Nightmare Apostle

Sui Chengguo was in a dilemma. If he wanted to leave, he had to pull up the stone, but judging from the feel, the thing under the water was definitely not a fish.

Just when Sui Chengguo hesitated, the underwater rope started to move on its own. The rope was stretched straight and still shaking. Sui Chengguo made a sound in his heart and immediately realized that the thing under the water was grabbing the rope and climbing up!

Although he didn't know what was under the water, even if he had 10 lives to let this thing climb up, it wouldn't be enough for him to die. Sui Chengguo made a prompt decision and directly let go of the hand holding the rope, and sank the half-lifted stone back to the bottom of the river.

At the same time, he immediately started rummaging around the boat, hoping to find a dagger or similar sharp weapon to cut the rope tied to the wooden stake.

What was important at this moment was no longer the mission, but survival, and based on Sui Chengguo's experience, he was convinced that the mission had failed.

There is a big guy underwater, and the huge force has caused the hull to tilt. Sui Chengguo can only try to stand on the other side of the hull to maintain balance. He is facing a lot of pressure, and he can clearly feel that the guy underwater is getting faster and faster. quick.

There was no sharp weapon on the boat that could be used to cut the rope, not even anything that could be used to defend himself. In desperation, Sui Chengguo could only pick up the fishing rod and stand behind the tight rope. Things are showing up,

Just poke it hard with the fishing rod.

The river water at night was black, which made people panic. Soon, a vague shadow appeared under the tight rope under the water. The shadow became bigger and bigger. Just when it was about to break through the water, Sui Chengguo saw the opportunity and fiercely Prick the fishing rod down hard.

The force feedback proved that this was not an illusion. He had indeed hit something, and the next second, the shadow under the water disappeared.

Sui Chengguo didn't dare to let go, and kept guard for another half minute. The thing didn't come back again, and the surroundings were calm.

Even the fog has dissipated a lot.

"Passed?"

There was no time to think about it, and there was not much time left for Sui Chengguo. He tentatively pulled up the rope, and sure enough,

The previous resistance was gone, and he easily pulled the big stone out of the water and put it on the boat.

"Bang."

"Boom.

The next second, Sui Chengguo continued to lift the big stone and bent down to put it on the boat, but he seemed to have been tapped on his acupoints and did not dare to move.

He heard two sounds, one was the sound of him putting down a stone and hitting the ship's plank, and the other was the sound coming from behind.

"Tick tock."

"Tick tock."

There were water dripping on the ship's deck. Who knows why Sui Chengguo could hear it so clearly? There were also waves constantly beating against the ship's side.

Sui Chengguo slowly stood up little by little, his face bloodless. He understood that there was a wet person standing behind him.

No, humans absolutely cannot do this.

It's a ghost.

"It's over..." Sui Chengguo's heart was filled with despair. Even now, he still doesn't understand what he did wrong. "Dong.

"Boom."

"Boom.

The footsteps behind him sounded like death, and they quickly approached him.

The ancestral home of the Du family.

Yang Xiao and others waited anxiously. Counting the time, it was almost an hour, but there was still no news from Sui Chengguo.

"If...if Brother Sui doesn't come back, then do we still have to go?" Wuma Haoming was the second one and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

No one answered him, but Cheng Cha finally shook his head and gave the answer: "No, you don't have any clothes."

Yang Xiao couldn't figure it out. Could it be that this second mission was so dangerous that people like Sui Chengguo were involved in it?

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a ringing sound in the distance, but this ringing sound was a bit strange. Not only was it unclear, but it was also mixed with a dull and dead air.

"The bell is ringing, hurry up, next one!" Tong Han urged.

Wu Ma Minghao, who originally thought he had escaped, did not expect Sui Chengguo to come back at the last moment, so he had no choice but to light the incense and hold it up with both hands. Mi Shu opened the door for him thoughtfully, and everyone watched him leave.

Not long after, Sui Chengguo's figure appeared at the courtyard gate. After everyone saw it clearly, they suddenly became panicked.

Yang Xiao immediately closed the door.

Sui Chengguo was so strange at this moment. Not only did his hands have no fragrance, but his whole body was wet and dripping, as if he had just been fished out of the river.

Seeing the door being closed, Sui Chengguo walked over quickly, his voice hurried and a little panicked, "It's me, I'm really Sui Chengguo!"

There was silence in the room, and everyone held their breath at the same time.

Lu Youcheng looked at the door with frightened eyes, and at the same time kept gesticulating with other people with his hands. Yang Xiao shook his head slightly at him. He knew that Lu Youcheng was asking Wu Ma Haoming, but for now, once Sui Sui was confirmed If there is a problem in Chengguo, then Wuma Haoming will definitely be in trouble.

"Brothers, I don't know how I ended up like this, but I know that I am definitely not a ghost. Please believe me!" Sui Chengguo tried his best to explain to everyone, and at the same time, he explained a series of strange things he had experienced before and They told it in full, but the strange thing was that Sui Chengguo's memory stopped at the moment when the footsteps approached him. To be precise, his memory was missing a section, and that section happened to be the most important.

According to Sui Chengguo, he was still on the boat after he woke up, but he was just lying on the boat. His head was groggy and his whole body was soaked. At the same time, the ghost that climbed onto the boat also disappeared. He is alone.

The river was calm, the fog had dissipated, and the incense had almost burned out. The most bizarre thing was that the boat had docked at some point. He had no time to think about it, and did not dare to delay. He immediately pulled out the incense and jumped disembark,

Hurry back.

Hurrying slowly, I finally got back before the incense burned out and rang the bell outside the gate.

This statement is too bizarre. Without any evidence, it is difficult to gain everyone's trust.

After thinking about it, Tong Han replied: "Brother Sui, don't blame us. Think about it, you wouldn't believe such a bizarre story. It's impossible to open the door. I'd like to ask you to take a rest outside and wait for the wizard." When Ma Haoming comes back, we will open the door for you."

If Sui Chengguo was a ghost in disguise, then Wu Ma Haoming had almost certainly been poisoned by a ghost, so Tong Han's argument was still somewhat convincing.

Sui Chengguo sighed and stopped talking nonsense. Instead of guarding the door, he found a secret and quiet place nearby to hide.

"What do you think?" Tong Han looked at Yang Xiaocheng's coffee table.

Cheng Cha was still observing Sui Chengguo's every move through the crack in the door. After a moment, he looked away and lowered his voice: "The story doesn't look real, and the person doesn't look fake."

"Stop playing riddles and speak human words, okay?" Quan Doufeng cried sadly. He was annoyed by the Riddler the most. If he met them all, he would definitely block them all.

"You won't understand even if I explain to you, just go ahead and play!" Yang Xiao persuaded the aggrieved Quan Doufeng to retreat with a look.

At this moment, there were only three people, Yang Xiaotong and Han Chengcha, left behind the door. The others were either leaning at the crack of the window to observe, or, like Quan Doufeng, they were nervous and at a loss.

"The ghosts I met in the past would try their best to trick us into opening the door, but look at this Sui Chengguo.

He seems... .seems quite normal. Cheng Cha then added: "However, I completely agree with Miss Tong's arrangement. I will not open the door without seeing Wu Ma Haoming."

,

Tong Han suddenly laughed, "You're overthinking it. Even if Wu Ma Haoming comes back, he can't open the door. I just plan to stabilize him first."

Hearing this, Cheng Cha couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Miss Tong's planning is indeed a hero among women, I admire you."

"You and each other are also very cunning, but I have something to remind you: see through it without telling it off.

You are smart and know what to do. "Yang Xiao reached out and patted Cheng Cha on the shoulder. To outsiders, the two of them were very close.

Cheng Cha understood, his eyes lingered on Yang Xiaotonghan for a moment, and he laughed softly: "I understand completely. My father often teaches me that there are many friends and many paths outside. You and Miss Tong are both trustworthy friends. There are some problems with this mission." It's strange, people are not like humans or ghosts. If you want to find a way out, everyone must cooperate, and you two must also be useful to me. "

"I have a plan later, and maybe I need your help." Cheng Cha lowered his voice and looked at Yang Xiao Tonghan with sincerity in his eyes.

"Tell me about it." Yang Xiao neither agreed nor refused. He was more curious about Cheng Cha's plan itself.

"I plan to go out later." Cheng Cha said, "Go to Miss Du's boudoir to have a look."

Tong Han was a little surprised, "You are quite courageous."

Cheng Cha made a grimace and pretended to be scared, "I'm very timid, but I can't do it if I don't go.

First, there is something strange behind the screen in that room. This kind of strangeness is most obvious at night. I want to verify it.

Secondly, do you still remember what the maid said? I touched that screen during the day and it might have been caught in something dirty. I have to find out, otherwise I'm afraid I will die inexplicably. "

"Can't we go during the day?" Yang Xiao didn't quite understand this person's thinking.

"No, the risk may not be less during the day than at night. The Du family is obviously wary of us. You two should also understand that something is not right here. The people in Dujia Village are a great threat to us. I suspect that Liu Haiping was... They killed them. During the day, we have to guard against both ghosts and people, but at night we only need to be careful of ghosts. People in Dujia Village will not go out at night." Cheng Cha seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile, "During the day. Don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door at night. I think the people in Dujia Village must have done something outrageous and suffered retribution, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."

"When do you plan to leave?" Yang Xiao asked.

"Wait and see, at least make a preliminary judgment whether the Sui Chengguo outside is real or fake." Cheng Cha looked at Yang Xiao and Tong Han, "You two, I need a helper. You don't need to be involved in danger. Just help me out outside. Are you interested?"

"No." They both said in unison.
