In our long-standing and historically rich land of China, many professions have their own rules and taboos. This is especially true for ancient and mysterious crafts.
For instance, when engag...
Just as the big yellow dog hid in Zhao Youliang's bed, a strange Peking Opera singing style drifted in.
"I bow down and respectfully say, 'Lord City God, please listen carefully: the human heart is more treacherous than a demon, where can I, a poor soul, seek justice?'"
"The resentment never ceases... the resentment never ceases, only white bones lie scattered across a thousand miles of snow..."
After the singing, there was a strange and chilling laugh. In the midst of the laughter, the two eerie puppets suddenly floated up and drifted straight toward the door of the paper-making shop.
"Hehehe, the twenty-year term is up, you will all die!"
But just as the two puppets approached the door, a black wall of fire suddenly appeared from the line between life and death.
Upon seeing this, the two puppets quickly stopped, their eerie laughter filled with even more resentment.
"Why? Why won't you let us out now that the twenty-year agreement has expired?!"
"Why?!!"
The female doll's voice was so shrill that it made all the furniture vibrate.
"We refuse to accept this! We are not satisfied!!"
Amidst the accusations, the two puppets suddenly lunged at the black wall of fire, splattering sparks with a loud bang.
Although the doll was bounced back instantly and let out a shrill scream, it still crashed into the other side again after floating up again.
This process repeats itself, over and over again...
The sight made the paper figures around them tremble with fear, huddling together like startled quails in a corner of the room.
After dozens of impacts, the two puppets were covered in wounds and barely breathing, but they had actually managed to break through the line between life and death.
Although only the size of a baby's fist, the lifeline that had trapped them for twenty years eventually broke.
Seeing this, the female doll's laughter became even more pathetic.
"So you weren't lying to us after all. You really will release us in twenty years."
"But there's a price to pay when you get out, right?"
"You're still unfair, you still favor the living!!"
"We refuse to accept this! We are not reconciled!!!"
As he spoke, a chilling wind howled, causing all the paper figures to rustle.
The paper figures became even more frightened, whimpering in unison and covering their scarlet eyes with their hands.
It was as if they dared not face the two puppets floating in the air, dared not face the tragic future of the town...
After a short while, the eerie wind finally stopped, and the two puppets returned to their positions.
Only that eerie voice still echoed in the paper-making shop.
"Although we can't get out for the time being, the living people outside can't expect to have a peaceful life either!"
"They must die, they all have to die!!"
Amidst the roar, two paper figures emerged, giggling, their cheeks bright red, and mechanically moved toward the gap in the line between life and death.
A moment later, they actually crossed the line between life and death, pushed open the door of the paper-making shop, and walked into the town.
Just then, a voice filled with resentment and malice emanated from the female doll once again.
"Where are you two beasts going? Kill that Five Ghost Child who's suppressing us first!"
"It'll be so much easier for us to get out once he's dead, hehehehe..."
Upon receiving the order, the two paper figures immediately turned around, trembling.
I moved slowly, step by step, toward the back door of the paper-making shop.
The actions of the two paper figures naturally alarmed the deities who were worshipped, and the evil spirit trembled with fear.
The grasshopper spirit's eyes darted around anxiously, and after hesitating for a moment, it finally decided to speak.
"Prisoner General, shall we run away?"
“You know better than I do how strange the paper-making shops are. Even if we filled all the people in our gang, we still couldn’t beat them.”
"Rather than throwing away my life in vain, I'd rather keep this body and cultivate it properly, so that one day I can avenge Quantum."
The prisoner ignored the grasshopper spirit, or rather, he disregarded it.
With a roar, he broke free of his shackles and stood in front of the hall, chains in hand.
He was just waiting for the paper figure to dare to come in and hurt Zhao Youliang, then he would fight to the death!
As the prisoners moved, the listless Chang Jie also took to the air.
It slowly left the jar it had been suppressing and slowly flew to the top of Zhao Youliang's head.
Then, as if it had run out of strength, it slammed down on his big head with a "plop".
"My parents are dragons, but I'm just a maggot. How can you explain this?"
Amazingly, the moment Chang Jie placed the object on Zhao Youliang's head, a beam of blue light flowed out from his body.
Not only were Zhao Youliang and himself enveloped, but the entire bedroom was also firmly protected.
However, Chang Jie looked even more tired.
If you were listless and limp just now, you're not far from death now...
Xie Tangxian, who had just been thinking about escaping, had no choice but to reveal himself after seeing that his two bosses had already made their stance clear through their actions.
Holding various bizarre weapons, he stood trembling behind the prisoner.
He secretly planned: Once this madman is harmed by the paper figure, we'll run away immediately!
I ran far away, but I'll never dare to come back and wade into these murky waters again...
Just as Xie Tangxian was planning his escape route, the two paper figures arrived at the back door and, grinning maliciously, pushed the door open with a "bang".
Seeing this, the prepared prisoner immediately yanked the iron chain in his hand hard.
"You'll have to kill me to get in!"
The paper figure continued to grin maliciously, even ignoring the chains that were being pulled at it.
One of the paper figures simply raised its arm and easily grasped the iron chain in its hand.
No matter how hard the prisoner pulled back, he couldn't budge the paper figure at all.
You should know that this iron chain was a magical artifact of the ghost messenger, which Zhao Youliang then gave to the prisoner.
Although it couldn't exert its full power in the hands of the prisoner, it was easily held back by the paper figure... This shows just how terrifying the paper figure is!
As mentioned earlier, the Mad Prisoner is like a proud lion, the kind of person who would rather die than be humiliated.
He dared to fight with all his might to kill Zhao Youliang when facing two ghost messengers, let alone two paper figures.
He simply released the chains, roared, and charged forward, swinging the shackles.
"Die!"
The shackles, accompanied by a whooshing sound, slammed down on the head of one of the paper figures with a bang.
However, instead of deflated with a "poof" as everyone expected, the paper figure emitted a sound similar to the clanging of metal.
After the muffled thud, the prisoner and the paper figure that had been hit both staggered backward.
The prisoner went berserk, giving himself no time to catch his breath, and roared as he spewed "reverse blood" as he charged toward another paper figure.
"Grasshopper, run with Quantum and Chang Jie, now's the time!"
"If you dare to abandon them and escape alone, not only will this general not forgive you, but the Chang family of the Northern Kingdom will not forgive you either!"
"You don't want to witness 'the moon shining on a mountain of corpses, a sea of blood churning like a dragon' with your own eyes, do you?!"
