Nightmare Attack

Chapter 1436
Jiang Cheng didn't know how to describe his feeling at this moment. He seemed to have walked into a dark tunnel. The tunnel was very long and endless, and it was like being thrown into the boundless deep sea. Lonely, Jiang Cheng uncontrollably opened his legs, accelerated his speed, wanted to escape from here, to escape from this depressive feeling of madness, he even wanted to get rid of his shadow, to be a real person, as a complete person live.

But the sound of old footsteps still echoed behind him, and the muffled sound of the soles of the soles stepping on the bluestone road was like the whimper of an old man before his death, closely following him.

In a trance, Jiang Cheng had a feeling that once he was overtaken by the sound of footsteps, he would never be able to escape, would be caught again, tied up in a low and cramped room, and lived sadly like an exhibit.

"tread--"

"tread--"

……

The footsteps behind him became faster and faster, and Jiang Cheng finally realized where the problem was. The lonely footsteps were not left by him at all, but by another person!

No, how could there be another person in such a world, it should be something else, maybe... maybe it's the same thing as myself!

Jiang Cheng ran desperately, but there was only an increasingly dense darkness in front of him, that darkness was like stirred asphalt, as long as he was involved, don't even think about getting out.

But even so, he still chooses to keep running forward, and he doesn't know why, it seems that there is something in the dark, and that thing is more attractive to him than to live.

It seemed that there was another world in the darkness, and what that world brought him was a kind of cold kindness.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch that world before feeling the strange kindness on his face. This is completely from the original consciousness, but the footsteps behind him are getting closer and closer, almost sticking to his back .

Just before Jiang Cheng was about to rush into the darkness, a powerful arm reached out from behind him, grabbed his shoulder, and then pulled back hard.

Jiang Cheng struggled with all his strength, but the other party seemed to be physically stronger than him. For a while, the two were at a stalemate, but a powerful attraction emerged from the darkness that was close in front of them, helping Jiang Cheng to escape the pursuit of the people behind him.

"doctor!"

"Doctor, wake up!"

……

The familiar voice beat against Jiang Cheng's remaining consciousness like a wave. After an unknown period of time, the world in front of him cracked like a mirror, and then suddenly shattered.

When Jiangcheng came back to his senses, he was still in that bustling street market, surrounded by businesses of all sizes. Although strange incidents occurred in the city from time to time, life would still go on.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng had regained his senses, the fat man finally put his heart back into his stomach, "Doctor, what happened to you just now? No matter what I told you, you didn't respond, so you just kept walking forward. I thought you had found some clues, but I didn’t notice anything wrong with you until just now, your eyes are empty.”

Jiang Cheng took a few deep breaths to suppress his mood. There are many weird things, but ghosts are rare in broad daylight. He needs to figure out the reason, "When did you find out that something is wrong with me?"

"Just...just now." Fatty recalled, "It wasn't long after you came out of the antique shop, you stopped talking as you walked, and then you kept your head in suspense, walking faster and faster, and I almost couldn't catch up with you. "

"Then how did you wake me up?" Jiang Cheng wanted to confirm this.

Unexpectedly, the fat man blinked suspiciously, "It's strange to say that you didn't respond no matter what I called you, and you didn't stop when I tried to pull your arm. In the end, I patted your shoulder hard, and then pulled back. You'll wake up soon."

It seemed to be basically the same as the scene he saw in the illusion, Jiang Cheng nodded, and said to the fat man: "Well done fat man, I must have been bewitched just now, if this happens again next time, you Stop me by patting me on the shoulder."

Looking back now, the illusion just now was terrifying. If I really stepped into the black vortex in front of me, I don't know what strange things will happen.

But the top priority now is not this, but to figure out what exactly he went through just now, and why he was possessed by evil spirits, since they were just walking on the street without doing anything.

Jiangcheng gradually slowed down and began to observe the situation along the street. This street is the main street in the city, and it is relatively prosperous. The vendors are very enthusiastic, and the taverns facing the street are still lively. There are also cloth shops, grain stores, and other miscellaneous things. It is not easy to have such a prosperous scene in the border area.

But Jiang Cheng didn't care about this, he walked more and more slowly, and a hint of ominous premonition gradually surfaced in his heart, "Fatty, how long have we been walking on this street?"

The fat man shook his head and thought for a while and replied: "It's been a long time, it's been half an hour."

Now the uneasiness in Jiangcheng's heart finally became reality, half an hour... There was still a period of time during which the fat man chased himself, so the street is a bit too long, after all, this is a border city, and it is a garrison The city is not the kind of city that focuses on commerce. Is it necessary to build such a long commercial street?
Besides, even if it is completed, how can there be so many people wandering in the street?
So this street is fake, and these people... are all fake too!

Jiang Cheng originally planned to spend some time here to see what this ghost was up to, but what happened just now reminded him that the other party is definitely not an idle person, and if something goes wrong, let alone him, even Fatty Whether he can go out is a problem, although for the time being, the other party's goal is only himself.

After figuring this out, Jiang Cheng stopped at a fork in the road, "Go this way."

Fatty was also vigilant at this moment, looking at the road pointed by Jiang Cheng, he couldn't help asking: "This is a fork in the road, and it looks narrow inside, if something really happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to use it."

"listen to me."

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he took the lead to walk into a remote fork in the road, and the moment the two disappeared at the corner, everyone on the street stopped their movements. Pedestrians on the street, vendors bargaining, beggars begging at the entrance of the alley... all the sounds disappeared for a while, and the whole street was as quiet as dead.

A few seconds later, as if a switch had been flipped, everyone turned their heads at the same time, staring stiffly at the alley where the fat man in Jiangcheng disappeared.

Dozens of hundreds of gazes all looked in the same direction, and the scene was indescribably silent and eerie.
