Chapter Forty-Eight: The Paper Man Boy
I don't know where a cold wind blew, which made Zhan Jingyi's goosebumps stand up all over his body.
When he woke up from a cold war, he suddenly found himself standing in the room, shouldn't he be in bed? When I looked up, I saw that it was the mirror of the dresser on the other side
Zhan Jingyi touched his nose, didn't he sleep? Why are you standing here again?
Suddenly, he saw that he in the mirror actually began to decompose little by little, slowly turning into a rotting corpse, but there was still a strange smile on his face, which made him only feel a tingling on his scalp.
What the heck? Did you hallucinate?
Or did you encounter something yourself?
The next moment, Zhan Jingyi's pupils tightened, and in his black pupils, a rotten palm was reflected, sticking out of the mirror, making his eyes dim instantly.
"Ahh ……
Zhan Jingyi sat up sweating profusely, saw that he was still sitting on the bed, touched the sweat on his head, and was surprised to find that it was a dream he had just now.
How long has it been since I've had a nightmare like this? Could this be some kind of omen?
……
"Jingle Bell ......"
At this time, there seemed to be a bell in the distance, and this bell interrupted Zhan Jingyi's thoughts.
Zhan Jingyi's ears moved, how could there be a bell ringing in the middle of the night, is there something going to happen again?
Dressed in the clothes sent by the young man, he came to the window, quietly pushed the window open a small gap, and looked out.
The room he lived in was on the second floor of the small building, just on the edge of the courtyard wall, and he had seen it before he went to bed, and beyond the courtyard wall seemed to be a large river, because the sound of water waves could be heard not far away from the room.
And the eaglet knife perched on a big tree near the big river, and seemed to feel his breath, and the eaglet not far from the window also "cooed" a few times.
Ignoring Kitty Hawk's greeting, the bells in the distance were getting closer and closer, and Zhan Jingyi faintly seemed to see two figures in the distance with the help of the moonlight.
"Someone!"
Zhan Jingyi's eyes lit up, and when he was about to take a closer look, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, there was a river outside.
How can there be people on the river? Is it standing on a boat? Because it's dark, you can't see clearly?
And, although it is not very clear in the moonlight, it does not seem that the two figures look like adults.
What's more, they don't seem to be standing on a boat, but as if they're suspended in mid-air......
In mid-air, a man and a woman looked like seven or eight years old, both combing their braids, their little red faces, grinning and revealing a pair of small tiger teeth, looking handsome and cute.
So weird? Did you encounter something unclean?
Or is there really a ghost in this world?
But when Zhan Jingyi took a closer look, under the illumination of the surrounding moonlight, there were actually their shadows on the calm and waveless lake.
Shadows? Then it's not a ghost, so who are these two boys?
Zhan Jingyi's pupils tightened, and he quickly beckoned the little eagle knife over, and closed the window with the little eagle knife, leaving only a slightly inconspicuous gap.
Crawl down, hide your figure as much as you can, and peek through the gap in the window you left behind.
These two boy-like children, holding a flower basket in their hands and a pair of bells hanging on their feet, grabbed a handful of white paper from the flower basket and sprinkled it down while walking.
In the blink of an eye, the entire lake was sprinkled, and the white dark money, under the strange moonlight around it, looked indescribably weird.
The two boys were scattering paper money in front, and there were bursts of gongs and drums behind them, and the low suona played the music, the rhythm of the song sounded fast, but it did give people a sense of lifelessness.
Zhan Jingyi had heard this kind of song before, like mourning music played at a funeral at home.
Immediately afterwards, a black boxy sedan chair, carried by four strong men, appeared behind the two boys.
Zhan Jingyi took a closer look, these four men looked very strong, but when he looked closely, he found that their faces had no facial features at all, and under the illumination of the moonlight, their faces were white and clean, as clean as a blank piece of paper.
Zhan Jingyi glanced at the river under their feet, and sure enough, there was not only a suspended sedan chair, but also a shadow of the four men.
Soon, behind them appeared a band playing mourning music, and the whole team was blowing and beating, and it seemed to be very lively.
"What the hell are these things? Like a man is not like a man, like a ghost but not like a ghost. ”
"If it's a ghost, shouldn't there be no shadow? But it seems that they all have shadows. ”
And if they all have shadows, doesn't that mean that these are people and not ghosts?
But how do they do it? And why did they carry such a strange sedan chair?
Especially at night, listening to this music seems to be mourning music for funerals, is it a funeral in a small town?
……
Since you can't see the problem under the conventional field of view, let's look at it from a different perspective.
Zhan Jingyi lowered his head, turned on his spiritual vision, looked up, and was startled when he saw it.
In his vision, the two boys, a man and a woman, turned out to be two life-size paper figures.
The two faces as white as paper were smeared with two large patches of red blush, and black eyes, but they were lifeless.
These two paper figures are walking in the air, at first glance they are exactly the same as real people, and their expressions are vivid, if it weren't for those lifeless eyes, I am afraid that they will be believed if they are alive.
And the other strong men, as well as the people in the band, are also vividly done paper figures.
It's no wonder that there is a shadow, after all, paper figures are also physical objects, not intangible.
But how can a paper figure be like a living person? A new type of psychic monster? Or something else?
Even if it's not a ghost, it's just these paper people, such a weird night, just thinking about it can scare people enough.
In the middle of the night, a bunch of paper figures, blowing and blowing, carrying a sedan chair, I feel panicked when I think about it.
What would be in a sedan chair? Is it also a paper man?
The more Zhan Jingyi thought about it, the more curious he became, and he really wanted to step forward and open the curtain of the car door to see what was inside.
Looking at the group of "people" who were getting closer and closer, Zhan Jingyi slowly lay down, carefully holding his breath, his legs curled up slightly.
From time to time, a cold and murderous aura flashed in his eyes, ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.
Whatever it is, if you dare to harass yourself, then don't blame yourself for being rude.
This town, from the moment he came in, always felt very weird, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
……
At 10:30 p.m., a city, a mysterious building, ten floors.
A spacious conference room, with no lights on, and a dark night enveloping the entire conference room.
Suddenly, on the four walls of the conference room, a projection equipment began to start, and a ray of light shot out, outlining one after another figures of the same scale as a real person in front of the long conference table.
For a moment, it seemed that the conference table was full of people, men and women, no less than ten people.
And except for the blurred faces, these figures look lifelike, as if they are all living people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Advent experiment we were expecting has been successful, meaning that the Advent energy is ready for us to use at any time."
Combined with the previous experiments on the seven deadly sins, we already have what it takes to create God! ”
When Zhan Jingyi was staring at a group of strange paper figures in a town whose names he didn't know, a conference room that was used to not turning on the lights was filled with blurred projection portraits and sharing some information.
The person in charge of sharing the information had an uncontrollable excitement in his tone.
"Since the experiment of Bluestone Cliff has been successful, our investment has also seen a return."
"Congratulations, everyone."
"From this point on, you have become people who can harness the power of God!"
The excitement in the mouth of the person sharing the information could not be concealed, and the voice was impassioned, as if he had seen a great victory.
However, compared to him, the other few people present were obviously much calmer.
"Isn't the hijacking operation in Spring City a bit reckless, and won't it affect our plans?"
A man with a slightly fat figure and a calm voice, clasping his hands to his chest, calmly asked: "In addition, can the relevant data of the mutants created by the advent energy, and even the "gods", pass the test?" ”
"These will be our tasks in the next stage, which is why we took the risk of hijacking Professor Li, because with his technical support, we can get the answer soon."
The person who reported this information calmed down a little and said:
"As for the stability of the deviants created through the advent energy, it will be shown in that operation in the near future."
"As for higher safety and reliability......
"I think everyone can find the answer through the next actions!"
As soon as these words came out, the people around the long table seemed to be slightly silent, as if they were thinking about some important things.
Soon, the projectors in the conference room went out one by one, and shadows disappeared into the conference room one by one.
Silence returned to the room, as if nothing had happened.
