["No! I don't want to get on it!"]
The scarecrow immediately started struggling.
Ethan, however, slapped the back of the scarecrow's head and snapped, "Why are you thinking like those LSPs, huh? What kind of filthy thoughts are you having? I mean skin touching skin, like this!" [T/N: LSP is Pervert.]
After saying that, Ethan grabbed the thick wooden pole under the scarecrow and lowered the scarecrow's head toward the humanoid doll's face. The two of them were about to kiss.
In an instant, both things started screaming like lunatics.
"Ahhh! Don't come over here!"
["Lord, please spare me! This thing's face is covered in the witch's saliva. I don't want to indirectly kiss a witch!"]
"Come any closer and I'll kill you!"
"Lord, mercy! I'm about to touch it, I don't want to, I don't want to!"
"Pop!"
❤️ Double Happiness ❤️
"Congratulations! Congratulations!"
Ethan clasped his fists toward the two of them and said, "Congrats on the successful experiment. As expected, love is the best way to overcome curses."
"Peh! Peh! Peh!"
["Blegh!"]
The scarecrow and the humanoid doll both started spitting wildly.
Even though they didn't actually have saliva, the sounds and expressions of them spitting still appeared clearly in Ethan's mind.
And through this experiment, Ethan could also be sure of one thing, this humanoid doll not only had intelligence, it also had a certain level of judgment, like knowing what it liked and disliked. And by observing its body from all aspects, Ethan quickly figured out where its weakness lay.
"Little thing!"
Ethan grabbed the scarecrow by the neck, pointed the bamboo pole straight at the humanoid doll, and said, "Daji… no, my cat and my people, where are they? If you don't talk, I'll make the scarecrow kiss you."
"If you want me to talk, then come kiss me yourself," The humanoid doll stiffened its neck and glared viciously at Ethan, "Otherwise, I absolutely won't tell you. And I almost forgot to mention, in a few minutes, the mud monster should be arriving. By then, your cat and your little citizens will be finished, heh! heh! heh!"
"Kiss you?"
Ethan was completely stunned.
'Could it be that this humanoid doll is obsessed with my handsome looks?'
But on second thought, that was probably just his narcissism. In reality, the humanoid doll simply didn't know that Ethan already knew he'd be cursed if he touched it.
That was why it made such a request that sounded sleazy on the surface, but was actually extremely sinister.
"Yes, you are the man I like," The humanoid doll let out a laugh like a brass gong, "As long as you kiss me, I guarantee I'll tell you where they are. And if you're willing to marry me as your wife, I'll tell you where the witch's house is, and even give you the location of the witch's treasure. How about that?"
"That sounds great."
Ethan pulled out a torch from his backpack, lit it, and sneered coldly, "You're not even human. Dealing with you won't take a few minutes."
After saying that, Ethan pressed the torch against the humanoid doll's clothes.
He threatened coldly, "Where are my people? If you don't say it, I'll burn your clothes right now!"
"Go to hell! Heh! Heh! Heh…"
The humanoid doll's overflowing affection instantly turned into an icy, extreme smile.
Ethan didn't bother wasting words with it. He directly set its clothes on fire. Yet the humanoid doll still showed no expression at all, just kept laughing nonstop.
When its clothes were completely burned away, Ethan looked at what was underneath and was instantly disappointed.
It really was just a doll. Nothing interesting at all.
"Don't care about clothes, huh?", Ethan moved the torch up to the humanoid doll's head, "If you don't care about clothes, then what about your hair? If you don't talk, I'll burn your hair strand by strand!"
"You… you dare!"
The humanoid doll stared wide-eyed, full of disbelief.
'Why is this human even less human than I am?'
(ಡ艸ಡ) 'Pfft!'
"What's there that I wouldn't dare?"
Ethan said as he moved the torch closer, "You're the one going bald, not me. Why wouldn't I dare?"
"Hiss!"
When the first strand of the humanoid doll's hair was lit and the smell of burning plastic spread through the air,
It finally realized that this inhuman being in front of it truly could do anything.
"I'll talk! I'll talk! Alright!"
The humanoid doll screamed like a ghost, "You're not allowed to touch my hair, not a single strand!"
Just as expected.
From the moment Ethan noticed that the humanoid doll's body was filthy, yet its hair, braided into two little pigtails, was spotless, he had already guessed.
The witch probably loved the humanoid doll's hair the most, so the doll itself must care deeply about its hair as well.
So after all kinds of nasty little tests, Ethan had basically confirmed the humanoid doll's weakness.
"To make sure you're not lying to me, answer a few questions first."
Ethan couldn't be sure that this strange humanoid doll wouldn't lie, so he decided to ask a few questions to test its sincerity.
"First question, what's your name? Are you male or female?"
"My name is Doll. As for male or female, can't you tell yourself?"
"If I could tell, why would I ask you?", Ethan was very dissatisfied with Doll's attitude. He immediately moved the torch closer to its hair and threatened, "Answer when I ask. Say one more piece of nonsense and I'll burn all your hair off."
"I'm female, a female doll. Is that good enough?"
"Good," Ethan raised an eyebrow and continued with the second question, "Then how did you find Daji? And how did you know Daji was the one who killed your master, to the point that you even dared to soul-search her?"
"Your cat has my master's curse wrapped around it. Of course I could find you," Doll said coldly, "As for the soul search, heh! if it weren't for the fact that your pet loves you so much, it would've already died by my hands."
"Hah!"
After learning that Daji was fine, Ethan finally let out a huge sigh of relief.
But he continued pressing, "Last question. Where exactly are they? And what is this so-called mud monster?"
"I can tell you, but you have to let me go."
Doll tried to bargain.
Ethan said nothing and pressed the torch directly against Doll's other braid.
"They're one hundred meters to the left front. I buried them underground. The mud monster was summoned by me, it's my master's beloved pet," Doll rattled it all off at lightning speed, terrified its hair would be burned, "The mud monster hasn't eaten human flesh in a long time. Those people are just enough to feed it."
Hearing that last sentence, Ethan completely exploded on the spot.
He shoved the torch straight onto Doll's head, burning all its hair clean off. Still not satisfied, he even wanted to take out kerosene and pour it all over its body.
But in the end, he was stopped by the scarecrow, ["Lord, you must not!"]
