Chapter 988: Clues
I looked twice inside the paper shop, and it was like a treasure trove. Except for room after room, and a large number of guards. It's gold and silver.
There are yellow gold ingots, and there are white silver bars. It is stamped with an official seal. There were also boxes of silver bills, bundles of bills. Although I know that these things are fake, I feel very happy to be in them.
I thought to myself, "Good thing these things are fake." Otherwise, I should wonder if the Three Hands had brought me here to steal money. ”
I asked, "How are we going to go along the slopes?" Are you looking for clues here? ”
The three hands did not answer me. He walked up to a paper figure, patted it and said, "This paper figure looks pretty good." Strong build. No cutting corners, do you like it or not? ”
I was stunned: "What do you mean?" Why should I like a paper figure? ”
The three hands laughed and said, "You should think of it as a doll." ”
I wondered, "I don't like dolls either." Moreover, this thing is far from a doll. ”
I haven't figured out what he's going to do. Three hands shoved me, and I stumbled forward, and my body was inside the paper figure.
I feel like the paper figure is a glass cover. Cover my soul inside.
I asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
The three hands smiled and said, "Don't worry, that master appears here frequently." Everything here has a remnant of the soul. Your soul is very weak now, and as long as you stay here honestly, no one will notice. ”
And then. He lifted me up. I put it at the door.
I asked, "What the hell are you going to do?" Can you sue me so that I can have a bottom in my heart? ”
The three hands smiled and said to me: "The first rule of being a thief is to step on the point, know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles." Do you know what the second law is? ”
I shook my head.
Three hands said: "That is, never rely on the information provided to you by others, you must observe it yourself, clear the layers of fog, and find the truth." Because you never know. The information that someone else gives you is not fishing. When you take the bait, you can only rely on your hands and feet to save your life. But at that time, 90 out of 10 people were caught. ”
I grinned: "I'm not a thief, what do you always teach me to do?" ”
The three hands laughed dryly and said, "So what I'm going to do today." I won't sue you. lest you become dependent on me and become a master of a generation. ”
He paused and said, "Although you don't want to be a thief. Of course, I don't want you to do it either. However, these truths are worth hearing. You're lucky today, follow me on a lesson. ”
Then, he burrowed into the paper figure next to him.
The two of us stood here like the doormen in this room.
It's also funny that two thieves are doormen.
I waited for a while, and it was quiet, nothing out of the ordinary. I couldn't help but ask, "How long are we going to wait?" ”
The three hands look at the nose and the nose looks at the heart. replied lightly: "You can't be in a hurry to be a thief. If you're in a hurry, you'll make mistakes. Be patient, be patient. ”
I was about to speak, and the three hands said, "The clue is coming, hold your breath." ”
I don't know how to hold my breath at all. But as he said before. My soul is too weak. It's simply not enough to be discovered.
After a few seconds, I felt a yin aura moving closer to the paper shop. This yin air is cool and swishing, which makes me feel very comfortable.
Then, from inside the doorway, two imps, one fat and one skinny, squeezed in.
The fat ghost looked around, and a greedy look appeared on his face: "Money, so much money." ”
He walked forward step by step, trying to grab the paper money in his hand.
The thin ghost next to him hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Fatty, have you forgotten the rules?" ”
The fat ghost reluctantly retreated and said, "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten, I remember it clearly." Hey, how can there be so many rules? ”
The skinny ghost said, "No way. You can't take the things in the paper shop, otherwise, you can't be overborn. This is a rule set by the gods, and we can't change it. ”
I looked at my three hands suspiciously, and thought, "Is there such a rule?" ”
The three hands didn't speak, just nodded to me. It seems that among the imps, there is indeed such a rule.
But it's right to think about it, if the imps can steal the paper money from the paper shop, then the money will quickly become a piece of waste paper. However, these rules should not have been set by the immortals. Eighty percent is the masterpiece of the people of the underworld.
I walked for a while, waiting for my mind to come back. I heard the thin ghost advising the fat ghost, "We have done this, and the adult promised us that we will not worry about food and drink for the rest of our lives, so why should we take the risk of stealing money from here?" You know, there are gods three feet above our heads, and everything we do is watched. ”
The fat ghost shuddered and said, "What you said is really scary. It was as if there was always a pair of eyes watching me. ”
I thought to myself, "Not one pair of eyes, but two pairs." My three hands and I are watching you. ”
The thin ghost pointed at me and the three hands: "Carry these two paper figures back." After that adult's errand, we don't have to go around begging for money anymore. ”
Then, he took out two silver ingots from his body, put them on the table, and said, "Boss, we bought the paper man, not stolen it." Don't tell the gods about us. ”
I saw that the silver ingot was folded out of tin foil. I thought to myself, "If you pay the boss with this kind of money, he will be half angry when he sees it tomorrow morning." ”
The fat ghost sighed, "Does that adult's words count?" Don't wait for us to work hard to carry the paper figure back, only to see him gone. ”
The thin man lifted me up and said, "What are you afraid of?" It's just two paper figures, and it's not tired. ”
The fat man agreed, and went to carry three hands. After he lifted the paper figure up, he panted and said, "Why aren't you tired?" I felt very tired. ”
The thin man said lightly: "Don't complain. In no time you can put the paper figure down. ”
They led the two of us out of the empty house and walked slowly down the street.
The thin man's shoulders are very thin, and my waist hurts a little. But I didn't dare to move.
I wondered in my heart: "These two ghosts are obviously just ordinary imps." Where's the big one? ”
I thought about it for a while, and then it dawned on me: "I understand." That big master should be the master in their mouths. Presumably, the lord came here first, and then sent the two of them here to pick up the paper. ”
The two ghosts led us all the way to the edge of Huaicheng. I thought we were going to the suburbs. Who knew that the two of them took us to an unfinished building.
Halfway through the building's construction, work was suddenly stopped. And then thrown here. Overgrown with weeds.
The imp carried the two of us all the way to the basement.
The basement is eerie and spacious. If you live in such a place, it should be more comfortable than a grave.
When I thought of this, I quickly interrupted my thinking: I am only in my twenties, and my days are still long. What do you want to do in the cemetery in a hurry?
I saw a lot of fire in the basement. When I got closer, I realized. There are a lot of paper figurines here, and they stand here like terracotta warriors, each holding a candle in their hand.
The imp led us through the paper figures, and I felt my eyes go a little dazed: "What the hell is this place?" What the hell is that adult going to do when he gathers so many paper figures? ”
Suddenly, I saw the name written on the back of the paper figure. It is an extremely scribbled line of calligraphy. But the little ghost walked so fast that I only had time to see that it seemed to be written on it.
I wondered, "Whose birthday is this?" Does anyone want to use the paper figure method? ”
The imp carried me all the way over, and I looked all the way through. I noticed that every paper figure seemed to have eight characters written on the back. And these paper figures don't seem to be standing on the ground at random. They work in groups of several and form a little gossip. The small gossip in turn makes up the big gossip. Hugh Ji number.
Suddenly, I heard a majestic voice: "Are you back?" ”
The sound made my heart tighten. Because I heard that he was the official in the temple of the City God. That's the murderer behind me who has been chasing me these days.
I secretly complained in my heart: "The three hands have sent me to the enemy's mouth." ”
