Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 174: Escape on a Rainy Night

The rain came so fast that Yang Xiao, who looked out the window, couldn't help but feel a little dazed, as if the rain was prepared for tonight's chase scene. After seeing Yang Xiaoxia Xiuyan's dress, Director Ding was very satisfied, "Xiao Sun, You drive them to the site.”

Seeing that everyone in the crew was busy doing their own thing, Yang Xiao asked: "Director Ding, are we the only ones going there? The other eight in the crew,

"They still have their tasks. Everyone is very busy tonight." Director Ding said casually.

Xia Xiuyan was also confused now, "But if there are only two of us, how can we film this scene?"

There was no photography, no radio, no on-site guidance, just the two leading actors coming together. Even a layman like Xia Xiuyan found such a scene unbelievable.

Director Ding frowned upon hearing this, "What do you know? We have equipment, a wearable sports camera."

'The most important thing about the rainy night chase scene is the immersive realism. It doesn't need to be too detailed. Chu Xi, there is a lot of pressure on you. You need to perform the oppressive force of the sick principal and bring a strong visual to the audience. impact. "

"In addition, for safety reasons, we have also prepared two handheld cameras. Chu Xi, I remember you have one in your hand. Xia Xiuyan, yours is already in the car. Remember to take it when you get off the car."

Director Ding left in a hurry after telling him what to say. Yang Xiao caught a trace of panic in Director Ding's eyes.

No need to think about it, this must be Sun Shengnan's arrangement, Director Ding is just a puppet on strings.

The person driving the car was Zhang Sheng. He was not from the crew, but was probably brought by Sun Shengnan. The car quickly arrived at its destination, which was located in the back hill of the school. It was in a remote location and the surrounding environment was relatively complicated.

After getting off the bus, Xia Xiuyan was in despair. In this place with no village or shop, even if something happened, no one would know, not to mention, it was still raining.

"Sister Xia, you didn't take your camera." Xiao Sun reminded.

Before getting off the bus, Xiao Sun had already helped them put on the action camera, which was a small square grid hanging on the chest.

"You two, when you finish filming this scene, call Director Ding and I will come back to pick you up. Don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Sun stepped on the accelerator and the car drove away. Soon, the car turned a corner and even the taillights were no longer visible.

Yang Xiao and Xia Xiuyan stood under a long-abandoned bicycle shed, looking at the heavy rain outside and the lush hillside behind them, and suddenly felt as if they had been abandoned by the whole world.

Yang Xiao turned around and looked at the hillside shrouded in the night rain and darkness. After a while, he said with emotion, "The night rain, the barren mountains, the lonely man and the widow, Peipeng. If you don't know, you might think it's a remake of Liao Zhai."

Xia Xiuyan was frightened by Yang Xiao's sudden intrusion before, and immediately stared at him warily, "I'm warning you, don't have any bad thoughts that you shouldn't have!"

Yang Xiao looked away, glanced at Xia Xiuyan with a look of disdain, and said disdainfully: "You are overthinking. I have no problem playing Ning Caichen, but look at yourself, can you play Nie Xiaoqian?"

"you..

Xia Xiuyan was just about to argue when her cell phone rang suddenly. It was Director Ding, urging them to shoot faster. He had just read the weather forecast.

It was said that the rain would get heavier in an hour.

They were also reminded that they must strictly follow the route marked on the map and get all 7 number plates before leaving.

Putting down the phone, Xia Xiuyan was filled with grievances and anger. She originally thought that her heroine would be the one in idol dramas, with exquisite makeup and endless charm in every gesture. But look now, she will be caught in the rain soon. , running around in the mountains and forests, with such a person beside me... . .

Suddenly, Xia Xiuyan shuddered violently. The man standing in front of her changed.

Yang Xiao didn't know when he put on the bull-headed mask, his arms hung down naturally, and his right hand held the rusty kitchen knife tightly.

The next second, a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, making Yang Xiao's side face look even paler.

"You...what do you want to do?!" Xia Xiuyan fainted instantly and couldn't help but retreat.

It was clear that the man in front of her did not move or speak, but Xia Xiuyan clearly felt that the face under the mask became distorted, and finally squeezed out an ugly smile.

"I'm talking to you, Chu...Chu Xi, don't scare me." Xia Xiuyan panicked. Only then did she realize that she didn't understand the guy in front of her at all, and his past was blurry.

"10." Yang Xiao squeezed out one word from his mouth.

Xia Xiuyan: "!!!Chu Xi...you...

"9.

7

"8."

When she counted to 6, Xia Xiuyan's pupils shrank sharply. The man in front of her slowly raised the kitchen knife in his hand, and veins popped out on the back of his hand, which was as white as if the blood had been drained.

Without hesitation, Xia Xiuyan turned around and ran towards the hillside behind her.

"Help! Help!!"

Xia Xiuyan's cry for help echoed in the night, but was quickly washed away by the pouring rain and turned into the cry of a dying person.

Wearing a mask, Yang Xiao seemed to be a different person. Faced with the fleeing Xia Xiuyan, he still stood there and counted the numbers seriously and persistently.

"3.

7

"2."

"1."

The moment the word "1" came out, Yang Xiao suddenly raised his head, his eyes under the mask fixed on the direction of Xia Xiuyan's escape. The next second, he chased after Xia Xiuyan with a knife and rushed into the rain curtain.

The vegetation on the hillside is more lush than expected. There are not many big trees that can block the view, but more bushes.

These bushes, mixed with weeds and some low trees, are a great obstacle to progress.

Xia Xiuyan fled with difficulty. She used an old-fashioned long-handled flashlight to find a way out for herself, but it was unclear whether the route on the map was intentionally arranged. The route marked on it was the most convenient and suitable escape route, at least for her.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Chu Xi... He is just acting, he dare not hurt me." Xia Xiuyan tried her best to comfort herself in her heart.

After a period of psychological construction, she dared to look back, but this one glance dispelled all her fantasies. She saw Yang Xiao holding a knife and chasing behind her for more than 10 meters, and from time to time he swung the knife fiercely, chopping the bushes and branches blocking the road together. He swung a kitchen knife with the momentum of a mountain axe.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the first marked location, one after the other. Yang Xiao found a sign with the number 1 on the trunk of a crooked tree, pulled it off and put it in his pocket.

At the same time, Xia Xiuyan, who was fleeing in a panic, had no time to look back.

If he chased her again, he would catch up. Yang Xiao deliberately slowed down his pace, but from time to time he chopped the tree trunk with a knife and made some strange noises.

He needed to put some pressure on Xia Xiuyan to prepare for the next plan.

After finding a place to shelter from the rain nearby, Yang Xiao took out his mobile phone and made a call, "Where are you?"

"I'm already near point 2." The other party answered, and the background sound was also the messy sound of rain mixed with the rustling of leaves.

"Okay, everything goes according to plan. Be careful not to get too close to us, so as not to reveal your tracks." After giving instructions, Yang Xiao hung up the phone, picked up the kitchen knife, and chased after her.

Xia Xiuyan was in a state of embarrassment at this moment, and the map was also wet by her. "No, if this goes on, he will catch up with me sooner or later. He will definitely not dare to attack me. This must be Director Ding's arrangement, in order to create that kind of immersive horror."

Xia Xiuyan, who was soaked by the heavy rain, slowly calmed down at this moment. After all, it is a society ruled by law, and Chu Xi dare not do anything reckless.

Besides, she has also seen Chu Xi's acting skills with her own eyes. He is very suitable for playing a role that is difficult for ordinary people to figure out, such as a perverted killer.

In this regard, he has an unparalleled talent.

Before Chu Xi caught up, Xia Xiuyan decided to call Sister Shengnan first to ask what was going on in this scene.

But as soon as she took out her mobile phone, she noticed something moving not far away.

There was a tree there, and it was very dark under the tree. Xia Xiuyan couldn't see clearly for a while, so she raised the flashlight and shone it there.

The dim light broke through the darkness, and the next second, Xia Xiuyan saw that it was a person.

A person wearing a beige suit and soaked all over.

"Ah! Ah...Ahhh!"

The shrill screams echoed through the hillside. Hearing the screams, Yang Xiao also quickened his pace and caught up with Xia Xiuyan.

At this moment, Xia Xiuyan fell to the ground, with fallen leaves and mud stuck on her body. She was shivering and her flashlight fell to the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" Yang Xiao put down the kitchen knife and pretended to be concerned.

"Someone, someone is there!!" Xia Xiuyan was so scared that she couldn't speak clearly and her face was pale.

"Where is it?" Yang Xiao looked in the direction of Xia Xiuyan's finger, "No, how could there be someone here? You...did you see it wrong?"

"No!" Xia Xiuyan grabbed Yang Xiao and didn't let go, crying and said, "There is someone, let's...let's go quickly, let's go together, don't leave me."

"Then wait for me, I'll go find the sign of the No. 2 gathering point."

After peeling off the sign on a large rock nearby, Yang Xiao supported Xia Xiuyan and rushed to the 3rd gathering point together.

It was expected that Xia Xiuyan was frightened. This was all in the plan of Yang Xiao and Xu Yu. On the way, Yang Xiao found an opportunity to send a message to Xu Yu, who was dressed as a ghost.

The message was very simple, with only six words: Go to the fourth gathering point.

Now Xia Xiuyan's spirit has not completely collapsed. After her psychological defenses are completely collapsed, Yang Xiao can learn the truth about the night when Teacher Wang died from her mouth.

"Who did you see just now?" Yang Xiao supported Xia Xiuyan and asked pretentiously.

As this question came out, Yang Xiao clearly felt Xia Xiuyan's body tremble, but she was still stubborn, "No... nothing, maybe it's just like you said, I was too nervous and saw it wrong."

Yang Xiao laughed and said in a relaxed tone: "I said, it must be like this, this desolate mountain, it's raining heavily, how could there be anyone here, it's almost like a ghost."

Xia Xiuyan's face turned pale, and she hurriedly interrupted him, "Don't, don't talk nonsense!"

"What's wrong? Just a joke." Yang Xiao shrugged, obviously not taking it seriously.

"This place is full of yin energy, don't... don't mention those bad things."

"If you don't do bad things for a hundred days, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at midnight. We are just filming a movie, and we haven't done anything bad. What's so scary?

"Anyway, don't say it if I tell you not to. This is for your own good." Xia Xiuyan pinched Yang Xiao's arm hard, but her body moved closer to Yang Xiao, her eyes kept looking around nervously, fearing that another figure would appear somewhere.

The road between the No. 2 mark and the No. 3 mark is more difficult to walk, and with Xia Xiuyan, the two of them are not very fast.

Yang Xiao suggested taking a break, but Xia Xiuyan disagreed. She didn't want to stay here any longer.

After walking for about 5 minutes, Xia Xiuyan swallowed her saliva and asked in a low voice: "Chu Xi, do you... do you believe that kind of thing exists?"

"What?" Yang Xiao asked knowingly with a flashlight in his hand.

"It's... that kind of thing, the kind that people will become after death." Xia Xiuyan was not confident enough and her words were weak.

"You said ghost?" Yang Xiao deliberately pronounced the word loudly.

"Don't be so loud, I'm just asking you, do you... do you believe it?"

After pondering for a moment, Yang Xiao finally nodded, "If you must have an answer, then I believe that there is a god above your head."

Yang Xiao quickly added, "There is such a saying in my hometown that only those who died unjustly have the opportunity to become ghosts, and they are fierce ghosts,

the kind that will take lives. As for whether it is true or not, I don't know, after all, no one has seen it."

At this point, Yang Xiao's voice suddenly became sinister, "But think about it, those who have really seen it were also killed by ghosts, don't you think this is the truth?"

"You... don't talk nonsense!" Xia Xiuyan reacted strongly.

"Hey, didn't you ask me? That's what my hometown said, and the older generation knows it." Yang Xiao said dissatisfiedly.

As the two were talking, Xia Xiuyan suddenly raised her hand and excitedly pointed to a tree not far ahead, "Look!"

Looking closely, there was a sign on the trunk with the number 3 written on it.

The number 3 mark point was found.

Just when Yang Xiao was about to go over and take down the sign, Xia Xiuyan suddenly shuddered violently, and her face turned visibly pale.

Her mouth opened wide, her face was full of fear, but she couldn't say a word.

I saw half of her body behind the tree. It was not very clear in the night, but she was wearing a beige suit.

But when Yang Xiao reacted and raised his flashlight to shine over, the figure disappeared strangely again.

"Did you see it? Did you see it?" Xia Xiuyan was completely panicked and shook Yang Xiao's arm.

Yang Xiao was also confused. He comforted Xia Xiuyan first and asked her to sit under the tree to rest for a while. He took the opportunity to send a message to Xu Yu: Wrong, it's the No. 4 gathering point, not the No. 3 gathering point.

A moment later, the other party replied to the message, but when Yang Xiao saw the message, the hair on his back stood up.

"What are you talking about? I have arrived at the No. 4 gathering point. Everything is normal here. How long will it take you?"
