infinite danger

Chapter 161 Embroidered Shoes

Zhizhayan glanced at the novice girl indifferently, and answered after a long time: "You are not used to the kitchen here, my children will help me."

The two children next to Zhizhayan stared at the novice girl, and slowly raised the corners of their lips.

The novice girl's back felt chills from these three eyes, no matter how dull she was, she dared not ask for help: "Okay, I'll trouble you then!"

"Do as you please, but don't touch the finished paper figurines in the living room." Zhi Zhayan left such a sentence, and walked to the yard with the two children.

The mission workers around the door tactfully made way for him.

When Zhizhayan passed by, Ji Siwei asked, "Uncle Yan, what date is today in the old calendar?"

Zhi Zhayan stopped in his tracks, his pale yellow eyes turned to him: "Today is the ninth day of the lunar new year."

Ji Siwei said, "Thank you."

Zhi Zhayan didn't speak, and continued to walk outside.

Ji Siwei's eyes followed Zhi Zhayan, watching him lead the child towards the small house on the east side.

There should be a kitchen.

Just when he looked back, he found that the two paper women who had just been guarding the door had disappeared.

There is indeed a problem with the paper figurines here.

Maybe the novice girl read it right, the paper figurine's eyes really move.

"Boy, you are quite clever." Sheng Shu said in a low voice, "I asked an important question."

Ji Simwei pretended to be stupid: "Why is this important?"

Sheng Shu said: "The village chief said that all the paper figurines should be finished before the [-]th day. Once you ask, we will know how many days the deadline for the task is."

Ji Siwei showed a suddenly realized expression: "I just want to know that the time here is different from the place I used to stay."

Sheng Shu narrowed his eyes and took a deep look at him: "Of course it's different, you'll understand later."

As soon as I stepped into the living room, I felt that more than a dozen pairs of eyes were looking at me.

There are more than a dozen paper figurines in the open space of the living room. They are standing or sitting, smiling or angry, like a group of living people.

Because all the faces of the paper figurines were facing the door of the living room, there was an illusion of being stared at by a dozen people.

The baby-faced boy said softly: "It's so real, it makes me flustered."

"This skill is really amazing." The dimpled boy walked up to those paper figurines carelessly, looked at them one by one, and said excitedly, "It's still very detailed when viewed from such a close distance. It's like staring at me."

Yanyue was amazed at the dimpled boy's behavior: "Where did this guy come from? It's just a fool. He's not afraid of death. Don't get us involved."

Sheng Shu also felt a little headache, and shouted in a deep voice: "Hey, just look at it, don't touch these paper figurines."

Zhi Zhayan's words are so obvious, veterans know that if they take the initiative to touch these paper figurines, something will happen.

"I know, don't move your hands just now." The dimpled boy watched it to his heart's content, and indeed he didn't make a move. Instead, he found a chair and sat down at random, and yawned: "This dream has been going on for too long, I Why haven't you woken up yet?"

Yanyue laughed as soon as she heard it, and sat on a high stool, crossing her legs: "It turns out that this fool thought he was dreaming, no wonder he was so bold."

"Don't be a fool, you can call me Zhou Qi." The dimpled boy propped his chin and looked around at the people in the living room: "If it's not a dream, then what kind of place is this, a parallel world?"

"It's hard to use science to explain to you what this place is, because we don't know too well." Yanyue still looked too lazy to explain: "Just remember one thing - if you die here, you are really will die."

Hearing this, Zhou Qi completely fell silent.

Sheng Shu walked to the center of the crowd, and his position happened to be facing the three novices: "Our task is to help Zhi Zhayan finish the paper figurines for sacrifices before the fifteenth day, and as long as the task is completed, we can return to the original place alive. Three novices, I don't expect you to be of any help, just don't make trouble."

Zhou Qi nodded with a half understanding.

The novice girl replied softly: "Understood."

Ji Siwei responded, and then looked around the living room.

Most of the furniture here is handcrafted from bamboo and wood, polished to a smooth finish.

The living room is decorated simply, without a hint of luxury, but neat.

It is very rare for a man to live with two children and keep his house so clean.

The baby-faced boy was probably tired from standing, so he sat next to Yanyue and sighed, "I thought the mission site was a place with difficult conditions, but I didn't expect it to look okay, at least the electricity is on."

Yanyue answered: "It's okay."

"Allocate the room first." Sheng Shu naturally put himself in the position of the leader: "Eight people in four rooms, two in one room, is there anyone willing to live together?"

"I can live with anyone, as long as I don't live with her." Yanyue pointed at the novice girl, her nails painted crimson looked aggressive under the light: "I can't stand crying, crying makes me have a headache."

Hearing Yanyue's words, the novice girl lowered her head aggrievedly, concealed her red eyes, and said with a choked voice, "I will try my best to adapt."

Yanyue's expression didn't change at all, and her voice was indifferent: "If you can adapt so quickly, everyone can make a copy alive."

In the dungeon, no one will make trouble for themselves because of pity and pity.

No one is interested in bringing in newbies.

Not to mention a timid, crying novice.

The novice girl bit her lip and stopped talking, she knew that she had no right to speak at this time.

The more mature woman among the taskers sighed and said, "You can live with me."

The novice girl wiped away the tears from her face and nodded happily.

"Sister, my name is Bai Yi, do you want to live with me?" the baby-faced boy asked Yanyue with a smile.

He is the youngest among the taskers, but he looks very experienced.

"I never share a room with a man in the copy, and minors are no exception." Yanyue shook out a cigarette from the cigarette case, put it in her mouth, and asked the last girl who didn't choose a room: " Do you mind if I smoke in the room?"

This girl wears a pair of round-rimmed glasses and has small freckles on her cheeks. She adjusted her glasses and said frankly, "Never mind."

"Trouble." Yanyue exhaled a puff of smoke, as if thinking about it: "Then I'll go out and smoke outside in the future, this pack of cigarettes won't last for two days."

On the matter of room allocation, Ji Siwei has never made a statement.

After everyone has chosen, he and the remaining Zhou Qi will automatically become roommates.

After the room was allocated, Zhi Zhayan hadn't finished dinner yet, but there was some noisy movement from the kitchen from time to time.

The novice girl asked cautiously: "Do you really not need to help make dinner?"

The cigarette in Yanyue's hand was almost burnt out, she found the trash can and threw the tail of the cigarette into it: "I advise you not to go there."

Bai Yi bent his eyes: "You may see some incredible pictures."

The novice girl was startled by Bai Yi's words and closed her mouth.

Sheng Shu suggested: "There is still time, how about going to see the room?"

This house should be the place where you will stay the most in the next few days, so it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the environment.

Everyone said they had no objections, Sheng Shu walked towards the stairs, and the others followed behind him.

Ji Siwei and Zhou Qi walked last.

This is an old house. It can be seen that the owner is maintaining it with care, but many places are still very old. Several places on the stairs have been replaced with new wooden boards, which looks a bit abrupt.

The stairs are narrow and steep, and they creak when you step on them, and you can't help but hold on to the handrail to increase your sense of security.

When he was about to go up to the second floor, Zhou Qi who was walking behind reminded Ji Siwei: "Hey, your shoelace fell off. If you don't tie it, you will fall if you step on it."

Ji Siwei looked down and saw that the shoelaces had indeed unraveled.

He walked up to the second floor, bent over to tie his shoelaces, and was about to stand up when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

When he raised his eyes, a pair of pale legs wearing red embroidered shoes appeared in front of him.

He heard a woman's chuckle, which seemed to come from overhead.

In the blink of an eye, those legs disappeared.

Although Ji Siwei's psychological endurance was stronger than that of ordinary people, his heart still stopped beating the moment those legs appeared.

He straightened up, and there was nothing in front of him.

Zhou Qi walked up to him and patted his shoulder: "Hey, what's the matter with you?"

Ji Siwei asked him: "Did you see anything strange just now?"

Zhou Qi said, "No."

Ji Siwei was sure that he was not mistaken, he asked the little puppet in his heart: "Little puppet, have you seen it?"

The little puppet replied: "Master, I saw it."

Ji Siwei asked again: "Is it still around?"

The little puppet sensed the breath nearby, and said, "It's hiding."

This house is not simple, and Zhi Zhayan, his twin child and the paper figurines in the house are all dangerous.

Next, be careful.

"Huya, Zhou Qi, you live in this room." Sheng Shu pointed to a room near the stairs and said to them, "Another room on the second floor has already been selected by Yanyue."

Yanyue held the doorknob of another room, her eyes fell on Ji Siwei: "Is there any objection?"

Ji Siwei said, "Anything you want."

As soon as Yanyue opened the door, the freckled girl standing next to her burst into screams.

The girl's scream was quite lethal, Yanyue covered her eardrum that was almost pierced, and cursed in a low voice: "There are also paper dolls in the room, what the hell is wrong with that?"

"What's the matter?" Sheng Shu was about to go upstairs, but when he heard the scream, he backed away. After seeing the things in the room, he took a breath of air: "The paper figurine's outfit is a bit scary."

On the chair facing the door, sat a paper woman in a red wedding dress, with a red hijab embroidered with mandarin ducks on her head and a pair of red embroidered shoes on her feet. Wears two gold bracelets.

Because the clothes and shoes on his body are real, and he can't see his face, if he didn't look carefully at his arms and legs, he really wouldn't be able to recognize it as a paper figurine.

At this time, Ji Siwei also saw the paper woman on the chair, and he found that the embroidered shoes worn by the paper woman were exactly the same as the pair he had just seen at the stairs.

There must be a connection between the two.

Ji Siwei felt strange, and asked the little puppet, "Is there a ghost inside this paper figurine?"

The little puppet poked its head out of its pocket quietly, looked at it carefully for a while, and was a little distressed: "Master, the little puppet can't see it."

The freckled girl came over slowly, but her face was still a little ugly: "This paper figurine is sitting here, how can we sleep at night?"

Sheng Shu touched the rough beard on his chin: "We can't touch the paper figurine, let's go down and ask Zhi Zhayan later."

"It can only be like this." Yanyue thought for a while, then turned to look at Ji Siwei: "Open the door of your room and see if there is anything strange."

Yanyue's attitude was a bit aggressive, but Ji Siwei didn't care, and opened the door as he said.
