Chapter 004 Chapter 4

The chaos caused by the white-clothed paper man has just begun.

The process of the man in red being turned into a paper machete happened in the blink of an eye. Apart from the spectators who were watching the live broadcast on the screen, no one passing by the night market noticed this scene.

Until the sky started to rain paper money.

White paper money fell like rain. Tourists strolling around the night market stopped and looked up at the sky in confusion. Some even started cursing.

"Who spread this? It's really bad luck."

"Where did all this come from?"

"The wind? There's no wind now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind blew, and both the canvas on the stall and the hanging lanterns were blown left and right, and smaller objects were blown away.

Everyone covered their faces with their arms, and then they heard a series of strange noises, like crying or laughing.

Someone looked towards the source of the sound against the strong wind and saw a red paper man walking stiffly like a human, throwing paper money high in the air as he walked. The sound that sounded like crying and laughing came from the red paper man's mouth.

After seeing this scene, the man was so frightened that he dared not move. When he wanted to run away, he found that his legs and feet could not move, and then... he turned into a paper man.

Some people saw the change and screamed and tried to escape. However, the transformation into a paper man seemed to be contagious. Everyone who screamed became a paper man. Gradually, with the white paper man as the center, one third of the tourists fell.

The paper figures wearing colorful clothes looked pale. They were controlled by the paper figures in white and mixed in the crowd, spreading terror.

The mocking smile on the paper man in white became even more intense.

"Ding! Fusion degree increased! Unlock the third ability - Funeral."

"Funeral - Paper puppets are guides who escort the deceased to the underworld, and they are also mourners. Summoning a coffin and sacrificing ten paper puppets can send a target into the coffin for refining and use."

"Unlock all the Paper Man's skills and activate the Paper Man's second state - Devilishness."

Red flames suddenly burned under the feet of the white-clothed paper man. The wind blew up the fire to form a huge fire dragon that flew into the sky, and then suddenly fell down. The fire dragon opened its huge mouth and swallowed the white-clothed paper man.

The center of the square became a small sea of ​​fire.

Now, not only did the tourists elope, but even the paper-cut figures lost control of the white-clothed paper figures and ran around screaming.

【What's wrong? What happened? 】

[Oh my god, dragon! So awesome! ]

[What the hell, this is a big deal! 】

[I said, is this a special effect? ​​Someone made a special effects video? Is it just packaged to look like a live broadcast? ]

[Ghost special effects, there really was an incident there, someone filmed the scene, go search online, it's real.]

Qin Yi, who was staring at the screen, took out his mobile phone and searched after seeing the comments. Sure enough, he found the relevant video. But after refreshing it a few times, the video disappeared, as if it was deleted by the platform because the title was not harmonious.

"Oh my god, Lao Qin, do you think this is all true?" Li Wen said, shaking his body.

Qin Yi turned his head: "Don't ask me, I don't know."

If he hadn't seen this video, he would definitely not believe it. But now, Qin Yi even began to wonder if there was something wrong with this world.

Suddenly, a tragic laugh was heard during the live broadcast. Li Wen and Qin Yi came to their senses and continued to stare at the computer screen nervously.

The burning fire dragon went out and turned into thick black smoke. After the smoke dissipated, the paper man walked out, but he was no longer dressed in white. Instead, he was wearing black clothes with a faint red glow on the hem. However, his face was still as pale as before, with a weird smile hanging at the corners of his mouth. The whites of his eyes turned black, and his originally black pupils turned scarlet.

The man's body was covered in black ashes, like the ashes of burnt paper, which spread wherever he walked, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.

"Let's start." The paper man in black raised his hand high.

The paper-bound people who wanted to escape lost their ability to move again because the mysterious paper-bound people's control power became stronger. The paper-bound people's consciousness disappeared and they became tools and puppets in the hands of the black-clad paper-bound people.

Hundreds of paper figures staggered towards the paper figure in black, stood in a row in front of him, and then turned around and lined up.

A black coffin emerged from the ground and was lifted up by the paper man. The paper man in black sat on it with a smile.

Then, this group of paper-cut artists took out paper mourning sticks, held up soul-calling banners, and held paper suonas, and walked forward playing some music.

The road was paved with paper money and led by funeral music. A passerby who wanted to go to the night market saw it from a distance and was so scared that he stopped his car and dared not move.

There were also some brave ones who got off the car with their cell phones in hand. However, once they approached the paper doll funeral procession, they suddenly felt a palpitation and finally turned into paper dolls and merged into the funeral procession.

Seeing this scene happening from a distance, no one dared to get close.

Everything was broadcast live to the computer screens of hundreds of thousands of people.

【It's numb. 】

[This can’t be fake, it absolutely can’t be fake! I know the person who wanted to take the video just now, he is my high school friend, he just sent me a message a few minutes ago to tell me that he saw something funny! ]

[You ended up playing yourself to death, didn't you? 】

【I have called the police.】

[So what, a few more mourners? ]

[I want to know if those who have been transformed into paper-mache figures can be transformed back. ]

[Who knows? Let's see what happens next. Anyway, I will never go to that square night market. ]

【I want to go!! Check in! 】

[I want to go too, come with me? ]

【There are really people who are not afraid of death. 】

[Don't say anything, I've already left. I'll be there in about fifteen minutes. I'll show you live whether it's true or not.]

[Haha, what kind of live broadcast is this? My computer can't open anything except this interface. ]

【Don’t have a cell phone? 】

【Yes.】

The funeral procession of the paper-made man left the square in a mighty manner and walked towards the suburbs. Just when the people watching the live broadcast were still wondering what would happen next, the live broadcast was suddenly cut off and the computer screen returned to its original state.

Suddenly there was a burst of cursing again.

When they were forced to watch, they were unhappy. Now that they are not allowed to watch, they are still unhappy. But soon, no one cared about this matter anymore, and they all told about this weird live broadcast incident on their social platforms and the Internet. Various live broadcast videos recorded by mobile phones were also spread everywhere on the Internet, and there were also videos shot by people at the scene, and people went to the scene to take pictures of the messy night market square afterwards.

This incident quickly became a hot topic on the Internet, but since many videos were not clear, especially the video of the funeral procession of the paper-studded people shot from a distance, the faces were blurry and there were many doubts. The hundreds of thousands of people who were pulled in to watch the live broadcast were only a drop in the bucket compared to the number of netizens in the country, and the process was too outrageous, so there were more voices of disbelief.

Perhaps the online discussion was too heated and some people released some information, indirectly acknowledging that a number of people had gone missing in a night market in Heng City and that they were currently searching for them.

About an hour and a half later, the post was updated again, saying that all the missing people had been found unconscious in the suburbs and were not in danger of life.

In short, it seems to have answered questions raised online, but it didn't explain anything.

As for the videos that were circulated on the Internet, they were all deleted. In the end, only some netizens were left chatting about this kind of news privately and sharing the small videos they saved.

The hot search was only on the Internet for half a day before it was replaced by a few celebrity news stories.

Qingtong, who was teleported home with one click, ended the role-playing and sat up from the bed.

"System, if there is anything weird, please tell me earlier." Qingtong sighed, "When the fire started, I almost screamed out of fright, but luckily I held it in."

System: “Um… I forgot.”

"How could you forget this?"

"Because in the card pool, only weird characters have weirdness. Who would normally draw a weird card with a one in ten chance in the first draw?"

Qingtong: "... generally it is not bound to the salvation system."

System: “Yes.”

"But this third skill is really powerful. As long as you sacrifice ten paper figures, you can definitely kill an enemy, even if the opponent is much stronger than you." Qingtong said with emotion.

Moreover, the "for own use" can not only devour the energy of becoming a paper man to become stronger, but also make a stronger version of a puppet paper man. The only bad thing is that refining takes time, and there is only one coffin.

Although its use is restricted now, when the weirdness really comes, the paper man will definitely be a killer.

I just have to think about what to do next time.

"Host, the next card draw will begin soon."

"Huh?" Qing Tong was stunned. "So fast?"

"In order to allow the host to gain a foothold more quickly, the initial card drawing is specially accelerated, and the host has obtained a lot of recognition points. Although it cannot be used to open the mall to redeem items, it can speed up the host's card drawing interval."

Qing Tong: "Sure enough, live streaming brings the most profit. When is the next card draw?"

"Two days later. It was supposed to be a week later."

Qingtong: "You can remind me when you draw a card."

"OK."

"I think I can get a hero next time."

The system said proudly, "Of course it can. The probability of a weird card is only 10%. How is it possible to draw a low-probability card twice? Don't worry, host. The next time it will definitely be a normal hero character card."

"That's good."

Let’s forget about the weird cards of pretending to be crazy. If possible, Qingtong would like to play the role of a hero, a very handsome one.
