This actor is full of tricks.

As time went by, more and more villagers came here. Tonight was particularly lively, and the open space was filled with the sound of conversation.

In comparison, Lin Jue's table was much quieter. Everyone was frightened by the driver's experience. They all had ugly faces and remained silent.

A few minutes later, the female college student lowered her voice and looked around. "Don't you think this village is weird? Not only are the rules weird, but this wedding feels like a funeral to me. Who's such a good person that they can't hold it until midnight? Are they getting married for the devil?"

"Stop talking!" The man in the jacket shrugged nonchalantly. "It's weird, so be it. As long as the talisman is useful, that's all. I'm not here to worry about whether there are any problems in the village. I just want to finish my own business."

The crowd was not blind, and they could naturally see that there was something strange about the village, but their purpose was different from Lin Jue's. They just wanted to wait until the grand sacrifice to get the talisman.

Put away your curiosity, follow the rules, get the talisman and leave.

No one cares what the truth about the village is.

"That's right." The female college student nodded in agreement, interrupted the topic, and started eating melon seeds.

The atmosphere around the table became quiet again, and at the same time, Lin Jue noticed that the conversations of the villagers around him gradually weakened, and everyone's eyes were looking to the side.

A light gradually appeared in the darkness over there, which was the light of the torch.

Could it be the big sedan chair we saw last night?

Lin Jue stretched his neck and stared closely at that side. As the torches approached, three figures appeared in everyone's sight.

This was not the paper-man wedding procession, but a witch. She and another old man were holding torches and holding a paper man, walking on both sides.

Among them was a figure wearing a hideous Nuo mask with black air billowing from it, which was obviously a strange weapon.

That old man should be the village Taoist priest, and could the guy in the middle be the god?

Lin Jue’s eyes were always on the masked figure. Could this guy be a god?

But why does it feel so weak?
"Why are you holding a paper doll at a wedding?"

The driver asked suspiciously, his voice a little loud.

This caused the villagers at the next table to say in dissatisfaction: "What a fuss! Those are the witch's boys and girls, treasures bestowed by the gods. Keep your voice down!"

"Hey, look at the dark circles around the eyes of those two paper figures. It's like someone drew on them and didn't wash them off." The female college student was a little confused: "Is this just for decoration? Are they deliberately drawing dark circles?"

Lin Jue, the instigator, was peeling melon seeds calmly. As the three people approached, the witch also noticed him, and a sinister expression suddenly appeared on her old face.

Yesterday, I was kind enough to help that guy get rid of bad luck, but he actually painted sunglasses on the boys and girls. Does he really not know what respect for the gods is?

I don’t know what she thought of, but the witch suddenly sneered, whispered a few words to the masked man beside her, and walked towards Lin Jue with a paper man.

Seeing the witch getting closer and closer, all the outsiders were shocked: "Oh my god! Why did you bring a paper figurine here?"

"That paper figure looks eerie. Is it really a treasure from the gods?"

"Why do I feel like that paper figure is looking at me? Isn't it taboo to add eyes to paper figures? I heard that paper figures with eyes painted on them will come alive."

The outsiders were visibly startled, and Lin Jue also showed a frightened expression, holding his backpack in front of him. The witch approached, holding the paper figurine, her eyes lingering on Lin Jue for a few seconds, forcing a gentle smile. "My little one wants to attend the wedding too. I see the other tables are full. Can he sit at your table?"

"A paper man is also going to attend the wedding?" The man in the jacket asked back, but when he saw the witch's murderous look, he immediately shut up.

The others also had stiff expressions. It was really hard to accept letting a paper man sit at the same table with them.

However, the witch has a very high status in the village. Although these outsiders are dissatisfied, no one dares to offend her.

"Aren't there still a lot of empty seats there?" Lin Jue pointed to the table next door.

"My baby wants to sit here." The witch's attitude was very tough. She directly stuffed the paper man into the empty seat next to Lin Jue and did not allow any refusal.

The old woman's purpose was very obvious. She just wanted the paper man to teach Lin Jue a lesson to avenge the fact that he had his sunglasses painted on him yesterday.

The witch gave Lin Jue a sinister smile and said, "I wish you a pleasant meal."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Lin Jue stared at her back, watching her return to the masked man, and with a flattering look on his face, he took her to the innermost seat and sat down.

Lin Jue's eyes followed the witch and he noticed that there was a small table on the far left of the witch's seat, which was far away from the divorce banquet.

And at the table sat the village guard. He sat alone, seemingly out of tune with the hustle and bustle next door, drinking alone.

Lin Jue wrote down the other person's location and planned to go find him after the wedding.

Finally, he turned his head and looked at the motionless paper man. He didn't know whether the paper man would enjoy his meal later, but the paper man would definitely have a good time. Sitting at this table to eat would be the paper man's most unforgettable memory.

The paper man sat there motionless, looking like an ordinary paper man, but Lin Jue saw that his scarlet eyeballs were slowly moving and looking towards him.

Lin Jue pulled out a plastic stool from the side and placed it between him and the paper man. At the same time, he put his travel bag on the stool and calmly unzipped it.

Because of the addition of a paper man, the atmosphere at the table became even quieter. No one spoke anymore. Their eyes were wandering, and they were either fiddling with melon seeds or checking their phones which had no signal at all.

Lin Jue sat far away from the paper man, seeming to be very afraid of it.

This made the paper man's mouth almost unable to suppress the smile, and his pupils were shining. This guy seemed to be excited because of Lin Jue's fear.

"Why do I feel like the paper man's eyes are moving?" The female college student glanced at the paper man and her face turned pale with fright.

"Don't scare me." The man in the jacket next to her tugged at her arm. "The wedding is about to start. Look, the groom is already on stage."

When Lin Jue heard this, he turned his head and looked at the stage. An ordinary-looking man walked onto the stage. He was wearing a red wedding suit with wide sleeves. He was the groom of this wedding.

However, there was no joy of a newlywed on his face, and he had a stern expression.

Come to think of it, being forced to marry someone you don't love, and having that person die because of it, leaving a child without a mother, is something that no one with a normal outlook on life would accept. It feels like indirectly killing someone. (End of this chapter)
