Mantra

Chapter 156 Turning into a Puppet

Wang Hou was controlled by the curse and became Zhao Haikun's puppet. In fact, it was not without a sign, but this is really beyond my guess.

Since we arrived at Zhao's house, Zhao Haikun has been giving Wang Houxun "wormwood".

In this regard, Zhao Haikun explained to me that "Xun AI" can bring Wang Hou back to life.

But now it seems that this is just a part of his plan to make Wang Hou a part of his thugs.

Later, I found a white-faced doll under Wang Hou's head, a kind of "fruit-eating" doll that is said to be used to reassure the soul.

Although the doll has already been crushed into a "film" by Wang Hou, even so, I can vaguely see "Wang Hou" in two loose ink characters on the doll.

Zhao Haikun said that moxibustion can solidify the soul, and Zhao Shuihe said that fruit food can "relieve the soul". Under this "one solid and one tranquil", Zhao Haikun is likely to control the "soul" in his body.

That's why now Wang Hou listened to Zhao Haikun's mercy, pinched his favorite Xian Hongye with his hand, exerting strength little by little.

Wang Hou's hand strength is no joke.

Seeing that Hongye was about to be crushed to death by Wang Hou, I couldn't ignore it.

Therefore, I hastily withdrew the saber that was resisting Zhao Haikun's throat, threw it on the ground, and said eagerly: "Let Wang Hou let Hongye go! You will die if you do this!"

Zhao Haikun's eyes were red, but there was still only one sentence in his mouth: "Give me the kitchen knife! Give me!"

I yelled, "I don't have a kitchen knife!"

"Then look for it!" Zhao Haikun shouted paranoidly: "Isn't Zhao Haipeng quite good at counting! He must have left a clue for you!...Think quickly!"

It's easy for him to say, but... what do I think? !
Not to mention the urgency of the situation, but the clues I can use are almost none.

You know, my old squad leader and I haven’t seen each other for three years, and it’s been a long time since we met again. The most outrageous thing is that my squad leader only called me a few times before he died, and didn’t mention a word about the kitchen knife. , how could I know where the kitchen knife is? !How can I think about it? !
But under the circumstances at this time, I know very well that if I continue to deny it blindly, Zhao Haikun will really let Wang Hou pinch Xian Hongye to death.

Therefore, I can only bite the bullet and agree to it first, and talk about Hongye's life in exchange.

So, I hurriedly waved at Zhao Haikun and said, "I figured it out soon! Put me down first and give me some time!"

My compromise finally played a role.

Zhao Haikun turned his head slowly, and bellowed like a wild cat at Wang Hou.

Accompanied by this meow, Wang Hou responded with a low and mechanical sound in his throat, then let go of his hand, and threw Xian Hongye, whose eyes were white, on the ground.

Seeing the sweaty face and limp Hongye, a huge stone "roared" to the ground in my heart.

Zhao Haikun said to me coldly: "Think quickly!"

In order to stabilize him, I had no choice but to wave my hand first and say: "Right away! Right away..."

But that being said... where do I get him a kitchen knife?
With no solution, my mind was in chaos, so I had to try my best to think about the past of my old squad leader.

But thinking about it, I suddenly thought of that inexplicable "will" and the sentence of my old squad leader: "He has already given me the kitchen knife!"

Why do you say "already"?

Usually, this kind of words are said after certain things are done, at least it means that when I saw the will, I also saw the kitchen knife.

But when Zhao Haikun threw that piece of paper, he didn't attach anything...

Could it be that the will is fake...impossible.

Judging from Zhao Haikun's attitude, he is very superstitious about the content of the will, there is absolutely no way it is fake, and there is no need for my old squad leader to be fake.

Then...then there is only one possibility.

I raised my head, looked at Zhao Haikun whose eyes were red, and then at Lei Ren and Zhao Shuihe who looked anxious.

I suddenly felt... my old squad leader had calculated too "accurately" a little bit!
Although he didn't tell me about Zhao Haikun's rebellious behavior directly, he guided me through the people around me, and then led me to this step.

Even the text of the will clearly stated: "No two, if I am already dead when you see this piece of paper, and you are confronting my brother..."

Apparently, my old squad leader had figured out that his brother would come to this point, and so would I.

His "calculation" is really accurate.

I don't know why my old squad leader "calculated" so accurately. I only know that if we follow this theory, he should know that I am in a hurry because I can't find the kitchen knife mentioned in his will.

In this case, according to common sense, he will definitely give me a "hint" to let me solve the immediate crisis smoothly...

He will definitely be able to solve the situation he set up!
And this reminder... is probably the inconsistent "will" in my hand.

Suddenly I had an idea, an old squad leader "give me" an idea.

I raised my head, looked at Zhao Haikun who was getting impatient, and said to him, "I'll give you the kitchen knife right away...but do you have a pickaxe?"

Zhao Haikun asked with a vigilant face: "What are you going to do?"

I wiped the sweat from my temples and replied, "The kitchen knife is buried in the ground..."

"What?" All looked at me in surprise, not understanding what it meant at all.

Even if the knife is buried in the ground, how would I know?Totally incomprehensible.

Even Zhao Haikun, who looked eager, also didn't believe it: "Don't lie to me! How could the knife be in the ground!..."

I hold the crumpled will of the old squad leader tightly in my hand!Tell everyone the reason for this.

It turned out that when I saw this piece of paper, my old squad leader reminded me, "I have hidden the knife, since you have seen it..."

The meaning of this sentence is very simple, and I can also understand it this way... that is, when I saw this will, I also saw the place where the knife was hidden.

But when a person stands and looks down at the letter, the first thing he sees is definitely not the content on the paper, but the land in front of him.

So... I have a very horrifying inference that not only does my old squad leader know that sooner or later I will have such trouble with Zhao Haikun, but he also knows where and how to open this will.

Therefore, he buried the kitchen knife in the ground in advance, and this will is my key to everything.

After I finished explaining my understanding, Zhao Haikun suddenly laughed maniacally. After laughing for a long time, he suddenly said with self-mockery: "Second brother, second child, you are so smart, why do you want to commit suicide... You don't even know these things. I thought about it all, but in the end the kitchen knife was still in my hands!"

I looked at Zhao Haikun's madness indifferently and didn't know what to say.

After Zhao Haikun laughed wildly, he reached out to me and said, "There is an iron pick in the kitchen, go get it!"

While speaking, Zhao Haikun suddenly waved at Wang Hou again.

Immediately afterwards, as if receiving some kind of order, Wang Hou slowly opened his eyes and raised his hand...
