Elmer glanced at Amelia and continued, “Burning paper effigies and paper palanquins to let paper effigies carry their dead relatives to the Netherworld is also a form of reluctance and sustenance for their dead relatives. Since paper effigies are so important, there is a requirement for whether the paper dolls are good quality.”
Alex recalled the past. In his hometown, when fathers passed away, the son had to personally tie a paper horse to lead the way. At that time, he did not have the chance to bury his grandfather openly, but he had also secretly tied a paper horse. He used a bamboo branch to bend the limbs of the horse, then braided the head of the horse with a bamboo strip. Finally, he used red paper to paste it. It sounded simple step, but what he made did not look like a horse at all. It was even harder to paste red paper. The sharp parts of the bamboo branch could easily pierce the red paper. When it was pasted, it could not form. Before it was on the road, the bamboo strip would collapse… Therefore, this skill indeed needed to be passed down.
“And?” Amelia continued.
Zign: “The paper effigy with the finished eyes will target you because the first person it sees is the person who painted it, so it’s also a tradition to not paint the eyes of the doll. However, I was young and impetuous at that time, so I did it…” He would never forget that night. He secretly hid in the room to finish the painting for the paper effigy. When the paper effigy’s eyes took shape, he felt that he was targeted by something. The next day, his fever did not subside. He reluctantly followed his father up the mountain and met the female ghost standing quietly in the mountain.
Zign: “My father took me to find a fairy woman. I didn’t know how many rituals we had to perform to get that paper effigy to leave. Later on, I gradually embarked on this path. Paper effigies sacrificed to the dead. After entering the netherworld, they were enslaved. The resentment was very strong until I learned to use the souls of the dead to sacrifice to paper effigies.” From then on, he advanced by leaps and bounds on this path. He drew many paper dolls. In the end, to make it easier to take them away, he even learned to fold paper effigies into real paper dolls and turn them into a thin piece of paper. He traveled everywhere and did a lot of things and earned a lot of money. Until he met his master, Tugger, in a dilapidated temple.
Zign: “Tugger is a vengeful and petty person. When he sees someone more talented than him, they have to submit to him. Otherwise, he will kill him.” Under Tugger’s pressure, he nodded and ackntledged him as his master. To put it nicely, they were master and disciple, but in fact, he was enslaved by
Tugger.
Zign: “Tugger gave me a female ghost in a red wedding dress. Similarly, I have to give him the soul skin. Later on, he kept experimenting with exchanging soul skin for soul. I’ve been running around and helping him find every suitable candidate.’
The soul did not need to be attached to the body. It only needed to be changed and survive in the other party’s body. It was a little like the transmigration and rebirth in novels. However, the difference was that after the soul skin transmigrated, they would not be able to live for more than a few days. Because of this, they killed several test subjects. It was also because of this that Zign went to haunted houses all over the country and changed places. In any case, there would be people who would be scared to death every year. As long as they did it secretly, they would not attract the attention of the officials.
“This is really a life-stealing act right under the King of Hell’s nose…” Zign said. “I’ve been very careful until I met you guys…”
Alex nodded. So this was the cause and effect. It could only be said that the world was huge and there were all kinds of strange things.
Alex said, “One more thing. What’s going on with Mrs. Fagger from the Fagger family?”
Tugger and Zign had been arrested, but Mrs. Fagger continued to walk free with the identity of a victim.
Zign said honestly, “Isn’t Mrs. Fagger!s husband dead? She inherited more than a billion yuan in assets, but she’s not in good health. She’s terminally ill and won’t live for more than a few days. She heard from a civilian old woman that she was borrowing her life. Then she had an idea. She found out from somewhere that she could change her soul, so she spent a lot of money to hire Tugger to help her change into a healthy skin. Mrs. Fagger still has so much money. She doesn’t want to die. She wants to become another person and continue living.”
Amelia nodded to show that she understood. If she had that much money too, she would not be willing to die. However, not wanting to die was one thing. She still had to die when she was supposed to die. After all, her master had said that if she did not die, she would cause chaos and harm the human world. She had to go to Mrs. Fagger and ask if she needed help to spend money.. No, she had to see if she had done anything bad!
