I saw the shopkeeper pull out a needle from under the counter, it was a thick and long sweater needle, which glistened in the light. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then, he stared at the girl with a provocative look, and he didn't look at the little man who was tied in the grass, but he pulled the corner of his lips, raised the needle, and stabbed it hard, just in the middle of the belly of the little man.

Chirping!

The straw man screamed, like a dead man lying flat on the corpse, and suddenly sat up, and the strong pain on his faceless face made people feel it clearly.

The girl was stunned, and Xin Huohuo was also stunned.

How can something that is tied to grass make a sound? It's not a human voice, but it's a living thing.

Looking at the little man, he maintained a ninety-degree sitting posture and froze, and after a few seconds, it suddenly dispersed into a puddle of grass and mud, and made a soft sound of "poof", although the sound was small, but it was like a heavy hammer smashed on the heart.

The shopkeeper also kept the action of pricking the needle hard, and stared at the girl with burning eyes, "Who do you hate, just stuff the name and birth date of that person in the belly of the villain, and it is better to have a little more burnt ashes, that person's personal things, and then pierce it like this...... It is better to keep that life than to die, and not to live in pain. Do you still think I'm a liar? Is such a sloppy little man worth fifty dollars a piece?"

The girl was completely stunned, and subconsciously swallowed her saliva, and two gurgling sounds came out of her throat. For a long time, she gasped in fright, and looked at the shopkeeper in horror, "You...... You ......"

"Haha, it's just magic, and it can really scare you, but you can't do it in vain. The shopkeeper had a playful look on his boyish face as he raised his hand under the counter.

He held a rattle the size of a coin in his thin fingers, and with a hard squeak, the "squeak" sound sounded again, as if he was about to strangle a living mouse.

"You see, it's just such a small thing, how easily humans can be deceived. The shopkeeper seemed to have a friendly smile, but there were cold and mocking laugh lines in his eyes.

The girl took a deep breath and straightened her back, looking like she wanted to be tough, trying to convince herself that it was really just a magic trick.

However, the situation in front of me is so strange that even the air seems to be a bit problematic. Eventually, the girl gave up her resistance and ran away. Because he ran in a hurry, it was similar to running in a hurry, so he staggered, and when he turned around, he almost knocked down the shelves at the door.

"Fool, don't you know that you won't die if you don't die?" the shopkeeper snorted coldly, and his young face was faintly gloomy and hideous.

Xin Huohuo, who was hiding on the side, witnessed the whole process and was almost scared, but she couldn't escape.

Now, she can finally be sure that there is something wrong with this shopkeeper! She has no tracking error! Even if this guy in front of her has nothing to do with the disappearance of children, he is a mutant human who must be purified. Otherwise, if he becomes stronger, he may be an accomplice of the World Destroyer and an enemy of the Northern Abyss!

Nervous, she wanted to move an angle and hide in a different place, but she didn't want to touch a grimace mask in her hand, making a crisp sound of "pop".

The shopkeeper turned his head suddenly, accurately found the location of the voice, and stared at the direction of Xin Huohuo in a daze, his eyes not moving.

In an instant, Xin Huohuo felt as if he was the prey of a fierce beast, and there was no chance of escape. Even she thought there was something wrong with the invisibility charm, she had already been seen.

How could human eyes be so gloomy and cold? as if completely inhumane, and that sheer vigilance even seemed a little cruel.

Fortunately, she has been messing with Xiaoqi Xiaoba for a long time, and nothing else, at least her ability to withstand mental pressure has increased many times. In the face of such an unexpected and sudden situation, she was able to keep silent and not panic to make another situation.

Looking at the ground, the invisibility charm is still within the scope of effect, and even the shadow is not exposed. And there was still a little small space behind her, enough for her to retract slowly, slowly.

I'm Air...... I'm Air......

Xin Huohuo thought silently, watching the young shopkeeper walk out of the counter and towards her hiding place, step after step, extremely cautious. However, his eyes were no longer just staring at the air in front of him, but wandering around, as if looking for something.

This made Xin Huohuo breathe a sigh of relief, proving that the other party really didn't see her. Perhaps, it was just an instinctive feeling that danger was nearby.

Mutated humans are more terrifying than demons, just as dead people are more terrifying than dead animals.

"You're so naughty, you jumped on the ground for no reason, and it scared me. The shopkeeper muttered softly, the sound reaching Xin Huohuo's ears, making her hairs stand on end.

But the shopkeeper didn't say it to her, but to the mask, and finally kissed it lovingly...... It's not mentally normal or something, there's nothing more apt than this kind of scene.

And after this crisis passed, the owner closed the door of the shop, took some change from the box behind the counter and went out, apparently to buy dinner or something.

When the door was locked from the outside, Xin Huohuo breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Human beings have two sides and many faces, and some people even have several, or dozens of personalities, so it is said that human beings are the most complex creatures.

Xin Huohuo couldn't tell if the shopkeeper was schizophrenic or polluted by the evil qi of the mirror world, and became the first batch of mutants in this gradually awakened Fourth Realm. But from a superstitious point of view, this is about the same thing.

If you are sick, you will be cured. If you are polluted by evil spirits, you will drive away evil spirits!

Xin Huohuo turned on his phone, found a formation diagram, and arranged it against it. Then, quickly bypass the counter and enter the room at the back of the storefront.

This street is full of snack shops, and if she just goes for a bite to eat, she won't have too much time to investigate, she has to be fast!

Judging by the appearance, the area used for business here is small, but the space behind it for private premises is larger, at least three times as large as the front.

In the room, the air was very bad, and there was a strange smell that seemed to be condensed in the air, so turbid that it was suffocating.

And the room was relatively closed, except for this door, the window on the opposite wall was tightly covered by heavy black curtains, and not even the slightest light could penetrate. However, the lights in the room were red, very dark red, which made the whole room look like a huge darkroom, the kind used for photographic development.

Beds, tables and chairs, computers, cabinets, a small set of sofas, messy laundry and fast food boxes thrown everywhere...... The standard is the configuration of a single otaku room, and there is nothing out of the ordinary.

The most striking thing is that there is a large row of square things of different heights on the right hand side of the entrance. It was covered with a black felt cloth that looked like it was used to protect it from rain.

Xin Huohuo felt a little slippery underneath her feet, but her whole mind was drawn to what might be hidden beneath the felt cloth.

(Today is because of the network failure at home, so it's more at night, sorry.)
