Chapter 16 (1/2)

Right in front of Su Bai and Childe Hai, the one cooking the body was not a person, but a…

…Paper man!

A paper man that was as tall as a real person!

The papera hat of a servant on its head, with slanted eyes and thick red color on its cheeks, and it was about 160 c a pair of scissors in one hand and carefullythe flesh pieces in the boiler, to and fro, with a pair of chopsticks in its other hand

It seemed to have noticed the visitors so it turned around its head gently, slanted a little and looked at Su Bai and Childe Hai as if it failed to force a smile

Paper men were quite familiar to most Chinese people Nowadays, traditional funerals were reducing but it hadn't been long, sopaper men on funerals in the countryside Even now, such a custo on in most rural areas in China

Paper irls,people burned theood wish that these paper o serve their kinsfolks

Therefore, paper e of taboo Most people would feel uncomfortable if they saw a paper man by the side of the road

And at thisthe body

Is it the murderer?

Su Bai was thought so in his mind, but soon, he realized that this paperto Childe Hai, Task 2 was to find the murderer, so if the paper man was the murderer, this task should already be accomplished

But now, it didn't look like the task had been accomplished

Childe Hai ground his teeth, ”Such bad luck”

At the next moment, the paper man threw itself towards them peculiarly with the scissors There was still a shtful, especially considering that there was still a piece of flesh on its scissors

Childe Hai held Su Bai's shoulder with one hand and took out a string of small Buddha beads with the other hand Su Bai had seen this kind of Buddha beads before; he used to see so scriptures when he was traveling in Tibet

The Buddha beads were thrown out and buainst the paper man At this ainst evil; the paper man used to be solid with paper as its surface and bamboo canes or thin wood strips as support, but when the Buddha beads bumped into it, it immediately became flat

The Buddha beads then returned into Childe Hai's hand

There was a s ”just so-so” on Childe Hai's face, but Su Bai, as held in front of Childe Hai as a hu him in his mind, because he saw clearly that the paper h it had turned into a piece of paper right now

Even his hand and the scissors in it were flat now- they were all paper! All paper!

Su Bai finally realized why the hand he saw last night was so pale and why it couldn't get rid of blood once it got stained- because that hand was made of paper!

Last night, only one hand of it caht time yet or the paper man was not done yet; was that so?

That pair of scissors went directly airee of sharpness that they were just as good as a bullet or even better, just like Su Bai had witnessed with his own eyes last night!

Irowled and pushed Su Bai forward at his convenience Su Bai had no control of his own body right now; after Childe Hai pushed hiood as voluntarily asking for death!

At this moment, there wasn't h time for such emotion When death came, his mind went absolutely blank

Even, the last idea that came to Su Bai was:

'Did this happen to those people I killed before?'

”Clack…”

Su Bai felt a severe pain on his face But luckily, the paper man's scissors had coincidentally missed any vital areas and had, instead, stabbed his cheek, taking away the flesh of half his face; it was not fatal

The body of the paperimpact before he was knocked off, hit the wall and fell down onto the ground

Below hi's corpse and Chen Chu's flesh blood Immediately, Su Bai became messy all over

Childe Hai was planning to use Su Bai as a scapegoat; as long as the paper man killed Su Bai, the story would becoer Degree would go down This was a kind of pattern, and also the understanding and practice of rules applied by audiences who had participated in more tasks However…

Su Bai…

…was not dead!

So…

…it er was not over yet!

The paper man didn't turn around to kill Su Bai who had been blasted away after it shaved away flesh from his face; it moved on and approached Childe Hai!

Even Childe Hai had sweat on his face But he didn't run aith his back exposed to the paperhad done; instead, he stranded the Buddha beads in his hand, pulled them into a semicircle and tried to cap the scissors of the paper man

But the nexthappened that made Childe Hai almost collapse: as soon as the scissors met the Buddha beads, the Buddha beads broke down as their string cracked and beads scattered All at once, it became chaotic

However, he had offset most of the scissors'onto Childe Hai's chest, instead of entirely sticking into his body
