The puppet was extremely small, only as big as a baby's hand, and the workmanship was extremely rough.
It was wearing a black shroud and was lying quietly in Hu's hand. Apart from its strange attire, I really couldn't see anything special about it.
To put it bluntly, it's like the inflatable dolls that cost tens of dollars on Xixi. This puppet is a miniature version of those dolls. It doesn't even bother to draw the details, and the whole face is blank.
It felt strange, so I raised my head and glanced at the man named Meng.
Then I heard him sneer and say, I am afraid that you will hold a grudge against me and say that I am a bad person. Although you don't appreciate it, I still plan to give you a chance to regret it.
Take this stand-in puppet. If you regret it and want to live, write the name of the person whose life you want to borrow on it, find a place to burn it, and that person will die due to an accident within three days.
, his Yangshou will naturally be transferred to you.
As the saying goes, if you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. You must seize this last opportunity.
After finishing speaking, without waiting for me to speak, the man surnamed Hu directly took my hand and put it on the puppet's face.
Instantly, I felt a tingling sensation, and subconsciously retracted my hand, only to find that something had made a small cut on my finger, and blood was slowly flowing out of it.
I looked at the puppet in his hand again, and found that there was a trace of red on the puppet's face. The trace slowly spread over its face, and gradually, its facial features appeared on its face.
And there is a drop of blood hanging from the corner of its mouth, which is obviously mine.
This weird scene made me frown for a moment, and I raised my head to look at him, but he had no expression on his face and handed the puppet to me casually.
Then he told me that judging from my appearance, there should be more than twenty days left in my life, and it would take three days for this puppet to work, so I had to find the person who borrowed my life within twenty days, and put him to death.
Write his name on it and burn the puppet, otherwise it will be too late to regret it.
I shook my head and told him a little disgustedly, no, just take it back, I don't need this thing.
But the guy surnamed Hu didn’t care what I said. He stuffed the puppet directly into my coat pocket, then looked at me with a gloomy look and said, “It’s my business whether you give it away or not, and it’s your business whether you use it or not.
The items given are never recycled unless you want me to kill you.
Trust me, you will definitely need it."
After saying this, he didn't care about my reaction and pushed me directly out of the morgue door.
I wanted to say something else, but before I could say anything, the door closed with a bang.
I stood there in confusion.
What's this thing? This thing comes with forced buying and selling?
I feel like what happened tonight is very outrageous. I think Hu didn't keep his promise, but he did say he wanted to teach me something and gave me this puppet, but I couldn't accept it myself.
I can only say that he helped, but not completely, just a little bit. At least he left a way out for me and gave me a chance to regret it.
But when I touched the puppet in my pocket, I began to murmur in my heart. If you harm an innocent person and lend his life to me, then what difference does it make between me and people like He Weimin? I can really do this.
Hand?
I was quite conflicted, and I was a little distracted when I walked to the ward. It wasn't until my phone rang later, and the vibrating frequency made me sober up.
I took it out and saw that it was Wu Hao. As soon as I picked up the call, he asked me: "Brother Yan, where were you just now? Why can't I get through when I call you?"
I was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that there should be no signal in the morgue.
So I lied and told Wu Hao that it was okay. I just went to the toilet. Maybe the signal in the toilet was not good.
Wu Hao said, when will you come back? I have booked the air tickets, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, we have to go back to Jinan tonight, otherwise we won't be able to make it tomorrow.
I hummed and told him I got it. I was about to say I would go back now, but then I suddenly remembered the small bottle in my pocket.
After hesitating for a moment, I told Wu Hao to wait for a while. I'm going to buy some things outside. You can pack them up first. I think I can go back in half an hour.
Wu Hao was still a little strange at that time and muttered in a low voice: What are you going to do? It will take half an hour, and there will be no high-speed rail if it is delayed.
I was too lazy to talk nonsense, so I told him to stop inking and tell you that you have something to do, so just wait for me.
After saying that, I hung up the phone, walked out of the inpatient department, and walked directly outside the hospital.
It was around eight o'clock at that time, and the shopping malls outside were not closed yet. There was a large convenience store right outside my door, so I bought a bunch of snacks there, including potato chips, chocolate, cola, etc., which totaled nearly 200 yuan.
I can't even carry the money.
I also bought two bags of biscuits and two cartons of milk because I still remembered my promise to return Wang Yao's biscuits and milk, and to bring her a lot of delicious food when we meet again.
Thinking of this, I felt a little sad and my chest felt congested. I took a deep breath and forced myself not to think about it anymore. Then I took the bag and walked to a secluded corner of the hospital backyard.
I took out my lighter, lit a cigarette, and lit the charm at the same time, and then I stuffed it into the mineral water bottle I just bought.
The strange thing is that the talisman continued to burn after entering the water, until the whole thing was burned to ashes, dyeing the water into that light yellow liquid.
I have seen so many strange things in recent times that I have become accustomed to them. I shook the bottle of urine-like water and drank it in a gulp.
In fact, at that time, I was still a little bit confused. After drinking a bottle of talisman water, can I control the ghost in the bottle? Will this thing work?
But there is no point in thinking about it. Only by practicing it can you know whether it is good or not. I did not hesitate anymore, took out the vial, opened the lid on it, and said silently in my heart: Come out.
A strange scene happened.
A wisp of green smoke actually floated out of the small bottle. The green smoke was blown away by a breeze before it was less than a foot away from the mouth of the bottle.
I frowned subconsciously, thinking that the ghost in the bottle would be blown away by a gust of wind, right?
It turned out that I was overthinking it, because not long after, a woman's figure slowly appeared in the corner a few meters in front of me.
As the figure became clearer and clearer, I saw that the woman was wearing white clothes and had long, messy black hair. But when I saw her face clearly, I was immediately confused.
He also shouted in surprise: "Damn it, why is it you?"
