Evolution of a Girl

However, Tianyin could feel that his body seemed very stiff, as if it were just a shell.

And then, the middle-aged man moved his fingers.

Tianyin's body also began to move.

It wasn't Tianyin who was moving, but Tianyin's body seemed to be pulled by something.

This is a very subtle feeling.

She stood up stiffly.

It felt just like the puppets she had read in fairy tales.

After sitting up, Tianyin saw the scene in front of him.

At this moment, I am in a small workshop. The overall atmosphere is somewhat similar to Yikui's workshop - although it looks completely different on the outside.

This is a wooden workshop with strange dolls placed everywhere.

"That's...Shinkurenai-san?"

Tianyin noticed that there were several unfinished dolls placed right across from him, one of which was obviously Shinku.

But at this moment, Zhenhong didn't even have any clothes or limbs.

At this moment, Tianyin finally realized what state he was in.

"I...became a Rose Doll?"

The rose doll that was just made?

Tianyin has countless identities in the dream, so she doesn’t have any special opinion about this.

It’s nothing to experience the inhuman feeling.

Tianyin is not a high-end doll, but a doll with ball joints. She is about the same size as in the real world, but because Tianyin herself is younger than Shinku, the Tianyin here is obviously one size larger than Shinku and other Rose dolls.

“…Alice…Alice…”

The middle-aged man was still muttering.

The aura of the other person reminded Tianyin of Yikui. The temperaments of the two were indeed very similar.

Is this the "father" of Sister Zhenhong?

Tianyin was a little confused.

But she intuitively felt that it was not the case.

Because the feeling the other person described was different from that described by Zhenhong.

Tianyin cannot move because in this world, she is just a puppet.

A real puppet.

Unable to even move, the puppet could only passively observe all this.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

She was picked up by the other party and taken to her room.

"I've already created the most perfect 'Alice'..." the middle-aged man sighed, "There's no need for these half-finished products..."

Amid the other person's muttering, Tianyin was brought to a room filled with dolls.

These dolls are somewhat similar to Sister Zhenhong, but it is obvious that these are dolls without hearts.

Why is there no heart?

Tianyin couldn't explain it either, but unlike what her sister Zhenhong told her, that "dolls also have souls", everything placed here was an object.

Tianyin was dressed in a black Gothic corset dress and then displayed in the most conspicuous position.

The man just looked at Tianyin and fell asleep happily.

After the other person fell asleep, Tianyin was still watching him.

As a puppet, Tianyin couldn't blink, and couldn't even sleep. But it didn't matter, Tianyin didn't hate this feeling.

She just sat quietly in front of the window, looking at this man whose physical strength had reached its limit...

Chapter 25 "Alice"

At dawn the next day, the middle-aged man who had been sleeping across from Tianyin gradually woke up. He didn't seem tired at all, as if he had long been accustomed to sitting and resting.

He washed up, trimmed his beard, styled his hair, changed into new clothes, and looked very presentable.

He walked to Tianyin's side with full energy, and then his fingers seemed to manipulate something in the void, and Tianyin stood up.

If she hadn't been unable to move, she would have really wondered if there were puppet strings hanging over her head...

"The puppet's movements are completely different from those of a real person."

Tianyin was not idle, but was experiencing this feeling.

The middle-aged man seemed unfamiliar with this method of control, and he was also looking for the best way to control the puppet.

Tianyin was also immersed in it at this moment.

The puppet's movements are not from the inside out; on the contrary, they move from the outside in.

The ability to act is not gained through internal forces, but through external forces to pull oneself forward.

"No wonder it was so difficult to move when I was in the puppet shell..."

Tianyin seemed to understand why his movements became so stiff after putting on the puppet shell.

——Because the movements of humans and puppets are different.

Perhaps the puppet's movements may seem very stiff to humans, but for the puppet, they are the most suitable movements for it.

After that, the middle-aged man continued to train himself on how to control the puppet.

Apart from eating and sleeping, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to Tianyin.

Occasionally, the other side would have visitors.

At that time, the middle-aged man would show Tianyin and tell those people that this was the most perfect doll he had ever made - "Alice".

Those people would also marvel at Tianyin's perfection, and they also asked the middle-aged man if he could make more dolls similar to "Alice".

However, the middle-aged man always shook his head.

Because he seemed to be also confused about why he was able to create such a perfect doll. When he was making Alice,...

"I used to think that only a doll with an inner self could be the most perfect being, but after seeing Alice, I realized that this is the ultimate perfection."

"No wonder you named your future daughter after her."

"Hahaha, I'm an old bachelor, why would I care about my future daughter?"

In the process of chatting with these people, Tianyin gradually found out who his creator was.

The middle-aged man's name was "Luo Zhen". He was originally a poor boy who liked puppets and made a small fortune by making puppets.

But at this moment, he suddenly told his friend that he had a dream about a rose-like doll. He wanted to make such a doll, sell it to rich people, and then marry a good wife.

However, when making the doll, Luo Zhen's requirements for the doll became more and more stringent. He became addicted to it, and even seemed to be possessed by something, and began to make an absolutely perfect doll.

The doll that took three full years to create is Tianyin, or "Alice".

However, after creating Alice, Luo Zhen seemed to have lost interest in human women. In his opinion, human women were boring.

Luo Zhen, who became famous overnight because of the perfect "Alice", became a celebrity overnight. People came to propose marriage to him one after another, but he said that he wanted to spend his whole life with the doll.

He even moved away from the city to a manor in the suburbs.

Here, Luo Zhen can concentrate on controlling his "Alice".

"It's different from what Sister Zhenhong said..."

Before coming to this world, Zhenhong had told Tianyin a lot of precautions, but now, Tianyin found that things seemed completely different from what Zhenhong said.

But... for the girl, this is actually nothing.

On the contrary, she was quite looking forward to this development.

The girl likes this wonderful development.

This feeling now is actually quite interesting to her.

"Alice, my Alice."

Luo Zhen was immersed in the doll he had sculpted. His hands gently touched Tianyin, but he did not dare to use force.

Although it was a hard shell, Tianyin could still feel the warmth of the man's hands. Those rough yet warm hands were on her shell.

Although it was a cold doll, Tianyin could feel the presence of warmth at this moment.

Tianyin's fingers twitched.

"Can I move now?"

At this moment, Tianyin immediately realized that he had regained his ability to move.

Although she has the body of a doll, she is already able to move.

"No, I'm a puppet."

She suppressed her body and kept it calm, as if she was still the completely unable to move puppet as before.

The purpose of training was to allow herself to experience the feeling of being a Rose Doll. Although it was different from what she had agreed on, Tianyin knew that all she needed now was to act... no, to become a doll.

Because in this dream, Tianyin is just a puppet. Even though she has regained her ability to move, Tianyin has not forgotten that she is no longer human.

A qualified puppet has no thoughts and cannot act on its own.

Tianyin wants to become a puppet. This is such a great opportunity. I must not let down Sister Zhenhong's expectations...

Luo Zhen was very satisfied with his work, and he could not stop thinking about it even in his bedroom. He carefully placed Tianyin on a chair beside him, then stared at Tianyin and fell asleep.

Tianyin was placed on the chair like an object.

Having just regained control of her body, Tianyin was able to move at this moment. She was able to stand up, move around, and even speak and leave.

But Tianyin chose to lie here quietly as before.

"I'm a puppet on strings. I can only move when controlled by a controller. There's no such thing as a puppet on strings that can move on its own. My ability to control my body is abnormal. The abnormality must be eliminated because I'm... a puppet."

Tianyin lay here quietly, like a real doll.

It was not until the next day that Luo Zhen brought Tianyin outside the manor and tried to control her.

Tianyin still maintained the state of "object" and she began to feel Luo Zhen's guidance.

As a puppet, its inorganic movements are completely different from those of humans. Tianyin is feeling this at this moment.

After all, this is my real purpose.

This kind of life lasted for one day, two days, one year, and two years.

In the dream, Tianyin exists as a puppet.

Until Luo Zhen's death...

Chapter 26 Zhenhong: That kind of otaku is not a father!

Luo Zhen's death was very sudden.

Over the past few decades, he has gradually grown old, but he is still in very good health.

Moreover, he himself possesses extraordinary powers and can control Alice's body out of thin air, just like a puppeteer controlling a real puppet.

He seems to have many extraordinary abilities, so it's nothing to worry about on weekdays.

However, one day, before falling asleep, Luo Zhen suddenly said, "I have no regrets in my life." Late at night, his breathing gradually stopped.

Tianyin sat beside him, just waiting quietly.

There was no life in the room anymore.
