Chapter 155 Puppet Man on the First Floor


    The girl in the white dress smiled first and then said, "You believe in fairy tales, how can people not grow old? If you want to hear the original fairy tale story, you have to find an elderly person. However, the elderly in fairy tale city either died of illness or moved to other cities, and the rest are all at home and do not like to go out."


    "The owner of the building block bun and the owner of the long-nosed nut pie are the old people from the former Fairy Tale City, but you may not be there when you go to find them."


    "I''ll talk casually." Xu Huo bought two umbrellas and gave her one, "Let''s have a meal together."


    The girl in the white dress smiled shyly.


    The two of them had supper together and separated. The girl in white dress held an umbrella and left the noisy main street and entered a complex block of stingy neighborhoods. However, as soon as she walked in, she was stopped by a man and a woman. The woman pressed the dagger against her neck, "What did that man ask you just now?"


    The girl in the white dress looked panicked and took out the tour guide fee that Xu Huo paid her, "My money is here..."


    "Who wants your money!" The man shouted softly, but the woman snatched the money first and glared at the man, "Don''t do it in vain, it''s our money anyway!"


    The man grabbed the girl in the white dress and said fiercely: "What do I ask you, tell the truth, I promise not to hurt you."


    The girl in white dress swallowed, "The man just now was just a tourist, so he asked where to find the old man from the Fairy Tale City of Building Blocks."


    "Tell me quickly! Where!"


    "Bulks and delicious meat sausage shop..." the girl in white dress said in a low voice.


    "Where can I find older people besides these two places?" the man asked again.


    "No, no... Most of the old people in Fairy Tale City died of illness..." said the girl in white dress.


    The man then threw her away, exchanged glances with the woman, and hurriedly left.


    After they left, the girl in the white dress picked up the umbrella that landed on the ground, wiped the stains on the hem of the skirt, and continued to walk forward.


    After walking for a few minutes, a hand suddenly stretched out from the corner, strangled her throat and asked, "What did those two people ask you?"


    The girl in white dress breathed hard and said stumblingly: "They want to... know where the guest I brought... was going?"


    "Place."


    "Bear Claw Restaurant... and delicious meat sausage shop... nothing else..."


    When she was about to suffocate, the hand suddenly loosened. The girl in white dress knelt on the ground and coughed constantly. At this time, a tall man jumped off from above, and he handed her a handkerchief.


    The girl in white dress looked at him in fear, "Do you also want to ask where that guest is going?"


    The tall and strong man gave her a stack of money.


    The girl in the white dress hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it, "He is going to find the old man from Fairy Tale City. I told him the delicious meat sausage shop and the building block steamed bun shop."


    The man nodded and left.


    The girl in the white dress stood up after a while, put the money in her bag, picked up the umbrella and turned around the sky, then placed it on her right shoulder, walked out of the path with brisk steps and headed towards the accommodation area.


    In a dessert shop several streets, after listening to Wang Qiao, Gao Baimei, a stranger, and Shen Tai, three groups of people questioned the girl in white skirts, Xu Huo watched the dots on the screen of the anti-theft monitor bought from the mall move deep into the accommodation area, and finally stopped at the Bear Claw Restaurant. He knocked his finger on the screen, turned off the anti-theft device and checked out and left the dessert shop, and went out to go straight to the Bear Claw Restaurant.


    It was already dusk, the fairy tale city was closed, and tourists began to look for places to stay.


    Although some diners are tirelessly promoting the terribleness of the Bear Claw Restaurant to outsiders, there are still many tourists staying here.


    Xu Huo followed the waiter to register and saw the umbrella he gave to the girl in the white dress in the item box on the corridor on the fifth floor.


    With a slight smile on his mind, he opened the room he booked.


    Not long after he moved in, Tao Chengxin, who was carrying a backpack, walked into the Bear Claw Restaurant in the last few minutes before closing the store.


    The sky soon darkened, and the fairy tale city gradually became deserted and quiet.


    When the waiters were not walking in the store late at night, a creaking sound rang in the corridor on the fifth floor. The sound passed by Xu Huo''s door and went downstairs.


    Not long after, the fragrance of food floated up downstairs.


    "Is there any late-night snack to eat in the middle of the night?" A sleepy guest walked out of the room and muttered to go downstairs.


    After a while, Xu Huo also came out, glanced at the room opposite, and headed towards the stairs.


    As soon as he left, the door opposite opened, and Tao Chengxin followed carefully.


    The first and second floors of Xiongzha Restaurant are all dining areas, and there are no lights on these two floors at night. However, Xu Huo''s eyes have evolved into night vision, so he can see clearly what is happening in the restaurant.


    Except for the guests who had just passed by his door, there were already six people sitting in the restaurant. They each occupied a dining table with a bit of expression, but their hands were hanging on the table, as if they were scribing something.


    He looked at the door for a few seconds and turned around and continued down the stairs to the first-floor restaurant.


    The restaurant on the first floor is also in the dark, but there is a low-high figure who is lying stiffly to clean the stains on the ground. He neither touches any items nor makes any sounds.


    As if he felt the gaze behind him, the figure suddenly turned around. Xu Huo hid to the side of the door first, then grabbed the string and hung it upside down on the top of the first floor. At the same time, a kitchen knife flew out of the door, inserted halfway into the wall, followed by a shadow pounced out of the door, jumped to the hilt of the kitchen knife, and squatted on it, his head rotating 180 degrees left and right!


    It turned out to be a puppet.


    Its limbs are made of wood, and its joints are connected by a white soft object. There is no obstacle or sound when it rotates. The eyes and mouth are made of two beads and two wooden pieces. A hat is worn on its head. Although it is a bit stubborn, its hands and feet will not bump when imitating human movements.


    The puppet man has no ears, and the eyes made of glass beads do not seem to have the function of seeing objects. After turning around 360 degrees without finding the target, he jumped off the wall and pulled out the kitchen knife.


    Just as it was carrying the kitchen knife and was about to return to the first floor restaurant, the ringing ringing of the food was suddenly heard on the second floor. The puppet''s head twisted behind, and the two wooden strips on its mouth turned down to make an angry expression, and rushed upwards to the second floor with its back!


    Then there were slashing and screams coming from upstairs. In just ten seconds, the slashing and slashing came to an abrupt end with the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground - a sudden burst and a sudden stop.


    Xu Huo lay there without moving. Suddenly, he looked up as if he was feeling, and faced a wooden head that quietly appeared at the corner of the stairs on the second floor.


    The puppet man tilted his body and hung it beside the railing, his head was placed horizontally on his shoulders, and his two eyeballs were staring at him.
