and said this.
"Master, please come in and follow me."
Hearing this, Luo Zhen smiled.
