"Paper dolls can deceive people too, especially female paper dolls!"

Hai Ge chuckled, patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, even a paper doll is still a woman, understand?"

Zhang Chen understood immediately.

"So, someone taught her?"

"Maybe so. Women aren't always telling the truth; they have all sorts of lies to tell, just like the women upstairs. You won't get taken advantage of, will you?"

"No, no... no, it has nothing to do with me, I was just asking for a friend!"

Zhang Chen almost let it slip.

Hai Ge had already figured it out, but Zhang Chen didn't want to talk about it, so he wouldn't press Zhang Chen for details.

But there are some things I still need to point out.

"Most of the paper figures in this world have owners. This was probably taught to her by one of the paper figures' owners. Being targeted is definitely not a good thing; she needs to be careful!"

Hai Ge said earnestly.

"I...I'll pass that message on to my friend!"

Zhang Chen nodded gratefully.

But we still need to ask.

So, before Hai Ge could ask, she asked her second question, "There's something else quite important: this female paper doll is exactly the same as the one that died. Do paper dolls like this really exist?"

Does it exist?

Hai Ge chuckled. "Do you know that there's a paper doll club on Beiyuan Road in Huangquan District? They have quadruplet female paper dolls who offer services there, and their prices are much higher than four female paper dolls that don't look alike!"

"Quadruplets? How come there are quadruplets among paper figures?"

I've never heard of this Zhang Chen before.

"The people in that world are all sorts of people, you name it. As the saying goes, 'A big forest has all kinds of birds.' What's so strange about quadruplets? I've even seen seven Yang Mis!"

Hai Ge made a surprising statement.

Zhang Chen's eyes popped out of their sockets. Seriously? Seven Yang Mis? What kind of outrageous hobby is this? Wouldn't fourteen stinky feet be unbearable?

"Are you curious why there are identical paper figures?"

Hai Ge smiled with satisfaction when he saw the look of surprise on Hai Ge's face.

"Yes, no matter what, the craftsmanship of burning paper figures can't be exactly the same. How could you possibly burn seven identical ones?"

Zhang Chen didn't understand this at all.

Even if the same paper doll is made by the same master, it is impossible for them to be 100% identical.

Even if a paper figure like this is burned, it can never be exactly the same.

"It seems you haven't had much experience with the paper doll business, Xiao Zhang!"

Hai Ge sighed, looked up at the sky, as if he could see through the entire building, through the entire sky of the city, and through his own memories.

It took him several seconds to come to his senses and say, "In traditional trades, the paper figures are indeed made by hand by the master craftsman. The resulting paper figures vary in height and build, but they all have one thing in common. Do you know what it is?"

Seeing him looking at him, Zhang Chen actually thought about it carefully, and finally managed to squeeze out a single word, "Ugly!"

Upon hearing this, Hai Ge burst into laughter, chuckling twice, and said, "Brother, you're a real talent! That's right, you're ugly, incredibly ugly!"

After he finished laughing, his expression calmed down, and he explained, "The most elaborate descriptions of traditional paper figurines are limited by the materials. It's impossible to create truly exquisite female paper figurines unless you have exceptional drawing skills and can paint a perfect paper doll's skin. But even if the skin is beautiful, the skeleton is flawed, crooked, and the figure is severely out of shape. In my line of work, that's not in demand!"

"But since industrialization and the advent of machines, everything has become so much better!"

Hai Ge smiled slightly, "Industrialized production not only results in higher output, but more importantly, the paper figures' proportions are much more normal. And if such paper figures use the same template, the differences in height, clothing, and appearance are very small!"

"Oh, I see!"

Zhang Chen was truly amazed. "Even so, they shouldn't be exactly the same, right?"

"Have you forgotten what women love to do most?"

Hai Ge asked with a smile, and before Zhang Chen could answer, he gave the answer, "Makeup, huh? A woman is still a woman!"

Zhang Chen was deeply shocked.

Wow, there are so many intricacies involved in just a paper figure!

But the next question is the most important one.

"Brother Hai, do these identical female paper dolls share the same memories? I'm sure no one was present when my friend killed that female paper doll, and it was impossible for the news to leak out. But when another identical female paper doll came to his door, the details she mentioned matched perfectly!"

Zhang Chen asked solemnly.

"That's a rather profound question!"

Hai Ge shook his head. "Actually, I'm not too sure either!"

"Hai-ge, you don't know either?"

Zhang Chen was quite surprised.

"The idea that a female paper effigy can live like a human after being burned is already incredibly absurd. There's still no definitive explanation for this. The most widely accepted explanation is that it's spiritual, but no research institution or government department has offered any explanation!"

Hai Ge said seriously, "Even without mentioning that, logically speaking, each of the female paper figures that were burned should be an independent female paper figure. Take those seven Yang Mis I mentioned, for example. Although they look the same as Yang Mi, their individual personalities are very different. Moreover, it is obvious that their memories are not shared, but I dare not say for sure that they are not shared!"

"So, General Motors is a possibility?"

Zhang Chen understood the unspoken meaning in his words.

"Well, although I've rarely heard of it, paper dolls are too mysterious, and my knowledge is very limited. If you ask me which paper dolls are pretty or which paper dolls have big hips, I can tell you all about them, but your questions are a bit too profound for me to answer."

Hai Ge said.

"Understood!"

Zhang Chen nodded.

From Hai Ge's words, Zhang Chen has deduced some things about Ye Wei.

Her claim of resurrection is likely false.

The second Ye Wei in this forest is very likely a paper doll, just like the first Ye Wei.

They're just made from the same mold, and after some minor adjustments with makeup, it's hard for anyone to tell the difference.

As for the memory issue... Zhang Chen had thought about it many times. He was indeed alone in the corridor at that time.

If Ye Wei No. 2 knows about Ye Wei No. 1, it must be because of her memories.

It's either sharing or transferring.

The immediate priority is to determine whether to share or transfer the assets.

If it's shared, it means that everything you do, from start to finish, might be being watched by someone.

If it's a transfer... that's a bit better. Only the memories of a paper doll can be transferred after it dies. That way, the person behind Zhang Chen imprisoning Ye Wei's paper doll head shouldn't know, and I can still buy myself some time.

However, this is just his conjecture, and the actual situation is completely unknown.
