Chapter 5

When I think about it, it seems that this is really the case.

I hesitated for a while, but finally concealed the purpose and method of my coming here, and then got up to leave, when out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of some old and broken dolls in the door that Fang Zong had just changed his clothes and had not closed.

I turned my head and glanced at Fang Zong, he was looking at the document with his head down, ignoring me who was about to leave, I was about to withdraw my gaze, he just raised his head, and the moment the two of them looked at each other, I felt chills all over my body, and I shivered.

"Do you have any questions?" Fang Zong looked at me suspiciously.

"No, it's fine. I was just too nervous to see what you looked like. ”

After saying this, I turned my head and was about to leave, when countless eyes stared at me from my left, and it was a strange feeling.

It was very direct and intense, I stiffened my body, and I wanted to step out of this strange shop, but I found that my body was a little weak because I was too nervous to move.

"Mr. Fang, do you have a lot of employees here?"

"Ah, in fact, there is only one in this shop besides me, the puppet I just mentioned."

"And what kind of beings are they?"

"Please turn your head and look at the door on the left."

I gritted my teeth and suddenly turned my head to look at the door, and it was this glance that made me fly away from the strange shop.

Countless dilapidated and damaged puppets were staring at me in unison, some of them with missing limbs and broken arms, and covered in scars; Some were disemboweled, and the intestines and internal organs flowed out; There were also a few headless puppets, lying on the ground, facing me with the holes the size of bowls in their necks, and what was even more strange - their faces had no facial features! Eyes, nose, mouth, even eyebrows, not just one head! It's as smooth as a plaster statue that doesn't have its facial features pinched.

But I really felt their gaze very strongly.

Their gaze swept up and down my body, and I felt like my body was going to be pierced by their gaze because it was so hot!

"Swap with me."

"Swap with me."

"Let me take your place."

"Stay."

My eyes began to darken, and my ears suddenly rang out with countless shouts exchanging words with them.

I felt like I was having auditory hallucinations, and hallucinations.

At this moment, I am no longer in the merchant house in Fangzong, surrounded by gray, no sunlight, no living people, no buildings, empty, red and cracked ground.

I kept hearing the words of the puppets and exchanging words with them, and my heart was full of despair and horror, but I still straightened my back and stood still, unwilling to show my cowardice and fear.

Countless cold and stiff hands came out of the ground and grabbed my feet, trying to pull me underground, I wanted to resist, to break free from these restraints, but to my horror, the feet they touched actually began to weaken, I lost my mobility, powerless to resist.

The whole person was pulled back and forth by those cold and stiff hands on the ground like a marionette, I accidentally didn't stand firm and was pulled down by them and fell to the ground, and suddenly stretched out countless hands and quickly wrapped around my neck, my limbs, they tried hard to drag me into the ground, I tried to open my mouth and wanted to ask Fang Zong for help, but I found that I couldn't make a sound, I could only be at their mercy like a dead corpse.

"Who's going to save me!? I don't want to die? ”

Just when I thought I was going to die in this hellish place, I smelled a familiar smell and heard an angry shout.

"Get out of here!"

The sound of the puppets stopped in an instant, and those hands that were about to move also retracted back into the ground, I raised my head to see who saved me, and said thank you to him, and finally raised my head after working hard for a long time, and barely showed a smile to look at it, and my smile instantly froze.

"It's you!"

I screamed as I uttered those two words, and suddenly my body exploded with an amazing force that supported me to my feet and move away from the strange man in my dream, clamoring to give him back my life.

He didn't answer, he walked straight over and punched me directly in the face, I fell to the ground with gold stars in my eyes, and when I staggered and barely stood up, and when I looked at him again, I found that I had returned to Fang Zong's shop.

He was sitting behind the desk looking at the papers, and I was staring at him in a daze, he suddenly raised his head, looked at me suspiciously, and asked, "Do you still have any questions, Mr. Fang?" ”

My eyes widened suddenly, and I didn't answer his words, and a sentence quickly flashed through my mind.

Run! Escape! Get out of this hellish place!

I didn't answer his words, just closed my eyes and turned around, and rushed out towards the door!

I didn't dare to stop when I smashed the glass door directly, endured the severe pain and ran directly to the road, stretched out my hand to stop a taxi, and galloped away in the direction of Bai Yao's house.

I lay in the back seat, gasping for breath, finally knowing why the person making the post had to tell me not to walk in when I saw it.

If it weren't for the sloppy man in my dream, he scared those puppets away...

I pulled out my phone to find some useful clues from that post, but strangely enough, things happened. No matter how I look for it,

No matter how I flipped, I couldn't find that post.

"Damn, what's going on. What about the post, why can't I find it again after I went there. Why the hell?! ”

I smashed my phone on the ground in a fit of rage, and it made a dull noise as it fell to the ground.

The driver glanced at me in the rearview mirror and opened his mouth to speak.

I raised my eyelids and glanced at him, but my expression was so gloomy that he shivered with fright.

I was a little embarrassed, picked up my phone and touched my nose, only to find that I had just run too fast and hit my nose and my face was full of blood, no wonder

The driver was so frightened by me that he was terrified.

But at this moment, I was not in the mood to explain the blood on my body to him, I just wanted to know why this post was missing

It's long or late, but as soon as my front foot came out of him, the back foot was gone.

It's a coincidence, I'd rather believe it's more like a conspiracy, but it doesn't make sense, what do I have to worry about?

How could he be sure I was coming?

And the other person in the post, what happened after he came over?

And through whom and by what means did he come?

The two protagonists in the post, who erased whom?

And those weird puppets in the shop, everything, what's going on?

What kind of muddy waters did I inadvertently step into?

Will I be able to get out of it and go back to my old peaceful days?

"Fang Zong."

I clearly saw that when the driver heard these two words, his whole body stiffened, and his face changed slightly.

His hand holding the steering wheel trembled slightly, and his instinct told me that he knew something.

"Master," I said, leaning my head closer to him. "You seem, nervous, scared?"

The driver turned his head and barely showed a smile, but unfortunately, it was really more ugly than crying.

"Me, it's hot. Hot, haha. I turned down the temperature of the air conditioner a bit. ”

"You seem, you know Fang Zong?"

The driver took a sharp breath when he heard the name, his expression becoming more and more ugly, but he shook his head and told me with certainty.

"I don't know, don't talk nonsense, you melon baby."

I stretched out my left hand and put it on his right hand holding the steering wheel, "Then why are your hands shaking?" Master, do you know, I just,

I saw him. ”

Hearing this, the driver's face changed greatly, and then he stepped on the brakes and stopped the car, his lips trembled, and he turned around for a while

Look over to me.

"Did you really, see him?"

"I'm sure to tell you, yes."

The driver didn't speak, and with trembling hands he took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket, and I didn't see his expression clearly in the smoke.

I can just hear his sighs from his words.

"I haven't heard this name in years, and since you've seen him, what is your impression of him?"

I thought back to the impression Fang Zong gave me, his appearance was plain and ordinary, he was not outstanding, his words and deeds were very steady and not frivolous, and his speech was quite good

Politeness, it seems that there is nothing else, except that his identity makes me care a lot.

"Low-key and steady, but also quite polite."

The driver took a deep puff of cigarette, looked at the street scene in the distance, and then told Fang Zong's past.

"Speaking of which, I can also be regarded as Fang Zong's cousin. He was a year younger than me, and he was a very low-key, polite kid from a young age.

After his parents divorced, he followed his mother, and the divorce of his parents was not like in the TV series, cheating or quarreling or something. he

The reason for the divorce is simple - tired, tired.

The husband and wife broke up peacefully, and Fang Zong followed his mother because he accidentally saw her case, advanced stomach cancer.

He was an only son, and he couldn't bear to have no one to take care of his mother when she was sick, so he chose to follow his mother without telling his father.

Later, after his mother died, he did not listen to his mother's instructions to go back to his father, but went to his grandfather.

Grandpa was a craftsman with a passion for making marionettes.

Fang Zong learned to make puppets with his grandfather, and apart from his parents, he and his grandfather had the deepest feelings.

I heard my grandfather talk about it, in fact, Fang Zong was very concerned and puzzled why his parents, who obviously loved each other, wanted to divorce, so he didn't want to go back there

Only Dad's home remains.

Fang Zong is very talented, the puppets he makes are even more delicate than his grandfather's, and his grandfather hopes that he can inherit his craftsmanship, and Fang Zong agrees.

It's just that later, without knowing what happened, Fang Zong's temperament suddenly changed drastically, and he fell out with everyone in the family and bought a plane ticket

Going to London, it was unfortunate that the flight he was taking crashed, and he happened to be 25 years old at the time.

I'm 44 years old, and if he's still around, he'd be 43.

He likes girls very much, and if he hadn't fallen out with us, he would have been like me, looking at the stinky boy at home. ”
