Chapter 95: Puppets

Ten years ago......

......

Many children like to put a stuffed animal next to their pillow when they sleep at night.

It looks great, but it's not a good habit.

Including liking to put some humanoid dolls in the room, these are not too good habits.

Because there is a superstitious saying that these things that are close to the real thing are more spiritual.

After a long time of contact with living people, it will compete for some popularity, and the people it comes into contact with will become ill, or even die prematurely!

What's even more terrifying is that there is a possibility that it will take over the crowd......

When you find that your toy is always staring at you, its position will always change inexplicably, and even fall off the cabinet in the middle of the night for no reason.

Or you will dream of your toy, it will accompany you to brush and talk to you.

Then you have to be careful......

Because your beloved toy is likely to have been born with a spiritual ......

It's called, ghost puppets.

......

Li Xiao is an orphan, as his name suggests, he loves to laugh.

When he grew up, he became a circus clown, helping a puppeteer with the opening atmosphere and being the puppeteer's assistant.

He's smart, he's very talented, and he's a very quick learner.

In less than a year's effort, he has learned almost all of Master's skills.

Moreover, everyone can see that he really likes and likes puppets very much.

However, although I learned very well in acting, I still lacked one of the most important things if I wanted to become a real puppeteer.

That is, a puppet, a puppet that belongs to Li Xiao.

Master said that if this marionette wants to perform well, it must make a puppet of its own.

It's like a person who only feels special to his own children.

Li Xiao also strongly agrees with this.

The process of making marionettes is quite complicated, and it is not something that can be learned in a year and a half, so as long as he has time, Li Xiao will find some wood to practice making.

After Li Xiao's unremitting efforts, it took two full years to finally make a puppet by himself.

But this puppet always feels not so handy, and it always looks weird and dumbfounded.

This thing was made by myself with so much hard work for so many years, how could it be so tacit with myself? I always feel that this puppet will reject me.

Li Xiao couldn't figure it out, so he held the puppet and asked the master for advice.

Master told Li Xiao that this puppet that has just been made is like a child who doesn't know anything, you must take good care of it to grow up, and when it grows up, it will be able to do whatever it wants when it is sensible!

Li Xiao remembered his master's teachings, and would let the puppet accompany him every day, even if he slept at night, he would put the puppet next to his pillow.

I have to say that what the master said is indeed very right, in the few puppet performances after this, Li Xiao found that he and the puppet cooperated very tacitly.

They seem to have a mental sense, as long as Li Xiao thinks about every action, the puppet seems to be made by himself.

Seeing that his apprentice's performance was welcomed by everyone, as a master, he was naturally very pleased.

However, just when Li Xiao was about to soar, the master asked Li Xiao not to allow him to touch the marionette except for acting.

He even drew a lot of strange patterns on the puppet's body, just like a ghost drawing talisman, which is very mysterious.

Li Xiao didn't understand why Master did this, but since he was a child, he had listened to Master's words, and Master didn't let him understand, so he naturally didn't dare to move.

Originally, when there was no performance, the puppets were lying on the bed with Li Xiao.

And now, it's locked in a big box.

In the past, there were puppets every night, looking at its cute smiling face and touching its smooth body, Li Xiao would sleep soundly.

Suddenly losing the company of the puppet, Li Xiao felt very uncomfortable, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

I finally fell asleep, and in my dream I dreamed of my own puppet again.

The puppet told Li Xiao in his dream that it was uncomfortable to stay in the box because it was dark and stuffy.

The ghost drawing talisman on his body almost suffocated him.

Li Xiao reluctantly told the puppet that this was decided by the master, and he didn't dare to disobey the master.

The puppet was very disappointed when it saw that Li Xiao didn't agree, and suddenly it showed a hideous demeanor, and said to Li Xiao: "Since you listen to the master so much, then let your master be your puppet!"

The sound of the puppet sounded a little heartbreaking.

Somewhat eerie, scary.

......

Early the next morning, the master got up early and came to Li Xiao to have breakfast, but found Li Xiao crying.

When I got closer, Li Xiao's beloved puppet was actually broken!

In other words, the parts are scattered all over the place, and it looks a little crazy.

"Laughing ......"

The master breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't expect that the spell he drew would really work, but it was still effective.

This puppet has become a ghost puppet and can no longer be used.

Master didn't want to tell Li Xiao about this, so he thought about comforting him first, and then making a better one again.

And at this moment, Li Xiao suddenly revealed a hideous face.

He kept repeating: "You killed him, you killed him!"

As he spoke, Li Xiao smashed the master with the puppet's parts, and then used the puppet's thread to break the master's neck.

......

A few months later, the circus people forgot that the master said goodbye.

And Li Xiao became a puppeteer in the circus.

When the audience applauded Li Xiao's performance loudly, some people found that his puppet was like a living person......

Li Xiao looked at the people in the audience, with a happy smile on his face.

I'm going to... More puppets......

......

......

Ten years later, Paradise Lost.

When Ye Jiu and the others walked out of the house, they found that ten figures were slowly walking through the street.

Their movements are fluid, but there is an indescribable stiffness.

It's like being manipulated, neat and orderly, but it lacks a kind of inexplicable spirit and agility.

At this moment, everyone's pupils shrank sharply.

Because at this moment, everyone finally saw the true appearance of these ten figures.

These people are all the ten C-class Inhumans who left before!

How so?!

At that time, everyone didn't go much into Paradise Lost, just a little distance, were they still ambushed by some evil spirit?

By this time, their mouths had been sewn tightly with needles and threads, the blood had scabbed, and they could only make painful whimpers.

Not only that, but their eyes were also stitched up.

They were all made into puppets!
