Chapter 52: Urban Supernatural 4 Do you think I look like a human or a demon? ...

At the moment when the Fourth Grandmother was about to touch him, Chen Qi spread out his hands and shrugged without any panic.

He looked past the Fourth Grandmother, his eyes gleaming as he grinned, "Look behind us, who's coming?"

The Fourth Grandmother turned around and saw Wu Yue standing behind her. Her incomprehensible strength made her alert.

Wu Yue had just finished taking a shower and was wearing Chen Qi's pajamas.

The clothes were too loose, and even after she rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs, they were still loose, and her hair was wet and hanging down.

The Fourth Grandmother had never seen Wu Yue before, but she coveted her pure and spiritual aura. She looked calculatingly at her, "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am." The unknown person's provocation, Wu Yue was too lazy to talk nonsense, the pointed vine branches pierced through the Fourth Ancestor's body and tore her into pieces.

Leaving behind only a scream, the Fourth Grandmother turned into a piece of paper and disappeared, leaving only burning ashes in the air.

Chen Qi was dumbfounded. He had thought that Wu Yue must be very powerful, but he didn't expect her to be that powerful!

"Miss Wu... you are so capable." He expressed admiration, but at the same time he also felt inferior and wanted to become stronger.

Wu Yue was yawning and feeling sleepy. When she leaned against the tree, she had already fallen asleep in the moonlight.

"Don't be envious, you can do the same in the future." She turned and left, wearing a pair of flowery shoes woven from rattan branches.

Chen Qi had a different understanding of her words.

He turned on the flashlight and followed behind her. He smelled the fragrance emanating from Wu Yue, which was the same as his own. Chen Qi raised the corners of his mouth. He was in a good mood and felt an indescribable sweetness.

When they walked a distance away from the door, Chen Qi turned around and saw the house turning into ashes and disappearing inch by inch.

Such a big house can burn like a piece of paper. There is no big noise, and the ashes are blown away by the wind.

Like a paper mannequin of a living person...even the house is made of paper. Is this the underworld where he has been living?

Chen Qi returned home lost in thought. He had a lot of questions to ask. Seeing Wu Yue sitting in a bamboo rocking chair, he poured her some tea.

While he was hesitating about how to ask, Wu Yue took the initiative to speak after drinking tea, and Chen Qi sat on a chair beside her.

"You've been different from ordinary people since birth. While most people possess three souls and seven spirits, you possess one more soul and one spirit. This soul and spirit carry the power of destiny. In other words, eating you is like eating destiny. This is a powerful tonic. Spirits can circumvent the rules and transform into humans, and practitioners can also achieve great fortune."

"Your grandfather was a paper-folding craftsman, and he knew a bit about the art. He used his own life to hide this danger for you, allowing you to live safely as an ordinary person. But you still came back."

Some people are born with a destiny that is destined to take them, and no matter how they try to avoid it, the road will eventually return to the track.

Chen Qi's eyes were hot, "Grandpa..."

But now was not the time to be sentimental. He wiped away the tears from his eyes, "I heard from the fourth...the paper figure that all the people here are paper figures? Could it be that the people I met as a child weren't living people? And, also, the third uncle I met on the day I came back."

"When you were born, you caused the night parade of a hundred demons. Some couldn't be driven away, but you couldn't let them get close to you, so your grandfather made paper figures and sealed them in. Now that your grandfather is dead, they're free and will naturally come looking for you, wanting to eat you for nourishment."

That's why Wu Yue had said before that this was an uninhabited village. There were only two living people here, Old Craftsman Chen and Chen Qi. All the things in life were just illusions that Chen Qi saw.

Chen Qi was stunned when he heard this. All of this overturned the cognition he had learned in his twenty years of life. It seemed like a lie.

But the facts were in front of him, all true. Grandpa had sacrificed himself to protect him... Chen Qi's heart was very sad, two lines of tears fell, he covered his face and cried.

Sadness is not mutual. Wu Yue said coldly, "If you have time to cry, you might as well find a way to become stronger." "Today it's a paper man possessed by a wild ghost, tomorrow it will be a whole group, and they won't stop until they can eat you."

Otherwise, I wouldn't describe it this way. The hero narrowly escaped death in a deserted village. The outside world was surrounded, and getting out wasn't easy. But he had to act, or he'd just sit there and wait for death.

Chen Qi took a deep breath, his eyes were red, but he held back his tears and tried hard to calm down.

He knew now was not the time to panic.

Even though he knew there was danger, Wu Yue still asked him to go so that he could experience it for himself and then believe it.

Chen Qi looked at Wu Yue and asked her with certainty, "Miss Wu, do you have a way to make me stronger?"

He's not stupid. If she says so, then she will teach him, otherwise grandpa wouldn't ask her to protect him.

Wu Yue nodded slightly, "I only promised your grandfather one month. How much you can learn depends entirely on your luck."

This was the promised month. After that, the protection provided by the paper figures left by Master Chen was useless, and the big boss came in.

By then she will have gone through the cannon fodder plot and completed the mission.

Chen Qi nodded, his face solemn. "It's my honor that Miss Wu agreed to teach me. I will study hard!"

This was not only for himself, but also because of his grandfather's sacrifice, and... He didn't want to be in danger and only be protected by Wu Yue. He wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with her. However, Chen Qi kept this little thought to himself.

"Read the book yourself first. If you have any questions, ask me tomorrow. This is your Chen family's property. Your grandfather left it with me for many years, and I'm returning it to you now."

Wu Yue put down an old, pale yellow book and a pair of scissors that were worn, rusty, but still sharp.

They are all treasures of paper-folding craftsmen, and have been passed down in the Chen family for more than ten generations. It is said that these scissors are also spiritual.

"Wu..." Chen Qi had a lot to say, but Wu Yue had already stood up. "Where is my room?"

Chen Qi put away the book and scissors and said, "This way."

There are not many rooms in the house. They were cleaned when grandpa was still alive. Chen Qi can just make the bed and sleep there.

However, the room Chen Qi took him to was well decorated. He opened the door and looked back at Wu Yue, but for some reason he felt guilty and didn't dare to look into her eyes. Chen Qi's eyes were vague and he tried to explain.

"Well... because it's just me and Grandpa living at home, the guest room is simple, with nothing in it except a wooden bed. You... Master, you can sleep in my room."

Wu Yue hummed in confusion, "Master?"

Chen Qi explained dryly, blurting out, "I just think calling you Miss Wu is too unfamiliar. And since you are willing to teach me skills, you are my master after all..."

Seeing Wu Yue's silence, he also became nervous and immediately changed his words, "If you don't like it, then I won't call you."

Wu Yue shook her head slightly, "It's okay, it's just a name anyway."

She looked around the room and found it was indeed decorated in a young people's style, but... her eyes fell on the clothes hook.

All I saw was a pair of big red shorts hanging there, and judging from the width of the shorts, they were really big.

"I'll clean it up right away!" Chen Qi followed her gaze and his face turned red instantly, feeling very shy.

The bright red underwear was a prize he won in a lottery using his supermarket points before returning home. There were five pairs of underwear in a box, and they were of good quality. He was used to saving money, so of course he would wear them.

I was tidying up the room just now and didn't notice that my pants were still hanging. It was really embarrassing.

Chen Qi hurriedly picked up his pants and clothes and stuffed them into the box. When he passed Wu Yue, his heartbeat was still pounding and accelerating. "Master, it's late. You should rest first. If you need anything, feel free to call me. I'm next door."

"Wait a moment"

Wu Yue suddenly called him and Chen Qi turned around.

"What is this...box?" Wu Yue pointed to the computer and mobile phone in Chen Qi's hands, showing curiosity.

Of course she knew, but as an antique that had been sealed for thousands of years, this character certainly didn't know.

"These are mobile phones, computers, and modern internet-connected electronic devices." Chen Qi explained, but Master probably didn't understand. "Master, do you want to play with them? I have another pair of mobile phones that I'm not using."

He and his classmates opened a second-hand shop at school, specializing in collecting second-hand mobile phones, computers, cameras, etc., repairing them and then reselling them, so he never lacked mobile phones.

"Network electronic equipment?" Wu Yue pretended not to understand and sighed, "The world a thousand years later, so this is what it will be like..."

Chen Qi listened in silence, and suddenly wanted to know what she was like a thousand years ago. That was... a time he had no involvement with.

"Master, this is a mobile phone. The password is three 8s. I will set up fingerprint unlocking for you..." Chen Qi pulled a chair over and sat next to teach. He got closer and smelled the fragrance on Wu Yue's body.

By turning her head, she could see her serious profile, with curved eyelashes, upturned corners of her mouth, and her eyes holding a sparse light. She was full of energy and curiosity about new things. Chen Qi was a little dazed, his heartbeat quickened a lot, and his cheeks were hot.

Master is so handsome and a nice person. It would be great if I could always be with him. That should be possible.

Seeing the master entering fingerprints obediently, Chen Qi suddenly thought of a question: Do non-humans have fingerprints that can be used?

Fortunately, the entry was successful and it can still be used.

Chen Qi taught for a while, and seeing that Wu Yue got the hang of it quickly and he was having fun, he didn't disturb her.

After being taught how to turn off the lights, Chen Qi left the room and took a cold shower with his clothes. His whole body was cold, which was enough to cool down his hot body. However, at such a young age, Chen Qi tossed and turned on the hard bed and couldn't fall asleep.

The next day, he woke up at around six o'clock and saw that it was just a dream. There was a mess under him. Chen Qi scratched his hair in annoyance and quickly got up to clean it up.

At dawn, there were dripping pants hanging on the clothesline in the yard, and Chen Qi felt guilty.

He went into the kitchen and made a simple breakfast. Seeing that his master was still sleeping, Chen Qi hesitated whether to leave a message saying that breakfast was warming in the kitchen. Then he saw Wu Yue coming out yawning.

She hadn't slept well, and her voice was lazy, "Chen Qi."

"Master, I'm here."

Chen Qi came to her immediately and saw that Wu Yue was still confused and walked over the threshold. He subconsciously grabbed her hand to prevent her from falling, and Wu Yue didn't notice that they had bumped into each other.

As for Chen Qi, due to some little thought hidden in his heart, his fingertips touched the back of Wu Yue's hand, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he quietly let her go, but he seemed reluctant to do so.

Wu Yue handed him the phone and said, "I have to top up the money. I can't pass the level."

It's so infuriating. After getting stuck, a reminder pops up asking for money, but Wu Yue hates paying money when playing games. What she enjoys is the satisfaction of winning without paying.

But she got stuck at the last moment and couldn't pass, which made her feel even more upset, as she still had to spend money in the end.

Chen Qi was puzzled. He took the phone and felt it was very hot. The whole phone was heating up and seemed to be about to burn.

The interface is a Candy Crush game, and I am almost done with it, but it gets stuck and I can't pass it. In short, I still have to recharge money.

Chen Qi “…”

His eyelids twitched wildly. Did the master stay up all night? It seemed so, but he couldn't tell.

Forget it, Master is a demon. He just came into the mortal world and is exposed to new things, so it is understandable that he would be addicted to electronic products.

Chen Qi was not stingy. "Master, I have already topped it up. The password is also three eights. I have also bound a card to this phone. You can pay for whatever you want in the future."

Wu Yue spread out her hands, obviously still wanting to play, "Well, give it to me."

After twenty-two years, she wanted to have enough fun before logging off. She had rarely touched it before, but not liking it and not being able to do it were two different things, and she wouldn't feel comfortable without playing.

"Master, the phone has been on standby for too long. If you continue playing with it, the internal parts will burn out, and it's out of battery." Chen Qi put the phone away. "I'm going to the county market later. Master, do you want to go back and catch up on some sleep, or come with me?"

If he continued playing, he would be overly addicted. Chen Qi agreed to everything, but this was not right. He had to be timely.

Wu Yue raised her eyelids and glanced at him. Chen Qi was a cheerful boy with a smile on his face, but his attitude was very firm. He seemed casual, but in fact he had his own set of rules.

Wu Yue didn't force herself to play, "I'll go with you."

Let him leave the village on his own and don't let him die on the way. Outside this village, there are dangers everywhere, and countless eyes are staring at him.

Chen Qi grinned, "Okay, let's eat a little first to fill our stomachs. When we get to the county, Master can buy more if he sees anything he likes."

He took his phone back to charge it and brought breakfast to Wu Yue. He fried an egg for her, but seeing that Wu Yue didn't like it, Chen Qi didn't want to waste food, so he put it in his own bowl. He had a good appetite and ate it in two or three bites.

After eating a few bites and feeling half full, Chen Qi put on a black bag and took Wu Yue out.

Walking on the road, Chen Qi was also flipping through the sorcerer's book. He studied it until midnight last night. "Master, I don't quite understand this..."

"Huh?" Wu Yue was pulling the dogtail grass and tilted her head to look. Chen Qi, who was a head taller than her, bent down consciously.

Wu Yue explained to him slowly, "Well... what it means is that although paper figures have no souls, people do have spirits..."

Chen Qi seemed to understand what he said. He turned the pages of the book with his left hand and played with the scissors with his right hand, circling his fingers.

After walking for a while, they turned and walked into a small path. The white fog on both sides became thicker and thicker until they could no longer see the human figures.

Something is wrong, and the fog is not normal.

Chen Qi stopped and found that there was no one around him. He waved his hand to clear away the fog in front of him, "Master? Master!"

No one answered, and he reached out to feel around but couldn't find anyone.

Chen Qi knew that the creatures targeting him must have come again.

He knew Wu Yue's abilities, but he still worried about her. At this moment, he hated his own powerlessness and passivity.

There was no point in complaining about himself. Chen Qi closed his eyes and opened them again, full of determination to learn some skills.

He put away the sorcerer's book, held the scissors, and stepped forward. Chen Qi took a few steps cautiously, and even though he was hiding in the white mist, he could see the scene in front of him clearly.

I saw a weasel in front of me, with its hind paws on the ground and its front paws raised, worshiping the sky devoutly.

In the half-dawn when the morning sun was obscured, its silhouette blended into the mist, looking mysterious and eerie.

The sky was just beginning to brighten, and in the distance was the rising sun, not yet radiating its light, but still dark. Above was the moon, not yet disappearing, hidden between two dark clouds.

As the weasel put its front paws together and worshiped the moon, it seemed as if a beam of light fell on it, as if it was bathing in holy light, and the smile on the corners of its mouth looked very similar to that of a human.

The scene was strange. Chen Qi knew that the weasel in front of him must be extraordinary, but he didn't intend to disturb it.

But just as he was about to walk behind the weasel and leave, the weasel still stood on its hind legs and walked like a human. It turned its head, and a human-like smile appeared on its furry face. It stared at Chen Qi with its eyes and spoke in human language, but its voice was not fluent.

It is asking, "Do you think I look like a human or a demon?"

If you don't know the enemy's situation, you should keep your troops in place.

Chen Qi didn't look at it. His drooping hands were holding the scissors tightly. He maintained the best state of vigilance and continued walking without stopping.

He walked past the weasel, and the next second, the weasel appeared in front of him again, still keeping its front paws folded in worship, and tilted its head, smiling and asking him again.

"Do you think I look like a human or a demon?"

It seems that this is its purpose.

Chen Qi had heard of weasels seeking titles, but he had never expected to encounter one himself. No matter whether he spoke or kept silent, he couldn't get rid of it.

I just don't know whether this is a real monster, a paper weasel that has come back to life, or a monster possessing the paper.

Paper Zha can be used to prick people or animals. As long as you add a dot to their eyes, nearby ghosts and spirits will possess them, either trapping them or bringing them back to life.

However, it is useless for ordinary people to add eyes. It requires a skilled paper-making craftsman and special methods to do it.
