Chapter 12 Bad Habits
Lin Qingsheng quickly led his men to the bank of the Jialing River. He picked up a telescope and looked towards the bridge across the river.
Under the hanging clouds, a gray figure stood on top of the bridge pillar on that side where a giant steel wire rope was tied. Thousands of giant steel wire ropes hung down from its body, pulling up the bridge.
The black shadow was dressed in an extremely strange style, and just stared blankly at the Jialing River.
On the Jialing River, the wind was whistling, and the dark grey cloak of the figure was blown up by the wind, and the hood attached to the cloak was blown off, revealing a strange face, like a human head sewn together thousands of times.
"According to the description of the person who called the police, the new thing was dressed like a puppet, and its entire cheek looked like it was stitched together."
The police officer next to Lin Qingsheng supplemented the description of the police report.
At this time, the figure seemed to realize something. It looked in the direction of Lin Qingsheng, and a strange smile appeared at the corners of its scarlet mouth.
A pair of hands that also seemed to be pieced together stretched out from the sleeves and gently greeted Lin Qingsheng.
"This thing is so arrogant!"
Lin Qingsheng waved his hand and said to the people around him:
"You don't need to read the police report. I've already read it, and..."
Lin Qingsheng raised his head and put down the telescope in his hand.
"That thing has discovered us."
As if to confirm what Lin Qingsheng said, the puppet jumped directly from the bridge pier over a hundred meters high, turned over and landed on a giant steel rope, slid down along the steel, and landed on the bank of the Jialing River after a few jumps.
The whole movement is smooth and flowing, completely beyond the range of human body mechanics.
On the banks of the Jialing River, the green grass was bent by a pair of feet made of linen.
On the bank of the Jialing River, the puppet and Lin Qingsheng and others looked at each other. At this time, it was only a few hundred meters away from Lin Qingsheng and others.
“Crack!”
This is the sound of friction of modern firearms in the Ming Dynasty and the sound of bullets being loaded, full of the mechanical beauty of industrial society.
Lin Qingsheng and others instantly became alert and immediately pulled the safety of their guns.
But the puppet didn't seem to care. It took a step and walked slowly and gracefully towards Lin Qingsheng and others.
It’s hard to imagine that the word “elegant” can be used to describe such a weird puppet.
But it is so appropriate.
The river breeze weighed down the grass and also suppressed the atmosphere.
"Hold still, or I'll shoot you if you move forward."
Lin Qingsheng warned in a cold voice.
But the puppet didn't react at all. Instead, the corners of its mouth opened, revealing its sharp fangs, as if it was greeting them.
"Fire!"
Lin Qingsheng opened fire first.
“Bang! Bang! Bang…”
Then there was a burst of gunfire and sparks appeared.
Bullets poured down on the puppet like a flood, splashing sparks.
But this still did not stop the puppet from moving forward. Its body did not seem to be made of cotton at all, but rather like steel plates.
The bullet bounced off without leaving any trace.
The shooting lasted for a full ten seconds without causing any damage to the puppet.
Instead, the puppet came within a hundred meters of Lin Qingsheng and others.
He reached out and patted the place on his body that was hit by the bullet, and a strange expression appeared on the puppet's face full of stitches.
"Firing a gun is not the way to greet a friend."
A sound like the friction of glaciers came out of the puppet's mouth.
"This~~ can actually talk."
Lin Qingsheng said, he put down the gun and said:
"Who are you?"
"I am here to answer your questions. You can call me Know-it-all."
The weird puppet raised its head and replied politely.
But it gives me an indescribable weird feeling.
"The one who answered my questions?" Lin Qingsheng put the gun back into his waist and said coldly, "You yourself are a big question?"
He put away his gun because he found that it seemed useless against the monster in front of him.
Lin Qingsheng was trying to ease the atmosphere; he didn't want to cause any casualties.
"Don't you want to know why strange phenomena appear in Mount Tai, the Yellow River, Kunlun, Fengdu and other places? Don't you want to know why these things happen?"
The puppet's voice seemed to be bewitching. He had unknowingly walked in front of Lin Qingsheng, staring at the person in front of him with a pair of eyes that seemed to be artificially installed.
Lin Qingsheng responded with his eyes:
"Tell me who you are first. Why should I believe you?"
"Because I know a lot of things. You have no choice."
The puppet spread his hands, as if to say, you have no choice but me, just like a seasoned and cunning businessman.
This made Lin Qingsheng feel like he was trapped, and he tried to take back the initiative by asking questions.
"What's your connection with the ghost thing on Sanxia Square the day before yesterday?"
The puppet didn't reject the question, it just waved its hand gently.
"I have nothing to do with that thing. What you see now is just an incarnation of me. The reason why it looks like this is just to attract your attention. That thing is obviously a ghost."
Incarnation?
ghost?
Lin Qingsheng grasped these words sensitively. He had a feeling that everything seemed to be developing in a direction he did not want.
Mao Hongwei is very likely to have guessed right.
The police from the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Justice behind Lin Qingsheng also clearly felt the oppressive atmosphere, and they tightened their grip on their guns.
"Don't be so hostile. I am one of the more friendly people towards you. We can go to another place and have a good chat."
The puppet spoke again, and he seemed to have mastered the rhythm of the entire conversation and did not seem flustered at all.
Lin Qingsheng was silent as he looked at the puppet in front of him. He felt that it was a trap, but he had to jump into it.
"Xiao Zhao." Lin Qingsheng suddenly called out a name.
A young policeman stepped forward and said:
"head?"
"Give me an empty car, and the rest of you can find someone to take you back to the police station."
"yes!"
The young policeman named Xiao Zhao took a bunch of keys from his waist and reported a license plate number.
After listening to this, Lin Qingsheng nodded and pointed at the puppet.
"Don't you want to talk?"
He hooked his finger and said:
"Come with me."
The puppet smiled strangely and said:
"Don't be so defensive against me. Although I only made this incarnation casually, it's too easy to kill you."
Lin Qingsheng took a breath. It always made people feel creepy when he heard someone say in a casual tone that killing you would be too easy.
Turning around and opening the car door, Lin Qingsheng turned back and said:
"There is no good thing in the world without a reason. I don't believe your intention is simple. You should stay in the same car with me."
The puppet shrugged: "If you insist, I have no objection."
After the puppet got into the car, Lin Qingsheng turned on the police lights and sirens, turned around and drove towards the Ming Dynasty Yucheng Criminal Department Inspector.
The puppet just sat in the back seat of the police car, looking at the scenery of Yucheng indifferently.
Lin Qingsheng looked at the puppet through the rearview mirror from time to time.
"My avatar is so ugly, Captain Lin, can you please concentrate on driving and stop staring at me?"
The puppet's eyes suddenly turned to the rearview mirror, and the corners of his red mouth rose: "Or... do you have any bad habits?"
"You have bad habits."
Lin Qingsheng cursed, turned his head away and no longer looked at the puppet.
This thing is so weird, it feels even more outrageous than what appeared in the Three Gorges Square that day.
What on earth happened in the Ming Dynasty that so many monsters suddenly appeared?
The car finally quieted down. Both the puppet and Lin Qingsheng were completely quiet.
On Yucheng Avenue, a police car with sirens on accelerated towards the Inspector of the Criminal Department of Yucheng, Daming Dynasty.
