“Did you make the wax man’s brand?”

"Not yet."

"How do those wax men know how to make puppets and signs?"

"We...we weren't on guard...sometimes we even asked them to help..."

"Huh... you are really good at utilizing labor force."

"Cough cough cough... now, cough cough, what should we do now? Li Tao..."

"Can the wax figures be restored because they melted close to a heat source? Can their appearance change again?"

"I don't know. We haven't tried it. We only know that it will melt away. Once it melts, we will burn it. If it melts away within the time limit, it will be completely dead and will become something like water. After a while, it will Evaporate."

"You didn't keep Li Tao's brand either?"

"No...that, that brand...starfish..."

"I panicked when I found out. We quickly packed up and left, taking away the puppet belts and corpse oil. We couldn't place the other things, so we just threw them all there. The sign, when I saw the sign melted, it disappeared. Never mind..."

"What you said before turns into water and evaporates over time. How long does the whole process take?"

"A month or so...it will emit the corpse smell first, and the smell will dissipate and turn into clear water, and then it will slowly evaporate."

"If it is thirty days, then the sign will not disappear naturally."

"Ah...then Li Tao..."

"The owner of the blood and hair used by Li Tao is also named Li Tao? Is the identity information the content of your forged ID card?"

"Yes, yes."

"100cc and ten hairs can make a puppet that lasts for a month. If this Li Tao wants to survive, he needs to find a living Li Tao."

"Boss, let's start the investigation from Li Tao."

"Yes. Before that, three of you, please hand over your inventory and let us destroy it."

"What?"

"No! We didn't harm anyone, and neither did Li Tao..."

"Cough cough cough cough...give it to them..."

"Dad, your illness is still..."

"Give it to them. And those signs... Ahem... I can't do it anymore, and so can you... It is said that my ancestors can strangle an inferi with one hand and will not let them cause trouble. For generations, It's just me, something went wrong... I've lived long enough, longer than my ancestors, that's enough... Ahem... Starfish, you shouldn't touch these, I didn't want to pass them on to you. This...cough..."

"Dad...wu..."

"Meng Shu, give them your things. Our daughter should live a good life. These few years are enough. Ahem..."

"Woooo... good..."

I exhaled and put away the last Aoba file I had on hand.

As a result, I have no new files to read for the time being. I don't know whether to feel relaxed or sad.

Nothing happened in the next few days, and I didn't dream about Tao Zheng anymore. My life was as peaceful as if I had retired early.

In a blink of an eye, it’s the National Day holiday in November.

The National Day holiday is only one day, so it is inconvenient to travel, which means it feels like an extra weekend.

My sister, a prospective candidate, has no weekends or holidays. This year our family did not go to see the National Day fireworks and float parade. In previous years, I went to see those for fun and family activities. There are fewer of them this year, and I don’t feel lonely or deserted. On the contrary, because my sister is about to take the college entrance examination, we are full of expectations. We have agreed to go out as a family during next summer vacation. We also have to make up for this year’s National Day holiday. We have to buy tickets in advance to watch the fireworks - if you don’t buy tickets, you can only go out at On the periphery, the fireworks in the close range cannot be seen clearly.

We talked lively at breakfast, and the next day, my sister concentrated on reviewing, and my parents and I kept quiet and didn't disturb her.

I played with my phone for a while and started to feel sleepy in the afternoon, so I was ready to take a nap.

As soon as I put down the phone, I fell into dreamland.

The sound of fireworks exploding was a bit loud, the noise of the crowd, the floats passing by quickly, the heads, fireworks, floats... the picture was chaotic and the sounds were noisy.

when!

After a deafening sound, the noise turned into darkness.

"There are too many people, you can't see anything."

Girls complain about acting coquettishly.

The darkness slowly faded away. A pretty girl appeared in front of me and turned to look at me.

I heard someone talking from where I was standing: "I didn't expect so many people. There weren't that many people before."

"When was it before?"

"Just the past two years. When I was a kid, there were more people. There were many people watching the National Day fireworks and the New Year's Day fireworks. The talent was great back then. Now they are all tourists from out of town."

"They are all human beings anyway, so what's the difference? I feel a little uncomfortable, so let's go."

"good."

The man moved, but I stayed still and saw what he looked like. In fact, I know it without even looking. This is Tao Zheng.

This is the first time I have encountered this situation. The dream about the same ghost actually appeared again after several days.

Tao Zheng protected a girl and pushed her way out of the crowd. It seems that they don't often come to see fireworks and floats, and they happened to be stuck in the most crowded place.

In the past few years, our family has always chosen a deserted corner to watch fireworks and floats. That corner was the one that Slender Man first discovered. It is also because we know that the viewing location is good and there are not many people, so our family will maintain the National Day family activities. Otherwise, who can stand such a crowded environment? The thin man didn't say how he discovered it, but the more he didn't say it, the more I could guess that it must have something to do with his girlfriend who likes psychics, and maybe he found some psychic to figure it out.

I thought for a while and then my body followed Tao Zheng spontaneously.

Tao Zheng seemed to be a considerate boyfriend, and he protected his girlfriend to the exit passage opened nearby. It is said to be a passage, but it is actually a narrow road separated by iron railings for people walking against the current. It runs counter to the fireworks display point. Naturally, there are very few people in this passage - they are crowded for most of the way. Who would give up? Woolen cloth?

The girl was quite happy. Perhaps compared to watching fireworks, your boyfriend's meticulous care is more important.

From what I saw, Tao Zheng looked much younger than he does now, like a college student. His girlfriend is not young either, around 20 years old, which is her best years.

After walking for a while, Tao Zheng's cell phone rang.

I should not be able to hear the sound on the phone from my position, but what Tao Zheng heard was clearly transmitted to my ears.

"Zhengzheng, can you come back now? Your grandfather is in hospital and your father is not here. I..."

That was Peng Dongyuan's choked voice.

Tao Zheng's face turned pale slightly, he glanced at the girl and immediately agreed.

"Tao Zheng?" The girl looked at Tao Zheng worriedly.

"I have something to do at home. Sorry. Let's keep walking. When we get to the exit, there should be a rental waiting for us." Tao Zheng apologized.

"It doesn't matter. If you have something to do at home, you can leave first. I can take a taxi myself." The girl smiled and distanced herself from Tao Zheng, but she didn't mean to dislike him. "If anything happens, remember to call me."

"Yeah. When you get to school, call me too," Tao Zheng said.

"good."

Tao Zheng apologized again, then ran away and hurriedly left the lively crowd.

I heard the "dang-dang" sound again, and the copper plates fell into the broken bowl, one after another. I suddenly realized that this was not the sound I heard, but the sound that Tao Zheng heard and was transmitted to me.

Tao Zheng pursed his lips, turning a deaf ear to this, and just kept running.

The sound became more and more urgent, more and more urgent, covering up Tao Zheng's footsteps and the noise of the crowd.

With a "bang", fireworks shot up into the sky, and the National Day fireworks show began.

The gorgeous fireworks filled my field of vision, and all I saw was the dark night and a bright blue field of fireworks.

Happy New Year to everyone~

I wish everyone good luck and all the best in the Year of the Rooster~

Okay, I'm done keeping watch on New Year's Eve, I'm going to bed first. Good night everyone~
