When the outer layer of jelly is lost.

The transparent chain in the middle struggled for a while and stopped moving.

"This is a water chain, you can drink it." Arnold said weakly.

Ren Wu recalls memories, and does have memories of drinking water chains.

But perhaps it is because this is too ordinary, just like daily food, clothing, housing and transportation, which can be said to be almost instinctive, so it failed to leave a deep impression in Arnold's memory.

Swallow the water chain, and the water chain melts at the entrance.

The tired body recovered some strength. Ren Wu was about to take a break and then continued to set off.

rustle......

The dead leaves were crushed and figures were constantly approaching.

Ren Wu's heart skipped a beat.

Turning his head, he saw a tall and familiar figure standing behind him.

"Bang."

The whip was whipped on the arm.

The pain is so piercing and the bones are so scattered.

The old carpenter is not angry but powerful.

"Go back with me."

"I don't!" Arnold said stubbornly withdrew control of his body.

"I can't help you. This is the eighth time. If you don't go to school and run out of town, you are becoming more and more disobedient. It seems that it's time for me to take some measures." The old carpenter lifted Arnold's neck.

Then drag Arnold back.

Ren Wu was thinking now, didn’t he cut off the silk thread? How could he find me?

When he started his meditation, Ren Wu's heart skipped a beat.

The thread that was cut off before will grow again.

They flew upwards and sank into the old carpenter's head.

"Stand up." said the old carpenter.

Then Ren Wu discovered that this body was not under his control.

Go forward by yourself.

And it is the transparent silk thread that manipulates the body!

Ren Wu was extremely shocked.

Not only Ren Wu was shocked, but also Arnold was the first time he saw that his father could directly manipulate his body.

Just like the marionette, Arnold had only his head to move and his limbs were completely out of control.

"Is this my own body?" Arnold couldn't believe it.

"It took me a year to make you." The old carpenter walked in front and said to himself.

“Pick the materials, polish, polish, color.”

“Including the pigments that match your skin tone are all carefully configured.”

"You are my hard work."

"I treat you as my heir."

"Do you know how much I have paid for you?"

"But why do you always disobey my will."

The old carpenter turned his head and lowered his head expressionlessly.

"Arnold, you need to reflect on it."

He looked into Arnold's eyes.

But Ren Wu felt like he was being watched.

The next moment, my eyes went dark.

When Ren Wu woke up, he found that he and Arnold had completely lost the right to manipulate their bodies, including blinking, speaking, and shaking their heads.

But this body was moving by itself. Ren Wu and Arnold could sense that the body was uncontrolled and had an additional layer of cold consciousness, which was like its own shadow.

Ren Wu was shocked and could actually create consciousness. What kind of ability is this?

He suddenly felt that he could not see through the old carpenter in front of him.

Arnold in the consciousness space was crying and yelling, and he wanted to take his body.

But it doesn't belong to him.

This body seems to have nothing to do with him.

The new consciousness is instilled with fixed thinking. Although it is more rigid, it is very obedient.

The newborn's consciousness is very obedient.

The old carpenter will do whatever he asks him to do.

Sleeping for a specified time every day is not bad for a second.

Eat on time, and the old carpenter lets it not have any left.

Go to school on time and enter the classroom at the right time.

He never communicates with other students in class, is not distracted, and is extremely efficient.

When the bell rang, he would return home on time.

Even every step and every action are mechanized.

The old carpenter began to feel a little uncomfortable.

Although Arnold is obedient, he is not so dull.

"Arnold, come here." The old carpenter waved to the freshman Arnold.

The freshman Arnold came over and said expressionlessly, "Father, what's the matter?"

The freshman Arnold stood still, his movements remained unchanged.

"Don't be so restrained, you can relax first."

Then freshman Arnold really relaxed and fell to his knees with a snap.

The old carpenter sighed.

It's obedient, but it's not what he wants to be obedient.

He wants the kind of obedience that is smart, thinkable, and has thoughtful.

This is what he wants.

Not this mechanical one.

"You go back to sleep, by the way, you will complete the carving task I assigned to you before going to bed."

The next day, when Arnold opened his eyes.

Arnold watched the old carpenter standing beside his bed and stared at him.

"Arnold, you can move now." said the old carpenter. "Don't be so disobedient in the future. Go downstairs to have a meal."

Can you... move?

Arnold tried to move his arm and found that he had actually recovered his body's right to manipulate.

The cold consciousness in the sea of ​​consciousness also disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the carpenter's father's back, Arnold smiled foolishly.

He seemed to have accepted his fate.

Ren Wu acted as a bystander this time, and he didn't know what to do. At worst, this mission would fail. Anyway, there would be no punishment for failure.

That night, Arnold secretly hid a carved knife in his schoolbag.

When he closed his eyes, Arnold in the sea of ​​consciousness suddenly said.

"Big brother, do you think I am still me?"

"Of course you are yourself, it depends on your heart."

"But if you can't even control your own body, what's the use of having your heart alone? You're still locked in this cage." Arnold said faintly. "Or it was that he lent me my body. I can use it, but I must strictly abide by his regulations."

Ren Wu didn't know how to answer.

If you continue to discuss it, it will be philosophy.
To be continued...
