Everyone nodded and took orders, but some people had doubts about this arrangement.
Zhu Xiucai is one of them.
He frowned and said, "Sir, if we all hide, we will wait until midnight when thieves really come over and see that we are not here, won't they be suspicious and startle the snake? How can we follow them?"
"Don't worry, I can make the thief think we're still in the house."
Qin Shaoyou smiled, but he was already prepared.
In the eyes of everyone either surprised or curious, Qin Shaoyou took out a small wooden box from his arms.
On the wooden box, there were large patches of dark red, which looked like bloodstains that had dried up for many years. At the same time, on the body of the wooden box, there are also many talisman papers, which makes people feel that it is not simple at first glance.
Open the wooden box, inside is a stack of shadow puppets tied with straw ropes.
These shadow puppets are not quite the same as the common shadow puppets.
They are not very well-made, they only have a rough outline of a human figure, neither the facial features are pointed out, nor are they colored.
Qin Shaoyou took out a shadow puppet, put it in front of his mouth, blew a sigh of relief, and put it on the Chase bunk.
I saw this shadow puppet, just like a frightened puffer fish, swelled up quickly.
After counting the breath, it becomes as big as a human being.
Looking at the appearance and facial features of the shadow puppet, it is astonishingly the same as Qin Shaoyou.
And there was an extra set of clothes on the body that originally had nothing, which was exactly what Qin Shaoyou was wearing at the moment.
Not only that, if you reach out and touch it, you will find that there are body temperature, breathing and heartbeat on the body of this shadow puppet.
Apart from being unable to move and keeping his eyes tightly closed, this shadow puppet is almost indistinguishable from a living person.
Using it to impersonate a person in action is naturally not enough, but it is enough to impersonate a person who is asleep, so that people can't see the problem at all.
To be honest, this shadow puppet is many times more realistic than the most realistic wax figures and silicone dolls that Qin Shaoyou has ever seen in his previous life!
This supernatural item, numbered twenty-three in yellow, was found in the collection of the Specter by Luocheng Town Yaosi a few years ago when he solved the Specter's case in a theatre troupe.
That Specter was also a pitiful person before his death. He was originally a shadow puppet artist. With his daughter, he traveled all over the world to perform shadow puppet shows to earn a living.
But the world was chaotic, and they were kidnapped by a group of bandits on the road and brought up the mountain to let them perform for fun.
As a result, during the performance, the bandit head fell in love with the shadow puppet artist's daughter, and he was about to do coercion on the stage directly.
The daughter resisted and was strangled on the stage by the angry bandit head.
The shadow puppet artist wanted to rescue, but was directly smashed by other bandits.
When he fell on the shadow puppet stage, blood stained the entire shadow puppet stage.
Bandits have long been accustomed to murder. After killing the father and daughter, the corpses were directly exposed in the wilderness, and wild dogs and crows were allowed to peck at their corpses.
What the bandits did not expect was that seven days later, a shadow puppet artist who turned into a ghost appeared in their camp.
That night, screams, wailing and begging for mercy continued in the bandit camp.
After that night, the murderous robbers disappeared, and there was an extra troupe in the world who liked to haunt at night.
It is said that the drama performed by this troupe is very exciting, especially the fighting scenes are very real, and the scenes are dripping with blood...
It's just that everyone who has seen this troupe's performance is dead...
It was not until they met the Yaosi of Luocheng Town that the ghost opera troupe was terminated, leaving behind a few supernatural objects.
Among them, the shadow puppet has the least side effects, but it will only make people lose a breath of blood.
For Wu Xiu, this side effect is completely affordable.
Coupled with its strange effect, it can be of great use at certain times, so Qin Shaoyou brought it with him.
And now, it really came in handy.
Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others, although they have worked in the Demon Suppression Division for several years, still have never seen such a strange thing, and they all gathered around Qin Shaoyou's shadow puppets and were amazed.
"Is this a supernatural item?"
"You can turn into a human by blowing one breath? It's amazing."
"How can shadow puppetry play like this? It's an eye-opener."
Some people immediately thought of other uses of shadow puppets: "If I have such a shadow puppet, I'll take it to the Qinglou Hua Kui and blow it!"
He wanted to take the shadow puppet to find the oiran in the Qinglou, and while imagining a beautiful scene, he stretched out his hand, wanting to peel off the shadow puppet's pants and see what was inside.
Qin Shaoyou hurriedly stopped: "Hey, what are you doing? Just see, don't mess around."
Although it wasn't his own trousers, Qin Shaoyou was still a little uncomfortable watching a shadow puppet that was exactly the same as his own.
Malishi withdrew his hand, smiled embarrassingly, and said embarrassedly, "I want to see whether this shadow puppet is realistic or not."
Qin Shaoyou frowned, always feeling that the horseman's words were realistic and there were some problems.
He glared at Malishi, and then greeted everyone: "Okay, you don't have to do anything, just come over and get a shadow puppet and blow out your stand-ins."
Everyone took orders one after another, took the shadow puppet from him, took a breath, and put it on the Chase bunk.
After a while, there were more than a dozen 'people' in this room.
For some reason, looking at these 'people' who are exactly the same as him, after watching for a long time, Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and the others have an inexplicable sense of fear in their hearts.
Zhu Xiucai swallowed and looked away from the shadow puppet that looked exactly like him.
These made his scalp tingle.
He turned his head and asked Qin Shaoyou curiously, "Sir, how many supernatural items did you bring out this time?"
Monk Ma and Lux are also very curious about this question.
Qin Shaoyou smiled and said vaguely, "Not much."
Everyone rolled their eyes.
How much does this not bring? We believe in you!
You have used several psychic items along the way! Whose small flag officer is on a mission and can bring so many supernatural items?
However, it is also a blessing to be able to follow such a well-prepared boss on a mission.
At least it can reduce their disability rate and reincarnation rate a lot.
Although shadow puppets make people's scalps numb, with them there, you really don't have to worry about the problem of scaring snakes.
Qin Shaoyou instructed everyone: "Hurry up and rest, get something to eat by the way, and prepare for the evening."
Afterwards, he took the dog bought at Zhang Shilang's mansion from Zhu Xiucai and checked it carefully.
This inspection really made him discover the problem...
