"Giggling…"
A strange laughter echoed above Lin Yu's head. He suddenly looked up and saw another Paper Doll clinging like a spider to the ceiling, grinning at him.
This Paper Doll looked different from those in the room. Traditionally, when burying the dead, a pair of boy and girl Paper Dolls were burned as companions for the departed in the afterlife.
The one above Lin Yu was the boy Paper Doll.
The Paper Doll laughed again, mouth smeared with what looked like blood.
"Let's play a game. Catch me and you'll get a reward."
The doll jumped down and ran around, shouting in its eerie voice.
"Fine, you run first."
Lin Yu smiled without refusal.
"If you can't catch me, I'll eat you! Hee hee hee."
It ran off.
Lin Yu smirked, sheathed his Fire Axe, and pulled out the Barrett sniper rifle he'd just exchanged. He rested it on one hand, aimed, and prepared to shoot the running doll.
"Giggling… come catch me…"
The doll glanced back, eyebrow arching in mock surprise.
Bang!
A bullet shot from the Barrett, hitting the doll's head.
The doll collapsed and something dropped from it.
"Not as tough as I thought."
Lin Yu muttered, picking up the fallen item.
[Paper-crafting Technique Incomplete Volume A (Good Quality)]
[Type: Skill]
[Can be taken out of Dungeon: Yes]
[Effect: Collect the complete volumes to unlock the paper crafting skill, allowing you to create a paper doll that lasts three minutes and never disappears unless the player leaves the dungeon.]
[Note: An ancient craft with unknown origins.]
Happy with the reward, Lin Yu packed the skill book and Barrett away, then used his lighter to burn the Paper Doll on the floor and those at the cell's entrance into ashes.
…
"Did you see that Paper Doll's face? Looked like it just ate something nasty—made me laugh."
"I bet that doll regrets messing with Brother Yu."
"Why can some Paper Dolls move but others don't?"
"No clue, maybe some are possessed? Read any horror stories?"
"Brother Yu's Barrett is so cool! I only saw one like that once before—a level 20 top mercenary from DT Nation."
"Done with Paper Dolls, bring on White-robed Female Ghosts for eye candy. Paper Dolls creep me out—third day with White-skirted Ghost."
…
The moment the Paper Doll turned to taunt before being shot made the audience relax a bit.
Especially the surprised raised eyebrows—several viewers chuckled.
After burning the dolls, Lin Yu checked other cells.
Every bed had Paper Dolls under covers, and no prompts triggered.
Deciding not to search further, he guessed he'd find clues only after triggering more events upstairs.
At the stairs, he spotted fresh blood slowly flowing toward a cell door on the second floor's right.
Quietly, Lin Yu approached and smashed open the cell door with the Fire Axe.
Bang!
Inside, several Paper Dolls wielding smaller Paper Dolls surrounded a bed where a red-clothed woman sat.
Without hesitation, Lin Yu swung his axe, splitting the dolls in two.
"You okay?"
After clearing the Paper Dolls, Lin Yu showed concern toward his companion.
On the livestream, the red-clothed ghost looked at Lin Yu with a confused expression.
