Chapter 80 The Paper Man
Xu Yuan left the village where Wang Tiezhu was.

At the same time, Wang Tiezhu also left. He did not leave with Xu Yuan, but drove his pickup truck to Dongbin City where Xu Yuan was located.

With only one person left in his family, he no longer has any thoughts about this village.

He just wanted to get out of here quickly, reach a safe place, and start a new life.

"The first village has this virtue. I really don't know how bad this city is."

Drive a heavy locomotive and run on the highway.

Xu Yuan frowned slightly when he thought of the current situation of Wang Tiezhu's village.

In that village, apart from Wang Tiezhu, there was no one alive.

The activities are all low-level and weird like the old lady of the Wang family.

This kind of weird strength is quite weak.

Not worth mentioning at all to him.

But for ordinary people, these monsters who are not afraid of swords and guns are very deadly existences.

"Less than six hours to go."

Xu Yuan raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch.

It is now more than 12:30 midnight.

"Find a place to refuel first."

Looking at the fuel gauge, there was less than one-tenth of the fuel left in the tank.

Xu Yuan turned on the navigation and searched for gas stations.

I found that the nearest gas station was about fifteen kilometers away from me.

"Hopefully enough."

Turning the accelerator, Xu Yuan drove towards the gas station according to the navigation instructions.

Deep and dark.

Xu Yuan, riding a heavy locomotive, traveled through the dark night.

Compared to the urban area of ​​Dongbin City.

The village and town roads in Dapan City are a bit narrow.

Plus sparsely populated.

Makes the night here extra permeable.

Running on the road.

All Xu Yuan could see was the road within the range of the lights and the uneven trees on both sides.

There was darkness outside the lighting, even with Xu Yuan's eyesight, he could only see the faint shadows of the mountains and the outlines of the rice fields.

There was no sound at all except the sound of the engine of a heavy locomotive.

Driving on such a road gives people a feeling of galloping towards the underworld.

Even with Xu Yuan's courage, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

[You are about to enter a special scene: deserted village and wild grave]

The reminder that popped up in the future video made Xu Yuan step on the brakes.

He frowned as he looked at the dark road ahead.

"Go ahead, will you enter a special scene?"

I glanced at the location of the gas station in the navigation, and it was less than one kilometer away from me.

If you want to reach this gas station, it is obviously impossible to bypass this special scene, and there is even a high possibility that this gas station is built in a special scene.

As for the other gas station, the nearest is also fifty kilometers away.

There is absolutely not enough gas left in the car right now.

"To enter or not to enter?"

After a little hesitation, Xu Yuan quickly made a choice.

Enter!
It doesn't matter if there is a gas station in this deserted village or grave, just because this place is a special scene, he has to challenge it.

He knew that he had already mastered two special scenarios.

Not only do special scenarios have great dangers, but they also have more benefits.

Just get out of here alive.

There must be some pretty good rewards.

In such an era of weird recovery, things like becoming stronger must not be relaxed.

Adventure is a must.

Moreover, Xu Yuan has confidence in his own strength.

hum!
Release the brakes, twist the accelerator, and the heavy locomotive starts again.

The red taillights suddenly disappeared into the air after running for a few hundred meters.

As if submerged in an invisible barrier...

Not long after the heavy locomotive disappeared.

An invisible existence slowly came to this place.

He stretched out his invisible palm and gently touched the front, and a ripple like a water wave appeared in the air.

next second.

A large claw-like depression appeared in the ripples.

The depression was deep, and a hollow figure with a slender body and a distended belly appeared in the air.

After the depression was about half a meter inward, it suddenly retracted.

Here again the original calm was restored.

……

Hot sun shines from the sky.

The ground was scorched by the sun.

In a harvested cornfield, Xu Yuan shook his head and sat up.

"what's the situation?"

Looking at the corn stalks under him, feeling the scorching sun, smelling the smell of hay from the field, and listening to the feeble chirping of insects.

Xu Yuan doubted whether he had time-traveled.

【Om! 】

[You enter a special scene: deserted villages and wild graves]

[In special scenes, your ghost puzzle will be suppressed, and your cursed props will become unusable.You need to complete the scene task of the special scene before you can complete the escape. 】

[Hint: Special scenes are extremely dangerous and are not protected by safe time. At the same time, in special scenes, you will get a plot identity. 】

[You get the identity: Villager of Dahuai Village]

[Task: Go to the grave]

[Note: In another day, it will be July [-]th. Dahuai Village will start the annual tomb-sweeping ceremony. All you have to do is to go to the ancestral tomb of Houshan for the tomb-sweeping ceremony on July [-]th. 】

[Task reward: 4 year lifespan]

[Failure penalty: There are many tombs in Houshan, many without names, maybe one of them is yours. 】

[Warning: Do not leave this village before July [-]th. 】

"The phone is gone, but the task prompt popped out of my mind. Is this a limitation of a special scene?"

Looking down at the clothes with a sense of age on his body, Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This dress..."

This suit on him has the style of the Republic of China, but he is not sure if it is really the clothes of the Republic of China.

Because of his understanding of the Republic of China era, all of them stayed on the film and television programs with the background of the Republic of China that he had watched.

"The time has also changed from night to day... The mission time is still tomorrow. It seems that this special scene is really special."

Stand up and feel the unaffected body strength.

Xu Yuan had a bottom line in his heart.

Never mind how special this particular scene is.

As long as he has physical strength, he has the ability to fight problems.

The next thing to do is to block with soldiers, cover with water and soil, and play by ear.

"Yuanzi, your mother is calling you home for dinner!"

Just as he was thinking, Xu Yuan heard the cry of a child. He looked up and found a kid with a snotty nose waving at him at the edge of the corn field.

"Oh, I see!"

Seeing this kid, a small memory inexplicably appeared in Xu Yuan's mind.

dog eggs.

My cousin is the kind of little guy who is young and big in seniority.

"Implant memory? It's a bit different from the last two special scenes."

After absorbing this memory, Xu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but his heart became vigilant.

In the special copy, any kind of special place has its own meaning of existence.

Possibly good, more likely bad.

You have to be very careful.

After leaving the cornfield, Xu Yuan came to Goudan's side.

"Let's go."

Although he knew the identity of Goudan, Xu Yuan did not get the memory of his "home".

If you want to go back, you must let this kid be your guide.

"Ah."

Goudan didn't think too much, and walked towards the village with Xu Yuan.

Dahuai Village is a small village with about 50 households living there.

At the entrance of the village, there is a big locust tree with luxuriant branches, which blocks the sun and gives a shade.

Because it is lunch time now, the chimneys of every household are emitting smoke, revealing a taste of life.

It is completely unbelievable that this is a dangerous special scene.

But Xu Yuan soon discovered something was wrong.

Although this village seems to be full of popularity, there is not a single person in sight.

Every household is cooking, but there is no sound at all.

This is very abnormal.

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes, and his thoughts moved.

[You try to enter other villagers' homes, you trigger the killing rules of Dahuai Village, and you are dead. 】

The prompt that popped up in Future Video left Xu Yuan speechless.

"You'll die if you enter someone else's house? That's tough enough."

Turning his gaze again, and realizing that the reminders of Future Vision were all about death, Xu Yuan obediently withdrew his gaze.

Following Goudan, Xu Yuan quickly found his "home".

This is a courtyard surrounded by mud walls, there are grinding discs, chicken pens, and a three-room thatched hut.

The door of the house is made of wooden boards, and the windows are made of wooden corrugated paper and pasted with white paper.

The whole house is yellowish and full of age.

Goudan sent Xu Yuan to the gate of the courtyard, waved to him, and left bouncing away.

Seeing his leaving back disappear from sight, Xu Yuan turned around and walked into his home.

The flat yard is very clean.

There was a pile of sun-dried corn on the cob in the corner, and a few hens clucked in the henhouse.

Xu Yuan looked at this very ordinary courtyard, fell silent for a while, and walked towards the thatched cottage.

Squeak!

I don't know if the wooden door was in disrepair, and it made a rather loud noise when it was opened.

As the door opened, a strong smell of meat came to his face, which made Xu Yuan's face change.

"It smells so good..."

The smell of meat is very fragrant, not the kind of corpse fragrance that has the effect of bewitching people's spirits encountered in Nanshan Hospital.

But in this fragrance, he smelled a very wrong smell.

The taste of life...the taste of human life.

"My son is back~"

An old voice sounded, bringing Xu Yuan back to his senses. He followed the voice and found an old woman in peasant clothes looking at him kindly.

"The rice is already ready. I've stewed meat for you today. Hurry up and eat it."

"..."

Silently glanced at the old woman, Xu Yuan did not sit down, but looked in the direction of the scent.

There was an old wooden stake on which stood several enamel bowls.

Bowls are filled with hot meals.

Wotou, pickled radishes, pickled cabbage strips and a big bowl of oily stew.

That aroma comes from these stews.

"Son, why don't you sit down? Mother has already cooked for you."

The kind voice sounded again, and Xu Yuan found that the old woman had come behind him at some point and closed the door.

"I'm not hungry."

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows when he realized this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"This is the new meat of this year. It's always delicious. You should try it."

As if she didn't hear Xu Yuan's words, the old woman took two steps forward, picked up a piece of fat with chopsticks, and handed it over.

"Come on, mother, feed you."

"No need, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to sleep first."

Xu Yuan tilted his head, avoided the meat fed by the old woman, turned around and walked towards the back room.

"Don't go!"

A stiff and cold hand reached out, trying to grab Xu Yuan.

But when the hand reached halfway, it was caught by another big black claw.

"Don't move your hands and feet."

Turning around, she looked at the "mother" Xu Yuan, whose face became as pale as a paper doll, with two blushes on his cheeks, and his expression was indifferent.

Behind him, a shadow double in a black suit was holding the hand of the paper figurine with one hand, and the scythe of abomination in the other, and put the sickle on the paper figurine's neck.

Although the special dungeon limited Xu Yuan's cursed props.

However, it has no effect on the cursed items on the shadow double.

"Or cut your head off."

"Go and eat meat...Go and eat meat!"

However, Xu Yuan's kind persuasion was of little use to this "mother".

He struggled with his body, trying to escape the hold of the shadow double.

Stab it!

But the shadow substitute with stronger supernatural power is not something that he can compete with.

With a sound of tearing thick paper.

One arm of the paper figurine's mother was torn off by the shadow double.

"eat quickly!"

The broken arm made the paper figurine mother's voice a little weak, but her expression was already crazy, and she kept approaching Xu Yuan with the other hand holding the flesh.

chap!
next second.

His head was cut off by the scythe of abomination.

Xu Yuan, who was expressionless, watched a soul with a distorted expression being hooked out of the paper figurine by the scythe.

The appearance of this soul is no different from the paper man.

But the expression is even more crazy.

He howled and wanted to continue to pounce on Xu Yuan.

But it was hooked off again by the sickle of hate that stretched out from behind.

The headless soul was swallowed by the sickle in mid-air.

Only the tumbling head was grabbed by the shadow double's big black hands, pinched into a fingernail-sized shard of resentment, and handed it to Xu Yuan's hands.

"Paper man?"

Seeing Wuhuo's "mother" who turned into ashes naturally, Xu Yuan put away the shadow double.

He glanced at the food on the table.

These foods were found to have changed.

Wotou and pickles turned into rotten objects covered with mildew.

The bowl of fragrant stew didn't change much, but it changed into a different shape.

"..."

Watching silently, Xu Yuan's expression was gloomy.

He didn't know where it came from, but he knew that the weirdness in this village was definitely very vicious.

Giving someone the newly cooked meat to eat is such a malicious act, full of twisted malice.

Bang bang bang!
While thinking, the door of the room suddenly slammed, and a rude voice sounded.

"Aunt Xu, what are you cooking so delicious, can you let me come in and have a look?"

The master of the voice outside the door was very energetic. After only two taps, the closed door made a creaking sound, as if it would collapse in the next second.

Xu Yuan, who found this, was about to open the door when he came to the door, but a hint of future vision jumped out of his eyes.

[You opened the door, and it was revealed that you killed the paper figurine mother, and you are about to usher in the pursuit of the whole village of paper figurines. 】

"..."

Seeing this prompt, Xu Yuan put down his raised hand.

Although it didn't take much effort to kill the paper figurine's mother, Xu Yuan didn't think that all the paper figurines in this village were so weak.

And there is only one day left until July [-], when the mission starts.

He didn't want to cause too much trouble when the mission officially started.

Bang bang bang!
I don't know if he has noticed Xu Yuan's existence.

The knocking on the door became more intense.

However, the quality of the door was unexpectedly strong, and after being photographed so many times, there was no sign of it collapsing at all.

The owner of the voice outside the door seemed to notice something, and gradually stopped slamming the door.

As the knock on the door stopped.

For a while, the scene fell into silence.

Inside the house, Xu Yuan stood there with a silent face.

Outside the door, a figure stood stiffly at the door, motionless against the crack of the door.

For a while, the scene fell into a stalemate.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Xu Yuan didn't move.

There was no movement outside the door.

But in Xu Yuan's ears, a voice kept whispering.

"Yuanzi is inside~"

"Why is Yuanzi in there alone?"

"Why is Yuan Ziniang missing?"

"Yuan Ziniang also made delicious stewed meat."

"Why doesn't Yuanzi eat meat?"

"Why is Yuanzi not moving?"

"Yuanzi tastes very good, but I don't know how it tastes?"

"No! He will go to the grave in another day, and he will be left to the ancestors to eat!"

"But it's fascinating to smell his humanity."

"..."

Listening to the whispering voice full of desire and greed, Xu Yuan sighed a long time. Through the crack of the door, he looked at the eye that was sticking to the crack of the door and stared at him for a long time, and stretched his neck.

"Sure enough... I'm still grumpy."

A thought moves.

The dark shadow spread from underfoot like lightning, and instantly flowed out of the door along the crack of the door.

The black shadow surged, and the shadow double with a gaping mouth stood up from behind the figure outside the door, and gently tapped his shoulder.

"Huh? What are you? No, no... ah!"

Turning his head, seeing the shadow double behind him, the middle-aged man-like paper figurine twitched and let out a scream of fear.

With this desperate scream, the world was instantly quiet.

The shadow returned, and a small crystal of resentment popped out of the shadow.

Reach out to catch the crystal and put it in his pocket.

Xu Yuan turned around and poured the "food" from the table into the stove, and then opened the door.

"Let's take the initiative."

The sky outside had darkened.

Through the dull light, Xu Yuan saw a mass of dark embers on the ground.

Picking up the broom and dustpan on the door, Xu Yuan swept the embers into the dustpan and threw them into the hut.

"Trash should go where it should go."

Slapping off the remaining paper ash in the dustpan on the wall, Xu Yuan said indifferently.

"Aunt Xu, are you there?"

At this moment, a cry came from outside the door.

Xu Yuan looked up and found a paper man wearing a turban standing at the gate of his yard.

Judging from the facial features drawn on the paper figurine, this paper figurine should be a woman.

At this time, she was lying at the door, constantly looking into the yard.

"What's the matter with you looking for my mother?"

Throwing down the crime tools in his hands, Xu Yuan clapped his hands, and walked out of the hut calmly.

"Yuanzi, did you see your Uncle Zhou? He seems to have come to your house just now."

There was a vivid worried look on the paper woman's brush-painted face.

"Uncle Zhou?"

Hearing what the paper figurine woman said, Xu Yuan thought of the paper figurine he had just killed.

If nothing else, this guy should be that Uncle Zhou.

"I didn't see it, look elsewhere."

Xu Yuan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't see it at all.

"No, he obviously found it by following the smell of meat, how could he not be here? Yuanzi, call your mother out, I'll ask her."

The paper figurine woman did not leave obediently, but stuck to Xu Yuan like a dog's skin plaster.

"She fell asleep."

Facing the entanglement of the paper figurine woman, a cold light flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes.

After killing the paper figurine surnamed Zhou, he found that he seemed to be overly cautious.

It seems that the paper figurines in this village are not as strong as he imagined.

With his strength, it is not impossible to kill these guys.

"Then I'll go in and see..."

The paper woman was about to walk into the yard as she said that, but at this moment a palm surrounded by intense heat radiation suddenly stretched out and grabbed his head.

"You talk a lot."

Looking at the paper figurine woman who was caught by him and kept struggling, Xu Yuan's expression was a bit ferocious.

"How many times have I told you that she's not here, why don't you just get out?"

The power of the inextinguishable grip surged, and the place where the paper man and the palm were in contact with each other gradually emitted blue smoke, and strands of flames lit up from the paper man woman's face.

"Actually, I don't like violence. Why do you always force me?"

The palm of the hand suddenly exerted force, and the power of the inextinguishable grip exploded.

The head of the paper figurine woman was directly ignited into a ball of fire.

The flames spread.

Soon the whole body of the paper man was ignited.

in the rising flames.

Pale figures appeared in the darkness.
