Chapter 343: The Paper Immortal's Confusion

A moment later.

Su Xuan and Li Xian gave up on researching.

Because Wei Qinglan's death was really too abrupt, so abrupt that there wasn't even a sign.

Rather than wasting effort here, it was better to continue advancing the progress of the Fudi. They had already wasted quite a bit of time being stirred up by Wei Hengbo.

Su Xuan picked up Wei Qinglan's corpse, preparing to find a place to hide it. Leaving it where it was, who knew what disgusting things malevolent entities would do to it.

But just as he stood up, his body suddenly stiffened.

"Where is the door?"

Yes, the door had disappeared.

Not just the door, even the room seemed to be twisting and deforming.

Su Xuan and Li Xian were surprised to find that the paper people piled in the room all stood up, and the uncut paper also squirmed magically like kelp washed by seawater. The trajectory of their squirming made the two's perception of space chaotic, and their bodies gradually became weak.

"This feeling... seems like being poisoned!"

Li Xian suddenly looked at the furnace in the center of the room. The furnace didn't know when it had been lit and was emitting smoke! Su Xuan reacted faster, picked up Wei Hengbo's corpse parts, and stuffed them under the furnace. The ice outside the corpse parts would extinguish the fire once it melted.

After discovering that the two had the intention to extinguish the fire, all the paper people pounced over.

However, these paper people didn't even have bamboo skeletons, their movements were slow and weak. Su Xuan used a dagger, Li Xian used a small hammer, and the two of them dealt with all the paper people in three or two strokes.

But this couldn't solve the crisis of the two.

The dead paper people's bodies turned into fragments. Under the control of strange power, these fragments floated onto the two of them, sticking and not coming off, more and more, as if they were going to wrap the two of them into paper people alive!

At this time.

The fire in the furnace had been extinguished.

But Su Xuan and Li Xian were already like soft-legged shrimp.

Li Xian barely took out a talisman: "Paper fears fire. I'll burn all this paper with a fire!"

"Use your brain. We are surrounded by paper. Once this paper is lit, we two will die either way!" Su Xuan had cold sweat on his head. "I understand. The trap isn't Wei Hengbo, but this room... From the moment we stepped into the room, we were already caught!"

*Clap, clap, clap... *

The Paper Immortal walked out clapping his hands.

"You finally figured it out, but you figured it out too late."

This Paper Immortal was dressed as a scholar in wide robes and large sleeves. His gender-neutral face was painted with white greasepaint, and there was a demonic red smear at the corners of his eyes and mouth. There was a long and deep red scar on the front of his body.

For the Paper Immortal's appearance, Su Xuan was not surprised at all. Since this was a trap, there must be someone who set the trap.

But the Paper Immortal's way of appearing made Li Xian couldn't help but want to complain: "Haven't you heard that villains die from talking too much? We two aren't dead yet. You come out now, aren't you afraid of capsizing in the gutter?"

The Paper Immortal kicked Wei Qinglan's corpse aside and sat in front of Su and Li: "I didn't want you to die in the first place. I feel it's a pity about the death of this brother and sister... May I ask if there is any illness on this woman's body?"

Su Xuan was stunned. He thought Wei Qinglan was secretly attacked by a malevolent entity, but he didn't expect that even the malevolent entity didn't know how she died.

Also, what did "not wanting them to die" mean? The Paper Immortal grabbed Wei Hengbo's head and touched his skull to explain.

"I like collecting things very much. Wealth, power, art, women... including 'talent'! "Whenever I meet talent, I want them to become my subordinates, including you, and including this Wei Hengbo, so..."

The Paper Immortal licked his lips and said with a perverted look: "When he was alive, I peeled off his skin and used my paper to replace his skin and wrap it on his body."

Hearing about Wei Hengbo's encounter, Su Xuan and Li Xian both showed expressions of unbearable sympathy.

But the Paper Immortal explained seriously: "Don't misunderstand, I didn't kill him. You killed him. Replacing skin with paper only makes him loyal to me, not stop his life."

"It's just that I don't understand why Wei Hengbo was so strong before, but after submitting to me, he suddenly became weak?"

Su Xuan's face was slightly surprised. He originally thought that the Paper Immortal came out early just because of arrogance, or to torture them, wanting to make them despair.

But looking at the Paper Immortal's serious expression, Su Xuan understood that the Paper Immortal was genuinely holding confusion.

The Paper Immortal's ability, when used normally, should be able to completely control the victim, but the Juanren's ability comes from god-worshipping and does not belong to themselves. Therefore, once controlled by the Paper Immortal, they become slightly more powerful ordinary people. This is the reason why Wei Hengbo became weak.

But Su Xuan couldn't tell him the ins and outs, so he deliberately mocked: "The scar on your body should have been cut by Wei Hengbo!"

The Paper Immortal touched the wound. This scar was still aching. That Wei Hengbo was surprisingly strong. Even with a sneak attack, he was cut once before he was subdued, and the wound was still aching until now...

So the Paper Immortal took a fancy to Wei Hengbo's ability and wanted to manufacture Wei Hengbo into his strongest paper puppet. In the process of manufacturing, he deliberately gave a lot of power, but didn't expect that after Wei Hengbo woke up, he would become so weak.

In order to figure out the reason why he wasted power, the Paper Immortal set up this trap.

Seeing that the two didn't speak, the Paper Immortal raised his finger. He believed that as long as they suffered, the two would be willing to speak.

*Sss! * On Li Xian's body, a small piece of paper fell off.

Accompanied by that piece of paper was a piece of Li Xian's skin! Then it was the second piece, the third piece. On Su Xuan's body, paper pieces also began to peel off, and the two soon became like blood gourds.

This scream sounded incomparably pleasant to the Paper Immortal.

Actually, the strength of the Su Xuan trio was not weak, and Su Xuan and Li Xian, although newcomers, didn't have fewer god-worshipping props. They just didn't know about the existence of the Paper Immortal, coupled with Wei Qinglan's sudden death, that they fell into this situation.

Watching the two about to be peeled into holes.

Li Xian's eyes suddenly turned red, his exhausted body was suddenly full of strength, and he pounced towards the Paper Immortal, smashing down with the small hammer in his hand like crazy.

Under the stimulation of pain and death, Li Xian lost control again!

Li Xian's sudden loss of control startled the Paper Immortal, who hurriedly greeted the paper people, controlled the paper, and then scrambled to subdue the crazy Li Xian.

Su Xuan sighed.

This kind of mental loss of control, after all, was not a transformation in a manga, and couldn't change the two's terrible situation.

But the Paper Immortal became excited.

"This... is another good talent!"

The Paper Immortal, who had a collecting habit, also took a fancy to the madness in Li Xian's bones, and the creative desire in his heart was almost about to gush out.

"Let's start peeling him first. When you see what he looks like without skin, you should be willing to tell me the reason why Wei Hengbo suddenly became weak!"

The Paper Immortal turned his head back to look at Li Xian, his eyes suddenly becoming gentle, as if looking at a piece of art.

*Pop! * Just at this moment.

A long saber burning with blood-colored flames pierced the Paper Immortal through from behind! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 344 =====
