Nightmare Apostle

Nalan Shuo seemed to realize something, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the drowned ghost who was standing in front of him seemed to have found a new target, taking stiff steps, and walked step by step behind Nalan Shuo, the "click click" footsteps echoed in the silent courtyard.

A few seconds later, Nalan Shuo turned his head, and the scene he least wanted to see happened. The door of their room opened.

Yang Xiao stood behind the door with a fragrance in his mouth, the hazy moonlight sprinkled on his face, and there seemed to be light in his eyes.

For a moment, Nalan Shuo was a little desperate. Yang Xiao was completely sending himself to death. Although brave, it was not wise. The ghost went straight to him.

Nalan Shuo knew how much courage it took to face a ghost, and at this moment Yang Xiao was as steady as a rock.

One step, two steps... The ghost, shaking his bloated body, was getting closer and closer to Yang Xiao. When there were only 7 or 8 steps left, a scene that caught Nalan Shuo off guard happened. With a "bang", the door closed again.

Sure enough, what happened later was consistent with Nalan Shuo's guess. The previous movement had attracted the ghost's attention, so closing the door was completely useless. The ghost had already set its sights on Yang Xiao. The drowned ghost walked to the closed door, but after just a moment, he suddenly turned around and walked along the wall to the other side, and finally stopped in front of the door "painted" on the wall with incense.

He raised his blistered and white palm and slapped the wall again and again.

"Pah."

"Pah."

"Pah."

The sound of slapping the wall sounded like a death horn to Yang Xiao, who was hiding behind the door. He also knew that it was difficult for this door to stop the drowned ghost.

The most important thing now was to buy time.

Ten seconds, or even shorter, Yang Xiao vaguely realized that something was wrong. The slapping sound was getting louder and louder, and... and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.

He didn't know how to accurately describe this feeling, as if the wall was gradually getting thinner, and the ghost was entering the room little by little in some unknown way.

"How can this ghost come in without going through the door?" Yang Xiao was shocked.

"Pah."

"Pah."

"Pah."

The sound of the wall slapping became clearer and clearer, and Yang Xiao finally heard it clearly. The sound was not outside the door, but in this room!

Turning his head, he saw a horrifying scene in the dim light. At the place where the wall slapping sound was heard at first, the wall had been soaked with water at some point, and a vague bloated figure was left on the part of the wall soaked with water.

The wet figure stood stiffly, with his right hand raised, and the action looked like he was slapping the wall, exactly the same as the posture of the ghost outside!

"Pah."

"Pah."

As the slapping sound continued, water continued to seep in from the palm of the figure, continuing to perfect the wet figure on the wall. Yang Xiao, who saw this scene, instantly understood that when the figure was fully formed, the ghost outside would come in!

Under great pressure, Yang Xiao remained awake. He knew that he could not run. If he opened the door and ran, he would be caught up and killed by the ghost. This would not only fail to save Director Nalan, but also make him die in vain.

If there was really no way out in the end, he would die in this room even if he died, trying his best to delay time for the director outside. The situation deteriorated much faster than he thought. After just half a minute, the flame of the candle on the table shook for no reason. The next second,

it seemed to be suppressed by some invisible force, and the color of the flame changed from bright orange to gloomy green.

The room, which was originally poorly lit, became even darker at this moment, and the temperature was also dropping sharply. A mist filled the surroundings at some point.

Without twitching his nose, Yang Xiao could smell a foul smell. A picture subconsciously appeared in his mind. It was a corpse that had been soaked in cold water for an unknown period of time. The corpse was face down and had swollen beyond recognition.

"Hua La-yi"

"Hua La-yi"

The sudden sound of water startled Yang Xiao. He looked in another direction in the room, where the mist was thickest. He vaguely saw a well. On the bedside of the bedroom opposite, there was actually... a well!

There was a wooden perch crank on the well, and a well rope made of coarse hemp was erected below. At this moment, the well rope was creaking when it was pulled, accompanied by the sound of splashing water. Something was crawling out along the well rope!

At this moment, Yang Xiao had only one thought in his subconscious mind: run, run immediately, open the door, run anywhere, anyway, he couldn't stay here and wait to die. He knew very well that once the guy in the well came out, he would be dead.

After all, even Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen were helpless against this thing. If he met it face to face, he would have no chance and only death would be waiting. Turning around and staring at the door in front of him, he hesitated again. To be precise, he was sober. He didn't dare to open the door because he didn't know whether there would be a way to escape or... a ghost standing outside the door once he opened it.

This well, as well as the sound of water pulling the rope, might all be a trick. The real ghost might not have come in at all and was waiting for him outside the door.

Open the door or not, this is a difficult decision. The wrong choice means death.

Yang Xiao reached out his hand several times, but gave up. He made up his mind and decided to stay and gamble. Since he couldn't make up his mind, he would follow the worst plan. Even if the ghost really appeared in the room and killed him, it would be better than him dying outside, which would also cause trouble for Director Nalan.

The sound of the well rope became more and more harsh, the swing of the bass handle became more and more exaggerated, and the ghost down the well moved quickly, as if it couldn't wait.

Although he decided to stay, he couldn't wait to die. He prepared for the worst. Through previous observations, he guessed that the ghost's way of finding people might be related to the shadow. In this case, he simply lay on the ground and put the shadow's area is reduced to a minimum.

Yang Xiao lay upright in the corner behind the door, turned his head, and stared at the side of his mouth. He said he was not afraid of lying, but at this time he could only wait.

"Crack!"

As a soaked and white palm slapped on the edge of the well, Yang Xiao's hanging heart finally died. He lost the bet. He didn't expect that this well was real. It was not a deception. Ghost, it was real. climbed out of the well.

But it was too late to say anything now. The ghost moved quickly, shaking its bloated body, and walked towards the hall where Yang Xiao was.

At this time, Yang Xiao was finally able to take a close look at the drowned ghost. It was a woman, but her face was blurred and unrecognizable. The clothes she wore were exactly the same as the statue he saw in the "Temple of the Earth". The female ghost There was liquid dripping all over my body, not water.

Instead, it's a disgusting, foul-smelling slime.

With the incense in his mouth, Yang Xiao held his breath and tried to control his heartbeat, not daring to move. The incense in his mouth was a life-saving incense specially left for him by the director. It was a whole stick. If everything goes well, it should be enough for him to persevere. some time.

Now he can only delay, waiting for change,

The female ghost was walking aimlessly in the room. Yang Xiao was extremely lucky. Fortunately, he was lying in the corner behind the door, otherwise he would have stepped on it and would have stepped out.

Moreover, Yang Xiao discovered a problem. The female ghost's judgment of its own position was much less accurate than that of Director Nalan and the other two. It seemed to only know that she was in the room, but could not judge its approximate position at all. It must be related to her. Hidden shadow related.

Suddenly, the female ghost came straight behind the door. Because Yang Xiao did not dare to move, he could only glance around with his peripheral vision and could only see half of the female ghost's back.

“Boom!

This sudden muffled sound made Yang Xiao's heart suddenly twitch.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Yang Xiao quickly understood that this was a female ghost hitting the door with her body, and this door was very old, and the bolt behind the door had long been loose. If this continues...:

"Bang!"

Before Yang Xiao could continue thinking, a burst of cold moonlight poured in along the door, and the door was knocked open.

The sudden moonlight made Yang Xiao subconsciously close his eyes.

"Crack."

One of the female ghost's feet crossed the threshold.

"Crack."

The whole body left the house and came to the door.

"Crack."

"Crack."

"Crack."

Yang Xiao closed his eyes and listened to the footsteps gradually moving away. What made him slightly relieved was that the direction of the footsteps leaving was not towards the side where Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen were, but in another direction.

When the footsteps almost disappeared, Yang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, slowly opened his eyes, and turned to look out the door. But it was this glance that scared him so much that he almost had a myocardial infarction, his pupils trembled, and even his heartbeat After half a beat, a bloated ghost stood straight outside the door, Nie's huge head lowered, staring at him.

The next second, Yang Xiao watched helplessly as the small mountain-like figure jumped up towards him like a zombie.

"Boom!"

The female ghost's tense toes hit the threshold hard and did not jump in.

"Boom!"

Once again, it didn't work.

Because her knees could not bend, the female ghost was tripped by the threshold three times without success. Then, in the eyes of Yang Xiao who was on the verge of collapse, she turned around stiffly and disappeared from Yang Xiao's sight.

The candlelight was too faint, and it was difficult for him to leave a shadow, but the moonlight was fine. Yang Xiao was cold all over. He wanted to get up, but he couldn't do it. From his angle, he pulled his neck and looked out, and there was only one thing in the night sky. An outline of a hairy moon remains.

But how could such a "hairy moon" that could not protect itself shed such cold and clear moonlight? Yang Xiao instantly realized that there was a big problem with this moonlight.

No wonder the female ghost wants to open the door because she wants the moonlight to shine on her!

The wet footsteps stopped again. It was still in the same place. Outside the wall, between the two ghost door gods, this time I only patted the wall.

The sound of water and the sound of the rope being pulled came from the well in the room again, and the ghost came in again.

After much trouble, Yang Xiao also figured out that ghosts could not come in through the threshold, but they could go through the "door" with the ghost door god on it.

It's just that this time is different from last time. Last time, the ghost didn't confirm his location, which allowed him to escape. But this time, the ghost had already seen him from outside the door.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiao no longer hesitated, immediately moved his stiff and numb body, forced himself to leave, and changed his position to hide.

"Dead legs, crawl quickly!"

In desperation, Yang Xiao just seemed like an insect, stretching and contracting his body, and escaped from the place with difficulty. When the female ghost climbed out of the well mouth again, he had already crawled half of his body under the table.

The candle was dimly lit on the table, and he considered it dark under the lamp.

"Crack."

"Crack."

Dull footsteps sounded in the room, and Yang Xiao lay nervously under the table, not daring to move.

Sure enough, the ghost went straight to the place where he had been hiding behind the door, and stamped on the ground with his big feet that were almost as thick as his rotten legs, making Yang Xiao's scalp numb.

If she hadn't changed her position, her internal organs would have been stepped out and her head would have been crushed. After a lot of struggling, she seemed to have found that she couldn't find her position. The female ghost started wandering around the room again for more than ten seconds. After the bell, Yang Xiao was startled because footsteps stopped behind him.

"Discovered...

There was no point in deceiving oneself at this moment. From the moment the footsteps stopped, Yang Xiao confirmed that he had been exposed.

If he had a choice, Yang Xiao might open the table and run out, but he had no choice now. The cold atmosphere in the room had a great impact on him. His legs seemed to be frozen. Not to mention running, even turning is difficult.

The next second, Yang Xiao suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in the room. At the same time, he was shocked to find that the head of the incense in his mouth suddenly lit up, and then began to burn at a speed visible to the naked eye. The incense mist was drawn outward by some force. , and when it stopped, half of it was burned out.

The ghost inhaled the incense, and Yang Xiao trembled all over. This time he sucked up nearly half of the incense. You must know that his rotten incense was the whole incense, while Nalan Shuo's was only half of it. Yang Xiao didn't understand why the ghost was so partial to him. Is it because I am young and strong?

After inhaling the incense, the female ghost did not stay and left with stiff steps. When the footsteps stopped, no surprise, Yang Xiao could already predict what would happen next outside the wall. No matter where he was hiding, The ghosts would find him, and then he would suck up the remaining half-rotten incense in one gulp, and then kill him. He couldn't figure out why, but it didn't matter.

Until now, there has been no movement from Director Nalan Xiang Fengchen, which means that they have also encountered trouble. Yang Xiao guessed that it is probably a similar trouble to the situation he is facing now. Their shadows have been exposed for longer than him. It is very likely that the degree of Yin Qi erosion in his body is higher than his own, otherwise the director would not give up on him even if there is a slight chance.

Now Director, Xiang Fengchen, the old evil object, and even himself, are all hopeless. If you want to survive, you must rely on external help.

He also judged that the cause of tonight's incident should be in the hands of Zhang Songde. As the source, he should be dead. In other words, the situation at Ark Lou Huiyang is unclear. Going to them will cause trouble. The only one he can rely on now is Jiang Qingluan Chang Chuchu was the two of them. Jiang Qingluan was decisive in killing. As a young priest of the Yi religion, her skills were naturally not bad. Even Xiang Fengchen spoke highly of her.

However, it was very difficult for this guy to take the initiative to help him. After all, Jiang Qingluan didn't know what happened to them, and even suspected that they were ghosts in disguise.

She must be given a strong dose of medicine, not only to make her believe that she is real and that she really needs help, but also to tell her that if she refuses to help, everyone will die together.

"Crash-"

The sound of water came from the well again, and everything seemed to be happening again. In less than ten seconds, the ghost would crawl out of the well again, and this time, he would not have any chance.

There is no other way, we must take a gamble!

Holding fragrance in his mouth can confuse ghosts, and it is also a kind of restraint for himself. Yang Xiao went through the next things to do in his mind at an extremely fast speed. Although it is not perfect, it can only be like this. Success or failure depends on This move!

The sound of the well rope being pulled became more and more harsh, and Yang Xiao started to take action. He spit out the incense in his mouth, struggled to get up, grabbed the incense in one hand, staggered on his feet, and stumbled out, not forgetting to turn around at the critical moment. Close the door to buy yourself time. If you fall down in the middle, get up immediately and go straight to the middle room.

"Jiang Qingluan, come out and help!" Yang Xiao shouted, slamming into the door with two door gods posted on it. "If you don't come out, I will tear your door gods apart and we will all die together!"
