Chapter 2 Paperwork

Chapter 2 Paperwork

Shang Nan heard his heart beat as heavy and urgent as the raindrops falling in the puddle.

He handed the umbrella in his hand to Yu Zhibai. Yu Zhibai tilted the umbrella slightly towards Shang Nan, while Shang Nan's hands were grabbing randomly on the muddy ground.

Rotting leaves, hard stones, and slippery muddy water running through the fingers.

Touched it!

Shang Nan originally thought that the monster's eyes might be different from human eyes, but when he caught Yu Zhibai's eyes in his palm, they were a little elastic, like a small ball, and he subconsciously confirmed that they were eyes.

"It's dirty, I...I'll help you wash it." Shang Nan picked up his eyes, pretending to be calm.

After that, he took out the water glass from his school bag and unscrewed the bottle cap in a panic. His heart was beating like thunder, his mouth was dry, and his cheeks were hot.

"Wow"

Shang Nan's hand shook, and the water glass became unstable, and the whole glass of water was poured out.

His eyes were a little slippery and he almost lost his grip.

Shang Nan handed his eyes to Yu Zhibai, "Okay."

Yu Zhibai's eyes and brows did not move at all, he only curled up the corners of his mouth. He raised his hand to take the eyeballs from Shang Nan's palm. This was the first smile he showed to Shang Nan today.In Shang Nan's memory, it was also the first time the two of them recognized each other that Yu Zhibai smiled at him.

Shang Nan was curious what Yu Zhibai was going to do with the eyeball.

I saw Yu Zhibai holding the cleaned eyeball between his fingers and looking at it for a few seconds, and then pressed the still wet eyeball into the left eye socket.

After pressing it in simply and roughly, he raised his eyes, which were all white.

A pair of his eyes, one completely white and the other completely black, looked at Shannan dully.

The umbrella cast a shadow on half of his face, and he tilted his head, "Thank you, classmate Shannan."

"No... no need." Shang Nan felt his voice floating in the air, and he didn't know where to go. He could only stretch out his hand towards Yu Zhibai, "Can you give me the umbrella? I should go home."

Yu Zhibai handed the umbrella handle to Shang Nan's hand, "Aren't you afraid?"

Shang Nan felt there was no need to lie, "A little bit."

Yu Zhibai asked: "A little?"

Shang Nan looked at his expression and was worried that the other person would pull his eyes out and push them in again. He quickly said, "I'm very, very scared."

"Okay," Yu Zhibai raised his hand and waved, "Be careful on the road, see you tomorrow."

Shan Nan turned around and left impatiently.

After walking a short distance, he held an umbrella and ran quickly, leaving Yu Zhibai far behind.

[14: When you held the monster's eye, I learned its true identity.]

Shang Nan slowed down and gasped, "What is its true identity?"

"A piece of paper pricks someone."

Shang Nan: "?"

Shang Nan was most afraid of ghosts, and his face suddenly turned pale.

[14: The paper pricks people, not ghosts.]

Shan Nan was speechless for a while: "It doesn't seem to be very different from a ghost."

[14: Let’s get to the point, Nannan, the eyeball you just picked up for it was made by it itself. Paste a layer of white leather on the outside of the eyeball model as the white of the eye. This layer is waterproof, and then draw on the white leather.The pupils of the eyes are made of special ink, which is the most realistic, but slightly less waterproof. If it gets too wet, the entire eyeball will smudge black.The eyeball you just picked up is white because the ink has been washed away by water.]

Shannan admired dumbly, "He is indeed a monster."

[14: Another good news is that the monster's blackening value has dropped by 0.5. This is all due to you, Nannan. Keep up the good work and keep up the good work.]

It was his job to save monsters, and the work was making progress. Although Shannan thought the task was too scary, he was still a little happy.

Yu Zhibai watched Shang Nan run away, his figure getting smaller and finally disappearing completely, disappearing into the rain curtain.

His impression of Shan Nan was not good. He was a clingy and stupid rich second generation, but he was pretty enough. This kind of beauty made him dislike Shan Nan less.

In fact, the other party's dislike is still within the tolerable range.

Yu Zhibai took out an umbrella from his schoolbag and dropped out several small human-shaped pieces of paper, with a round head, short and thick limbs, and no facial features. You couldn't tell the shape without looking carefully.

The rain was too heavy. Fortunately, Yu Zhibai was standing under the eaves, but the rain still blew in occasionally.

Afraid of getting wet from the rain, they crawled along the umbrella cover, along the backs of Yu Zhibai's hands and arms, and climbed onto Yu Zhibai's shoulders one by one, lying down neatly in a row.

Yu Zhibai casually pulled one off his shoulder, used the pen in his schoolbag to point out the facial features, emphasized on the eyes, smiled, and tapped the head of the little paper man with the tip of the pen, "Look clearly at the one called reward just now.Are you a boy from Nan?"

The paper man nodded.

Yu Zhibai turned the little man over, wrote a line of words on its back, and put it on the ground. The paper man stepped into the puddle and hurriedly ran towards the direction where Shan Nan left with his short legs.I'm not afraid of water at all.

Shannan arrived at the door of his house.

The villa has a wide building surface, and regularly distributed night lights illuminate the green plants in the garden like a set in a dark movie, with water droplets rolling down the leaves.

It was now eleven o'clock in the evening. Shang Nan opened the door with the key. The room was dark. Shang Nan fumbled and turned on the light, but was startled by the woman in white sitting on the sofa with her back to him.

Her waist-length hair is smooth and shiny, the sofa is snow-white, and the five fingers elegantly resting on her kneecaps are pale. You can even see the blood vessels under the skin. The ring on her ring finger occasionally reflects the dazzling light of stars.

Hearing the sound of opening the door, Dai Lili turned her head, tucked a few strands of hair that had fallen to her face behind her ears, stood up and turned on the light, "Why did you come back?"

"There was a classmate who didn't have an umbrella, so I gave him a ride." Shang Nan handed the umbrella to his aunt. The aunt came out of her room with a sleepy look on her face and asked Shang Nan if she wanted to eat something. Shang Nan saidNeed not.

After Dai Lili stood up, Shannan realized that the other person was very thin, with a skinny torso and limbs, and the soft fabric of home clothes was empty, swaying with Dai Lili's steps.

Dai Lili's cheeks are thin, but it is not difficult to see her stunning appearance when she was young. There is a certain charm in her eyebrows and eyes that is similar to Shan Nan's, with a sense of arrogant and undisciplined.

"Go to bed early." Dai Lili was sitting in the living room, as if just waiting for Shan Nan to come home.

She walked up the stairs, her shoulder blades bulging out like two juxtaposed hills.

[14: Dai Lili is your mother, her husband, that is, your father. Your father loved someone else deeply. After your father passed away, Dai Lili discovered that she was just used by your father to deal with the family.Tools of the Elders.Dai Lili is suffering from serious psychological and mental illness. All your family's current expenses are dividends from the shares your father left to you. Now these are taken care of by your father's special assistant and lawyer.]

After arriving home from admiring the south, Yu Zhibai also stepped into the community on time at twelve o'clock in the evening.

This is an old community. The lights in the corridors turn on and off, and are controlled by voice. On a rainy night, they go on and off like fireflies.

The residential buildings were in disrepair, and the sides were covered with moss and vines.

Yu Zhibai lived on the sixth floor. There was no elevator, and the sixth floor was already the top floor.

The iron gate on the first floor was opened from the inside by a little girl with pigtails. She was crouching, her face was as bright as a blush, and her pupils were like needlepoints, which could not be seen unless you were careful.

"Xiaobai, have you been beaten again?" Yu Xiaoyu saw the cyan color at the corner of Yu Zhibai's mouth at a glance, and she looked behind Yu Zhibai again, "The puppy is not back, I really miss him."

She held a flashlight in her hand to illuminate the corridor for Yu Zhibai.

Yu Xiaoyu knew how to use voice-activated lights, but her screams were too high-pitched and sharp. Although the lights came on the first few times, rumors that Building 11 of Xingfu Community was haunted slowly spread. From then on, Yu ZhiBai asked her to get a flashlight and stop shouting.

"I'm just like a ghost." Yu Xiaoyu jumped up the stairs.

Mrs. Yu was listening to the radio at home. She was too old. She was hunched on the sofa, covered with a thick blanket. Her hair was covered with silver threads, and wrinkles spread from her forehead to her neck to the back of her hands.

Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, Mrs. Yu moved, straightened up, and the blanket slipped from her shoulders to her legs.

When she was young, she didn't live in Huinanfang Xingfu Community, but lived in the countryside with Yu Zhibai's mother. At that time, she was still a well-known goddess.Mrs. Yu took on a variety of jobs, helping the living to call the dead, and the dead to call the living.Later, these skills were passed on to Yu Zhibai, but her own body collapsed and became more and more disfigured. She could not even walk a few steps.People who know about it say that she has offended the gods and must be punished.

"You're back?" Mrs. Yu's voice sounded like a rusty kitchen knife scraping against the edge of a pot. "It's raining. Are your eyes okay?"

Yu Zhibai sat down on the sofa. Yu Xiaoyu held a box and jumped to squat in front of Yu Zhibai. She turned around and answered what Mrs. Yu said, "Grandma, Xiaobai's eyes are wet. They can't be used anymore. They have to be replaced."New one." Yu Zhibai was not at home, so Yu Xiaoyu was at home talking to Mrs. Yu and passing the time.

The ordinary-looking box was opened, and a stack of cut white paper was placed inside. The dirty outer layer of the eyeball was peeled off and thrown away. The new white paper was pasted on the outside of the eyeball mold, which was just the right size.

"Here." Yu Xiaoyu held the ink pen and handed it to Yu Zhibai.

Yu Zhibai pursed his lips and completed the last step. At this time, the paper in his hand was enough to pierce the eyeball, but it had no blood vessels and no nerves connecting to the brain.

There were two black holes in his eye sockets, and the electric light beam above his head could shine in. Yu Zhibai replaced himself with a new pair of eyeballs and adjusted the position more accurately. After confirming that there was no problem, he opened his eyes with a faint smile in his eyes.With a faint smile, he started to pack up the things on the coffee table, and the pair of discarded eyeballs that could no longer be used were thrown into the trash can.

Yu Xiaoyu squatted on the ground, tilted her head and looked at Yu Zhibai, "Xiaobai, your eyes are smiling today. You are so good at drawing. I want something like this too." The little girl's eyes are too small. Sesame seeds are bigger., lifeless and dull, completely inconsistent with her lively and lively tone.

Mrs. Yu made a sound, and Yu Xiaoyu turned to look over, "Grandma, Xiaobai was beaten again today!"

Grandma fell asleep, and Yu Xiaoyu raised her index finger to her mouth, "Shh, we have to be quieter."

Yu Zhibai turned off several lights in the small living room, leaving only a small table lamp next to the sofa, so that grandma could sleep peacefully.

The lamp light was weak and could only illuminate a small area. In such a dim circle of light, Yu Xiaoyu's face was as pale as white paper, and her lips and cheeks were red. She looked more like a paper doll than a little girl at this moment.

Yu Zhibai lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes swept out a circle of darkness under his eyes. After changing his eyeballs, his face became clear. His eyes looked soft and peaceful under the lamp, clear and beautiful, and the red on his lips faded to pink.The aggression and weirdness have been hidden.

In the early morning, there was no sound in Shangnan's room.

The boy on the bed seems to be sleeping deeply, but the host database displayed here on 14 shows that its new host is a very insecure person, and his sleep is also very light. It is just that the master brain has sealed the host's memory, and the host has nothing.remembered.

The floor-to-ceiling window that had been closed before going to bed was quietly pried open from the outside.

[14: Nannan.]

As expected by 14, it just barked softly, and Shannan woke up immediately, but not completely. He said "hmm" in a daze. He didn't know what 14 was waking him up for, and his eyelids were almost closed again..

[14: Someone is coming.]

Shang Nan directly closed his eyes, tightly closed, and the surroundings were silent. Shang Nan knew that the "person" mentioned by 14 was definitely not a human.

After a long period of silence, Shang Nan's curiosity finally defeated his fear. He carefully opened one eye, just in time to meet the eyes of the little paper figure who was about to stick it on his face.

Maybe it was an illusion, but Shang Nan saw a hint of embarrassment on its face.

"What do you want to do?" Shonan was really frightened by such a round-headed little piece of paper. It was only as big as a hand, its eyes were as dark as two longan cores, and its limbs were stubby.

"Did Yu Zhibai ask you to come?" The little paper man, Yu Zhibai is a paper man, Shannan thought, it must be Yu Zhibai. Does he want to assassinate him?

Seeing that the piece of paper was discovered, the little piece of paper simply lay down and pretended to be dead, becoming a real piece of paper.

Seeing this, Shannan reached out to pick it up and turned on the light.

It's a very ordinary white paper with nothing unusual about it. The facial features are painted very roughly. There are clay stars on the two short legs of the paper figure, which must have been stained on the way here.

[14: It is supposed to erase your memory.]

Shang Nan saw a line of words behind the little paper figure. The handwriting was sloppy but elegant: He knew nothing and he remembered nothing.

Shang Nan sat cross-legged on the bed, wearing a thin navy blue striped pajamas, with a white jade-like neck. The hair on the back of his head had been rolled on the bed for half the night, making it a mess. The light from the desk lamp fell on the bridge of his nose, and his breath was soft and graceful.

He was still studying the little paper figures, and his mind was full of questions, "Why is Yu Zhibai so powerful, why would he let others beat him?"

[14: I don’t know, but those people’s fists and kicks can’t hurt him at all... Nannan, you have had too little contact with him, and a lot of information about him is still locked.]

"Okay, let's go to sleep." Shonan grabbed the paper figurine, turned off the light, and covered himself with the quilt.

The little paper figure was tightly covered under his palm.

The rain outside had subsided again, and Shannan fell asleep again. The little paper figure under his palm never showed any abnormality. It remained peaceful and motionless until a long time passed. It raised its head and pushed with all its limbs.After working hard for a long time pushing against the object that was holding it down, it finally gave up, put down its head, and sighed.

Shang Nan slowly raised his eyes and said in a hoarse and soft voice, "Good boy, I will take you to see your master tomorrow."

Behind the rusty iron gate of Gate 603 of Xingfu Community, Yu Zhibai, who was sitting on the sofa, closed his homework, raised his eyes and looked straight at a certain place in front of him, "Have you been discovered?"

Yu Xiaoyu stood on the edge of the armrest of the sofa, rolling her eyes as big as sesame seeds, "Then Xiaobai will solve it by himself? Or should I do it instead?"

Yu Zhibai thought for a few seconds and said, "You will scare him."

The author has something to say: The paper man who picked out his eyes in front of his wife: You will scare him.

Yu Xiaoyu: Oh oh
