When I saw my uncle's smile, I felt an inexplicable sense of panic.

I was about to say something when Eldest Uncle suddenly grabbed my chest, his nails digging into my flesh. At that moment, I realized that he was terrifyingly strong.

Eldest Uncle's smile suddenly became ferocious as well. Those venomous eyes were obviously meant to kill me!

I tried to struggle, but my hands and feet were too weak to resist.

I couldn't even scream. I could only watch as my uncle's hand slowly tore apart my muscles.

Just as I was about to despair, I suddenly felt a burn in my chest, followed by a "ka" sound, as if something broke. At this moment, the uncle in front of me suddenly screamed out miserably. The hand that was grabbing onto my chest instantly retracted back as though I had been electrocuted.

Accompanied by a "zi zi" sound, I could clearly see that my Eldest Uncle's hand had already turned pitch black and was still smoking. It was as if he had been heated by a red-hot iron.

Eldest Uncle looked at me with a venomous expression and reached out with his other hand to grab me.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to make a move, his hands, which had been emitting black smoke, suddenly flared up with a 'bang'. Logically speaking, if a normal person's hand was burnt, they would first burn the flesh before entering the bones. During the process, they would be able to smell the fragrance of the meat.

However, Eldest Uncle's hand was different. When it was burned by the fire, it would turn into black ashes, scattering on the ground.

The fire spread rapidly along his hand. His fingers, wrists, elbows, and arms were burning at a visible rate, turning into black ashes.

After being burned by the fire, Eldest Uncle suddenly froze, as if he couldn't move at all.

Although he couldn't move, he continued to stare at me with eyes full of resentment and killing intent, as if there was some sort of irreconcilable hatred between him and me.

The strange thing was, even though he was burned, his uncle's face did not show any signs of pain. It didn't look like it was burning his body.

The most bizarre thing was that his uncle's body was burning too fast, it simply didn't look like a human body. In just a few seconds, half of his body was burnt to ashes and fell to the ground.

He was left with only one hand, one leg, and half of his body. Yet, he was still standing in the same spot.

Looking at this scene, I instantly understood.

Flammable body, no pain, plus black ash after being burned.

This is no uncle, this is clearly a Paper Man! The same Paper Man as Xiao Yue!

It's just that this Paper Man in front of me looks no different than a real person. If it wasn't for Xiao Yue's identity, I wouldn't be able to connect this "uncle" in front of me with a lifeless Paper Man.

Just then, "Uncle" suddenly laughed sinisterly: "Using a scapegoat to get you out of my trap is not a bad idea, but I still found you. It wasn't too late, there was still time … "There's still time …"

His unfathomable words confused me.

What scapegoat? What's the problem? What's in time?

Before I could open my mouth to ask, his head was already burnt out. In a few seconds, his entire body turned into a pile of black ash.

When he was gone, I looked down at my hot chest.

I only have a jade pendant on my chest that is engraved with the word "Life". Xiao Yun gave it to me last night. However, a crack had appeared on the previously undamaged jade pendant, as if it would break at any moment.

When I saw this, I instantly understood.

When Xiao Yun gave me the jade pendant, she said that this jade pendant could save her life at a critical moment. Could it be that the spontaneous combustion of the fake uncle had something to do with this "Longevity" jade pendant?

I touched the somewhat hot jade pendant and had a plan in my mind.

Even though I escaped this calamity, I don't have the slightest bit of joy right now.

From the words of big uncle Paper Man, it was clear that he did not plan to let me go, and he would make his move in the next two days.

Most importantly, this Paper Man was obviously not his real identity. Or rather, he was just controlling the Paper Man to handle some matters.

To be able to possess and control Paper Man, was this thing a human or a ghost? Why do you want to harm me? Also, what did he mean by what he just said?

I don't know anything about it.

The only thing I'm sure of is that this thing wants to kill me, and it's the kind that doesn't stop. There must be some secret I don't know about.

After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly realized that ever since big uncle Paper Man appeared, some of the previous questions seemed to have been solved.

At least, I have now ascertained that my uncle did not commit adultery with Xiao Yue, but that the one who did it with Xiao Yue was this Paper Man! Previously, Carpenter Liu should have been in the same situation. He was framed and cut to death by his own son.

Now, it seems that this thing is the culprit, and its purpose is to make the entire village panic and suffer. Obviously, this thing has a strong grudge against our entire village, especially against me, who is heavily cared for.

That is to say, from the beginning, Big Uncle did not call me to return to the village. Instead, it was this Paper Man who tricked me back, trying to kill me in order to achieve some of his goals.

If that's the case, then obviously my cousin's death wasn't suicide. There must be another reason, but I don't know why it is right now.

At this moment, I suddenly realized that I seemed to be in the middle of a huge conspiracy.

The death of his cousin, the tricks of the Blind Grandma, the resentment of his uncle, the abnormality of his uncle, and the mysteriousness of Xiao Yun. There must be some connection between these people, some secret I don't know about.

From the looks of it, Third Uncle and Xiao Yun are on my side.

As for the Blind Grandma, she's obviously plotting against me, not to mention uncle Paper Man, she even tried to kill me just now. There should be some connection between the two of them and I'm not sure about the details.

Other than these people, there were also some very strange things, such as the rat swarm from before, the black paw prints of the villagers, and the symptoms of clashing with evil.

The rat swarm should have nothing to do with Big Uncle Paper Man, if not, with the power of the rat swarm, not to mention me alone, even the entire village would die.

As for why the rat swarm wants to eat the Blind Grandma's corpse, I don't know, but from this point, the person controlling the rat swarm is obviously not standing on Blind Grandma's side.

In a situation where he did not know the truth, the black claw imprint and the Evil Strike were placed on the head of the big uncle Paper Man. After thinking about it, I was able to sort out my thoughts. At least I knew who wanted to harm me, and who would help me again.

However, along with it were many doubts.

Because of this huge conspiracy, I only now understood the tip of the iceberg, many things, still have no clue.

I can't figure it out, and I'm too lazy to think about it.

Now that the sky was dark, I didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly descended the mountain.

By the time he returned to the village, the sky had already turned completely dark. I went straight to my third uncle's house. Before I could even get close to my third uncle's house, I saw a figure walking around the courtyard in a somewhat anxious manner.

When I walked in, I realized it was my uncle!

I was shocked, but quickly realised that the matter before was all because of that thing that controlled the Paper Man. It had nothing to do with uncle.

Thinking of this, I heaved a sigh of relief.

In my mind, Eldest Uncle was a very honest and warm-hearted person, and he was especially kind to me. If I hadn't been deceived by that thing, I would never have believed that Eldest Uncle would commit adultery. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, my uncle's place in my heart has been restored.

Uncle was a little surprised to see me, and after a few seconds he sighed again.

I was curious and asked my uncle what was the matter.

His uncle smiled unnaturally, "It's nothing. I was worried that something might have happened to you after seeing that you weren't home for so long." Right, where did you go just now? When I brought my men back, I didn't even see you, not even the corpse of the blind woman.

I opened my mouth, not knowing how to explain it.

I was afraid that my uncle would be frightened if I said it out loud. Right now, the entire village is in a panic and everyone is holding onto the thought that one day is only one day. If he told his uncle what had happened just now, it would only make him feel even more terrified and uneasy.

After thinking about it, I scattered a little panic, saying that I didn't know either. I had a stomachache along the way and went to the toilet. Once I returned, there would be no one else.

Eldest Uncle frowned and looked at me, but he didn't ask any questions. He just said that he had already prepared dinner and wanted me to go in and get something to eat.

After entering, I noticed that Third Uncle was not there. I asked Eldest Uncle, is he back yet?

Eldest Uncle said from afar, "It's been a whole day. I haven't seen anyone else."

I was hungry, but I didn't think too much about it, and I began to eat.

While he was eating, the door was slammed open and Third Uncle suddenly rushed in.

When I saw my third uncle, I was shocked.

Because I discovered that he was covered in blood!
