Chapter 1057 Success

In less than 5 minutes, Zhang Junyu finished the search and stood in front of the house where the paper figures were stored. He did not find any trace of the missing woman, which made him even more uneasy. Google Search Reading

The door of the house was half open. There was no candlelight inside, only a cold moonlight pouring in through the gap.

From Zhang Junyu's perspective, the moonlight just reflected on the side faces of a row of paper figures, making his face even paler.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Junyu slowly pushed the door open. The old door hinge made a strange creaking sound, which stimulated his teeth.

The room was not as dark as he thought, and was filled with a slightly pungent smell of paint. Zhang Junyu twitched his nose gently, and under the cover of the paint smell, he keenly smelled a stale smell.

This made him alert instantly, because he was very familiar with this smell.

It was the smell of a corpse just rotting.

But there are only paper figures here. Could there be a body hidden among them?

Zhang Junyu played the role of a pathfinder in the entire tomb-robbing team. He was very vigilant, and his experience and psychological quality were incomparable to ordinary people. In a few breaths, he calmed down and began to observe with narrowed eyes.

Behind a pillar at the entrance, there was a wooden ladder with a white lantern in the middle of the ladder. The lantern was in a conspicuous position, but it was extinguished.

Looking carefully, there was a small bamboo tube-like thing standing under the ladder.

Others might not know it clearly, but Zhang Junyu immediately recognized it. It was a fire starter. There was a fire starter here, and it seemed that they wanted them to light the lanterns here.

Zhang Junyu hesitated for a moment, but still did not do it. First, he could barely see clearly in the room now, and second, he remembered the words of the night watchman: be careful with the candles.

He slowly moved his feet and walked inside.

He had been here during the day, but the feeling was completely different from now. The paper figures around him looked at him. In the dim background, the face of the paper figure became more and more exaggerated and grotesque, as if it could come alive at any time.

"You can't choose a standing paper figure because you can't see the bottom of your feet. You can only choose a hanging one." Before coming, Zhang Junyu and the other two had a discussion. Everyone agreed that the way out this time was hidden among the hanging paper figures, and they could only be female paper figures.

He had half an hour, that is, an hour. Counting the time on the way here and the time he was delayed just now, he now had at least half an hour.

It was enough time to find the paper figure, paint the nails, and take the paper figure out.

The room was not very big, and Zhang Junyu's attention was mostly focused on the top of his head. In a few minutes, he walked a circle from beginning to end. After this circle, he made a new discovery.

There were 44 hanging paper figures in total, and 17 of them were female paper figures.

Among these 17 female paper figures, there were exactly 6 with clean soles without dirt.

Zhang Junyu was relieved at that moment. He knew that he had chosen the right direction this time. These female paper figures were the way to survival. As for why there were 6 of them, he could probably guess.

Five of the 6 female paper figures were safe, which corresponded to the way to survival for the 5 of them this time. As for the extra 6th one, it was undoubtedly a ghost!

If someone was unlucky enough to pick out a ghost, there was no need to think about it. If you paint red nails on the ghost, it would basically be like running to the King of Hell and clamoring to be reincarnated.

After having a general idea, Zhang Junyu quickly returned and carefully looked at the 6 female paper figures. The 6 female paper figures were of different sizes and shapes, but it was really hard to tell which one had a problem just by looking at it with the eyes.

Zhang Junyu moved a little closer and sniffed with his nose, trying to tell which paper figure the smell of rotten corpse came from, but what shocked him was that every one of them had the smell of rotten corpse.

Just around the corner, there was a pot of scarlet paint, which looked like blood in such an environment.

Zhang Junyu knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he made up his mind, walked to the door, picked up the fire starter, opened it and blew gently, a weak flame rose, and then lit the candle in the lantern.

Holding the lantern, Zhang Junyu slowly approached these female paper figures, and strange shadows appeared on the wall one by one. The light and shadow intertwined like a group of demons dancing wildly, but Zhang Junyu's hands were very steady, until he walked into the corner, his pupils suddenly shrank.

With the light of the lantern, he finally found something unusual, a female paper figure had no shadow behind it! A female paper figure with clean feet.

This is it!

Zhang Junyu immediately extinguished the lantern, branded the female paper figure with a dangerous mark in his heart, and turned around to choose a normal female paper figure that was quite far away.

After determining the target, he quickly brought a ladder, put it on the pillar beside, picked up the brush in the paint basin, climbed up the ladder, and after calming down, he began to paint the nails of the female paper mannequin.

In fact, the female paper mannequin's hands were rough, and each one was as thick as a mallet, but Zhang Junyu was very serious.

After finishing the painting, he waited for a few seconds, and saw that the female paper mannequin did not respond, then slowly let the female paper mannequin down from the rope, hugged the female paper mannequin, and left the house.

Only when he stepped out of the threshold did Zhang Junyu feel completely relieved.

The night watchman said that everything was safe and sound outside the door, as long as the paper mannequin was taken out of the house, it would be considered a success.

It was naturally impossible to take the paper mannequin back. To be honest, looking at the paper mannequin with bright red nails, Zhang Junyu felt uncomfortable. After thinking for a moment, he put the paper mannequin by the wall outside the house and stood against the wall.

And he sat on the steps, waiting in the night wind.

Not long after, a familiar clapper sounded. Zhang Junyu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, looked back, and walked towards the courtyard along the way he came.

On the way, he met A Biao who came. The two had a brief conversation. A Biao roughly understood the mystery in the paper man's house.

"After confirming the paper man, painting the nails, and moving the paper man out, how long will it take?" A Biao asked in poor Mandarin.

"If everything goes well, 10 minutes is enough." Zhang Junyu recalled.

"I understand." A Biao's eyes flashed a ruthless look, and after he finished speaking, he strode towards the paper maker's house.

Zhang Junyu stared at A Biao's back, and he was quite afraid of this person in his heart. He was not a complete man of the industry. It was said that he was a mercenary in the past, living a life of blood and knife, and only listened to Jia Jinliang in the team.

He had heard many rumors about this person. The most suspenseful one was that this person killed more than 10 gunned mercenaries with his bare hands. As for whether it was true or not, he didn't know and didn't dare to ask.

Yu Chengmu had seen him and said that this person had the Seven Killings, which was an extremely fierce evil.

Yu Chengmu didn't understand how Jia Jinliang could recruit such a person. It seemed that the relationship between the two did not seem to be a simple money transaction. There must be a great opportunity.
