Chapter 10: Chased
The man did not draw the scoop according to the gourd, and used blood to draw the lips of the paper man, but pushed away the people, walked to the side of the coffee table, and lifted the white cloth on the coffee table.
There is a model of a house type on the coffee table, which is a very old house type, in the shape of a courtyard house, divided into front and back doors, and each house inside is very realistic.
"You move it outside."
The man gave the order to the paper figure, and the paper figure circled the model and carried the things outside together.
At this moment, the sky outside is already completely dark.
The man followed.
I didn't know what he was going to do, but there was always a feeling that told me I couldn't let him find out I existed.
But all exits to this place are sealed except for the window and gate from which I came.
So I can only wait for the moment.
I finally waited until the man walked into the yard.
There were half-human-tall trees around the yard, and I looked at the location of the window and thought that I should not be noticed, so I jumped out of there.
I didn't know that when I went out, I saw a pair of shiny leather shoes appear in front of me.
I followed the leather shoes all the way up, and I saw the man's pale face.
He looked at me condescendingly, half-bowed, and there were three pairs of paper figures, all around me.
"Coming back?" The man ordered to the paper figure beside him, "Catch her." ”
"Help—"
I didn't have time to remember what it meant to be back, so I yelled for help, stood up, pushed the paper figure away, and ran forward.
When I ran out of the yard, I turned around and saw that the man did not come to chase me personally, but commanded the paper man and grabbed me, as if he was sure that I would not be able to escape.
He slowly took out a lighter from his pocket and lit two pairs of paper figures, and the flames were instantly engulfed.
But the paper figurines that were ignited did not fall to the ground as ashes, but were all sucked into the model of the house.
Scattered in four different places.
"What kind of ritual is this?"
I crossed a sentence in my head, but I didn't think much about it, because the rest of the paper figures were chasing me behind my back.
I screamed in fright, rushed to the side of the car, opened the door and got in, started the car, slammed on the accelerator, and rushed out.
Those paper figures are obviously made of paper, but the speed is no slower than that of a car.
Seeing that I was about to catch up, and there was no one on the road at that time, I was in a hurry, stepped on the accelerator hard, and increased the speed.
Unbeknownst to him, when he looked up, a young man suddenly stood in front of the car.
When I found out, it was too late, and even if I pressed the brakes hard, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to catch up, so I had to turn the steering wheel, slow down, and turn elsewhere.
But who knows, one of the paper figures actually climbed in through the co-pilot's unclosed window at this time.
A little red eyeball flashed, and it grabbed my steering wheel, turned to the left, and hit the person in front of me again.
"Get out of the way!"
I yelled, my foot slammed on the brakes, and the tires streaked across the ground for a long stretch of road, leaving deep tire marks.
The man walked in the darkness and didn't seem to hear my shouts.
Eventually, with a bang, the car hit something in front of it and stopped.
I also bumped back and forth due to inertia, and before I could calm down, my neck tightened.
The paper man grabbed my neck, and the hand made of paper was as strong as a human at that moment.
I said in my heart, do you want to plant it this time?
Or is it planted in the hands of a paper figure that I tie?
Inexplicably, I suddenly remembered what my grandmother said before, that after 18 years, there will be a catastrophe.
Now, with a few months to go before my birthday, will the catastrophe be brought forward?
I tugged at the hands on my neck, my breath became faint little by little, and just when I was unconscious, the sharp and piercing sound of a blow to the sky sounded in my ears.
With a "squeak", accompanied by a wave of light, it emanated from my body and hit the paper man, knocking the paper man away.
It fell into mid-air and shattered into powder.
"Ahem, ahem—"
I recovered from the suffocation, and the sharp voice kept ringing, and I realized that it was the sarcoma suona in my bag.
It was it that saved me.
"Your suona, where did it come from?"
As I gasped for breath, a nice low voice sounded out of the car window behind me.
I slammed my spirit, got up and shrank to the side, but I saw a good-looking man standing outside the car.
He put one hand in his trouser pocket, looked at me, and carried a paper figure in the other, and with five fingers, the paper figure was like glass, and it was directly shattered into powder.
I looked at him in a daze, and didn't react for a while, what he meant by this.
At this time, the paper figures caught up again, I put down my hand, said "I'm sorry" to the man casually, stepped on the accelerator again, and the car drove forward.
In the rear mirror, the paper figures were still chasing after them, and as for the man, he disappeared.
I didn't pay attention to his appearance, and continued to run for my life.
Soon, I found that the paper people chasing me were all over Huaiyin Road.
At first, I saw one and ran into it and crushed one.
I crushed four of them in a row, and then I found that I couldn't walk out of this Huaiyin Road.
This Huaiyin Road is an old street, the place is not big, but there are more alleys, I follow the road when I came, all the way to the exit, but it is clear to the intersection where I should leave, after driving over, I will find that I am back on the main road of Huaiyin Road.
And the main road, where it stops is different every time.
There are billboards on both sides, and one of them is very conspicuous because of the drawing of a tree branch on it.
The colorful branches, at first glance, look like an infinite loop icon.
Bright and dangling to one side, crumbling.
And one of the remaining paper figures stood on the side of the dark road, smiling at me.
As if I knew I was going to be there.
Because I didn't want to be wiped out, I used a strategy.
But paper people don't have thoughts.
At that moment, I had hairs on my back.
The dark summer night began to fill with smoke, and there was not a single light on either side of the empty street.
The buildings seem to have been abandoned for a long time, and there is no trace of popularity, even the people who burned paper money on the side of the road when I first came here are gone.
"It won't be so evil!"
I took a deep breath and raised my hand to wipe my forehead, a thin layer of sweat on the back of my hand.
I took out my phone and looked at the time, obviously it was only less than eight o'clock in the evening, but the night was the same as the child's hour.
And the moon overhead has also reached the point of the moon in the middle of the sky, which clearly does not match the time of the mobile phone.
I wanted to call Lu Blind, but found that there was no signal.
"Today, I couldn't find a place, then I saw the man catalyzing the paper man, and then I couldn't get out, and my phone didn't have a signal. Could it be that the man deliberately lured me here? ”
I inexplicably remembered that when the man came to the coffin shop yesterday, he pointed out that the person he was looking for was not Lu Blind.
But generally the guests who come to order are basically looking for Lu Blind.
Plus what the man said to me later, that sentence came back.
It's clear that I'm going to go and come back.
My back was cold.
I remembered again that after I received this strange man's paper figure order, I met a young man holding a red umbrella.
He told me not to take the business, and the deposit I received was burned, but I didn't agree.
But at the moment—
I reached into my pocket, and by the light of my phone, I could see the balance of the money the strange man had given me.
A stack of Stygian coins.
The face value is 100 yuan.
