Arriving at the end of the bridge, Zhuge Jun indeed found a suspicious door.
This was most likely the shortcut used by the evil craftsman when he sneaked onto the bridge.
But at this moment, pushing the door would prompt that it was locked and could not be opened.
If Zhuge Jun hadn't previously searched for this NPC, it would definitely have been considered a shortcut to be accessed in the future, and he would not have paid much attention to it but chosen to cross the bridge and continue forward.
But now, he decided to turn back first, retracing the fork in the road to see if the NPC had anything else to say.
And indeed, there was a plot twist.
After being exposed, the NPC was forced to tell the "truth" or possibly "part of the truth".
According to him, his name was "Bazi," a craftsman passionate about researching beastification disease and puppets, and claimed to be a "Puppet Doctor", so his previous words couldn't be entirely considered lies.
