The Demon and the Puppeteer

On the rooftop more than ten meters high, the wind was blowing coldly, and the open windbreaker was blown wildly. The sky was dark red and seemed to be pressed down. It was late at night, but the sky showed such an ominous color.

Han Qian squatted on the edge of the roof without guardrails, looking down at the dizzying concrete floor.He was smoking cigarettes one by one, his feet were covered with cigarette butts, and the cigarette in his hand gave off a faint red light from time to time.

He didn't know what he was suppressing, he just felt extremely bored, and he had to do something to relieve it, whether it was beauty, wine or cigarettes.

Unknowingly, there was a person standing beside him, a thin silhouette, staring at him for a long time, squatting down and snatching the cigarette in his hand, his voice was thin and empty: "You promised me to quit smoking."

"Really, sorry, I'm addicted, and I can't quit." Han Qian took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, picked out one, and lit it.

"Smoking is bad for your eyes." The man's voice was very soft, and he took the cigarette from Han Qian's hand again.

"You control too much!" The anger was strangely uncontrollable, Han Qian stood up and pushed the man.

The man staggered, shrugged his shoulders, watched Han Qian light another cigarette, mustered up the courage to rush to him to take it away again, Han Qian looked at one side, the man didn't stand still for a while, and turned towards the void On one side, it fell off the roof...

Han Qian woke up instantly, covered in cold sweat.

I didn't expect to dream of him, it was such an unpleasant dream.

"Tu Tuk." The knock on the door suddenly sounded, not light or heavy, and it sounded again after a few seconds, "Tu Tuk."

Han Qian looked at the alarm clock, it was ten past three in the morning.

Ah Huang suddenly ran to the door and yelled crazily against the crack of the door.

It's so late, who is it?

Han Qian looked through the cat's eyes—the visitor was dressed in a sweater and trousers, and stood cautiously with his head slightly lowered. After waiting for a few seconds, the person raised his head to knock on the door again, and the door opened.

Ah Huang rushed up and rubbed against his legs, wagging his tail cheerfully.

He knelt down and rubbed Ah Huang's head, then raised his head to look at Han Qian for a while, with puppy-like timid and soft eyes, his voice was a little stiff: "I'm back."

"……Welcome back."

------------------------------------------------

At [-]:[-] in the morning, Xue Yanshi received a message: "Instant Mian Liu" is dead, and the murderer is fleeing towards Shengmen.

Originally, "Instant Noodle Liu" was just an insignificant little person. If he died, he would die. Just kill the person who killed him, so as not to damage the prestige of ghosts and creatures. "Mian Liu" suddenly bypassed his boss and directly contacted Xue Yanshi, which made Xue Yanshi pay more attention to the matter of "Instant Mian Liu".

Two weeks ago, the death of Lu Tiange caused waves all over the country, and Xianyuan Puppet suffered a reputation crisis. Han Qian explained in the media, reminding people related to the puppet prototype to pay attention to safety.

From "Instant Noodle Liu"'s point of view, Han Qian's words were aimed at him, a blatant threat.

"Instant noodle Liu" killed Cheng Lang is a trial of ghosts, his superiors only asked him to kill a man, "Instant noodle Liu" picked Cheng Lang, they used to work in the same hotel, Cheng Lang is indeed a very good man A bully, cowardly and cowardly, with no relatives or friends around him. Although he was Han Qian's lover, after his observation, Cheng Lang was just a dispensable person to Han Qian who would be abandoned at any time, so he killed him. Cheng Lang didn't hesitate when he took all his money, but he didn't expect that Han Qian had feelings for Cheng Lang. After that, "Instant Noodle Liu" could sense that someone was secretly investigating him, and when he went back to investigate When, the source is Han Qian.

The Han family has a special meaning to the ghosts, everyone in the ghosts knows it, and "Instant Mian Liu" naturally knows, he believes that Lu Tiange was killed by a puppet made by the Han family, and this puppet is coming to kill him, "Instant Mian Liu "Afraid of death, so he approached Xue Yanshi and asked Xue Yanshi to send someone to protect him.

He knew that Xue Yanshi would not refuse.Han Yi disappeared for more than two months, and within these two months, there were sudden murders by puppets, three in a row, enough to attract Xue Yanshi's attention.Puppets have been synonymous with the Han family since ancient times, and the Seven Realms War 500 years ago tied the blood of the Han family together with the immortal stone. Xue Yanshi wanted to get the power of the immortal stone so much, there is no reason for the puppet of the Han family to kill him. Xue Yanshi would just sit back and watch ignore.

Xue Yanshi did send two B-level killers to protect him, but Xue Yanshi obviously underestimated the puppet's ability and let it escape. The puppet who was shot and continued to move towards him thought so, I should have found a Taoist priest to protect me.

After Xue Yanshi got the news, he teleported to the Shengmen in the Eight Diagrams Formation. The puppet was entangled with several ropes to restrict its movement, but the puppet was so powerful that it was very difficult for everyone to restrain it. Yan Shi glanced at them, everyone relaxed slightly, the puppet immediately broke free, ran out of the life gate, and directly broke through the ground.

Xue Yanshi followed quietly.

At 01:30 in the morning, the night was late and cold, and the air under the moonlight took on a gray form. It seemed to be a mist. In the mist, a small amusement park that should have been silent in such a late night came out. music--

"My nickname is Da Ya,"

"There are big watermelons growing at home."

"Big watermelon, big watermelon,"

"Our whole family loves it."

"One scoop, two scoops, three scoops, four scoops, five scoops, six scoops, seven scoops, and eight scoops,"

"Ah, ah, ah, my stomach is like a big watermelon."

"My nickname is Erya,"

"There are big watermelons growing at home."

"Big watermelon, big watermelon,"

"Our whole family loves it."

"One scoop, two scoops, three scoops, four scoops, five scoops, six scoops, seven scoops, and eight scoops,"

"Ah, ah, ah, my stomach is like a big watermelon."

"My nickname is Sanya,"

"There are big watermelons growing at home."

"Big watermelon, big watermelon,"

"Our whole family loves it."

"One scoop, two scoops, three scoops, four scoops, five scoops, six scoops, seven scoops, and eight scoops,"

"Ah, ah, ah, my stomach is like a big watermelon."

"My nickname is Siya,"

"There are big watermelons growing at home."

"Big watermelon, big watermelon,"

"Our whole family loves it."

"Eldest sister eats, second sister eats, second sister eats, third sister eats, it's my turn to finish eating,"

"Ah, ah, then I have to eat people."

"Don't run away, don't run away, I just want to eat a big watermelon, the big watermelon is still in your stomach, I also want to have a stomach like a big watermelon."

Ignoring the weird lyrics, the rhythm of this song is very cheerful, as catchy as a nursery rhyme, the carousel emits dark blue and red lights, and the undulating wooden horse turns around three people one after another. First, one person stands on the painted blue wooden horse , opened her arms, and sang along to the music excitedly, she looked like a young woman in her early twenties; the one in the middle was sitting on a pitch-white wooden horse, with a dull expression, as if she had lived enough, but her face was He was a teenage boy; the last one was leaning tightly on the painted yellow wooden horse, feeling as if he was about to fall off the next moment, with a thin body and about [-] in appearance.

There is a bench next to the carousel, a man and a woman are sitting on the bench, beside the bench is a bright decorative lamp, under the light, a refined man who is nearly forty years old is hugging a beautiful woman in her 30s who is wearing gorgeous clothes Man, the woman leaned on the man's shoulder obediently, like a loving couple.

Xue Yanshi followed the puppet who killed "Instant Noodle Liu" and saw such a scene, which was unusual—there seemed to be five people present, but he only felt the breath of two people.

Could it be that the other "people" are all puppets?Xue Yanshi held his breath and hid in the bushes behind the bench.

The puppet quickly came to the man sitting on the bench, the man nodded with a smile, and stood up, while the woman leaning on his shoulder straightened her neck stiffly, staring blankly at the void.

"Okay, kids." The elegant man pointed towards the carousel with a gentle tone, "Have you played enough?"

As soon as the words fell, the merry-go-round horse stopped spinning, and the music stopped abruptly. In an instant, the playground returned to its proper calm. The boy sitting on the white wooden horse in the middle came down first, smoothed the tiny wrinkles on his pants, and met the man's gaze Pulling the corner of his mouth: "It's not interesting."

Then the young woman standing on the blue wooden horse jumped off the wooden horse, leaning her hands behind her head with a happy expression: "It's quite to my taste."

The thin man lying on the yellow wooden horse hugged the wooden horse tightly while trying to let his feet touch the ground as much as possible, and then he came down carefully. As soon as he got off, his face regained his haughty expression, facing the young man who came down in front of him. The woman sarcastically said with a half-smile: "Yes, it suits your taste quite well. My slave said that girls like to play this game."

"Who do you think is a woman?" The young woman who had a cheerful expression was immediately annoyed, and picked up the thin man who was smiling but not smiling with one hand, her black eyes glowed coldly.

"Tsk, you still don't want to admit that you are a woman..."

Seeing that the two were arguing, the man's gentle voice sounded, which seemed to have the power to comfort people's hearts: "Stop making trouble, it's time to get down to business." Then the man looked at the puppet that Xue Yanshi was following, "Fu Shi, you go first!" Bar."

The puppet called Fushiya nodded and left quickly.

Xue Yanshi was hesitating whether to go after Fushi, or stay here to observe the remaining five strange people, but without any warning, a person suddenly appeared in front of him, it was the dull-looking young man who was sitting on the white wooden horse before, Xue Yanshi Surprised, he really didn't notice any aura, and when he secretly accumulated karmic fire in his palm, a woman's laughter suddenly came from the left back of his body: "Yehuo, let's make an axe." Xue Yanshi looked at the young man in surprise The woman, I saw that the woman's ten fingers were jumping with ice-cold blue karma flames, the power contained in the flames shocked Xue Yanshi.Xue Yanshi began to feel fear and wanted to run away, but behind him on the right side, a thin 30-year-old man looked at him with a half-smile, holding a whisk in his hand, and he was invulnerable.

The three surrounded Xue Yanshi, and Xue Yanshi couldn't find a breakthrough. When he was anxious, the man who seemed to be the leader walked slowly with his arms around the beautiful woman who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and his tone was quite kind: "You run away It won't fall."

As they got closer, Xue Yanshi could deeply feel the aura of the leading man and woman as "human beings". He didn't understand how powerful the three surrounding him were, and why they followed this ordinary human being.Xue Yanshi stared at the leading man, and asked his most perplexing question: "Who are you?"

"I'm……"

Xue Yanshi listened with bated breath, but the man's whole demeanor suddenly changed, the originally gentle eyebrows and eyes suddenly became sullen, and the beautiful woman beside the man flinched, moved away from the man, and looked blankly at the void.

"You'll soon find out..."

Accompanied by the man's gloomy words, Xue Yanshi's consciousness fell into darkness...
