Chapter 107 This is not a psychic game, but a sacrifice.
"What!"
When Rabbit heard his companion's scream, he quickly looked down and saw the little paper figure on the ground gradually stand up and float in mid-air.
As the paper figures floated higher and higher in the air, the red rope connecting the two paper figures also trembled.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, as if a cold wind was blowing around them, and no one dared to speak.
After a while, the little paper figure stopped in mid-air, stayed there for about thirty seconds, and then quickly fell to the ground.
Rabbit gripped the phone stand tightly, his lips were pale, his whole body was stiff, and his back was soaked with cold sweat without him even realizing it.
Five minutes later, the little paper figure on the ground still didn't move and didn't float up again. The people nearby seemed to wake up from a dream.
Someone mustered up the courage to speak up, "I think I just saw the paper figures on the ground float up, and the paper figures even looked up at the tree. Am I seeing things?"
What just happened was so bizarre. Everyone was in a state of extreme tension, their minds were blank, and it felt like time had stopped.
Now that I've come to my senses, seeing the little paper figure still lying safely on the ground feels like a dream.
"I saw it too."
Another companion said, glancing around and feeling a chill, "We've finished this game, let's get out of here quickly."
"Later, there's one last step in the game."
Another person looked up at Rabbit in the tree and asked, "Rabbit, did you see that just now? It's said that if a paper doll stands up, it can have psychic abilities. Did you see one of those things?"
Hearing his companion's voice, Rabbit, who was alone in the tree, came to his senses and mustered his courage to look around.
His gaze fell on the tombstones in the distance, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable, as if someone were choking him, so he quickly looked away.
"Still haven't seen it."
Rabbit said something and then climbed up from the tree, “There was a gust of wind just now, it must have blown the paper figures on the ground up.”
This game, like the previous ones, is just a gimmick made up online. It has no real ability to communicate with spirits; the talk of ghosts and gods is nothing but feudal superstition.
After saying that, Rabbit Brother picked up the little paper figure from the ground, crumpled it up with the paper figure in his hand, and then threw it aside.
After doing all that, Rabbit Bro checked the chat comments in the live stream.
The little paper doll floating up earlier caused a stir among the viewers, making the live stream increasingly popular, with the entire screen filled with comments.
Seeing the high level of attention, Rabbit Brother smiled with satisfaction and then turned the camera to take pictures of the surroundings.
He told netizens, "Look for yourselves, there's really nothing around. If I could actually see anything, I would be scared to death by now."
But the little paper figures on the ground stood up! That means they're possessed, right? Is it possible you're just too inexperienced to see them?
[Yun Shu seems to have said that ghosts with insufficient energy cannot be seen on camera. Those that can be seen are definitely extremely malevolent spirits!]
[Your camera is panning so fast, what can you possibly see? If you're so capable, try panning it slowly.]
Seeing the comments, Rabbit Bro had no choice but to turn the camera around again. "Okay, then let you see it again. We didn't see anything at the scene anyway, but it felt a bit colder than when we first arrived. But it's already past midnight, so it's normal to feel cold at night when the temperature drops."
There really wasn't anything there; it seems the little paper figure was just floating in the wind.
[The paper figure is so obedient to the wind? It can even stay still in mid-air after floating up? There's clearly something attached to it!]
I also find it very eerie. Although I didn't see anything, it was even more terrifying.
【Oh dear, you guys are overthinking things and scaring yourselves. And some of Yun Shu's fans, please stop trying to defend her. Let her prepare to issue a public apology tomorrow! @YunShu】
I think Yunshu is just rude. She got her insults posted online, and then she made an excuse saying that Tu Ge and his gang were courting disaster, and that she was just reminding them. Now that it's proven nothing happened, she should apologize quickly, @Yunshu
Netizens are tagging Yun Shu, especially Rabbit's original fans, demanding that she apologize.
Yun Shu happened to be watching the live stream as well. Although she didn't see anything in the live stream footage, she noticed something the moment the paper figure floated up.
She wanted to explain via live chat, but Rabbit Brother sent her a voice chat request instead.
After Yun Shu agreed, Rabbit Brother appeared in the live stream and said to Yun Shu, "Yun Shu, our live stream is over. Nothing happened. Shouldn't you apologize?"
It was Rabbit Brother who brought up the matter of apologizing; Yun Shu didn't agree to it.
Yun Shu scoffed lightly, "I don't think I agreed to your request, did I? Your game is over, but don't forget, the night has just begun, and its game is about to start. If you survive tonight, then I misjudged you, and I'll apologize to you without hesitation."
"Don't scare people here. I've loved reading ghost stories since I was a child, and I'm not afraid of anything."
Rabbit Bro scoffed, "Since you're so stubborn, I'll wait until tomorrow morning for you to apologize!"
Rabbit's companions had already packed their things and were ready to drive to a nearby hotel to rest.
Yishui Cemetery is in the suburbs, far from where they live, and it would be too much trouble to go back now, so they had already booked a hotel room.
Rabbit Brother opened the car door and was about to get in when Yun Shu's voice suddenly came, "I don't know where you got this game from, but I can tell you, it's not a psychic game."
Rabbit paused for a moment, "My fans told me about this game, and there are some posts about it online, but most of them are obviously made-up supernatural stories."
Yun Shu chuckled softly, "Have you ever thought about why, since it's a spirit communication game, it's not called 'Paper Doll Spirit Communication,' but rather 'Paper Doll Soul Return'?"
Yun Shu's words immediately piqued the curiosity of the viewers in the live stream, and even Rabbit Brother's companions came over.
"Yeah, why is it called 'Paper Doll Returns to Life'?"
Rabbit frowned and said, "When that fan messaged me, he said the game was called Paper Doll Returns, and that playing it would allow you to communicate with spirits. He didn't explain why, so I guess he just made up a name."
As for the related posts I found online, each post described the game differently, and they all seemed heavily fabricated, so they're definitely not credible.
"Then I'll tell you why."
Yun Shu slowly said, "Because this is not a spirit communication game, but an ancient form of black magic used for sacrifice. Usually, the name and birth date of the sacrificer are written on a paper figure, and a red string connects two paper figures, representing the connection between the living and the evil spirit."
The sacrificer holds a paper figure at one end, the other end connected to a demon. If the paper figure floats up, it signifies a successful sacrifice, and the demon will devour the living person offered to it.
