"Where is the third child of the Zhang family? Hurry! I won't be able to catch up later!"
"I wonder if the bride is pretty? I will have a few more drinks later!"
"I heard that Liu Mazi's daughter is also suitable. Would you like your son to try it?"
The paper people were communicating with each other, and unlit candles could be faintly seen in their mouths that were constantly opening and closing.
It seemed that in the next second, their heads would turn into white paper lanterns and float unsteadily into the sky.
Wang Jin, who was wearing sportswear, looked out of place among the crowd wearing shrouds, but no one noticed him.
Everyone was walking forward in a lively manner, just like ordinary villagers going to have a feast.
But the more this happened, the more creepy Wang Jin felt.
This is the uncanny valley theory.
When the similarity between other species and humans reaches a certain value, humans will suddenly become extremely disgusted with them.
Even if other species are slightly different from humans, they will appear very conspicuous and dazzling, and the overall look will be stiff and terrifying.
These people know that they are paper figures, but they discuss eating, drinking, and getting married like humans, and they imitate humans in their speech and behavior.
Wang Jin lowered his head and pretended that he was also a paper man. Although he did not find the madman, he still felt that he should go with these villagers.
"Boss, if you can run by yourself, just run by yourself. This place is too weird."
Halfway through, Wang Jin suddenly heard a weak voice beside him.
The madman issued a warning when he passed by him, but when Wang Jin turned around, he found that there was no one beside him.
"I can't see you even though you're right next to me? Or is the madman already gone?"
Wang Jin frowned, but he didn't dare to raise his head and openly look for the madman.
"This place seems different from when I first came here?"
Wang Jin glanced around with his peripheral vision, and an indescribable feeling rose in his heart.
His cheek felt a little itchy, so Wang Jin stretched out his hand to scratch it, and the feeling of tearing paper came from his fingertips.
"What the hell?"
Wang Jin was startled, then reached out and touched it, and his cheek returned to the touch of flesh and blood.
"Is it pollution?"
Reaching into his backpack, Wang Jin quietly turned on the ghost blowing lamp.
"Click."
The lighter was ignited, and the surrounding five meters became unobservable.
"No, that's not right."
Worried that other paper figures would notice something unusual, Wang Jin's ghost blowing lamp only turned on for a moment, but he still noticed something was wrong.
The itching feeling on my face has not disappeared, which means it is not mental pollution caused by ancient gods or the like.
"Is it an illusion?"
Before Wang Jin could figure out what was going on, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
Judging from the light feeling on his shoulders, there is no doubt that it is a paper man.
"Are you the groom's officer?"
The man asked sinisterly, and the entire paper man team suddenly froze.
"I got the wrong person. I am the fifth villager."
Wang Jin lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice.
As for the village leader, it was all made up by him, and he just hoped he could get away with it.
"Lao Wu from the village? Isn't Lao Wu still alive?"
The paper man's voice suddenly rose a little higher, and then he grabbed Wang Jin's shoulder.
"Still alive?"
Wang Jin was stunned for a moment, and there was a strong force on his shoulder. He subconsciously touched the ghost and blew the lamp.
He wanted to burn the paper figures, but the crowd surrounded him, and he couldn't escape if they caught fire.
Not to mention that those paper men are incredibly powerful. Although they can't compare to Samsung Blackie and Mirror Ghost, they can't stand up to their large numbers.
Wang Jin was forced to turn his head. It was a paper man he had never seen before, staring at him.
"I'm not..."
"Groom Officer!"
"The groom is here! Please ask the groom to change his clothes!"
Before Wang Jin could explain, the paper man shouted loudly.
The crowd fell silent instantly, and all the paper figures turned to look directly at Wang Jin, with smiles on their pale faces.
"Change! Change!"
The crowd gradually became excited. Several paper figures wearing red and black shrouds held up Wang Jin, and followed the flow of people towards the house where the human blood groom's clothes were stored.
"when!"
The familiar sound of gongs sounded, and Wang Jin saw that the gong-beating paper man he released at the beginning was beating his head, followed by a large number of paper men playing suonas, and it was very lively.
"Huh? What are you..."
Wang Jin was stunned. He felt no hostility from these paper figures, and there was no response to the inspiration warning. This meant that at least they had no intention of harming him now.
"You just want to change my clothes?"
Something is wrong, so wrong.
"What he just meant is that Lao Wu is still alive, so I can't be Lao Wu?"
"So I'm dead?"
Wang Jin scratched his cheek, and it became more and more itchy.
The place where his fingers touched was cold, and Wang Jin could even feel the wood fibers inside.
"I'm a paper person? Something's wrong, shouldn't it be?"
Wang Jin turned around and looked full of doubts. Behind him were several paper figures carrying six large boxes.
As if sensing Wang Jin's gaze, a paper man spoke loudly.
"We have prepared everything for the groom. The three red boxes on the left are filled with silks, gold and silver treasures, so that our groom will be honored.
The three white boxes on the right contain paper leather, cotton, clips, one piece of clothing each, and two pairs of brocade boxes, containing earrings, bracelets, rings, hairpins and other jewelry, which are sure to make the bride unable to take her eyes away."
“They are all top-quality goods, and you are guaranteed to be satisfied.”
The paper man looked at Wang Jin happily with a smile on his face.
"???"
Wang Jin was a little confused. These paper figures really wanted to send him to get married, and it seemed that they were not getting married in an ordinary way.
"We have to find a way to get out."
Wang Jin's goal is to thoroughly study the rules here. Even if he can really beat these paper figures, he can't fight head-on, let alone he can't beat them at all.
These paper figures are very fragile, but their speed and strength are top-notch. Wang Jin will probably be beaten to death by a fist before he can kill them all.
"Well, marriage depends on the parents' orders and the matchmaker's advice. I haven't seen a matchmaker yet?"
The crowd was wandering around, and Wang Jin spoke, trying to delay time.
"You have seen it! You and the bride have seen it!"
A kid with paper braids that towered over the sky shouted. Wang Jin recognized him. It was this kid who knocked the old lady apart.
"Wait, could it be..."
Wang Jin suddenly remembered the old lady with the mole on her upper lip. Wasn't her dress the standard matchmaker dress?
"She is the matchmaker?"
Wang Jin was stunned for a moment, and then a bad premonition came over him. The old lady said that she had met Li Hui and the others, so it seemed that the bride might...
She took out the wedding invitation from her pocket and unfolded it in front of her. The bride's name was clearly written on it.
Li Hui.
"It's not impossible."
The bride is Li Hui. Instead of looking for her like a headless fly, it is better to let these villagers take her there.
