Nightmare Apostle

A supernatural event was taking place in the deserted village below, and he was certain that this supernatural event was not caused by humans, but existed from the beginning.

The gray mist rolled like a living thing, and the coldness revealed in it made people shudder. Yang Xiao had also experienced a similar feeling, in the nightmare world brought about by the ghost script, and it was the aura that belonged exclusively to ghosts.

As the fog in the deserted village became thicker, suddenly, a shrill scream broke the silence. Yang Xiao couldn't help but trembled, and then he lowered his body. The scream came from the other side of the village. The voice sounded like a man. .

The screams only lasted for less than 10 seconds and then stopped abruptly. Then the thick fog that shrouded the village slowly dissipated, leaving only a layer of misty mist. The light gray mist flowed like clouds in the village. The scene was Like a dream.

Someone died in the village just now, probably due to a ghost attack. And anyone who can appear here at this time, no need to guess, must be one of the contestants participating in this competition.

The game he was in was the 7th game of the qualifying round B. Theoretically, there were 8 players participating, but now at least one of the 8 has been eliminated.

Most of the fog in the village has dispersed, but Yang Xiao is still dormant quietly, with no plans to leave yet. He is looking for ghosts and at the same time looking for the locations of other players.

There are indeed a lot of tricks in this secret competition. If I guessed correctly, he will not only have to fight with other players, but also

Also beware of ghost attacks.

This place is very similar to the nightmare world. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is another miniature version of the nightmare world, but... With a thought in Yang Xiao's mind, the soul-capturing mirror instantly appeared in his left hand, and he tightened the human bone stick in his right hand. Feeling the surging spiritual power flowing in his body, Yang Xiao knew that the biggest difference between this place and the nightmare world was that they could use the power of the Eye of Resentment. He is no longer a lamb to be slaughtered without any means of resistance in the face of evil spirits.

From a certain perspective, this place is more like the birthplace of a supernatural event, and the first consideration for these players is how to survive this supernatural event.

"Um?"

Yang Xiao's eyes suddenly shrank, and through the thin mist, Yang Xiao seemed to see a figure flashing among the ruins of the deserted village.

He seems to be wearing a mask, so he must be a player.

Just when Yang Xiao was hesitating whether to go into the village to take a look or continue to hibernate, there was a noise in the trees not far from him.

Yang Xiao immediately moved his position to hide himself. After a while, a person emerged from the bushes. She looked like a woman and wore the same mask as Yang Xiao's face.

It was Dao No. 127. After looking around cautiously, the man quickly climbed over the slope and walked toward the village below.

Yang Xiao quickly took out the ancient bronze mirror from his body, removed one of the three mirrors, and inserted it into a hidden place under his feet, leaving a teleportation point. Then he put away the remaining bronze mirrors and chased after the woman, "Please wait a moment!

The sudden voice from behind made the woman almost jump up in fright. When the woman turned around, there was a strange weapon in her hand. The front and back ends were wrapped in cloth. Yang Xiao looked like a large clothes hanger.

"Who are you?" The woman's voice was obviously weak and she was not very confident. "What are you doing here?"

Yang Xiao pointed to the same mask on his face. Through the woman's two words, Yang Xiao confirmed at least two points. First, this was a young girl. Second, this girl's brain was not very easy to use. She asked two questions. It's all nonsense.

"Someone died in the village just now. I heard screams. There was a ghost inside. This was a supernatural incident." Yang Xiao said briefly, "I think we should work together to find out what is going on first, otherwise everyone may be dead." To die."

"Okay, but don't play tricks. I have the strength of the highest level of resentment." The girl pretended to be threatening in a vicious tone.

Through the detection of the human bone stick, Yang Xiao did not detect much malice from the girl. It seemed that the girl was bragging. He estimated that at most he was only a little above the level of the resentment level. A guy like this, Yang Xiao, could beat two fools with one charged stick. .

‘Is he a boss at the top of the resentment level? Yang Xiao flattered me and said, "That's great. I'll be safe with you." "

‘That’s not necessarily true. I heard that the secret competition in the Confucian Academy is extremely risky. If I can protect myself, I will help you as much as possible, but you have to obey the command. "The girl looked like she was new to the world and had no idea who was under the mask she was facing.

Yang Xiao smiled bitterly in his heart. If this girl wasn't acting with him, then she was really a fool. She dared to participate in the secret competition with such little ability. She really didn't know the depth. Fortunately, she met him, Yang Xiao. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would have been different if it were someone else. Not a single scrap of bones is left.

When the girl saw that Yang Xiao didn't express anything, she couldn't help but said in a more cautious tone, "Okay, just follow me. If you encounter danger, just run if I tell you to."

"Thank you sister!" Yang Xiao followed the girl.

Although the girl is naive, she is not stupid at all. She knows how to avoid the entrance of the village and find a remote place to sneak into the village.

The two walked cautiously on the dirt road in the village. The road was very narrow, with low courtyard walls on both sides. The village was quiet, with no one around.

It seemed like it had just rained here, the ground was slippery and muddy, and there was a stench of dampness and decay.

It's like something rotten in the water.

"Sister, let's find a room and go in and take a look." Yang Xiao, who was following the girl, suggested in a low voice. Walking on the deserted road made him increasingly uneasy.

The girl paused, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "That's what I meant."

After climbing over a broken low wall, the two entered a house. The wooden buildings in the yard were already dilapidated, and damp and rotting fishing nets were piled up in the corners. It could be seen that the fishing nets were originally hung on wooden racks to dry, but now The wooden frame also collapsed.

Walking towards the largest wooden house in the yard, "the doors and windows were all empty. After getting closer, Yang Xiao noticed that the two doors, one on the left and the other on the right, had fallen to the ground inwards. The doors were badly damaged, and there was a plug in the back. The broken door.

It doesn't look like it decayed naturally, but rather like it was knocked open by something. This situation,

The first thing Yang Xiao thought of was ghosts.

The house is not big and there are not many things. After Yang Xiao took a quick look around, he knew that the people living here were fishermen and that this place was a fishing village.

A painting hanging opposite the door attracted Yang Xiao's attention. The painting had been eroded and blurred, but you could still vaguely see the two people on it, a man and a woman. They should be a couple and the owners of this room, but The strange thing is that the man on the left has a stiff face, his eyes are dull, and his whole body is lifeless, while the woman on the right is smiling, but the smile on her face is getting faker, like a wax statue.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up, and a corner of the painting on the wall was blown up, making a loud splashing sound. The blown up part just blocked the face of the woman in the painting.

"Be careful, this painting... doesn't seem quite right." The girl standing behind Yang Xiao suddenly spoke, her voice a little wary.

‘Something’s wrong, everything in this room is almost rotten, the wooden windows are rotten, but this painting is still so well preserved. Yang Xiao stared at the woman in the painting and backed away slowly, "Let's get out of here first." "

The two of them carefully exited the room, and when they were planning to go back the same way and climb out through the low wall, Yang Xiao suddenly stopped.

The girl was also stunned, but before she could ask, Yang Xiao sneered, stared at the broken low wall and said, "Your Excellency, you have been waiting for us for so long, come out and meet us."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's eyes widened and she saw two figures emerging from behind the broken low wall, Dao No. 9 and Dao No. 189.

Yang Xia's eyes were fixed on Dao No. 9, this pot-bellied man. For a moment just now, the human bone stick in his hand suddenly detected a strong killing intent. It came from this person. If they returned the same way, they would definitely be killed. This person attacks.

The man named Dao No. 9 chuckled and raised his hands, which were empty. "You two, don't get me wrong. We also passed by this place by chance."

"Passing by here by chance, why don't you squat in the corner and ambush me?" Yang Xiao also imitated the man with the number 9 and smiled, his tone was joking, but this warning was also a real warning.

"Who wants to ambush you? Don't you know there's a ghost here?" Dao Zi No. 189 said with dissatisfaction. He was a tall and thin man. Judging from the skin that was accidentally exposed, he was already quite old. His voice was hoarse and he said: "Here is The situation is very wrong. Let’s put aside the competition. The scream before was also one of us. It’s on the other side of the village. We plan to go and have a look. "

The man's tone was very bad, and he sounded commanding, but Yang Xiao didn't care. He needed his teammates to cooperate. After all, he also needed a scapegoat at the critical moment.

"Sister Master, let's go together." Yang Xiao turned around and suggested.

As soon as the word "master" came out, the other two people turned their attention to the girl No. 127, and the girl also cooperated with her chest and said in a deep voice: "Okay."

The temporary team was formed. A group of 4 people, led by the old man No. 189, came to a yard in the northwest corner of the village. Before they could get closer, they saw a person walking out of the corner not far away. The two groups collided. Right on.

It's Dao number 24, and she's also a woman.

Naturally, Dao Zi No. 24 also joined the team, and the five of them entered the courtyard together. Everyone was a little nervous. After all, they smelled the smell of blood early, and the crime scene was definitely here.

The courtyard here is larger than those that Yang Xiao and others passed by. In addition to rotten fishing nets, there is also a small wooden boat parked in the courtyard, and a large number of shells are piled in the corner.

The old man at Dao Zi No. 189 walked over, reached out and picked up a shell, and gently exerted force with his fingertips. The shell shattered like a crisp biscuit. It was very weathered. The old man rubbed his fingers and identified it: "It's a pearl oyster, also called pearl oyster." Pearl oysters, besides fishing, the fishermen here also hunt for pearls.”

Everyone walked around to the door of the house, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger. The house was directly opposite the hall, with a room on the left and right, and a corpse was lying in the room on the right.

It's not suitable to lie on it. To be precise, it's a pile of corpses, or corpse parts, because the corpse has no human shape at all, but is divided into pieces of flesh that are only slightly larger than a fist. The bones are also broken. The scene Horrible.

Holding back their nausea, everyone found a broken mask from the corpse, with the number 40 clearly written on it.

"What was he killed by?" No. 24 picked up a piece of minced meat with his fingers. The size of the meat was not completely equal, and the edges were rough. It didn't look like it had been chopped with a sharp weapon or chopped into pieces, more like torn open by hand.

The thought of a ghost squatting on the ground and tearing a living person into pieces bit by bit makes people despair just thinking about it.

This time it was in another small room, and everyone found another painting hanging on the wall. There were traces of a sacrifice being arranged in front of the painting, but this sacrifice had been a long time ago.

In this painting, Yang Xiao unexpectedly discovered that the male protagonist had changed, but the woman was still the same woman in the painting last time. Several other companions also reacted strongly. It seems that they had also entered each room to check, and they all remembered the woman in the painting. Still new.

In addition, there is something wrong with the man in the painting this time. The man's expression is also cold and dull, like a corpse, but his dress clearly does not belong to this era. He is wearing light casual clothes, has a strong physique, and has two pairs of shoes under his feet. Black sneakers.

The moment they saw the sneakers, everyone's hearts trembled because they had just seen the same shoes next door.

The man in the painting is the corpse next door, but the painting is also yellowed and old, obviously not completed in the past few decades.

At this moment, there is no room for anyone to think too much. There must be something wrong with this painting. All the people painted on it are dead, and the only unchanging woman is most likely a ghost!

“Wow——

“Crash-

——

Suddenly there was a sound of waves outside the door. The sound of waves covered the waves one after another, getting closer and closer. At the same time, it also brought the salty and wet smell of the sea breeze.

Waiting for everyone to rush out, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. They saw that the courtyard gate was mostly submerged by sea water, and the waves were pouring in. The contrast between the milky white waves and the dark sea water was sharp. Looking around, the village was filled with gray fog again.

The fog came together with the sea water, and soon, most of the village was engulfed in the fog. This reminded Yang Xiao of the scene he saw when he first came to this world. Not long after the fog enveloped the village, screams were heard.

Waves hit one after another, and the sea water spread to everyone's feet. Only then did Yang Xiao realize that the moisture on the ground before was not rain, but the erosion of sea water.

Soon, the thick fog seemed to be wrapped by some kind of force and began to shake inexplicably. Now the visibility was greatly reduced, and Yang Xiao heard another wave of waves that did not sound like ocean waves.

"Wow-

—

"Wow-

The sound was smooth and steady, and it gradually came closer with a depressing aura. After a few seconds, Yang Xiao finally realized that it was the sound of human water.

Something was touching the water behind the mist, walking towards them step by step.

It's not that they don't want to run, but the area is surrounded by mist and sea water. The small courtyard where they are temporarily staying is the only high ground, and they are completely unable to determine the location of the ghost. The sound of water seems to come from all directions.

"There!"

I don't know who shouted, and everyone saw a figure vaguely revealed behind the fog on the left. The figure was unusually bloated. Every time the figure swayed and took a step, there was a sound of water.

Woman No. 24 took out a pair of rusty old-fashioned hands from her arms and said loudly: "Stop hiding your secrets.

Wait for the ghost to appear and take action together! "

When the ghost was about to walk out of the fog, Yang Xiao held out a ghost lantern, and the green light dispersed the fog around the ghost. Only then did everyone see clearly that the ghost's body was rotten and swollen, its head was swollen, and its eyes were squeezed out of its sockets. With his tongue pulled out, he looked like a tragic giant. A dirty cloth bag was tied to each arm on his left and right arms. He had almost no clothes on his body, only a fishing net covered with blood.

"It's a haenyeo!" Old Man No. 189 exclaimed in surprise.

"Do it!" No. 24 roared, taking the lead to take action. As the hand was thrown, this thing was like a living thing. It turned around and accurately put it on the rotten ghost's left and right ankles. The original size of the hand was It couldn't be put on, but something happened to the hand the moment it was tied on, and it actually fit tightly.

Restricted by his hands, the rotten ghost's steps obviously slowed down and became shorter, but it still moved forward stubbornly, walking towards the crowd step by step, its two fat rotten legs pulling the iron chain between its hands. Crunchy.

With the injection of Yang Xiao's spiritual power, the ghost lantern's dim light shone on the ghost's rotting and peeling skin, making a faint sizzling sound, as if two forces were pulling and fighting.

Man No. 9, who had previously planned to sneak attack Yang Xiao, also took action. His magical weapon was a smiling roly-poly.

The whole body was carved from ancient jade. Through the jade skin, you could see the traces of blood inside. The man pointed the smiling face of the roly-poly at the rotten ghost. As the roly-poly shook gently in his hand, a shocking scene appeared. The body of the rotten ghost that came out of the water actually began to sway uncontrollably, left and right, and the frequency became faster and faster.

"No, it's not enough!" Man No. 9 shouted. At this moment, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Obviously, maintaining the tumbler on his palm was not as easy as it seemed. The cost of interfering with this ghost was a massive loss of mental power.

The girl No. 127 gritted her teeth and was about to hand over her magic weapon again, but was pressed down by Yang Xiao's free right hand. The girl had planned to make a move before, but was stopped by Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao quickly pulled it out and inserted it into her waist. The human bone stick slowly accumulated strength, and when he saw that the rotten ghost's body was about to swing to the right and was about to swing to the maximum extent, he suddenly took action and hit the ghost's left ankle as it was lifted out of the water with the stick.

This time, the timing was perfect. The rotten ghost was unable to stand steadily and fell into the water in an extremely inelegant posture.

"It's done!"

No. 24's face lit up. Before she could make her next move, she heard a series of running sounds behind her. When she turned around, old man No. 189, who had never made a move, had already run more than ten meters away.

After the ghost was overthrown by the combined efforts of everyone, the strange power around him was also affected. At this moment, in addition to the dark seawater still spreading in front of him, the seawater behind him had retreated and disappeared without a trace, leaving only mud on the ground.

Without being reminded by others, the few people who found a way out turned around and ran. "Don't run together, separate, run separately!!" Woman No. 24 shouted as she ran and dived into a narrow alley.
