Within three minutes, the two of them changed into combat uniforms, put on their normal clothes again, and then came out with their backpacks.

Aunt Wu was standing against the wall in the courtyard, holding a slender cigarette in her fingers, and the dim moonlight in the courtyard of the inn shone on her body, which looked a little mysterious.

"Let's go!"

Seeing Zhan Jingyi and the two coming out, she threw the cigarette butt in the ashtray above the trash can and whispered.

As she whispered, the door of a room next to her opened, and Wang Bingyan walked out, also changing into the same black clothes as them.

"......Shhh

At this time, Zhan Jingyi put his finger to his mouth, and a sharp whistle spread all around.

Wang Bingyan, who had just come out, was startled, and looked at Zhan Jingyi, a hint of blush appeared on his face.

Aunt Wu on the side had a satisfied look on her face, as if she was watching her stupid son finally grow up and know how to flirt with a beautiful girl.

And Liu Li, who was following behind Zhan Jingyi, had a surprised look, his eyes looking back and forth on Zhan Jingyi and Wang Bingyan's bodies.

Seeing everyone's demeanor, Zhan Jingyi hurriedly pointed at the eagle knife that flew with its wings, and explained: "I can't leave it here by myself, so I summoned it and brought it." ”

Hearing this, everyone showed a look of sudden realization, Liu Li's expression relaxed a lot, but Wang Bingyan's eyes showed a trace of disappointment, but it quickly disappeared.

opened the door, and everyone followed Aunt Wu out of the inn.

What made Zhan Jingyi strange was that Aunt Wu did not lead everyone to the outside of the town, but followed the road outside the inn towards the center of the town.

"This paper man world is actually not outside the town, but on the back mountain of this town, after the advent of the other dimensional world, a group of strange paper figures came here."

"Fortunately, these paper figures don't seem to have the will to kill, and they stay in the back mountains honestly after they come, and don't go out all year round."

"It was only in the past six months that paper figures wandered around the town and its surroundings, and as they wandered, many tourists and locals disappeared."

"After my many investigations, I found that these missing people were all taken to the back mountain, and it seems that the paper people are performing a kind of ritual, and the specific content is unknown."

"Among the top ten Jedi of the Federation, the paper man world is relatively mild and extremely harmful, so the federal government does not want to rashly start a war with the paper people here without absolute certainty."

"So, the federal government has semi-cordoned off the perimeter, closed it to tourists, and has tried to relocate locals out of the area, which is very small so far."

Hearing Aunt Wu's words, Zhan Jingyi had a further understanding of the paper man world, and it seemed that this paper man world did not mean to be an enemy of the Crescent Moon Federation.

What is the reason for the current massive expansion of the scope and the constant disappearance of the townspeople?

Is it because of the ritual that Aunt Wu said? What is that ritual? What is it for?

……

After nightfall, there was no one on the streets of the town, and there were not many residents in the town, but some of them disappeared a few days ago, and the rest of them were probably hidden.

Seeing that Aunt Wu was still wearing that bright clothes, Zhan Jingyi was a little puzzled, didn't she need to change her clothes?

As if seeing his doubts, Aunt Wu smiled and didn't say anything, just took the lead and walked out, walking and walking, Zhan Jingyi felt that there seemed to be a wave in the air flickering.

Looking at Aunt Wu in front of her, the gorgeous aunt outfit turned into a set of black clothes like theirs, and Zhan Jingyi was dumbfounded.

Compared with the dwarf magician, Aunt Wu is more like a magician, is this a trick?

"I'm a phantom dream, and I can distort the senses of people within a certain range, so ...... Don't worry about me. ”

Zhan Jingyi smiled, but he had a greater grasp of saving people this time, and it seemed that the leader was still very reliable.

At least, the vision of this selection is not bad.

……

Leaving the inn, Aunt Wu took the lead, leading everyone along the bluestone paved road towards the back of the town.

Looking ahead, you will find that the whole city has an indescribable gloomy temperament.

Perhaps because of the darkness and some overcastness, the sky seemed to be low, as if it were hanging over the town.

This town is not small, and along the way of the town, dilapidated old houses slowly appeared, like forgotten toys, standing lonely on the edge of the town, silently growing old and old with the erosion of time.

The whole town is very green, and there are many tall trees on both sides of the town's streets, which are straight and straight, covering the sky and the sun, and seem to cover every deep corner of the place.

As they walked, the sound seemed to wake the birds in the trees, and every now and then a bird flew up and circled over the town.

"Okay, then, you can come across that kind of thing at any time, and you obediently follow me."

"Remember, if we can not alarm these things, don't alarm, and I will help you hide your body."

"Remember, whatever you see, don't panic."

Aunt Wu said a word to the four of them, and Zhan Jingyi clearly felt that an abnormal spiritual power seemed to be distorting the air around them.

It should be Aunt Wu's ability, she is distorting the surrounding spiritual power, which can make the four of them invisible, so that other things can't see them.

"Master, such a big one, where do you say we should start looking for it......"

"Master, who is more powerful, you or Aunt Wu?"

"Master, if we encounter danger, should my senior sister and I run first? Or do I help you? ”

"Master, you are such a powerful character, can I learn from you?"

"Shut up!"

Since he came out and walked on the road of the town, Liu Li has been nagging non-stop, causing Zhan Jingyi and Aunt Wu to shout in unison.

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

may feel that the words just now are a little too serious, Zhan Jingyi said with a smile, glanced at Wang Bingyan after speaking, and said, "And your senior sister." ”

A few people walked through a low, abandoned housing area, down a dilapidated path, and as they progressed, they slowly reached the center of the town.

As he walked, Zhan Jingyi looked at this town, similar to other small towns in the mountains, there were many dilapidated and empty houses, which gave people a dark and oppressive feeling at night.

Human settlements are man-made, and once they are dilapidated, they appear particularly empty, and this emptiness gives people a strong sense of fear.

Moreover, people always seem to be afraid of what they have made.

"This was not the case here, Misty Town was still a famous scenic spot a few years ago, but since the arrival of another dimension, tourists have not come, most of the people here have also migrated, only a few old people like the innkeeper insisted on not leaving."

"If I hadn't been following the boss for the past few years and not being reluctant to be the boss, I would have left here a long time ago."

While walking, Wang Bingyan muttered to herself, and in her words, she could feel a trace of affection for the town.

After passing through two streets full of broken copper and iron, they saw something different looming in front of them.

……

A few people stood in a dark corner, silent, and slowly, there were several dim figures, passing by crookedly.

Zhan Jingyi and Aunt Wu glanced at each other, and seemed to see the surprise in their eyes.

Liu Li walked forward, as if he was ready to go over and find out.

Zhan Jingyi grabbed him and said indifferently: "Be careful, they are not human." ”

"Isn't it?"

For Liu Li and Wang Bingyan, the darkening of the night made it difficult for them to see what was in the shadows.

But Zhan Jingyi saw it clearly, not so much that those were not people.

Instead, they can be described as a group of paper figures with shadow entities.

These paper figures, twisted and grotesque, are often half as paper, half covered in flesh and blood, like strange deformed species.

After seeing their appearance clearly, Liu Li and Wang Bingyan were so frightened that they almost screamed, covering each other's mouths before they could barely suppress their surprise.

It wasn't until these paper figures in the shadows walked over that Liu Li and Wang Bingyan dared to gasp loudly.

"Damn, what the is this?"

"Master!"

Zhan Jingyi's face was expressionless, and he said, "As you can see, it should be a paper figure in evolution. ”

"Keep walking!"

The farther I went, the more I found that in the shadows ahead, there were shaking paper figures coming out one after another, wandering around the town like ghosts.

A small part of these paper figures are half-flesh and blood, and most of them are still all paper figures, as if they are endless!

"How... How are there so many! ”

"Shut up!"

On the dark road, the four of them dodged the paper figures that kept coming out of the shadows, and walked across the center of the town towards the back of the town along the road where Liu Li and the others were looking for the innkeeper that day.

Along the way, because of Aunt Wu's ability and their intentional dodge, although they have encountered a lot of paper figures, they have never encountered any risks.

As he walked, he was about to approach the edge of the town, and at this moment, in the darkness ahead, a dense network of paper figures appeared to block the entire road.

Through the dense paper figures in front of you, in the distance, it seems to be a winding path, leading straight to the back hill of the town.

"At the beginning, the innkeeper disappeared in the back mountain, and the master and I and others met those paper people in the back mountain."

"At that time, there weren't so many paper people, where did so many paper people come from?"

Listening to Liu Li's words, Zhan Jingyi looked at the back mountain of the town in the distance, the mountain was not high, and it was not big, but at this time, it was close, and he could clearly see the distorted air above the hill.

The air there seems to be much denser than the rest of the town, so it can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the surrounding area.

From a distance, it looks like a large hood is upside down on the hill, enveloping the hill into a separate world.

In addition, there are many red lanterns around the hill that symbolize festivities, as if a wedding feast is being held on the mountain.

And these white paper figures at the foot of the mountain seem to be guests attending a wedding banquet? Or a servant?

Is that the real world of paper figures? If nothing else is taken into account, this phenomenon, it seems, is a spectacular sight.

……

Following the somewhat rough road, they came to the front of this distorted air, and everyone slowed down, and had to slow down, because there were so many paper figures in front of them that they could no longer move forward.

Zhan Jingyi looked up and saw that in the air less than ten meters away, there were floating threads of twisted spiritual power, strands of silk, like oil stains poured into clear water, which were particularly clear.

This is a phenomenon that will only occur if the spiritual radiation is too strong, and this is also the edge, if you go in, .......

It may be a chaotic world inside, and maybe you can find the innkeeper and Liu Li's master.

"I can only take you here, in the inside, the spiritual power radiation is too strong, and it is no longer possible to distort the senses."

Aunt Wu looked at the waves in the air in front of her and said lightly.

"In that case, I'll have to come by myself."

"Aunt Wu, you protect the two of them, and I'll do the rest."

Zhan Jingyi glanced at Liu Li and Wang Bingyan, took a deep breath, thought for a while, took the eaglet knife out of his arms, threw it into the air, and the eaglet spread its wings and flew towards a nearby tree.

It's too dangerous to go up the mountain later, so let's let it wait here.

After getting ready, Zhan Jingyi took a step and walked towards the paper figures, his feet on the bluestone-paved road, and the sound of broken footsteps sounded.

When Zhan Jingyi was out of the scope of Aunt Wu's ability, he quickly revealed his figure, and he no longer deliberately walked around these paper figures as before, but chose to walk in a straight line.

In this way, it is easy to attract the attention of those paper figures on the edge.

Those paper figures who were originally slow to move stopped one after another, slowly turned their heads, and looked at Zhan Jingyi.

Each of these paper figures painted red and painted cheeks, wore red and green, and looked weird.

Their eyes were tightly closed, and when they looked at Zhan Jingyi, they seemed to be in a state of unopened.

All the paper figures' heads turned to Zhan Jingyi's side, and their eyes didn't seem to be open, only revealing a glimmer of whites, cold and indifferent.

There was some kind of danger in the air, and the cold night was terrifying.

And this sense of crisis also made Zhan Jingyi slow down slightly, but only hesitated a little, and still continued to move forward.
