Mysterious Resurrection: I am practicing magic in troubled times

Chapter 173
"Giggle..."

An old hemp rope stood around Wang Tao's neck. The small loop tightened little by little, making his bones crack.

Even if the ghost rope is suppressed by the ancient house, even if the long-term suppression has greatly reduced the degree of ghost rope, the remaining supernatural power is not something ordinary people can resist.

The live broadcast room is now in chaos, and many people have chosen to call the police, which will soon attract the attention of the headquarters.

Maybe soon a ghost controller will come to investigate and save Wang Tao, who is about to hang himself.

Unfortunately he ran out of time.

If nothing else happened, it would not take half a minute to hang Wang Tao with a ghost rope. Even if there was support, those people would only be able to find Wang Tao's dead body.

But in the corner where neither Wang Tao nor the live broadcast room could see, the humble rag doll had undergone some strange changes. .

Under the influence of the supernatural, the rag doll, which looked very rough in texture, actually moved strangely.

The head sewn with rags shook, and the eyes made of two black buttons looked at the ghost rope, as if it had just woken up and was still observing the current situation.

Soon, a certain rule was triggered, and the rag doll's body shook, trying to escape from the side of the backpack.

However it fails.

A golden pin penetrated the body of the rag doll and fixed it firmly to the backpack.

After struggling for a while, probably because my strength was too weak, there was no way to break free.

Seeing that Wang Tao was about to be strangled to death, Ragdoll, who had no way to escape in advance, had to change his strategy, raised his short little hand, and waved towards the treetops above his head.

That place is the source of the ghost rope, and the meaning of this action is self-evident - come and hit me!

The whole process did not make any sound, and even Wang Tao himself was not aware of it.

However, the ghost rope's movement to strangle Wang Tao suddenly stiffened, and then the entire rope loop suddenly loosened.

"Ha-cough cough cough..."

Breathing fresh air for the first time in a long time, I was caught off guard and almost choked on my saliva.

After finally getting a chance to breathe, Wang Tao had no time to think about what had just happened. Without any hesitation, he used his hands and feet to crawl to the end of the grass ahead.

But at this moment, the ghost rope started to move again, and the rope loop swayed in the air, attacking Wang Tao again.

It was clear that it did not want to abandon the target of the attack.

A different kind of fear made Wang Tao's heart beat faster involuntarily, and the cold feeling getting closer and closer behind him was like a life-threatening knife, forcing him to speed up.

Still too slow.

Blocked by dense weeds and with limbs stiffened by fear, Wang Tao's speed could not match the incoming ghost rope.

Looking back in despair, he could only watch the ghost rope getting closer and closer to him.

However, when he was close at hand, the ghost rope that was already in front of him suddenly moved down, completely ignoring the frightened Wang Tao, and suddenly it was tied to the side of the backpack.

The rope loop was accurately put on the posing doll, and it began to pull back as it contracted, as if it was afraid that the doll would run away.

Immediately afterwards, there was only a bang, and a weak pulling sensation appeared and then disappeared quickly, as if something was being pulled apart.

Wang Tao watched helplessly as the ghost rope was suddenly retracted, hope igniting in his eyes again.

The rag doll given by the old lady was caught?
Did this arrest the wrong person?
Not daring to look further, he quickly struggled to get up from the ground, ignoring the dirt on his body, and rushed straight out of the grass.

During this period, the ghost rope never attacked again.It seems that Wang Tao has been abandoned as the target of the attack, or in other words, something has replaced Wang Tao and become the new target of the attack.

That seemingly inconspicuous rag doll is actually a supernatural prop that can affect the killing patterns of evil spirits and forcibly protect people from evil spirits.

You must know the situation at that time. Even if a new target appeared, the ghost rope would strangle Wang Tao first and then move on to the next target.

The only way to save Wang Tao is to fight off the evil ghost.

But the rag doll didn't fight against the ghost at all, it just hooked the hand, and the ghost rope obediently came over, gave up on Wang Tao, and listed the rag doll as a new attack target.

In other words, it's not that he gave up his goal, but that in Li Gui's eyes, the rag doll is the "real" Wang Tao.

Considering its abilities, it is probably most appropriate to call it a scapegoat.

Such a thing is no worse than a ghost candle, and if put to the outside world, it can cause a dispute between ghost controllers.

Before this, no contemporary ghost master even knew the existence of such a thing.

Not even the headquarters knew about it.

Wang Tao himself would never have thought that because of a act of kindness, he would be ahead of the rest of the world and enjoy the most high-end props in advance.

After the rag doll was torn off the backpack by the ghost rope, it flew up to the treetops with the ghost rope.

However, an outrageous scene occurred.

Although the rope loop is shrinking, the size is naturally enough to tie up an adult, but it is still too big to trap a rag doll.

The scapegoat doll actually fell out of the rope loop and fell under the dead tree.

After lying on the ground for a few seconds, the doll shook its head and stood up, as if it had been thrown unconscious.

Ghost Rope also discovered its traces, and the rope loop fell with the wind, intending to continue the unfinished attack.

But the doll actually opened its two short legs and ran deep into the grass.

The running movements were brisk and flexible, which did not match the doll's rough appearance at all.

Naturally, the ghost rope was unwilling to let go, and the rope loops flew up in the wind, trying to catch the scapegoat again.

I don’t know whether it was because the doll was moving too fast or the ghost rope was spreading too slowly. After a long time, the ghost rope still failed to catch the scapegoat.

Wang Tao had already taken advantage of this time to escape from the grassland. After he stepped on the stone bricks, he breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, he couldn't control himself and looked back curiously.

I saw a rope floating down from the treetops, and the rope loop was floating in the air, winding forward like a snake.

This movement was irregular, sometimes moving forward and sometimes moving upwards, going around and around in the grass, and soon became entangled in many dead trees.

The rope seemed to be looking for something, but was led away by that thing.

Is it that rag doll?
Wang Tao suddenly discovered that the rag doll in the rope loop had disappeared, and he couldn't help but make such a bold guess.

What's going on today? A broken rope can kill people spontaneously, but a rag doll can sneak around on this rope.

He has already figured out that this rope is probably because there is no way to hold the rag doll. After chasing it for a long time, there is no harvest, and it is tied with dead knots one after another.

If the ghost rope hadn't been able to continuously extend, he would have been tied up by himself and unable to move.
