Chapter 7: The Devil's Invitation

I was so frightened that I hurriedly retreated, and the voice was like singing, sharp and thin.

At this time, the paper man's face was particularly weird, the blushes on both sides were red, and the corners of his mouth were drawn in an arc, keeping the appearance of laughing.

What's even more bizarre is that it actually moved, its hand on the door, and made a sound of breaking bamboo, "Click, click..."

"Who's pretending?"

I shouted out loudly, because I had met classmates at school who had opinions about me, pretending to be ghosts to scare me, because I had him punished by the school, and the people in the village also talked about me during this time, so this time I still felt that someone was playing tricks on me.

"It's a bad temper, but I like it."

This sentence is the paper man who didn't make a sound just now, and I didn't throw it out, I quickly turned around, and he was right in front of me, which scared me so much that I hurriedly retreated, and almost fell.

They came slowly to me in a strange and uncoordinated walking position, and I was too frightened to come out, and another paper figure had a big hole in its belly, which I had turned over with a tape recorder.

"What for?"

"Little doll, you really have the guts, aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid, of course afraid, so are you human or ghost?"

"Tut-tut, I'm afraid I'm still so arrogant and ruin my stomach, don't you know that I'm a popular celebrity? Oops, I feel distressed. ”

"I'm a popular supporting actor, you offend our famous character, you have to pay the price!"

I looked at them suspiciously? I don't believe that there are so many strange phenomena just to introduce myself.

"What do you want, and at what cost?"

"Don't panic, we're here to deliver invitations."

"Yes, yes, we're here to deliver invitations."

"Get out, you're a supporting role, and you still want to grab the lines."

"Humph! I sing better than you, I will definitely replace you one day, and I will definitely become a famous actor. ”

"Okay, I'll be pitiful to you and give you a corner, but you are calculating me like this behind your back."

I heard the sound of scolding each other in an instant, but it was still sharp, so what are these two paper people?

I didn't notice me while they were arguing, and hurried into the house, and closed the door, and I felt that it was all a dream, because it was the dream that happened so strangely.

But after closing the door, I turned around and a child paper figure looked at me with his fixed smile, and my heart was furious, why was there another one in the house.

It stretched out its stiff hand and handed out a bloody piece of paper for me to catch, and the moment I caught it, from the tip of my toe to the tip of my hair, this piece of paper was slippery, soft, and felt a bit like human skin.

"Five days later, at midnight on a cloudy day, under the old locust tree, the troupe prepared by the Hades Corpse King, you must go."

"Something to do with me?"

The boy smiled grimly at me, but instead of answering me, it walked up to me as it closed the door, and a strange and uncoordinated movement appeared, and the door rattled slightly.

After the door opened, the paper people in the yard were still fighting for fame and arguing, and the twitter sounded a little annoying, and the frequency was very fast, and I didn't know what they were arguing about.

"You two, it's time to disappear!"

The child's paper figure spoke softly and slowly, but with a strong sense of oppression, the two paper figures in the yard changed strange movements in front of my eyes.

Then, after a while, I was pressed by something like gravity, and as I pressed down, I could clearly hear the sound of begging for mercy and the sound of bones crushing, which slowly turned into a shapeless mass of shredded paper, igniting green-blue flames.

I heard their voices of regret and kept begging for mercy, but my body froze in place, unable to move, as if it had all been done for me.

The paper figure still looked back at me grimly, and then it made a gesture of its hand.

"Anseong! Come with me. ”

This is my father's name, my eyes rolled, and I saw my father coming out of the coffin, his body was vaguely transparent, this thought was my father's soul, he looked at me expressionlessly, followed the child, walked through the yard, and left my sight.

I was only able to move after they left, I took a big breath of fresh air, and touched my limbs in horror, but fortunately, they were all there.

Tremblingly, I went to close the doors one by one, and returned to my father's coffin, eager to open it and check it, but I never had the courage to step forward.

I rummaged through the unburned paper money in the brazier, took out the lighter, and shook it several times but it still didn't light it, the cold sweat on my face kept flowing, and I was really scared.

"Sister!"

Suddenly, I was so frightened that I instinctively threw the lighter out, and my heart was about to jump out.

When I turned around and saw that it was An Xiaodou, I slowly calmed down.

"An Xiaodou, you scared me to death." When I made a sound, I realized that my voice was shaking.

"Sister, there is a ghost who wants to take me to the play, I'm afraid, I can't sleep in the room."

My head is blowing up, what the hell is going on? He's so young, how could he have encountered such a thing?

An Xiaodou threw herself into my arms, and I squatted on the ground and almost fell.

An Xiaodou held up the paper called an invitation like me, and at the foot was two words "Notes," just two simple words, but there was a chill.

"Well, you see it's almost dawn now, where are the ghosts, they will be buried after dawn, and they will be fine."

I comforted him like this, but I couldn't figure it out in my heart.

Eventually, the day came, and the long-lost light appeared, so I went to wash up, and I was supposed to go with the people who were buried, but my grandmother said that maybe my father didn't want to see me, so he left me at home.

Maybe my grandmother saw my severe dark circles and wanted me to take a break, but I didn't refuse and took a good rest at home.

In a daze, I heard a slow and a quick knock on the door, and I was still asleep, so I really didn't want to get up, so I covered my head under the quilt and fell asleep again.

But the sound grew louder and louder, as if it was knocking on my eardrums, and I felt like I was about to bleed my eardrums, so I hurried up and ran down to open the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a mother-in-law, there was absolutely no such person in the village, her face was full of folds, her body was rickety, she was wearing dark blue clothes and pants, she felt a little thick, and I was a little familiar with this mother-in-law and a little afraid.

I didn't know what was going on, but I had the courage to whisper.

"Mother-in-law, who are you looking for?"

"I've come to my granddaughter, a girl in a sackcloth robe, about the same age as you, with big eyes, a beautiful person, and a hat in sackcloth."

I followed her description and thought for a moment, Mai robe? Except for Joan, there is no more, but Joan is dirty, her eyes are scarlet, and she can't tell if she is beautiful or not, and the main thing is that Joan came to announce her death to me, and she is not human, so she has not seen it.

"Mother-in-law, I haven't seen this person in this village, now people are wearing flower shirts, no one is wearing the clothes you described, if you look for it again, there will definitely be no one in our village."
