Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 33 It’s coming

Before Chen Xin saw Ye Shan say that in the group, he actually already knew about He Li's affairs.

When he woke up this morning, he replayed the scene after discovering that the stand-in paper cut had taken effect.

Then, he saw the process of Ye Shan making the paper-cut substitute. He was somewhat surprised at Ye Shan's strength in killing the chicken, and was also surprised at her persistence in He Li.

Most students would not do this. At least Chen Xin himself thought that without any means of saving his life, he would not dare to go to a supernatural place alone to save people.

But no matter how much he admired Ye Shan at the beginning, the scene of Ye Shan running away early at the end still made Chen Xin's face turn black.

Originally, he wanted to complain that Ye Shan ran away too early and didn’t take the paper-cut.

But after Chen Xin saw the ghosts gathered in the main house, he fell silent.

If Ye Shan really waited there, she would probably not see the sun the next day.

There were so many ghosts in that house that at first glance there were about twelve or thirteen of them, all dressed like maids and servants from fifty or sixty years ago.

Under the guidance of the man in the photo, the ghosts brought the paper-cut into the photo and placed it on the chair next to the man. As for He Li, she was excluded from the photo.

Chen Xin didn’t know what He Li looked like in their eyes at this moment, but obviously, the paper-cutting must have looked like He Li in their eyes!
Afterwards, the photo was like a black and white TV, playing various images, beating drums and gongs, and full of joy.

And the protagonist is a man and...paper cutting.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Chen Xin always felt that there was another world in the photo. However, he could only perceive the part of the space shown in the photo. Beyond the original range of the photo, it was pitch black.

For example, when entering the bridal chamber, after the paper-cut was taken out of the range of the photo, he could no longer sense the existence of the paper-cut, which was a pity...

This supernatural event was beyond Chen Xin's limited knowledge.

However, the consumption of 20 points of Yin De did not bring any rewards, which made Chen Xin a little unhappy.

Looking at the lonely 1 bit of Yinde, Chen Xin was thinking about one thing.

Do you want to drop the Candle Night Stone Town into that house at night?

There are so many ghosts in that house, and you should be able to earn 20 points of Yinde by killing a few of them.

But whether it was the man in the photo or those almost materialized ghosts, they all made Chen Xin a little hesitant.

During the previous polling bureau test, Chen Xin knew that Zhuye Shizhen also had times when he was unable to do anything.

If the Zhuye Stone Town was dropped there, and the stone town was destroyed after a few ghosts were killed, what would be the consequences?
Chen Xin did not doubt whether Zhuye Stone Town could be re-condensed, but did it require good deeds points to re-condense?

Most likely yes.

If it is 1 o'clock, everyone will be happy. If it is 10 o'clock, 20 o'clock... Chen Xin is afraid that the good karma gained by Zhuye Stone Town will not be able to offset the good karma needed for condensation, which would be bad.

Without the Zhuye Stone Town at home, Chen Xin...can't sleep!
So I decided not to take the risk.

Chen Xin decided to wait for the test from the Public Opinion Survey Bureau and think about this matter after the Yinde points from there arrived.

He opened the "Compendium of Magical Objects" and touched the page "Protecting Evil - Substitute Paper-Cutting".

A small dark red paper-cut, only half the size of a palm, appeared.

Chen Xin picked it up, with curiosity in his eyes.

"My birth date is written on this paper-cut? If so, then I am the only one who can use this paper-cut substitute?"

After playing with it for a while, Chen Xin put the paper cutting in his wallet, then took his phone downstairs and rode his bike out of the community.

When I came back it was already an hour later.

At this time, he was holding a stack of ten white cardboards and ten incense sticks.

Chen Xin is preparing to make his own paper-cut stand-in!

Since stand-in paper-cuts are consumables, the more the better!
Chen Xin can cut 10 paper figures out of each of the 4 pieces of cardboard.

In order to avoid cutting it badly, Chen Xin also used cardboard to cut out a mold for the paper man in advance.

In this way, 40 blank paper cuts were quickly made.

Chen Xin wrote down his name and date of birth on 20 of them, and then drew 20 from the remaining 3.

My uncle, aunt, and grandmother each wrote one.

It’s not that Chen Xin didn’t want to write about more people, but he only knew the birthdays of these three relatives.

So, there were 17 blank paper-cuts left. Chen Xin thought about it and wrote Li Ruonan and Zhou Lei on them. He also knew their birthdays.

Chen Xin put away the remaining 15 blank paper-cuts for future use.

After working for a while, Chen Xin found the barbecue grill that his father had bought when he went fishing outdoors.

After setting up the kitchen, Chen Xin placed 25 blank paper-cuts one by one, just like a barbecue, just enough to fill it up.

Then he poured half a bag of rice into the place where the charcoal was originally placed in the barbecue grill, and inserted the incense sticks one by one.

Light the incense sticks, turn on the range hood, and the stand-in paper-cutting assembly line starts working.

One incense stick can burn for half an hour. Because there were a lot of paper cuttings, Chen Xin inserted ten incense sticks into the barbecue grill at a time.

In this way, Chen Xin has to change the incense every half hour.

"It's 5pm now, and it will take 12 hours to burn until 7pm. A total of 140 incense sticks will be consumed. I will continue to burn for another 7 hours tomorrow, and the first step will be completed."

"After the first step is completed, go buy a chicken and bleed it... Send the bled chicken to Li Ruonan's house and ask Aunt Zhang to make a fried chicken for us."

After making the plan, Chen Xin set an alarm on his phone and went to do other things. …

Although the days in summer are a little longer, they are still coming.

At Lingyuan Central Hospital, He Li was lying on the hospital bed receiving an infusion.

After returning today, He Li underwent a series of examinations. Apart from some malnutrition, there were no other problems.

But He Li's parents still insisted on having He Li be hospitalized.

The reason for doing this is, of course, to make the people from Guiliao Media pay more money.

He Li knew it and didn't reject it.

Because after this incident, she probably won't be able to be the anchor of Guiliao Media anymore. So, it would be better to let her parents make a fuss.

After the infusion, He Li kept chatting with Ye Shan.

Compared to her parents, she wanted Ye Shan to come to the hospital to accompany her.

But Ye Shan has been running around for her for so long, and she doesn't want Ye Shan to continue to work hard.

While the two were chatting, He Li heard about paper cutting from Ye Shan.

He Li was willing to believe everything Ye Shan said.

Because apart from supernatural events, she couldn't find any other answer to explain this matter.

But when she learned from Ye Shan that the other party had gone to Qingyan Ancient Town again and wanted to take out the paper-cut and burn it!

He Li was terrified and told Ye Shan not to take any risks.

But Ye Shan told her not to worry, saying that she would go there tomorrow morning, and told He Li about the crisis that would arise if she didn't burn it.

Seeing this, He Li felt uneasy.

"Take care of yourself."

After the two chatted for a while, it was 11 o'clock in the evening.

After saying good night to each other, He Li felt a little dazed after putting down her phone.

I don’t know how long I slept, but He Li was suddenly awakened by a chill.

When she opened her eyes, He Li discovered that her quilt had been kicked off, and it seemed that the air conditioning in the ward was turned on a little low by the people in the same ward.

Heaving a sigh of relief, He Li bent down and pulled the quilt up from the ground.

Oh no!
A piece of paper fell out from under the quilt.

He Li was puzzled and reached out to pick up the paper.

It's blank, there's nothing.

Suddenly, her hand felt the back of the paper seemed a little smooth. She turned her wrist and the paper was turned over.

Upon seeing this, He Li's body began to tremble.

This isn't paper, it's a photo!
Look at the man in the photo and the broken paper cutting under his feet.

He Li threw the photo away with a look of horror on her face and screamed loudly.

“It’s coming, it’s coming, ah!!!”

But what He Li didn't realize was that when she picked up the photo, the area around her was no longer a ward.

But, it’s the main house of the Li family mansion!
……

Qingyan Ancient Town.

In a hotel not far from the Li family mansion, late at night, a man sitting in front of a computer took a look at one of the nine surveillance images on the computer screen.

enlarge.

After a few clicks of the mouse, he stopped and took out his cell phone.

"Scorpion, the photo is gone. Do we need to get it back?"

"No need. The Li family mansion has been under surveillance. It's just right for it to escape. You clean up. Once it finds its target and stops, I will give you a new address to monitor."

"it is good."

"Oh, right, look for the girl who sneaked in yesterday, and find out what the red paper she threw out is. If it's the work of the 'God's Messenger', kill the girl and warn them."

“Okay, what if it’s the polling bureau?”

"...Then find a chance to take the photos and leave. I don't want to run into a temporary worker from the polling bureau."

"it is good."

"Also, leave some of the other evil spirits that have infested the Li family mansion there. We can't let the Public Opinion Bureau leave empty-handed."

"it is good."
