Nightmare Attack

Chapter 1056
In less than 5 minutes, Zhang Junyu completed the search and stood in front of the house where the paper figurines were stored. He did not find any trace of the missing woman, which made him feel even more uneasy.

The door of the room was ajar, and there was no candle light inside, only a burst of cold moonlight pouring in through the gap.

From Zhang Junyu's point of view, the moonlight just reflected on the profiles of a row of paper figurines, making their faces even paler.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Junyu slowly pushed the door open, and the old door hinge made a strange creaking sound, which made his teeth sour.

The room was not as dark as expected, filled with a slightly pungent smell of paint, Zhang Junyu twitched his nose slightly, and under the cover of the smell of paint, he keenly smelled a stale smell.

This made him instantly alert, because the smell...he was familiar with it.

It's the smell of freshly decomposed corpses.

But here are all paper figurines, could it be... there is a dead body hidden among these paper figurines?
Zhang Junyu played the role of pathfinder in the entire tomb robbery team, and he was very vigilant, and his experience and psychological quality were absolutely incomparable. After a few breaths, he calmed down and began to squint his eyes to observe.

Behind a pillar at the entrance, there is a wooden ladder, and a white lantern is inserted in the middle of the ladder. The lantern is conspicuous, but it is extinguished.

Look carefully, there is still a small piece of bamboo tube-shaped thing standing under the ladder.

It might not be clear to others, but Zhang Junyu immediately recognized that it was a fire pocket.

There are fire notes here, and it seems that they want them to light the lanterns here.

Zhang Junyu hesitated for a moment, but still didn't do it. First, he could barely see clearly from the room now, and second, he remembered the sentence that beat the watchman—be careful of the candle.

He moved slowly and walked inside.

He had been here during the day, but the feeling was completely different from now. The paper figures around him looked at him. Against the dark background, the faces of the paper figures became more and more exaggerated and grotesque, as if they could come alive at any time.

"You can't choose a standing paper man, because you can't see the soles of your feet, so you can only choose a hanging one."

Before coming, the three of Zhang Junyu had a discussion, and everyone agreed that the way out this time lies in the hanging paper figurines, and they can only be female paper figurines.

He has half an hour, that is, an hour, and counting the journey and the delay just now, he still has at least half an hour.

There is enough time to find the paper figurine, then paint the nails, and take the paper figurine out.

The room is not very big, and most of Zhang Junyu's attention was focused on the top of his head. In a few minutes, he walked around from the beginning to the end. After walking around, he made a new discovery.

A total of 44 paper figurines were hung up, and 17 of them were female paper figurines.

Among the 17 female paper figurines, those with clean soles and no mud were just right, exactly 6.

At the moment Zhang Junyu was determined, he knew that this time he chose the right direction, and these paper figurines were the way to survive. As for why there were six, he could probably guess.

6 of the 5 female paper figurines are safe, which corresponds to the way of life for the 5 of them this time, and as for the extra 6th...it is undoubtedly a ghost!
If someone is unlucky and picks out the ghost, there is no need to even think about it. If you paint the ghost with red nails, it is basically the same as running to the palace of the king of hell and arguing to be reincarnated.

After having a general idea, Zhang Junyu quickly returned and carefully looked at the 6 female paper figurines. The 6 female paper figurines were of different sizes and shapes, but it was really impossible to tell what was wrong with just looking at them with the eyes.

Zhang Junyu moved closer and smelled it with his nose, trying to identify which paper figurines smelled like rotting corpses, but to his surprise, each one had the smell of rotting corpses.

Just around the corner, there was a pot of scarlet paint, which looked like blood in such an environment.

Zhang Junyu knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he made up his mind, walked to the door, picked up the torch, opened it and blew on it gently, a weak flame rose up, and then lit the candle in the lantern.

Holding the lantern, Zhang Junyu slowly approached these female paper figurines, and weird shadows appeared on the wall one by one. The light and shadow intersected like a group of demons dancing wildly, but Zhang Junyu's hand was steady until he walked into the corner...his pupils shrank sharply.

With the light of the lantern, he finally discovered the anomaly, behind a female paper figurine... there was no shadow!
A female paper figurine with clean feet.

This is it!
Zhang Junyu immediately extinguished the lantern, branding the girl as dangerous in his heart, turned around and picked a normal girl who was quite far away.

After confirming the goal, he moved the ladder quickly, put it on the pillar beside him, picked up the brush in the paint basin, climbed up the ladder, stabilized his mind, and began to paint the nails of the paper figurine.

One, two... In fact, the handwork of the female paper figurines is relatively rough, each one is as thick as a mallet, but Zhang Junyu is very serious.

After finishing the painting, I waited for a few seconds and saw that the paper girl did not respond, then slowly let the paper girl down from the rope, hugged the paper girl, and left the room.

It wasn't until he stepped over the threshold that Zhang Junyu was completely relieved.

The watchman said that everything is safe and sound outside the door, as long as the paper doll is taken out of the house, it will be considered a success.

Naturally, it is impossible to take the paper doll back. To be honest, looking at the paper doll with bright red nails, Zhang Junyu felt uncomfortable. After thinking for a while, he put the paper doll by the wall outside the house and stood leaning against it.

And he sat on the steps, waiting in the night wind.

Not long after, a familiar sound of clappers sounded, Zhang Junyu let out a sigh of relief, stood up, looked back, and walked towards the small courtyard along the way he came.

On the way, he met A Biao who came over, and the two had a brief conversation, and A Biao roughly understood the mystery of the paper man's house.

"After confirming the paper figurine, how long will it take to paint the nails and move the paper figurine out?" A Biao asked in broken Mandarin.

"If everything goes well, 10 minutes is enough." Zhang Junyu recalled.

"Understood." A fierce look flashed in A Biao's eyes, and after he finished speaking, he strode towards the house of the paper maker.

Zhang Junyu stared at A Biao's back, and he was quite afraid of this man in his heart. He was not a complete professional. It was said that he used to be a mercenary, and he lived a life of licking blood with knives. In the team, he only listened to Jia Jinliang's words.

He had heard a lot of rumors about this person, and the most suspenseful one was that this person killed more than a dozen mercenaries with guns with his bare hands. As for the truth or falsehood, he didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask.

Yu Chengmu met him face to face, and said that this person was killed seven times, and he was extremely vicious.

Yu Chengmu didn't understand how Jia Jinliang was able to recruit such a person. Seeing that the relationship between the two of them didn't look like a simple money transaction, there must be a big chance.
