Chapter 081 Trigger
There are no paper wizards in the underworld.
The first paper magician appeared more than a hundred years ago during the Republic of China.
It was a time when the world was in chaos, people were in dire straits, and they specialized in dealing with the dead. Strange underworld people were running around, hoping to do their bit in the troubled times.
But in that era when corpses were everywhere and there was no rooster crowing for hundreds of miles, people in the underworld were simply unable to deal with so many strange events, and they could not even guarantee their own lives and safety.
Gradually, a group of people forgot their original intention.
They feel that they have power beyond ordinary people, so why do they still live in such misery and become unknown heroes?
As a result, paper magicians, mainly in the lineage of papermakers, emerged.
They no longer deal with matters related to the dead, but use their strength to fight and deal with the living, dominating and dominating in that troubled world.
The collision of ideas caused Yinxing to have an internal conflict in that era.
Countless people did not die in the hands of evil spirits, but died in the hands of their peers.
It also led to the overall decline of Yin Xing.
Even though a hundred years have passed, many old people still have not forgotten the sacrifices and lessons of their fathers, and regard the paper magicians as a thorn in their side.
If you see a Paper Warlock, you must kill him.
This priority level is even higher than that of Li Gui.
This is the first time I have met a paper warlock. His abilities are the same as what my grandfather said. However, I don’t have the same hatred in my heart as my grandfather did.
It's just a different choice. If you don't betray your country, don't kill indiscriminately, and don't mess with me, what does it have to do with me?
The only thing that makes me feel a little wrong with Ma Feifei is that she probably did not enter the game accidentally.
Paper Warlocks come from the lineage of Paper Boxers, and the hatred between them is far greater than that of other people in the underworld. I heard my grandfather say that more than ten years ago, there was a duel between Paper Boxers and Paper Warlocks, and they died.
many people.
Ma Feifei is most likely here to look for Yang Meng, but Yang Meng has already died in the game.
During the day, no one else went out except Ma Feifei and me.
By the time it was dinner time, Xie Juan and I returned to Wu House early.
As soon as she returned, Xie Juan pretended to be tired from walking and hid in her room.
I wanted to follow him, but I was called to the main room to discuss my return.
I'm not quite sure about this rule, so I can only nod in agreement.
The time to return home is set for tomorrow evening, and the place to return home is the Liuxi River outside the town. It is a very auspicious time and place.
But when I returned to the room, the smile on my face suddenly dropped.
We haven't done anything during the past few days. We also learned a lot of information through casual exchanges with people.
Among them is the Liuxi River.
There are endless piles of graves and hundreds of urn coffins on the hillside, but among the people of the town, Liuxi River is the mass grave of the town.
Liuxihe is not a river, but a mountain col.
The corpses that were not buried in the town would be thrown into the mountain col. People hoped that the souls of the dead would not stay in the town, so they named the mountain col Liuxi River, hoping that it would be like a river and carry all the corpses and souls with them.
Walk.
Seeing that my expression was wrong, Xie Juan, who was already lying on the bed, whispered: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Come back tomorrow night and go to your house."
"My home?" Xie Juan naturally didn't know where her natal family was.
When he heard me talking about Liuxihe, he didn't react for a while. He was stunned for a few seconds before exclaiming: "Mass grave?"
"Shh, keep your voice down." I reminded her and said, "I'm thinking about a question now. Should I trigger this weirdness? Liuxi River is probably more dangerous. The key is that you don't know anyone. It's very possible that you don't know anyone.
I accidentally triggered the weirdness there."
Xie Juan's face became even uglier than mine, and she hesitated: "You, you decide."
I nodded: "If you want to trigger it, you have to trigger it during the day tomorrow. Have a good rest tonight."
I said I wanted to have a good rest, but I couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed.
The thing about Liuxihe was only mentioned by people in the town. I didn’t know how dangerous it was. But the weirdness of Wu House was something I experienced personally.
If I had other choices, I would never trigger Wu Zhai's weirdness.
A confusing choice.
It was a silent night, but neither Xie Juan nor I slept well.
As soon as she got up, Xie Juan stared with bloodshot eyes: "Have you decided?"
"Let's meet up with Ma Feifei first and see their situation last night before making a decision. However, be mentally prepared, I may trigger something here."
Xie Juan nodded and stopped talking.
After walking out of the room, we found an excuse to go to the inn again.
However, this time there was no one in the inn, not even Sun Mingyi who was supposed to be hiding in the inn.
I asked the waiter, but the waiter said he didn't know, but he just didn't see many people when he came here today.
This made my heart suddenly sink.
The waiter got up when he was opening the shop. He didn't notice many people, which only meant that Ma Feifei and the others had left last night. After all, there would be no one in the whole town at night.
I could vaguely guess the reason why Ma Feifei and Zhao Qing left, but Sun Mingyi's departure made me a little worried.
Is my guess wrong?
Waiting until noon, several people were nowhere to be seen.
I said to Xie Juan, who bit her lip almost to the point of bleeding, "Now we can only think about the worst. Let's go back."
"Are you going to trigger?"
"Well, there's nothing we can do."
We walked for a long time on the way back to Wu's house. As soon as we entered the door, I directly asked the servant: "Where are the master and his wife?"
The servant bent down and replied: "Are they all in the study?"
After staying here for two days, we naturally know where the study is.
On the way to the study, Xie Juan kept holding my hand. Her hand was very cold, but she was sweating constantly, and her whole body was shivering.
In the study, Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu, whom they had met before, were chatting quietly about something.
Seeing us passing by, Mrs. Wu swayed her fat body and hurriedly walked over: "Oh, what's wrong with you?"
With a concerned look on her face, she stepped forward to hold Xie Juan's hand.
Xie Juan dodged and hid behind me.
Mrs. Wu was stunned, looked at me and said, "What's wrong? Are you sick?"
"Stop pretending and let's show it off. Where is your son?"
Mrs. Wu looked at me blankly: "My child, what's wrong with you?"
"My name is Huang Xiaolong and her name is Xie Juan. Do I need to say more?"
Mrs. Wu said nothing, and the concerned expression on her face gradually solidified.
It seems that there really is no need to say anything more.
After waiting for a few seconds, Mrs. Wu turned around stiffly and looked at Master Wu who was also frozen: "Master."
Mr. Wu didn't speak. He tilted his head to one side and chuckled. The air around him seemed to freeze, and an inexplicable sense of depression came over him.
There were footsteps all around, and several servants who were busy outside the study still maintained their working posture, dragging their feet stiffly on the ground, and walked towards us.
