puppet
Li Pingan didn't want to look at his face, fearing that he would pounce on him and bite him. He turned his head and looked out the window. An ambulance was overturned on the ground. A pregnant woman with a big belly was covered in blood and looked lifeless.
Suddenly, the pregnant woman lying flat on her back began to shake, and then a small black hand stretched out, and then tore through the pregnant woman's belly and crawled out.
At this time, the car had already passed by. Li Ping'an tried his best to look back. A little devil with a black body, blood stains and sharp teeth was squatting on the body of the pregnant woman, tearing the meat with his claws and eating it.
"Is there any living person here?" After walking for so long, Li Pingan didn't see a single living person.
Li Pingan was just mumbling to himself, but he didn't expect Bai Mu to respond, "Yes."
Then, looking into Li Ping'an's eyes, he said word by word, "And you three."
"Oh, by the way, maybe some people hid it quite deeply and are still half-breathed."
"What exactly do you want to do?" Li Ping'an was a little overwhelmed. She really couldn't understand what the meaning of Bai Mu's behavior was?
Bai Mu looked at Li Ping'an, his eyes curved up under the mask, but there was no trace of a smile, "Meaning?"
"Don't you think this is fun?" The tone was like a child sharing a favorite toy with others.
"Fun?" Li Pingan thought about many things, but he didn't expect that it was all for fun. "You killed so many people just for fun?"
Bai Mu nodded, "Isn't it possible?"
Du Xin suddenly rushed towards Bai Mu and tried to stab him in the chest with the scissors while Bai Mu was not paying attention, but was easily caught by the wrist.
Du Xin thought of the scene that just flashed by. That was her sister who took care of her the most, but now there was only a head left on the ground. She gritted her teeth and said, "Why don't you just die?"
Bai Mu only used a little force, and Du Xin's wrist was crushed. She gritted her teeth and refused to make any sound of weakness.
Bai Mu became interested and crushed her arm inch by inch. Seeing Du Xin sweating profusely but still not begging for mercy, he nodded and said, "You are a good seedling."
"I will train you into a puppet and keep you by my side,"
"And you, and you," Bai Mu pointed at Li Pingan and Yiyi.
"As a reward for surviving to the end."
…
I don't know how long I drove before I finally stopped. In front of me was a villa that looked like a castle, but no matter whether it was the butler who opened the car door for Baimu or the servants standing on both sides in work clothes, they were all puppets without exception.
Being pushed into it, I saw a three-meter-long diamond chandelier and exquisite murals, which were not much different from those on a cruise ship.
The three of them were pushed onto the carpet in the middle of the living room. Bai Mu had disappeared somewhere. Li Pingan approached Du Xin, looking at the cold sweat on her face and her pale lips, his eyes full of worry. "Can you still hold on?"
Du Xin hugged Yiyi with his intact left hand, endured the pain, and nodded.
Suddenly, a puppet rushed up and pulled Yiyi out of Du's arms. Yiyi screamed and attacked him with her hands and feet, but it was useless. In the end, she was tied up and thrown aside.
At the same time, Li Pingan was also pushed aside. Just when she was about to be tied to the pillar, the rope that had been worn for a long time finally broke. Li Pingan quickly took out the dagger from his waist and broke the neck of the puppet in front of him. After the neck fell off, the puppet was still able to move.
Li Ping'an had no choice but to cut off his limbs while being on guard against others.
After doing all this, Li Ping'an quickly untied the rope on Yiyi, picked up Yiyi, and pulled Du Xin to leave. But before he took two steps, a group of puppets rushed in at the door, and a low sound of footsteps came from behind.
Li Pingan handed Yiyi in his arms to Du Xin, and then rushed out, gritting his teeth to fight his way out, but there were too many puppets. In the end, Li Pingan was covered in blood and thrown on the carpet in the living room.
Before she could react, Bai Mu came over and stepped on her abdomen with such force that Li Pingan spit out a mouthful of blood. "Actually, it's no problem for you to kill a few puppets."
"But why are you leaving?"
"You broke your promise first."
After that, two puppets came forward and tied Li Pingan, who had no ability to resist, to a pillar. Yiyi and Du Xin were thrown in the middle of the carpet.
Seeing Bai Mu getting closer and closer to them, Li Pingan suddenly thought of something, "No, no, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't touch them."
"don't want,"
"I was wrong. I won't run away with them again."
"don't want,"
Li Ping'an twisted his body frantically and spoke, trying to interrupt Bai Mu's actions.
Amidst Li Pingan's hoarse roar, Bai Mu's hands did not stop moving. He used two knives to cut open Du Xin's skin, took out the bones, and stuffed them into the black wood. Everything happened before Li Pingan's eyes.
Starting from the limbs, all the way to the heart, until the moment the heart was taken out, Du Xin's pupils completely dilated, his breathing stopped, and the slight struggle disappeared.
Not long after, a puppet wearing Du Xin's skin stood up. If you ignore the puppet lines on its face and its lifeless eyes, it looks exactly like Du Xin.
"Her soul?" Li Ping'an's eyes widened. Why didn't Du Xin's soul float out? Where was her soul?
Bai Mu admired his masterpiece and seemed to be in a good mood. He was willing to answer some small questions for Li Pingan. "A puppet is incomplete without a soul, so I sealed her soul inside."
"How perfect! There's no birth, old age, sickness, and death, and there's still a soul."
"Go." Bai Mu gave an order, and the puppet came to Li Ping'an's side, stopping every step like a child who had just learned to walk. Li Ping'an looked straight at Du Xin, trying to find any sign of humanity, but unfortunately there was none.
Li Pingan glimpsed Yiyi covering her mouth in the center of the blanket, not daring to cry out loud. Tears streamed down his face. "Please let her go. She's still so young. Please."
"It's too late." Bai Mu signaled the puppet to hand Yi Yi to him.
As soon as Bai Mu's hand touched Yi Yi's face, he felt a chill coming from his body. He stopped moving and looked worried. "Anything else?"
It’s the ghost among the last few beads.
Seeing Bai Mu crushing them all to death with one hand, Li Ping'an's heart completely turned cold. Just as she thought, it was useless and they were sacrificed in vain.
Seeing Li Ping'an's hopeless look, Bai Mu felt that it was boring. However, no matter how boring it was, he still had to finish what he had to do.
Li Ping'an's eyes turned red as he watched Yi Yi being turned into a puppet while crying. He came to her side like Du Xin just now, one on her left and one on her right.
"Is it my turn next?" Li Pingan felt extremely frustrated.
Unexpectedly, Bai Mu put away the knife and shook his head, "It's not your turn yet."
"After all, Jiuqi hasn't come yet."
Bai Mu walked up to Li Ping'an and pulled her head up. "He still hasn't given me what he owes me."
"I have a feeling he's coming soon."
After hearing Bai Mu's words, Li Ping'an no longer felt excited. If all the people were dead, what was the point?
"Why are you so dejected?" Bai Mu seemed to be a little fed up with Li Ping'an's decadent look. He used his hands to pull up the corners of her mouth, one on the left and one on the right, forcing her to smile.
"When you stole my meat and drank my wine on the steamer, you were more energetic than you are now."
When Li Pingan heard Bai Mu mention this, he felt extremely regretful and asked, "Why didn't they poison you to death?"
Bai Mu's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and clapped his hands, "I should let you meet an old acquaintance."
Two puppets walked in from outside, their backs to the light. Li Pingan couldn't see what they looked like, but their figures looked very familiar.
Li Ping'an knew that Bai Mu was deliberately trying to provoke her, but after hearing what he said, she still stared with wide eyes.
"Dad, Mom,"
When he saw the faces of the two puppets clearly, Li Pingan couldn't help but murmur.
The past that was forced to be forgotten came flooding back, and Li Pingan couldn't escape it.
The feeling of suffocation, the whispers of my parents in my ears, the brief breath of oxygen, the last glance before I passed out, and finally the black and white photo frozen in time in the mourning hall.
"They, shouldn't they be buried in peace?"
"Why, why are you here?"
If possible, Li Ping'an wanted to bite Bai Mu to death, what a beast.
Bai Mu felt the fun and clapped his hands. Two puppets came forward and one of them touched Li Ping'an's face.
"What did they call you then?"
Bai Mu frowned, seeming a little troubled, "Oh, An An, right?"
As soon as Bai Mu finished speaking, the two puppets spoke at the same time, "An An."
Li Pingan closed his eyes and refused to look. They were not his father and mother, no!
Bai Mu whispered in her ear, "Their souls are in there. I wonder how sad they must be seeing you resisting so much." His tone was low and full of loss.
When Li Pingan heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes, full of nostalgia, "Mom and Dad,"
But the puppet had no heart and could only mechanically say, "An An."
"I am such a good person." Looking at the "heartwarming" scene in front of him, Bai Mu suddenly sighed.
Li Pingan's cheeks were rubbed repeatedly and turned red. "You are a beast,"
"No, you are worse than an animal."
Bai Mu didn't get angry after hearing this. Instead, he smiled and said, "You're right."
Li Ping'an didn't want to talk to him or look at him, so he stared at his father and mother in front of him. Time had left no trace on their faces, and they looked just as he remembered.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound outside the door. Li Pingan turned his gaze outside. Bai Mu beside him suddenly became excited.
"He's here, he's finally here."
Seeing Bai Mu so excited, Li Pingan thought, is it Jiuqi?
