In the basement of the Linghuang Mansion, Li Hugo couldn't move anymore, not because he was pointed, but because Li Hugo saw the scene in the basement, he was already speechless.

Human skins, three human skins were crumpled and nailed to the wall, and Li Hugo said: "This ...... What the hell is this......"

"You misunderstood, these three are corpses, I bought three corpses, peeled off their skins, and tried to weave them into puppet skins, but I failed...... Human skin, like the leather of other animals, is quickly dried when peeled off, even if it is wrapped around a puppet. The Spirit Emperor said.

"So you asked me. Li Hugo said.

"Yes!" the Spirit Emperor's longing face, the previous humble look was gone, he said, "Let's make a deal, you make a puppet above me, so I am not qualified to be your master, but as long as you teach me how to make human skin, I will give you all my life's puppet research experience......"

As he spoke, the Spirit Emperor took out a thick notebook, which was his life's notes, all about puppets.

Li Hugo is naturally also very keen on this book, he said: "Senior, don't hide it, I'm not a human skin. ”

Li Hugo doesn't know how to explain, after all, the technology in this area of this world is still too primitive, you must know that silica gel and silicone rubber are the same thing, not refined, synthetic, is mixed with raw rubber with different vinyl content and added fumed silica and other additives, blended.

He thought for a moment and said directly: "This is the sap of a tree......"

He can only say this, otherwise it is too chemical, and the Spirit Emperor does not understand it at all, Li Hugo said: "This thing is very magical, after the sap solidifies, it can be coagulated into something similar to leather, but its advantage is that it is almost the same as human skin, and it will not decay over time, it can last for hundreds of years." ”

Hearing this, the Spirit Emperor's face was fanatical: "Hundreds of years?"

Li Hugo sighed, and he said, "The forbidden puppet technique is at the cost of a person's soul and bones...... I know a thing or two, but senior, are you really good like this? That's your daughter, have you ever asked her what she thinks?"

"Because I love my daughter!" said the Spirit Emperor, "I can't accept them leaving me......"

Li Hugo naturally didn't have anything to say, he said: "I can give you the silicone, as long as you provide me with a portrait." ”

"Okay, good, portrait, portrait is definitely there!" said that, the Spirit Emperor immediately began to rummage through the cabinet, but at this moment, a rush of footsteps came from afar.

Li Hugo looked up and saw that it was Ling'er, the daughter of the Spirit Emperor carrying a torch!

Ling'er gritted her teeth, looking very sad, if she could cry, she might have burst into tears, but she was a puppet, and the puppet wouldn't cry: "Dad, stop!"

As soon as these words came out, the Spirit Emperor was shocked, he slowly turned around and looked at Ling'er: "Daughter, daughter, you came just in time, daughter, daughter, come here, let me tell you, your brother Hugo brought me a recipe for human skin, and you don't need real human skin, you only need to use the sap of some kind of tree to make a skin that will not rot, and you can be reborn!"

"Daddy!"

Ling'er's voice was very loud, and she knelt on the ground with a plop, "Please wake up, I'm already dead...... What if you give me a new skin? I'm dead, I can't eat, I can't drink, I can't smell the flowers, I can't feel the things around me with my hands...... I'm just a walking corpse, if it weren't for the Yuan Dan in my body, I would ...... I'm long gone, please...... Dad, we've been doing the wrong thing, you can let it go......"

As soon as these words came out, the great master of the Spirit Emperor immediately froze in place, he clenched his fists and said nothing.

Ling'er said again: "Dad, I know, I know that you love me very much, and I know what happened at the beginning, which made you blame me, but everything has passed, and now I see you living so painfully every day, I, I'm really sad...... I don't even have the right to shed tears, what's the point of living in this world......"

"Shut up!" the Spirit Emperor looked up violently, his expression sad, his eyes wide, "I've lost everything...... I can't lose you! If you're not in this world, I'm ...... What's the point of my life? As long as I study puppetry thoroughly, I will definitely be able to create a puppet that can replace the physical body in one fell swoop, so that you can eat, drink, and do all the things that a normal person can do!"

"Please, Dad, I see you living so painfully...... But you have to replace me with a new body every year, and every time my soul suffers greatly, of course...... I'm not afraid of pain, I don't want to see you make mistakes again and again, how many people have you killed in order to create a forbidden puppet like me?"

"Those are some dying people, some homeless beggars! Rather than starve to death, they should give their lives for your new life!" the Spirit Emperor was very excited, his eyes blood-red.

Li Hugo listened carefully, and sure enough, the method of making taboo puppets is to sacrifice the living people, and then call the souls of the dead from hell, which is a very inhumane act, basically the meaning of killing.

However, the appearance of the Spirit Emperor made him speechless, when one person loves another person to the extreme, what morality, what bottom line, it is not worth mentioning.

Li Hugo said with difficulty: "Indeed, the continuous extraction and placement of souls will cause a huge loss of souls, and if one day, you make a mistake in control, and your daughter's soul will be annihilated at once...... When the time comes, there will be nothing left, can you really bear it?"

"I won't, I will never kill my own daughter!" said the Spirit Emperor paranoidly.

Li Hugo looked at the parts around him, and he said, "As a father, you ...... Spare your daughter......

As soon as these words came out, the Spirit Emperor's body shook, his lips trembled, and his face was already pale, Li Hugo said again: "I heard that Lord Spirit Emperor has been studying the matter of puppet prosthetics before, for example, if a person breaks an arm, you can use the puppet prosthesis to install it, so as to replace the lost arm, this kind of thing is what you should do." ”

"Yes! Brother Hugo is right, Dad! In the past, you used puppetry to benefit everyone, I don't know how many people you helped on the verge of collapse, and I don't know how many people you saved who were on the verge of death, at that time, I was really proud of you, but because of my death, you tortured yourself like this...... I'm really distressed, when ...... If I have the heart......" As she spoke, Ling'er opened her chest, which was a metal plate like a fuel tank partition, and after opening, there was a Yuan Dan inside, and the Yuan Dan had dimmed, but it was conceivable that there was not much power left.

This is a forbidden puppet, a forbidden Yuandan puppet.

"Are you really in pain?" said the Spirit Emperor slowly.

Ling'er nodded: "I hope you can accept the reality...... The father in my heart is a good man who stands up to the sky and the earth, and a hero who benefits one party...... I really don't want my dad to be like this......"

"Hahaha......" The Spirit Emperor laughed heartily, crying as he laughed.

And Ling'er walked over to Li Hugo, and she said, "Brother Hugo, thank you...... If it weren't for your words, if it weren't for your coming, maybe I would never have had the courage to say that...... Although it seems that I am alive, this time is actually more painful for me to live than to die......"

"Ling'er, are you going to ......" Li Hugo turned his head, he didn't dare to look at Ling'er's empty eyes.

After all, the dead soul has to go where it should go, not stay in the world of the living, and such a stay will only give the living infinite sorrow......

The Spirit Emperor murmured, "Ling'er, Ling'er, my daughter ......"

"Dad, cheer up, I will always be by your side Dad......" Ling'er leaned on the Linghuang's body, closed her eyes, and put one hand on the Yuan Dan on her chest.

Kiss......

Yuan Dan was taken out and rolled to the ground......
