982 The Scheming Puppet

A puppet blinking and shedding tears!

Feeling as though he was struck by lightning, Xu Cheng felt his head numb and his mind go blank. A sense of numbness crept up from the bottom of his spine.

Midnight, heavy rain, ruined temple, dead people, a puppet blinking and shedding tears ⁠— all of these constituted a strange and terrifying picture.

Ghost? Ghost!

Just as Xu Cheng was scared out of his wits, a flash of light came to his sight. A drop of rainwater on the funny-looking puppet shone upon the bonfire and fell onto the ground, merging with the previous mottled wet marks.

"So it's because the ruined temple hasn't been repaired for years and its roof had water seepage that caused a drop to fall onto the puppet, resulting in the illusion of blinking and tearing. I scared myself…" Xu Cheng let out a breath and was stunned suddenly, "Puppet? Puppet!"
