The strange case of the demon book

? There was a little change in the gossip array, and Zhang Jue in Zhang's house felt it.The things that can be called evil in Guangzhou City now are probably the evil spirits enshrined by the Lingma.Could it be that the lingpo wants those evil spirits to break through the gossip formation, but the change is fleeting and calm again.Zhang Jue believed that the Lingma would not do this, because Zhang Jue knew the current state of the Lingma through Huo Wencai's body.The Lingma is not in a very good condition now, and will be backlashed by the evil spirits she enshrines at any time.So if you want to release all the evil spirits, the Lingma will only die.Moreover, if one of them cannot be controlled, the gossip array will be destroyed, and the fate of Guangzhou City may be even more tragic than the zombie attack.

Don't know what's going on outside...

It was around two o'clock in the morning when Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui got up, and Huo Wencai touched something, which was a doll.After returning to the red room, it turned out to be a puppet with a broken arm.This puppet is so delicate and beautiful that you can't put it down.

"Where did it come from? It's quite beautiful."

"I just touched it where we were sleeping, and I don't know who threw it on my face." Huo Wencai said.

"Find a piece of wood and repair it to make it work. Let's go, let's go back."

As a result, the two ended their evening shifts ahead of schedule.

After returning to the Taoist house, Huo Wen put the puppet with the missing arm on the window sill and packed himself up to sleep.After Huo Wencai fell asleep, a dark red light from the red lantern hanging on the window shot into the body of the puppet. The puppet moved slightly. He spread his remaining arm and looked at it, seemed satisfied, and then recovered. The original posture immediately leaned against the window without moving.

The next day, after Huo Wencai woke up, he took the broken doll with him when he went to the Town God's Temple to sell tea.After arriving at the Town God's Temple, Shitong and the others had already arrived. Ma Wenrui helped spread out the stall, and Huo Wencai sat on a small stool and used tools borrowed from other stall owners to make new arms for the puppet.

It is also the first time for Huo Wencai to make this thing, but there is a master who sells puppets in the Town God's Temple, so Huo Wencai asked for advice a few times, but he made the puppet's arms in a decent way——

It's just that this shabby arm doesn't really match the doll.Huo Wencai grabbed the clothes on the doll, and the torn place couldn't cover the arm that was just put on.Huo Wencai then asked the aunt who sold sewing kits opposite for a piece of white cloth to sew on.

Ma Wenrui smiled and watched Huo Wencai playing with the doll. Although the doll was exquisite and beautiful, in Ma Wenrui's eyes, it was just for children to play with.

Huo Wen made it up and helped his forehead.I sewed it by myself. It was really ugly. In the end, I asked the aunt who sold the sewing kit to do it. Although the color blocks are different, they are similar.

After finishing it, I really can't see the embarrassment of the puppet before I picked it up.

Huo Wen didn't know why, but he just liked this doll.Ke Ke looked greedy, so Huo Wen gave the doll to Ke Ke to play with.Coco was happy to receive it.While Ke Ke was having fun with the dolls, the Temple of the City God suddenly gathered around the city.Ke Ke put the doll on his little stool and followed to join in the fun. After knowing that Ke Ke had left, the doll quietly jumped off Ke Ke's chair and ran to Huo Wencai's stall to lie down.Huo Wencai was chatting with Ma Wenrui, and when he found the doll lying on his stall, he thought it was sent back by Ke Ke.

"What are the people in front doing? It's so lively." Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui stretched their necks.

Ma Wenrui clapped his hands: "I'll go over and have a look, you help me watch the stall."

"Hello—" as soon as Huo Wen opened his mouth, Ma Wenrui squeezed in.

After Ma Wenrui squeezed in, he found that a strange clown with weird clothes and exaggerated paintings was performing with balls of various colors, and the people onlookers cheered loudly.Even the children screamed with excitement.

Ma Wenrui watched it with relish for a while and then withdrew.Before returning to the stall, Ma Wenrui told Huo Wencai about the clown performing there.First a magician last night, and now a weird clown.What is the purpose of these circuses?

Huo Wencai felt a little weird in his heart, but he couldn't find the reason.

In the next few days, people from the puppet circus frequently appeared on the streets in various parts of Guangzhou City.Their existence has brought the people of Guangzhou City a lot of talk after dinner.About the behavior of this circus and the expressions after half a month spread all over the streets and alleys of Guangzhou City, because they all knew in advance that they could only watch the performance with an invitation letter, so many people would follow the street performance of the circus.

So no matter where you go, you can hear people talking about the circus.

Zhang Jue was walking on the street. A woman with brown hair and blue eyes stopped Zhang Jue and handed the invitation letter to Zhang Jue. Zhang Jue accepted it with a smile, "I will definitely be there then."

The brown-haired, blue-eyed female animal trainer blew a kiss to Zhang Jue, "Waiting for your visit." Then she left.

Not only Zhang Jue, Cantonese businessmen, but also officials and nobles.All the powerful and influential people in Guangzhou City received invitation letters.When Huo Wen first heard the hour, Huo Wen was stunned for a moment.The sense of disobedience intensified.

Huo Wen was playing with the doll in his hand. When he came out to work, he couldn't remember when he put the doll in his pocket. He didn't have the slightest impression.

"Look at this newspaper. The performance venue of the puppet circus has been confirmed. Ma Wenrui handed the newspaper to Huo Wencai, and Huo Wencai took it and saw that it was in Haizhu Theater.

There are three major theaters in Guangzhou City: Leshan Theatre, Haizhu Theatre, and Guangqing Theatre.Guangqing Theater came from behind. In terms of history, it should belong to Haizhu Theater.Haizhu Theater was formerly known as Tongqing Theatre, and because Haizhu Theater is close to the Yuejiang River and on the North Shore Road, it is comparable to Leshan Theater.

Knowing where to perform, Ma Wenrui and Huo Wen took advantage of midnight to go to Haizhu Theater to explore the route and go in to watch it.Huo Wencai stuffed the doll into his pocket and went to Haizhu Theater.When we arrived at the north bank of the Yuejiang River, the boats in the Yuejiang River stood quietly on the river.The people on the boat fell asleep and waited for the new day to continue to work hard for their lives.

At this point in time, the shows at the Haizhu Theater had long since ended.Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui groped for a while, and they really found a way in.

The two entered the acting hall of the Haizhu Theater, and Ma Wenrui grinned and said, "It's really big inside."

"This is one of the best theaters in Guangzhou City." Huo Wencai said.

"On that day, all the celebrities in Guangzhou City will come here." He put his hand on the chair, and then exclaimed: "Ah!"

"What's wrong?" As soon as Huo Wencai finished speaking, the stage of Haizhu Theater lit up.

Through the light, Ma Wenrui saw that what he touched with his hand resting on the armrest was a snake coiled on the chair and spitting out messages to him.The blond woman on the stage gave them a charming smile, said something in foreign language and whistled, and the snake swam around and hung on the woman on the stage.The woman walked towards them with the thick snake coiled around her neck.Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui immediately looked at the woman in front of them warily.

"Gentlemen, good evening. I am Arnold Sharana, the animal trainer of the Puppet Circus. It is your misfortune to be an intruder." After the woman finished speaking, a giant snake attacked them in the darkness.Huo Wencai grabbed Ma Wenrui and threw it aside, then raised his foot and kicked the giant snake hard on the head.The animal trainer screamed: "Oh! My God! My little baby!" Obviously she didn't expect to kick the iron plate.

"Go!" Huo Wencai grabbed Ma Wenrui and escaped from Haizhu Theater.

"Stop them!" Arnold Sharna screamed angrily.

"Hiss——" A wave of snakes swam towards them behind them, and Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui's scalps felt numb when they saw it.The two jumped out of the Haizhu Theater and ran for a while before they escaped from the chase of the group of snakes.

"Oh~ what's the matter with that woman. Is this trying to kill us all?" Ma Wenrui was panting.

"The people in the circus are very evil, let's go, let's go back first." Huo Wen then took Ma Wenrui back.

In the Haizhu Theater, Sharana Arnold stroked the giant snake's head distressedly.After checking it out, it was fine to send out the giant snake and sneered: "I will make them pay the price."

Nine days until the Puppet Circus show.Chen Suisheng, who received the invitation letter from the Puppet Circus, went to the Cantonese Merchants Guild Hall, where the Cantonese Merchants argued fiercely.Like Chen Suisheng, every Cantonese businessman received an invitation letter.The Cantonese businessmen who can make Guangzhou peacefully independent are very shrewd. This puppet circus appeared a bit weird in their eyes. After analyzing the matter, everyone gasped.As for whether to go or not to go on that day, it all depends on the decision of the Cantonese businessmen.

Chen Suisheng sipped tea leisurely and listened to the Cantonese businessmen's endless debate. Not to mention such a thing, the Cantonese businessmen might have discovered something abnormal in the police department.

After we parted, Chen Suisheng went to the police station to look for Wei Zong.After talking with Wei Zong, Wei Zong agreed with the meticulous thinking of the Cantonese businessmen, because he also guessed this: "The people who received the invitation letters are all people with status and status in Guangzhou City. The puppet circus just How did you come to Guangzhou City to know these powerful people in Guangzhou City? If these people with status and status in Guangzhou City are gathered together and locked in a 'cage', then Guangzhou City will be empty."

Yes, Cantonese businessmen are also aware of it.That's why they gathered together to discuss about the puppet circus.

Wei Zong has confirmed here that the visitors of the puppet circus are not good, but he can't catch any clues about them.If there was no evidence before, Wei Zong would have made excuses for the opponent and arrested him.Just like when I was hit by the British on Shamian Island.But now is not the period of the military government, and the Long Dudu doesn't speak.He can only sit.

The city of Guangzhou is ruled by the Long Dudu. Wei Zong does not believe that the Long Dudu can see the existence of people who threaten his position.Being able to sit in this position is more ruthless than anyone else.
