Chapter 33.1

No matter how strong Xiao Tangqius heart was, he still almost got a heart attack from what Tang Mianmian had said. He not only felt a chill rising from his tailbone, even his scalp was numb with tiny pinpricks. .Dont simply make jokes in a place like this, youll frighten me to death..

His voice swayed because he found that Tang Mianmian and Lu Siers terrified expressions were genuine. It didnt look like they were joking or playing a prank on him. In the next moment, he suddenly felt his shoulders sag with a dull pressure something seemed to have fallen onto his shoulders.

With that, Xiao Tangqiu felt pins and needles all over his scalp as his hair stood on end.

Qiuqiu. your. your shoulders. Tang Mianmian looked even more frightened.

Xiao Tangqiu immediately felt numb in one shoulder as a biting chill spread along his entire back. He froze for a few seconds,

before suddenl

y reacting by trying to shake that thing off his shoulder.

He assumed that it would be difficult to get rid of it once it climbed onto him. However, to his surprise, he managed to fling it off with a jerk and felt his shoulder suddenly lighten. That thing was actually thrown off by him!

But he didnt dare to stay a moment longer in this room so he rushed to grab Tang Mianmian by the wrist and turned to run towards the door.

As he was running, he suddenly heard Tang Mianmian scream in horror, Qiuqiu! Qiuqiu!

Xiao Tangqiu paused. Why did Tang Mianmians voice.. sound a little far off from him?

He turned and looked back, only to find that Tang Mianmian and Lu Sier were still standing in the same place, staring at him with an expression of dread and horror.

Wait a minute! If Tang Mianmian was over there, then whose hand was he holding now?

He turned his head stiffly and finally saw the object he was holding onto the crudely made puppet he had just seen in the corner! Right now, he was holding the puppets tiny hand while it floated mid-air. Its eyes that were made of black stones glowed faintly in the flickering candlelight.

The puppets hand was very small and didnt have the cold texture of wood, but was warm and delicate like the touch of human skin. At that thought, Xiao Tangqiu instantly felt his skin crawl.

He was so shocked that at that moment, he even forgot about how terrified he was. He stood there, staring up at the puppet. Then, all at once, he felt the fear in his heart intensify. Although it was a puppet, the texture of its skin was very supple and lifelike, comparable to real skin. No wood or resin material could produce such a lifelike, human texture. Moreover, upon closer inspection, the puppets hair seemed to be made of real hair. He could see strands of white hairs hidden in its mane of black hair. There was no way an ordinary puppet could grow white hairs!

Xiao Tangqiu immediately dumped the puppet aside, but as soon as he let go of its hand, the puppet fluttered leisurely into the air. Its black stone eyes looked at him with hatred and in the next second, the puppets hair suddenly began to grow wildly until it reached one or two meters in length. And then it bared its teeth at Xiao Tangqiu and shot its hair towards him.

Xiao Tangqius wrist was tangled in the puppets hair in an instant. The hair was so thick and tenacious that no matter how hard he struggled, it only became more tightly bound. He watched helplessly as the puppet pulled him closer bit by bit with its hair, and broke out in cold sweat.

Dont be afraid! Ill save you! Tang Mianmian shouted as he picked up a pillow from the bed. He swung it violently at the floating puppet. His strength was very strong but the puppet wouldnt budge despite being severely hit. Instead, the pillow fell apart and the feathers inside spilled out.

Feathers drifted in the air as the puppet glared bitterly at Tang Mianmian. It quickly separated several strands of hair to wrap around Tang Mianmians ankle, exerting enough strength to hang Tang Mianmian upside down in mid-air.

Ahhh! Help! Tang Mianmian struggled desperately as he swayed to and fro.

Xiao Tangqiu was moved by Tang Mianmians resolve to save him. Seeing that the puppet was distracted, he immediately used this opportunity to break free, but the puppet soon sensed his intention and tightened its hair around him again.

Let me go! You ugly monster! Tang Mianmian shouted as he struggled. It wasnt certain if the puppet could understand what he had said but it soon divided a strand of hair, wrapped it around Tang Mianmians neck and threw him violently against the wall with a loud

bang

. The force was so great that Tang Mianmian nearly fainted.

Xiao Tangqiu fought desperately to remove himself from its grip and indicated with his eyes for Lu Sier to find something to save them. However, Lu Sier merely stood at a loss. Obviously, her brain had gone completely blank. Xiao Tangqiu didnt
