The old man listened to my words, but the movements in his hands did not stop at all, but continued to make paper money.

Zhang Qiang looked around and saw that nothing strange had happened, and his mood gradually stabilized.

Seeing that the old man had been ignoring me, he pursed his mouth and limped over.

"Hey, what are we asking you? How can you tell? Zhang Qiang opened his mouth angrily.

However, the old man did not reply to Zhang Qiang's words, but only glanced up at him meaningfully.

"If you don't want anyone to know, you can't do it unless you do."

After saying this, he continued to turn his head and get to work on what he was doing.

"Hey, what do you mean? What's wrong with me? When Zhang Qiang heard this, he immediately became angry.

"Hadron!" I stopped Zhang Qiang, shook my head, and motioned to him not to do this.

Zhang Qiang snorted when he heard this, and stopped talking.

I stepped forward and looked at the old man respectfully: "Old man, since you have seen the problem in us, then I want to ask, is there any way to save us?" ”

"Man is inherently dead, and what is not to be saved." The old man still kept his head down, and did not let go of his mouth at all.

After Zhao Qiqi and I glanced at each other, I looked at the old man again.

"That...... I have a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not? I looked at him solemnly.

When the old man heard this, the movements in his hands paused for a second, and he said indifferently: "What's the matter?" ”

My eyes flashed, and then I looked at him with a dark face: "We met last night, right!?" Right on that weird bus. ”

The old man's hand stopped, and he lifted his stereotyped, wrinkled face, staring at me with cloudy eyes.

"You've mistaken someone."

"Impossible! I was sitting diagonally behind you, and I'm pretty sure that person was you! Can you tell me if we're really messing with something unclean? Without giving the old man a chance to refute, I asked quickly.

The old man's eyelids drooped when he saw my resolute attitude, and in the end, he only sighed faintly.

"This man, as long as your heart is open, and you don't believe in sneaks, or evil spirits, evil or anything will not pose any threat to you. In a word, keep your heart. As soon as he had said this, he stood up.

"......"

Listening to the old man's words, I was even more confused.

Strange things have happened now, right?

Why does he tell us not to believe in evil?

What does this mean exactly?

"What does this mean? We don't quite understand? Du Deming also looked at the old man with a puzzled expression.

The old man looked back at a few of us mysteriously: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, the meaning of this word, you can think about it slowly!" ”

As he spoke, he wanted to walk up the old wooden staircase ahead.

I hurriedly took a few steps forward and grabbed the old man.

"But, anyway, now that that strange thing has come to haunt us, you must know something, right? Can you tell us something, even if it's self-defense! Right now, we don't even know what it is. As I spoke, I only felt a chill down my spine.

The old man turned his head and looked at the four of us with different expressions for a while, and finally shook his head: "Okay! ”

When we heard this, there was a flash of joy on our faces.

"Don't be too happy, it's still the same sentence, keep your heart, only this is the best way."

"Hmm." Although I didn't understand what the old man meant by this, I nodded.

"Come with me!" The old man grimaced and motioned for a few of us to go upstairs with him.

The four of us glanced at each other, and finally chose to go up to the attic with him.

Crunch crunch ~~

After a heavy gasp from the old staircase, all four of us finally made our way to the attic.

The attic space is not too big, and it is full of all kinds of sundries, and after a few of us and the old man entered, we could only barely stand down.

We stood by the stairs and watched the old man's movements curiously.

He walked to the right corner, opened a large old carved wooden box with thick dust, and began to rummage through it.

After a while he seemed to have found what he was looking for, and after taking it out, he closed the lid of the wooden box again.

Then he walked over with his things.

When we saw what the old man was holding in his hand, everyone's faces turned pale.

"This ...... This, this is ......" Du Deming pointed to the thing in his hand and subconsciously stepped back.

If I hadn't grabbed him with my quick eyes, he would have almost fallen down the stairs.

Zhang Qiang was also trembling, so frightened that he couldn't say a word.

As for me, even though I was mentally prepared, my heart beat half a beat slower when I saw it clearly.

That's right.

What the old man was holding in his hand were six small paper dolls more than ten centimeters long and of different shapes.

And what made us feel the most creepy was that the appearance of those puppets turned out to be a little similar to the six members of our team.

Looking at them is like looking at ourselves.

"This ...... They ...... "I just felt a cold sweat break out, pointing to what the old man was holding in his hand, and I didn't know how to speak for a while."

The old man still had no expression, and he looked particularly terrifying in such dim light.

He glanced at me coldly: "For twenty-three days, including tonight, each of you must carry a puppet similar to yourself with you, no matter where you are, no matter what happens, you can't let the puppet leave you, in this way, maybe you can keep you safe." ”

As he spoke, he took the hair of the six dolls and handed them over.

I was so stunned that I forgot to react for a moment.

Zhao Qiqi glanced at me and silently took the six small dolls in the old man's hand.

"But now that you've taken it, I can't keep you here tonight. Well, I'll send you back overnight. The old man said quietly.

"Wait." Seeing that the old man was about to walk past me, I quickly stopped him: "What the hell is this thing?" Why can't we live here? ”

What is the old monk's mysterious hint and the old man's strange words, and this seemingly oozing puppet?

What do they want to implicitly mean?

"It doesn't do you any good to know too much. In a word, as long as you keep your heart, you can live peacefully. Let's go down! After the old man finished speaking, he gently pushed me away and walked down the stairs first.

"What the hell is going on?" Du Deming's eyes flashed, and he looked at the puppet in Zhao Qiqi's hand with a frightened face, and muttered.

At this time, I only felt my temples pounding suddenly, and I sighed.

"Anyway, let's go down first!" I said to the others, and walked down myself.
