Chapter 3 Paperwork

Chapter 3 Paperwork

At six o'clock the next day, it was bright and the rain had stopped. Shangjia lived in a villa area. The house was surrounded by green trees and grass. The mist after the rain was dense in the air and flowing slowly.

Shannan closed the door and prepared to go to school.

He didn't sleep well, he was frightened by Yu Zhibai's eyeballs, and woken up again by the little paper man.His room was the penultimate room in the corridor on the second floor. The penultimate room contained all the relics of Shonan's father. Shonan didn't have a key, but Dai Lili had the key.

In such a large villa, the aunt is putting breakfast on the table. The porcelain clashes with the marble dining table. Birds are chirping outside. It is crisp and bright. It is a very refreshing morning after the rain.

"Squeak".

It's like a strange sound made by a cheap plastic toy produced in a toy factory after being crushed.

It came out of Dai Lili's room.

She doesn't live in the master bedroom because she says the master bedroom is dirty. She lives in the first room to the right after going up the stairs.

The door was ajar, leaving a very narrow gap.

Shang Nan stood there, resting his fingers on the armrest, looking into Dai Lili's room seemingly casually.

Dai Lili wore a white nightgown and covered her insteps with a gentle expression, sitting on a leather sofa with clear texture at the end of the bed. There was a small wooden box next to her.

Shang Nan's eyes slowly fell on the thing making noise in Dai Lili's hand - a rag doll more than 20 centimeters long, with slender limbs, a well-coordinated head and body, and wearing the same school uniform as Shang Nan.The doll was lying on its back and was held firmly in Dai Lili's hands, facing the ceiling. Its abdomen was covered with dense silver needles.

Dai Lili took out the thin and long silver needle from the wooden box next to her, twisted it between her thumbs, and slowly inserted it into the doll's abdomen.

"Squeak".

The doll screamed.

The corners of Dai Lili's mouth slowly raised, and it could be seen that she was in a very happy mood.

The dim skylight rushed into the room from the window like a net. The doll's body was half in the light and half in the dark. The silver needles as dense as hair reflected dazzling light from time to time in the light.

The sky is a little brighter than before.

Shang Nan saw clearly that what Dai Lili was holding didn't seem to be a rag doll, but a paper man that could be mistaken for the real thing.

Feeling cold all over the body.

In movies and TV shows, and in stories heard from old people, this type of doll is used to do immoral things.

Shannan had never seen such a thing or encountered such a thing in real life, but the shock only lasted for a short time, because he immediately thought of the little paper man in his schoolbag, and Yu Zhibai...They are already stranger things than curses.

So no matter what we see or happen in this bizarre world, it doesn't seem strange.

Shang Nan's heartbeat slowly became regular and steady again.

Huinanfang is a city in the south. It rains especially heavily during the change of seasons from autumn to winter. Yesterday was the last rain of the month according to the weather forecast.

But it hasn’t rained or sunny today.

Gray fog hung overhead, visibility was very low, and the air was damp and cold. Shannan wrapped himself in a very thick white down jacket outside his school uniform. The down jacket was large and fluffy, with Velcro all the way to the top, and the raised collar blocked it.A small half face.

Shangnan has its own driver. He took a leave of absence a few days ago due to family matters and returned to work today.

Driving onto the elevated highway, the driver Li Houde drove leisurely. He glanced at the young master who was sitting behind and said nothing, and said, "Madam has become more and more talkative recently, and she has also started to avoid eating meat and only eats vegetarian food."

Shannan's eyelids were half closed, "It's good that she's happy."

According to 14, it was his father who was sorry for Dai Lili. It was a love scam from beginning to end that completely deceived Dai Lili. How could she not hate her and not go crazy?

Li Houde was a little surprised by Shan Nan's reaction.

Because in the past, the young master was very disgusted with his wife engaging in such tricks. The young master is a young man of the new era and a staunch materialist. He has always scorned the theory of ghosts and gods. What's more, everything the wife does is harmful to the body. Let's not put it aside.Whether it's true or false, whether the purpose can be achieved, whether it's all a lie, just because the lady talks crazy all day long, it has exhausted the young master's patience and compassion for her.

Why are you suddenly so calm today?

However, Li Houde didn't think deeply about it. A wealthy family like the Shangjia family had so many strange things and shocking secrets.

Shang Nan kept looking out the car window, watching the car get off the elevated highway and enter the red stone tunnel. The lights inside the 887m-long tunnel were as bright as day. They were the only car, and there were no other vehicles in the front, rear or opposite.

As Li Houde was driving, he noticed that Shang Nan had pressed down the window from behind, and immediately shouted: "Young Master, the air conditioner is on. As soon as the window is opened, the heater is gone. It's very cold outside!" Even though he was anxious, he said to his employerThe tone of the words was also very good. I just thought that Shang Nan felt suffocated in the car and wanted to breathe.

Shang Nan withdrew his gaze from outside the car, looked at the backrest of the driver's seat, and said thoughtfully, "It's a tunnel of more than 800 meters. Why are we still in the tunnel after walking for so long?"

Li Houde said "Hey", "Let me look at the map."

As Shannan expected, after Li Houde opened the navigation software, he was still unable to connect to the Internet. Li Houde even raised his phone and asked, "Why is there no signal?"

Shang Nan put his fingers on the window and looked at a broken lamp that had not yet been repaired. "This is the sixth time we have passed by this lamp."

Li Houde was shocked, "What?" He thought he heard wrong. He had lived for most of his life and had been driving for decades. He had never been in a car accident. He would slow down when encountering wild cats and dogs. He didn't expect that people who are almost fifty would...Encountered such bad luck.

The speed of the car was getting slower and slower, and Li Houde stepped on the brakes. He looked at the tunnel exit more than a hundred meters ahead, which was dimly lit.But it was almost seven o'clock, and the sky must have been bright, and it would not be so foggy and not yet dawn, as if there was a giant beast with its bloody mouth waiting quietly behind the thick fog.

Li Houde broke out in a cold sweat. He looked back in the rearview mirror. There were no cars or people on the empty road. It was eerily quiet. He pressed the three numbers 333 with shaking fingers. Before dialing,, asked Shannan uncertainly, "Young Master, does the fire brigade have the business of exorcising ghosts?"

Shang Nan kept leaning on the backrest and finally stood up. His down jacket made a rustling sound. His face was slightly red from the heat, "Uncle Li, don't be anxious."

Li Houde hesitated to speak, fearing that dirty things would come in, but he did not dare to mention ghosts and ghosts repeatedly in front of Shang Nan.

The young master is a staunch materialist. What solutions can a staunch materialist come up with?

"You must have encountered a ghost and hit the wall." Shan Nan muttered.

After hearing this, Li Houde almost choked on his own saliva. Where are the materialists he promised?

[14: Nan Nan, what are you going to do?]

Shang Nan was wearing thick clothes and moved a little awkwardly. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket with difficulty and said, "Yu Zhibai did it. His call must be able to get through."

He thought of the little paper figure that he had not forgotten to bring, and said, "Maybe, he is just waiting for me to take the initiative to find him."

Li Houde didn't know what Shonan was busy with behind the scenes. His heart was stuck in his throat and beating wildly. The surroundings were quiet, as if a mutilated body with a face full of blood might appear at any moment.

All sounds disappeared at this moment, and the whole world became quiet.

The only sound in the car was the breathing of two people.

Li Houde kept wiping his sweat. He lay on the steering wheel and kept trying to call 333. When there was no signal, he looked at the number 333 without blinking, trying to divert his attention.

Yu Zhibai answered the phone.

"Hello, who are you?" The other party's voice was very low, not much louder than the weak sound of electricity.

Shang Nan also lowered his voice, "Yu Zhibai, I'm trapped in the red stone tunnel."

After a long time, Shannan heard Yu Zhibai ask himself in a low voice and thoughtfully: "Is there anything you need my help with?"

If question marks could materialize, then Shan Nan could be sure that his head and face would be filled with question marks now. He looked in front of him, then looked out the window, holding his cell phone, "I picked up something for you yesterday, you can'tDo this to me." His tone revealed a hint of grievance, but I don't know if the monster is pretending to be pitiful.

Yu Zhibai was silent for a few seconds and just said: "Throw away the little paper man in your school bag."

Well, this is the trick, Shannan thought, but he didn't like to get to the bottom of things, so he didn't continue to ask the other party why.

Shang Nan rummaged through his schoolbag for a long time before he saw a small piece of paper stuck to the book cover on the back of the math book. It was obvious that he was very reluctant to leave Shang Nan's schoolbag.

Shang Nan ruthlessly tore the little paper figure from the back of the book, and then threw it out of the car window.The little paper figure seemed to be just an ordinary piece of shredded paper, floating slowly to the road.

The moment the small piece of paper was thrown out of the car window, the sky suddenly brightened in front of me, and the rush of traffic during rush hour was naturally evident. In the past, I only thought that the horn was noisy, but now it sounded particularly friendly.

Shang Nan lay on the window and looked behind the car. Their car had just come out of the tunnel, and the tunnel exit was left behind.

He saw that in the dense traffic, a woman with long hair in a red dress appeared at the place where he left the little paper man. She bent down and gently picked up the little paper man.

The vehicle passed through the woman without any hindrance, but her skirt would rise up because of it. She was described as delicate and delicate, and she looked blankly in the direction in which Shannan was leaving.

The driver was belatedly aware of the situation.

"Why did this car start to move on its own?" Li Houde was lying on the steering wheel. He heard the sound of the car's engine and saw his right foot stepping on the accelerator. He was shocked. He held the steering wheel and raised his head to the left and right.After looking at it, he found that everything was normal, and murmured: "This is really a ghost."

He looked back and found Shang Nan leaning against the window in a daze, with a calm expression. He couldn't help but marvel in his heart, he was indeed a materialist!

"Let's take a detour tomorrow." Li Houde hadn't yet recovered from the strange thing just now. He kept glancing at the rearview mirror, "This tunnel is not clean."

Shang Nan was a little apologetic. It was obvious that he was the one who caused the trouble.

"By the way," Li Houde's face slowly returned to blood, and his mind started to spin, "I remembered that there was a serious car accident in the Hongshi Tunnel many years ago. A luxury car hit an electric car.The owner of the car was fine, but the woman riding the electric car died on the spot, and her blood flowed for several meters, and it even appeared on the local TV station in Hui Nanfang."

"Car accident?" Shannan was startled.

"Yes, it was a car accident, but there has never been such a strange thing in the Red Stone Tunnel in so many years." Monk Li Houde was confused, "Hey, young master, do you think we should ask the madam?"

Shannan replied: "She is not in good condition to begin with, so don't tell her."

When Li Houde thought about it, he couldn't say it.

Shang Nan clicked on his mobile phone and entered the keywords "Huinanfang", "Hongshi Tunnel" and "Car Accident" on the webpage, and selected the first term to search.

There are not many results that pop up. In addition to text, there are also pictures.

The woman's red gauze skirt is like the gorgeous sunset in the sky. She tilts her head and looks at herself with wide eyes.There was no mosaic on her face, so Shannan could see clearly - she was the woman in red who had just appeared in the tunnel.

So... the accident just now had nothing to do with Yu Zhibai, but why would it be okay if he threw away the little piece of paper?The little paper man is Yu Zhibai’s thing, so isn’t it still related to Yu Zhibai?

The picture only captured the woman, the surrounding onlookers, and a smashed electric car. Everything else was blurred, including the license plate number of the luxury car that was emitting black smoke.

However, the photographer obviously overlooked one place, but it was also very inconspicuous, otherwise the photographer would not have noticed it.

There is a little boy's face appearing in the corner of the photo. The smaller half of his face is covered in blood. A piece of glass is stuck vertically in his eye socket. The blood flows from the corner of his eye and flows to the ground, turning into a pool of thick black liquid.

[14: This is eight-year-old Yu Zhibai. It was his mother who was in the car accident. Yu Zhibai’s left eyeball was damaged, but the treatment was not timely, resulting in the right eyeball also losing function. That’s why you saw his fake eyeball last night.eyeball.]

The car stopped at the intersection, the light was red, and Shan Nan rubbed the frame of his phone with his fingers, "Then didn't you say he was a paper man?"

[14 The information obtained gradually increased: He is a paper man. I don’t know how he became a paper man.]

[14: But what I am sure of is that he died in the car accident ten years ago.

[14: He is a monster in this world. The shadow of his mother's death in front of his eyes accompanies him. The misery of being bullied and insulted has continued from elementary school to the present. His hatred of the world is getting deeper and deeper.]

[14: I’ve learned about his feelings about you, Nannan, he doesn’t hate you that much anymore,]

The author has something to say: Paperman: Don’t hate your wife
