White Paper Figure, I Found You

There was a saying in the paper effigy trade: when a paper figure smiled, life and death became unpredictable.

The little girl paper figure's stiff, rouge-painted face twisted into a sinister grin.

It sent chills down one's spine, goosebumps rising layer upon layer...

But there was no movement beneath the large rock across from us. Mao Jing and Pan Ling did not appear.

Naturally, I had no intention of making a move just yet.

I simply stayed hidden behind the rock and continued watching from afar.

After laughing, the paper figure widened her eyes.

She slowly raised both hands and mechanically touched her own face.

An eerie "Heh heh heh" kept coming from her mouth...

Her movements were strange. I had no idea what she was trying to do.

But the next second, my whole body went numb.

The little girl paper figure grabbed her own paper face and tore downward with force.

With a ripping sound, she actually tore her own face apart.

Revealing the bamboo framework inside...

Yet the white paper figure continued to laugh, her voice urgent and eerie.

"The game of hide-and-seek has begun..."

As soon as she finished speaking, her entire body burst into green flames.

Yet the paper figure continued grinning sinisterly amid the green fire.

"Three, two, one.

I'm coming to find you..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the green flames swallowed the whole paper figure, burning it to ruin and sending plumes of black smoke into the air.

The other paper dog had already started trotting toward the large rock across from us.

It let out low, hoarse barks of "Woof, woof woof woof."

Zhang Yuchen and I were both dumbfounded.

This thing was evil, but why did it feel like some kind of lunatic?

The whole thing was utterly baffling.
