Chapter 7, Puppet Illusion

I do not know what is happening, my mind is becoming chaotic, yet I inexplicably feel a sense of peace from that light

I did not pay attention when I fell, and my hand directly landed on the ground

I remind you once again, do not look at the light in their eyes!

The subconscious tells me that this is just a dream

She spoke with reason, and I found no opportunity to refute her

Their eyes are blood-red, emitting a faint glow in the darkness

I originally thought that those little puppets were not that difficult to deal with, and they also posed no threat.

Be careful, they are likely to carry venom. If you get poisoned, it will be quite troublesome

Although I am not familiar with Dongjing, I cannot just stand by and let her get hurt

My mind is racing, trying to utilize everything at my disposal

In my reality, I have long since lost my family, and my presence here is merely a struggle for survival

With no other options available, I can only jump up

However, it is strange to say that those puppets seemed to be chasing after me, until I retreated to the edge of the cabinet, with no way to escape

I know she is more capable than I am, there must be some expertise involved

I never expected Dong Jing to be so agitated, it scared me to the point that I didn't dare to speak

My gaze turned fierce as I looked at the other puppets; they are doomed

When I turned back to look, I realized that they were small puppets in groups of three to five.

What on earth is going on

Following the adults, I arrived at the village entrance, where I saw the wedding procession.

Although those small puppets do not appear large, their eyes emit a red glow

Suddenly, the voice of Dong Jing came to my ears, and my mind became a little clearer

I should recognize the facts and quickly find the way back to reality

"Don't just stand there, do you have any solutions?" Dong Jing stood beside me for a while, probably also at a loss.

The woman sitting inside the flower palanquin is my mother

After the blood flowed out, all the little puppets dared not approach me

Not right

At that time, I was still a child, and when I looked up, I could only see the waists of the villagers.

Oh my!

I did not expect Dong Jing to get angry so quickly, pointing at me and scolding: "Just now they had not revealed their true forms, if it weren't for my meditation and incantations, you wouldn't have been able to see them at all! Why do you think your uncle sent me here? What use are you!"

The puppets seemed to be very frightened, instantly darting away all at once

That thing can be used to exorcise evil spirits, and with the addition of white liquor, the problem should be manageable

Listening to the sounds in my ears, I feel particularly uncomfortable

I was so frightened that I was drenched in cold sweat, and there was nothing in my hands except for the white liquor

But I did not expect that when they approached me, their hands merely brushed against me, and I immediately felt a sharp pain

I was unable to evade in time and fell directly from the top of the cabinet

I just remembered, the best way to save my life is none other than my own blood

But I cannot leave here, I am watching my father as he brings my mother out of the bridal sedan chair, at that moment my heart only wishes to stay here with them

I admit that my tone may come across as somewhat arrogant, but what I actually mean is merely to pose a rhetorical question

"You have been standing for so long, is there really no way out?" I turned my head to look at her

I nodded slightly and quickly retreated.

At that moment, a sudden cold wind blew in from outside, causing the windows to rattle loudly

The maternal uncle once said that this object can effectively drive away unclean entities

I saw my deceased grandparents, as well as my uncle and other relatives

Then the small circle surrounded all the puppets inside, I smiled slightly and forcefully squeezed more blood from the wound on the palm of my right hand

Fire Departure Talisman

The speed visible to the naked eye, a white shadow flew out from it.

The entire eardrum feels as if it is about to burst, and my head is buzzing

It is evident that someone is controlling them

The other puppets, upon seeing this, scattered in all directions

The Fire Departure Talisman, I have heard of it

It was precisely because of this that I shed two lines of tears in an instant

Thinking of this, I ran forward and grabbed a small puppet

However, this expulsion is not very effective

However, I have no idea what the purpose of the person controlling them is

There is a tall and handsome man, reaching out to touch a red flower as he moves forward, followed by a large red flower palanquin behind him

However, now on the first floor, there is only one man, myself

I stood behind my grandfather, holding his hand, feeling a bit dazed myself

The place I find myself in seems to be a banquet, yet I cannot distinguish what kind of banquet it is

Dong Jing shouted while throwing talismans in my direction

This house had been vacant for a long time, with a pile of clutter on the floor, and my hand was cut directly.

I have a very special feeling in my heart, this should be my father

Moreover, it is evident that the ropes on them have all been cut short

Wen Jie

Moreover, the surroundings around me have also changed

Everyone is happily raising their cups, and I am also holding a glass of orange juice

But I just want to stay with them

There is also black glutinous rice among the five grains

"Wen Jie, do not look at that red light any longer! If this continues, you will die!"

Struggling internally with the decision of whether to stay or leave, I find it difficult to discern which is more important

I know that what she said was very serious, and I did not dare to say anything further

As soon as the fire talisman has burned out, those unclean entities will quickly catch up again

If I were to stubbornly confront these puppets, I might also get hurt

And the little puppet before me has also taken on the appearance of my loved ones

That is a mesmerizing light; if you continue to gaze at it, you will lose your life! Why did you not quickly pull yourself back to reality when I called you?!

Dong Jing's voice was particularly sharp, and at the same time, I felt a burning pain on my face, probably because she slapped me.

Indeed, as soon as the fire talisman disappeared, all the puppets surrounded me again

That kind of sound seems even more eerie in this pitch-black house

At that moment, Dong Jing waved her hand beside me, creating a light yellow small circle

They appeared harmless, and I observed them carefully, letting down my guard

As far as I know, these small wooden puppets are quite malevolent

I am also very clear that as long as I stay here, I will die

Dong Jing's voice trembled, indicating her concern for me, yet her words remained unyielding: "If you won't help, that's fine, but you are making things worse."

I looked around, it is our village

I curled the corner of my mouth, exerted force, and crushed the puppet's head.

The pain suddenly jolted me awake, and I felt a wave of fear in my heart

In other words, someone is manipulating from behind the scenes

At that moment, the little puppet walked towards us, getting closer and closer

After the puppet emitted an unpleasant sound, the red light in its eyes disappeared
