"Ah, that person from earlier."

"It looks like they're replacing body parts, Your Highness. Look, there's an arm over here that looks a bit damaged."

"Really?!"

Lonnie was startled, only then noticing that the hand of one of the doll models had been replaced.

Her once smooth wrists were now slightly damaged, and seeing this, Lonnies suddenly remembered something.

"Lianlan, shall we hurry up and follow them? I think this doll is very special; it might be a clue left to us by Elusia."

"Ok!"

……

When Lonnie ran out of the store, she found that the doll girl was already quite a distance away.

But thankfully,

The girl's beautiful figure was very eye-catching in the crowd, so the two of them easily followed her.

……

……

Walking through a city full of dolls is truly a unique experience.

Because the passersby all looked so ordinary, Lonnies and Lianlan seemed like heroines from completely different styles, creating a very incongruous effect.

but?

These passerby dolls were simply going about their own business.

They simply walked along in an orderly fashion, and even when Lonnie accidentally bumped into one, the other party didn't react at all.

The doll girl that the two were following did not show any special reaction, but her path was more complex than that of a regular doll.

She would occasionally glance at the shop window next to her, as if considering whether or not to browse around.

Her body would occasionally spin and suddenly turn.

But she never stopped, even when she hesitated slightly like an ordinary person—and her steps were as steady as those of the passerby doll, with each step covering the same distance.

This behavior doesn't resemble that of an ordinary doll; it's more like...

"Miss Lianlan, have you felt it...?"

"Yes, Lonnie should know about it too, the video games from the last era."

"Ah."

"I think this doll girl is a lot like a player in a world. Although she can decide what to do, she can't control her own physical movements and speed."

"Yes, that's exactly how I feel."

Lonnie could clearly sense that this girl also had her own thoughts... but her limb movements were almost identical to those of an ordinary NPC.

It was as if someone was remotely controlling this puppet.

Just as Lonnies was pondering this, the girl suddenly seemed to have discovered something and began to run.

"Miss Lonnies, we need to run!"

"Ah."

Although the doll was wearing cake shoes, it ran incredibly fast.

She disappeared at the end of the street corner in no time, seemingly having shaken off the girls—which greatly discouraged Lonnie. She had thought the other girl could only walk, but who knew she could actually run?

Now that the clues are lost, what should I do? Should I go back to the doll shop to look for new clues?

Just as Lorne hesitated...

"Lonnies, our comrades have signaled to us."

"what?!"

The girl looked up and realized that everyone was on the Time Machine, using light to illuminate their way forward!

(By the way, everyone is in the sky, so you should be able to see where the girl is going.)

With that thought in mind, Lonnie quickly ran towards the direction of the light with Lianlan.

However, neither of them expected this...

The place the girl eventually entered was the city's hospital.

Chapter 73 The Unknown Code

Upon arriving at the hospital, Lonnies and Lianlan stopped in their tracks.

Because it was different from what they had imagined, this place was more like a factory than a hospital.

Standing in the center of the hall are more than a dozen inspection machines, resembling security screening equipment.

Behind the inspection equipment are dozens of conveyor belts connecting various parts of the factory... It seems that if a doll is diagnosed here, it can be directly sent to the corresponding unit via the conveyor belt for treatment.

But why would Elusia bring herself here?

Does she mean there's a crucial clue here? Or is she just looking in the wrong direction?

Just as Lonnies hesitated, Lianlan discovered something.

"Lonnies, look this way."

"what?!"

Lianlan picked up a printed booklet, and judging from the cover, it seemed to be a medical record from this clinic.

"This is……"

"Please look at this."

Lianlan turned to a page, and this is what was written on it.

...

Name: Elena

Content, Phase 3 specific curse.

She has a cheerful and optimistic personality, likes cute dresses, and enjoys attracting attention.

Treatment involved reshaping the body and constructing specialized implants. To ensure its enjoyment of its time in the mirage city, it was given the freedom of movement of the doll Z-759.

picture……

...

...

The accompanying images in the document left Lonnie speechless.

Because of her flowing hair and beautiful smile, she was the girl he had seen at the doll spot before.

But then...

Was this girl actually human?

She was transformed into a doll, which is why she possesses independent consciousness?

This reality made Lonnie gasp.

Lian Lan, her expression grave, sighed deeply: "Perhaps... those who were captured by the Tide Dragon were all brought here and transformed into puppets?!"

"Could it be that Elusia is also in danger?"

Lonnie's heart sank. The current Elusia was not the Elusia of the past. Although she retained her intelligence, her strength was not much greater than that of an ordinary girl.

"No, I didn't find any new records here."

"!"

"However, it's possible that Miss Lonnie's companions have already been imprisoned in this city, awaiting our rescue."

"But where exactly is it..."

The thought of his wife possibly being in danger filled Lonnie with anxiety, and she couldn't wait to find her.

However, at this very moment...

...

The gadget suddenly started working!

Although it wasn't violent, the suddenness of the blow caused the girl's legs to buckle, and she fell to the ground.

"Lonnies, what's wrong?"

Lianlan rushed over, thinking that Lonnies had been attacked.

but……

Lonnie gritted her teeth to keep from letting out a soft moan.

"No, it's okay... Waaah, no!"

"Is it cursed? Should we go and rest first?"

"No...it's really okay..."

Under the relentless attacks, Lonnie's cheeks were flushed red... She probably guessed that Elusia was punishing her because she felt that Elusia was too slow and was overthinking things.

But now, how can I explain my situation to Lianlan?

Claiming to be the princess's little slave? I didn't curse her, my clothes are just full of little props?

Saying things like that is worse than being dead!

Therefore, all Lornish could say was...

"I... I've reached that day..."

"That day... was it... was it my period?"
