Everyone nodded and accepted the order, but some people had doubts about this arrangement.
Zhu Xiucai is one of them.
He frowned and said: "Sir, if we all hide and wait until midnight, if there are really thieves coming, and see that we are not here, won't they become suspicious and alert them? How can we follow and investigate them?"
"Don't worry, I can make the thieves think we are still in the house."
Qin Shaoyou smiled, but he was already prepared.
In the eyes of everyone who were either surprised or curious, Qin Shaoyou took out a small wooden box from his arms.
There were large dark red spots on the wooden box, which looked like blood stains that had dried for many years. At the same time, there are many talismans attached to the wooden box, which makes people feel that it is not simple at first sight.
Opening the wooden box, there was a stack of shadow puppets tied with straw ropes.
These shadow puppets are different from the common shadow puppets.
They are not well made, only a rough outline of a human figure, with neither facial features highlighted nor coloring.
Qin Shaoyou took out a shadow puppet, put it in front of his mouth, blew on it, and then put it on the Datong bunk.
I saw this shadow puppet, just like a frightened puffer fish, it swelled up quickly.
After a few breaths, it becomes as big as a human being.
Looking at the appearance and facial features of the shadow puppet, it turned out to be exactly the same as Qin Shaoyou.
And there was an extra set of clothes on the body that originally had nothing on it, which was exactly what Qin Shaoyou was wearing at the moment.
Not only that, if you reach out and touch it, you will find that this shadow puppet also has body temperature, breathing and heartbeat.
Apart from being unable to move and keeping his eyes tightly closed, this shadow puppet is almost indistinguishable from a living person.
Of course, it won't work to pretend to be a person in action, but it is enough to pretend to be a sleeping person, so that no one can see the problem at all.
To be honest, this shadow puppet is many times more realistic than the most realistic wax figures and silicone dolls Qin Shaoyou had ever seen in his previous life!
This supernatural item, numbered yellow number twenty-three, was found by the Luocheng Town Demon Division from the collection of the evil ghost in a theater troupe a few years ago when it was solved.
That fierce ghost was also a poor man when he was alive. He was originally a shadow puppet artist. He took his daughter and traveled around performing shadow puppet shows to earn a living.
But the world was in chaos, and they were kidnapped by a group of bandits on the road and taken to the mountains to perform for fun.
As a result, during the performance, the bandit leader fell in love with the shadow puppet artist's daughter and actually tried to force her to compromise on the stage.
The daughter rose up to resist, but was strangled to death on the stage by the angry bandit leader.
The shadow puppet artist wanted to save him, but his head was smashed by other bandits.
When he fell on the shadow puppet stage, blood stained the entire shadow puppet stage.
Bandits have long been accustomed to killing people. After killing the father and daughter, they directly exposed their bodies in the wilderness and allowed wild dogs and crows to peck at their corpses.
What the bandits didn't expect was that seven days later, a shadow puppet artist who turned into a ghost would appear in their camp.
That night, there were constant screams, wails and pleas for mercy in the bandit camp.
After that night, there was no trace of the brutal bandits, and there was an extra troupe in the world who liked to hang out at night.
It is said that the plays performed by this troupe are very exciting, especially the fighting scenes are very real, and every scene is dripping with blood...
It’s just that everyone who watched this troupe’s performance died...
It wasn't until they met the Yaosi of Luocheng Town that the ghost troupe was put to an end, leaving behind several supernatural items.
Among them, shadow puppets have the smallest side effects, except that they cause people to lose a breath of vitality.
For Wu Xiu, this side effect is completely affordable.
Coupled with its weird effect and its ability to be of great use at certain times, Qin Shaoyou brought it along.
And now, it really comes in handy.
Although Zhu Xiucai, Ma Monk and others had worked in the Demon Suppression Department for several years, they still had never seen such a weird thing, and they all gathered around Qin Shaoyou's shadow puppet in admiration.
"Is this a supernatural item?"
"You can turn into a human being by blowing on it? It's so amazing."
"Can shadow puppets be played like this? It's an eye-opener."
Some people immediately thought of other uses of shadow puppets: "If I had such a shadow puppet, I would take it to the brothel oiran and blow it!"
Malis wanted to take the shadow puppet to the brothel oiran. While imagining the beautiful scene, he reached out his hand to peel off the shadow puppet's trousers and see what was inside.
Qin Shaoyou hurriedly stopped: "Hey, what are you doing? Just watch, don't do anything."
Although it was not his own pants that were taken off, Qin Shaoyou still felt a little uncomfortable watching a shadow puppet that looked exactly like him having his pants taken off.
Malice retracted his hand, smiled coquettishly, and said sheepishly: "I want to see if the person this shadow puppet has turned into is realistic or not."
Qin Shaoyou frowned. He always felt that what Malis said was realistic and there was something wrong with it.
He glared at Malis, and then called to everyone: "Okay, stop doing whatever you want, come here and get a shadow puppet, and play your substitute."
Everyone followed the instructions, took the shadow puppet from his hand, blew on it, and put it on the Datong bunk.
After a while, there were more than a dozen people in the room.
For some reason, after looking at these 'people' who were exactly the same as themselves for a long time, Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others felt an inexplicable sense of fear in their hearts.
Zhu Xiucai swallowed and looked away from the shadow puppet that looked exactly like him.
These made his scalp tingle.
He turned his head and asked Qin Shaoyou curiously: "Sir, how many supernatural items did you bring out this time?"
Monk Ma and the Hercules were also curious about this issue.
Qin Shaoyou laughed and said vaguely: "Not much."
Everyone rolled their eyes.
You haven’t brought much yet? We believe you!
You have used several supernatural items along the way! Whose little flag official can bring so many supernatural items with him when he goes on a mission?
However, it is also a blessing to be able to go on a mission with such a well-prepared boss.
At least it can reduce their disability rate and reincarnation rate a lot.
Although the shadow puppets make people feel a little numb, with them here, there is really no need to worry about alerting the enemy.
Qin Shaoyou told everyone: "Take the time to rest, get something to eat, and prepare for the night."
Then, he took over the dog he bought from Zhu Xiucai's house and inspected it carefully.
This inspection really made him discover the problem...
