Nightmare Apostle

After Liu Butler brought them here, he turned around and left. It seemed that there was something more important. He was probably waiting for the paper-making craftsman who would never come back.

Without Liu Butler, everyone talked without worries. Kuang Hongyi's experience was similar to Yang Xiao's. He also ran into the paper man Third Young Master not long after entering the water. After the two of them saw through it, they immediately drove away in the boat and rushed towards the direction of the Kongming lanterns.

Just as Yang Xiao thought, these two teams had never released Kongming lanterns.

And the accident happened at this moment. Kuang Hongyi and his team ran into a boat with a white lantern hanging on the bow on the road. They thought it was a teammate, but when they got closer, they found that the person standing on it was Sun Amao, who had died long ago.

Fortunately, the two reacted in time and finally avoided a collision at the last moment. But before they could catch their breath, the other party actually caught up from behind and bit their boat tightly.

At this moment, Kuang Hongyi and his men did not dare to run anymore, because in the fog ahead, there were shadows of several boats, with people standing on them.

Just like that, Sun Amao and his men's boat bumped into them from behind, and then Sun Amao and another bloated drowned ghost climbed onto their boat in a strange way.

Kuang Hongyi relied on his good skills and found the right opportunity to jump onto Sun Amao's boat after a while, but Xu Su's luck was not so good. She was caught by Sun Amao, and then the three figures entangled together and fell into the water.

Kuang Hongyi wanted to help with a pole, but it was too late. After struggling in the water, the three figures sank.

Kuang Hongyi sighed solemnly, "Later, I saw the big red lanterns rising in the distance, so I drove the boat over and got ashore. It's a pity that Xu Su..."

"Brother Kuang is kind-hearted, so don't blame yourself too much for Miss Xu Su's matter." Shi Dali comforted him sympathetically: "After all, no one wants to see such a thing happen."

"Yes, yes, Brother Kuang, you have tried your best." Shi Guanming also echoed.

In comparison, the experience of Shi Dali and the others was much simpler. They didn't encounter any strange things. Shi Dali explained that he was a crew member and knew a lot of ways to travel on the water, but he had never seen the rules of offering incense on the bow, so after the boat left the sight of Liu Guanjia and others, he checked the incense burner, and he found the problem.

The top layer of the incense burner was indeed incense ash, but buried underneath was white rice soaked in blood. This was not a thing to ward off evil spirits at all, it would only attract evil spirits!

After discovering the problem, Shi Dali decisively threw the incense burner into the lake. Afterwards, they wanted to find the other two teams to inform them on the foggy lake, but they got lost. They had no choice but to follow the guidance of the red lanterns back to the shore.

"If we had met Brother Shi earlier, we wouldn't have suffered so much, and Sister Xu Su wouldn't have died." Yang Xiao said with some emotion.

After observing the surroundings and finding no one eavesdropping, Kuang Hongyi suddenly lowered his voice, "Everyone in this Feng Mansion is not right. This time, they openly asked us to go find the third young master, but in fact, they asked us to die. Xu Su didn't come back, and they didn't even ask."

"And the boat I drove back was clearly a sunken ship! It must have sunk in the lake for some time. I saw many similar ships in the fog. How could there be so many sunken ships in this lake, and how many people died?"

Shi Dali nodded, his expression became serious: "If you say so, most of the people who died in the lake were servants in the mansion. I suspect that Master Feng is using the lives of the servants to prolong his own life. The death of Sun Amao is probably designed by them."

Just after chatting for a while, a servant from the mansion hurried over and said that Butler Liu asked a few people to go back to the room to rest first, and also warned mysteriously that what happened tonight must not be spread to others.

When they walked to the front of the room, Yang Xiao and Kuang Hongyi paused, and saw a red lantern hanging on each side of their door.

Pushing open the door, Yang Xiao saw Su Tingting still lying on the bed, and seemed to be really asleep. If he listened carefully, he could hear a slight snoring.

The servant who sent them back explained that he was worried that Su Fuke would have a hysterical attack at night and disturb the two of them, so he asked the doctor to prescribe a herbal medicine for calming the nerves. It had just been boiled and Su Fuke drank it, guaranteeing that he would sleep until dawn.

"The newcomer is so nice, so heartless, he falls asleep as soon as he lies down." At this moment, Yang Xiao even envied Su Tingting a little.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Kuang Hongyi staring at him with a strange look, "Ahem, brother Chu, you are also a newcomer."

Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and it took him a few seconds to react. He had unconsciously put himself into the role of an old player. Then he waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "Maybe I have been with Brother Kuang for a long time, and I have improved too fast."

Kuang Hongyi did not dwell on this matter. After sending the servant away, Kuang Hongyi walked towards Su Tingting and confirmed that she was asleep. Then he pulled Yang Xiao to sit on another bed. His whole temperament changed. Then he rolled up his trouser legs. There was a bloodstained cloth tied on his calf. When he opened it, there was a scar.

The scar was very fresh and still bleeding. The wound was very smooth. Yang Xiao immediately thought of the short knife stuck on the edge of the boat.

Kuang Hongyi gritted his teeth, with a hideous look in his eyes, "Xu Su, that woman wants to kill me!"

"What's going on?" Yang Xiao asked.

"Before, in front of Shi Dali and the others, I couldn't say some things directly, but you and I, brother Chu, are trustworthy. This is what happened. After our boat was caught up by Sun Amao, I found that Xu Su was not panicked at all. She didn't say anything when I asked her anything. Moreover, Sun Amao and the other drowned ghost, they... they seemed to only see me!"

"It was grave soil." Yang Xiao realized immediately, "Xu Su held grave soil in her mouth."

"That's right." Kuang Hongyi nodded viciously, "I thought of it quickly, so I asked her for it, but she didn't give it to me, and she even pulled a knife on me. This woman is so bad. She knows that as long as one of us dies, those things will leave."

"Those things will only kill one person at a time?" Yang Xiao seemed to have grasped the key point.

"Well, that's usually the case."

Later, Yang Xiao went to find medicine. There was still some medicine left from Su Tingting's injury. Kuang Hongyi's method of treating the wound was very professional, and he had obviously done targeted practice.

After bandaging the wound with a clean cloth, Kuang Hongyi leaned against the bed and let out a long sigh, "Brother Chu, that Shi Dali is not a pushover. He noticed something was wrong with the incense burner on the bow early on, but he didn't say anything. You must be on guard against him."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Yang Xiao patted Kuang Hongyi's arm, "Besides, you're here, Brother Kuang."

"Yes, brothers like you and I can work together, and we can definitely get out!"
