Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 44: Sacrifice

After trying several times, Yang Xiao did not respond at all. The people behind him could not sit still. After a moment of silence, footsteps were heard.

When the footsteps gradually faded away, Yang Xiao gradually moved his body, straightened his upper body, and stood up a little. The next second, the footsteps that had faded away immediately turned back, and his tone was very excited, "Chu Fu Ke, you finally figured it out. Come on, leave with me. Brother Kuang is waiting for us outside the door!"

But Yang Xiao did not turn his head back, and sat down again, keeping the same movements as the paper figures around him, watching the show peacefully.

The same thing happened three times in a row, and the guy also returned three times, and then simply stopped leaving. Yang Xiao did not look back, but he felt that the other party should have found a seat to sit down and planned to fight him to the end.

Yang Xiao was willing to do this not because he was in a good mood to play with ghosts, but because he realized a very critical problem. This guy's target tonight should be the three people who participated in the ghost show.

The first target was Kuang Hongyi, he was the second, and then it was Su Tingting's turn.

Judging from the direction of his footsteps just now, this guy was going to go around and go behind the white cloth on the stage. Yang Xiao could think of the most likely thing that would happen next. This person hid behind the white cloth and used the same method to trick Su Tingting, who was singing, and tried every means to interrupt the ghost show.

Although Su Tingting was possessed by a ghost, she should also have a role, otherwise this character would be absolutely safe tonight, which doesn't make sense.

The most important thing is that once the ghost show is interrupted, more than one Su Tingting will die. The ghosts in the audience will explode instantly, and then he and Kuang Hongyi will not be able to escape.

At this time, the importance of a reliable teammate is reflected. If it was Kuang Hongyi or Shi Dali on the stage, Yang Xiao would not have this concern.

Sure enough, not long after the guy sat down, Yang Xiao noticed the changes on the stage. Su Tingting's expression changed. Her face was full of fear, but the posture of her hands and her singing were still full of charm, quite like a master.

Su Tingting is back?

No, that's not right. Ximo still occupies this body, and Su Tingting can feel everything that is happening in this body, but it is just a feeling, and she can't control it.

Yang Xiao secretly said in his heart that it was a close call. If he had let that guy go just now, and let him jump out to disrupt the situation at such a critical moment, it would be really dangerous.

Su Tingting looked down at the stage, her whole face was distorted with fear, until she noticed Yang Xiao and cast a look at him for help.

Slowly, Yang Xiao's hair stood up, and he could feel a creepy chill coming from multiple directions behind him.

The paper people also noticed Su Tingting's sight, and more and more gloomy eyes were focused on the back of Yang Xiao.

"Chu Fu Ke, run with me quickly, otherwise, hehehe..."

A hoarse voice came, and the guy hidden in the paper man didn't even pretend, and let out a creepy and sinister laugh.

Yang Xiao didn't move, and gave Su Tingting a look that said "be careful, I'll stab you", and Su Tingting was so scared that she immediately looked away.

Then, the cold eyes behind Yang Xiao gradually disappeared, as if everything before was an illusion.

As the ghost play progressed, the incense in the incense burner burned more and more vigorously. Yang Xiao counted and found that the third offering had to be replaced in advance.

Trying not to move his upper body, Yang Xiao secretly lifted the red cloth covering the bamboo basket with his hands, then took out three apples from it, wrapped them with the shroud, and prepared to set off.

But then, an unexpected scene happened. The incense in the last incense burner burned violently, and the incense was so strong that there was even an open flame. Nearly one-third of the dozens of incense sticks were burned in an instant.

Yang Xiao: "!!!"

Yang Xiao was stunned. The offering corresponding to this last incense burner was candy and candied fruit. From the beginning to just now, the offerings here were almost untouched. Why did they suddenly eat so fiercely? How many of them came?

And this offering was prepared for children. Where did so many child ghosts come from?

Yang Xiao couldn't figure out what went wrong for a while, but now that things have come to this point, the offering must be replaced, otherwise something big will happen!

He grabbed a handful of candies from the last bamboo basket and stuffed them into the shroud. Yang Xiao set off in a hurry.

He walked in a straight line from the leftmost side of the first row to the right, with his heels almost rubbing against his toes.

There were rows of paper figures on his side, as if they were inspecting Yang Xiao to deliver the sacrifice. Yang Xiao remembered the old man's words and looked straight ahead, trying not to look down at the feet of the paper figures.

"Huh?"

The next second, Yang Xiao's body swayed, and he suddenly lost his balance and fell forward.

At the critical moment, Yang Xiao hugged the shroud tightly in his arms, then turned sideways until he fell to the ground.

This fall was not bad. Half of Yang Xiao's body was numb, but the shroud was still there, and the sacrifice inside was not exposed, let alone falling to the ground.

Yang Xiao immediately got up, grabbed the shroud tightly, and continued to walk as if nothing had happened, but his heart was already full of turmoil. Just now... just now, a foot tripped him!

But he had walked this road before and kept a distance from those paper figures, so it was impossible for him to hit the paper figures' feet.

The foot that tripped him appeared suddenly, and at this moment, a faint laughter sounded behind him.

"Okay, okay." Yang Xiao recognized that the laughter belonged to the guy before, and it was also him who tripped him just now.

But it was really dangerous. If he reacted a little slower and the sacrifice fell to the ground, he would have died today.

Time did not allow him to continue thinking. Yang Xiao quickly replaced the candies, and then the apples in the No. 3 offering plate.

Strangely enough, when he passed by the No. 4 offering plate on his way back, Yang Xiao suddenly felt cold in his limbs and dizzy. A gust of cold wind blew around him. Listening carefully, there was a strange sound in the wind.

Yang Xiao subconsciously wanted to close his left eye and use his right eye to see what was going on at the No. 4 offering plate. However, a piercing voice suddenly broke out on the stage. The sound was extremely discordant and even disrupted the rhythm of the singing. Yang Xiao raised his head suddenly and saw Su Tingting staring at him with fear in her eyes, as if she had seen a very scary scene.

Without hesitation, Yang Xiao left immediately. He knew that Su Tingting was reminding him that she, who was possessed by Xi Mo, could see things that he could not see. She must have seen a terrifying existence near the No. 4 offering plate just now, which was more terrifying than the paper figures under the stage.

Su Tingting was willing to take the risk of the ghost show getting out of control to remind herself, which was enough to prove how dangerous the scene just now was. But what Yang Xiao couldn't figure out was what on earth she had seen. Could it be that apart from these drowned ghosts under the stage, there were even more terrifying things in the Feng Mansion?
