Chapter 57: The Puppet
As soon as Ermao bit the yin, the cold hairs on my body stood upside down, and Li Lin also knew that things were not good, so he rolled up his trouser leg and pulled out the chisel tied to his foot.
The chisel is relatively thin, except for the front end is a beveled mouth, the rest is similar to the appearance of a three-edged thorn, and the length is just right.
Li Lin pulled out the chisel and was about to approach the black shadow, but I stopped him. The sound outside the door is still there, and there is such a big movement in the house yet, it is definitely not a thief.
I reached out and stroked Ermao's neck to calm it down, then grabbed its ears, pulled it to its side, and carefully touched the door.
As I got closer, I realized that it wasn't the sound of the door opening, but something scratching the door with its fingernails.
When I went to the door, Chen Xue also walked towards the black shadow in the corner, Zhao Ling'er looked at it and reminded her in a panic: "Xiaoxue, don't mess around." ”
The black shadow is illuminated by the Soul Destroying Lamp, and it can be determined that it is a Yin Spirit. As Chen Xue's Yin Walker, it is effortless to deal with.
And that thing huddled in a corner, scared of us and afraid of us.
As I approached the door, the sound of scratching the door was unusually harsh, and I felt like my fingernails were going to be turned over. I reached out and held the doorknob to open the door, and Ermao immediately quieted down, leaned half-down, and made a forward pounce.
"Shhh I took a deep breath and slowly turned the doorknob, the lock clicked softly, I didn't push it away, but with all my strength, I flew up and kicked it open, and the thing that scratched the door was directly knocked out by the door, it was a woman.
And he's a bald head!
I haven't even looked carefully, Ermao pounced, and it was a bite on the white flower's body, but when Ermao was biting, there was something like ink on the ground that stretched out, and after wrapping Ermao, it pasted Ermao like a spider web.
At first, I wanted to go up and help, but I only took half a step, and the bald head raised its face, which was a bald head, yes, but its face was also bare, and it had no facial features.
The whiteboard-like face was facing me like this, and under the white skin, it seemed as if a pair of eyes were staring at me.
The feeling is indescribably weird.
But I was only stunned for a few seconds, and hurriedly popped out a few lights, but as soon as the lights got close to the black "hair", they became weaker and weaker, and the distance was about ten centimeters, and they went out at once.
Ermao is still tearing now, but his whole body is entangled with "hair", and the movement is getting smaller and smaller, and after a long time, I am afraid that he will be strangled to death.
I wanted to go out to help, but when I stepped out of the room, the flame of the jade lamp weakened and was about to be extinguished.
Damn it!
I scolded, the soul extinguishing lamp is powerful, but in the hands of a mortal like me, its power can't burst out at all, and when it encounters something with strong yin qi, the lamp will be crushed.
Seeing that Ermao was about to be strangled, Li Lin was still caring about protecting Zhao Ling'er, I roared, and he was busy at the door and threw two wooden talismans out.
But the wooden talisman, like my lamp, has no effect.
This delay, half a minute passed, I saw that the hair was getting tighter and tighter, Ermao was no longer moving, so I was so anxious to put down the jade lamp in my hand, snatched the chisel in Li Lin's hand, and puffed it out, and the chisel stabbed directly at the face that had no facial features.
When I poked the chisel in my hand, there was no avoidance in the face of the whiteboard, and the chisel stabbed in with a snort, and the sound sounded like it had been pierced into a piece of foam. Before I could pull my hand a second time, a large pile of black thread gushed out of the breach, wrapped around my hand, and continued to spread rapidly towards my shoulder.
Li Lin pounced on him from behind and tore it with his hands, but the more he tore it, the more he tore it. In the end, he trapped himself inside.
I was horrified, this is something in the puddle of the construction site, Du Jiang and Sun Youcai are not still over there, how can they find us?
Thinking in my heart, Li Lin and I kicked and tore each other, wanting to break myself out, in addition to tearing what was on my body, I also freed my hand to tear the bottom of Ermao's neck.
But the more we pull, the more that thing gets, and the tighter it wraps around our bodies.
Seeing that the necks were all entangled, as long as they were retracted, it would not take a few minutes for Li Lin and I to be strangled, at this time Chen Xue suddenly rushed out, she did not help, but handed me the jade lamp from afar.
It was torn up outside for about a minute, and the lights had long since gone out. But Chen Xue handed it over, and I still subconsciously grabbed it in my hand.
The moment I started the jade lantern, the air flow in my body began to rotate, and I couldn't detect it before, I didn't know that I was in danger, but my perception became keen, and I could feel the air flow down my arm and directly into the jade lamp.
Absorbing the qi in my body, the jade wick suddenly glowed like a flashlight bulb, and then the flames burst out.
The light shone brightly, and the "hair" wrapped around our body turned into black water at once.
As soon as Li Lin got out of trouble, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the chisel. Ermao saw that he was only angry, and lay on the ground softly, but at the moment when the "hair" on his body disappeared, it pounced, bit the bald woman's neck, and tore off the whole head with one tear.
Ermao's tear, I found out that the woman with no clothes turned out to be a paper person.
I reached out and grabbed Ermao, and took the "bald head" from its mouth, it was indeed a paper man.
"Puppetry!" Chen Xue said in the house.
When Li Lin heard this, he got up from the ground and said angrily: "Du Jiang and Zhao Youcai, the two kings and eight calves, dare to use magic to harm us!" Teacher Chen, if you drive us over now, I have to beat Du Jiang out of the. ”
The people who rummaged through our bags were not necessarily the same as the people who controlled the puppets to come to the door. I turned around and asked Chen Xuedao, "Teacher Chen, is that black shadow a living soul just now?" ”
Chen Xue tossed for more than a minute before coming to help, and the soul inside must have been taken away by her.
As for her identity, she knows it, so she doesn't have to say it. Chen Xue nodded, as soon as I heard that it was a living soul, it should be the soul of the excavator master.
The paper man may have come with the living soul.
Chen Xue asked us to come in and said, Ermao has lost his strength, and Li Lin and I wasted the boss's strength to move it to the balcony and open the window to let it breathe.
Zhao Ling'er's face turned pale, her hands and feet were still shaking while sitting on the sofa, but her mouth was fierce: "If Sun Youcai dares to do this kind of thing, I will definitely make his life difficult!" ”
Li Lin and I went to the house to rinse it, and the water that washed down was also black, and the taste was indescribably strange.
Ermao relieved himself, Li Lin and I also flushed it, Ermao had more on his body, took a closer look, and found some black particles, I collected some, held it with toilet paper, and put it in my pocket.
It was already early in the morning, and we were frightened, and we didn't feel sleepy. Chen Xue took a small crystal ball and handed it to me and said, "That living soul is inside!" What are you going to do about it? ”
If a person's soul is lost for too long, the yang energy in the body will become weaker and weaker, and if the soul cannot be recovered for more than seven days, it will definitely die.
I handed the crystal ball to Chen Xue and said, "Teacher Chen, let's go to the hospital early tomorrow morning, wake up the master, and ask him what he saw!" Also, Mr. Chen, do you know what schools are proficient in puppetry? ”
The fat man is not there, and these things can only be inquired about by her.
Chen Xue said: "We don't have puppetry in China, only a certain cherry blossom state!" ”
The crooked nuts have been pulled out, which makes Li Lin and I a little weak-hearted, could it be that they also want to enter Yin Village?
Chen Xue's knowledge is limited, and it is useless to guess.
In the end, the four of them crowded on the sofa, slept until dawn, and went to the hospital early, avoiding the nurses in the hospital and Du Jiang at the same time.
After all, if he did something, we wouldn't be able to ask anything if he was there.
Before we went to the county hospital, the nurse had not yet made rounds, Chen Xue flicked the crystal ball lightly at the door, and a phantom floated in, and after half a minute, we pushed the door in.
There are not many people hospitalized in the county hospital, and the excavator master is a foreigner, and some workers will come to see it during the day, but he is alone at night, and there are no extra people inside.
As soon as we entered, the young man rolled out of bed, knelt beside the bed, and kowtowed in thanks.
Li Lin and I were stunned, he knew that we saved him?
Chen Xue explained: "The soul wanders, and the things you see will be written down like a dream. Not surprising. ”
It was still early, and we were afraid that we would scare him by asking about the previous night, so we talked to him about something else.
The young man's surname is Zhong, he hasn't read much, and he doesn't have a driver's license for an excavator, just watching others hold a meeting on the construction site, he and the foreman are fellow villagers, after the death of a master the day before yesterday, the excavator master didn't dare to do it, and the foreman temporarily let him go up.
That night, in addition to him, there were a few workers who tied steel bars on the construction site, but they were all working on the side, and he was alone on the excavator.
I listened to his story, the foreman did not tell him that the previous excavator master was scared to death, and he was working normally at night, but he felt that it was wrong when he was digging, and the black things were digging more and more, and he heard some screams in his ears.
I even saw people in old military uniforms coming out of the water constantly, looking at the people of Yanxia Kingdom, but when they came out, they were pulled back by those black hairs.
He thought he was dazzled at first, but as soon as he went down the shovel, a bald woman came out of the black stuff, and was about to climb into the cab along the bucket.
He couldn't remember the rest of the story, and then he saw us, he was afraid of Ermao, so he ran away to hide, he felt that we were good people, so he followed us back.
After listening to this, I concluded that the puppet was chasing Zhong Daniu's soul to find us.
While we were still chatting, Chen Xue's phone rang, she picked it up and listened to a few words before hanging up, and then told us: "It was Zhao Youcai who called, they found the Cultural Bureau, and found that the underground is likely to be a former mass grave." ”
Because of historical reasons, there are mass graves all over the country, but I have never heard of a puppeteer crushing souls.
Why is it the only one here? Li Lin and I didn't plan to take care of it, but when we heard about it, we felt that we couldn't let others be bullied by outsiders, no matter what.
