Chapter 14 The Terrifying Paper Figures in the Old Courtyard
There was a knock on the door. Lin Qingqing looked outside in confusion and opened the door.
She was startled when she saw the people from the government office.
Lin Qingqing felt something was off: "Detective Chen, has there been any result regarding my brother's case?"
She saw Chen Yue, an acquaintance, and couldn't help but ask.
Chen Yue was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. Yes, Lin Xiao was gone, and they hadn't told Lin Qingqing the result yet.
During their investigation, they discovered that Lin Xiao was deceived by Li Qian and Song Ze and was mysteriously killed.
"Lin, your brother's case hasn't been investigated yet. Don't worry, we will definitely give you an explanation."
Seeing this, Su Zhe stepped forward.
These words made Lin Qingqing even more confused.
If it's not because of my brother, why are they here?
Could it be because of the Li family?
Lin Qingqing was startled by her own thoughts.
She dreamt today that her brother killed many strange creatures.
They also killed some people, including Li Qian's parents.
The government officials came to her door today, which made her think twice!
Lin Qingqing decided to keep her dreams a secret!
She was afraid these people would take her brother away!
Brother, he belongs to her!
Su Zhe felt a sense of unease. He was standing outside the Lin family compound, yet he hadn't sensed any strange aura emanating from it.
This is somewhat abnormal.
Wasn't it the Lin family's fault that led to Li Qian and the Li family's deaths?
"Sister?!" Shen Yaoyao peeked out from behind Lin Qingqing, saw Chen Yue and the people from the yamen, and exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here again?"
Su Zhe smiled at Shen Yaoyao, then pointed to the door: "Can we go in?"
Lin Qingqing nodded and stepped aside.
Inside the Lin family home, Shen Yaoyao brought tea to the officials.
"Lin, we will definitely investigate your brother's matter thoroughly. By the way, may we offer incense with your brother?"
Chen Yue smiled and spoke.
She first comforted Lin Qingqing, and then made her request.
I offer incense to my brother.
Lin Qingqing felt something was off. Looking at the people in the yamen, she nodded and agreed.
Su Zhe and the others exchanged a glance, and Su Zhe stepped forward to stand in front of Lin Xiao's portrait.
I lit an incense stick and stuck it in the incense burner.
He carefully examined Lin Xiao's portrait.
I didn't notice any change, nothing strange!
There is nothing strange about the Lin family, and Lin Xiao is not strange!
Could it be that all of this has nothing to do with Lin Xiao?
Su Zhe frowned.
He was somewhat skeptical, but the Lin family really didn't have any strange aura, and Lin Xiao wasn't strange either.
In fact, they had already gone to Qingshan Cemetery before coming to the Lin family.
In the Qingshan Cemetery, Lin Xiao's grave remained unchanged.
Su Zhe was puzzled and wondered if he had made a mistake in his judgment, and if all of this had nothing to do with the Lin family.
Chen Yue looked at Lin Qingqing and asked with a smile, "Lin, don't worry, we will definitely find out who killed your brother."
"If you encounter any difficulties in your life, you can call me."
As she spoke, she casually asked, "By the way, have you encountered any difficulties lately? Tell me about them now, don't be shy!"
"Our captain is here too, or you've encountered some strange people."
As Chen Yue spoke, she felt sorry for the little girl in front of her, which was also what she really thought.
If Lin Qingqing encounters trouble, she wouldn't mind helping her.
Su Zhe also promised that he would definitely find out who killed Lin Xiao.
Then he noticed the black cat in the house and took a look at it.
I never expected that the Lin family would have a black cat.
Black cats are creatures that can be quite supernatural.
Lin Qingqing nodded; neither she nor Shen Yaoyao thought much of it.
After all, her brother left.
The killer has not yet been identified.
She's probably still in Hushi; we might find her there.
It is indeed normal for government officials to come and investigate.
Lin Qingqing thought for a moment, then shook her head: "Thank you for your concern, Officer Chen. I haven't encountered any strange people or things recently."
Chen Yue wasn't surprised; they stayed there for a while longer before leaving.
As Lin Qingqing watched them leave, she realized she had just had a dream.
That dream felt incredibly real to her.
Thinking about it, Lin Qingqing smiled.
It's truly unbelievable that someone would speak out about their dream.
It'll probably make people laugh.
……
downstairs.
Su Zhe and the others went downstairs.
They were completely unaware that Lin Xiao's family housed four incredibly powerful and bizarre beings.
Even Su Zhe, when looking at the black cat, did not realize that the black cat was a powerful and eerie creature.
now.
Su Zhe stopped and found a corner in the Happiness Community to light a cigarette.
Chen Yue looked at the captain and knew that the captain was under a lot of pressure.
The captain was a retired soldier who became a constable.
He likes to always be at the forefront, just like this time.
Su Zhe didn't want Chen Yue to come along.
Su Zhe believed he could handle any strange occurrences.
Fortunately, they did not encounter anything strange at the Lin family's residence.
Su Zhe thought so too.
After finishing his cigarette and pondering things, he left the Happiness Community.
……
……
Beyond the present world.
You dissect a strange kitchen knife and discover its murderous rules.
Anyone who uses a kitchen knife will inevitably have their soul imprinted on it, and will be killed by the knife.
[You used your extraordinary comprehension to acquire the sharpest rules!]
[Rules are sharp: Your damage to the Slaves and other creatures is doubled.]
[You dissect the incredibly powerful and bizarre physical body, penetrate its rules, and the physical body changes.]
You discover that this strange phenomenon can enhance the bodies of those enslaved by ghosts, while simultaneously transforming them into ghostly beings.
[You used your extraordinary comprehension to master the rules, thus strengthening your physical body.]
[Rule-based Physical Enhancement: By activating this rule, your physical body will surpass that of ordinary people, reaching its own limits, and doubling your strength and physical defense.]
The various strange occurrences led Lin Xiao to use his extraordinary comprehension to dissect two powerful rules.
Lin Xiao emerged from the darkness and stepped onto solid ground.
He used the Yin Soul Path.
They found a strange building outside the real world.
He used the broken gun to leave his mark on the old calendar.
The page of the old calendar was pierced.
That thing has probably found a place to hide now and is quietly recovering.
Lin Xiao scanned the building; it was an old house with a two-courtyard layout.
There is a locust tree in the middle of the courtyard.
To his surprise, the old courtyard was faintly visible outside the real world, as if part of it had already connected to the real world.
Lin Xiao carried a gun, with a human skin following him.
The old house's courtyard gate was wide open.
In the courtyard, the houses, with their paper windows ripped open, seemed to cast shadows that watched him.
Lin Xiao glanced back slightly, as if someone was watching him from the mortal world, but Lin Xiao didn't care at all.
Because that wasn't his sister.
"I want this place."
Lin Xiao stepped into the courtyard.
Previously, strange creatures emerged from the courtyard and came to hunt him down.
Now that he's come looking for me, I'm naturally going to take my revenge!
With a bang, the courtyard gate slammed shut.
boom.
The darkness began to fluctuate again.
One paper figure after another rushed out of the house in the courtyard.
The paper figures looked absolutely terrifying.
They had eyes and hands, and their faces were flushed, making them a terrifying sight.
Their heels didn't touch the ground.
They all tiptoed and rushed out of the house quickly.
Each person's palm was like a sharp spike, hurtling towards Lin Xiao.
What's even more terrifying is that each of these paper figures possesses the strength of a fifth-rank official or higher!
Lin Xiao looked at these terrifying paper figures.
His expression remained completely unchanged.
Because He is an even more terrifying and bizarre being!
Lin Xiao gripped the broken spear and swept his sword horizontally, its edge extremely sharp!
In an instant, all the paper figures vanished into nothingness.
However, Lin Xiao's spear did not stop, and with one thrust, he opened the door to the main room.
A creaking sound came from inside the main room.
An old man sat at a table, drawing something.
Upon closer inspection, he was drawing paper figures and adding eyes to them.
All the paper doll anomalies are created by this real anomaly!
Lin Xiao watched this scene without changing his expression, and then reached out and grabbed the old man.
