Chapter 76: The Third Item: Copper Coin Dream Catcher
Cat Man A looked at the fisherman who was collecting his fishing rod and couldn't help but stop.
Are there really fish?
The river water in the dream was literally dyed with blood.
There was bright red everywhere and the river bank smelled strongly of blood. What fish could he catch in such an environment?
Out of curiosity, Catman A, who had just run away in panic, moved closer.
The thing at the bottom of the water was very powerful, and the fisherman was no longer as leisurely as before.
He even stood up to struggle with the big fish in the river.
The thin fishing rod was stretched into an arc, as if it would break at any time.
The fisherman pulled in the fishing line violently, and the thing at the bottom of the water seemed to have changed its temperament and suddenly stopped struggling.
As the fisherman reeled in his line, something in the water slowly moved closer to the river bank.
The process of reeling in the line was very smooth, and it was pulled all the way to my eyes.
But the water surface was so red that it was impossible to see clearly what was caught.
The fisherman yanked the line again, and a bony hand under the water suddenly grabbed his fishing rod.
The skin of the hand was a strange green color and was covered with something like moss.
The green mud and moss mixed with blood looked creepy, like a demon crawling out of hell.
Most people who encounter such a scene are bound to drop their fishing rods and run away.
But the fisherman has a strong psychological quality, so it doesn't seem surprising.
He sat down calmly, and when the "big fish" in the water was about to come ashore, he picked up the wooden stick that had been prepared under the banana tree and hit the zombie that had not yet had time to get out of the water.
The zombie was suppressed by the fisherman's powerful attack and could only let go, shrinking back into the water in shame, never to be seen again.
Catman A and Bian Ling were so shocked that they just stood there with their mouths slightly open.
It turns out that this guy is the hidden boss.
"So…what exactly did he just catch?"
Catman A asked.
"Anyway...it's not a fish."
Bian Ling said with great confidence.
There was no way to escape now, and Cat Man A no longer wanted to struggle in vain.
A few people huddled under a banana tree and watched the fisherman fishing.
Since the first "fish" was hooked, no other fish has taken the bait.
Bian Ling was getting bored waiting. "Isn't the man with glasses awake? So what is he doing now? Why didn't he wake us up?"
The fisherman's hook got caught on a piece of driftwood.
He calmly reeled in his fishing line, untied the driftwood and threw it aside.
Chen Li picked up the piece of driftwood and took a look at it.
It was a piece of pure black driftwood, or more accurately, a part of a coffin board.
Chen Li suddenly stood up and looked upstream of the river.
"We should leave now."
He could feel a very strong sense of resentment coming from the source of the river.
The fisherman's hook got caught on a piece of driftwood again. The fisherman, who had always been obsessed with fishing, was unexpectedly cooperative and quickly put away his fishing gear.
"What's wrong?"
Bian Ling followed Chen Li's line of sight and looked in that direction.
They saw a pitch-black coffin floating towards them along the bright red river water.
Next came the second coffin and the third coffin.
More and more coffins floated downstream.
The coffins collided with each other along the water flow. Some of the coffins were knocked open on the spot, and the zombies inside fell into the water.
With the sound of coffins colliding, more and more corpses piled up together.
It's just a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Go, go, go! Go now!"
Catman A is already panicking.
It seems that there is no safe place in this broken dream!
The fisherman hadn't even had time to put down his rolled-up trouser legs before he was grabbed by Cat Man A and ran away.
"Is there no way to control dreams?"
He couldn't understand why all the things that appeared in his dreams were horrible.
"Is it true that one person's will is not enough to change this dream? How about starting from now, let's all try to change the dream together?"
Bian Ling: "How to try?"
Cat Man A did not slow down at all as he ran away.
They were walking down the river.
"Let's just think that these coffins in the river don't contain zombies, but... teddy bears and dolls!"
"Golden curly hair, wearing shiny clothes, a beautiful bow tied on her head, and beautiful nail polish on every finger and hand. What was placed in the coffin was not tribute, but beautiful tea sets for tea parties! Made of ceramic with small rose patterns..."
The more Cat Man A spoke, the more he let himself go, and each word he said was more outrageous than the last.
Everyone: “?”
Did this guy reveal a strange habit?
Bian Ling: "Did you reveal something, buddy?"
Fisherman: "I understand. I think everyone should have a hobby. Just like I like fishing, having a... tea party with a doll teddy bear... is also a good choice."
It turns out that even if everyone works together and thinks about normal things, they can't change the dream, which is bad news.
And the other bad news is: they returned to the old house of the ghost marriage.
This time the old house has changed a little compared to before.
There were many paper figures crowded in front of the house.
These paper figures are light and airy, and can move around like humans, talk, and have thoughts.
It's just that the blush on their cheeks is so weird...
One of the paper figures set off firecrackers at the front door.
The crackling sound was deafening.
"What should we do? Retreat?"
The paper people warmly welcomed them as guests.
Cat Man A felt that if he didn't go in according to the paper man's ideas, they might turn against him.
Shen Li walked ahead of everyone without realizing it.
"Now that you're here, let's go in and take a look."
Two blushing paper dolls had already welcomed Chen Li into the house.
The fisherman looked indifferent and dived into the pile of paper figures.
Catman A and Bian Ling could only follow reluctantly.
There were many paper figures in front of the door. Cat Man A squeezed in with great difficulty, and complained to Bian Ling in a low voice from time to time:
"I think I just accidentally stepped on a paper man's foot. Luckily they are not angry."
As soon as Cat Man A finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the surroundings were very quiet.
He felt a chill on his back and when he looked up he found that all the paper people were looking at him.
The paper man that he had crushed was now in front of him, staring at him very abruptly.
Yes, staring.
The feeling of being stared at by a paper man was strange, even a little funny.
Because his face was completely made of paper and there was no muscle movement.
The only thing he could use to convey his anger was the paper man's two eyebrows and huge eyes that were thickened with black ink.
He even drew the character “儿” between his eyebrows to indicate a frown.
Catman A was also stunned.
This is too weird.
The situation remained deadlocked for a while.
Suddenly, Shen Li's reliable voice came from behind Catman A, "Apologize quickly."
“S-Sorry!”
Catman A quickly apologized.
Not only did he apologize, he even bent down and bowed in a very exaggerated manner.
However, when he bent down, he failed to control the distance between himself and the paper man, and his head suddenly hit the paper man's stomach.
Cat Man A was terrified. He waved his hands to pull out the head, and accidentally tore off the paper man's arm.
The paper figure in front of him collapsed little by little and stopped moving completely.
"I didn't mean it!"
Cat Man A hurriedly explained to the other paper figures, and was filled with a desire to survive.
This time, everyone's paper figures finally stopped staring at him.
The oppressive feeling of being stared at by countless eyes finally disappeared. Cat Man A breathed a sigh of relief and watched the other paper figures continue to be busy.
They even stepped on the shell of the paper man.
Do you forgive him now?
"You...your hand!"
Bian Ling, who was standing by, suddenly reminded Catman A, "Why are your hands so white? Why is your face so white?"
"Why are your blush so...red?"
Bian Ling took two steps back in surprise.
At this moment, in her eyes, Cat Man A had become a paper man.
His body unknowingly turned into a paper shell, and it felt light and fluttery, but his consciousness was still there.
Cat Man A looked down at his hands. When he looked down, he even heard the rough friction sound of the thin layer of paper on his body.
"How could this happen... How did I become a paper man?"
"Hold it! Don't cry!"
Bian Ling stood in front of Catman A, trying to steady him.
"Don't cry, if you cry, your eyes and cheeks will be stained!"
Cat Man A's two eyes, which were dotted with thick ink, looked around in confusion and despair.
Now he is also a paper man, completely integrated into the scene, without any sense of incongruity.
"Is it because I accidentally killed a paper man?"
Catman A regretted it deeply, "I was careless! And he was really fragile! I didn't even use much strength!"
At least we can communicate smoothly.
It’s just that Catman A looks a little funny now.
"Don't be afraid, you are still a little different from them!"
Bian Ling pointed at the top of Cat Person A's head and said, "Look, the cat ears are still there! You are definitely the most special and the cutest among the pile of paper figures!"
Catman A gnashed his teeth and said, "Your way of comforting people is quite unique! Are you comforted?"
After Cat Man A turned into a paper man, Bian Ling was not so afraid of other paper men anymore.
"It looks like the wedding is about to start. Shall we go inside first?"
Bian Ling gently pulled the cat-man armor, and with a "swish" sound, a bit of the cardboard was torn.
From the pile of paper figures came the voice of Cat Person A, like a pig being slaughtered: "Bian Ling! Give me back my thumb!"
Catman A was extremely pessimistic. "Please, can you be gentle with me? I am very vulnerable now! If you had used a little more strength just now, I would have died in your hands. Do you believe it?"
Diaoyu Lao and Shen Li are indeed big bosses.
The two men completely ignored the farce between Cat Man A and Bian Ling and sat on the main seats calmly.
"The bride and groom are here!"
The paper man standing at the gate shouted.
The crackling sound of firecrackers mixed with the noisy sound of suona, and the deafening sound tortured their ears.
Bian Ling did not forget to remind Catman A in the chaos:
"Don't block your ears. Your ears are drawn. If you block your ears, you might poke your brain."
Catman A: "Thank you for your reminder? Can you give me my thumb back now?"
