Daily life of civil servants in the prefectural government

In the end, Su Xiyan still didn't order No. [-] to stand up, always feeling like he was sorry for the puppet strings carefully tied on his body just to make him stand up like this.

Ignoring No. [-]'s dejected look and tail wilting, Su Xiyan stepped out cautiously.

"Grattling", there was a clear and crisp sound like joints twisting, and then they joined together.Those quiet puppets suddenly turned their heads at the same time as if some switch had been touched.

Their faces had exactly the same smiles, even the curvature of which hadn't changed, and their dark and living eyes were covered with a layer of rigidity and emptiness.

Even though he was mentally prepared, when he saw their faces, Su Xiyan's heart couldn't help but jump violently.

His eyes flicked across the face of the nearest unshaven man, and gradually turned back to see the appearance of each of them.Strangely familiar, Su Xiyan sighed in his heart, wondering if it was a coincidence that the dolls he saw after entering the reading room were all people he had seen before.

In other words, he had seen their information before.

That was the news about five or six years ago, the fire incident in the Dachi Library.Dachi Library is a municipal library, covering an area larger than that of Su Xiyan Junior High School. In addition to the books that were later put into the library, it also houses many precious cultural relics and ancient books.

At that time, the fire burned red all over the sky, fire trucks came one after another, and the rescue work lasted all night, but the library still could not be saved.The once glorious library became a piece of scorched earth, the outer walls of several buildings were burned to blackness, and almost all the books, including those carefully preserved ancient books, were burned, and several old professors threw themselves into the ruins and howled. It is embarrassing.

Su Xiyan also squatted in the library with his classmates while carrying a schoolbag to do homework. He can still remember that there was a green plant next to the seats where they often sat. There is a yellow flower, and the smell is quite fragrant.

The scent of flowers and ink is mixed together, smelling it can calm people's mood at once.

The flower can't last long, and the flower withered after a short time. Susiyan begged for it like an administrator and put it in his book. Sometimes, looking at the shriveled petals, it seemed that he could still smell the unique flower. fragrance.

Later, when he raised his head from the gloomy senior year of high school, the pot of green plants that had been told several times by the administrator how to bloom a flower was painted black together with the library.

These people sitting on the chairs were the dead who were carried out from the ruins of the library. There were a total of twelve people, and none of them was missing.

These people who had died in the fire were now smiling at him in an orderly manner, their mouths opened and closed, and everyone's voices overlapped, turning into a slightly distorted overlapping voice.

"Welcome to the reading club, please sit down."

There was an unpredictable sound from the bottom of the chair and the ground, some distance away from Su Xiyan and the others, facing the end of the meeting table of these puppets, the two empty seats were suddenly opened automatically.

Zhu Dilong walked over with a strange and stiff pace. On the wooden tray in his hand, the tea in the transparent glass was slowly sinking and sinking.

Only two chairs and two cups of tea were prepared, and everyone present knew which two they were going to invite.

Bai Yueying and her uncle took a covert look at the wooden frames around them, and immediately took out a few small stones that were as shiny as jade from among the last banners in the team.

"Pa", the sound of the stone falling on the ground caused Su Xiyan to turn his head slightly, just in time to see Zhang Qizhong bounce the last small stone into a place not far from his feet.That place is very close to He Chuguo's seat.

Cui Zhao muttered vaguely, Su Xiyan stood close to him, and clearly heard him say the word formation.Bai Yueying lowered her body and quietly leaned towards him a little bit.

"Brother Su, my uncle asked me to tell you that we can't handle the situation over there, but we still have the ability to protect ourselves. You don't have to worry about us at critical moments."

As she said, she quietly hid her fingers in the palm of her hand and tapped He Chuguo and the others, which meant that they would rescue He Chuguo and the others at that time. This meant that there was no need to worry about the hostages.

After all, Longhushan is a big school of Taoism, Su Xiyan is not surprised that they can save people with the bottom line, but...

He looked downcastly, tilted his head from time to time to secretly glance at him and He Han's No. [-], and shook his head slightly at Bai Yueying.

"Wait and stand a little further away, those behind the bookshelf are not vegetarian."

That's why they don't want to intervene in saving people, Bai Yueying had a surprised expression on her face, she looked worried but she didn't say much, she stepped back silently to discuss with her uncle and the others.

Because the two of them wanted to talk in a low voice, they couldn't help but get closer. Bai Yueying was not tall, and Su Xiyan lowered her head slightly when talking to her, and she seemed to be somewhat intimate and harmonious.

Cui Zhao felt like he had opened a seasoning store in his heart, with everything from sour to spicy, and he couldn't wait to separate the two of them as soon as they spoke.

Holding Su Xiyan's hand and walking to the edge of the empty chair, Da Ma sat up with a sword, without any fear, but with a sense of domineering like a bandit brother sitting in the first seat.

Su Xiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she saw that there was no dust on the chair, and sat down with her quite reassuringly.

The table made of solid wood has been polished and polished, and the surface is shiny, but some rough outlines can be faintly seen under the table top.Su Xiyan stretched out his finger and rubbed it slightly along the bottom of the table, some fine black particles were brought down by him, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and he really smelled a burnt smell.

Recalling the neat rows of desks and chairs in the self-study room of Dachi Library, Su Xiyan couldn't help frowning.

He frowned and thought about what to write, but before he could sort out his messy thoughts, the body of the person next to him suddenly trembled, accompanied by a low-pitched laughter, as if he had encountered something funny.

Su Xiyan looked up in a daze, only to realize that there was an extra book in Cui Zhao's hand at some point, and he flipped through the pages, regardless of whether the force would cause secondary damage to the fragile pages.

Su Xiyan probed to stop him, but after seeing the pictures and words in the book clearly, he fell silent.

On the yellowed paper, the Q version of the three little pigs in different clothes are gathering together, discussing what kind of house they should build to live in.In order to be suitable for children to read, the pinyin is also marked on the text.

Cui Zhao was shaking with a smile, holding a bookmark that was also yellowed under his fingertips. On the bookmark was a not-so-round pig's head and a crooked sentence drawn with a black pen.

"The big bad wolf is a big bad guy!"

Looking at the big words "Three Little Pigs" written on the cover, Su Xiyan cast her searching eyes on the puppet whose book was snatched away by Cui Zhao unceremoniously. With gray temples and a refined appearance, he did not change his posture after losing the book in his hand, and still maintained the posture of dragging the book.

Su Xiyan didn't expect that such a serious-looking puppet was holding such a childish storybook. Looking at the books held by other puppets, they seemed to be quite normal, at least they didn't bring pictures.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong. These puppets have been very quiet from the beginning until now, except for telling them to sit down, there is no other movement, as if they really have no other malicious intentions.But is this possible?

Looking at the puppets who turned their heads to stare at the two of them at some point, Su Xiyan decided to give up the plan of staying still and take the initiative to attack.

The width of the conference table is not particularly large. After sitting down, the distance between him and the puppet next to him is no more than half an arm away, and he can touch each other as soon as he reaches out.Su Xiyan estimated the positions of the silk threads wrapped around the doll, picked out a few more important ones, and reached out to grab them boldly.

Bai Yueying's uncle looked at it and almost cried out, can the puppet thread be caught casually?In addition to serving as blood vessels to control the actions of puppets, they also naturally carry the role of attack.Each puppet thread is extremely sharp, it is easy to blow hair and cut hair, and it is also very convenient to cut the human body.

In his opinion, if no one could stop him from reaching out his hand so recklessly to Su Xiyan, at least a few fingers would be lost from that hand.If those puppets smeared some poison on the thread again, Su Xiyan would be in danger.

The recognizable people from the Beast Sect were also very nervous, and frantically gave Su Xiyan winks, but he pretended not to see them all.Talking loudly and afraid of waking up those puppets, it would be a disaster for the uncle and nephew of the He family who were tied to the chair after a chug.

Amidst the frenzied gestures of those people's eyes cramping, Su Xiyan flicked a certain puppet string with her fingers naturally and briskly.Those straight silk threads that collapsed into a ball in an instant, trying to crazily strangle the things that entered their range, Su Xiyan let them twist into a ball, and quickly pulled his fingers bit by bit, the few silk threads that he liked were stiffened. Pull out a section from the body of the doll.

The parts in the puppet were pulled by him, making the sound of old gears grinding hard, and the smooth skin was pulled out into a lump. Seeing that the puppet was about to be dismantled by him, a cold His hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.

The corners of the mouth of the female doll, who had been motionless, suddenly grew wider.

"Little handsome guy, why are you tearing his bones?"

Her voice is charming and coquettish, she really sounds like a beautiful [-]-year-old girl, but the appearance of the doll is actually a middle-aged aunt, and she is a little fatter with her exposed arms.

Su Xiyan said in his heart, "A person should not be judged by his appearance", and the talisman in his hand had been quickly bounced out when the other party grabbed his wrist. He quickly slid his feet forward, and the whole person slid directly under the table.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk-"

The sound of sharp objects piercing through the wood rang out, and the sawdust flew. Su Xiyan closed his eyes to avoid those stinging debris, and knew in his heart that the back of his chair might have been trapped into a hornet's nest.

What he just saw in a hurry flashed through his mind. The book in the hand of the aunt doll was a tutorial book on knitting sweaters.It's good for my aunt's age, but not so nice when she wants to knit with everyone.

When Su Xiyan made a move, Cui Zhao was also there, and the sounds of flesh and blood were heard everywhere.When he slowly sat up from the hornet's nest chair, Cui Zhao's hand was stuck on the neck of the elegant puppet, and he could tear off the puppet's head with just a little force.

The other puppets stood up, holding their books tightly in their hands.

Only the elegant puppet that Cui Zhao was pinching, Su Xiyan and the aunt in front of him who was immobilized by the soul-fixing talisman were still sitting on the chair.The two sides confronted each other, and the tense atmosphere gradually permeated.

"Don't be impatient."

A somewhat hoarse male voice sounded, Su Xiyan thought it was the person behind the scenes who was about to make a move, but when he listened carefully, it was the elegant puppet who spoke unhurriedly.He seemed to have a very high status among those dolls, but with just one sentence, those dolls sat back down again, and even the eager posture behind the bookshelves was suppressed back.

The Ruya puppet let go of Cui Zhao's hand, and turned its eyes to Su Xiyan.

"We have no malicious intentions, we just want to ask you two to take a promotional photo for our book club."

What do you mean, can you treat them as fools?

But looking at the three He Hans who were also strangled by the neck, Cui Zhao let go.Anyway, it's not that difficult for him to pinch again, these puppets are just gadgets in his eyes, as long as he wants to, he can blast them away anytime and anywhere, even with this weird reading room.

However, if it is opened up, it is very likely that some difficult things will be awakened, and Cui Zhao is not willing to do so.Su Xiyan knew his concerns, and seeing the formation that had almost formed over there, he simply gave up the chair that was almost tied up like a hedgehog, and stood up.

"How do you want to shoot?" If you don't have any tools to shoot, why not hand-paint a pair of stick figures for them?

The elegant puppet's eyes fell on Su Xiyan's mobile phone, and there was a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"There is a special existence in your mobile phone, just take a photo and ask him to send it to us."

Siri still has this function?Can it realize Bluetooth wireless transmission with the puppet?

Su Xiyan was a little surprised and took out her mobile phone, clicked on the camera function, only to find that the entire screen instantly turned dark, and a row of small white characters slowly drifted across.

[I don't want to send them a signal, what if there is a virus? 】

Siri, who has always been well-behaved and obedient, rarely loses his temper, and refuses to answer this strange Bluetooth signal. In the end, Bai Yueying contributed her collection with heartache. The girl even carried a small Polaroid in her magical bag. Well, the male compatriots present couldn't help but fell silent, deeply curious about what else was in Bai Yueying's storage bag?

Pocket-sized Polaroids can only print pocket-sized photos. Su Xiyan asked if she wanted it, so Kacha took a photo for them.He carefully avoided He Han and the others, and only took pictures of the desktop. When he handed the photo to the Ruya puppet, he saw a trace of regret in his eyes.

What is he regretting?

"Thank you," the photo was gently wiped by the Ruya puppet, "In return, please stay here, and we will treat you well."

The word "hospitality" hadn't been dropped yet, and the dolls immediately rioted and started to move their hands.Whether it was sitting at the table, or those hiding behind the bookshelf, the twisting and clicking joints rushed up.

No. [-] jumped up at the same time as they got up, and the puppet strings tied to his body were as fragile as noodle threads, and he threw them on the ground as soon as he took them off.

His movements were too fast and decisive, and when he saw the puppets of them being knocked off their heads and thrown to the ground, they still hadn't realized what had just happened.It was too late to tear off the puppet strings on He Han and the others, No. [-] directly resisted with the person and the chair, and jumped in at the last second when the formation rune just lit up.

With a "bang", the table was lifted directly.

Cui Zhao bravely lifted up the table and knocked over the dolls on one side, and then picked up another doll, completely ignoring his struggling and fierce attack, and directly regarded him as a human-shaped sledgehammer, swinging the other dolls. The dolls hit a row again.

The dolls probably have never encountered such a fierce "human", with rough skin and thick flesh to an unbelievable level.Their attacks didn't even scratch a piece of oily skin, but they were smashed and turned on their backs.

Su Xiyan hid behind Cui Zhao, holding a handful of Vajra Talismans in his hand, and smiled slightly, whether or not he hid his merit.

The melee between the two sides lasted for a while, raising a pile of dust on the ground, and the air carried that dull and choking smell.Several rows of bookshelves were pushed down, and the neatly arranged books fell to the ground, raising a cloud of even bigger dust.

In the swirling gray fog, Su Xiyan heard the elegant puppet shout: "It's time."

It was like being suddenly drawn to a rest, and all the chaos was suddenly forcibly stopped, whether it was a human or a doll.They were all stiff and maintained the posture just now. Several opponents were entangled and wrestled because they were fighting too fiercely. At this moment, they stopped so close that they could almost see the pores on each other's faces clearly.

This is not a self-inflicted stop, but the dense silk threads that spread out from the wall and the ground, and they are entangled and wrapped around people.I don't know when they have secretly invaded their bodies, and even the formations can't isolate them, and some have even broken their skins, bending and entangled to no one knows where they went.

Bai Yueying's uncle was suspended in mid-air, her wrist trembled, and the mahogany sword fell directly to the ground with a crisp bang.

He wanted to struggle, but he couldn't move at all, he could only let those cold silk threads wrap around his body, slowly invading his body as if consciously.His face was full of despair, ready to close his eyes and wait for death.

This is one of the reasons why they are so afraid of puppet masters. A powerful puppet master, the one who went astray as Su Xiyan met before is not counted. In an instant, control a person's body and control their life and death.

This kind of puppeteer rarely appears, but as soon as it appears, it is a disaster.No one wants other people to control them, let alone wake up to find themselves turned into a puppet.

They thought they were going to face a group of weird puppets this time, but they didn't expect that the reading room seemed to have turned into an inhuman horror puppeteer.

The silence and waiting just now were all to let their prey slowly relax their vigilance, and then capture them thoroughly.

They are over.

Bai Yueying's uncle was full of despair, and was about to close his eyes and wait for death.But in the next second, he suddenly felt a gust of wind passing in front of him briskly, and the silly-looking young bodyguard who had been following He Chuguo suddenly burst out with powerful force, tearing all the silk threads in front of him like a piece of paper , rushed all the way, then squatted obediently beside Su Xiyan, and shouted loudly.

"Owner!"

Seeing his eager eyes, Su Xiyan couldn't help reaching out and rubbing his head like a puppy.No. [-] raised his head and rubbed his head, the smile on his face was very bright. If he was not very sure about the internal structure of this guy, Cui Zhao might have suspected that he was a dog monster.

Chick, the demon dog is not as fast as his tail.

Cui Zhao's face was full of displeasure, but he could only cross his arms and watch Su Xiyan reach out and press the back of No. [-]'s neck.

A big soft hole suddenly appeared in that place, and the layer of artificial skin was peeled off, and inside was a layer of pitch-black iron shoulder blades and a bunch of dense puppet threads.

The Ruya puppet has been holding the book with a smile on its face, but at this moment it couldn't help but lose its voice.

"You are also a puppet? How is this possible!"

No. [-] raised his face slightly complacently, and rubbed against Su Xiyan's hand again with a happy expression on his face.

"Master, is he jealous that he is not as good-looking as me?"

Su Xiyan looked at his familiar face of a strong man, fell silent for a moment, and reached out to pat his head.

"Hey, you are the most advanced, scientific and high-end puppet, and you have no common language with that kind of defective product."

"kindness!"

Su Xiyan took out a jade-white bone, which was the last part of the hungry ghost bone, and also the most essential part.As soon as it was taken out, those exposed bone spurs swayed excitedly twice, as if they felt a part of it contained in No. [-]'s body. When Su Xiyan tucked it under No. [-]'s neck, it didn't take any effort at all. A battery went in.

He patted No. [-] on the head with a smile.

"Go, my waiting time has come."

The Ruya puppet raised its head in a daze, and in the reflection of his eyes, a monster tore off his outer skin and rushed fiercely into the crowd of puppet.
