Even though Xiao Tangqiu had a strong heart, he almost had a heart attack from Tang Mianmian's words. Not only did he feel a chill running up his tailbone, but even his scalp felt numb. "...Don't make such jokes in a place like this, it'll scare people to death..."
His tone was a little shaky, because he found that Tang Mianmian and Lu Si'er's frightened eyes were very serious, and it didn't look like they were joking or playing a prank on him. The next moment, he suddenly felt his shoulder sink slightly, as if something had fallen on his shoulder.
At this moment, not only did Xiao Tangqiu's scalp feel numb, but even his hair stood up.
"Qiuqiu...you...on your shoulder..." Tang Mianmian's eyes suddenly became even more terrified.
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly felt half of his shoulder go numb, and he even felt a bone-chilling chill spreading along his shoulder. He was stiff for a few seconds, and then he suddenly reacted with a start and tried to shake off the thing on his shoulder.
He originally thought that it would be difficult to get rid of the thing once it got on his body, but to his surprise, when he shook it off violently, his shoulder suddenly felt lighter, and the thing was actually thrown away by him.
But he didn't dare to stay in this room any longer. He quickly grabbed Tang Mianmian's wrist, turned around and ran towards the door.
However, just as Xiao Tangqiu ran to the door, he suddenly heard Tang Mianmian's terrified scream: "Qiuqiu! Qiuqiu!"
Xiao Tangqiu paused. Why did Tang Mianmian's voice... seem a little far away from him?
He turned around, but was shocked to find that Tang Mianmian and Lu Si'er were still standing there, looking at him with fear... Wait! Since Tang Mianmian was still there, whose hand was he holding now?
He stiffly turned his head and finally saw clearly the person he was holding hands with—it was the simple puppet he had seen in the corner earlier! He was holding the puppet's small hand, and the puppet was floating in mid-air, its eyes made of black stones emitting a faint glow in the swaying candlelight.
The puppet's hands are very small, and they don't have the cold texture of wood. Instead, they have the warm and delicate touch of human skin... As soon as this thought came to mind, Xiao Tangqiu felt creepy.
In shock, he didn't even care about being afraid. Instead, he stared at the puppet intently. The more he looked at it, the more horrified he became. Although the puppet was made crudely, the texture of its skin was very delicate and lifelike, comparable to real human skin. Not to mention wood, even resin didn't have this texture. Moreover, if you look closely, the puppet's hair seemed to be made of real human hair. He even saw a few white hairs mixed in it - it is impossible for ordinary dolls to have white hair!
Xiao Tangqiu was so frightened that he immediately threw the puppet away. However, as soon as he let go, the puppet swayed and floated into the air. Heishizi's eyes looked at him resentfully. The next second, the puppet's hair suddenly began to grow wildly, growing a full one or two meters, and then it shot towards Xiao Tangqiu with its fangs and claws bared.
Xiao Tangqiu's wrist was instantly entangled by the puppet's hair. The hair was so dense and tough that no matter how he struggled, he couldn't get rid of it. Instead, the hair became tighter and tighter. He watched helplessly as the puppet was pulling him over little by little with its hair, and he was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Don't be afraid! I'm here to save you!" Tang Mianmian shouted, picked up a pillow from the bed, and swung it hard at the puppet floating in the air. He was very strong, but the puppet was hit hard by the pillow and didn't move at all. Instead, the pillow broke and the feathers inside leaked out.
Amidst the feathers flying all over the sky, the puppet looked at Tang Mianmian with resentment, and quickly separated a few strands of hair to wrap around Tang Mianmian's ankles. Its strength was so great that it actually hung Tang Mianmian upside down in the air.
"Ahhh! Help!" Tang Mianmian struggled desperately in mid-air.
Xiao Tangqiu was speechless about Tang Mianmian, but also a little moved. Seeing that the puppet was distracted by Tang Mianmian, he quickly took the opportunity to struggle, but the puppet soon realized his intention and tightened the hair around him again.
"Let me go! You ugly freak!" Tang Mianmian screamed while struggling. The puppet didn't know if it could understand him, but it actually separated a strand of hair and wrapped it around his neck, and threw him against the wall. With a loud "bang", he was almost knocked unconscious.
Xiao Tangqiu struggled desperately, signaling with his eyes that Lu Si'er should find something to save them. However, Lu Si'er stood there at a loss, obviously frightened out of her mind. Xiao Tangqiu had no idea what else could save them, so he could only think of what to call: "...Lighter! Do you have a lighter?"
Lu Si'er turned pale with fear: "No, no... I don't smoke..."
Xiao Tangqiu didn't have any either. All he had on him now were the hemostatic agent and a flashlight. He had even eaten up the only candy ball he brought from the real world, and Tang Mianmian had even less. He continued to shout without hope: "Where are the scissors? Where is the knife? Do you have any?"
Lu Si'er said with a sad face: "I don't have it either..."
Xiao Tangqiu was almost in despair, but in a flash, he suddenly remembered his special skill card. Someone had rewarded him with a flashlight before, so would someone reward him with some handy weapons this time?
He held onto the last glimmer of hope and activated his special skill card. In an instant, countless bullet screens appeared before his eyes.
"High energy ahead!"
"High energy ahead! Sexy anchor live streaming a one-on-one duel with the puppet monster!"
"Come place your bets! If you think the host will win, deduct 1, if you think the puppet monster will win, deduct 2, and if you think both sides will perish, deduct 3!"
"11111 I bet the little anchor will win! I bet 10 yellow talismans! Go anchor!"
…
What the hell is all this?! He's almost dead! What's the point of betting?! Human lives are at stake! Why is no one giving me tips at this crucial moment?!
Just when Xiao Tangqiu was so depressed that he felt like vomiting blood, the only comment that looked like a suggestion immediately caught his attention - "Why not use the painting on the wall? That thing is much more lethal than a pillow, right?"
He realized instantly, yes! The picture frame has sharp edges and corners, which can be regarded as a lethal weapon!
"Painting! The painting on the wall! Throw it to me!" Xiao Tangqiu hurriedly shouted at Lu Sier.
Lu Si'er paused for a moment. Although she was a little afraid of the painting, she quickly took it down and threw it towards Xiao Tangqiu from a distance... However, her strength was a little weak. Not only did she fail to throw it to Xiao Tangqiu, but she threw it directly at the puppet.
Xiao Tangqiu felt a chill in his heart, thinking it was all over. However, at this moment, an accident suddenly happened - the moment the painting touched the puppet, the puppet suddenly let out a shrill scream, as if filled with fear, and the next second, the puppet disappeared!
