Let's face the fear together! Sao Nian Chapter 94: Puppet Show (2)
Although he was a little emotional, the ghost that Zhang Luo originally thought did not appear. He thought that the soul of the daughter of the class leader who had suffered a lot and had a deep hatred for him had entered the puppet.
His perspective is still wandering around with the troupe leader, which is a bit annoying. The grand parade and the raging war are all like the background of this old man, whose vitality is as tenacious as Xiaoqiang's.
But hard work paid off, and Zhang Luo finally discovered the clues about the ghost.
When the poor old man's hair turned white, he started to pick up the knife, picked up his craft again day after day, and carved a puppet. Different from those puppets singing operas, this puppet was more like a human being.
The old man dressed the puppet in gorgeous palace clothes and guarded it carefully, spending lonely nights one after another...
Of course Zhang Luo had no reason to just watch like this. Since the ghost appeared, he immediately took action and tried to snatch the puppet from the old man's hand. But it was obviously meaningless. He seemed to have lost his game and gained nothing.
"Damn it." Zhang Luo looked gloomy, not knowing what to do.
You know, the skill of Yin Eyes can only last for an hour, and now it has been used for most of it. If you still can't think of a way, it will be Spartan.
Maybe he will become the first destined person to die, which is not a good outcome anyway.
He looked at the darkness above his head. Unexpectedly, the darkness was getting closer and closer. Even his dark eyes could not see what was behind the darkness.
He couldn't come up with a solution if he was impatient, so he could only watch it patiently, observing the changes calmly and looking for flaws. Maybe the ghost was also observing and testing, it just depends on who has the patience.
The black-and-white silent film in the gloomy eyes continues, and the old man ages at a speed visible to the naked eye until he dies.
This reminded him of a song from another world called "Silk String Opera", but the stories between the two were quite different.
Zhang Luoneng could feel that the old man regarded this puppet as his dead daughter. The old man's resentment, longing, regret, longing and other emotions accumulated over countless days and nights, which may be the reason for the appearance of the evil ghost.
He was very familiar with the set in the novel, but it felt a little ridiculous. Because according to the time of this world, there did not seem to be such spiritual things as ghosts in the previous world, let alone such ethereal things as emotions.
The same accumulation is concentrated on a small puppet.
"Perhaps the old man is attached to this puppet." Zhang Luo gave himself a seemingly reasonable explanation, but this could not explain why the puppet reacted greatly to his lifting of skirt.
It can’t be that the old man really thinks of himself as a woman, or does he have a cross-dressing fetish? Ugh...
Thinking this way, he felt a little chilly, which completely destroyed the original solemn feeling. His expression was no longer solemn, but rather relaxed.
This ghost is very interesting, which is why Zhang Luo is determined to get it. He really wants to study what secrets it contains.
But it wouldn't be so wonderful if he had to die. Fortunately, he could feel that he could retreat at any time.
Of course, there is no need to worry about things like the retreat, but the risk is definitely very high.
But the silent film continued. Finally, one night, when the old man was going to sleep, the puppet moved. In the dark, he naturally opened the delicate box and sat up, just like a little girl who had just woken up and was ignorant of the world. It was natural.
He looked at Zhang Luo, seemingly confused.
He also does well
Get ready for an attack and catch this cunning ghost.
However, the sound was restored at this time, and someone was talking quietly.
"...Are you ready? According to the Holy Mother's decree, the things are in this dilapidated house."
"There's not much danger here. There's just an old man who moves swiftly. The government has been very tight recently."
When Zhang Luo heard this conversation, he turned around and saw several people wrapped in hoods forcing their way into the hut. The puppet seemed to feel something and closed the lid again and lay down.
The man who broke into the house rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and the old man was awakened.
"Who are you and what do you want to do? I have nothing here..." The old man was trembling. He was already very old and had been depressed all year round. He still had injuries when he was young and his health was very poor.
At this time, the box containing the puppets was finally opened.
"Found it!" Those people were a little excited.
The old man's eyes were full of fear. He looked at the exquisite puppet that was his hard work and burst into tears: "That's just an ordinary puppet. What do you want it to do?"
"There is still one last step left!" A cold light flashed in the leader's eyes, "This puppet is about to become a sacred object of our religion!"
"Well, is killing someone..." Someone swallowed and said anxiously.
"Hurry up, Wusheng Mother will protect you. As long as you do this, you will be an official member of the church. Even if you die, you can go to the vacuum hometown without oppression!" The man's expression became a little ferocious.
Some people were still hesitating, but some people had already taken action, took the puppets, unfolded the puppet strings, and walked towards the old man.
"What are you doing! Is there any more law..." The old man's voice was so weak.
But the man moved very swiftly and strangled the old man's neck with a puppet string. As time passed, a life in the hut disappeared quietly.
Zhang Luo's face was solemn. He didn't know why this ghost showed him these things. He always felt that there was something terrible inside.
Putting aside the Innocent Old Mother, the origin of things like Vacuum Hometown is that there is a name that left a mark in the history of another world - the White Lotus Sect!
There are many doubts about this old man's era alone.
The White Lotus Sect originated from the White Lotus Sect of Buddhism in the Southern Song Dynasty. It has unclear connections with Maitreya Sect and Manichaeism. It is one of the three major cults in history and has always been a professional rebel. Every dynasty in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties experienced these cult organizations.
A massive peasant uprising led to the weakening of the dynasty's control and even its demise. Even in modern times, many cults still have its shadow.
And this world... Zhang Luo took a deep breath and remembered the harsh religious policies of the Bianyuan, as well as the reality that the ghosts of the human heart have emerged. I am afraid these guys are leading the puppet assassination of religious figures in Songshan City.
Zhang Luo was a little hesitant about such a thorny issue, and didn't know whether he should touch it. You know, he still has an organization on the other side to deal with, and it seems too unwise to provoke another thousand-year cult.
It might be a good choice to throw it to Qiao Xi.
But he was a little unwilling to do so. He had spent a culprit-level skill sheet, and it was not Zhang Luo's style to return empty-handed.
He narrowed his eyes and had an idea.
The scene in front of him gradually became distorted. The cultists and the old people all turned into puppets and stood up with their heads hanging down.
Looking up, you can see a huge female puppet in palace costume controlling these people.
The puppet ghost finally came out.
A puppet rushed over, but Zhang Luo froze with his eyes wide open, and was kicked to pieces by him. But soon countless puppet strings came out and attacked Zhang Luo.
But Zhang Luo stared at the huge puppet, and these attacks immediately dissipated.
The two sides competed with each other through supernatural powers, but the culprit-level skills were indeed not something that the ghosts could deal with.
The other puppets stopped, and one of them slowly raised his head, opening and closing his mouth: "You are strong, but I am not weak."
Zhang Luo continued: "Yes, so we can talk."
"Let me meet you. My name is Zhang Luo. What is your name?"
"Name..." It seemed to be wondering or thinking, and probably didn't expect anyone to ask a ghost's name.
"You can call me... Wuxin."
The corner of Zhang Luo's mouth curled up, and he felt more and more interesting in his heart: "It's interesting, Wuxin, a ghost actually cares about whether there is a heart? Maybe it's a weakness..."
"If my guess is correct, you are now clearing out the dissidents of the White Lotus Sect. I am very curious about what they use to drive you. In a sense, they are your father-killing enemies." His expression did not change.
Staring at the giant puppet, he continued.
"No comment, you leave, I won't go there again." The puppet didn't give any face. It seemed that he realized that this guy was lying and just wanted to draw a line between the two parties.
"Wuxin, after seeing your experience, I can't go back. Although I have never met the old man and don't even know his name, I definitely don't want this tragedy to continue. I want to save
You!" Zhang Luo's expression became serious.
"Wuxin, the old man created you, and he definitely doesn't want to see you being used! You shouldn't always be running around killing people!"
"I'm just a puppet..." At this time, even a ghost was at a loss as to what to do.
The puppet ghost couldn't understand that this guy suddenly seemed to have changed. Why did he need to be saved?
Zhang Luo quickly asked: "Don't you want to feel the joy, anger, sorrow and joy like a human being? Don't you want to feel the warmth in peace? Who deprived you of everything in that small house back then! Your nightmares can't lie,
This is your most precious thing, and someone tore it to pieces when you were at your most ignorant!"
Zhang Luo took a deep breath and loudly questioned her true intentions: "Can't puppets have these?"
The string puppets collapsed immediately, and the huge puppet in palace clothes remained motionless. Wu Xin felt a little dazed, as if he had never considered these things.
This guy Zhang Luo actually thought of instigating the opponent after he found out that he couldn't catch this ghost. In the eyes of most destiny people, this is simply unreasonable.
Ghosts are mechanical and murderous. Just like the rules, they exist specifically to kill people. Which destiny person would want to understand the past of a ghost and persuade it to behave? This is like asking a tiger to eat grass instead.
However, Zhang Luo believes that something that exists for the purpose of killing cannot be a natural occurrence. In a word, the world is unkind and treats all things as rotten dogs. The world will not produce specific things to favor anyone.
It just so happened that this kind of thing appeared, including extreme ones like the Destined Ones.
Then ghosts like Wuxin are worthy of study, they are suspected to be more like humans.
