Watching Alice with her neck stuck out in a confident pose, Duncan's emotions became disjointed—"And he suddenly realized this silly posture wasn't confidence or pride at all. It was just frozen and unable to move...
But the doll herself seemed completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, still wearing a smug expression, handing over the newspaper to Duncan while giggling foolishly, clearly very happy about succeeding in shopping alone. "Here you go, the newspaper, and I even remembered the change!"
Duncan finally took the newspaper expressionlessly and after two or three seconds, he reminded the silly doll, "Alice, just nod your head."
"Why?" Alice was puzzled, but she still chose to obey the captain's order. As a result, her head just shook slightly, a strange noise came from her neck, and then it couldn't move anymore.
After two seconds of being stunned, the doll finally reacted and exclaimed, "Mr. Duncan! I can't move! Help, please help!"
