Nightmare Apostle

"Captain, I think the key to this matter lies in the treasures. All the mountain people were killed, but so many treasures are missing." Beibei poured himself a cup of hot water with a thermos. The warmth of this B\u0026B The measures are very general.

It was a little cold at night.

"I think so too. It's impossible for treasure to disappear out of thin air. Also, the army that came to suppress the bandits wiped out the mountain people. They didn't even leave anyone alive for interrogation. This is unreasonable."

"Kill and silence?" Beibei raised an eyebrow.

"It's interesting." Yang Xiao recalled what Teacher Zhou said, "Judging from the battle reports, these mountain people are not good at fighting. Even though they had the advantage of location and numbers, they were wiped out in just four days. With such fighting power, they How dare you rob military pay?”

"What's even more strange is that every time we succeed, no one is left alive. I don't think the people who can be sent to escort the military pay are ordinary soldiers." Yang Xiao continued.

"Then what do you think?" Beibei asked.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Xiao said: "The records in these ancient books are very problematic. Someone must be telling lies. If I were to tell you, there are two results."

"First of all, it was indeed these mountain people who did it, and the looted treasures were also found by the later officers and soldiers, but this wealth was too tempting, so these officers and soldiers did not stop doing anything, and took all the looted treasures. The mountain people who knew about it were all killed, and then they divided up the treasures and told the court that they had not found them.

"Secondly, the matter has nothing to do with the mountain people. Those who can rob the army's wages are definitely not ordinary bandits. This group of bandits is probably disguised as a nearby garrison. They rob the army and attack passing caravans. They never They were kept alive because they were worried about being reported. This is also the reason why the army later did not find the gold and silver lost in Xiba Village. It was not their fault at all, and the treasure was naturally not in the hands of these mountain people. I personally prefer the second option. "

"That makes sense. A lot of things will be explained in this way." Beibei nodded, "But what's going on with that headless ghost, Nine Eyes...Nine Eyes Domoro?"

"According to Yu Shu's description, the headless ghost should be dressed like a mountain man who died unjustly. He must be resentful for suffering such an unreasonable disaster. It is also appropriate to call it the Immortal Resentment Corpse in the book." Yang Xiao analyzed.

"But why is that corpse holding a head with nine eyes? This...it is impossible for this person to have nine eyes when he was alive." Thinking of the painting in the book, Beibei My scalp felt numb, and the nine eyes were all different sizes and didn't look like they belonged to the same person at all.

Yang Xiao couldn't answer this question because he couldn't figure it out. He could only hope that Teacher Zhou could find the remaining parts of this fragment.

But in any case, the author of this book is very suspicious. He seems to know a lot of inside information. Yang Xiao guesses that this person's identity is definitely not simple.

Yang Xiao edited his guess into a long message and sent it to Yu Shu, who replied with the word "thank you" and a smiling face.

Putting down his phone, Yang Xiao looked at Beibei curiously, "Can't we live together with Yu Shu? This way we can communicate more easily."

Unexpectedly, Beibei's expression became serious, "No, people who receive ghost scripts may be very dangerous at night."

"You mean Yu Shu will attack us?" Yang Xiao was shocked,

"No, what I mean is that living together at night with someone who has received a ghost script may lead to unpredictable consequences."

Seeing Yang Xiao's curiosity, Beibei didn't hide it and lowered her voice: "A long time ago, not long after I joined the Office, I once watched a video. In the video, a woman claimed to have received a ghost script, and then several people appeared in the camera. , the woman's right arm and the man's left arm were tightly tied together, not only with rope, but also with something like glue, they actually stuck the two living people together! "

"But in the next video, it was still the same room. The men and women were gone. The room was dripping with blood, and there were pieces of meat stuck to the ceiling. At this time, someone wearing a mask appeared on camera to explain, saying that the experiment failed, and there were body parts in the room. After inspection, most of them were left by men, and only a few of them belonged to women. They guessed that the woman did not die on the spot, but they waited for a few more days, but the woman did not come back. Finally, it was confirmed that the woman died in the nightmare world. middle."

Yang Xiao's spine went cold when he heard about this experiment. He couldn't help but think of the story Director Nalan told him, but this story was obviously more extreme. "After all, we are also official personnel. Isn't it too inhumane to conduct this kind of experiment in private?" "

Beibei was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained: "You misunderstood, this is not an experiment in our agency, it was found from the personal computer of an evil cultivator after we killed him. There are many similar experiments, these guys They are inhumane beasts!”

"Evil cultivator?" Yang Xiao was shocked. This was the first time he heard this word.

"Well...it's not what you think. They are similar to us. We are all apostles. It's just that we use the Eye of Resentment to solve supernatural events in reality and maintain peace. But they are different. They will use The resentful eyes in the hands can do evil."

"For example, we once learned about an evil cultivator who is an elderly woman. Her resentful eye is an old-fashioned alarm clock. Her ability can sneak into people's dreams in a short period of time. During the duration of the ability, ,

She can do anything she wants to the victim in her dream, including asking for privacy and bank card passwords.

Or even assault the victim, and when she wakes up, the victim only thinks she had a nightmare. "

"This ability is really weird." Yang Xiao was eye-opening.

"But the more bizarre and powerful the ability is, the stronger the backlash is. She received ghost scripts more frequently than ordinary apostles. Before we could catch her, she died in the nightmare world."

Before saying this, Beibei paused and suddenly asked, "Captain, do you know why we are called apostles?"

"Because each of us who is involved in the nightmare world has a mission. We must find a way to completely end the nightmare in the nightmare world, otherwise our end will be death, but sooner or later." Beibei's expression became obviously serious when talking about these.

Kuang Hongyi also said something similar. He mentioned a method that if you can survive ten nightmare missions and ensure that only one person survives each time, then the person who survives can escape from the nightmare world forever.

Beibei sneered at this statement, "This is just a rumor. I don't believe it anyway. What we are pursuing is a complete end, just like severing the connection between the real world and the nightmare world."

Leaning forward, Beibei's eyes became firm, "Captain, do you know what the evil cultivators are pursuing?"

"They are crazy. They actually want to use the resentful eyes and the nightmare world. They believe that the nightmare world is God's mercy and God's gift to this world, which will allow their spirits to live forever."

"They look forward to achieving some kind of spiritual resonance with their resentful eyes. It is said that the powerful evil A cultivator can even leave a small amount of obsession in the resentful eye after his death, so that whoever gets the resentful eye later will be guided by this residual soul and walk on a similar path as him. "

"Of course, this road is extremely difficult, but if you can go all the way, then this person will become more and more like the dead evil cultivator, and finally the two will merge into one, and this evil cultivator will achieve immortality to some extent."

These words made Yang Xiao sweat coldly. How could this be so similar to his own experience? He couldn't help but turn his head. The backpack was placed on the chair beside him, and the robe was inside.

Seemingly realizing that he had said it too much, Beibei explained: "But don't worry, Captain. We have no chance to get the resentful eye of that level. The resentful eye is also selective."

Recalling the scene when he met Taoist Yan Zhen, he was interrupted by a mysterious force when he wanted to talk about the big red coffin several times. The invisible hand squeezed his heart, and he was so scared that he swallowed his words back.

The owner of that hand, who was also the previous owner of the robe, was probably an evil cultivator, and must be related to the big red coffin.

Yang Xiao was very conflicted now. He wanted to investigate the origin of this person very much, but he was also worried that if his true identity was discovered, someone in the patrol office would harm him.

He could see the attitude of Taoist Yan Zhen at that time. The office was not a monolithic entity. If it was useful, then everyone was friends, but if he was discovered, he might be influenced by the evil cultivator, and the consequences would be hard to say.

Yang Xiao made a decision quickly. Unless necessary, he would not tell anyone about the changes in the robe and the underworld clothes in the future, and he could not tell the director either. When he completely mastered the resentful eye, even if someone wanted to harm him, he would have to consider whether it was enough.

He had no strength and no backing now, so he could only keep a low profile. Even if the robe was not left by the evil cultivator, it was still a good thing. Taoist Yan Zhen reminded him that if a man was innocent, he would be guilty of possessing a treasure. If he was targeted by someone, it would be troublesome.

"Captain, what are you thinking about?" Beibei asked.

Yang Xiao rubbed his nose and sighed softly, "Nothing, I'm just worried about Yu Shu."

"Go to bed if you're tired. It's only the second day, it should be fine." Beibei comforted, "How about this, you go to bed first, I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, and when I'm tired, you come to take my place."

Beibei's kindness could not be refused, Yang Xiao was indeed a little tired, after all, he still had to climb the mountain tomorrow and go to the Yinbing Cave to take a look.

Lying on the bed, fatigue came like a tide, Yang Xiao suddenly felt something was wrong, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier uncontrollably, and he finally fell asleep.

The next second, he woke up suddenly, the lights in the room went out at some point, and the whole room was shrouded in a dark light, a feeling he was familiar with.

It was that ghost dream again!

Looking around, Beibei was gone as expected.

He followed his feeling and gently opened the door. The corridor was quiet, without any sound, and he walked outside Yu Shu's room.

He touched the door lightly with his hand and it opened.

The scene behind the door shocked Yang Xiao. The room was surrounded by strange fog. No, this was no longer the original room. In front of him was a sparse forest. A gourd-shaped cave was exposed under the mountain wall in the distance. Hundreds of headless corpses surrounded the cave, holding various weapons in their hands. There were several figures standing at the cave.

When Yang Xiao saw these figures clearly, his breathing stopped. The headless cavities were still bleeding. These corpses stood straight, holding their own heads in their hands.

It was the same as the movements in ancient books and paintings.
