Daily life of civil servants in the prefectural government

"Roar--"

There was a strange roar that didn't sound like a human voice, and No. [-] leaned forward slightly. In the shocked eyes of everyone, his back suddenly swelled up, and the white and fine bone spurs spread, turning into eight slender long bone spears.

After growing to a certain length, the bone spears suddenly folded downwards, and they stretched out thinly. There was a layer of fine barbs growing on the white bone spears, and the sharp and cold light of the thorns released threats silently.The sharpest ends of the bone spears were pierced on the ground, and they forcefully lifted No. [-]'s body halfway in the air, while the remaining ones stood beside No. [-] like huge arms, firmly guarding his safety. .

The image of the simple and honest strong man before was gone forever, No. [-] tilted his head, and licked his lips with his slightly long tongue.A pair of vertical pupils like cold-blooded predators are full of salivation.

He Chuguo happened to meet those eyes, and his legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground again.He Han happened to be behind him, so he picked him up and pulled him aside.

"Uncle, take it easy. Your legs and feet are not very good. If you bump and bump, be careful to draw out the old cold legs. Let me tell you, when I told you to run just now, you had to run quickly and insist on pulling What am I going to do? I have brothers to cover me and I will be fine..."

He Chuguo had a sullen face, and managed to recover from the chilling atmosphere, and his nephew's whispering made his brain swell again.He hesitated for a while between explaining and telling his nephew to shut up, and decisively chose to slap He Han on the back of the head.

"Aiyo," He Han called out, feeling aggrieved as he touched his head. "I don't care about you..."

He Chuguo tugged at him, motioning him to shut up, and he reached out to fish for a hand, only to find that the weird silk threads wrapped around his body had been untied at some point.Not only that, but their uncle and nephew were the only two ordinary people in this group of people who were not tied up except for Su Xiyan and the others.

"What did you do?"

"I told you a long time ago that I have a secret weapon," He Hanquietly took out a small figure the size of a palm from his trouser pocket, and made it into a little girl with black double ponytails and a short skirt at his request. The girl held a pair of delicate scissors in her hand.

At first, He Chuguo didn't understand what the little girl was useful for, but when he saw her swiftly cutting a bunch of puppet threads, his eyes lit up immediately.The two of them kept their voices extremely low, and after discussing a few words in whispers, they immediately crawled to the side of those Taoists who were tied up, and started to cut the thread.

On the other side, as if feeling threatened, those puppet lines that had been huddled quietly everywhere suddenly rioted. They frantically rushed towards No. [-] from all directions, and pounced on his body one after another.Looking at that posture, I can't wait to tie No. [-] into a rice dumpling.

No. [-] sneered, and the eight slender bone spurs danced at an unexpected speed, and in a short while completely subdued those dense puppet threads for his own use.

Not only that, but he also wove the threads of those dolls without any hassle. Looking at the delicate structure gradually formed around him, the refined dolls were silent for a moment and suddenly opened the book in his hand.

[The first little pig met an old woman carrying a bundle of straw, and said to the old woman, "Grandma, please give me your straw. I want to build a house with it."]

As soon as the word "house" was dropped, the puppet lines that were almost completely controlled by No. [-] suddenly struggled again, and more than half of the puppet lines retracted, slowly outlining the appearance of a house around those dolls.No matter what tasks approach this house, they will be attacked in an instant. He used these puppet lines to shape a defensive position with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

In response to this, No. [-] responded by suddenly throwing out a bone spur, which easily pierced through the defense layer of the house, and drew a puppet from the inside and pulled it in front of him.

That puppet was the one that attacked Su Xiyan before. She was pierced through the abdomen by a bone spur, and the whole figure was like a pierced caterpillar, dancing and struggling.

No. [-] completely ignored her struggle, pulled her in front of him, aimed at the head and bit off without hesitation.

With a "click", someone closed their eyes subconsciously, but the image of splashing red and white liquid did not appear.The auntie puppet was still struggling vigorously, a small hole had been bitten out of her head by No. [-], and along the hole, he greedily devoured those pitch-black and precise substances bit by bit.

"Eating begins."

As if some terrible switch had been turned on, No. [-] turned into a crazy hungry ghost, tore off the parts of the doll, and swallowed her whole body.

His strong belly bulged slightly, and he was still not satisfied. He scanned the dolls in front of him with his eyes, and the bone spur struck out, and grabbed another doll from the "house" opposite.

To ordinary people, the horror house that is about to die at touch is really just a fragile straw house to No. [-]. As long as he wants, he can easily capture the dolls in the room.

The puppets shrank and hid together. They were not human beings, they didn't have a human body, but they also had human souls. Even though they had been honed to such an extent that they almost forgot their memories of being human, they still knew fear.The Taoist people who were quietly unlocked also looked at each other, no one stood up to speak without understanding, and in the silent space, only the horrible chewing sound could be heard gradually descending slowly.

Su Xiyan stood behind No. [-], his brows were slightly frowned.

Watching the puppet he made suppress the whole process, his first reaction was not joy, but worry.

A pair of arms suddenly appeared on the waist, Cui Zhao naturally hugged Su Xiyan into his arms, and then knocked his head on his shoulder.

"Why are you unhappy?"

Without waiting for Su Xiyan to answer, he continued speaking on his own.

"Using the hungry ghost bone as the cornerstone, adding the genes of spiders and pythons, it's quite an amazing idea, he will be a very good weapon."

Cui Zhao's arms were very hot, and the hairy head next to his neck was steaming.Su Xiyan pushed his arm away a little irritably, her eyes kept looking at No. [-]'s ferocious back at this time.

"He's a failure."

"what?"

"I said, he's a failure."

Su Xiyan repeated it again, her eyes turned to No. [-]'s still flat abdomen, and her expression eased a little.

"When I made him, I just relied on an immature idea that I had conceived a long time ago. I took the materials that were available at the time and spent a few hours to make him. He is not even considered elaborate. The product produced, he is a failure, or he is only a semi-finished product."

"Semi-finished product?" Cui Zhao rolled these three words in his mouth, thinking of the things that old man Zhang has been studying for more than ten years, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"You didn't use souls when you made him?"

"The dolls in my hands won't use that kind of stuff as materials," Su Xiyan said with a flat expression, but the arrogance in his voice couldn't be concealed at all.

When he was a teenager, he was chased and beaten up half a mountain by an old Taoist priest in order to study dolls. That's how the old Taoist priest scolded him at that time.

"Boy, you think about those dolls all day long, have you ever thought that every time you make one of those things, you need a soul. You want to deceive this kind of evil thing that uses living things as materials. Is the master destroying the ancestor?!"

The boy who was beaten all over his head back then did not forget to yell backwards while running away: "Stinky old man, don't talk nonsense, you just want to be a puppet, so why did you deceive your master and destroy your ancestors? What I made by Su Xiyan I will never use the soul as a material!"

The old Taoist expressed his appreciation for his courage, and then punished him to do half of the Olympiad. In retrospect, he can still recall the despair of scratching his head but not being able to solve it.

However, he still did what he said.

"Hungry ghost bones are originally the things of ghosts. In terms of composition, they should be similar to souls. In my imagination, as long as there is enough yin energy and aura as a guide, dolls can be made. Facts have proved that my The idea was successful, but he hasn't succeeded yet..."

Su Xiyan didn't say any more, and his worried eyes let out all his unfinished thoughts.

Cui Zhao understood what he meant. A puppeteer needs to use human souls to make dolls, and what he is looking for is actually just two words.

Sanity.

Only dolls with human souls can be agile, which is the biggest difference between puppet masters and ordinary dolls.Cui Zhao didn't know how Su Xiyan made No. [-] have that kind of extremely high spiritual intelligence before, but judging from the current situation, he has obviously been controlled by the three violent materials in his body.

If he can't wake up in time, he will eventually be controlled by the hungry ghost bone to become a monster that only knows how to eat. At the same time, because of the spider and python genes in his body, he will have extremely strong attack capabilities.

He will become a very good weapon, but he cannot become the perfect puppet in Su Xiyan's heart, so he calls him a failure.

Suddenly, Cui Zhao nibbled on the small earlobe lightly.

Su Xiyan trembled all over, and the talisman paper in her hand almost couldn't hold back Cui Zhao's face.He tried to push Cui Zhao away, but the strength of someone cheating made him unable to do it at all.

"I know how to make him perfect," Cui Zhao whispered in Su Xiyan's ear, successfully making him stop struggling.

"What did you say?" Su Xiyan's voice was uncertain.

"I said, I have a way to make him perfect, but you have to coax me."

Su Xiyan: ...

He looked at Cui Zhao, who was full of confidence and said the word coaxing me without hesitation, and suddenly thought in his heart whether he should not show Cui Zhao so many cat videos.

When he said this, did he ever consider whether he is now a human body or a cat body?

Cui Zhao glanced over strangely, no matter whether it is a human body or a cat body, he is the same him, he has not changed at all, why is he embarrassed?Humans are weird.

When it comes to coaxing him, Su Xiyan subconsciously touches his pocket, and when he goes out, he always brings some cat snacks that he made himself, just to prevent the current situation.It is not uncommon for Cui Zhao to turn into a cat to hide and act coquettishly, but now when he touches it, he feels nothing.

Only then did he remember that he had just returned from the hot spring villa last time, and he hadn't had time to make new snacks yet.The old snacks have been eaten up, and there is no time to replenish them. Now he has nothing to eat here.

Cui Zhao knew what he wanted to do when he saw his movements. Although the snacks were delicious, he wanted more than just these.He leaned closer on purpose, pinched the red earlobe that he had just bitten off.

"What I want is not snacks, please use another way to coax me."

Another way to coax?

Su Xiyan was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly, as if she was so lucky, she leaned over and touched Cui Zhao's cheek lightly.

Cui Zhao froze in place, her fair cheeks quickly changed color, like a ripe tomato, flushed red.He opened his mouth, he couldn't speak...

He swears that he just wanted to take advantage of something, such as rubbing Su Xiyan's flushed cheeks, but he really didn't expect that he would...

Suddenly bumping into a big one, Cui Zhao froze on the spot, unable to say anything in a panic, only staring at Su Xiyan in a daze.On the contrary, Su Xiyan, who was a relative, was quite calm. He tried his best to suppress the astonishing heat rushing up from his ears, and stretched out his hand to Cui Zhao.

"What about things?"

A delicate little jade bottle was stuffed into his hand, and when he unplugged it and smelled it, a scent like orchid and musk deer filled the air.Just a light pass over the tip of his nose lifted his spirits, and the problems that had troubled him for several days were suddenly cleared up.

Looking inside, what was contained in the small jade bottle was a drop of white ointment, the weight was very small but the weight in the hand was not light.Su Xiyan had already inquired about those treasures of heaven and earth that could open up the mind, and now that he sees them, there are still some that he can't recognize.

"Emperor Ointment!"

Emperor Liuye is the enlightenment holy object of the monster clan.Only on the night of the fifteenth day of the seventh month every 60 years, the moonlight is shining brightly, and the emperor liquid containing the essence of the sun and the moon descends from the moonlight.If the monsters could eat it, they would be able to increase their cultivation for at least a thousand years overnight.But this Emperor Ointment is also extremely difficult to obtain. The Emperor Ointment contained in Yuehua is only such a few strands, so it is extremely difficult to collect.

Moreover, there is only a moment for Emperor Liuye to appear. This is a gift from heaven and earth to make up for the difficulty of turning all things into essences. Even if it is necessary to collect it, it will be appropriate.So despite the fact that there is only such a drop in this vial, it may take hundreds of years to collect them all.

Su Xiyan didn't expect that Cui Zhao would give him the emperor's juice. You must know that even if it is in the underworld, it is a treasure that is in short supply. Few people are willing to give this kind of thing to others at will.

He stared at Cui Zhao for a while, then turned around and shouted number one as if nothing had happened.

The chewing sound stopped immediately, No. [-] was holding a puppet body that he gnawed off most of it in his hand, and after a few seconds, he slowly turned his head to look at Su Xiyan.

"come over."

No. [-] paused, this time he stared at Su Xiyan for a longer time, so long that others might think that he would not be obedient.But he still passed by, and slowly slid down along the exquisite spider web he had already woven, and his whole body was suspended above Su Xiyan.

"Lord, master..."

He yelled vaguely, and seemed to be chewing something in his mouth.When Su Xiyan opened the bottle containing Emperor Ointment and handed it up, his eyes lit up and he jumped down immediately.He bit the beautiful little jade bottle, and swallowed the whole bottle into his stomach in one gulp.

Su Xiyan: ...

He didn't dare to turn his head to look at Cui Zhao, that bottle was made of thousands of years of warm chalcedony, and it was just right to hold this kind of rare natural treasure.The bottle itself is also a very rare treasure, and now it is swallowed by No. [-], the guy who swallowed it whole.

Fortunately, Di Liujue produced an effect quickly, a lump of red appeared on No. [-]'s face, and the face of a strong man from Zhang Guoren became a little distorted.

He looked at Su Xiyan stupidly, and suddenly shouted "Master is the best", then turned his head and climbed onto the spider web, and plunged into the straw house opposite. He used the eight bone spurs as if they were eight skewers. After accidentally stabbing someone, he turned his head and stuffed it into his own mouth.

Looking at the cruel eating, even if Su Xiyan knew in his heart that he needed to absorb more power for evolution, he couldn't help being suspicious.The feeling of one mouthful, is it a failure?

There were not many puppets in the reading room, and after being eaten by No. [-] like eating skewers, the number of puppets suddenly became scarce.Seeing that there were not many companions around him, the Ruya puppet's expression became even uglier.

He then built gorse flower's house again, but all failed.His efforts were like those of the first two of the three little pigs, in vain sending his companion into mouth number one.

But neither Su Xiyan nor anyone else felt that this was the end.

Before the storybook in Ruya's hand was finished, the last third pig among the three little pigs still saw through the scheme of the big bad wolf and succeeded in killing the big bad wolf in the end.

I don't know whether the brick house he finally built can successfully defeat the big bad wolf "No. [-]".Su Xiyan expressed silence on this question, he has been waiting for someone, dolls cannot be produced naturally, they must have a producer.

Judging from the current situation, if that elegant puppet wants to do something, then he must rely on the power of his producer, otherwise he can only be reduced to No. [-] food.

Soon, the Ruya puppet opened the last few pages of the storybook.

[The third little pig met a farmer pulling a cart of bricks, and he said to the farmer, please give me the bricks, I want to use them to build a house. 】

[So, the brick house was built. 】

Dust suddenly flew all over the sky, except for those puppet strings, except for those quiet dolls, the other thing that existed the most in this library suddenly started to move.

There was a dense sound of turning pages, and those yellowed books piled up next to Su Xiyan and the others one by one.That's right, the brick house this time was not used to protect the elegant dolls. He used this "brick house" or a study room to imprison everyone including No. [-].

An old and deep voice sounded in his ears, he seemed extremely reluctant, but he still helped the Ruya puppet.

Feeling the trembling ground, Su Xiyan was not surprised to realize the fact that this reading room is also alive.He has the same consciousness as the teaching building outside, but they are different.

With the aid of the strength of the reading room, the brick building was as hard as iron, and his four sides shrank suddenly, frantically shrinking the space, trying to squeeze all of them into meatloaf.That kind of pure irresistible power is frightening. When others are trying to resist, Su Xiyan and his corner look a little strange.

No. [-] was hanging on the spider web, gnawing on the leftover food happily, Cui Zhao stood there and was distracted, Su Xiyan... seemed to be holding a wild flower in a daze?

Bai Yueying recognized the wildflower in Su Xiyan's hand, it was a small yellow wildflower they saw on the weeds in the school playground before.It wasn't pretty or smelly, but it was full of vitality, and it was the only bright spot in this dead campus.

Su Xiyan and the others stood too far to the side, and they would be hurt by the wall soon. Bai Yueying was about to call them over, but she saw Su Xiyan suddenly squatting down, gently lifted a certain book that made up the wall, and put the A small flower was caught in it.

"A gift for you, I hope you like it."

The trembling of the wall suddenly stopped, and Bai Yueying, who witnessed the whole process, was in a daze. Could it be that their current crisis can be easily overcome because of this little flower?

In the next second, she felt a blackness before her eyes, and her body was thrown out like weightless, and landed on a cold ground.

Su Xiyan was sent over by an unusually gentle force. He knelt down and picked up the newspaper that was stuffed into his hands at some point.

There was a thick burnt yellow on the faded newspaper, but the writing on it could still be seen clearly.On the top of the newspaper, there is a large line of words.

[The truth about the house on fire in the Dachi Library is revealed, there are pictures and the truth! 】

We are all deeply saddened by the time that has passed since that catastrophic fire event.According to the urgent report sent by the reporter in front, we finally know the truth of the fire in a surveillance route that was fortunately not destroyed.

The dozens of corpses carried out of the burning house as victims were actually the arsonists!

They were not employees of the library, nor did they have the keys to the library. They sneaked into the library during the closing hours and held a cult ceremony. During the ceremony, they accidentally started a fire.

They destroyed a batch of precious historical relics!

……

Another thing wrapped in the newspaper is two photo ID photos placed together.One is that elegant man's face, and the other is the face of the principal of the school that Su Xiyan had seen in the memory of the class leader.

In the ID photo, the relationship between the two of them should be brothers.

...this is really a big discovery.

Su Xiyan was thinking about putting the two ID photos together, and was about to take a closer look, when a scream suddenly broke the silence around him.The lights of the flashlights lit up intensively, and the people who had just shaken off the sense of weightlessness cast their gazes over immediately.

Bai Yueying fell limply to the ground. With the help of her companions, she barely straightened her body. Where she was sitting just now, there was a white bone lying quietly.The skull head was accidentally hit by Bai Yueying's arm, and it rolled away far away with a grunt. The two dark eye sockets were in stark contrast to the surrounding white bones.

It hit an edge and made a crisp sound like metal clashing.

The light of the flashlight gradually moved up, revealing an iron door covered with rust and blood. On the top of the door, there was a door plate of the same material.
