Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 30: Guarding Against Evil: Paper Cutting
Looking at the hope in the eyes of his classmates, Zhuo Junhao's face became a little stiff, but he soon returned to normal.

"Everyone, magic weapons are not often available. This time it's because of what happened to Ruonan and the others, so naturally I'll focus on them first. I'll keep an eye out for you later."

Hearing Zhuo Junhao say this, everyone was disappointed, but they also understood.

"Thanks, I didn't realize you had this kind of relationship."

Li Ruonan patted Zhuo Junhao on the shoulder and expressed her gratitude sincerely.

Regardless of whether you will explore spirits in the future, it is certainly better to have something to protect yourself than nothing.

"Small things."

The smile on Zhuo Junhao's face became even brighter.

Chen Xin, who was standing by, was a little disappointed that he didn't get the magic weapon.

What he said just now was not to tease Zhuo Junhao. He really wanted to see what the so-called magic weapon was and how it was different from his talisman.

After that, the conversation turned to other topics.

Some talked about how they were going to spend their college years, some yearned for college life, and some said they were going to work during the summer vacation.

Chen Xin was not interested in these. When he was about to take out his mobile phone to check the post on the forum, someone mentioned He Li.

"Have you heard? He Li is missing!"

"what happened?"

"I don't know the details. He Li's parents also called the police. I asked Ye Shan, but what did she say...Ye Shan is not feeling well now. Anyway, she told me everything when I asked her. It seems like a supernatural incident as well."

As the classmate spoke, Chen Xin's eyes suddenly froze for a moment.

Looking at the post posted by "Ye Zi" on the phone, and then listening to that classmate relaying Ye Shan's words, isn't this the same thing!
So, "Ye Zi" is Ye Shan?
Chen Xin didn't expect that this would happen right next to him.

"Fuck, is this true? I've been to Qingyan Ancient Town, and maybe I've been inside that ancient house."

Zhou Lei said with his eyes wide open.

"I don't know if it's true or not, but there's no need for Ye Shan to make up such a thing, right?"

That classmate wasn't sure either.

"Why haven't we noticed so many ghostly things around us before? Is this the so-called law of attraction? Because of the incident with the confinement center, we are all thinking about ghosts, so supernatural events appear around us?"

Fan Chengdong's words made everyone pause, and Zhou Lei asked directly:

"Boss Fan, didn't you say that the matter about the confinement center was fake?"

"Haha, some things, if you think they are fake, then they are fake."

Fan Chengdong said something ambiguous, which made everyone feel a little nervous.

Coupled with what happened to Wu Mengmeng and He Li, the party that was originally scheduled to last until 5pm ended at 3pm.

Before leaving, Zhuo Junhao received another request from his classmates, hoping to receive magical tools.

Chen Xin and Li Ruonan were sent back to the community. When they entered the door, Li Ruonan called Chen Xin.

"Hey!"

Chen Xin turned his head.

"what happened?"

"for you."

Li Ruonan spread out her palm, and a wooden bead with a red string appeared in Chen Xin's sight.

"This is... Zhuo Junhao's magic weapon? How did it get into your hands?"

Chen Xin was surprised.

"Why is there so much nonsense?"

Li Ruonan looked at Chen Xin with contempt, put the beads in Chen Xin's hand and went home.

Chen Xin looked at the beads in his hand, but couldn't figure out how this thing ended up in Li Ruonan's hand.

But now that I have it, I'll study it first.

Bang, Chen Xin closed his own security door.

On the other side, Li Ruonan smiled with satisfaction when she saw that Chen Xin did not return the things.

The wooden bead was given to her by Zhuo Junhao when he found her after they dispersed today. At that time, Zhuo Junhao said that it would take time to prepare other magic weapons, so he asked her to use it for self-defense first.

Originally, Li Ruonan didn't want to take someone else's love away, but when she remembered that Chen Xin had called her and wanted it too, she accepted it.

"You are too timid, not even as brave as a girl. I hope the beads can make you braver, otherwise you won't dare to turn off the lights and go to bed at night."

Li Ruonan put her hands behind her back and walked towards her room, shaking her head, looking like an old mother who was worried sick.

……

After Chen Xin returned to the room, he observed the bead for a long time. Apart from the shiny patina on it, he found nothing else. Thinking of the patina, Chen Xin remembered where he had taken it out from, and immediately put the bead down.

"The patina on this thing shouldn't be made of the chemical compounds from Zhuo Junhao's body, right?"

"However, with Zhuo Junhao's family background, it is possible that he has come into contact with someone with real skills. Maybe it is true, but how can I test its authenticity?"

Chen Xin studied it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what was so magical about this so-called magic weapon.

Feeling a bit regretful, Chen Xin placed the wooden beads on the side of the desk and paid no more attention to them.

Turning on the computer, entering the forum, and clicking on Ye Shan’s post, Chen Xin finally saw the reply from "天残地缺".

After reading the comments, Chen Xin immediately took out the "Compendium of Town Objects" and began to write furiously.

After several revisions, Chen Xin finished writing.

Chen Xin's heart skipped a beat as he watched the words on the pages disappear and reappear.

"Is He Li really involved in a supernatural incident?"

Only true supernatural events can be recorded successfully!

In other words, Wu Mengmeng and He Li, two people who were in conflict with each other, fell into the abyss because of each other.

So, the truth is not to get angry.

With emotion, Chen Xin turned his gaze to the new talisman.

……

"Defending against evil: Paper-cutting of substitutes"

Uses: To replace death, to suppress evil

Current power: Yincha level
Current number of existing ones: 0
Town Description:

Those who are haunted by ghosts will become emaciated.

In ancient times, there was a method to ward off evil and avoid death. One could cut paper into the shape of a human being to ward off disaster and avoid death.

The method is:
“Take a piece of white paper, cut it into a human shape, and fumigate it with incense for seven hours.

When the paper-cut turns yellow, write the name and birth date of the substitute on it, and then soak it in rooster blood.

After drying, the paper-cut turns dark red, with the words hidden inside.

That’s it! ”

Place paper-cuts in places where ghosts are active. When the ghosts see the paper-cuts, they will make them into people and attach themselves to them.

Remember, paper-cuts have a limited lifespan, so burn them promptly or expose them to the sun.

If there is a danger of being discovered, you need to find other talismans to protect yourself.

……

Looking at the newly appeared talisman, Chen Xin felt satisfied.

With this, even if you encounter a situation that Zhuye Stone Town and the placenta sac cannot handle, you can escape in time.

Although it is not an offensive talisman like the Zhuye Stone Town, it is obvious that the substitute paper-cut is more in line with Chen Xin's wishes.

Now the only thing Chen Xin is confused about is the last note in the instructions.

According to that meaning, paper cutting actually has risks, and it is not all good after using it.

Moreover, Chen Xin can do the exposure to the sun, but burning?
Can the paper-cuts condensed from the "Collection of Town Objects" be summoned again after being burned?

Chen Xin didn’t know and could only find out after testing it later.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for Ye Shan to take action."

Chen Xin still admires Ye Shan very much.

Everything she did has gone beyond the scope of ordinary friends. If He Li can really be rescued, she will at least kowtow to Ye Shan.

……

2 points in the early hours.

In a homestay in Qingyan Ancient Town, Fenying City.

Ye Shan wrote down He Li's birth date on the paper-cut that had been smoked for 14 hours.
