Xiao Tangqiu handed Tang Mianmian the pocket watch. Tang Mianmian soon discovered the meaning behind the front and back inscriptions on the pocket watch. “…Lippinobert is Lily Marlene? Lily Marlene is Lippinobert?”

Xiao Tangqiu nodded, “To be exact, the ‘Lily Marlene’ in the castle is Lippinobert. All the portraits of Lily Marlene, including the statue of the Virgin Spring… should have been created by Lippinobert according to his own appearance.” All the portraits in the castle must have been painted by him in front of a mirror. bcG6 T

Tang Mianmian didn’t know what to say. “Isn’t this guy a little too narcissistic?”

Xiao Tangqiu smiled. “Maybe the person he loves isn’t himself, but the’ Lily Marlene’ he saw in the mirror. He really regards this ‘Lily Marlene’ as a living person. He fell in love with her and pursued her all his life…”

“So the two wives he later married were actually his own body double?” Tang Mianmian pursed his lips. “I love you but you only love yourself. I thought I was your first love’s body double, but in fact I am your own body double?”

“In the end, Lily Marlene doesn’t exist at all. He has always loved the woman in his fantasy. He has painted so many pictures for the Lily Marlene in his fantasy. For her, he turned his mother, wife and daughter into puppets. He even turned all the residents of Daemon Town… But now, we find out that Lily Marlene doesn’t exist at all?” FthCwj

Xiao Tangqiu was about to say something when a shrill scream suddenly sounded.

He immediately covered his ears. Looking at the direction where the scream came from, he saw the dwarf puppet again! God knows when it had quietly appeared here, staring them down with bitterness.

In the next second, it began to beat its drum. As soon as the strange drum sounded, Xiao Tangqiu lost control of his own body and ran uncontrollably towards Tang Mianmian. He grabbed Tang Mianmian’s neck while the latter grabbed his neck.

Although the two of them struggled with a face full of reluctance, they showed no mercy in their actions. Right when Xiao tangqiu was almost strangled to death by Tang Mianmian and vice versa, Duan Hongzhen finally made his move. He threw a flying knife at the dwarf puppet. CimIpK

The flying knife grazed its head and although he didn’t directly damage the puppet, it was forced to stop because of his flying knife.

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian had a hard time getting respite and immediately separated from each other. Just then, the pocket watch in Tang Mianmian’s hand fell to the ground with a clink.

In an instant, a flying knife shot out and the axe in the puppet’s hands immediately tilted to one side. Tang Mianmian finally took a breather, quickly running toward Xiao tangqiu. dqB8xQ

He glared at Duan Hongzhen, obviously dissatisfied with the latter’s behavior of taking pleasure in seeing him make a fool of himself. But then again, Duan Hongzhen had also saved him, and he wasn’t strong enough to go against him, so he could only hide behind Xiao Tangqiu, looking rather aggrieved. “What should we do now?”

Right now, all the puppets that they come across in the castle were gathered in this room. Their purpose was obvious – to take back the pocket watch in Shen Yuan’s hand, the pocket watch belonging to Lippinobert.

“All the puppets? Wait! That’s not right… “

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly remembered that there were other puppets in this castle! 2oFOvs
