Sick beauty loses horse in thriller game

Even though the two shadow puppets were rolling on the ground in pain, it was still unable to stop the acid on their bodies from continuing to corrode them.

"Tsk, this water gun is quite useful."

Jiang Lai observed it and felt very satisfied with the effect of the prop. Then he picked up the water gun again and aimed it at the other shadow puppets.

Soon, all the dozen or so shadow puppets and the four ape monsters that could transform into human form were dealt with one by one by Jiang Lai.

Of course, she would not forget the task issued by the system, and deliberately left behind three shadow puppets to interrogate the truth.

"Xiao Lai, we have already asked those villagers." Miss Yan Yurong told Jiang Lai, "They don't know anything. They just heard someone shouting, telling them that a shadow play troupe has come to the village and invited them to watch the shadow play."

"Also, the troupe doesn't want any money, as long as they can provide some food for the troupe members."

In times like these, there were few entertainment options available to villagers.

When they heard that the troupe did not charge any money and only wanted some dry food such as mixed flour buns and flatbreads, many people brought their families and came to the simple theater to watch the shadow play.

At first, the gong and drum sounds, the singing of the artists, and the lifelike performances of the shadow puppets were indeed wonderful and very attractive. But the situation soon changed.

The villagers felt that the shadow puppet performances were becoming more and more bizarre and scary.

And the shadow puppet projected on the screen became bigger and bigger and more realistic!

Later, those shadows actually separated from the curtain, as if they could attack them!

The villagers were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were shaking all over.

They wanted to stand up and run away immediately, but unexpectedly, their legs became as limp as mud and they just wouldn't obey them at all!

Just when those villagers thought they were doomed this time, Jiang Lai suddenly appeared and saved those villagers with extremely miraculous and superb means, making those villagers extremely grateful to her.

The villagers were very grateful to Jiang Lai and naturally told him everything they knew.

Unfortunately, they had no idea what was going on with the shadow play troupe performing in the village.

After Jiang Lai learned about the situation through Miss Yan Yurong's retelling, he handed the remaining three shadow puppets over to Miss Yan Yurong and Miss Geng Fengchun for interrogation.

However, the interrogation had not yet begun. When the young ladies actually came into contact with the shadow puppets, they immediately discovered the problem.

"Xiao Lai, we discovered that... these puppets... have no souls or consciousness..."

It has no soul, but it can move on its own. It can control the ape monster to manipulate the shadow puppets and use silk threads to attack people...

Even Jiang Lai, who had seen all kinds of strange things, felt at this moment that those shadow puppets were full of incredible aspects.

But then again, even if skilled craftsmen can give souls to shadow puppets through their hands and skills, that kind of soul should also refer to the soul at the artistic level.

Things like shadow puppets are not supposed to have souls or consciousness of their own, unless they have become spirits like those ape monsters.

"Oh, this is not good." Miss Geng Fengchun frowned and said, "Without soul and consciousness, they naturally won't answer our questions. So how should we interrogate them?"

"Mom, how about we just burn down this harmful ghost theater?" Jixiang said.

Just now he observed that many villagers, uncles, aunts, and children, were almost possessed by those strange shadow puppets.

The little guy is now feeling very angry at the shadow puppets that casually hurt kind and innocent villagers.

Jiang Lai's mind moved and he suddenly laughed.

"Okay. Such a crude, totally unbeautiful, and harmful stage should not exist in this world. We might as well burn it down and let it perform shadow puppet shows in hell!"

As Jiang Lai spoke, he took out the Fire Phoenix Feather Fan and said, "Tsk tsk, these curtains, the stage, and the bamboo poles used to build the stage are no different from dry firewood. They will burn easily if they are lit on fire."

As she spoke, she swung out a flame.

The flame, like a ferocious fire dragon, began to circle around the ghost theater, inside and outside.

The scorching temperature and the crackling flames were all terrifying.

Just as the sweeping fire dragon was sweeping towards the old, yellowish-looking curtain inside the stage, the curtain suddenly let out a shrill scream!

Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows.

Who would have thought that the mastermind behind this ghost shadow play troupe was not the transformed ape monsters, nor the shadow puppets that would attack people with silk threads, but... the dirty, inconspicuous, old curtain hanging there!

Tsk, who could have imagined that a piece of curtain could become a spirit!

Jiang Lai was just thinking this in his heart, when suddenly a very gentle and mournful singing voice floated out from the curtain.

What surprised Jiang Lai was that it turned out to be a song sung by a young daughter expressing her gratitude to her father after his unfortunate death!

The singing of that opera was very sad, and one could even hear the crying tone.

Jiang Lai was listening with a frown on his face, but unexpectedly, little Jixiang suddenly ran over and hugged Jiang Lai's legs.

"Mom, wuwuwu... this song... this song is bad, it makes Jixiang so sad!"

Jiang Lai hurriedly bent down, picked up the little guy and coaxed him.

"If Jixiang doesn't like it, then we won't listen to it." She comforted him gently and wiped the tears from the face of the soft little guy in her arms.

“Wuwuwu… I don’t know why, but when Jixiang hears that voice, he starts to think of Mommy leaving Jixiang and that he will never see Mommy again. And then… Jixiang feels so sad…”

"No. I won't leave you..."

As Jiang Lai was speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong!

She clearly opened and closed her mouth and said the above words to Jixiang, but she heard another man's voice, saying the same words to her.

"No. I won't leave you..."

The man's voice said.

What surprised Jiang Lai even more was that... the man's voice actually came from behind the curtain inside the stage!

Jiang Lai then shifted his attention from Jixiang to the curtain, but saw...
