Lucas was speechless. Who was protecting who? However, he finally nodded and said, “Just this once…”
Alia took his hand happily. “Yes, yes!’
Alia held Lucas’s hand. The worker swiped his card and opened the glass door. The three of them stepped into the production room.
As soon as she entered, Lucas felt an indescribable discomfort. The overall decor was black. There were a few half-finished dolls nailed to the side, giving off a repressive and strange feeling. The staff who made the clay looked blank. The other room not far away was a workbench for dolls. A master who made dolls was lowering his head and concentrating on carving the face of a doll. There were many doll fragnts on the workbench in front of her. There were individual joints, a hand, and a skull. It was very realistic. At a glance, there were only three people in the entire workbench, excluding him and Alia, but it gave him a very dangerous feeling.
Lucas whispered, “Mia, let’s go back first… Mia?” He suddenly turned around and realized that Alia had disappeared. He imdiately turned around and realized that Alia was squatting not far away in front of a staff mber mixing clay. She asked curiously, “Uncle, is this mud?”
The staff mber did not speak. Instead, the man at the beginning smiled inexplicably and said, “No, this is resin powder…” He spoke intermittently and strangely. As he spoke, he dragged a sack, opened it, took a big spoon, and scooped out a large spoonful of white powder. He weighed it on the scale beside him and carefully opened a wooden box on the side platform. He took a small spoonful of powder and placed it into the mixed clay according to the ratio. He was very casual when weighing other things, but he was very careful with this wooden box.
Alia stared at the sack and wooden box. She suddenly asked, “Uncle, that’s not resin powder in there, right? Is it human ashes?”
The man’s work suddenly stopped. The staff mber still did not look up. The master who was making the doll in the distance tilted her hand. The sharp handmade knife cut behind her finger, and soon a drop of bright red blood appeared. She reached her finger to the doll’s mouth, and the drop of blood was quickly absorbed by the doll. The doll’s lips were bright red.
The man chuckled and stared straight at Alia. “Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Although our line of work is often treated with prejudice, we don’t do such shocking things.”
Alia tilted her head with an innocent smile on her face. “l see. I’m sorry.” It was as if the words she had just said were unintentional.
Lucas picked Alia up. “Let’s go back.”
The man put down what he was doing and asked, “Very few custors co into our workroom. Are you here to order dolls? Let show you the quality of our materials.’
Lucas refused. “No need.’
Alia hugged Lucas’s neck and whispered, “Brother, let’s take another look.”
Lucas frowned. For safety’s sake, he quietly pressed the watch on his wrist. There was an alarm hidden under the watch. If he did not press it again, five minutes later, the alarm would automatically alarm and send his location to the police.
The man said, “We’re already here. Let’s go.” He forced Alia and Lucas to the master’s side and said, “This is our craftsman, Yin.’
Alia greeted her. “Hello, Sister Yin. Are you the sister who painted Sister Sara’s Tu Tu?”
Lucas: “???” What was she talking about?
Yin was slightly surprised. She put down the knife in her hand and smiled gently. “Are you Miss Miller’s friends? Why are you here yourself? Where are the adults?”
Alia hugged Lucas’s arm and said, “Right here!”
Lucas glanced at Alia and said, “We were about to customize a doll, so we ca over to take a look.”
Yin nodded. “Then take a look around. I accidentally cut my hand just now. I’ll go deal with it.”
Alia nodded.
After Yin left, Alia broke free from Lucas’s arms and picked up a doll joint on the table. On the green cutting board were the two eyeballs that were being made, as well as a doll face that had yet to be filled with eyeballs. The top of the head was placed aside..
