The puppets in Chapter 442 are all unhappy.
“Lu Youyou, I know you! The master once proudly told everyone your name, but he didn’t know that we were already Wei Tianning’s people, and we wouldn’t be happy with him at all.”
"What did the master say about me?" Lu Youyou asked.
"He said you are brave and resourceful, friendly and decisive, and passionate, just like him when he was young."
"Since you all know me, why do you still pledge allegiance to Wei Tianning and oppose me?"
Zhang Wei shrugged and sighed helplessly.
"You seem to have misunderstood something. I was in the same batch as you. I didn't have a choice! I had to be a brainless ghost if I didn't want to be a puppet. Did I have any other choice but to be loyal to Wei Tianning?"
"Besides, even if I reveal so much information to you now, it doesn't mean I'm completely loyal to him, right? We have no hatred between us, so just pretend you've never met me, okay?"
Lu Youyou gave a forced smile: "No, you have to come with me."
"why!"
"Because you are a puppet, and I happen to have fragments of the illusion."
"Even if you kill me, I will not hurt Wei Tianning for your sake. You have no idea how terrifying the puppet worms are."
"I'm not asking you to harm Wei Tianning, but rather to use the power of the illusion fragments to summon the ghost people, so I can wipe them out all at once."
Zhang Wei: ...?
Was he just a tool?
"Why? Those ghosts didn't bother you."
"Their existence will cause others to die, and those others will become ghosts. As long as the original ghosts don't die, there will be an endless number of ghosts."
"Fine, I didn't have a choice before, and I still don't have a choice now."
After saying this sadly, Zhang Wei's expression changed. With a fawning smile, he clasped his hands in a fist and bow to Lu Youyou, saying, "Then please take care of me in the future!"
After saying that, he jumped into the car and stared at the candy on the coffee table, unable to take his eyes off it.
Lu Youyou followed his gaze and saw that it seemed to be the item Wang Qiao had forgotten to take from her car last time.
Since she doesn't like desserts anyway, I might as well do her a favor.
"If you want some, help yourself."
Zhang Wei was moved to tears: "Waaah, you're so kind, boss. To be honest, I don't like sweets, but for some reason, my mouth waters when I see them."
Lu Youyou sighed, thinking to herself that Zhang Wei was indeed a lackey, now calling her "boss."
However, what Zhang Wei said did give her some ideas.
If someone who doesn't like sweets becomes a puppet and then develops a love for sweets, it can only mean that the puppet worm inside the body likes sweets.
She sat down next to Zhang Wei, saw him unwrap the candy, grabbed his wrist and forced him to put it on the table.
"What's wrong, boss? You're not reluctant to part with it, are you?"
Lu Youyou brandished a dagger: "Bear with it, you won't die."
As she spoke, she made a cut on Zhang Wei's forearm.
Blue blood slowly flowed out, and although it should have fallen to the ground, a few drops of blood strangely drifted toward the sugar cubes on the coffee table.
More and more drops of blood appeared on the table, swarming around the sugar cubes like maggots.
"These...these are puppet worms! They can actually be lured out by the candy!"
Zhang Wei was so shocked he couldn't speak, repeatedly saying "Holy crap!"
"No wonder there are never any candies in the dungeon. Whenever the grave ghost sees a candy falling from a person, it rushes up like a madman to snatch it. So that's the secret they were hiding!"
As the number of puppet worms in his body decreased, his craving for candy also decreased.
The sugar cubes on the table were surrounded by a dense swarm of insects.
Lu Youyou gave Zhang Wei a thumbs up: "You're really amazing, you can even eat this stuff."
Zhang Wei looked pale: "When I ate it, there was only one. This thing multiplies inside the body! But I didn't feel anything at all."
Lu Youyou smiled politely. She thought Zhang Wei had a pretty strong tolerance. If it were her, she would have bent over and vomited uncontrollably long ago.
"Grass!"
Zhang Wei suddenly stood up, as if realizing something: "That bastard Wei Tianning never intended for us puppets to live!"
"The puppet worms are multiplying in our bodies. One day we'll be eaten alive until our intestines are ripped out. Where will we find a way to survive?"
Lu Youyou then asked, "Since you can't feel the puppet worms giving birth inside your body, did you eat something that lowered your sensitivity?"
Zhang Wei suddenly realized: "It's green wheat rice!"
Lu Youyou: Are you sure you want to pronounce it as "green wheat rice" instead of "quinoa rice"?
However, she only thought it to herself and didn't say it out loud.
After all, Zhang Wei thought it was about to break.
"I knew it! That's why there's green wheat rice with every meal. It tastes awful and doesn't keep you full. It's like rice mixed with green playdough, or like someone's half-digested vomit."
"Then it's not for me to eat, it's for the puppet worms to nourish. Once the puppet worms have something they like to eat, they naturally won't gnaw on people's internal organs. When Wei Tianning no longer needs us, he can just stop feeding us green wheat rice, and all the puppets will die!"
Zhang Wei was furious, his whole body flushed red, making him look both ridiculous and pathetic under the blue ghostly form.
Lu Youyou thought Zhang Wei would keep cursing Wei Tianning, but to her surprise, he changed the subject: "Boss! From now on, you're my boss! My dear boss!"
As he spoke, he was about to open the door and get out of the car.
Lu Youyou kicked the door shut and said sternly, "What are you doing?"
"Boss, I'll get out of the car right now and start a business for you. I'll definitely help you beat that bastard Wei Tianning to death!"
Lu Youyou smiled and said, "No, you must stay under my nose."
Zhang Wei was deeply hurt: "My dear boss, you don't believe me?"
Lu Youyou crossed her arms and answered his question with her expression, though she didn't say anything.
Zhang Wei lay on the ground, seemingly dead, oblivious to everything.
"What are you doing again?"
"Do nothing, just sleep."
"Then go to sleep."
Lu Youyou sat on the sofa, using a piece of metal as a scraper to scrape the puppet worms and candy on the table into the trash can, and then put them into the decomposer along with the trash bag.
Then, she took out alcohol and wiped the table again and again.
Seeing that Lu Youyou really didn't agree to his request, Zhang Wei sat resentfully by the doghouse, staring at Xiao Hei with his eyes wide open.
Time flew by, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.
Lu Youyou moved: "Zhang Wei, do you want to eat human food?"
Zhang Wei said helplessly, "I can only see that it glows, but I'm not a spirit! I get hungry too!"
"Okay, do you want a hamburger?"
"Is it okay? Is it really okay?"
Zhang Wei stared wide-eyed as if in prayer, and the blue light emanating from his body solidified considerably.
As Lu Youyou looked at his light, a conjecture slowly took shape in her mind.
However, we need to confirm this again.
“Just wait,” she said.
A minute later, Lu Youyou placed the double-layered beef stew in front of him.
Before Zhang Wei himself could express his joy, the light beside him shone even brighter.
"puff!"
Lu Youyou couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Wei, holding a hamburger, asked, puzzled, "Boss, what are you laughing at?"
Lu Youyou asked, "Have you noticed that when you're in a better mood, the light around you shines brighter?"
"Huh? It really is! I know I get angry easily, but the other puppets... do they all get angry easily too?"
"It's not that I'm easily angered, it's just that the puppets in the 'Ten Thousand Graves' instance are all unhappy," Lu Youyou said.
