Mysterious Resurrection: Seize the Artifact

Chapter 173
In the center of the town, the lights are bright and there are crowds of people. On the stage are actors wearing costumes and facial makeup, performing stiffly, with a melodious and ethereal voice.

The red lanterns hanging high on the tower, the red satin swaying in the wind, and a plaque above the stage is as black as ink, and there are four bloody characters on it, "Guests from all directions", which looks particularly eerie and gloomy.

But he said that not far from the stage, a young man in a Tang suit bumped into a stone tablet with a "bang", and the stone tablet shook slightly, but that was all.

The young man in Tang suit was lying on the ground with a pale face, his head turned slightly, looking at the crimson stone tablet next to him.

"Jiangnan Ghost Show"

There are only these four big characters on the whole tablet, standing crookedly on the tablet, hideous and terrifying, staring at it for a long time, a chill spreads in my heart.

The young man in Tang suit lay on the ground, just glanced at the words on the stele, then looked away, staring straight at the stars in the sky and the blood moon.

At this moment, his face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body was filled with coldness and a faint smell of corpses. The young man raised his right hand, his arm was already gray, and the smell of corpses came from here.

Obviously, he was escaping the attacks of those ghost lanterns and fierce ghosts, and paid a heavy price. The young man looked at his right hand, black threads squirming in the flesh and blood:

"I survived, but it's a pity that one of my hands is temporarily broken, but it's acceptable, there is a needle and thread to protect it, there is no major problem, and I will ask grandpa to help me sew it up when I go back."

Shaking his right hand, not paying attention to the black lines surging in the flesh and blood, the young man sat up from the ground and turned his head to look in the direction he was looking at.

"It's really scary. If it wasn't for the ghost clothes on my body, I might have passed. Sure enough, the old man is right, don't touch the lantern if you are afraid of death."

The young man in Tang suit looked at the lantern not far away, and those figures standing motionless in the darkness, his pupils were a little terrified, but also a little thankful, fortunately those ghosts were stopped by the ghost stage.

Otherwise, he might not be able to live today. The lantern was floating not far away, and footsteps could be heard occasionally in the darkness. He knew that these ghosts would not make it through, and he was safe for the time being.

"Hey, it's my grandma's loss this time, and I didn't get anything. I was chased by the ghost for nothing, and the recovery of the ghost on my body was also earlier."

The young man in the Tang suit sighed, feeling the restlessness in the Tang suit on his body, he was a little helpless, and his face was very ugly:

"Sure enough, I shouldn't have come here this time. I was struck by lightning first, and then chased by ghosts. I can't live through this day."

The young man was very helpless. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. To be honest, generally speaking, his luck was quite good. Although he would not find money when he went out, at least he would not lose it.

Looking up at the glowing red moon, the young man let out a long sigh, looked at the lantern ghost that was about to move not far away, shuddered, and muttered to himself:

"Forget it, let's go to the theater as soon as possible, go to the backstage as soon as possible, and bring the costume back to the old man for business. Don't try to reap the benefits, this place is simply not for people to stay in."

This time because of him, I don't know how many people died. Hearing the screams and wailing, there should be quite a few, but the young people just don't care, the lives of ordinary people are worthless.

In this kind of place, a ghost master of his level may be carried here by accident, let alone those ordinary people who have no power to restrain a chicken and can only cry for help. They have nothing to do but wait for death. choose.

Of course, some of them were very lucky. After being attacked by the ghosts, they survived by accident, and even controlled the ghosts, becoming ghost masters. But in the scene of ghosts walking at night, To be a ghost master is to die.

Unless those ordinary people are so lucky that a ghost master who controls the extremely terrifying ghosts appears, there may be a chance to survive, but is this possible?
Without this possibility, the more terrifying the ghost, the more difficult it is to control, let alone in this situation.

Putting up the black umbrella again, he walked past the stone tablet engraved with the four characters "Jiangnan Ghost Opera", ignoring the cries and pleas for help coming from behind, and walked towards the stage.

And when the young man was walking towards the stage holding an umbrella, without him noticing, a lantern flickering with black light quietly appeared behind the young man, at a distance of no more than one meter, fluttering and slowly Slowly followed the young man, and behind the black lantern, a phantom appeared faintly, and a touch of strangeness spread.

Regarding these, the young man in Tang suit didn't notice at all, he still walked towards the stage.

However, after the young man walked past the stele with a black umbrella, a few minutes later, three dull crashes sounded, bang, bang, bang, and three people rolled down from it, like a young man in a Tang suit, directly bumping into the stone tablet. On the stele.

"MD..."

A dull voice sounded, and a young man among the three stood up from the ground, holding an empty oil lamp with a gloomy expression.

At this moment, the three of them looked very embarrassed. The raincoats on their bodies were already gray, and some of them even had only a part of their sleeves left.

The young man looked at the oil lamp in his hand, tore off the tattered raincoat and threw it on the ground. Along with the raincoat, there was a mass of blackened and rotten flesh. On the ground, the two of them were shrouded in a chill, and the young man's face was extremely ugly.

His two teammates, Li Gui are about to recover:
"I'm almost recovering..."

Veins popped out on the face of the shadowy young man, and there was anger, fear, and despair in his eyes. Judging from this situation, they might not be able to complete the task.

Five people, five ghost masters, among them there was even a person who controlled two ghosts. As a result, two of them died directly from the moment they came in, and one of them was the person who controlled two ghosts, and that person was still Possess the existence of ghost domain.

Now, except that he is in good condition, the ghosts on his body are still some time away from recovery, and the other two are not far away. Depending on their current situation, it may not exceed three days or even one day at most, and they may directly perform for him on the spot. A ghost revived.

This is what he wants to see:

"How about it, can you still live..." the shadowy youth said in a low voice.

"Ahem, you can hold on for a while..." A woman covered in cracks staggered up from the ground, vomiting out rotten flesh and blood from her mouth.

Seeing the woman like this, the shadowy youth frowned:

"Estimate how long it will take for the ghost to recover, and whether it will be enough to complete this mission."

The woman looked up at the shadowy youth, her face was covered with cracks and gullies, and flesh and blood kept surging through the cracks. She ignored the shadowy youth's inquiry, her eyes were full of horror, and she tremblingly put her hand into her pocket.

He took out a piece of black and red paper money, hesitated for a while, and swallowed the paper money in one gulp. The moment the woman swallowed the paper money, the woman vomited out a large mass of carrion.

The moment the carrion came into contact with the air, all of it turned into corpse water. After the woman spit out the ball of carrion, the woman's body, which was originally full of cracks, slowly began to heal, and the wriggling flesh and blood gradually calmed down. , Li Gui's recovery was temporarily suppressed.
