Chapter 28: Painted Skin Figurines

My head buzzed, and I instantly felt my scalp tighten, and my heart said how to come out and clean up these perverted murderers, or it is safest in the arms of the motherland. I swear to God that when this matter is over, I will be an ordinary dead fat house at home with peace of mind, and I will never come out to toss again.

Liu Guang talked a few words, but there was no result, and we went back. As soon as he entered the fisherman's house, Liu Guang waved his hand, called a few of his subordinates, and whispered a few words in their ears.

At this time, the fisherman came over with a few cups of tea, which were made from some special leaves of Requiem Island, which could give off a pleasant fragrance when soaked in water, and they called this tea passion tea. Liu Guang glanced at him and said coldly, "You come here." ”

"This ...... This man," the fisherman looked nervous, glanced at us, and cautiously moved to Liu Guang's side, as if Liu Guang was a lion trying to bite him to death, "What do you command?" ”

"What do you know about the shadow puppet man just now? Tell me everything you know. Of course, everything is done according to the old rules. As he spoke, Liu Guang slapped a stack of tickets on the table and unhurriedly took out a pistol from his pocket.

"This lord, you are embarrassed for me, I ...... me" The fisherman was halfway through his words, and immediately changed his words when he saw Liu Guang's eyes, "I said I, but you must protect my safety!" If that guy knows, I'll have to turn into a human skin in his hands. ”

"Let's say, big brother, we have a lot of guys in our hands, you see that there are so many good hands, and you are afraid that you won't be able to control that turtle grandson?" Boss Bi said on the side.

The fisherman looked at Liu Guang, took a deep breath, and began to recount these things.

In ancient times, there were many Gu spells that were popular, most of which were spells of ethnic minorities, and in some places they were also called witchcraft. Gu art is a demon art that is spread among the people and harms the people. These Gu release methods and Gu appearances, except for the saying that they have been passed down from generation to generation, no one has ever seen them, so some people think that they are nothing.

At that time, people's knowledge level was limited, and those so-called Gu techniques were actually using animals and plants to poison people. But they themselves portray it as magical sorcery. Gu art has been illegal since the Han Dynasty, and those who violate the law will be punished with capital punishment.

"Then how come, I heard that the natives in the Pacific Ocean also use the poisonous juice in the plants to make poisoned arrows to shoot enemies and prey, could it be that the natives everywhere know how to use Gu arts? This is not good, Gu art is the patent of the Miao people among our 56 ethnic groups, and when I go back, I will definitely send a letter to the relevant departments, suggesting that they also list Gu art as the world's intangible cultural heritage. Boss Bi said.

"Brother Bi, don't pretend to understand, Gu art is to kill, rectify, and curse invisibly, your poisonous arrow is too rude." I replied to Boss Bi, and then asked the fisherman to continue. As I spoke, I suddenly thought of that curse, couldn't it also be a kind of Gu magic?

The fisherman continued, for example: put some poisonous insects in a container and seal them for ten days, and the one that survives after opening it is the most poisonous, it is the first choice for Gu, and then after raising (omitting the method), it is finally Gu.

But witchcraft is different from Gu magic, and one of the most vicious forms of witchcraft is the human skin figurines. This kind of witchcraft needs to use human skin as a carrier, and through some forms, the evil ghosts and undead who are unwilling to leave the human world are summoned into the human skin figurines, and their own blood is dripped, so that the undead and evil spirits can be controlled. But this method deprives me of my soul, because I need my own soul as an introduction.

This method does not work in other places, and the place where people live is not enough yin, for example, if you perform this kind of witchcraft in a place like Mount Tai that worships the heavens and worships the gods, it will never succeed. And Requiem Island is different, the yin qi here is too heavy, maybe Li Ergou came to Requiem Island precisely because of this.

Li Ergou is not an islander on the island, in other words, Li Ergou only came to Requiem Island ten years ago. When he came, he didn't have any shadow puppet props in his hand, and he was penniless at the time, except for a suit of clothes, and only a very tattered book in his hand.

Soon, the fisherman remembered that after an expedition team arrived, Li Ergou followed them into the mountains and forests as a guide. As expected, something happened, and that night the villagers heard a loud noise coming from the forest. The older generation of the family said that the mountain god was angry.

The next day, only Li Ergou came back alone, covered in blood, but there was no injury at all, not even a bruise. It's just that his eyes are very strange, and the fisherman still doesn't know what words to use to describe it, so he can only use a very broad concept: weird.

What puzzled the fisherman the most was that Li Ergou was holding some shadow puppet props in his hands. According to the fisherman's recollections, the shadow puppet was very well made, and it was not at all like a makeshift workmanship. Even if Li Ergou has a shadow puppet skill, it is very suspicious.

"You mean, there's something wrong with these shadow puppets?" I asked.

The fisherman nodded and said, "Although I don't know what's going on, I just think that this shadow puppet is not clean, and I don't know what is wrong, anyway, I rarely look at it." Then the fisherman said, "I remember a little child, quite wretched, who was usually frail and sickly. The child's mother often takes the child to watch the shadow puppet show, and as a result, he goes crazy. I don't know if it has anything to do with this. ”

The fisherman also told a small story, that is, during a shadow puppet performance, there was a sudden thunder in the sky and heavy rain. In ancient times, people said that when the sky thundered, this ghost couldn't stay in the wilderness. The more evil the ghost, the more unbearable it is.

"At that time, the shadow puppets of the two dogs screamed miserably, and the sound was definitely a ghost scream. All the shadow puppets were shattered. The fisherman described it vividly.

I feel very after listening to it, everything has to talk about a motive, if these are true, then what does Li Ergou want to do? According to his logic, it seems that this Li Ergou only makes outsiders into human shadow puppets, and if the people in the village are killed, these people will not be unaware. That's really strange, ordinary Gu don't always listen to people's words, is this Gu racist? I told them all my thoughts.

Boss Bi said: "Then you can only know these by asking him, Brother Du, you can send him your human skin, and ask by the way." I was speechless for a while, what is this Boss Bi, he was respectful when he first saw me, and after he got acquainted, he hurt me every day.

Liu Guang interrupted us and said, "What he did has nothing to do with us, I just think I'm afraid everything is not so simple." Then he looked at the fisherman, "You get out of here, we have this house, this is the money." Also, you're with us tomorrow. ”

The fisherman said goodnight to us, and then crawled out. Several of Liu Guang's subordinates also followed, presumably following the fisherman.

The next morning, we packed our things and got ready to go. Drawing on the last time we suffered a big loss due to lack of equipment, Liu Guang equipped everyone with a lot of equipment, and we were all armed to the teeth. Equipped with the FMG9 folding submachine gun, it can be beaten into a sieve if you encounter a red-eyed person again.

"Let's go, follow the search formation."

I didn't expect the forest to be so big, I didn't notice it at first, but we had been spinning for half an hour. The surrounding trees are exceptionally dense, almost one next to the other, there are no animals in the forest, everything is so silent, and the silence is so eerie. Moreover, there was a terrible mist all around.

"Brother Guang! Brother Guang! You see. A Liu Guang subordinate walked up to Liu Guang and showed him the compass in his hand. I leaned over to take a look, only to see the compass spinning wildly, "How-"

"It's not a big deal, there's something at the bottom of this mountain, and it's normal for the compass to bump around." Liu Guang said, "Since you can't use a compass to find your way, thenβ€”" he pulled his gun and loaded it, "Come on, it's time for you to make a move." You know the rules. ”

"But it's ......"

Liu Guang interrupted him: "I don't want to hear you say this," Liu Guang grabbed the fisherman's collar with one hand and tapped his forehead with a gun. "I just want to hear if you want to do it or not, and then I'll make a decision."

The fisherman muttered a few words, and finally went to the front to lead the way.

We hadn't gone far when suddenly there was a terrifying scream.

"Ahh
