Chapter 201 You've made something of yourself, like a mouse entering a rice jar!
Pei Hening glanced at him, somewhat hesitant.
"Baby, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't."
Chu Xuange picked up the clothes that were on his lap and folded them neatly.
"The authorities may have tools for identifying souls."
Pei Hening said, "[The Fairy Descends to Earth] said that [The Beautiful Frozen Lady]'s soul stability is not right."
Chu Xuange frowned slightly. "The official soul of [Beautiful Frozen Lady] has been verified? So quickly?"
Pei Hening nodded and returned the clothes rack she had taken from Chu Xuange: "Yes."
Chu Xuange took the coat rack, hung up her coat, and said, "Besides props, talents, and skills, there is another rather special way to identify a soul, similar to the Qi Observation Technique."
"When a person's soul changes, the trajectory of their destiny will also change."
Pei Hening frowned: "Aura observation? What do you mean?"
Chu Xuange tried to explain in simple terms: "If someone's talent happens to be connected with their destiny, then it may be possible to identify the state of their soul."
Just as Chu Xuange finished speaking, he finished fixing her clothes, put his arm around her shoulder, and said, "Let's go eat!"
"Homework is due today, have you packed it up?"
Pei Hening tugged at his hand and hummed in agreement, "It's all set up."
——
If Pei Hening is guilty, I hope that God will punish her instead of bombarding her as soon as she sets foot on the floating island—well, I mean, setting off fireworks.
She silently raised her hand to remove the confetti from her hair, looked at 823786 who was holding a confetti cannon, wearing dark blue jeans, a red turtleneck sweater, and a red floral necklace, and after calming herself down, asked, "Teacher 823786, what's going on?"
823786 keenly sensed the trap, decisively took two steps back, and tossed the firework tube in his hand to 199999, who was dressed in a black casual outfit.
"Student, did you like the surprise 199999 arranged for you?"
823786 spoke very quickly: "199999 said, is it true that you humans like to celebrate like this?"
199999: "???"
Pei Hening looked over and finally matched 199999 with the specific doll.
199999 is the doll that she was previously said to have fallen for.
Pei Hening squinted and stared at it for a while. After confirming that she could distinguish it from the other dolls, she smiled and said, "Teacher 199999, have you eaten today?"
"Oh, I forgot, you don't need to eat. I should ask a different question—teacher, did you practice your balance today?"
The 199999 figure is about the same size as the 823786 figure, but the two figures have obvious differences in appearance, and the 823786 figure is more detailed than the 199999 figure.
199999: "..."
It finally understands why 823786 and their computers were driven to crash by the students.
They are responsible for maintaining parts and cleaning up unnecessary data junk one after another.
823786 looks left and right but ignores 199999. It's not really suitable to push it out to take the hits, but it just can't withstand the sharp tongue of the trainees when they cause trouble. Every time, they will dig up the dark history.
199999 said in a calm tone: "Hello student, let me introduce myself. I am 199999, and my latest model is a combat doll."
Pei Hening maintained her smile: "Hello, Teacher 199999, are you teaching me today?"
Pei Hening had just noticed that there were only 823786 and 199999 on the floating island; Xixia was not there, nor were the other puppets.
199999 shook her head: "No."
823786 stepped forward at the opportune moment: "It's here to collect homework. Today, I'll take you to visit Rune's class and ask him for something."
Pei Hening was shocked. How could they be so self-righteous?
Do you want to ask him for something?
Helian Ye also said that Fox Xiaoliu was a criminal gang involved in roadside survival, and she figured 823786 wasn't much cleaner either: "Want some stuff?"
823786 met Pei Hening's slightly frightened eyes and figured out that the guy had misunderstood: "I want things, but I'm not a criminal organization."
Pei Hening took her homework out of her backpack and handed it to 199999. After hesitating for a while, she stubbornly said, "Teacher, you're overthinking it again."
199999 took the homework, flipped through it, and roughly understood the teaching progress in Xixia: "See you next time, student."
After it finished speaking, it activated the magic circle and left.
823786 activated a short-range teleportation magic circle: "Let's go, students."
Pei Hening followed it into the magic circle. A slight ripple of magic appeared, and she and 823786 found themselves in a high-ceilinged, arched corridor. Pei Hening glanced at the dome of the corridor; its skeletal structure resembled a giant predator stretching its body. To the left were walls and doors, while to the right were high-rise windows interspersed with occasional green plants, creating a harmonious blend of luxury and tranquility.
Sunlight streamed through the high arched windows of the corridor, blurring the gilded mist. Countless star-like magical elements danced gently in the air, and magical patterns shimmered faintly on the white stone floor. Occasionally, a few pretty little birds flew by, and a few plants with tender buds occasionally peeked out from the windows.
Pei Hening looked out the window, where blue skies and white clouds stretched out before her. Curious, she leaned closer and peered out from afar: "Huh? This corridor is suspended in mid-air?"
823786 walked in front of her and led the way: "Yes, this corridor was added later. It is suspended in mid-air and spirals upwards around the teaching building."
It paused, then said, "We've arrived."
Pei Hening: "???"
What's here?
She saw 823786 walk to the left, to a luxurious white and gold door, gently turned the doorknob, pushed the door open, and went inside.
Pei Hening hurriedly followed, thinking that 823786 was going to take her to the floating island where Duoduo had classes, but she was shocked when she saw the scene inside the room.
Behind the door was a floor-to-ceiling cabinet filled with magical ores, neatly arranged and protected by a transparent shield. Around it were lower cabinets with scrolls of magical ore on them, as well as bookshelves filled with rare and out-of-print books.
She was already taken aback by the things displayed in the room, but after entering, she realized what true depth and richness meant. The wall facing the corridor also had floor-to-ceiling cabinets, filled with S-rank and higher items, piled up like carelessly discarded trash.
Pei Hening silently took out [redundant explanation] and put it on.
(You've really made something of yourself; the mouse has gotten into the rice jar!)
(Wow, why don't you leave me here? I love it here, there are so many magic ores, it's so rich!)
(Wait, is that a painting by the Soul Puppeteer?)
Upon hearing the words "puppet master," Pei Hening's ears twitched, and she looked towards the landscape painting hanging on the wall.
This painting is completely out of place here.
