The person who came was a paper man.

At this time, Zhang, a paper figure dressed in a black tunic suit, walked to the small offering table and sat cross-legged on the ground.

In our place, the average person rarely wears a tunic suit, why, the tunic is the standard shroud for the male deceased. That's for the dead. The paper man Zhang had no scruples, wearing such a dress, and the big night looked extremely gloomy.

He sat there, motionless, contemplating the wooden peg on the offering table.

I hid behind the coffin, and I didn't dare to breathe. The light bulbs on the ceiling swayed with the wires, causing the shadows of the paper figures to dangle on the wall.

Zhang Hong eased up at this time, lay beside me, and also went out to see.

The paper man froze for a moment, moved his shoulders, and then took out a knife from under the table and slashed it at his left index finger. Immediately saw blood. He took a wooden peg, smeared the blood on it, and burned it repeatedly over the flame of the candle.

As soon as he roasted like this, I immediately had a reaction, like falling into an ice cave, and suddenly it seemed like I was drowning in ice water dozens of degrees below zero.

I leaned against the coffin, hugged my shoulders, and felt chills.

Zhang Hong saw that the situation was wrong, and he didn't dare to speak out, so he anxiously gestured and asked me what was wrong.

I couldn't stop shivering, and I curled up on the ground like a prawn. Even so, it was extremely cold.

Zhang Hongdu was about to go crazy, he swept left and right, and saw a wooden barrel of glue on the ground, and he was about to go out when he copied it. I grabbed him with the last of my strength, shook my head, and lip-stomed, calm!

Looking through the gap in the corner of the coffin, the paper figure Zhang held a wooden peg, chanted a curse quickly in his mouth, and burned faster and faster on the flames. I felt my life force dissipate and my consciousness blurred a little bit. The last trace of consciousness still thinks that the paper man Zhang has such a means is really awesome, killing people invisibly. If I just die at home, who knows if he did it.

Zhang Hong really couldn't stand it, and he was going out to play with the paper man Zhang with the wooden barrel.

I don't want to put him in danger. My will to live is not very big, since I was imprisoned, I have become disheartened with life, death is death, I can't drag Zhang Hong into the water.

If I were Zhang Hong, in fact, the best way to deal with it would be to wait until tomorrow morning to call the police, and the police would find my body in Zhang's house, and he would be speechless at that time. It's better than going out and playing for your life now.

I was already on the verge of life and death, and I couldn't speak anymore, so I could only watch Zhang Hong go out.

Zhang Hong flashed and was about to get out from behind the coffin, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the paper man Zhang was suddenly startled and stopped the wooden peg in his hand. As soon as his spell stopped, I suddenly warmed up, although the temperature was still very low, much stronger than just now, and I hummed comfortably.

The paper figure put down the wooden peg, turned around and sat cross-legged, facing the door. Lang Sheng said, "Which friend came to visit so late?" ”

Through the window, you can faintly see the figure of a person outside, which is very blurry.

The man said outside: "Lao Zhang, you can, you have been hiding here incognito for so many years, I have searched all over the country, but I didn't expect you to hide here." You may not know it, this is my hometown, I came back to visit relatives this time, and I accidentally found mana fluctuations, and I found you along the vine, which is really unlucky. ”

The man spoke with a baritone voice, and in Mandarin, which sounded like an announcer.

The paper man had a solemn face: "Who are you?" I'm just a bad old man, making paper people for a living, where do I get any grievances. Did you recognize the wrong person? ”

"Hehe, don't you mention the grievance if you don't want to?" The outsider chuckled.

Zhang Hong and I looked at each other, and the voice of the person who came was not fierce, but every sentence was pressed on the point. It's not like revenge, but it's a bit of a long talk with the paper man.

Paper Man Zhang frowned: "Who are you?" Don't hide your head and tail. Let me tell you, my Lao Zhang is not a person who is afraid of things. I don't want to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid if things find me! ”

Outsider: "Lao Zhang, I have inherited a set of ancient law books in Myanmar, and the black witchcraft on it is unfathomable, and it is said that only a few wizards have practiced it in ancient times." I studied some of them for a while and mastered some of them, but I didn't have the place to try them out. Tonight, the moon stars are scarce, and the flowers are under the moon, why don't we two learn from each other? ”

The paper man said: "It's not a good man's work to hide your head and show your tail, I won't talk to you." Besides, I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't understand what you're saying. You'd better go, if you don't go, I'll call the police! ”

The people outside laughed: "Pretend, pretend, you can see the fire in your house from afar, and you can still hear the sound of your chanting spell on the crack of the door." Who are you harming on the big night? What are you pretending to be innocent?! ”

The figure in the window receded, swaying from side to side, and the man seemed to be preparing something.

The paper man's face was ugly, he stood up, took out all the paper men and paper horses in the house, and placed a pile in front of him to form a guardrail.

He took the three candles on the table and placed them around him in a triangle, and he sat in the middle of it, slashing the palm of his left hand with a knife, and blood flowed outward, everywhere in front of him.

When he finished arranging, the room was suddenly full of ghosts, and the shadows of countless paper figures were reflected on the wall, swaying with the firelight, as if they were real people.

Zhang Hong and I didn't dare to breathe, and watched with bated breath.

At this time, there was a sudden roar of an animal outside the door, and I broke out in a cold sweat.

The voice was extremely brutal, as if it came from a nightmare, and it seemed that only a beast the size of a Tibetan mastiff could roar.

Zhang Hong didn't react, still peeking at the situation outside.

I lowered my voice: "Did you hear an animal bark just now?" ”

Zhang Hong was inexplicable: "What? I didn't hear that. ”

I wondered why only I could hear it.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow appeared in the window, as if a beast was rushing at a very fast speed. The shadow grew bigger and bigger, to the limit, and filled the entire window...... Then a great gust of wind blew up in the room, and it seemed that the beast had broken through the window.

We didn't look at anything, and the windows didn't break. I had a strong feeling that something was indeed coming in.

I smelled a fishy smell, and an invisible wind blew around me, and all the paper men and paper horses were scattered, and the three candles in front of the paper man Zhang swayed from side to side, crumbling to extinguish.

The paper man's face was extremely ugly, and he got up from the ground, trying to escape from the circle of candles.

In the shadows of the flickering flames, an extremely vague shadow was projected, thin and long, still changing in real time, as if there was an invisible cat slowly moving forward, rushing towards the paper figures.

The paper figure jumped out of the circle of candles at great speed, and he took two steps in three steps, and actually ran towards the coffin where we were hiding.

Zhang Hong and I hid behind and looked at each other, extremely nervous.

When the paper man Zhang came to the coffin, he didn't look behind, but hurriedly lifted the lid of the coffin and bent down to go in as if he wanted to take something.

I shuddered, glanced at Zhang Hong, and said, "Up!" ”

Zhang Hong stood up abruptly from behind the coffin, and the paper man Zhang was startled, "You, you ......"

Zhang Hong works all year round, which is also called a farmer, and he has the strength in his body, and he punches the paper man Zhang: "Fuck your uncle!" ”

The paper man Zhang didn't expect that there was still a person hiding behind the coffin, Zhang Hong's punch sealed his eyes, and it hit his right eye socket, and he immediately came with black eyes.

The paper figure took a few steps backwards, sat down, and actually sat down to extinguish one of the candles.

The dark shadow of the big cat on the ground came in an instant, extinguishing the other two candles. The paper man crunched his teeth, looked at me, and suddenly shouted: "By the way, I know you, and you are the one who gave the old Lei family a disgust!" I wish I had killed you earlier, but I didn't expect to be planted in the hands of the rats today! Ah~~~"

He screamed, and four deep bloody holes emerged from his neck. His face turned dark gray as if he had been bitten by something, but we couldn't see it.

His eyes were extremely vicious, and he looked at me tightly, and gradually his feet did not move, his body straightened, and he died on the spot.

Zhang Hong's feet were weak and he pulled my arm tightly. Strange to say, as soon as the paper figure Zhang died, the chill in my whole body suddenly dissipated, and I only felt that the room was stuffy and unbearable, and I was sweating all over my body.

This was supposed to be a fortunate thing, but I saw a pair of strange eyes of the paper man, and my heart felt like a thousand pounds of boulders, and I couldn't go up or down, and it was uncomfortable.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a strong fishy smell came out, and I had a strong feeling that the big cat, which I couldn't see, seemed to be approaching us.

Zhang Hong and I trembled under the strong pressure and didn't dare to move.

The man outside the door asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhang Hong was too frightened to speak, and I reluctantly said, "I, we are villagers." ”

The man chuckled: "If it weren't for you helping me kill Lao Zhang just now, I would have mistakenly thought you were accomplices." If you are an accomplice, you will have to die together today! ”

"No, not an accomplice." My mouth was dry: "Paper Man Zhang used a spell to harm me, and I came here tonight to take revenge." ”

The man recited the spell, and the shadow of the big cat disappeared, presumably to withdraw the spell. He said lightly: "You guys go, where to go back and forth, I won't embarrass you, and don't talk about tonight." ”

Seeing that he was not hostile, Zhang Hong became bold: "Senior, who are you, can you get acquainted?" ”

The man laughed, "You two are really ghosts who don't know how to die." When Lao Zhang died just now, he was angry, his eyes were staring straight at the two of you, he wanted to turn himself into a powerful ghost and haunt you in the future! ”
