The moonlight was shining, but the light in the barracks was still dim.

Boys and girls made of paper figurines stand on either side of the road, stiff smiles painted on their faces, and their lifeless eyes are clearly painted, but they give the illusion that they are staring at them.

Perhaps, of course...... It's also possible that it wasn't their delusion.

The soldiers were blocked in the middle of the road, one in front of the other and one in the back, unable to advance or retreat.

The children's singing ceased, the bells that had been "jingling" ceased to ring, and the atmosphere returned to its original silence, and as time passed, it gradually became stagnant, like the sea, silently over their heads, leaving them breathless.

Soldier A stared at the smirking boy holding the hydrangea at the back of the road, his hand holding the gun trembling uncontrollably, and the cold sweat from fear slowly soaked the clothes behind his back.

Although during this period, he has been admonishing himself not to be afraid, but the fear of the unknown in human instinct still makes him feel an unspeakable tremble.

The reason why the other soldiers seemed to be barely calm was because the two paper figures dressed as children really stayed in place like paper figures after singing the ballad, so they were able to breathe and relax their tense nerves a little.

Although it is precisely because of this that there is not much real relaxation, but the brain, which has been in fear all the time, has relaxed a little and can start to think properly.

"You...... You said...... These two kids...... Is it a human or a ghost? Soldier B struggled to overcome his fear and asked in a low voice, "Shall we run or shall we run?" ”

"Then where do you say you're going?" Soldier A steadied his trembling hands, forced his muzzle to aim as much as he could, gritted the back of his teeth, and said, "There's no other way, they deliberately stood here to block the road...... They want to consume us here! ”

Soldier B: "But ......"

"Don't think so much about it at this time, first stabilize your hands with guns! Be careful not to go off! ”

Although the veterans were also panicked, he was the oldest, the most senior, and the captain of these soldiers.

So even when he encountered such a strange thing, he still swallowed his saliva to calm down, thinking about the meaning of why these two paper figures appeared here, and on the other hand, comforting the nervous soldiers beside him.

"These two paper figures are not moving now, and it seems that they will only react when we trigger some special conditions, so everyone should stabilize their minds now and don't mess with themselves."

The veteran turned his head and whispered to a few people: "Those with guns in their hands should be careful, don't aim the muzzle of the gun at their accomplices, I will take the lead in a while, and find a way to leave this road first." ”

"So where are we going to run after we leave?" Soldier B took a deep breath and clenched his grip on the gun, not intending to drop the chain any longer, "If you don't solve them and leave them alone, they won't follow." ”

"I don't know, but anyway, run to a crowded place, which is the dormitory." The veteran shook his head, his gaze becoming firmer, "Anyway, I'll be responsible for firing the first shot if they make any changes, and if the bullets work, we'll shoot them." ”

Everyone: "............"

Everyone was stunned, and immediately understood that the veteran was going to be a leading bird in order to create opportunities for them!

"What if the bullet doesn't work?" Soldier B bit his lower lip and was silent for a second, "Captain, do you want us to leave you and run away!" ”

"Now is not the time to say such things!" The veteran reprimanded in a low voice, with a slight anger in his voice, "If you can run, run quickly, if you call the rescuers to help earlier, Lao Tzu may be slightly injured by then, it is better than you staying and dying together!" ”

Soldier B: "......"

"The captain has a point."

Soldier A spoke up and stopped Soldier B's unspoken words, and stopped talking to the other soldiers, "No matter what, we should have encountered an unexpected situation now, and the most rational thing to do is to go to the large army to seek rescue." ”

Everyone: "............"

Although he was unwilling, the reason given by soldier B was reasonable, and everyone was not a child, but a soldier who was responsible for guarding the country, although they were all inexperienced recruits, but they also knew which was more important, so they didn't say more, just gritted their teeth and nodded, clenched the guns in their hands and waited for the veteran's instructions.

Veteran: "............"

The veteran took a deep breath and nodded: "Action." ”

The rest of the people didn't speak, but they just clenched their guns and aimed at the paper figures on both sides of the road, and slowly walked in the direction of the boys, the road that the main army must pass.

Paper Man: "............"

"Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle bells! ”

However, the soldiers had not taken a few steps when the hydrangea in the boy's hand suddenly trembled violently, and the bell above it made a rhythmless noise.

At first, it wasn't too loud, but as the crowd progressed, it grew louder and more manic, with a deep hysteria that made its sharpest sound in the silence of the night.

So much so that the sound of metal impact is more like the terrible screams and wails of human beings in near-death pain...... No, not like!

That's the screams and wails that humans make when they are dying!

Not a delusion, not an auditory hallucination!

It's the ball!

It's the ball that's really making human screams!!

The eyes of the crowd looking at the paper figure and the hydrangea became more and more frightened, and they stiffened their limbs and moved forward in fear, unconsciously allowing panic and fear to erode what was left of their minds!

"Bang!"

It was the sound of a veteran shooting.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they came back to their senses at the second and third gunshots, and then noticed that the bullets whizzing by, in the short time they were stunned, shot through the delicate face of the paper figure one after another.

But it didn't work, and the boy's paper figure didn't fall to the ground because of the bullet.

On the contrary, the originally delicate face, because of the destroyed relationship, has become more terrifying and creabling, not to mention, as if it has come back to life because of this!

The limbs stiffened, the joints twisted, and little by little moved in the direction of the soldiers in a method of movement that was extremely inconsistent with human action.

And the weirdest thing is that even so, the hydrangea in the boy's hand is still ringing!

As the voice intensified, it even seemed to come to life, jumping up from the boy's hand, and with a swift and impatient momentum, he slammed in the direction of everyone.

"It's now! Come on! ”

The veteran shouted, and then another bullet was fired at the hydrangea, but this time, because he was so frightened, the shot missed the head and did not hit the hydrangea.

But this shot rang in everyone's minds like an alarm bell, and although several people were already scared stupid by now, fortunately, they did not stay in place, but still remembered the plan, and shouted in panic while rushing in the direction behind the boy without hesitation.
