I was watched by ghosts as soon as the live broadcast
Chapter 82 The Puppeteer 03
"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom."
The knock on the door continued, with no intention of stopping.
Ruan Yang pressed his hand on the doorknob, and looked back at Guan Hanshi.Guan Hanshi understood immediately, pulled Ranran over and protected him behind him.When Pei Sheng saw that something was wrong, he consciously hid behind Ran Ran.The three of them retreated to the living room, where they could see the situation at the door and kept a certain distance from the door.
Ruan Yang looked back at the quiet living room, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
The knock on the door was so loud that even Ranran was awakened, so why didn't Ranran's father, Mr. Yang, be awakened?As an adult, how could you not even have this vigilance?
"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom."
Ruan Yang withdrew his thoughts, put the problems inside the door aside first, and now he has to solve the problems outside the door first.
As Ruan Yang pressed the doorknob, the three people in the living room breathed tensely.Even Ranran, who had been hearing her mother's voice calling her, was affected by the serious expressions of the three brothers. Her little hands grabbed the corner of Guan Hanshi's clothes, and her eyes were fixed on the direction of the door.
The quality of the door is very good, there is no "squeak" sound.
Ruan Yang held the jade bell in his hand, and suddenly opened the door, and the jade bell was thrown out of the door.Unexpectedly, there was nothing within the line of sight, only the jade bell hanging in mid-air, emitting light blue light quietly.
Ruan Yang looked down and his eyes sank.A dull woman's head was lying on Ruan Yang's toes, her eyes revealed joy and surprise, her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't make a sound.
That's why Ruan Yang couldn't see people through the cat's eyes, and the knocking on the door kept coming.
Guan Hanshi: "What's the situation?"
Ruan Yang turned sideways slightly: "Old Guan, you come here first. Pei Papi, you watch the child."
Ruan Yang, who had a complete division of labor, jumped anxiously on the woman's head, without taking a step back.He just silently mouthed the woman's head: "Be quiet."
The woman's head understood Ruan Yang's mouth shape, and stared at her eyes: My throat was cut off, so I can't make a sound at all.The woman's head ignored Ruan Yang and continued to jump towards the door, but as soon as she jumped up, she was immediately blocked by an invisible wall.
The woman's head frowned, looking at the jade bell hanging above her head, she felt that this green thing was extremely annoying.
Guan Han walked in front of Ruan Yang in a few steps, and saw the head bouncing persistently on the ground, with long hair hanging behind the head, bouncing up and down with the movement.
Guan Hanshi's gaze was slightly cold, and he could tell at a glance that it was a remnant soul.The remnant soul is due to some reasons, it cannot be integrated with the main body of the soul, or it has lost the connection with the main body of the soul, or the body of the deceased was incomplete before death, and the body was not complete after death.It seems that after the woman's head was cut off, it was separated from the body.
Now, in the middle of the night, the woman's head came over and knocked on the door with all her might, making a "dong dong dong" sound. Could it be...
Guan Han raised his eyes and looked at Ruan Yang.Both of them saw the answer in each other's heart in each other's eyes, and they both looked towards the living room at the same time, and their eyes fell on Ranran who was hugged in Pei Sheng's arms.
Although he is young, he is precocious. When he heard the door open, the knocking on the door stopped, but no one came in. He didn't know what was going on, but he intuitively felt it from the eyes of the two elder brothers. I feel that the person knocking on the door is related to me.
As soon as Ran Ran broke away from Pei Sheng's arms, she ran up to Ruan Yang and Guan Hanshi with short legs, raised her head and asked, "Is my mother back?"
Guan Hanshi and Ruan Yang stood closer again by coincidence, shaking their heads together: "No, no one, maybe it's someone else's door knocking, we all misheard."
However, she still didn't give up, she stared into Chun Che's eyes, showing disappointment: "Is it really?"
Ruan Yang's tone was soft: "Of course, it should be that you miss your mother so much, and dreamed that your mother came back." Ruan Yang gave Pei Sheng a wink.Pei Sheng understood immediately, walked over quickly, picked up Ranran, and walked to Ranran's bedroom.
Guan Hanshi looked sideways at the woman's head outside the door.The woman's head was very excited, even angry, anger burst out from her eyes, and her bouncing movements became more intense.
Ruan Yang turned around, sighed softly, came out with Guan Hanshi, walked to the corridor, and closed the door.
Once outside the boundaries of the house, the woman's head can touch them.It is said to be touching, but in fact it is just passing through their bodies.
Ruan Yang watched the woman's head rolling between the legs of the two big men, feeling uncomfortable. He squatted down and raised his palm to stop it: "Stop! Talk carefully first. Oh, I forgot that it's not convenient for you to talk now."
The woman's head looked anxiously at the crack in the door behind Ruan Yang.
Ruan Yang: "Don't look, you can't get in now. First of all, your soul is not complete, and secondly, ghosts cannot enter without the direct or indirect permission of the host, especially if there is a Bodhisattva at home."
Only then did the woman understand that what prevented her from entering the door was not the jade bell hanging above her head, but that she could no longer enter in the normal way, even though she was once the hostess of the house.When the woman thought of this, crystal tears welled up in her eyes.
Ruan Yang: "..."
Ruan Yang: "Don't, I didn't mean to make you suffer, just to explain, I'm afraid you might misunderstand that we won't let you in to meet Ranran. You don't want to see Ranran in this way. Ranran ...is a child, so he probably couldn't accept the image of his mother for a while."
The woman stopped crying silently, looked at Ruan Yang, opened and closed her mouth.
Ruan Yang had a headache: "Speak slowly, or write... forget it, you can't write now."
Guan Hanshi: "Don't play the game of guessing what you say, it's too inefficient. When someone passes by later, they will only think that the two men are crazy and mutter to the air."
Ruan Yang made a final decision: "When we ask, nod if yes, and shake if no. You will always nod and shake your head."
The woman's head seemed to have realized that this was the hope she had waited for so long since she became like this, and immediately nodded frantically.
Ruan Yang: "Are you Ranran's mother?"
The woman's head nods.
Ruan Yang: "Killed?"
The woman's head nodded again.
Guan Hanshi: "What kind of problem do you have, you don't have any technical content."
Ruan Yang retorted: "What do you know, I am ruling out all possibilities, and it may be an accident."
Guan Hanshi: "..."
Ruan Yang's words made sense, and indeed there was such a possibility.
Ruan Yang regained control of his words: "Did you see the murderer?"
The woman's head was in a trance, and she shook her head gently after a long while.Ruan Yang said hello to this question in his heart.
Guan Hanshi: "You didn't even see the murderer who killed you, you really died unjustly."
Ruan Yang: "Where is your head?"
The woman shook her head quickly this time without any hesitation.
Ruan Yang: "Where's the body? Where's the hands and feet? I don't know where the other parts are?"
The woman still shook her head.
Ruan Yang put his hand on his chin: "This is a difficult situation. A fool who doesn't know anything may become an unsolved case."
Guan Hanshi: "The consciousness of the remnant soul is not complete. It may be that when the remnant soul becomes conscious, the original body has been dead for several days. Otherwise, how could it be delayed until this time to come to the door."
Ruan Yang raised his chin: "Hey, let's not talk about it, Mr. Yang has information about his wife. Well, what did Mr. Yang say."
According to his memory, Ruan Yang tried his best to reproduce what Mr. Yang said to himself in front of the window tonight: "She just quarreled with me at the time, and ran away from home in a fit of anger, and now she refuses to come back because of her The anger hasn't dissipated yet. When her anger dissipates, she will come back naturally."
After learning Mr. Yang's words, Ruan Yang spread his hands together: "Old Guan, look, isn't he coming back now? So, a husband and wife are a husband and wife, and the telepathy is still there."
Guan Hanshi said coldly: "If there is telepathy, then it won't be a child who wakes up in the middle of the night, but him."
Ruan Yang did not miss the loneliness in the eyes of the woman's head on the ground, as if he was digesting the words he heard.Ruan Yang thought for a while, and then asked: "There is one more question, can you remember where you were when you first became conscious?"
The woman's head stared at Ruan Yang and Guan Han, shaking her head slowly but firmly.
Ruan Yang's heart suddenly felt cold, he stood up, stretched his waist, and yawned big: "Okay, I'm done asking. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to sleep first."
Guan Hanshi: "Then what should she do?"
Ruan Yang was helpless: "What can I do? She doesn't remember anything, or else send it directly to Gao Fatty, please Gao Fatty, and give her relief?"
The woman's head became tense, and she shook her head desperately to express her resistance and displeasure.She came back after all the hardships, without any other purpose, just hoping to see her son Ranran again, even if Ranran couldn't see herself.
"Mr. Ruan, it's so cold, what are you doing here?"
The door behind Ruan Yang was suddenly opened, and Mr. Yang, who had been sleeping peacefully before, stood in the door frame in his pajamas, looking at the two of them strangely.
Ruan Yang acted cautiously and took a step aside, exposing the woman's head in Mr. Yang's line of sight, observing the changes in Mr. Yang's expression carefully.However, to Ruan Yang's surprise, Mr. Yang's facial expression remained unchanged, as if he couldn't see the existence of the woman's head on the ground at all.
Ruan Yang glanced at Guan Han, then put his hands in his trouser pockets, making the trouser pockets bulge up, making it hard to tell whether the trouser pockets were empty or filled.Ruan Yang smiled and said: "Maybe because he was a little sleepy, couldn't sleep, and became addicted to cigarettes again, so he dragged Lao Guan to smoke together, but he felt embarrassed to smoke at Mr. Yang's house, so he came out."
Mr. Yang smiled generously: "Mr. Ruan is too polite, I don't care. As long as you don't smoke in the bedroom, you can do anything else. It's late at night and the corridor is too cold, so come in, don't catch a cold, or it will be me It's not enough to entertain."
Ruan Yang nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll flick the cigarette ash."
At the moment when Guan Hanshi was talking nonsense in Ruan Yang's heart, he leisurely played with the lighter out of his pocket, and matched Ruan Yang's performance, playing the role of a close smoker.
Mr. Yang: "Okay, I'll go back to sleep first, and the two of you should go to bed early. I guess the rain will stop tomorrow morning."
The moment Mr. Yang turned and entered the room, Ruan Yang suddenly asked, "Mr. Yang, did you hear anything just now?"
After taking a few steps into the house, Mr. Yang stopped, turned his head, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's the sound?"
The corners of Ruan Yang's mouth curled up even more: "I didn't hear that. Mr. Yang's sleep quality must be very good."
Mr. Yang: "Mr. Ruan heard something?"
Ruan Yang: "It's nothing, it's just that the rain outside the window is too loud, tick tock, I thought it was a water leak at first."
Mr. Yang looked around the room and listened carefully: "Sorry, Mr. Ruan, maybe the sound insulation effect of the glass in the study is not very good. If Mr. Ruan doesn't mind, you can sleep in my room, and I will change it with you."
Ruan Yang quickly waved his hand: "Don't bother. There is no such voice now."
Mr. Yang still looked apologetic, and was about to say something more.Ruan Yang stopped his words: "It was the three of us who troubled Mr. Yang. If Mr. Yang does this again, we will really be ashamed to death."
Guan Han hurriedly put on a shameful face, disturbing Mr. Yang.
Mr. Yang can only say: "Okay, go to bed early."
Seeing that Mr. Yang closed the door again, Ruan Yang pulled Guan Hanshi to the safe stairwell.The woman followed behind with a bouncing head, and also reached the stairwell, at least she didn't need anyone's permission in the stairwell.
Ruan Yang peeked at the door of the house from the crack in the stairwell, and asked in an urgent voice: "Old Guan, tell me, will Mr. Yang scold us two crazy in his heart at this time?"
Guan Hanshi leaned against the wall with his arms folded: "Your words just now were too forced, it's normal for him to suspect."
Ruan Yang clapped his hands slowly: "Just to make him suspicious. The words just now were also testing him. Didn't you notice? He didn't see the wife he was thinking of at all."
The eyes of the woman's head dimmed a bit, lowered slightly, avoiding Ruan Yang and Guan Han's scrutiny.
Ruan Yang sighed lightly: "Oh, unconscious remnant souls are really tricky. Otherwise, we'll pay attention to social news recently to see when a headless corpse case will be reported, and compare it then."
Guan Hanshi glanced at Ruan Yang, saw that Ruan Yang was winking at him, and understood that he was putting pressure on the woman's head, forcing her to give some more clues.
Guan Hanshi cleared his throat: "A remnant soul is no better than a complete soul, and a headless corpse is hard to come by. If the murderer's methods are very clever, it will take a long time for the headless corpse to be discovered. The remnant soul has long since vanished into the world, or was swallowed up by other ghosts."
The woman's head suddenly lifted up, and when she stared at Guan Han, she looked at that scrutinizing gaze, as if she was judging the truthfulness of what Guan Han said and how much she trusted.
Ruan Yang stood aside, and when he heard Guan Hanshi's mouth say "you can't find it", the corners of his mouth twitched. He didn't quite understand Guan Hanshi's brain circuit, how could he come up with this word and use it here Come.But when he saw the seriousness of the eyes on the woman's head, he didn't bother to care about these details.
Ruan Yang asked: "The identity of the murderer, the method of death, the location of the body, in order, nod as many times as you know."
Ruan Yang suddenly felt that he was like a mobile customer service staff, the kind who read "Press one for phone bill inquiries, press two for discount inquiries".
While Ruan Yang and Guan Hanshi were waiting, the woman's head slowly nodded once, twice, and three times.Before the fireworks of hope bloomed in Ruan Yang's heart, he heard the elevator "ding dong" in the quiet corridor.
Ruan Yang was wondering, in the middle of the night, the buildings here have two households per elevator.Who would this night shift visitor be?
Ruan Yang slightly opened the door of the safe passage with his hands, and looked towards the elevator, feeling as if he had been shocked by an electric shock.After opening his mouth slightly for a long time, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "My darling, Lao Guan, you should go and drag Pei Papi out. The perfect combination of technology and art he talked about has come to you."
Guan Han was taken aback for a moment, stepped over to the door of the safe passage, and looked towards the elevator.
Before the elevator door was closed, the lights in the elevator were cast into the dim corridor, illuminating the people standing in the elevator.Well, that's actually not accurate.The headless horseman in the elevator is riding on a black steed, majestic and majestic.Because the horse is a bit tall, only the headless horseman's feet to waist and abdomen are exposed.
Ruan Yang felt a chill in his calf, looked down, and saw a woman's head squeezed over at some point, passed through Ruan Yang's calf, and squeezed into the crack of the door to watch, her eyes were a little excited, and her mouth was screaming silently What.
Ruan Yang slipped his leg, passed between the woman's head, and said in a low voice, "Don't go out yet."
The black horse in the elevator is very spiritual. It bends its front legs slightly and leans out of the elevator.The headless horseman holding the knight's sword came out of the elevator smoothly, casting a long and strange shadow on the ground.
Guan Hanshi: "No, the house is not closed."
Ruan Yang looked at the door which was only a few meters away from the elevator, and his heart couldn't help but lift up.Looking at the headless horseman who appeared like a ghost in the middle of the night, the purpose seems to be very clear, that is to go to Mr. Yang's house.
No!
Don't let the Headless Horseman in!
Ruan Yang didn't have time to discuss with Guan Hanshi, so he suddenly opened the door of the safe passage, and whistled loudly at the Headless Horseman: "Hey, don't you see anyone here? Oh, it's my fault, I looked You have no brains."
The black steed was the first to react, and turned back and rushed towards the direction of the safe passage.
Ruan Yang didn't have time to complain, and was about to pull Guan Hanshi to run away, but when he looked sideways, Guan Hanshi was more responsive than him, so he ran upstairs.Followed by a woman's head, without hands and feet, she ran for her life but was unambiguous at all, jumping up and down three steps.
Ruan Yang cursed in a low voice: "Fuck! No heart, no loyalty!" He also ran upstairs.
As soon as he left the door of the safe passage, the door was knocked open by a black horse, and two trash cans were also knocked out one after another, rolling downstairs with a "bang bang bang bang".The loud noise echoed in the silent stairwell.
Ruan Yang felt relieved, the escape route that Guan Han chose out of desperation was correct, running upstairs was obviously much more difficult for Ma.Unexpectedly, when he turned the corner, he saw that the headless horseman got off his horse and chased after him holding up the sharp knight sword.
Ruan Yang strode across three steps, dodging the knight's sword that was cutting directly at him.The knight's sword slashed on the metal railing, hitting a series of golden sparks, startled Ruan Yang hurriedly grabbed the metal railing beside him, kicked up his legs, flipped up, and turned directly to the stairs on the upper floor.
Seeing Ruan Yang, who was originally behind him, suddenly jumping in front of him, Guan Hanshi's gaze on Ruan Yang was indescribable.
At the critical moment, Ruan Yang still had time to tease: "I'm sorry, let's go first."
Before he finished speaking, he grabbed Guan Hanshi's shoulder and swung it aside.
"clang--"
The knight's sword hit Guan Han on the steps where he was standing.The steps fell apart cleanly.
The Headless Horseman stepped on it indifferently, and a big footprint was deeply sunken on the torn steps.
Ruan Yang "tsk tut" twice, and continued to run, but he didn't forget to turn around and say: "Female strong man, you are beyond the reach of male generals."
Guan Hanshi followed closely behind: "What should we do now?"
Ruan Yang heard the whirring air blowing past his ears, stepped up the steps in three steps at a time, and asked, "Is it still raining outside?"
Guan Hanshi didn't know why Ruan Yang asked this suddenly: "You don't want to get this guy out in the rain, do you? This guy is fully armed and armored, we can't carry it."
Ruan Yang curled his lips: "Didn't you notice? There is no water on this guy, not even the horse's hair is wet."
When Ruan Yang said this, a light flashed in Guan Hanshi's mind: "This guy didn't come from outside, he was originally in this building."
Ruan Yang: "Maybe, that house in this building is this guy's lair."
Guan Hanshi: "Hurry up, I'm about to catch up."
Ruan Yang: "Hey, what about that ghost?"
Guan Hanshi: "What the hell do you care about at this time, run quickly! Hurry up!"
Ruan Yang kicked open the door of the safe passage, intending to take the elevator down before the headless horseman caught up.The Headless Horseman can't run out of strength, but he and Guan Hanshi can't.
However, God always wants to make a joke at critical moments.
The elevator actually stopped on the first floor.This is the 32nd floor, no matter how fast the elevator is, it can't be faster than the sound of iron armor that is getting closer.Ruan Yang directly gave up on this path, went to a door and picked the lock.
Guan Han was dumbfounded as he watched Ruan Yang open the lock with just a paper clip. Hearing the sound of iron armor behind him, he didn't have time to praise Ruan Yang's lockpicking skills, so he pushed hard and squeezed through the door.He slammed the door shut with his hand back.
Guan Hanshi and Ruan Yang leaned against the door panel, panting heavily, looked at each other, and whispered: "Exciting!"
Strangely, the Headless Horseman chased to the door, stopped suddenly, stood quietly for a few seconds, turned around and left.Ruan Yang put his ear on the back of the door, confirmed that the headless horseman had left the door, walked to the stairwell, and heaved a long sigh of relief at the sound of descending the steps.
Ruan Yang: "I might be okay with ghosts. I can't really deal with this guy who is neither human nor ghost."
Guan Hanshi frowned and lowered his head, as if he didn't hear Ruan Yang's words.
Guan Han said, "Have you ever heard of an experience?"
Ruan Yang: "What experience? The experience of escaping from a tiger's mouth?"
Guan Han rolled his eyes at Ruan Yang: "Once upon a time there was a mountain..."
Ruan Yang took it smoothly: "Is there a temple in the mountain?"
Guan Hanshi couldn't bear it anymore: "Don't interrupt me! Once upon a time there was a mountain with dense forests and wild beasts infested it. A man who went up the mountain to cut wood met a poisonous snake, and was chased by the poisonous snake to escape. He fled to a cave, but the poisonous snake retreated by itself. Crawled away. The woodcutter was thankful that he had escaped the fate of being bitten by a poisonous snake. He was about to climb out of the cave, but he felt a warm airflow behind him. Looking back, he saw a big spotted tiger lying on his back. behind."
Ruan Yang: "You've said such a long paragraph, but it can be summed up in one sentence. The ferocious departure is not because he suddenly loses interest in the prey, but because there are more ferocious things."
As soon as they finished speaking, their bodies shook at the same time, yes, this experience is so similar to their current situation.Moreover, why did the two people make such a big noise picking the lock, the owner of the house was not disturbed?
Ruan Yang and Guan Han silently turned their heads together, looking at the room they fled into just now in a panic.
"what--"
Just as the two screamed in fright at the same time, their mouths were covered by the other's palm at the same time.
In the dark room, there were two fully clothed people standing on both sides of the hallway. Only the outline of the clothes could be seen clearly, but the eyes of the two people were like glass, shining in the darkness.
The two faced the two on both sides of the hallway, neither of them would make a move first, so they stood face to face for a few minutes.Under Guan Hanshi's palm, Ruan Yang gently asked the question in his heart: "These two people seem to be motionless."
After being reminded by Ruan Yang, Guan Han also noticed it, and moved slightly to the side, but the other party remained motionless.The body moved back a little more, but the other party remained motionless.
Guan Hanshi took out the phone from his trouser pocket and pressed the screen to turn on.The screen of the mobile phone shined on the two people who had been looking at him without moving since Ruan Yang and the two broke in.My heart skipped a beat.
Glass ball eyes, skin-colored cheeks, blood-red lips, two slits on both sides of the mouth to the chin, and a slit on the palm exposed outside the clothes, whether it is the wrist or the knuckles of the fingers.A real person looks like a puppet that is as tall as a real person.
Ruan Yang narrowed his eyes, broke free from the palm of Guan Hanshi's hand, and at the same time let go of the hand covering Guan Hanshi's mouth: "Why is there someone who puts these two things at home and acts as a door god?"
Guan Hanshi didn't comment on his personal life hobbies, followed by the bright light of the mobile phone screen, looked into the living room, and found many figures.
Ruan Yang walked in quietly, and there were several life-sized dolls sitting on the sofa in the living room.Some were drinking tea, some were pouring water, some had one hand in their mouth and some melon seeds in the other.The whole picture is like a daily life segment where the pause button was suddenly pressed, and all the people kept their postures at that time and continued to move.
On this night of being hunted down for no reason, and inadvertently breaking into such a weird house, Ruan Yang began to feel nervous.Normal people wouldn't have so many dolls in their homes, right? It's not...
Wait.
Ruan Yang heard what Mr. Yang said.
"I heard that many of the works in it were produced by a Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang was a famous puppeteer when he was young and lived in Victoria Bay, but he was very low-key and no one had ever seen him. "
Ruan Yang didn't know how to describe his current chaotic thoughts. First, he was chased and killed by the headless horseman who suddenly appeared, and now he broke into the house of a low-key and mysterious puppeteer whom no one had ever seen.I don't know if the Headless Horseman will still be waiting in the stairwell. Are you going to be with a room full of weird dolls tonight?
Guan Hanshi was at the entrance, hesitated for a few seconds, and then followed Ruan Yang into the living room on tiptoe.
Ruan Yang asked in a low voice, "Send Pei Papi a WeChat message to make sure they are safe."
Guan Hanshi's fingers typed quickly on the screen.Ruan Yang noticed with sharp eyes that Guan Hanshi had set Pei Sheng's WeChat dialog box to the top chat.
The phone blinked silently.
Guan Hanshi opened his fingers and whispered to Ruan Yang, "They're fine. I told them not to open the door."
Ruan Yang stroked his chin: "It seems that the Headless Horseman will not recklessly break into other people's homes for the time being."
Guan Hanshi: "I just don't know if we will run into each other again when we go down now."
Ruan Yang looked at the room full of dozens of puppets, and the corner of his mouth twitched.It seemed that they were lucky, the puppeteer surnamed Wang whose dragon was missing was not at home.Ruan Yang intends to selectively ignore these puppets and borrow his treasure land to stay for a while longer.
Ruan Yang stared at the motionless puppet in the dark, and made a suggestion: "Anyway, it's here, let's take a look around?"
Guan Hanshi was more disciplined than Ruan Yang, and his face showed embarrassment.
Ruan Yang urged again: "Anyway, we have already entered, ten steps are also taken, and a hundred steps are also taken. We also enter the living room and enter the room. Let's just walk through it all."
When Guan Hanshi followed Ruan Yang's footsteps and walked to the door of what seemed to be a studio, he didn't react much, how he was bewitched by Ruan Yang's fallacies.
The studio door was left open.Ruan Yang took a look with his probe and felt that the furnishings in the studio were amazing.If the porch and the living room are the display areas for the puppeteer's works, then this studio is the artificial assembly line production area.
The puppeteer surnamed Wang opened up two large rooms and made it a studio.A row of life-size dolls are neatly displayed on the two walls.There are men and women, old and young, depending on the clothing decoration, they should belong to different occupations and different living classes.At least in Ruan Yang's eyes, he saw cleaners, homeless people, and white-collar workers.
Guan Hanshi stood on the other side and whispered: "Come here quickly."
Ruan Yang walked over and saw three large glass jars displayed in the glass cabinet, which contained glass eyes, ears, and noses by category, immersed in transparent liquid.
It's not that I haven't seen human organs, but in this weird atmosphere, looking at the specimens soaked in formalin liquid in the medical school, my stomach feels a little churn.
Ruan Yang took a deep breath, calmed down his fluctuating emotions, and rubbed his temples: "I work with these things all day, and the puppeteer is also a genius."
Guan Hanshi stared at the eyes, ears, and nose in the glass jar, without speaking.
Ruan Yang walked to the side and saw a large white cloth covering a shelf.Ruan Yang lightly lifted a corner of the white cloth, bent down to look up, and jumped back in shock for a moment, almost missing Guan Hanshi.
Guan Hanshi held on to the glass cabinet and cast an inquiring look at Ruan Yang.
Ruan Yang grabbed Guan Hanshi's arm, vigorously lifted the white cloth, and a row of heads were neatly displayed on the shelf, with different appearances.Guan Hanshi glanced over, there were old wrinkled old men, young men with smiles on their lips, and...
Guan Hanshi's pupils constricted suddenly, and he suddenly understood why Ruan Yang was so frightened, even the hand holding his arm was cold.
There is also a woman's head on display on the shelf. The appearance and facial features are exactly the same as Ranran's mother who kept knocking on the door not long ago.
Guan Hanshi reached out and lightly touched the skin on the woman's cheek, and forgot to glance at Ruan Yang in surprise: "The skin is still very elastic...people who have been dead for many days...should No way......"
Ruan Yang murmured: "Old Guan, you have been in the Taoist family a lot, so you should know that this kind of thing is not impossible."
Guan Hanshi frowned: "However, I have never heard of using a living person or corpse as a doll."
Ruan Yang pointed to the head in front of him, then pointed to the three glass bottles containing eyes, ears, and noses in the glass cabinet: "Don't you gain insight now?"
Guan Hanshi couldn't help recalling the tactile sensation when his fingers touched the head before, although he kept wanting to deny it in his mind, he couldn't deceive himself in his heart.This kind of real-life touch is a level that modern technology has not yet achieved.
There are many sects of Taoism, and each sect has developed for many years, and basically has some unique forbidden techniques, which cannot be taught by outsiders.In the past, the master had vaguely mentioned the forbidden technique of paper-cutting, which really surprised Guan Hanshi. No wonder he was ordered by the patriarch to prohibit the younger disciples from studying it.
And now, have they encountered forbidden techniques from other sects...
The torrential rain outside the window was still falling, and the raindrops hit the glass window with a "crackling" sound.The lightning and thunder that stopped suddenly started again.Bright lightning pierced the night sky and leaked into this terrifying puppet studio, briefly illuminating the interior of the studio.
The life-size dolls, the glass bottles with eyes, ears, and noses, and the heads displayed on the shelves all made Ruan Yang and Guan Han, who were surrounded in the middle, shiver from the back of their necks to their backs. , A layer of goose bumps crawled from scalp to toes.
If these were puppets made by real people, how many people would the puppet master surnamed Wang have killed?
Ruan Yang didn't dare to go deep, so he could only urge Guan Hanshi to take a few photos with his mobile phone, both close-up and distant, and push Guan Hanshi out of the studio.In a room with so many dead people, there must be a lot of yin and resentment.No wonder when I first entered this house, I felt a little gloomy, and I thought it was because of the rainy night and the cold sky. It turns out...
Ruan Yang and Guan Hanshi, no one noticed, the moment they stepped out of the studio, a puppet standing in the corner suddenly opened its eyes, staring at the figures of Ruan Yang and Guan Hanshi, with a gloomy look on the corners of its mouth. A treacherous smile.
Ruan Yang walked into the living room, and the dolls who felt a little uncomfortable at first suddenly became eerie, as if every doll who was doing their own business was looking at the unexpected guest who broke in at night from the corner of their eyes.
Guan Hanshi pretended to be relaxed, and rarely joked: "You are really lucky. There are so many houses to choose from, but you have to choose this... um... .”
Ruan Yang responded unceremoniously: "There are two households in one ladder, either this one or the one next door, the probability of one-half is high enough. Besides, why don't you know the difference between the one next door and the one now? Don't the sets have the same owner?"
Ruan Yang paused, and then said: "And, shouldn't we be glad that the owner of the house is not at home now?"
Guan Hanshi thought about it, if the moment they came in, they were killing people like hemp, and even the puppeteer surnamed Wang with an assembly line scale was right behind them, they really wanted to cry before it was too late.
Ruan Yang leaned against a clean wall, thought for a while and said, "When I was sleeping in the study tonight, I also heard some sounds. It's just different from the knocking on the door you heard. What I heard was a There was a dull bang bang bang, like someone was banging on the ceiling."
Guan Hanshi stopped in front of Ruan Yang: "You mean, this bang bang bang might be a distress signal from the person captured by the puppeteer named Wang?"
Ruan Yang added: "And later, I saw a woman's face on the ceiling, and the facial features were not very clear."
Guan Hanshi: "What about the back?"
Ruan Yang: "After you broke in, she disappeared."
Guan Hanshi: "..."
It can't be my fault, can it?Guan Han thought to himself.
Ruan Yang glanced between the living room and the studio, and the more he looked, the clearer his doubts became.When he asked Guan Han: "Look, is there anything wrong?"
Guan Hanshi looked at it for a long time, but didn't see anything, and looked at Ruan Yang suspiciously.
Ruan Yang compared a length to him with his hands, and compared a shorter length with his hands.
Guan Han instantly understood Ruan Yang's thoughts and said, "The length is wrong."
Talking to smart people is more efficient, Ruan Yang thought, if it was Pei Sheng standing in front of him at this time, Pei Sheng would probably just stare and say, "There are more dolls, and there are fewer dolls."
The apartment types in the same location of this building are the same, but the combined length of the studio and the living room is much shorter than the length of Mr. Yang's house.Developers will not make such low-level mistakes, otherwise, the floor can be seen at a glance.
Ruan Yang guessed that there must be secret rooms in other places in this house, hiding even more ulterior motives.
Ruan Yang gestured to Guan Hanshi: "It's getting late, let's look separately."
Guan Hanshi and Ruan Yang started from the left and the other from the right, groping around the wall.
Ruan Yang carefully avoided the doll, and touched the wall for a long time, but to no avail, then touched the wine bottles one by one on the wine cabinet near the wall.Ruan Yang finally touched a small bump that could be twisted, and was overjoyed.
The white wall in front of him suddenly and soundlessly opened inwards.
When Ruan Yang was about to turn his head to call Guan Han, he was suddenly pushed into the wall by a force.
The knock on the door continued, with no intention of stopping.
Ruan Yang pressed his hand on the doorknob, and looked back at Guan Hanshi.Guan Hanshi understood immediately, pulled Ranran over and protected him behind him.When Pei Sheng saw that something was wrong, he consciously hid behind Ran Ran.The three of them retreated to the living room, where they could see the situation at the door and kept a certain distance from the door.
Ruan Yang looked back at the quiet living room, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
The knock on the door was so loud that even Ranran was awakened, so why didn't Ranran's father, Mr. Yang, be awakened?As an adult, how could you not even have this vigilance?
"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom."
Ruan Yang withdrew his thoughts, put the problems inside the door aside first, and now he has to solve the problems outside the door first.
As Ruan Yang pressed the doorknob, the three people in the living room breathed tensely.Even Ranran, who had been hearing her mother's voice calling her, was affected by the serious expressions of the three brothers. Her little hands grabbed the corner of Guan Hanshi's clothes, and her eyes were fixed on the direction of the door.
The quality of the door is very good, there is no "squeak" sound.
Ruan Yang held the jade bell in his hand, and suddenly opened the door, and the jade bell was thrown out of the door.Unexpectedly, there was nothing within the line of sight, only the jade bell hanging in mid-air, emitting light blue light quietly.
Ruan Yang looked down and his eyes sank.A dull woman's head was lying on Ruan Yang's toes, her eyes revealed joy and surprise, her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't make a sound.
That's why Ruan Yang couldn't see people through the cat's eyes, and the knocking on the door kept coming.
Guan Hanshi: "What's the situation?"
Ruan Yang turned sideways slightly: "Old Guan, you come here first. Pei Papi, you watch the child."
Ruan Yang, who had a complete division of labor, jumped anxiously on the woman's head, without taking a step back.He just silently mouthed the woman's head: "Be quiet."
The woman's head understood Ruan Yang's mouth shape, and stared at her eyes: My throat was cut off, so I can't make a sound at all.The woman's head ignored Ruan Yang and continued to jump towards the door, but as soon as she jumped up, she was immediately blocked by an invisible wall.
The woman's head frowned, looking at the jade bell hanging above her head, she felt that this green thing was extremely annoying.
Guan Han walked in front of Ruan Yang in a few steps, and saw the head bouncing persistently on the ground, with long hair hanging behind the head, bouncing up and down with the movement.
Guan Hanshi's gaze was slightly cold, and he could tell at a glance that it was a remnant soul.The remnant soul is due to some reasons, it cannot be integrated with the main body of the soul, or it has lost the connection with the main body of the soul, or the body of the deceased was incomplete before death, and the body was not complete after death.It seems that after the woman's head was cut off, it was separated from the body.
Now, in the middle of the night, the woman's head came over and knocked on the door with all her might, making a "dong dong dong" sound. Could it be...
Guan Han raised his eyes and looked at Ruan Yang.Both of them saw the answer in each other's heart in each other's eyes, and they both looked towards the living room at the same time, and their eyes fell on Ranran who was hugged in Pei Sheng's arms.
Although he is young, he is precocious. When he heard the door open, the knocking on the door stopped, but no one came in. He didn't know what was going on, but he intuitively felt it from the eyes of the two elder brothers. I feel that the person knocking on the door is related to me.
As soon as Ran Ran broke away from Pei Sheng's arms, she ran up to Ruan Yang and Guan Hanshi with short legs, raised her head and asked, "Is my mother back?"
Guan Hanshi and Ruan Yang stood closer again by coincidence, shaking their heads together: "No, no one, maybe it's someone else's door knocking, we all misheard."
However, she still didn't give up, she stared into Chun Che's eyes, showing disappointment: "Is it really?"
Ruan Yang's tone was soft: "Of course, it should be that you miss your mother so much, and dreamed that your mother came back." Ruan Yang gave Pei Sheng a wink.Pei Sheng understood immediately, walked over quickly, picked up Ranran, and walked to Ranran's bedroom.
Guan Hanshi looked sideways at the woman's head outside the door.The woman's head was very excited, even angry, anger burst out from her eyes, and her bouncing movements became more intense.
Ruan Yang turned around, sighed softly, came out with Guan Hanshi, walked to the corridor, and closed the door.
Once outside the boundaries of the house, the woman's head can touch them.It is said to be touching, but in fact it is just passing through their bodies.
Ruan Yang watched the woman's head rolling between the legs of the two big men, feeling uncomfortable. He squatted down and raised his palm to stop it: "Stop! Talk carefully first. Oh, I forgot that it's not convenient for you to talk now."
The woman's head looked anxiously at the crack in the door behind Ruan Yang.
Ruan Yang: "Don't look, you can't get in now. First of all, your soul is not complete, and secondly, ghosts cannot enter without the direct or indirect permission of the host, especially if there is a Bodhisattva at home."
Only then did the woman understand that what prevented her from entering the door was not the jade bell hanging above her head, but that she could no longer enter in the normal way, even though she was once the hostess of the house.When the woman thought of this, crystal tears welled up in her eyes.
Ruan Yang: "..."
Ruan Yang: "Don't, I didn't mean to make you suffer, just to explain, I'm afraid you might misunderstand that we won't let you in to meet Ranran. You don't want to see Ranran in this way. Ranran ...is a child, so he probably couldn't accept the image of his mother for a while."
The woman stopped crying silently, looked at Ruan Yang, opened and closed her mouth.
Ruan Yang had a headache: "Speak slowly, or write... forget it, you can't write now."
Guan Hanshi: "Don't play the game of guessing what you say, it's too inefficient. When someone passes by later, they will only think that the two men are crazy and mutter to the air."
Ruan Yang made a final decision: "When we ask, nod if yes, and shake if no. You will always nod and shake your head."
The woman's head seemed to have realized that this was the hope she had waited for so long since she became like this, and immediately nodded frantically.
Ruan Yang: "Are you Ranran's mother?"
The woman's head nods.
Ruan Yang: "Killed?"
The woman's head nodded again.
Guan Hanshi: "What kind of problem do you have, you don't have any technical content."
Ruan Yang retorted: "What do you know, I am ruling out all possibilities, and it may be an accident."
Guan Hanshi: "..."
Ruan Yang's words made sense, and indeed there was such a possibility.
Ruan Yang regained control of his words: "Did you see the murderer?"
The woman's head was in a trance, and she shook her head gently after a long while.Ruan Yang said hello to this question in his heart.
Guan Hanshi: "You didn't even see the murderer who killed you, you really died unjustly."
Ruan Yang: "Where is your head?"
The woman shook her head quickly this time without any hesitation.
Ruan Yang: "Where's the body? Where's the hands and feet? I don't know where the other parts are?"
The woman still shook her head.
Ruan Yang put his hand on his chin: "This is a difficult situation. A fool who doesn't know anything may become an unsolved case."
Guan Hanshi: "The consciousness of the remnant soul is not complete. It may be that when the remnant soul becomes conscious, the original body has been dead for several days. Otherwise, how could it be delayed until this time to come to the door."
Ruan Yang raised his chin: "Hey, let's not talk about it, Mr. Yang has information about his wife. Well, what did Mr. Yang say."
According to his memory, Ruan Yang tried his best to reproduce what Mr. Yang said to himself in front of the window tonight: "She just quarreled with me at the time, and ran away from home in a fit of anger, and now she refuses to come back because of her The anger hasn't dissipated yet. When her anger dissipates, she will come back naturally."
After learning Mr. Yang's words, Ruan Yang spread his hands together: "Old Guan, look, isn't he coming back now? So, a husband and wife are a husband and wife, and the telepathy is still there."
Guan Hanshi said coldly: "If there is telepathy, then it won't be a child who wakes up in the middle of the night, but him."
Ruan Yang did not miss the loneliness in the eyes of the woman's head on the ground, as if he was digesting the words he heard.Ruan Yang thought for a while, and then asked: "There is one more question, can you remember where you were when you first became conscious?"
The woman's head stared at Ruan Yang and Guan Han, shaking her head slowly but firmly.
Ruan Yang's heart suddenly felt cold, he stood up, stretched his waist, and yawned big: "Okay, I'm done asking. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to sleep first."
Guan Hanshi: "Then what should she do?"
Ruan Yang was helpless: "What can I do? She doesn't remember anything, or else send it directly to Gao Fatty, please Gao Fatty, and give her relief?"
The woman's head became tense, and she shook her head desperately to express her resistance and displeasure.She came back after all the hardships, without any other purpose, just hoping to see her son Ranran again, even if Ranran couldn't see herself.
"Mr. Ruan, it's so cold, what are you doing here?"
The door behind Ruan Yang was suddenly opened, and Mr. Yang, who had been sleeping peacefully before, stood in the door frame in his pajamas, looking at the two of them strangely.
Ruan Yang acted cautiously and took a step aside, exposing the woman's head in Mr. Yang's line of sight, observing the changes in Mr. Yang's expression carefully.However, to Ruan Yang's surprise, Mr. Yang's facial expression remained unchanged, as if he couldn't see the existence of the woman's head on the ground at all.
Ruan Yang glanced at Guan Han, then put his hands in his trouser pockets, making the trouser pockets bulge up, making it hard to tell whether the trouser pockets were empty or filled.Ruan Yang smiled and said: "Maybe because he was a little sleepy, couldn't sleep, and became addicted to cigarettes again, so he dragged Lao Guan to smoke together, but he felt embarrassed to smoke at Mr. Yang's house, so he came out."
Mr. Yang smiled generously: "Mr. Ruan is too polite, I don't care. As long as you don't smoke in the bedroom, you can do anything else. It's late at night and the corridor is too cold, so come in, don't catch a cold, or it will be me It's not enough to entertain."
Ruan Yang nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll flick the cigarette ash."
At the moment when Guan Hanshi was talking nonsense in Ruan Yang's heart, he leisurely played with the lighter out of his pocket, and matched Ruan Yang's performance, playing the role of a close smoker.
Mr. Yang: "Okay, I'll go back to sleep first, and the two of you should go to bed early. I guess the rain will stop tomorrow morning."
The moment Mr. Yang turned and entered the room, Ruan Yang suddenly asked, "Mr. Yang, did you hear anything just now?"
After taking a few steps into the house, Mr. Yang stopped, turned his head, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's the sound?"
The corners of Ruan Yang's mouth curled up even more: "I didn't hear that. Mr. Yang's sleep quality must be very good."
Mr. Yang: "Mr. Ruan heard something?"
Ruan Yang: "It's nothing, it's just that the rain outside the window is too loud, tick tock, I thought it was a water leak at first."
Mr. Yang looked around the room and listened carefully: "Sorry, Mr. Ruan, maybe the sound insulation effect of the glass in the study is not very good. If Mr. Ruan doesn't mind, you can sleep in my room, and I will change it with you."
Ruan Yang quickly waved his hand: "Don't bother. There is no such voice now."
Mr. Yang still looked apologetic, and was about to say something more.Ruan Yang stopped his words: "It was the three of us who troubled Mr. Yang. If Mr. Yang does this again, we will really be ashamed to death."
Guan Han hurriedly put on a shameful face, disturbing Mr. Yang.
Mr. Yang can only say: "Okay, go to bed early."
Seeing that Mr. Yang closed the door again, Ruan Yang pulled Guan Hanshi to the safe stairwell.The woman followed behind with a bouncing head, and also reached the stairwell, at least she didn't need anyone's permission in the stairwell.
Ruan Yang peeked at the door of the house from the crack in the stairwell, and asked in an urgent voice: "Old Guan, tell me, will Mr. Yang scold us two crazy in his heart at this time?"
Guan Hanshi leaned against the wall with his arms folded: "Your words just now were too forced, it's normal for him to suspect."
Ruan Yang clapped his hands slowly: "Just to make him suspicious. The words just now were also testing him. Didn't you notice? He didn't see the wife he was thinking of at all."
The eyes of the woman's head dimmed a bit, lowered slightly, avoiding Ruan Yang and Guan Han's scrutiny.
Ruan Yang sighed lightly: "Oh, unconscious remnant souls are really tricky. Otherwise, we'll pay attention to social news recently to see when a headless corpse case will be reported, and compare it then."
Guan Hanshi glanced at Ruan Yang, saw that Ruan Yang was winking at him, and understood that he was putting pressure on the woman's head, forcing her to give some more clues.
Guan Hanshi cleared his throat: "A remnant soul is no better than a complete soul, and a headless corpse is hard to come by. If the murderer's methods are very clever, it will take a long time for the headless corpse to be discovered. The remnant soul has long since vanished into the world, or was swallowed up by other ghosts."
The woman's head suddenly lifted up, and when she stared at Guan Han, she looked at that scrutinizing gaze, as if she was judging the truthfulness of what Guan Han said and how much she trusted.
Ruan Yang stood aside, and when he heard Guan Hanshi's mouth say "you can't find it", the corners of his mouth twitched. He didn't quite understand Guan Hanshi's brain circuit, how could he come up with this word and use it here Come.But when he saw the seriousness of the eyes on the woman's head, he didn't bother to care about these details.
Ruan Yang asked: "The identity of the murderer, the method of death, the location of the body, in order, nod as many times as you know."
Ruan Yang suddenly felt that he was like a mobile customer service staff, the kind who read "Press one for phone bill inquiries, press two for discount inquiries".
While Ruan Yang and Guan Hanshi were waiting, the woman's head slowly nodded once, twice, and three times.Before the fireworks of hope bloomed in Ruan Yang's heart, he heard the elevator "ding dong" in the quiet corridor.
Ruan Yang was wondering, in the middle of the night, the buildings here have two households per elevator.Who would this night shift visitor be?
Ruan Yang slightly opened the door of the safe passage with his hands, and looked towards the elevator, feeling as if he had been shocked by an electric shock.After opening his mouth slightly for a long time, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "My darling, Lao Guan, you should go and drag Pei Papi out. The perfect combination of technology and art he talked about has come to you."
Guan Han was taken aback for a moment, stepped over to the door of the safe passage, and looked towards the elevator.
Before the elevator door was closed, the lights in the elevator were cast into the dim corridor, illuminating the people standing in the elevator.Well, that's actually not accurate.The headless horseman in the elevator is riding on a black steed, majestic and majestic.Because the horse is a bit tall, only the headless horseman's feet to waist and abdomen are exposed.
Ruan Yang felt a chill in his calf, looked down, and saw a woman's head squeezed over at some point, passed through Ruan Yang's calf, and squeezed into the crack of the door to watch, her eyes were a little excited, and her mouth was screaming silently What.
Ruan Yang slipped his leg, passed between the woman's head, and said in a low voice, "Don't go out yet."
The black horse in the elevator is very spiritual. It bends its front legs slightly and leans out of the elevator.The headless horseman holding the knight's sword came out of the elevator smoothly, casting a long and strange shadow on the ground.
Guan Hanshi: "No, the house is not closed."
Ruan Yang looked at the door which was only a few meters away from the elevator, and his heart couldn't help but lift up.Looking at the headless horseman who appeared like a ghost in the middle of the night, the purpose seems to be very clear, that is to go to Mr. Yang's house.
No!
Don't let the Headless Horseman in!
Ruan Yang didn't have time to discuss with Guan Hanshi, so he suddenly opened the door of the safe passage, and whistled loudly at the Headless Horseman: "Hey, don't you see anyone here? Oh, it's my fault, I looked You have no brains."
The black steed was the first to react, and turned back and rushed towards the direction of the safe passage.
Ruan Yang didn't have time to complain, and was about to pull Guan Hanshi to run away, but when he looked sideways, Guan Hanshi was more responsive than him, so he ran upstairs.Followed by a woman's head, without hands and feet, she ran for her life but was unambiguous at all, jumping up and down three steps.
Ruan Yang cursed in a low voice: "Fuck! No heart, no loyalty!" He also ran upstairs.
As soon as he left the door of the safe passage, the door was knocked open by a black horse, and two trash cans were also knocked out one after another, rolling downstairs with a "bang bang bang bang".The loud noise echoed in the silent stairwell.
Ruan Yang felt relieved, the escape route that Guan Han chose out of desperation was correct, running upstairs was obviously much more difficult for Ma.Unexpectedly, when he turned the corner, he saw that the headless horseman got off his horse and chased after him holding up the sharp knight sword.
Ruan Yang strode across three steps, dodging the knight's sword that was cutting directly at him.The knight's sword slashed on the metal railing, hitting a series of golden sparks, startled Ruan Yang hurriedly grabbed the metal railing beside him, kicked up his legs, flipped up, and turned directly to the stairs on the upper floor.
Seeing Ruan Yang, who was originally behind him, suddenly jumping in front of him, Guan Hanshi's gaze on Ruan Yang was indescribable.
At the critical moment, Ruan Yang still had time to tease: "I'm sorry, let's go first."
Before he finished speaking, he grabbed Guan Hanshi's shoulder and swung it aside.
"clang--"
The knight's sword hit Guan Han on the steps where he was standing.The steps fell apart cleanly.
The Headless Horseman stepped on it indifferently, and a big footprint was deeply sunken on the torn steps.
Ruan Yang "tsk tut" twice, and continued to run, but he didn't forget to turn around and say: "Female strong man, you are beyond the reach of male generals."
Guan Hanshi followed closely behind: "What should we do now?"
Ruan Yang heard the whirring air blowing past his ears, stepped up the steps in three steps at a time, and asked, "Is it still raining outside?"
Guan Hanshi didn't know why Ruan Yang asked this suddenly: "You don't want to get this guy out in the rain, do you? This guy is fully armed and armored, we can't carry it."
Ruan Yang curled his lips: "Didn't you notice? There is no water on this guy, not even the horse's hair is wet."
When Ruan Yang said this, a light flashed in Guan Hanshi's mind: "This guy didn't come from outside, he was originally in this building."
Ruan Yang: "Maybe, that house in this building is this guy's lair."
Guan Hanshi: "Hurry up, I'm about to catch up."
Ruan Yang: "Hey, what about that ghost?"
Guan Hanshi: "What the hell do you care about at this time, run quickly! Hurry up!"
Ruan Yang kicked open the door of the safe passage, intending to take the elevator down before the headless horseman caught up.The Headless Horseman can't run out of strength, but he and Guan Hanshi can't.
However, God always wants to make a joke at critical moments.
The elevator actually stopped on the first floor.This is the 32nd floor, no matter how fast the elevator is, it can't be faster than the sound of iron armor that is getting closer.Ruan Yang directly gave up on this path, went to a door and picked the lock.
Guan Han was dumbfounded as he watched Ruan Yang open the lock with just a paper clip. Hearing the sound of iron armor behind him, he didn't have time to praise Ruan Yang's lockpicking skills, so he pushed hard and squeezed through the door.He slammed the door shut with his hand back.
Guan Hanshi and Ruan Yang leaned against the door panel, panting heavily, looked at each other, and whispered: "Exciting!"
Strangely, the Headless Horseman chased to the door, stopped suddenly, stood quietly for a few seconds, turned around and left.Ruan Yang put his ear on the back of the door, confirmed that the headless horseman had left the door, walked to the stairwell, and heaved a long sigh of relief at the sound of descending the steps.
Ruan Yang: "I might be okay with ghosts. I can't really deal with this guy who is neither human nor ghost."
Guan Hanshi frowned and lowered his head, as if he didn't hear Ruan Yang's words.
Guan Han said, "Have you ever heard of an experience?"
Ruan Yang: "What experience? The experience of escaping from a tiger's mouth?"
Guan Han rolled his eyes at Ruan Yang: "Once upon a time there was a mountain..."
Ruan Yang took it smoothly: "Is there a temple in the mountain?"
Guan Hanshi couldn't bear it anymore: "Don't interrupt me! Once upon a time there was a mountain with dense forests and wild beasts infested it. A man who went up the mountain to cut wood met a poisonous snake, and was chased by the poisonous snake to escape. He fled to a cave, but the poisonous snake retreated by itself. Crawled away. The woodcutter was thankful that he had escaped the fate of being bitten by a poisonous snake. He was about to climb out of the cave, but he felt a warm airflow behind him. Looking back, he saw a big spotted tiger lying on his back. behind."
Ruan Yang: "You've said such a long paragraph, but it can be summed up in one sentence. The ferocious departure is not because he suddenly loses interest in the prey, but because there are more ferocious things."
As soon as they finished speaking, their bodies shook at the same time, yes, this experience is so similar to their current situation.Moreover, why did the two people make such a big noise picking the lock, the owner of the house was not disturbed?
Ruan Yang and Guan Han silently turned their heads together, looking at the room they fled into just now in a panic.
"what--"
Just as the two screamed in fright at the same time, their mouths were covered by the other's palm at the same time.
In the dark room, there were two fully clothed people standing on both sides of the hallway. Only the outline of the clothes could be seen clearly, but the eyes of the two people were like glass, shining in the darkness.
The two faced the two on both sides of the hallway, neither of them would make a move first, so they stood face to face for a few minutes.Under Guan Hanshi's palm, Ruan Yang gently asked the question in his heart: "These two people seem to be motionless."
After being reminded by Ruan Yang, Guan Han also noticed it, and moved slightly to the side, but the other party remained motionless.The body moved back a little more, but the other party remained motionless.
Guan Hanshi took out the phone from his trouser pocket and pressed the screen to turn on.The screen of the mobile phone shined on the two people who had been looking at him without moving since Ruan Yang and the two broke in.My heart skipped a beat.
Glass ball eyes, skin-colored cheeks, blood-red lips, two slits on both sides of the mouth to the chin, and a slit on the palm exposed outside the clothes, whether it is the wrist or the knuckles of the fingers.A real person looks like a puppet that is as tall as a real person.
Ruan Yang narrowed his eyes, broke free from the palm of Guan Hanshi's hand, and at the same time let go of the hand covering Guan Hanshi's mouth: "Why is there someone who puts these two things at home and acts as a door god?"
Guan Hanshi didn't comment on his personal life hobbies, followed by the bright light of the mobile phone screen, looked into the living room, and found many figures.
Ruan Yang walked in quietly, and there were several life-sized dolls sitting on the sofa in the living room.Some were drinking tea, some were pouring water, some had one hand in their mouth and some melon seeds in the other.The whole picture is like a daily life segment where the pause button was suddenly pressed, and all the people kept their postures at that time and continued to move.
On this night of being hunted down for no reason, and inadvertently breaking into such a weird house, Ruan Yang began to feel nervous.Normal people wouldn't have so many dolls in their homes, right? It's not...
Wait.
Ruan Yang heard what Mr. Yang said.
"I heard that many of the works in it were produced by a Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang was a famous puppeteer when he was young and lived in Victoria Bay, but he was very low-key and no one had ever seen him. "
Ruan Yang didn't know how to describe his current chaotic thoughts. First, he was chased and killed by the headless horseman who suddenly appeared, and now he broke into the house of a low-key and mysterious puppeteer whom no one had ever seen.I don't know if the Headless Horseman will still be waiting in the stairwell. Are you going to be with a room full of weird dolls tonight?
Guan Hanshi was at the entrance, hesitated for a few seconds, and then followed Ruan Yang into the living room on tiptoe.
Ruan Yang asked in a low voice, "Send Pei Papi a WeChat message to make sure they are safe."
Guan Hanshi's fingers typed quickly on the screen.Ruan Yang noticed with sharp eyes that Guan Hanshi had set Pei Sheng's WeChat dialog box to the top chat.
The phone blinked silently.
Guan Hanshi opened his fingers and whispered to Ruan Yang, "They're fine. I told them not to open the door."
Ruan Yang stroked his chin: "It seems that the Headless Horseman will not recklessly break into other people's homes for the time being."
Guan Hanshi: "I just don't know if we will run into each other again when we go down now."
Ruan Yang looked at the room full of dozens of puppets, and the corner of his mouth twitched.It seemed that they were lucky, the puppeteer surnamed Wang whose dragon was missing was not at home.Ruan Yang intends to selectively ignore these puppets and borrow his treasure land to stay for a while longer.
Ruan Yang stared at the motionless puppet in the dark, and made a suggestion: "Anyway, it's here, let's take a look around?"
Guan Hanshi was more disciplined than Ruan Yang, and his face showed embarrassment.
Ruan Yang urged again: "Anyway, we have already entered, ten steps are also taken, and a hundred steps are also taken. We also enter the living room and enter the room. Let's just walk through it all."
When Guan Hanshi followed Ruan Yang's footsteps and walked to the door of what seemed to be a studio, he didn't react much, how he was bewitched by Ruan Yang's fallacies.
The studio door was left open.Ruan Yang took a look with his probe and felt that the furnishings in the studio were amazing.If the porch and the living room are the display areas for the puppeteer's works, then this studio is the artificial assembly line production area.
The puppeteer surnamed Wang opened up two large rooms and made it a studio.A row of life-size dolls are neatly displayed on the two walls.There are men and women, old and young, depending on the clothing decoration, they should belong to different occupations and different living classes.At least in Ruan Yang's eyes, he saw cleaners, homeless people, and white-collar workers.
Guan Hanshi stood on the other side and whispered: "Come here quickly."
Ruan Yang walked over and saw three large glass jars displayed in the glass cabinet, which contained glass eyes, ears, and noses by category, immersed in transparent liquid.
It's not that I haven't seen human organs, but in this weird atmosphere, looking at the specimens soaked in formalin liquid in the medical school, my stomach feels a little churn.
Ruan Yang took a deep breath, calmed down his fluctuating emotions, and rubbed his temples: "I work with these things all day, and the puppeteer is also a genius."
Guan Hanshi stared at the eyes, ears, and nose in the glass jar, without speaking.
Ruan Yang walked to the side and saw a large white cloth covering a shelf.Ruan Yang lightly lifted a corner of the white cloth, bent down to look up, and jumped back in shock for a moment, almost missing Guan Hanshi.
Guan Hanshi held on to the glass cabinet and cast an inquiring look at Ruan Yang.
Ruan Yang grabbed Guan Hanshi's arm, vigorously lifted the white cloth, and a row of heads were neatly displayed on the shelf, with different appearances.Guan Hanshi glanced over, there were old wrinkled old men, young men with smiles on their lips, and...
Guan Hanshi's pupils constricted suddenly, and he suddenly understood why Ruan Yang was so frightened, even the hand holding his arm was cold.
There is also a woman's head on display on the shelf. The appearance and facial features are exactly the same as Ranran's mother who kept knocking on the door not long ago.
Guan Hanshi reached out and lightly touched the skin on the woman's cheek, and forgot to glance at Ruan Yang in surprise: "The skin is still very elastic...people who have been dead for many days...should No way......"
Ruan Yang murmured: "Old Guan, you have been in the Taoist family a lot, so you should know that this kind of thing is not impossible."
Guan Hanshi frowned: "However, I have never heard of using a living person or corpse as a doll."
Ruan Yang pointed to the head in front of him, then pointed to the three glass bottles containing eyes, ears, and noses in the glass cabinet: "Don't you gain insight now?"
Guan Hanshi couldn't help recalling the tactile sensation when his fingers touched the head before, although he kept wanting to deny it in his mind, he couldn't deceive himself in his heart.This kind of real-life touch is a level that modern technology has not yet achieved.
There are many sects of Taoism, and each sect has developed for many years, and basically has some unique forbidden techniques, which cannot be taught by outsiders.In the past, the master had vaguely mentioned the forbidden technique of paper-cutting, which really surprised Guan Hanshi. No wonder he was ordered by the patriarch to prohibit the younger disciples from studying it.
And now, have they encountered forbidden techniques from other sects...
The torrential rain outside the window was still falling, and the raindrops hit the glass window with a "crackling" sound.The lightning and thunder that stopped suddenly started again.Bright lightning pierced the night sky and leaked into this terrifying puppet studio, briefly illuminating the interior of the studio.
The life-size dolls, the glass bottles with eyes, ears, and noses, and the heads displayed on the shelves all made Ruan Yang and Guan Han, who were surrounded in the middle, shiver from the back of their necks to their backs. , A layer of goose bumps crawled from scalp to toes.
If these were puppets made by real people, how many people would the puppet master surnamed Wang have killed?
Ruan Yang didn't dare to go deep, so he could only urge Guan Hanshi to take a few photos with his mobile phone, both close-up and distant, and push Guan Hanshi out of the studio.In a room with so many dead people, there must be a lot of yin and resentment.No wonder when I first entered this house, I felt a little gloomy, and I thought it was because of the rainy night and the cold sky. It turns out...
Ruan Yang and Guan Hanshi, no one noticed, the moment they stepped out of the studio, a puppet standing in the corner suddenly opened its eyes, staring at the figures of Ruan Yang and Guan Hanshi, with a gloomy look on the corners of its mouth. A treacherous smile.
Ruan Yang walked into the living room, and the dolls who felt a little uncomfortable at first suddenly became eerie, as if every doll who was doing their own business was looking at the unexpected guest who broke in at night from the corner of their eyes.
Guan Hanshi pretended to be relaxed, and rarely joked: "You are really lucky. There are so many houses to choose from, but you have to choose this... um... .”
Ruan Yang responded unceremoniously: "There are two households in one ladder, either this one or the one next door, the probability of one-half is high enough. Besides, why don't you know the difference between the one next door and the one now? Don't the sets have the same owner?"
Ruan Yang paused, and then said: "And, shouldn't we be glad that the owner of the house is not at home now?"
Guan Hanshi thought about it, if the moment they came in, they were killing people like hemp, and even the puppeteer surnamed Wang with an assembly line scale was right behind them, they really wanted to cry before it was too late.
Ruan Yang leaned against a clean wall, thought for a while and said, "When I was sleeping in the study tonight, I also heard some sounds. It's just different from the knocking on the door you heard. What I heard was a There was a dull bang bang bang, like someone was banging on the ceiling."
Guan Hanshi stopped in front of Ruan Yang: "You mean, this bang bang bang might be a distress signal from the person captured by the puppeteer named Wang?"
Ruan Yang added: "And later, I saw a woman's face on the ceiling, and the facial features were not very clear."
Guan Hanshi: "What about the back?"
Ruan Yang: "After you broke in, she disappeared."
Guan Hanshi: "..."
It can't be my fault, can it?Guan Han thought to himself.
Ruan Yang glanced between the living room and the studio, and the more he looked, the clearer his doubts became.When he asked Guan Han: "Look, is there anything wrong?"
Guan Hanshi looked at it for a long time, but didn't see anything, and looked at Ruan Yang suspiciously.
Ruan Yang compared a length to him with his hands, and compared a shorter length with his hands.
Guan Han instantly understood Ruan Yang's thoughts and said, "The length is wrong."
Talking to smart people is more efficient, Ruan Yang thought, if it was Pei Sheng standing in front of him at this time, Pei Sheng would probably just stare and say, "There are more dolls, and there are fewer dolls."
The apartment types in the same location of this building are the same, but the combined length of the studio and the living room is much shorter than the length of Mr. Yang's house.Developers will not make such low-level mistakes, otherwise, the floor can be seen at a glance.
Ruan Yang guessed that there must be secret rooms in other places in this house, hiding even more ulterior motives.
Ruan Yang gestured to Guan Hanshi: "It's getting late, let's look separately."
Guan Hanshi and Ruan Yang started from the left and the other from the right, groping around the wall.
Ruan Yang carefully avoided the doll, and touched the wall for a long time, but to no avail, then touched the wine bottles one by one on the wine cabinet near the wall.Ruan Yang finally touched a small bump that could be twisted, and was overjoyed.
The white wall in front of him suddenly and soundlessly opened inwards.
When Ruan Yang was about to turn his head to call Guan Han, he was suddenly pushed into the wall by a force.
