Nightmare Apostle

"Are you Brother Nongfayi?" Yang Xiao walked up slowly and said hello.

The old man raised his cloudy eyes and looked at Yang Xiao. Only then did Yang Xiao and the others notice that the old man's complexion was sallow and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Cough...cough cough..." The old man kept coughing dryly, "It's...it's me. You are looking for me to ask about that matter, right?"

"We are from the County Land Bureau and would like to ask about the situation of Dongzhou Apartment."

But as soon as Yang Xiao finished speaking, Nong Fayi's expression changed, "Liar, you are from the police. I have taken you to the scene. I...ahem...I have told you many times. , you can’t go to that place, it should be closed forever, even the name of it should not be mentioned, you don’t listen, you just don’t listen.”

"Brother Nong, what happened there? What do you know?" Seeing that the opponent has already shown his cards, Yang Xiao is too lazy to pretend. To deal with such people, sometimes it is better to go straight.

"Dead people... They are all dead people... There are ghosts there! There are ghosts there!" Nong Fayi grasped the armrests of the recliner with his thin hands, panting.

"Have you seen it?" Yang Xiao asked.

"It's impossible to survive if you see it. I saw the death of those people. It's too terrible. There can't be a murderer. You can't catch the murderer because it's a ghost. It's all done by ghosts." Nong Fayi's emotion He became more and more nervous, as if recalling the horrific scenes of that year, "Listen to my advice, old man, and stop investigating. Don't you still think that not enough people have died?"

Yang Xiao pretended to be frightened by the old man. After hesitating again and again, he finally sighed, "Okay, thank you very much. Take care of yourself." After saying that, Yang Xiao didn't hesitate at all, turned around and walked out. Zhijie was dumbfounded. He couldn't find out anything after all the trouble. Wasn't his visit in vain?

But in the next second, Ximen Xiu grabbed his arm and lowered his voice, "Let's go, don't just stand there, let's go quickly."

Although he didn't know why, out of instinct, Zhuge Zhijie followed the two of them and left obediently. Just as they were about to walk out of the yard, a voice from behind suddenly called out to them, "Young boys, if...if you have to... Why don't you come back to me? I have something you can use. I... cough..."

As if Yang Xiao didn't hear him, he left with Ximen Xiu and Zhuge Zhijie. Zhuge Zhijie, who was walking at the end, seemed to realize something.

The footsteps of Yang Xiao and Ximen Xiu looked normal, and the frequency was not fast, but their steps were obviously much larger than normal. He had to walk very fast to keep up with them.

And at some point Yang Xiao put his hand into his waist, and Zhuge Zhijie knew that there was a pistol hidden inside.

After returning to the car safely, Yang Xiao asked Ximen Xiu to press the horn a few times. After a while, Yang Xiao's face darkened and said, "Let's go!"

"What's going on?" Zhuge Zhijie, who was sitting in the back row, looked confused.

"There's an ambush." ​​Yang Xiao took out his gun and stared in the direction of the house. His other hand was inserted into his backpack, his eyes full of vigilance. "That person just now was not Nong Fayi."

Zhuge Zhijie opened his eyes wide, "No? How do you know it's not?"

Ximen Xiu stepped on the accelerator and the car drove in the direction it came from. At this moment, the sky had become gloomy and it was about to rain. Ximen Xiu was even more nervous than Yang Xiao, and his hands were trembling, "Zhijie, please use your brain. Look at this day, it’s about to start raining, and the yard is full of grain and dried vegetables. Is this possible that this family is not in a hurry to pick up the vegetables? "

Yang Xiao held the opera robe tightly in his backpack and continued to explain to Zhuge Zhijie: "Also, their watchdog is also missing. I felt that it was too quiet nearby. The watchdogs in the countryside are very fierce and there are strangers." They kept shouting when we were nearby, but you didn’t notice that there was no movement from the nearby families during the time we were there. I asked Ximen Xiu to press the horn several times, but there was no response.”

Now Zhuge Zhijie's back was covered in cold sweat, "If it's not Nong Fayi, then who was that person just now? And... and that woman?"

"I don't know." Yang Xiao told Ximen Xiu to calm down and drive slowly so as not to let the other party notice, although he was 90% sure that they had been exposed.

After waiting for the car to enter the city, Yang Xiao directly called Director Nalan, and then contacted the local patrol office. After receiving Yang Xiao's information, the local patrol office immediately took action and sent a team to the Agricultural Development Zone. The abode of righteousness.

Prior to this, Yang Xiao had received a verified photo of Nong Fayi from the local public office. Sure enough, comparing the two, he was not the same person at all.

About half an hour later, people from the local patrol office found Yang Xiao. The leader was the female officer named Meng. The woman looked pale and said, "Captain Yang, I'm sorry, it was our negligence. There... something happened there. We were in the backyard." The body of Nong Fayi was found. The situation at the scene is complicated. Please go and take a look for yourself. "

Soon, they returned to the few brick houses, but now they were surrounded by people, and there were people in police uniforms nearby holding a cordon.

Officer Meng walked in with Yang Xiao and the others. The scene in the yard was still the same as before. There was light rain in the sky, and it was gray in the distance, which made people feel depressed.

The dirty wooden basin used by the middle-aged woman, the recliner where the "Nongfayi" sat, and the wooden crutches were all placed in place, but the people were missing.

Of course, no one cares about the grains and dried radishes all over the ground, including the clothes on the clothesline, which are being soaked by the rain.

Passing through the old brick house and arriving at the backyard, as soon as I got closer, the stench of excrement came out along with an unknown fishy smell. At this moment, there were several people in white coats gathered near the pig pen. .

There were no pigs in the pigsty, only a large piece of blue tarpaulin with some wet straw scattered around, and there were bulges under the tarpaulin.

Seeing Yang Xiao and others coming, a man in a white coat and a mask walked up and opened a corner of the tarpaulin. Inside was a dug pit with 8 or 9 corpses lying in various directions. There are layers of people, both men and women, most of them are elderly people, and there is also a little girl with twin ponytails.

"What a fool..." Ximen Xiu gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Captain Yang, there are a total of 11 corpses here. They are all from nearby farmers. Nong Fayi and his wife are also inside." After a pause,

Officer Meng took a deep breath and said, "There is no one alive around here."

Yang Xiao looked at the man in a white coat who lifted up the rainproof cloth and asked, "When did these people die and what was the cause of death?" Yang Xiao did not see any blood for the time being.

The man pushed up his glasses with the back of his hand and said in a low voice, "The time of death should have been 2 hours ago. The cause of death...the cause of death was very strange. They were strangled to death, and they strangled themselves to death."

"Strangle yourself to death?"

"Yes, although it is strange to say this, based on the fingerprints extracted from the necks of these deceased people, it can be determined that they were all strangled to death by themselves. As for how it was done, we don't know." After the man finished speaking, He stepped back, as if to avoid suspicion.

"It's the resentful eyes." Yang Xiao didn't think what he thought.

‘Yes, it must be someone who activated the Eye of Resentment here and awakened the ghost in the Eye of Resentment. The evil cultivator must be them! "Ximen Xiu didn't expect to bump into those guys here.

Yang Xiao couldn't help but feel scared. The old guy wanted to trick them into entering the house. If they really went in, they would be dead.

"Do you have any cigarettes?" Yang Xiao looked at Ximen Xiu.

Ximen Xiu was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded, "Yes, Captain, the smell here is strong, why don't we go out and smoke?"

"Yes." Yang Xiao said hello to Officer Meng, then took out a cigarette and walked out without lighting it. At the same time, he shouted: "Zhijie, you want one too."

Zhuge Zhijie, like Yang Xiao, never smoked, but he followed along very cooperatively.

The three of them walked out of the courtyard gate and came to the river ditch beside the dirt road. Each of them had a cigarette, and all of them lit up, whether they knew how or not.

"Captain, what do you want to say?" Ximen Xiu said clearly, knowing that Yang Xiao had something to say.

Yang Xiao looked at the staff coming and going in the courtyard not far away, slowly exhaled and lowered his voice: "Don't you think something is wrong? According to the time of death, these evil cultivators almost arrived before us. "

Zhuge Zhijie reacted, "You said they came for us?"

"It should be that someone leaked the news." Yang Xiao lowered his voice and looked at the staff on duty outside with a strange look.

"Do you suspect it's someone from the local patrol office in Qingfeng?" Ximen Xiu couldn't help but be surprised. If that was the case, it would be troublesome. "I don't know, there are many ways for the information to be leaked, and it doesn't necessarily have to be from the local patrol office, but One thing is that we are definitely being targeted." Yang Xiao expressed his suspicion, "There is no reason for the evil cultivators to suddenly cause trouble for us. I suspect it was an accident this time. Maybe some of them bumped into the same person as me. Nightmare mission."

Zhuge Zhijie nodded, "I have read some of the declassified information, and there is indeed a precedent for this. The evil cult will eliminate public officials who threaten them in the nightmare mission in advance. Of course, we will also, if we really have the chance. "

After realizing it, Ximen Xiu looked at Yang Xiao worriedly, "Captain, if this is the case, then you must have been exposed. The evil cultivators assigned to the same mission as you must know your identity, and the enemy will be hiding you." Zaiming will take advantage of every opportunity to attack you."

"It doesn't matter, I'm worried about another thing now." Yang Xiao looked up at the sky. The sky was already dark and it would be dark soon. It was hard to say whether those evil cultivators would attack him at night.

"We will stay at the Qingfeng Patrol Station at night." Yang Xiao knew what was best for him.

"Wouldn't living there be a trap?" After listening to Yang Xiao's analysis, Zhuge Zhijie suddenly felt that except for the three of them, the rest of the people were unreliable. The information was most likely leaked by the local patrol office.

But Ximen Xiu figured it out and nodded repeatedly, "You're right, we will stay at the Qingfeng Patrol Station tonight. Nowhere else will be safer than here. Even if someone is really colluding with evil cultivators, they won't dare to attack us here. Let's start, hehe, if a captain and two team members die here without any reason, no one in the Qingfeng Patrol Department will be able to get away with it."

"Also, report what happened here to the director. Also, Zhijie, find a safe line. Don't use the public communication channel in the office. Ask Beibei and the others for a list of Qingfeng Patrol Office personnel, with photos. That kind of thing." Yang Xiaozhu ordered.

"You want to check them?" Ximen Xiu frowned, "Captain, your time is very tight, don't waste it here, you should think about what to do in the nightmare."

Yang Xiao looked at the busy people not far away again. Most of them were wearing the same uniform that Yang Xiao hung on the hanger in the office. "No, I want to recognize these people's faces. If I really run into them in the nightmare world, I can be prepared."

Zhuge Zhijie was even more confused now. "What do you mean? Didn't you just say that they were evil cultivators? Why did you drag the people from the Qingfeng Office into this?"

"It's better to be prepared than not. I can survive until now, except for this face, the rest is all due to being cautious. It's better to be safe than sorry." Throwing away the cigarette butt, Yang Xiao followed up with a kick and stomped it out instantly.
