Oh, my old mother who is far away in heaven, and I am your unsuccessful son...... You may be going to die here tonight!

In a panic, Soldier B had silently figured out the next way to die for his brain - he was killed by the neck twist of the paper figure pretending to be a girl lying behind him.

If he could, Soldier B really wanted to just roll his eyes and go straight to it, although it may not solve the problem, but it can escape the reality for a while.

Even if it may come at the cost of dying in a dream, it is at least the fear of escaping, so that even if you lose your life, you won't be too desperate.

At least not like it is now......

"Little-brother-brother-"

The short ballad ended again, and the girl's voice sounded again, but the voice that should have belonged to a child's immature and crisp voice was like a spell in the ears of Soldier B at this moment, with a bit of inexplicable stickiness and coldness.

It's so fucking exciting!

Soldier B was desperate and frightened, his eyes widened in horror, and he wanted to cry without tears.

But just as I wanted to pretend that I didn't hear anything, I was so passive that I could drag on for a second, when I suddenly felt that my neck was tightening little by little, and I couldn't help but let out a short scream.

There was silence for a moment, but then the girl lying on Soldier B's back let out a lively chuckle, but this time she was not singing any songs, but instead stretched out a hand and pointed to the paper figure pretending to be a boy in front of Soldier B, and said crisply, "Brother." ”

Soldier B: "...... Alas? ”

Soldier B made a puzzled sound, but the girl lying on his back did not speak, but moved her finger and pointed to the burning hydrangea, and said crisply, "Daddy, Mommy." ”

Soldier B murmured bitterly, "Daddy...... Mom, Mom? ”

It's hard, isn't it really what he thinks...... Could that hydrangea be ......

Soldier B was stunned, he looked at the hydrangea in front of him in a daze, and while his voice softened, he also gasped.

A horrible thought flashed and vanished through his mind, but the horror that lingered made him instinctively open his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

But the paper man who was dressed as a girl didn't care about his loss of shape at this time, but after pointing at the hydrangea, his wrist stiffly turned and pointed at Soldier B...... More precisely, it refers to himself lying on the back of Soldier B.

"Sister."

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

Anyway, death is coming, so he boldly guesses...... I'm afraid you're going to ask your brother next......

"So......" The girl suddenly lowered her voice and asked softly, "What about my brother?" ”

Soldier B almost didn't vomit blood: "............"

You really asked my brother!!

Wait, she's been calling his little brother before...... She doesn't want him to be her brother, do you?!

Thinking about it carefully, it was so terrifying that at that moment, Soldier B couldn't help but start thinking about his future ending, whether it was better to be a brother to the paper man, or better to die.

…… Although it's obviously not a good ending, I always feel that the latter has a happier ending than the former, what's going on?!

"My brother and I can't find him." The girl tightened her arms again, and the moment the paper body came into contact with the skin, Soldier B felt a chill rush up her neck, "Little brother—do you know where our brother is?" ”

"I, I don't know! I don't know about your brother! Hasn't he been singing mountain songs?! ”

Soldier B let out a pitiful whimper, he trembled like chaff, and was about to collapse: "Please, don't scare me like this anymore, kill the ......"

He even used honorifics.

"Can't you just give me a good time!"

Cutting meat with a blunt knife all the time...... It's so torturous! His fragile heart couldn't bear the constant fright!

Paper Man: "......"

Wow, I don't know if you're afraid of death or not.

“…… Why do you say you don't know? ”

The paper man paused, and his tone suddenly became strange, and he couldn't tell whether it was temptation or malice.

"It's clear that the soldiers took the elder brother."

"No, no, impossible!" Soldier B shook his head like a rattle, and he screamed uncontrollably, "We haven't seen your brother yet!" ”

Paper Man: "......"

"Wrong."

Once again, the eerie hydrangea let out a deformed scream and wail, mixed with the disgruntled voice of the paper figure dressed as a girl.

"And big brother—"

The paper figure dressed as a girl said word by word.

"You're really here, you're too noisy."

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

That's great...... My life is finally over!

But unexpectedly, the paper figure dressed as a girl did not kill Soldier B, but fell lightly from Soldier B's back.

"Liar."

The paper figure playing the girl makes the final verdict.

Then, just like the paper figure pretending to be a boy before, a blue flame suddenly ignited from the inside out!

There was a faint fragrance in the air at some point, and it smelled sweet.

But Soldier B didn't have the energy to pay attention to this, he just looked at the paper figure in front of him in horror, not knowing what kind of demon it was going to do, and at the same time, he felt that his brain suddenly ached violently!

It's like someone has chiseled his heavenly spirit cover with an awl!

His eyes were black, and he wanted to scream, but he couldn't make the slightest sound, and he was obviously gasping for air, but it seemed to be as uncomfortable as if he was deprived of oxygen.

In a trance, I only felt that the world was spinning, and I was getting closer and closer to the ground.

"Boom."

He fainted.

*

Although Soldier B fainted and fell to the ground unconscious, the screen did not dim because of this.

Instead, after rotating in one direction, the camera quickly shifted from Soldier B to the side of the road, and I don't know when, but the soldiers fainted on the ground like Soldier B.

In fact, if it weren't for the camera giving a big close-up so that the audience could see the soldiers' chests rising and falling, the audience's first reaction would be that the gang might be dead, and they would not make a judgment that they are still alive.

In silence, after everyone took a deep breath and slightly relieved some of the fear they felt when watching the movie, they began to discuss the plot played on the screen with the people around them.

"Hmm...... So why did they faint too? What's going on? ”

Some people couldn't figure it out, looking at the screen and just behaving as a "lying corpse" soldier looked confused.

"Actually, I thought those two paper figures were going to kill them......"

"Yes...... I used to think so, after all, those two paper figures gave me the feeling that it didn't look like some kind of good stubble that would let people go. ”

The man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then licked his dry lips, and paused before continuing.

"But, to be honest, I know too well, and I can see the plot in a fog...... But I guess that's the ability of those two paper figures, right? ”

"Maybe it's the kind of slow and painful way to die," he said...... In short, I don't think they're alive now, stronger than dead. ”

"So, it does seem like that!"

Someone chimed in, and then took the opportunity to bring up what he had noticed.

"After all, you've all seen it, and when the paper figure pretending to be a girl reaches out and points to the hydrangea, it's Mom and Dad, and combined with the song they sang before......"

[It's the ball bone that my father made for us. 】

[It's the jersey that my mother sewed for us. 】

Everyone: "......"

"That's right." The man nodded, forcibly suppressing the horror in his heart, and the trembling in his voice, and continued with a serious expression: "I suspect that this ballad has always implied that the so-called hydrangea is actually a toy made from Dad's bones and Mom's skin......"

Everyone: "......"

Lying in the groove, thinking about it is very scary...... Do you have goosebumps?

The audience in front of the screen gathered together to discuss, although because of the previous plot, their faces still had fear, but after all, there was still a thin screen and a thick dimension.

Although he was a bystander, he always stood in a place of absolute safety.

So even if they were frightened by those terrifying episodes because they had never seen the world, compared to those soldiers who were immersed in the scene, the stimulation they felt was only to the extent that they made them scream, not that they rolled their eyes and fainted.

Belch...... Although it can't be said that no one has fainted at all, for example-

【Fish-Man Island - Dragon Palace Kingdom - Dragon Palace City - Hard Shell Tower】

"Wow, a

Shirahoshi covered his eyes, crying in fright at what was on the screen.

"Father! Brother Jiaoxing!! Where are you? Shirahoshi is so scared!! ”

"Her Royal Highness Princess Shirahoshi?! Your Royal Highness Princess Shirahoshi, don't be afraid! We're here to protect you!! And His Highness Jiaoxing, he is already on his way here! Soon to arrive! ”

The guards held weapons and surrounded Princess Shirahoshi, panicking and comforting the crying Shirahoshi, but because of their clumsiness, they always missed the point.

In addition, at this time, huge axes and hammers continued to fly from a distance and smash into the hard-shell tower, making a "knock-dong-dong" hammering sound, which made this empty and terrifying stone tower even more terrifying.

Although Princess Shirahoshi has long been accustomed to this, and has also learned to be patient.

But from the day the screen began to play, unprepared to the tip of the dark iceberg of this world, after seeing the cruelty in it, Shirahoshi, who has always been kind and innocent, couldn't help but feel even more terrified of everything outside this hard-shell tower.

Even if I keep telling myself in my heart to be strong and not to be afraid, there are still times when I can't help it-especially, after the screen deliberately renders the camera picture terrifying and weird in order to achieve the purpose of being scary, and even matches it with a terrible BGM, which further deepens the audience's fear and makes it nervous-

"Let's worry you...... I'm sorry everyone, but it's so scary!! ”

Tears rolled down Shirahoshi's face in large chunks, and she wanted to close her eyes and stop looking.

But the screen, which is not in line with science at first glance, but is a product of metaphysics, will not disappear because of this, but directly appears in her mind, thus deepening the viewing effect in another sense, allowing Shirahoshi to more deeply appreciate the charm of horror movies.

Especially when the paper figure on the screen began to hum nursery rhymes, and the hydrangea began to scream and wail, Bai Xing, who had never seen this kind of battle, was directly stunned by the three-hundred-and-sixty-degree three-dimensional surround playback effect.

Guards: "!! ”

"Someone! Her Royal Highness Princess Baixing was frightened and fainted! Come on! Doctor! Where is the doctor?!! Doctor!! ”

The guards were panicked, although they were also very scared, but their worries about Princess Shirahoshi suppressed their fear and gained the upper hand!

"Your Royal Highness Princess Shirahoshi, you must hold on! Don't be fine! We are already in contact with the doctor and she will be there soon! And His Highness Jiaoxing is also coming soon! Your Royal Highness Princess Shirahoshi, please cheer up!! ”

Another example –

[Winter Island - a nameless country - the nameless castle on the highest peak of the Iron Bucket Mountain]

"Ahhh It's a ghost!! What the hell!! The paper man is moving, run, ahh ”

A reindeer with a pink hat and a blue nose screams as they run around the empty castle.

It's like looking for a place to hide, constantly digging into the cupboard, under the bed, under the bed, and under the bed, trying to pick out a place that can bring a sense of security.

But the screen is everywhere, so often when the reindeer just gets in, it has to get out of those hiding places because of the fear of being alone.

"Ahhhh Doctor Greva, help! Ghosts! Ghosts! There are ghosts everywhere in the castle, wow, wow, wow!! ”

"Alas, Chopper...... That's just something that's playing on the screen, so you calm down. ”

Obviously he was 139 years old, but his figure was still so good that the doctor named Gureva sighed and put the sunglasses on his head that he wore on his eyes.

"Anyway...... Chopper, do you remember today as the day of purchasing? ”

Gureva looked at Chopper, who was scurrying around the castle, and even getting bigger and smaller because of the fright, with a helpless face.

"If you delay like this, it's only the middle of the night when you come back? I remember you still have a batch of herbs to be processed by tomorrow morning......

"Uh-huh! But, but ...... Not! There are ghosts! It's scary......"

Chopper's shouting came to an abrupt end, causing the empty castle to fall silent suddenly.

“…… What's wrong? Finally realized that those are all on the screen, so it can't hurt you? ”

“…………”

After not receiving a reply for a long time, Gureva sensed that something was wrong, so she saw half of the book in her hand and got up to check it.

"Hey, Chopper...... Chopper? ”

Gureva wandered the empty castle, rummaging through the empty rooms, calling out Chopper's name in an attempt to get a response.

It wasn't until she saw the familiar hat under a collapsed bookshelf, and the familiar antlers—

Grueva: "............"

Tut......

Is it really a useless little ghost, just sitting in a chair and watching this kind of movie will be scared and fainted? Really...... It's still daytime, and it's really useless stupid son......

"Hey, Chopper, wake up."

Shaking her head helplessly, Gureva reached out and dragged Chopper, who had been knocked out by the bookshelf, and walked outside the castle, "If you continue to sleep like this, you won't be able to get back to the castle before dark, Chopper......"

Another example -

[East China Sea - Windmill Village - House of Bandits. 】

"Ahhh Boss Dadan?!! ”

"What should I do?! Boss Dadan fainted!! Who's going to find the doctor!! ”

Facing Dadan who fell to the floor with mosquito coil eyes, the little brother of the thieves screamed in panic and made a mess!

"Is the curse of the paper man so terrifying that it can affect people even through the screen?! It's terrible! Aren't we cursed too?!! ”

- This is a stupid bandit with a big brain.

"Hahaha, that paper figure is so interesting, it will be on fire, it's so handsome! I really want to catch them back and raise them! ”

- This is a straw hat fool with a clear brain.

"Luffy, you idiot! Don't catch this weird thing and raise it! And also! Get someone to call the doctor! Boss Dadan is still dizzy!! ”

- This is an ordinary bandit with a normal brain.

"Ah......h It's no problem to go, but can you go with a few more people? Of course, I'm not scared of what's on the screen! But I think it's safer to go with more people......"

- This is a cowardly thief with a normal brain.

"Hahahaha, deceit, uncle, you're obviously scared, hahahaha."

"No, no! Luffy, don't talk nonsense! ”

"Slightly, I didn't talk nonsense, it's obviously a coward uncle, hahahaha!"

"Luffy !!"

……

…………

Hmph, it's just a bunch of stupid people.
