Hee, I found you!
This is an indescribable and distant sound, which seems to come from the paper man, but also seems to come from a distance, erratic and strange.
I have watched a lot of ghost movies before, and I was often frightened by the sounds in the movies, but I can swear that the sounds in the movies are definitely not one ten thousandth as scary as this one!
It is no exaggeration to say that when I heard this sound, I could clearly feel that my heartbeat had stopped due to fright.
If that's all, give me some time and I'll be able to recover.
But what I never expected was that before I could recover, under the dim moonlight, I saw the hands of the headless paper man twirling left and right, and then I heard a 'click' - --The head of the paper man on my body was broken off instantly!
And the most terrifying thing is that I saw the headless paper man holding his head with both hands. After raising it high, as soon as his hands were released, the head fell freely and landed right between the shoulders of the headless paper man. It turned into a The headless paper man's head!
However, the arms of the paper man cannot be bent, and there is no turning when the head is installed, so that the whole head is installed upside down, facing the back, but the back of the head is facing the chest! The already weird paper man became even more spooky and terrifying at the moment!
Now I finally know why Mr. Wang specifically told me not to make a sound no matter what I saw at night. Because the target of this paper man has been my head from the beginning!
It wants to remove my head and put it on itself!
As soon as I understood this, while I was lying on the bed, a layer of dense cold sweat broke out all over my back, as if I had just come out of the pool.
If Mr. Wang hadn't pierced a paper man to protect me, then what was standing on the shoulders of the headless paper man now would be my head!
Just imagine, your head was torn off, and then installed on the body of a paper man, and it was installed backwards... What kind of terrifying picture would that be?
I originally thought that the matter would end here, but the paper man jumped and moved parallel to the end of the bed, then leaned forward, took off the left leg of the paper man on me, and then placed it on itself.
Like the head, the left leg is also reversed.
But with such a weird look, I saw him clap his hands and heard it laugh! The expression and posture seemed like it was very satisfied with its body.
After clapping and laughing, I saw it turn around and face me with its paper face, swaying left and right, and slowly walked out of my room.
From beginning to end, I didn't dare to make any move, not even move my head. So even if it walked towards my door, I didn't dare to turn my head and look. Instead, I only dared to try my best to roll my eyes upwards and outwards to make sure that the thing had really left.
When I saw it walking out of the room, I just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but the paper man who had already walked out of the room suddenly stuck his head in from the door, grinning, and stared at the pair of eyes that I had clicked on. Eyes, staring motionlessly at the room.
It...it actually fought back again!
boom!
At that moment, I felt like my scalp was going to explode.
The paper man's bulging eyes were like a knife, cutting my scalp bit by bit.
I really wanted to take my eyes back, but I was afraid that after I took my eyes away, the paper man would suddenly rush to my bedside, reach out and twist off my head!
I didn't even dare to express my presence, for fear that the paper man would discover my existence. But as time passed by, I felt that my body had reached its limit, and I was very sure that if this stalemate continued, my brain would definitely die due to lack of oxygen.
I don’t know how long the paper man was looking at the door. I only know that the feeling of being scratched by a knife on my head gradually dissipated after the sound of chickens crow outside the window.
And when I finally dared to take a deep breath, I realized that the mattress under me was completely soaked with sweat.
I was about to breathe a sigh of relief when I heard the door being pushed open suddenly, which scared my heart and almost jumped out of my throat!
You're not going to try to get back at him again, are you? This is not over yet! ?
However, when I saw that the person coming in was Mr. Wang, I immediately took a big breath and thought, I finally got over it.
As soon as the idea came to his mind, Mr. Wang suddenly let out a heartbreaking wail for no apparent reason. The sudden shrill sound scared me so much that I almost stumbled out of bed.
But Mr. Wang didn't care about my life or death at all. After howling a few times, he turned around and tiptoed behind the window, then lay on the window and looked out, not knowing what he was looking at.
What's more important is that while he was watching, he was still wailing in his mouth, as if he was mourning, and he sounded very scared.
After a few minutes of this, Mr. Wang turned around, took off the paper figurine from my body, and then told me that it was almost dawn, and the paper figurine was finally over. You better get some sleep, and I'll bury this paper man.
A paper man delivering a message to the soul?
Isn't this the same situation we encountered on the way back with Wu Tinghan?
But wasn’t that already broken by Wu Tinghan? Why does Mr. Wang still say that this is a game where paper people send spirits?
After saying that, Mr. Wang didn’t wait for me to ask, and he didn’t care whether I understood or not, he hugged the paper man and walked out the door.
I could clearly tell from his footsteps that he did not leave the yard, but went straight to the back hill.
I was frightened two or three times in one night, and I almost collapsed and lacked oxygen just now. Now I was really sleepy to the extreme, so when Mr. Wang said it was okay, even though my mind was full of questions, I fell asleep quickly.
When I woke up again, it was already noon. Mr. Wang was making lunch in the kitchen. Wu Tinghan also woke up and was lying on the deck chair on the edge of the steps, looking leisurely at the scenery above the yard.
Seeing that she woke up, I was very relieved and hurriedly walked over to ask her how she was feeling.
Without even looking at me, she replied with three words in a cold tone: I can't die.
This character who refuses people thousands of miles away and speaks harshly is the woman I know!
At this time, Mr. Wang came out of the kitchen and asked me to wait for a while and I would be able to eat soon.
It can be seen from his expression that he is very relaxed, and he even sings while cooking.
Seeing him like this, my originally tense nerves relaxed a lot.
At the dinner table, I asked Mr. Wang, "Hasn't the paper man sent to the deceased been broken? Why did you still say it was a paper man sent to the deceased?"
Mr. Wang sneered and said, if the paper man's mourning ring was so bad, Senior Wu wouldn't be able to say, "I've been tricked."
I remembered that when Mr. Wang explained to me why Wu Tinghan said "I was tricked," he said, "She was tricked, and you will suffer a little bit." '(Chapter 99)
I asked Mr. Wang about the paper man sent to the deceased at that time, but he prevaricated the matter and only said that I would know when the time comes.
I bet they knew it wasn't that simple from the beginning, but they never told me.
Mr. Wang said, don’t look at me like this. I only know that the paper delivery is not over yet, but what will happen, I only found out last night.
I originally thought this was Mr. Wang's excuse for himself, but when I thought about what to do with Mr. Wang after he picked up Wu Tinghan's pen last night, I believed his words.
But what I don’t understand is that Wu Tinghan just said two simple sentences, and you, Mr. Wang, guessed that he had made a paper man as a stand-in for me?
And they are all acting as stand-ins. Can you just use your craftsmanship to carve a wooden figure?
Mr. Wang shook his head and said, if the carving is made of wood, you will have no chance to participate.
I asked, is this a big deal?
He said that to be able to completely replace you with wood, you need to chop down a tree yourself. Do you think you can chop down a tree in just a short time?
I thought about it, but I really can't do it. And even if you can do it, it will take a while to go to a place with big trees, and time will flow away every time you come back.
In comparison, cutting bamboo is indeed the fastest way.
Mr. Wang said, even if I can make a wooden man, if the paper man cannot be removed (cannot be removed) and you drop your head, do you think it will find your real person and remove (remove) your head?
When I thought of that scene, I was so frightened that I shook my head quickly to get this horrific picture out of my mind.
Mr. Wang continued, so as soon as I heard Senior Wu calling you to cut bamboo, I knew she was going to ask me to make a paper man as a substitute for you.
I asked, why are you so sure?
He said that because he asked you to chop bamboo, he must get a substitute for you, otherwise Senior Wu would not let you chop alone due to his cautious character.
I still didn’t understand, so I asked him, when you made me a wooden stand-in before, you didn’t let me cut down the tree.
Mr. Wang said, because that wooden man only needs to drip the body for you, and I am sure that I can do it without you having to do anything. But this paper man is going to be your substitute, so it must be exactly like you, with flesh and bones.
I know this. Mr. Wang has explained to me before that only flesh and blood must be present to be considered a complete substitute. When my grandfather pretended to be me and went to Chen Guzi's house to exchange for the portrait, he also followed this rule.
Mr. Wang said that you cut the bamboo with your own hands, so the bamboo strips are equivalent to you cutting the bones. Although I cut the white paper, the most important thing is you cutting the eyes, so it is equivalent to you cutting the skin and flesh, which has flesh and bones. , Only in this way can it be considered a complete body.
I asked again, since there were substitutes, why did Ziha want me to hug the paper man to sleep? Aren't you afraid that I will be hacked to death?
After hearing this, Mr. Wang did not rush to answer my question, but asked me, you know that the headless paper man obviously has no head, that is, no eyes, so did it find you soon?
I was obviously stunned when I heard Mr. Wang's words. To be honest, I really haven't thought about this issue.
So I said, shouldn't you carry the paper man's head back and bring it over?
Mr. Wang said that the first time you knocked on the door, it was indeed the head that came to you. But after that, it didn’t even get the head. Did it find you accurately?
...I ran out of words again and had never thought about this question, so I asked, why?
Mr. Wang said it was because of that breath on you.
gas?
I shook my head to show that I didn't understand.
Mr. Wang said that last night, when the paper man was leaning against the door (knocking on the door), you opened the door just a crack, and it stretched out its hand in front of you, and you yelled. When you shouted, you breathed out into the hand of the paper man, and it was with this breath that it found you.
Although I thought it was incredible, I still asked Mr. Wang, wouldn’t it be okay if you asked me to breathe on this paper man yesterday?
Who knew that after Mr. Wang heard this, he gave me a fierce look and said, do you think I am a senior Wu who can not only draw skin and bones, but also draw souls? Unless Senior Wu does it himself, even if you let out a breath, I won't be able to keep it.
Hearing this, I glanced at Wu Tinghan and found that she was concentrating on eating with her head down, and seemed not at all interested in the communication between Mr. Wang and me.
If what Mr. Wang said is true, then Wu Tinghan was indeed unable to perform any craftsmanship in the state he was in yesterday.
Let me tell you, so I can only deceive the headless paper man by holding the paper man?
Mr. Wang said angrily, otherwise, do you have a better way?
I thought for a while and found that apart from this method, I really couldn't find any other better method.
But soon, I realized that there was a huge loophole in Mr. Wang’s process of using a stand-in to protect me from disasters that could not be made up!
