Xu Ran put on the invitation stamped by the magistrate. When he received the silver, most of the yamen runners on duty who heard the bad news were waiting for him at the gate of the county yamen.

Seeing him come out, everyone gathered around and comforted Xu Ran, and agreed to go and see Zhang Meng off for the last journey the day after tomorrow.

Xu Ran thanked everyone and went to Zhacai Shop to find Zhang Yuner.

There were originally more than a dozen lottery shops in Taoyuan County, but later they could not compete with the newly opened Wangxiang lottery shops. The closing of the doors, the changing careers, and the two other companies inexplicably died of their heads, which became a sensational case at the time.

Now, there is only this Wangxiang Zhacai Shop in Taoyuan County.

When Xu Ran walked to the door of Zhacai Shop, Zhang Yuner was arguing with the guy from Zhacai Shop.

I saw her put her hands on her hips and holding a pig-killing knife in the other hand, pointing at the young guy, who was blushing and cursing.

The guy hid behind a colorful paper cow, trembling and did not dare to fight back.

"Don't I give you money? Why do you ignore me when I see you?!"

"If your grandfather hadn't been gone at home, who would you think you would like to buy your things..."

"According to the portrait, I will make a price for me quickly... Hey, why don't you even dare to put one of them?"

...

The more Zhang Yuner cursed, the more he cursed, the harder he could hear. Passers-by pointed at him from a distance, but no one dared to come and persuade him.

Places like Zhacai Shop are already evil, and few people are willing to touch the bad head for no reason, let alone someone wants to swing a knife in such a place, and no one dares to get close to it.

Xu Ran sighed. This sister Yun'er is really domineering.

He quickly walked closer and pressed the pig-killing knife in her hand, "Yun'er, how can he use a knife in the street with someone?"

Seeing that it was him, Zhang Yuner put away the pig-killing knife and immediately looked like a big bird leaning on the other side, "Brother Ranran..."

Xu Ran looked up and down at the friend in front of him. He was about twenty years old and hid behind the colorful paper cow. He was so angry that his face was pale and bloodless.

In the memory of his predecessor, Xu Ran had dealt with this guy and even remembered his name, Cao San.

Xu Ran pulled Zhang Yun'er aside, for fear that she would be anxious, so Cao San started to get angry and caused unnecessary trouble.

"You are a big girl, why are you cursing on the street?"

Zhang Yuner looked aggrieved, "Brother, I'll make a paper man for my elder brother. That guy looked down on me and ignored me! Then I took out the knife, and he pretended to be timid and pissed me off again..."

"Forget it, see if you scare me, go back and take care of my mother first. Leave it to me to do the matter," Xu Ran turned around and looked at the guy, "Cao San, don't you know me?"

The guy took a short while before he walked out from behind the colorful paper cow and smiled and said, "Isn't this Xu Chuangguan? Why are you free to come to the shop today? Please sit in it and I'll make a pot of tea for you."

Xu Ran nodded and came in with Cao San, looking around at the items and furnishings of the Caicai shop. All kinds of paper work filled the shop, but only Cao San was busy.

He sat down on a chair near the door, but he felt interesting.

This guy is obviously very familiar with his predecessor, but he just seemed to not know me.

And I was threatened by someone with a knife and was so scared that I couldn't even speak. In the blink of an eye, I could greet the guests with a smile. This emotional control... was too difficult to achieve.

How can people do this?

It seems that this guy is not good enough.

Because the system had already prompted his identity, Xu Ran didn't find it strange.

Only his fear of Yun'er made Xu Ran unable to understand.

Xu Ran just arrived and was about to dissuade Zhang Yuner. When he looked at Cao San, a system prompt appeared in front of him.

[System: The host meets a paper-breaking spirit soldier and receives a "paper-breaking spirit soldier wild monster" with unlimited refresh times. Do you check it?]

He found out at that time that Cao San, who had been working as a shop assistant in the Zhacai shop for more than three years, turned out to be a paper man!

Xu Ran chose [View].

A paper man wearing a tiara shop costume appeared in the system, his facial features were painted similar to Cao Sanshi, but his expression was stiff and numb, and his face was pale and pale.

Xu Ran looked next to the blood groove, and there was a red number 8.

Use paper people comparable to level 8 monsters as a partner, this store is a big deal.

The unseen shopkeeper and boss hidden behind it must be a more terrifying existence.

Maybe there is some secret.

This world is so complex and terrifying.

Xu Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky above. The sun was hot in the morning of July, but his spine was cold.

...

Another question that followed always made Xu Ran unable to understand.

What is there in Zhang Yuner that can make such a level 8 monster so scary?

When Cao San brought the tea, Xu Ran looked at the tea but did not drink it. Instead, he asked tentatively: "What's wrong with you just now? A girl's house is holding a pig-killing knife and scaring you, the big man, that bear?"

"Is that an ordinary girl?"

Cao San looked in the direction Zhang Yuner was walking with lingering fear.

Xu Ran asked, "Where is it unusual?"

Cao San turned around and said, "No, haha, I have a strange problem. I have been afraid of knife since I was a child, which makes you laugh."

Xu Ran also smiled, gave him some money, and changed the topic: "Say it like Brother Zhang Meng, invite a paper person to come. I'll have the rest to buy a pot of tea for Mr. Zaizhi."

Cao San received the money and smiled and said, "If you want it today, I will send it to you at the time of Xu. Is it OK?"

"Okay, send it here."

Xu Ran got up and picked up the paper-cutting knife on the table next to him, cut a piece of paper and wrote the address on it, and got up and left.

Walking on the street, Xu Ran was still thinking about what had just happened.

Cao San said he was afraid of knives, but there were five or six paper-cutting knives and bamboo-cutting knives in the Zhacai shop. I even took them and shook them in front of him, but I didn't see him afraid.

Obviously he was lying, and this lie was not at all advanced.

Therefore, it must be Yun'er who scared Cao San.

Or something on Yun'er!

I have to figure it out as soon as possible.

Yun'er can't have any more trouble.

...

I found a quiet restaurant on the street. Xu Ran sat down near the corner and ordered a bowl of beef soup and two sesame cakes. While eating, I entered the system to check the detailed information of the paper-cut spirit soldiers.

The picture flashed, and a pair of well-maintained men's hands appeared. Their fingers were slender and their skin was healthy. They pinched thin bamboo strips and silk threads in their hands, and skillfully tied up a human-shaped skeleton.

Then he pasted the skin on white paper and used colorful brushes to draw his hair and facial features. He saw him outlined the painting, and in a blink of an eye he drew a lifelike appearance, which was Cao San.

The hands were painted with colored paper to draw the inner lining, the outer robe and shoes, and they were glued to the paper man Cao San in turn...

While watching the picture in the system, Xu Ran slowly stuffed Shaobing into his mouth. Suddenly his expression stopped and his eyes widened with Shaobing in his mouth.

I saw those hands pinch out complex magic tricks, pointing to the spirit of the paper man from the air, and a phantom of a little man flew out from the right cuff of the hands.

The villain struggled in pain and roared silently, but could not break free from the control of the invisible power. He gradually rose and grew, turning into a faint phantom as big as an adult, and eventually sank into the paper man Cao San.

The paper man Cao San stood up mechanically, twisted his neck numbly, moved his hands and feet, and then bowed to the owner of the hands...

The picture returns to Cao San, the paper man in the system, and there are more explanatory words.

[Explanation: Zhou Deben, the soul of the sky cannot reach heaven, the earth cannot enter hell, the soul of the human soul cannot return to ancestors, and the evil magic trapped as a paper-cut spiritual soldier Cao San.]

Cao San is not a simple monster, but a paper-tied puppet possessed by a special ghost!

Xu Ran took out the sesame cake from his mouth, placed it lightly on the plate in front of him, took a sip of the soup and sat upright.
Chapter completed!
