Nightmare Apostle

After confirming that the director believed it, Yang Xiao finally put away the ghost whisk, and at this moment, Nalan Shuo's heart was also put back in his stomach.

"Director, I am sincere to you!" Yang Xiao continued to express his loyalty.

Nalan Shuo waved his hand, took a long breath, and then reminded him, "Don't take out such dangerous things easily in the future. Once discovered by outsiders, you will be in big trouble!"

"But Director, you are not an outsider." Yang Xiao vowed.

"It doesn't matter if you are not an outsider. Anyway, next time you come, just come, don't bring this kind of thing into my office." Nalan Shuo did not leave any room for negotiation.

"Understood!"

"Also, from this document, Huang Guochao has dispelled his suspicion of you, which is a good thing." Nalan Shuo reminded, "You played this trick of diverting trouble well. Now the entire city center office has been mobilized. They are looking for traces of the Yuyuan Sect everywhere, especially the evil cultivators of the Shang Sect inside. They must catch this Hades Emperor Ye Xiao."By the way, what did you write in Huang Laoguai's office?" Nalan Shuo asked curiously.

"Nothing, just improvised a little poem. "Yang Xiao humbly told what he had written.

But before he finished speaking, Nalan Shuo couldn't hold back his smile. Yang Xiao immediately understood and pretended to comment on Huang Guochao's calligraphy. In short, it was not as good as his own Director Nalan, and praised his own Director Nalan's calligraphy for having the style of a deputy director.

Nalan Shuo took a sip of tea and said calmly: "This kind of thing should be said behind closed doors by our family. Don't spread it outside. You know, I don't like to hear it."

"I understand." Yang Xiao was very humble.

"Okay, go back. You have been busy with a lot of things during this period. I will give you a few days off and have a good rest. But there is one thing, you must keep the communication open. If something happens, I want to know where you are. "Nalan Shuo emphasized.

It was a bit busy during this period, and Yang Xiao also felt that he needed a break. After get off work, he first found a restaurant to have a good meal, and then bought some egg tarts and other sweets to prepare for breakfast the next day.

In fact, when he passed by the cake shop, he wanted to buy a cream cake, but the last time he cut out the script box while cutting the cake, it shocked him too much. Until now, he still has a shadow when he sees the cake.

Back to the apartment, Yang Xiao took off his clothes and planned to take a shower first, but the next second, he looked at himself in the mirror,

his pupils shrank uncontrollably.

Right on his left shoulder, a piece of robe fragments grew, and the color was dazzling red.

Instantly, Yang Xiao thought that this position had been seriously injured by Qu Muzhi. Originally, this blow could have crippled his entire left arm, but the strange power that suddenly erupted from the robe offset most of it, Because of this, he was able to escape.

This was not the first time this happened. The last time was on his back. Yang Xiao understood that this was the price of the robe protecting him.

Touching the fragments of the red robe with his hand, the strange touch was chilling, and the robe was still gently squirming, like some kind of living thing. Yang Xiao was not worried about being noticed by others because of exposing his body, because it would disappear soon.

It was not the kind of disappearance in the true sense, but it would become the same color as his skin, unless you touch it with your hand,

otherwise it would not be visible at all.

But this feeling of letting his body be gradually eaten away made him very uncomfortable, but think about it, there is nothing to complain about, after all, the robe saved him more than once.

Yang Xiao is not as confused as he was before. He already knows that the origin of the robe may be related to a nine-story demon tower.

Tianshui Pavilion.

At night, Yang Xiao fell asleep in a daze. In his dream, he returned to the Feng family mansion again. The Feng family mansion had long been in ruins, with broken doors and windows, fallen plaques, and no one was around. The yard was overgrown with weeds. It had only been a few months since he left, but it seemed like decades had passed.

He was like a wandering soul in the yard, moving forward aimlessly. The Feng family mansion was full of ghosts. He saw many familiar figures flash by one after another, including a girl with pigtails dancing with a lantern, a group of drowned ghosts who were soaked all over, and the sound of opera singing in the backyard was faintly heard. The tune was mournful and mixed with an indescribable pain.

What Yang Xiao couldn't understand was that these ghosts were very repulsive to his arrival, even fearful.

As soon as he approached, these guys disappeared. Yang Xiao tried to chase the girl with pigtails, but she ran faster and faster. , jumping higher and higher, and with the last jump, the whole person jumped directly over the courtyard wall.

Yang Xiao did not give up, and went to find the water ghosts again, but the several female ghosts who were trapped and crying at the entrance saw Yang Xiao coming, and they could not escape, so they were anxious and finally stepped on their feet and jumped directly into the well.

There were also several hanged ghosts under the big locust tree. Before Yang Xiao could get close, these guys climbed up the tree trunk along the hanging rope. Several ghosts trembled and hugged each other. Looking at Yang Xiao's expression, it seemed that he was the ghost.

Yang Xiao broke the door again and ran to the backyard. This was where they used to live in the Feng family mansion. The backyard faced a lake. At this moment, someone was singing on the lake. It was a woman dressed in a gorgeous dress, standing on a wooden boat painted bright red. The wooden boat was slowly sinking, and the woman's left foot was tied with a rope, and the other end was fixed on the wooden stake at the bow.

Knowing that she was about to sink with the boat, the woman sang very hard, and her singing voice was long and full of endless pain.

As the most critical part of the Feng family mansion, the importance of the opera ghost is self-evident. Yang Xiao thought that he might be able to find out from her the reason why these ghosts were afraid of him, so he walked along the shore and finally walked in the reed swamp. I found a small wooden boat nearby.

Without hesitation, Yang Xiao jumped on the wooden boat, paddled with his hands, and approached the big boat and the female ghost in the middle of the lake. The female ghost looked at him, but the next second, the female ghost suddenly stopped singing or dancing. , Yang Xiao obviously saw fear on the face of the female ghost under the complicated makeup.

Yang Xiao waved warmly to the female ghost, "Don't be afraid, I'm a human, wait for me, I have something to ask...

Before she finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound, and the female ghost turned around and resolutely threw herself into the lake.

This scene made Yang Xiao on the boat dumbfounded.

How could I be so good as to be able to force these ghosts to this point? It would be great if I really had this ability. Wouldn't it be a random act of killing the next time I enter the nightmare world?

But at the same time, he also understood that this was just a fantasy.

Looking at the bright full moon above his head and the dark lake below his feet, Yang Xiao felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.

But the next second, his lowered gaze suddenly stopped, and his pupils suddenly shrank. In the reflection on the lake, he saw a person standing behind him on his small boat.

It's a woman in red.

Almost pressed against his back.
