Eternal Night

Chapter 26 Half Paper Man

"Ghost!!"

Lin Heier roared, waking up everyone except Wu Xianxiao.

She stood beside Wu Xianxiao and said loudly: "Many of them are ghosts, wandering ghosts killed by those paper figures, or people killed by horse bandits who turned into paper figures. They are either hallucinations or very weak. Don't be deceived."

The accomplice, the accomplice in the story of assisted the tiger.

Everyone felt a little relieved, but when they saw the stiff and terrifying human figures emerging from the fog, they were still frightened.

Yamade was busy making a throwing device. The whole device was more than eight meters long and divided into four parts. In order to use these simple materials to send Wu Xianxiao to a height of fifty meters, Yamade adopted a combined push-type structure. Because it was made of bamboo, it had great toughness and combined with vines to create a spring-like structure. The four groups of engineers pushed it in turn, and eventually the object could be thrown to a very long distance and a very high altitude, but the accuracy really could not be achieved.

Moreover, this set of equipment has a disadvantage, that is, it occupies a very large area. Not only does it occupy most of the courtyard, but it also needs to be connected to the walls of the surrounding buildings with vines. Its complexity is amazing for people of that era.

This was the critical moment in the manufacture of this set of equipment. Yamade shouted to the others without even looking up: "Give me an hour, no, fifty minutes is fine, and I'll make it right away!"

Everyone turned their eyes to Wu Xianxiao again, but he just raised his head to look at the sky, still maintaining his straddle position without saying a word, his body slightly adjusting at a level invisible to the naked eye.

At this point the situation is very clear. Neither Yamade nor Wu Xianxiao will take action. Only Lin Heier, Xu Rongyu and Xu Shilan are the fighting force at this time.

Lin Heier naturally took the lead. She took a step and performed the Lotus Step, moving smoothly across half the field. She took a torch in one hand and stood in front of everyone. Then Xu Shilan followed closely behind her, also holding a torch in one hand and standing at the front of the dam field.

Xu Rongyu's face turned pale. He naturally couldn't embarrass himself at this time. Although his hands and feet were shaking, he stood beside the two women.

Fortunately, the layout of the entire charity cemetery was in their favor. The main building was a U-shaped building complex with a single opening. There were buildings on the left and right behind it. The only thing in front of it was a dam facing the woods. This was exactly the reason why everyone stayed at the charity cemetery and did not leave.

At this moment, three people holding six torches were standing in front of the entrance of the main building of the charity cemetery. Facing them were densely packed stiff human figures. Lin Heier had a resolute expression on his face. He was the first to go forward with a torch in hand and waved the torch at the first few human figures.

The light of the fire dispelled the fog, and once the fog dissipated, the human figures immediately disappeared like smoke.

"It's really an illusion!" Lin Heier was excited and shouted in a tender voice.

The other two were also excited. They each picked up a torch and waved it back and forth at the human figure.

In an instant, countless human figures disappeared in front of the six torches, but the fog and the human figures continued. These human figures still rushed forward in that terrifying posture. Gradually, the speed at which Xu Shilan and Xu Rongyu swung the torches began to decrease, and both of them felt their arms were sore and weak.

At this moment, Lin Heier's face suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted at the two of them: "Be careful!"

After the loud shout, the two of them immediately felt a cold breath coming towards them, and in the mist suddenly a half-human, half-paper figure appeared, and rolled towards the two of them. Just as they were about to be rolled up, Xu Rongyu suddenly pounced on Xu Shilan, and then one of his thighs was rolled up by this thing, and the whole person was half hanging in the air and was dragged away.

Seeing that Xu Rongyu was about to be dragged into the fog, suddenly at this moment, a roar spread out, like thunder and whistle. Everyone felt a constant ringing in their ears. In a trance, it seemed that a blood-red tiger was roaring to the sky in this charity cemetery.

As the sound spread, the fog disappeared in an instant, along with the thousands of human-like ghosts. Only then did Lin Heier and Xu Shilan see a paper man carrying Xu Rongyu's leg and about to fly away.

Lin Heier rushed to the side of the paper man, waving the two torches in his hands alternately, burning the paper man so hard that it squeaked and could only leave Xu Rongyu behind and float away alone. Once it was out of Lin Heier's torch, the flames on its body immediately began to turn green and then disappeared.

At the same time, dozens of paper figures appeared and floated in the woods, and a half-paper figure and half-flesh thing stepped out of the woods step by step. Lin Heier saw clearly that this half-paper figure and half-flesh thing revealed the appearance of Xu Zhenshan!

At this moment, the surrounding fog swept in again, and the thousands of ghosts reappeared and pounced on the three people again.

Lin Heier waved the torch repeatedly to drive away the evil spirits, while Xu Shilan rushed to Xu Rongyu and pulled him up, not caring whether he was alive or dead, and dragged him into the charity cemetery. The three of them fought and retreated, and soon arrived at the charity cemetery dam. They crossed a line of firewood with a little oil sprinkled on it. Lin Heier guarded behind Xu Shilan, and after Xu Shilan dragged Xu Rongyu into the firewood line, she immediately threw the torch into the firewood pile. Immediately, a raging flame burned on the dam field, completely blocking the only entrance outside the charity cemetery complex, and those ghosts and humanoids did not dare to cross the fire line at all. They only dared to howl like ghosts and wolves four or five meters outside the fire line. At the same time, they kept changing their appearance, from human form to various mutilated and horrifying dead bodies, or into green-faced and fanged ghosts. The entire area outside the fire line seemed as terrifying as hell.

Lin Heier did not look at the horrific scenes outside the line of fire. She quickly ran to Xu Rongyu's side and turned his face over. She saw that Xu Rongyu's face was ashen, but his eyeballs were still moving and his teeth were clenched tightly, obviously he was still alive.

Lin Heier breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Shilan also stood up, panting. She looked at the fire line worriedly and said, "We can only collect this much firewood these days, and there is not enough fuel. It can only burn for 20 minutes at most, and then the flame will go out..."

The two of them looked at Yamadei at the same time. Yamadei was tying the throwing tools to the surrounding walls. It looked like it would take some time to complete. On the other side, Wu Xianxiao was still sitting astride the ball, seemingly motionless. Only Lin Heier had a look of joy on his face, but also worry at the same time.

Wu Xianxiao's lower body moved down another half an inch, and he was one step closer to achieving the Lotus Sitting Power. Such speed was simply incredible, but even so, he could not achieve it within twenty minutes.

Lin Heier was silent for a moment, then said decisively: "If it doesn't work, just burn down the building and delay the final time... Do your best and leave the rest to fate!"

Just as Lin Heier and Xu Shilan were worried, Xu Rongyu fell into a semi-comatose state, Yamade was concentrating on the final manufacturing and debugging of the throwing tools, and Wu Xianxiao was pouring all his attention into practicing the lotus sitting force, the thing with Xu Zhenshan's face, half paper and half flesh, came to the front of the flame line.

"Rong Yu, why did you lock me out? I have already attained enlightenment, and I will take you to the immortal world!"

The half-paper man's head was made of flesh, his neck to chest was made of paper, his arms were made of flesh again, and his lower body was made of paper again. The image was indescribably grotesque and terrifying, and the words that came out of his mouth seemed to carry some kind of magic. Just by listening to the words, everyone present got goosebumps all over their bodies, as if the surface of glass was scratched with the sharpest wire.

Xu Rongyu howled miserably and covered his ears. Blood oozed out of his ears. Although Xu Shilan was in a slightly better condition, she also covered her ears with a look of pain on her face.

Everyone saw the half-paper man approaching the fire line, it opened its mouth and inhaled, and its thin paper body swelled up like a balloon. Then it swung its hand towards the flame. With a crisp sound, its palm hit the flame, and the flame immediately turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"not good!"

Lin Heier's face changed drastically. She immediately took out the red soft gun from her waist, shook it hard, turned it into a long spear, and then pointed it straight at the green flame. At the same time, the dark energy burst out and was transmitted along the red soft gun into the flame.

As expected, the dark energy burst out, and when it met the flame, it immediately caused the flame to surge, expelling the green color and restoring the orange-yellow flame.

The half-paper figure looked at Lin Heier with its dull dead eyes, and then the half-paper figure actually said, "It turned out to be the Holy Mother of Yellow Lotus. My mother is still talking about you, and she said that I must take you back and make you my maid."

Lin Heier felt a chill in his heart, but his hands did not stop. He shook the red soft spear and stabbed it into the flame again. The dark power burst out again, and the orange-yellow flame immediately surged, causing a large number of nearby ghosts to disappear. Only the half-paper man stood there unhindered.

At this time, dozens of other paper people floated to the front of the fire line. They flew around, groaned, and shouted, and the half-paper man raised his arm again, as if holding a very heavy stone tablet in his palm. He lifted it with ease and slapped the red soft gun.

The two fought each other in the flames. Lin Heier's dark energy burst out immediately, and the red soft spear in her hand extended forward. However, what rebounded from the red soft spear was not the expected recoil of the dark energy, but a cold breath. In an instant, her arms holding the spear seemed to be frozen by ice. Her arms could no longer hold the red soft spear, and her whole body fell backwards, rolling at least seven or eight meters away.

The blood sprayed all the way and froze into ice before it hit the ground. Just as Lin Heier fell, the ground was covered with bloody ice fragments.

The half-paper man dealt a heavy blow to Lin Hei'er, and then he smashed the monument and hit the fire line with his palm. A large area of ​​the fire line turned completely green, and then it went out and disappeared. The half-paper man strode into the dam and reached out to grab Lin Hei'er who had fallen to the ground.

"My life is over..." Lin Heier's whole body was stiff at this time. The strange cold air froze her blood circulation. For a moment, she was unable to move and could only close her eyes and wait for death.

At this critical moment, another roar like thunder and whistle broke out, and a figure stepped over Xu Shilan, Xu Rongyu, and Lin Heier, and in a breath almost flashed between the half-paper man and Lin Heier.

"Sitting Lotus Power!"

The figure sat with legs crossed, one hand on his waist and the other hand on the sky, facing the half-paper man's hand that changed from claw to palm to smash the monument!
