Although Marshall knew that Ellie had a problem, she couldn't blatantly question her in front of everyone. Everything was not yet certain. She also needed to solve another problem: she fell asleep when she touched the bed for two consecutive nights. This situation did not happen during the day.

Appears, only at night. Irene did check Marshall's bed before to see if there was any spell that could cause him to fall asleep, but the answer was no.

If Marshall falls into a deep sleep and is unable to wake up, then she will not be able to detect the danger that may occur around her. Since it is not due to magic, Marshall must find the reason elsewhere. They have been in the "City of Heart" in recent days

"He rested very comfortably inside, and it was impossible to be very tired. The disappearance of his teammates was just a small episode, and it would not make Marshall mentally exhausted. It was just the difference between one more person and one less person. This does sound a bit cold-blooded, but

This is indeed the case.

"No one would play tricks under other people's beds..." Marshall curled his lips. She hadn't actually finished eating at the table, "Let's go have another meal."

In principle, the restaurants in "Heart City" are open to everyone at any time every day. Even if the plates are empty, as long as you enter and sit down, there will definitely be food served. Marshall slowly searched for it along the corners in his memory, and soon

We came to the hall of the cafeteria. No one was eating anymore. The dolls were cleaning up the food crumbs on the table and were silent, as if they had no ability to speak.

After seeing Marshall arrive, the dolls immediately and respectfully made way for her. After she sat down, they placed a menu in her hand. After Marshall ordered the dishes, he wiped a handful on the table to see if there was any.

Dust. This was an inadvertent act, but Marshall found some clues. Her hands were stained with some white powder. Although it was only a shallow layer, like gauze, it could still be seen clearly.

"What is this?" Marshall tilted his head in confusion, "Aren't all tables wiped clean? Why are there these white powders left..." She casually wiped the table next to her with her hand.

Without exception, white powder appeared. The dolls were still wiping the white table with white rags over and over again. They seemed innocent, but an inexplicable fear arose in Marshall's heart.

[Marshall, if you don’t mind, you can try these powders.]

Although she was very reluctant, Marshall did agree with what Erin said. She stretched out her index finger and licked the white powder stuck to it with the tip of her tongue.

Marshall covered her head. The moment her tongue touched the white powder, her vision quickly dimmed, and extremely intense sleepiness swept over her. She quickly pinched herself to force herself to wake up.

It turns out that... everyone must come to the restaurant to eat. Although they have not eaten the powder directly, they will definitely inhale the powder that causes drowsiness if they stay here for a long time. Once the powder is inhaled

When the amount reaches a certain level, the effect of the medicine will naturally occur, causing people to sleep! Marshall immediately stood up. She didn’t want to stay here for a minute. These dolls seemed to be good, and the amount she inhaled was just enough to make people sleep.

When she lay in bed at night, she felt intense tiredness.

Marshall immediately came to Ally's room and asked to sleep with her tonight. On the surface, he wanted to protect Ally's safety, but secretly, he wanted to find out the truth of everything. The dream she had had before actually came true, and they

It's like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered in a pig farm. It doesn't know when it will die, so it loses its life in vain.

Ellie, played by a doll, was naturally very happy when she heard what Marshall said. This saved her from having to go look for each one one by one. She had just devoured Ilya and still needed some time to digest, so she pretended to be unwell at noon.

, so he did not go to the restaurant to eat with the remaining people. The doll was not affected by the powder, and it didn’t matter whether he went or not.

Marshall didn't know whether Qibelin and Yuri were affected by the dolls, but seeing the sad looks on their faces, she tentatively believed it.

"Ilya is also missing." Marshall tried his best to put away the white powder on the table and didn't take a few mouthfuls of food. "I now initially suspect that some dolls have mixed into the crowd and replaced the members of the team, killing the remaining few people."

Get rid of them one by one."

Qibelin wiped his mouth and said uneasily: "These puppets are really deceptive... hypocritical. To be honest, the trust between each other has disappeared now, but the problem is that we must persist in believing.

"

"We can set a secret code. If there is a puppet to replace it, 'we' will definitely not be able to answer it the next day." Yuri said, "Marshall, you are saying this in front of us. It seems that you think it is

The doll turned into the appearance of Ellie? Is there any actual evidence that you can show us?"

Marshall took out the note written by Ally and spread it in front of the remaining two people: "Look. I think the code method works."

The two people who knew the truth were shocked. Just seeing the wonderful expressions on their faces, Marshall's lips slightly raised, confirming the idea that they were not puppets. Then the next plan was very clear, it was just a matter of catching a turtle in a jar. The three of them.

After leaving the restaurant, we briefly discussed the passwords that needed to be checked the next day, and then left quickly.

At night, Marshall and Ellie went back to the same room. Before going to bed, Marshall specifically placed the magic sword on the bedside table. If anything happened, she could get up and draw the sword immediately. Her identity tag was pinned to her waist, so that if anything happened, she could stand up and draw it.

, she can also respond quickly.

[I will use magic to stimulate your spirit and try not to fall asleep, Marshall.]

The night slowly sank, and Marshall was still awake. This was the first time, and probably the last time. Her body and mind were cold, as if she had fallen into a sea of ​​chaos - that was the [Sea of ​​Chaos]

】. This was not just a gray ocean, but also a lost and empty area. She seemed to be suffocated and couldn't say a word.

After an unknown amount of time, Marshall finally heard a rustling sound. She did not move at first, then slowly opened her eyes, using her peripheral vision to closely observe everything happening around her. Ally suddenly jumped up from the bed and opened Marshall's door.

He reached out his hand and grabbed her identity tag.

"As long as you quit this game, then this team will probably be doomed..." Ellie leaned down expressionlessly, her pupils covered with a layer of gray shadow, "But there is no way...

....”

Ellie never thought that Marshall, who should be sleeping soundly, would grab her wrist at this moment, open her eyes, sit up straight, and look at her quietly! Ellie even exerted the energy to suck milk and pulled out hard.

He took off his arm, but it remained motionless.

"There's no way." Marshall shook his head and said coldly, "If I hadn't been cunning, I would have been fooled by you, wouldn't I?"

"When did you know that?" Ai Li laughed convulsively. She rotated her wrist to an extremely unnatural degree, and the sound of flesh and bone being separated sounded like a string of muted firecrackers. Ai Li unexpectedly

He took off his palms, kicked his feet back, and jumped straight to the ground!

"You are indeed a puppet..." Marshall threw aside the puppet palm that had returned to its original shape. She grabbed the magic sword on the bedside table and chopped the broken palm into pieces with three or two petals. "

You still have a chance to say something now, don't make me angry again. Can you put this skin back? You are playing with the friendship between me and Ellie."

"Really? Ai Li betrayed you blatantly..." Ai Li held her wrist, and no blood flowed out of the neat incision. The window was pale and belonged to the joints of the doll. "Even so,

Do you still need to protect her? She came to me with the ID card named Miniya... How innocent! Just like that, she was given to me-" Before Ellie could finish speaking, Marshall had already attacked

In front of her, the magic sword was firmly placed on Ellie's chest.

Ai Li pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said grimly: "You will all die... What's more, whether you can beat me is still unknown... The body of the doll is bigger than you think.

You have to be strong.”

"Let me ask you an answer." Marshall flicked his wrist, and Ellie's other hand was cut off all at once. Even if it wasn't enough, one of her legs was cut off. Now the doll had to lie down in embarrassment.

No matter how hard she kept talking, she knew that she would not end well in the end.

"I won't tell you anything." Ellie said with a calm smile, "Neither I personally nor the rules in this 'Heart City'... will allow me to tell you anything.

"

"I won't believe any of your words." Marshall raised his eyebrows, "Do you think we have never doubted the rules in the 'City of Heart'?" She took out a handful of identity tags from the bag beside her.

, and threw it in her face.

"I won't...I won't say either -" Aili's cheeks suddenly froze, and some mechanical syllables came out of her mouth, "What information do you need to know? The fees are charged according to the importance of the information.

——I won’t say a word!”

Marshall snorted coldly and muttered: "Sure enough..." She immediately cut off Ellie's last leg, revealing the pale and weak limbs of the puppet. Ellie's skin could no longer hold on and began to crackle and boil.

, melted into a ball of smelly black water, and the doll's body gradually emerged from the black water.

"I'll let you make the decision." Marshall inserted the [Golden Rose] into the doll's chest, "How many identity tags are there at a time?"

"One question, one identity card." The doll did not die because of this. It seems that as long as the pink heart in the heart is not injured, the doll will not lose its ability to move.

Marshall had ten identity tags, which was enough for her to ask all the questions: "Every team has a puppet sneaking in and attacking the members."

"Yes."

"The core of the doll is the identity tag, and it is the identity tag of the deceased team member."

"Yes."

Marshall thought that all the identity tags that were robbed were on their bodies. At this time, it was discovered from the dolls that the identity tags with names and surnames must not have come from their hands. The only possibility was that those in the previous twenty or so

Team members died unexpectedly due to various circumstances within a day. But... how was this achieved? And what was the purpose of the dolls doing this?

"The dolls are all controlled by someone here."

"Not exactly."

"In some aspects, the doll can act according to the wishes of the original identity card owner."

"Yes."

"The puppet wants to obtain the identity tags of everyone in the 'City of Heart'."

"Yes."

"With enough identity cards, the team with all the identity cards in the doll can still pass the test."

"Yes."

"The dolls were made by the creator of this space."

"Yes."

"We are just a bunch of fools..."

"Yes." At this point, the doll's voice was a bit joking, "Please pay the fee——"

Before the doll finished speaking, Marshall stabbed the doll in the heart with a sword, wordlessly picked up a bunch of identity tags on the ground, and sat on the bed. The dolls have their own rules that they must abide by, and their number is also limited.

The dolls are independent individuals and have no caring relationship with each other, so the death of an individual will not involve the surrounding dolls coming to attack...
