Chapter 31: shadow puppet
Everyone nodded and took orders, but some people had doubts about this arrangement.
Zhu Xiucai is one of them.
He frowned and said, "Sir, if we all hide, wait until midnight, when thieves really come over and see that we're not here, won't they be suspicious and startle the snake? How can we track and investigate them?"
"Don't worry, I can make the thief think we are still in the house."
Qin Shaoyou smiled, but he was already prepared.
Under the surprised or curious eyes of everyone, Qin Shaoyou took out a small wooden box from his arms.
On the wooden box, there are large patches of dark red, which look like bloodstains that have dried up for many years. At the same time, on the body of the wooden box, there are also many talisman papers, which makes people feel that it is not simple at first glance.
Opening the wooden box, there was a stack of shadow puppets tied with straw ropes.
These shadow puppets are not quite the same as the common shadow puppets.
They are not very well made, they only have a general shape of a person, neither the facial features are pointed out, nor are they colored.
Qin Shaoyou took out a shadow puppet, put it in front of his mouth, blew a sigh of relief, and put it on the Chase bunk.
I saw this shadow puppet, just like a frightened puffer fish, swelled up quickly.
After counting the breath, it becomes as big as a human being.
Looking at the appearance and facial features of the shadow puppet, it is astonishingly the same as Qin Shaoyou.
And there was an extra set of clothes on the body that originally had nothing, which was exactly what Qin Shaoyou was wearing at the moment.
Not only that, if you reach out and touch it, you will find that there are body temperature, breathing and heartbeat on the body of this shadow puppet.
Aside from being unable to move and keeping his eyes tightly closed, this shadow puppet is almost indistinguishable from a living person.
Of course, it's not okay to use it to pretend to be a person in action, but it's enough to pretend to be a sleeping person, so that people can't see the problem at all.
To be honest, this shadow puppet is many times more realistic than the most realistic wax figures and silicone dolls Qin Shaoyou has ever seen in his previous life!
This supernatural item, numbered twenty-three in yellow, was found by Luocheng Town Yaosi from the Specter's collection a few years ago when he solved the case of a troupe's Specter.
That Li Gui was also a poor person before his death. He was originally a shadow puppet artist. He took his daughter and traveled around the world to perform shadow puppet shows to earn a living.
But the world was chaotic, and they were kidnapped by a group of bandits on the road and brought up the mountain to let them perform for fun.
As a result, during the performance, the bandit head fell in love with the shadow puppet artist's daughter, and he was about to do something coercive on the stage.
The daughter resisted and was strangled on the stage by the angry bandit leader.
The shadow puppet artist wanted to rescue him, but his head was smashed directly by other bandits.
When he fell on the shadow puppet stage, blood stained the entire shadow puppet stage.
Bandits have long been accustomed to murder. After killing the father and daughter, the corpses were directly exposed in the wilderness, and wild dogs and crows were allowed to peck at their corpses.
What the robbers didn't expect was that seven days later, a shadow puppet artist who turned into a ghost appeared in their camp.
That night, screams, wailing, and begging for mercy continued in the bandit camp.
After that night, the murderous robbers disappeared, and there was an extra troupe in the world who liked to haunt at night.
It is said that the troupe's performances are very exciting, especially the fighting scenes are very real, and the scenes are full of blood...
It's just that all the people who have seen this troupe perform are dead...
It wasn't until they met Luocheng Town Yaosi that the ghost opera troupe was terminated, leaving behind a few supernatural objects.
Among them, shadow puppets have the least side effects, but they only make people lose a breath of blood.
For Wu Xiu, this side effect is completely affordable.
In addition, it has a strange effect and can be very useful at certain times, so Qin Shaoyou brought it with him.
And now, it really came in handy.
Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others, although they have worked in the Demon Suppression Company for several years, have never seen such a strange thing.
"Is this a supernatural item?"
"You can turn into a human with just one breath? It's amazing."
"How can shadow puppetry play like this? It's an eye-opener."
Some people immediately thought of the other uses of shadow puppets: "If I have such a shadow puppet, I will use it to go to the Qinglou Hua Kui to blow it!"
Wei Lishi, who wanted to take the shadow puppet to the oiran in the Qinglou, imagined a beautiful scene and stretched out his hand, wanting to take off the shadow puppet's pants and see what was inside.
Qin Shaoyou hurriedly stopped: "Hey, what are you doing? Just see, don't mess around."
Although it wasn't his own pants, Qin Shaoyou was still a little uncomfortable watching a shadow puppet that looked exactly like him being stripped of his pants.
Wei Lishi withdrew his hand, smiled embarrassingly, and said embarrassedly, "I want to see whether this shadow puppet is real or not."
Qin Shaoyou frowned, always feeling that Wei Lishi's words were realistic and there were some problems.
He glared at Wei Lishi, and then greeted everyone: "Okay, you don't have to do anything, just come over and get a shadow puppet and blow out your stand-ins."
Everyone took orders one after another, took the shadow puppet from him, took a breath, and put it on the Chase bunk.
After a while, there were more than a dozen 'people' in this room.
For some reason, seeing these 'people' who are exactly the same as him, UU has been reading www.uukanshu.com for a long time, and Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and the others have an inexplicable sense of fear in their hearts.
Zhu Xiucai swallowed and looked away from the shadow puppet that looked exactly like him.
These made his scalp tingle.
He turned his head and asked Qin Shaoyou curiously, "Sir, how many supernatural items did you bring out this time?"
For this question, the monk Ma and the luxuries were also very curious.
Qin Shaoyou chuckled and said vaguely, "Not much."
Everyone rolled their eyes in unison.
How much did you bring? We believe in you!
You have used several supernatural items along the way! Whose small flag officer is on a mission and can bring so many supernatural items?
However, it is also a kind of happiness to be able to follow such a well-prepared boss on a mission.
At least it can reduce their disability rate and reincarnation rate a lot.
Although shadow puppets make people's scalps numb, with them there, you really don't have to worry about the problem of scaring snakes.
But there are also people who sigh with regret.
"It's a pity, I thought I could be frank with the adults tonight, but it turned out to be such a mess. Now, I don't know when I can have the opportunity to be honest with the adults again."
Qin Shaoyou only felt a chill in his butt.
He turned his head to look at the talking fighter and frowned: What do you want to do? !
Qin Shaoyou resisted the urge to question, and instructed everyone: "Hurry up and rest, get something to eat by the way, and prepare for the evening."
Afterwards, he took the dog bought at Zhang Shilang's mansion from Zhu Xiucai and checked it carefully.
This inspection really made him discover the problem...
