Chapter 388: The paper man is alive!
Gao Xiaoyu smiled self-deprecatingly.

It must be because I stayed up too late playing games last night and I actually had hallucinations.

When he finished drawing eyes on all the paper figures and turned around, he was startled.

Seeing that all the paper figures were facing him, with their eyes staring at him, Gao Xiaoyu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back!

what happened?

He clearly remembered that he placed the paper figures randomly.

Why now... does it feel like everyone is getting closer to him?
A cold wind blew.

Gao Xiaoyu finally found the reason for the strangeness - the tightly closed window in the room was opened at some point, and gusts of cold wind rushed in through the window.

It must be the wind that blew all these paper figures to my side.

Gao Xiaoyu hurried over, closed the window, and placed the paper figures in the corner, arranging them neatly.

He finished the work in an hour, but his father still hadn't come back.

I plan to buy some snacks nearby and eat them while playing games.

When he walked back slowly with the bag, his mind was full of his father who would be extremely shocked when he came back and might even praise him.

While I was thinking about it, I saw a woman in flowered clothes at the door of the paper-making shop from afar.

"Hello?"

Gao Xiaoyu suddenly felt embarrassed.

I just went to buy some snacks and a customer came to my store?

The woman didn't answer him.

Her face was sunk into a pitch-black shadow and could not be seen clearly.

Gao Xiaoyu thought the woman didn't hear him, so he walked closer and spoke louder: "Hello, sir, may I ask if this is the reservation paper..."

The next second, his words got stuck in his throat and his pupils trembled violently.

The plastic bag fell from his hand to the ground.

He met a pair of lifeless, black and white eyes. The two looked at each other, completely stunned. His family ran a paper-making shop, so he was quite courageous, but at this moment, he only felt terrified and scared.

He was familiar with these eyes.

It was the eyes of the paper figure that he had just drawn!

The paper man comes alive!
He felt cold and had goose bumps all over his body, and he felt terrified.

He almost thought he was having a nightmare, but the next second, the paper man grinned at him with its bright red, bloody lips, in a strange smile.

The corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears, forming an arc that was impossible for a normal person to achieve.

The thick clouds in the sky blocked the sun, and there was not a trace of sunshine.

Under the depressing cloudy sky, the paper man slowly approached, shaking his twisted limbs.

Soon, the paper man's movements became more and more free, and his eyeballs began to move, slowly changing from a strange posture to one that resembled a child learning to walk.

After Gao Xiaoyu finished speaking, Gao Yong also came back.

He saw smoke in the paper-making shop and thought it was on fire.

He rushed into the room and saw that the paper-made items he had just completed had all turned to ashes. He almost had a heart attack.

He roared: "What's going on? You bastard, what did you do!" Gao Xiaoyu stammered: "Dad, I..."

"I saw that you hadn't come back yet, and I thought that there was still a batch of paper figures that hadn't been completed, so I took the initiative to draw the remaining paper figures of you. But I don't know why, the paper figures suddenly came to life and attacked me——"

Gao Yong: ???
He yelled, "What the hell are you doing, brat? Didn't I tell you before I left not to touch anything in the store?"

"Your ears are covered with hair, so you can't hear anything."

Before he left, he was worried that his son would do something wrong. He didn't expect that despite all his warnings, the bastard still got into trouble.

If it weren’t for Su Chen, who is knowledgeable about the matter, Gao Xiaoyu would have been dead long ago.

Gao Xiaoyu's voice became even quieter: "I... I just saw that you have been busy for so long and have to work overtime to finish the paper figurines, so I wanted to draw the faces of these paper figurines to make you feel more relaxed."

Looking at his son's submissive look, all the words Gao Yong wanted to curse at were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

He was silent for a long time, then said: "Look, son, this is why I haven't taught you how to make paper figurines. You have no reverence and don't believe in these things, so how can you do it well? Whether you do it well or not is another matter. What I am most afraid of is that you have violated some taboo."

He knows his son's temperament best. He thinks highly of himself. He has been working for several years but has not achieved any high or low position. When he comes home, he either plays games or watches videos. He also looks down on the ancestral craft of making paper-cutting, so he is really allowed to look after the store.

Who would have known that he would get into trouble when he came back after just going out.

Su Chen listened at the side and shook his head silently.

"Son, I'm old now. From now on, our family's paper-making craft will depend on you. Look, your brother Chen has also supported his grandfather's shop. You should learn to be more steady."

The more Gao Xiaoyu listened, the redder his ears became.

"Xiaochen, thank you for today. If you weren't here, this brat would have gotten into big trouble."

If these paper figures are not dealt with immediately, and run away, there will probably be great chaos.

"Uncle Gao, you have watched me grow up. You are too polite."

After saying that, Su Chen turned and left. The parents taught the child that it was not good for him to be present and that he should save face for others.

Back to the shop.

Su Chen no longer had any plans to go out for dinner, so he ordered takeout. Out of boredom, he played Candy Crush on his phone.

Just when he was about to pass the customs, a young woman suddenly ran in, panting and out of breath: "Xiaochen, are you free now! Help me see what's wrong with my son..."

Now, if the neighbors encounter any strange things, they often come to Su Chen for help.

Gao Xiaoyu obviously knew this woman, a nearby resident named Xu Li. He looked up and asked, "Oh, Sister Lili, what happened to Tongtong?"

"I don't know either..." Xu Li said intermittently with tears in her eyes, "My son Tongtong was fine when he went out with his grandmother today, but he was not right when he came back.

"The child used to have a small appetite, but today he ate three bowls of rice in a row. His father and I saw that something was wrong. If he continued to eat like this, he would definitely die of bloating! We quickly stopped him. If we hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid he would have eaten until his stomach exploded.

"After dinner, the child started talking nonsense while lying on the bed. He also kept giggling. His laughter was so weird... How could this be the smile of an eight-year-old child? We were afraid that he had encountered something dirty, so we came to ask you.

"We only have this one child. I'm really scared...if anything happens, our whole family won't be able to survive."

Su Chen quit the game, put away his phone, and walked out. "Okay, I'll go take a look."

After walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "Uncle Gao, please watch the store for me. Please sign for the takeaway when it arrives."

"Well, go ahead." Gao Yong nodded.

"Brother Chen, I want to go and see it too." Gao Xiaoyu followed closely behind.

"You bastard, you'll just cause trouble if you go there." Gao Yong said angrily.
