If there is food in your stomach, the person's mind will be clearer. The boy turned his head to look at the little girl in the kang, his eyes full of concern and worry.

So the old lady is not his relative, the little girl is?

"Is this your sister? She is sick?" I tried to find a breakthrough in the topic.

"It's not your business." The boy replied coldly.

"Oh. OK, since this is not your home, I don't need to ask for your consent." I said, reaching out to pull the drawer of the bedside table, wanting to try the boy's attitude.

It doesn't matter if he cares...

The boy didn't say anything, and pulled the little girl into his arms, turning his head away and not looking at me.

I have no experience in dealing with a rebellious boy, so I can only leave him alone and wait until I find the clues.

The bedside table and wardrobe, including all storage cabinets in the house, were locked, and the old lady even locked the bedding.

This is not a regular case investigation, nor does it have a search warrant, but it just smashes, pulls, and pulls. After my violent destruction, the house finally looks like a "regular" case. I followed the thief and rummaged through the cabinets, but I found nothing else, only found a book.

A book made of pure leather with strange characters on it.

I took the text on the leather page and sent it to the bun. Her skills cannot be inherited in vain. Now it's time for her to do her work.

Looking through all the containers that could hold things, there was no evidence that the old lady manipulated the puppet, and of course, there was no edible thing.

"Don't this old lady eat?" I looked at the boy and asked.

The boy looked at me with the back of his head and didn't look back when he heard me ask. I thought he had no feelings for the old lady just now, but now I can't say it. What does his attitude mean?

"Okay, if you don't want to communicate, then come with me." I have searched all the places I should find, and even knocked on the walls and the ground inch by inch, without any hidden secrets.

The boy still didn't move. Actually, I just scared him. We had something to do and it was not convenient to take him and the little girl on the road. We couldn't take responsibility for a mistake on the road. Even if we really took it, we would stay in the hotel and "reserve" it first.

"It seems that I have to notify the police and find a way to contact your family." I can't deal with the two underage children, so I can only turn to the people's police.

After hearing this, the boy finally turned his head and stared at me and said, "No, don't contact them!"

His reaction shows two things: one is that he has a family, and the other is that he has a disagreement with his family.

"Then let's talk to me. When I know what I want to know, I will naturally leave. Don't worry, I am not an enthusiastic citizen and I won't care about you both."

"What do you want to know? That book is not in your hands." The boy glanced at the leather book in my hand with hatred.

"I want to know the old lady's true identity."

"I don't know, I'm not a good person anyway."

"Will you not know her true identity when you live with her? For example, the green grass people she made up."

"I made it up."

The boy's words made me pay attention to his hands at this time. There were a few thin and shallow holes on the back of his hands, the palms were full of calluses, and the cracks in his nails were full of green mud.

"You mean, you made the puppet that will harm people?"

"I didn't ask them to harm people, I was only responsible for the editor. Only the old woman would control them to go out to harm people. It has nothing to do with me." The young man said loudly.

"Tell me, how she harms people, who have she harmed?"

"I don't know anything else, but she often goes to the hospital or attends funerals. Anyway, there is no one dead or where she goes, and when she comes back, she will have more burdens with her."

The boy fell into a brief memory and stared at the edge of the kang, "Every time I come back, there is one or a few ghosts that can move."

"That means that when she brings things back from a hospital or funeral, there will be a straw-weaving villain who can move?"

"right."

"Have you heard that she mentioned the title of puppet master?"

"No, but... she mentioned that she had an apprentice, whose surname was Yang, and she didn't know what her name was. She was just like her, doing these evil things. That person was in the capital. What do you want to ask? Go and ask him. He must know more than I do."

"Submit Yang? Is there any other clue? Finding someone in the capital is like finding a needle in a haystack." I already have some clues in my mind, but I still want to get more information.

If I can get more information and compare, I can confirm whether the apprentice he mentioned is Yang Xinli.

But the boy shook his head and said that all he knew was this. The old woman rarely talked to him. With this information, she went out and didn't know what happened. When she came back, she was very happy and said it was missed when she showed off her "glorious deeds" in front of the boy.

Later, he threatened him that if he dared to tell this, he would chop him up and throw it into the vegetable field as fertilizer.

"I don't know the details you want, but the old woman said, "The stupid disciple thought she was dead." The young man had already been silent, but after a while he suddenly remembered something.

"She said, why should she pretend to be dead in front of her apprentice?"

"No."

The boy really didn't plan to talk anymore this time. I looked at the little girl in his arms and decided to change the topic.

"Does the little sister need a doctor?"

"Doctor? The doctor can't cure her." The boy looked lonely and gently stroked the top of the little girl's head.

"The routine doctor cannot be cured. I know unconventional doctors. I just told you that I specifically investigate some cases that are beyond the routine and know some related professional talents, all of which are experts."

"Can they bring the dead to life?" the boy laughed sarcastically.

"Then...it's not possible, but your sister is still alive."

"She's dead, the old woman let her survive, but she's still one last step away."

Roar? Let the dead live again. He seemed to believe the old lady's nonsense like Yang Xinli.

"There is no perfect way to bring back the dead. Do you know who is living? Look, you probably have been deceived by her. She is dead now. There is really a way to bring back the dead. She must not buy herself insurance first!"

"No, she said she succeeded, and Ningning also breathed!"

"Tell you, it's not that I'm scaring you. I've seen a lot of evil tricks like them. They have worked at first. She has to let the deceived fall into the trap. What she wants is to restrain you from achieving your goal. Once the goal is achieved, she will ignore the result. Any kind of trick must make people taste the sweetness first, right?"

The boy stared at me with an angry and fierce look on his face, but there was obviously some wavering in it.

"To be honest, I have seen a person who believes in this kind of evil magic for the sake of the person he loves. Not only did the person he loved not be resurrected, but his life was also lost. If I guess correctly, did the old lady swallow your sister's soul?"

The boy was stunned for a moment. I knew I guessed correctly and continued to say, "She promised to release your sister's soul in the last step and resurrect her. Oh... There is no such simple thing in the world. Even if she dies without accident, the souls trapped in her body will die with her and their souls will be scattered."

"You're talking nonsense! Impossible, impossible!"

"Why am I lying to you? Is it good for me to lie to you? That's true, I told you, believe it or not."

I saw the death of Yang Xinli and the old lady with my own eyes. They both ended up together in different ways. Whether they were not good at learning skills, being retaliated by the soul in their bodies, or the soul found an escape, they scattered and ended up dead.

The black smoke that erupted from the old lady's eyes did not last long and soon disappeared in the sun.

Uncle Wang said that it is an energy body that is exhausted. The human body has an energy field. The soul is an energy field at another level. However, if it is not properly kept or used excessively, it will inevitably be difficult to escape the misfortune that completely dissipates between heaven and earth.

I don't understand humans very much. Our clan has never said that there are souls. Maybe there are people who can switch between different forms of energy, so they only regard it as a kind of ability.

When the boy saw me finishing talking, he put the leather book in his backpack. It seemed that he was planning to leave, and his expression was obviously loose.

"I...I don't know what to do..." The boy lowered his head in annoyance.

"Or, you're here to stay. Without the support of the old lady's magic, your sister's appearance will not last for two days. She will become a real vegetable. In the end, you buried her place and go wherever you like." I paused and looked at the boy, "Or, go to a special hospital with me and have the best way to make her survive. No, you have a place to cremate her body and let her go with decent."

In this wilderness, the little girl died and didn’t even have an urn or a coffin. She could only use a roll of quilt, making it look like she was thrown into a corpse, which was so pitiful.

The boy frowned, and all the struggles in his heart were reflected on his face.

"You think about it. I have something else to do. Let me leave first. When I come back, you will reply to me. Of course, you can leave during this period, and I won't look for you." I carried my backpack and was about to leave, but the boy suddenly called me.

"Can we go with you now?"

Hey, it's okay, not to the point of being desperate. I was happy, handed him another chocolate pie, and nodded.

He could only use the unripe melons in the vegetable field to fill his stomach, but the old lady's threat of making fertilizer can explain the situation. The boy was so hungry that he didn't pick a melon to eat. Eighty-most of the threat was not made up casually, but had precedents.

The boy left the brick house with a little girl on his back. There was nothing valuable here. I guess the old lady was more than this stronghold, but she was very strict and we had no way of knowing their location.

The relationship between the boy and her may be like a landlord and a long-term worker. The old lady accepted Yang Xinli as her apprentice. Although she finally cheated him, Yang Xinli was in good health during the process of becoming a disciple and learning skills.

Therefore, the position of the young man in the old lady is very different from that of Yang Xinli.

He had no nostalgia for the old lady and the cottage, and followed me and left without looking back.

When I returned to the place where I stored the car, I pushed the car for a while. When I walked out of the grass and returned to the road, I called the boy to get in.

He held the little girl in the back seat, and I didn't speed up when I rode back, and the two children couldn't sit still when they rode too fast.

The 'long' return trip was a monotonous scenery on the roadside. Maybe it was too boring, and the boy was finally willing to communicate with me.

I no longer ask the old lady about it and chat with the boy. When the boy saw that I was riding a shared bicycle, his attitude softened.

He certainly didn't trust me at first, but he might think that no bad guy would ride a shared bicycle to play conspiracy. Even if there were some, he was a relatively down-to-earth bad guy, so he relaxed his vigilance.

He said that his parents had passed away. In order not to separate from his young sister, he escaped with his sister after hearing that his relatives refused to custody and planned to send them to the welfare home.

That night, he also came out of the house on a bicycle and hurriedly escaped. He did not pay attention to the straps that fixed his sister's body and did not tie it tightly.

The belt was loose halfway, and his sister fell from the back seat of the bicycle. The little girl, who was only two years old, was confused and knocked on the stone on the side of the road, and then she lost her breath.

Just as the boy was crying loudly in his arms holding his younger sister's body, an old lady appeared and said that she could cure the little girl and swallow her soul, saying that this was the only way to keep her Genshin Impact from dissipating, but if you want to get the benefits, you have to pay a price.

From that day on, the boy became the old lady's free laborer, plus blood food.

The boy hugged the little girl tightly, as if he was very afraid of making the same mistake again. In fact, he was also a child at that time, so he knew how to travel with his baby to be safe.

If he made a mistake, he did. When he ran away from home with his sister, he didn't think about it. How can a teenager not even have an ID card? Without anyone to find out?

Even if his sister didn't fall from the car that night, she would have more dangers under his "raising" in the future.

However, in order to resurrect his sister, he was willing to become the old woman's blood food and endured the pain for two years. Now that he has made him look like he is not a good brother.

But the child is finally easy to cheat. The old lady swallowed the little girl's soul that had not yet left her body, and used this to threaten the boy to work for two years and give her blood to drink. In the end, she will definitely let the boy die in vain and die miserably, and she will not return the little girl's soul to others.

"Hiss? How did she know what our bus passed through this section? When did she start to control the passengers on the bus? Do you know?" As I thought about it, I suddenly thought of a question. The old lady's house is indeed not far from the road, but it is not so close that she can penetrate the woods and see the bus coming with a telescope. Besides, she knows which bus it is? How did she know?

"She went out last night and brought a straw man she didn't usually use."

"Is that different from the straw man?"

"It's not a straw-woven legs, but both legs are feathers, like bird wings, and may be able to fly."

"Scud..." If it is a flying puppet, or a 800-mile journey at night, then the person who knocked on our door last night was a straw man?
