Chapter 133 Let’s Go Crazy Together (VI)
"Grandma, mother, second aunt, third aunt..."
Li Niaoniao widened her eyes, surprised that they were all sitting in the hall, even the younger generation, her cousins were not left out, there were more than a dozen people, big and small.
The grandmother of the Li family had a kind smile on her face. She was wearing a flower crown skirt and jacket with wide sleeves and a round collar. The skirt draped over her legs was embroidered with various patterns and decorated with gold edges, symbolizing wealth.
The ladies of the first, second, and third wives were also wearing colorful jewelry and dressed solemnly. The children of the Li family gathered around them, and it was a "normal" scene of joy and laughter...
If their behavior was dynamic, there would be no problem, but this scene appears to be static and frozen, which is quite terrifying.
They are clearly living people, clearly speaking, and clearly using body language, but they are frozen in time like a painting.
"Madam, Mistress, Second Madam, Third Madam, what's wrong with you?" Feng Yan wanted to rush forward, but was hurriedly caught by Lao Gu and the others.
"Guardian Feng, don't be impulsive. Don't you remember what happened to us before? This is obviously problematic. Let's see what Master Xu has to say first."
They had just persuaded Feng Yan to stop, and Li Niaoniao hadn't seen her family for a long time. When she first met them, she discovered this. She couldn't control her excitement and rushed forward: "Grandma, mother, what's wrong with you? Say something?"
No matter how she called out or shouted, Li's grandmother and Madam Li were like wax figures, their expressions and words were lifelike, but they just didn't respond to the outside world at all.
Li Niaoniao rushed forward, and just as her hand was about to touch the eldest lady, the red rope holding her life on her finger suddenly tightened. Her scalp immediately felt numb, which was a warning that the danger of death was approaching.
She had experienced this twice before.
Li Niaoniao suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the eldest lady, but saw that the eldest lady was smiling like a mannequin. At this time, she turned her head with a "click". Her expression did not change, but her eyes became unusually evil and strange.
"Nianniao... come... come to mother..."
A gentle and soft calling voice came into Li Niaoniao's ears, but her hair stood on end when she heard it. Perhaps it was because of the red rope, she was extremely clear-headed at this moment.
No, this is definitely not her mother!
Li Niaoniao had never been so sure. When that voice continued to call her, "the eldest lady" was also reaching out to her. The curve of "her" mouth was strange and stiff, and the smile on her pale face seemed to be carved on.
Fear spread in my heart, as if something terrible would happen in the next second.
But at this moment, her body was unable to move.
Don't come here——
"Sister Shanshan——"
She could only scream and ask for off-field support.
While she continued to scream for help, Xu Shanshan had already reached out a dry and slightly cool hand to cover her mouth: "Shh, don't be afraid."
The empty and cold back fell on something solid; her backer had arrived.
Although Li Niaoniao's heart was still beating wildly and her body was shaking involuntarily, she no longer felt the panic she had before.
"What did you see?" Xu Shanshan asked her.
Li Niaoniao plucked up the courage to look at the "First Lady" again, only to find that she had returned to her original appearance, smiling gently, motionless, like a mannequin, without the endless secrets and evil hidden in her eyes before.
Even the calling voice disappeared.
If she hadn't felt it so clearly, she would have thought she was blind and deaf. "She, she was smiling at me just now, she was moving!" She pointed at the "first lady" and said.
Feng Yan and the others were puzzled and asked, "No, Miss, you were absent-minded just now and walked towards the Madam, and then you smiled at her and muttered something, but the Madam didn't move at all."
When Li Niaoniao heard this, she was horrified: "Impossible, I, I didn't say anything, it was she who was talking, it was this fake person who was talking, and she even reached out to me."
Feng Yan said in a deep voice: "Fake? Miss, are you saying that this eldest lady is fake?"
"Not just her, everything here is fake." Xu Shanshan said.
As soon as she finished speaking, all the "people" in the hall turned their heads. They seemed to be rehearsing before, each with their own scenes and expressions, but at this moment they suddenly turned their heads and stared at them at the door with expressionless faces.
“Their” eyes seem to be able to penetrate the soul and make people shudder.
Everyone was struck by this sudden change. Their bodies involuntarily shrank back, and their faces lost all color.
Sure enough, no matter how many times they prepared themselves mentally beforehand, when they encountered such a terrifying scene, they would still be so frightened that they couldn't recover for a long time.
"Master Xu, why have their eyes turned red?" Feng Yan's voice rose and fell, and could no longer remain on a straight line.
Huai Gu said coldly, "They looked like the living dead just now, but now they are alive. However... they don't seem to be very friendly to your own people."
Nangong Yu and Chunsheng have been following behind the team. The affairs of the Li Mansion had nothing to do with them. It was only because Nangong Yu wanted to follow Xu Shanshan and wait for an opportunity to take revenge, and Chunsheng wanted to follow Nangong Yu, that they got into the mess at the Li Mansion.
Nangong Yu observed carefully and noticed a detail, and quickly pointed it out: "Look at their feet..."
When everyone looked over, they saw that their feet were not on the ground, but on tiptoe, whether they were standing or sitting.
"What on earth is this?! Is it a humanoid puppet?"
"They made my grandmother into a puppet?"
Xu Shanshan pondered for a moment and said, "This should be a failed soul-pulling technique."
"What do you mean by a failed soul-pulling technique?" Everyone was puzzled.
Huai Gu's eyes flickered, and then he couldn't help laughing: "It's not such a profound magic. I heard that people would use paper dolls as burial objects and sacrifices at folk funerals. It's both a way of burying the dead alive and a way of seeing them off. I think these people look like paper dolls prepared for us."
"It turns out to be a paper-made man." Xu Shanshan suddenly realized. No wonder she had never seen such a low-level magic. Its existence could be said to be extremely harmful. Apart from being able to scare people and make them feel unlucky, it had no value in her eyes.
"Paper figurines?" They were confused by what the two said: "But from what I see, they are real people?"
No matter how skilled a paper craftsman is in this world, he can't turn a fake person into a real person with flesh and blood, right?
"If you suck enough blood and flesh from living people, you may even become like a real person."
While they were talking, a paper man suddenly flattened like a deflated balloon and became as thin as a piece of paper. The wind blew it silently behind Nangong Yu.
It stretched out its long red tongue, slid from Nangong Yu's neck to his chest, and licked his bleeding wound: "It smells so good~"
