Nightmare Apostle

As Shi Guanming's body sank into the water, the fog on the lake gradually dispersed, and Shi Dali seized the opportunity to sail the boat to the shore.

Not long after landing, I heard a rush of footsteps approaching. I turned around and saw a white lantern floating out from around the corner.

The person holding the white lantern was Chu Xi, and Kuang Hongyi was following behind him. If you look closely, you can see that Kuang Hongyi has his back slightly hunched over, and he is carrying someone behind him.

"What's going on?" Shi Dali stepped forward to greet him. At this moment, the fog on the lake had dissipated, the dark clouds above his head had cracked, and the moonlight was pouring down. The crisis tonight was over.

Shi Dali was also holding a lantern in his hand. Yang Xiao had noticed him just now and said, "I lost my strength and passed out during the last line of the play."

Kuang Hongyi looked around and couldn't find Shi Guanming. An ominous premonition arose in his heart, "Where is Shi Guanming?"

"He...he's dead." Shi Dali's eyes turned red. "I wanted to save him, but I couldn't. Something went wrong underwater. Ximei pretended to be the third young master, but she didn't leave! She's still there!"

Kuang Hongyi was stunned and looked at Shi Dali in disbelief, "What's going on? The resentful soul of Xime didn't go to the opera?"

This sentence also completely aroused Yang Xiao's doubts. He had felt that there was something wrong with the ghost singing on the stage. It was different from what he heard at the lake. With his right eye, he could see that there was also a drowned ghost on the stage, and his singing skills were all the same. Top-notch, these are all in line with Xime’s characteristics.

"Are you sure that the thing under the water is Xi?" Compared with this, Yang Xiao was even more doubtful about Shi Dali's judgment.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Ximei was wearing the third young master's clothes and floating on the water. Her face was completely rotten. The third young master's body had only been soaked in the water for a day. There is absolutely no way it would look like that. ”

Shi Dali recalled the profile of the third young master's body as it faced downstream, and was still frightened. Moreover, Shi Guanming said to prove it, "The other end of the underwater rope is tied to the third young master's feet. Is that corpse Xi?" You can’t go wrong!”

Then Shi Dali and the two of them quickly explained what happened on the lake. Of course, he erased the fact that he plotted against Shi Guanming in the narrative.

In the new story, Shi Dali took the lead in entering the water and led Shi Guanming to search together. However, the visibility underwater was extremely poor. Shi Dali got lost. In the end, he had no choice but to surface for air. Shi Guanming naturally found the boat and also found it. Hi, that's why he was killed.

This also perfectly explains the perspective in the subsequent narrative, why Shi Dali saw it from the water.

In addition, the resentful spirit after Shi Guanming's death also came to see him. Shi Dali did not hide this, and told him exactly what Shi Guanming said and how he behaved.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiao judged that Shi Dali would not deceive him on such a critical issue. There was indeed a problem underwater, and the murderer was also Xi.

So the crux of the problem arises. Since Xi Mo is in the lake, who is singing on the stage tonight? Or what the hell is it?

Seeing the soaked Shi Dali shivering, Kuang Hongyi suggested that Shi Dali come to their room tonight to spend the night so that everyone could get together and figure out the whole story. However, Shi Dali shook his head and refused because he was worried that he would be liked. If you keep a close eye on it, it will harm everyone.

After returning to the room and settling down the unconscious Su Tingting, Yang Xiao and Kuang Hongyi sat together. The experience tonight was too thrilling, and the two of them have not completely calmed down yet.

"Brother Kuang, what do you think of what Shi Dali said?" Yang Xiao asked.

Kuang Hongyi sneered, "I can only believe half of it at most. Shi Guanming's death must have something to do with him. I don't believe that Shi Dali, a new player, can easily find the boat that Shi Dali, an old player, can't find."

"But I think he didn't lie to us about Xi Mo. After all, Shi Guanming is really dead. This cannot be faked. And all the innocent souls in the mansion were attracted to the ghost show. Anyone who can kill people, except Xi Mo, is me. Can't think of anything else."

Kuang Hongyi's thoughts are consistent with Yang Xiao's. Now the problem is becoming clearer. The most likely problem is that there is something wrong with the soul summoning ritual. Isn't the resentful soul they attracted a happy one?

"Is the Feng family trying to harm us?" Kuang Hongyi looked suspicious, "They gave us a fake birth date. Isn't this person happy at all?"

Before Yang Xiao had time to speak, Kuang Hongyi overturned his previous assumption, "But...but this doesn't make sense. What good will it do to them to kill us? Our identity is Fu Ke. If we can't keep the Feng family, Then they are not dead?"

There were a lot of clues, but they were very messy, like a messy ball of yarn, which made it hard to figure out for a while. Yang Xiao looked at Su Tingting and sighed, "It seems we have to wait until she wakes up. She must know something." Condition."

While watching the play, Yang Xiao realized that the possessed Su Tingting on the stage had self-awareness and could see many things that he could not see.

Yang Xiao had a good personality and could wait, but Kuang Hongyi couldn't wait. He stood up in the next second and said, "No need to wait, I'll wake her up."

As he walked over, he picked up the candlestick on the table with his backhand. A moment later, Su Tingting sat up suddenly with excitement. The scene was almost like a corpse.

"Ghost! There's a ghost!" Su Tingting screamed, "There's a ghost stabbing me!"

This scene also frightened Kuang Hongyi, and he quickly covered Su Tingting's mouth, "Keep your voice down! There are no ghosts, it's us who are back."

It wasn't until Yang Xiao came over that Su Tingting calmed down a little, with cold sweat all over his face. But the next second, Su Tingting seemed to suddenly remember something, grabbed Yang Xiao's hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Those ...Where are those ghost kids? Did they follow?"

Yang Xiao and Kuang Hongyi were stunned by this sentence. Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Ghost child?"

"Yes, it's just...those ghost children eating around the sacrifices. Oh my god, they're so scary..." Su Tingting turned pale when she thought about the scene.

Yang Xiao suddenly remembered, "You mean sacrifice table No. 4?" There were candies and preserves on the sacrifice table No. 4, which were all children's favorites. At that time, the incense burner No. 4 suddenly burned. It was particularly prosperous, so he became suspicious.

Su Tingting nodded repeatedly, her pupils filled with fear, "Yes, that's where it was. At that time, many children suddenly came to the audience, wearing colorful clothes, and lined up. Each one lowered his head, and the one behind him pulled the one in front of him. They walked over so stiffly."

"These children gathered around Sacrifice No. 4, with incense flowing straight into their nostrils. The candles... the colors of the nearby candles changed, and the flames turned a miserable green."

"These children lowered their heads. I couldn't see their faces clearly, but I could see them stretching their heads toward the offering plate, as if they were licking the candies."
