Nightmare Apostle

Tianzi No. 84 browsed the notice, then slowly turned around and explained: "The two of us also just decided to form a team. Later, we met a crazy woman who asked everyone if she saw her child. Her child I lost it, but after asking someone to inquire, I found out that someone was missing in this amusement park. I thought there was information about the missing person on the notice board, so I found it. "

"Are you a family member of the missing person..." Yang Xiao asked, "Where is this person?"

"It's useless. This person is completely crazy. She can't find out anything. She doesn't even remember her child's name." Tianzi No. 84 sighed.

"Hey Yiyi"

Suddenly, there was a harsh noise above the head, like a loudspeaker that had not been used for a long time. "Good evening, dear tourists, this is the broadcast station of Kongling Mountain Amusement Park. To ensure the playing experience of every tourist, please pay attention in real time." The nearby tourist statistics electronic board is equipped in each play area. I wish everyone to spend an unforgettable night here...

"Visitor statistics electronic board?" Prisoner No. 199 repeated in a low voice.

Yang Xiao took out the crumpled tourist attraction map and looked at it. The map was very detailed. Based on several nearby amusement facilities, he quickly determined that his current location was in Area B of the amusement park.

Five minutes later, under the leadership of Yang Xiao, the three of them came to a lively small square. There was a huge display screen in the middle of the square, and three lines of words lit up from top to bottom:

"Real-time number of visitors in the park: 4417"

"Real-time number of employees on duty: 991""

"Current total number of people in the park: 5419"

"This number is not right." Looking up at the big screen, Tianzi No. 84 said in confusion, "4417 plus 991 is 5408, and the total number of people in the park is 5419. Why is there a difference of 11 people in the middle?"

"The last line refers to the total number of people in the garden, not the total number of people in the garden." Yang Xiao said coldly: "The difference is not necessarily the people."

"Then... who are we?" Tianzi No. 84 asked, "Tourists? Or... existences that cannot be counted?"

After thinking for a few seconds, Yang Xiao said: "Generally speaking, tourists are only those who buy tickets and come in. I think we should belong to the category that cannot be counted."

There are 11 people who cannot be classified by the park, and Yang Xiao and others have come in this time, with a total of 10 people. In other words, besides them, there is another person who cannot be classified.

You can be sure, this is a ghost.

The next second, just as the three of them were thinking silently, the loudspeaker of the amusement park rang again, with a harsh voice: "Dear tourists, please note that an emergency message is being broadcast. An unidentified fare evader is missing in Area C. Now... We are collecting clues from all tourists. This person is wearing a mask with a pattern of Tianzi No. 41 painted on it. I repeat, the missing person is wearing a mask with a pattern of Tianzi No. 41 painted on the mask. We hope that anyone with information will contact our park in time. Personnel contact....

,

As soon as the voice broadcast ended, the numbers on the electronic screen changed. The current number of people in the park was 5419.

down to 5418.

Looking at the unchanged number of tourists and employees, Yang Xiao understood clearly, "It seems that I guessed right. Apart from the ghost, there are only nine of us left unidentified."

The ghost has already started killing people.

According to the broadcast, Tianzi No. 41 disappeared in Area C. Yang Xiao took out the park guide map and planned the route.

Find a road with lots of people and go towards Area C.

Area B and Area C are right next to each other. After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at Area C. The iconic amusement facility in Area C is the big pendulum. Far away, Yang Xiao and the others saw a tall pendulum. Swinging from side to side, even 90 degrees vertically at the most exaggerated point, the screams of tourists can be heard endlessly.

The three of them walked around Area C, trying to find some clues. Yang Xiao repeated his old trick and asked the staff of the amusement park, but the other party didn't know anything about it. When the question was asked urgently, the other party said that they would call security. After all, Yang Xiao was Those who came in by evading fares lacked confidence and were worried about being discovered and climbed out, so they had no choice but to give up.

However, Yang Xiao also discovered something strange during the dispute. The other party apparently also heard the broadcast. The broadcast said that the only sign of the missing person was the mask on his face, and the three of them also wore masks on their faces. This was a very obvious feature. , but the staff here didn’t ask, as if they didn’t see it or were completely uninterested.

While Yang Xiao was thinking, Prisoner No. 199, who was walking on the far right, suddenly stopped. Yang Xiao and the other two followed his gaze and saw two people staring at them across the street.

The two men also wore masks on their faces, with the word Dao 131 and the word dragon 29.

Judging from the body shape, they are a man and a woman. The man with the word Dao is thin and tall, like a telephone pole. The woman with the word dragon seems to be very defensive. Her right hand is hidden behind her back, obviously holding a weapon. Yang Xiao slowly inserts her hand. The human bone stick was hidden in the clothes.

The two sides looked at each other across the crowd, and were ready for a fight. But in the end, the tall and thin man opposite made the first move, reaching out and slowly pulling out the woman's right hand hidden behind her back.

The woman was holding a small round object in her hand. Because it was far away, Yang Xiao couldn't see what it was.

After the two of them looked at Yang Xiao and the others, they turned around and left in the other direction.

From the time the two parties found each other until they left, they didn't even say hello.

When the three of them disappeared completely, the man named Prisoner No. 199 cursed in a low voice and complained: "I shouldn't have let them go, I should have killed them just now!"

"Then why don't you take action?" Yang Xiao glanced at him and asked angrily.

"Okay, please stop saying a few words." Tianzi No. 84 once again acted as a fire extinguisher and persuaded each other, "You two,

Give me some face, it's better to do less than to do more. It's not the time to kill each other yet, and I don't think Taoist No. 131 is an easy person to deal with. "

Prisoner No. 199's eyes were filled with blood red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Of course it is difficult to deal with him. He is a disciple of the Dry Bones Palace, and only they can make their bodies look like that. I am not sure I can beat him one on one. Letting him go just now is like letting the tiger return to the mountain."

"His-"

"Tianzi No. 84 also looked in the direction where the two left, and his tone also changed, "The disciples of Dry Bones Zhai... Damn it, why are these people who are neither humans nor ghosts here to join in the fun? "

"Is this Dry Bones Palace very strong?" Yang Xiao asked curiously.

"Young boy, you haven't even heard of Dry Bones Village and you dare to come out and enter the world?" After being suppressed by Yang Xiao, Prisoner No. 199 finally found a chance to take revenge. He immediately made a sarcastic comment. When Yang Xiao asked this question, he was even more shocked. I firmly believe that this is a fool.

In the end, Tianzi No. 84 came to the rescue and explained Yang Xiao's doubts: "The Kuguzhai is not as famous as those big gangs in the world. It's not because of any lack of strength, it's just that there are too few of them. But I heard that everyone in it is a good player, and their methods are different. Evil, most people really don’t dare to provoke them.”

"Crack."

A drop of water fell on the top of Yang Xiao's head, and when he touched it with his hand, it felt ice cold.

Tianzi No. 84 seemed to have sensed something. He raised his head and looked at the dark sky, "It's raining...:

The night rain came hard and fast. After more than ten seconds, the raindrops began to fall. Yang Xiao raised his backpack to cover his head, planning to find a place to hide from the rain first.

But soon, the three of them realized something was wrong. Except for the three of them, no one else nearby seemed to have any intention of hiding from the rain. Everyone was laughing, having fun, and still immersed in the joy of playing. What’s even weirder is that these The tourists’ clothes were not wet at all!

The rain did not hit the tourists’ heads, only the three of them were affected!

The three of them were all experienced people, and they immediately realized that something had happened. A ghost must have appeared, and the ghost was nearby!

The three of them formed a triangle back to back. There were too many tourists walking around, including men, women, old and young. The three of them scanned the unfamiliar faces one after another, carefully searching and identifying them, despite the heavy rain above their heads.

"There!"

Yang Xiao squinted his eyes and stared straight ahead. Not far away, about 20 meters away, there was a clown standing behind the crowded crowd.

The clown was wearing a red and yellow clown suit, a red Santa hat, and extremely exaggerated oil makeup on his face. He was tilting his head and staring at Yang Xiao and the others.

A large string of colorful balloons floated above the clown's head. There was a thin thread attached to the balloons, and the other end of the thread was tightly wrapped around the clown's neck, which was bloody and bloody.

Suddenly, the clown moved and took a step forward. Yang Xiao couldn't help but widen his eyes. He saw the clown's body strangely passing through the crowd without any hindrance.

At this moment, the other two people also noticed the clown, and there was no need for any discussion. The three turned around and ran away, but they could not avoid the tourists like the clown. The turbulent flow of people became a roadblock on the way to escape, and almost dispersed the three of them several times. .

"Don't... don't run around, don't scatter!" No. 84, who was left behind because of his size, couldn't help shouting at this moment.

Yang Xiao overturned an empty stroller and knocked down a middle-aged male tourist. However, the tourists around him turned a blind eye and continued to play. The knocked down man got up with a smile, as if nothing happened, and continued Smile and talk to the woman next to you.

In the panic, Yang Xiao had no time to turn around to confirm the clown's location, but judging from the string of balloons floating in the air, he could see that the clown was approaching them at an extremely fast speed.

Yang Xiao was the first to stop, "Don't run away, we're trapped!'

He had been running for so long without even getting out of this road, and they were trapped, trapped in this heavy rain.

At this moment, the clown was only 7 or 8 meters away from them. He still had that exaggerated smile, and stared straight at them with a pair of wide, empty eyes, which were a turbid gray. He raised his feet in yellow pointed boots. put,

He walked toward them with a stiff posture.

If he couldn't run away, he had to fight hard. "Let's do it together!" Yang Xiao was the first to take action, taking out the human bone stick and hitting the clown.

Man No. 84 followed closely, took out a red cloth bag from his arms, quickly opened it, revealing a palm-sized clay doll.

The clay doll had no face, no skin, and no clothes. Its body was covered with intersecting lines, just like the acupuncture points map of traditional Chinese medicine. The man was determined, raised his finger, and flicked the clay doll's head. .

After being hit by Yang Xiao, the clown's steps jumped up a bit. Before he could stand still, he saw the head wearing the red Santa hat suddenly tilted to the right, and his body swayed to the right uncontrollably. It felt like a hard punch.

Yang Xiao saw the opportunity and swung out another stick, hitting the clown's left foot. He was unsteady and the clown fell in the rain in a very funny posture.

The moment the clown was knocked down, the rain curtain covering the heads of the three people also dissipated. Yang Xiao turned around and ran away.

After running across the street, I dared to look back and found that the clown had stood up again at some point and was now facing away from them.

Leaving with stiff steps.

In a few breaths, the figure quickly submerged in the crowd, disappeared and slowly exhaled. The clown was not as strong as he thought. He and No. 84 worked together to bring down the ghost, and he didn't use all his strength. , if you encounter this ghost alone, you can escape.

Of course, it's just now. After the ghost kills a few more people and steals their magic weapons, it will be hard to say.

After the danger passed, Yang Xiao turned to look at the man named Prisoner No. 199 and asked, "Why didn't you take action?"

"You don't have to take action to be considered a help. You stupid boy knows nothing. I'm on guard against unknown dangers." Man No. 199 said in a low voice.

No. 84 did not try to persuade the two of them this time. It was obvious that he was also dissatisfied with what the man named Prisoner No. 199 had done, but due to the unity within the team, he did not say anything more.

"No. 31, thank you very much." Man No. 84 expressed his gratitude to Yang Xiao for lending a helping hand. After all, he was the last one who was chased by a ghost just now. Once he is caught up, he will be the first to be attacked by the ghost. He said that Yang Xiao saved him. Nor is he exaggerated.

"You're welcome. We are all teammates. If you don't lend a helping hand when your teammates are in trouble, you will know what a bastard you are." Yang Xiao sneered.

Perhaps because he knew he was wrong, the man with prison number 199 just snorted and stopped looking at Yang Xiao, but did not start another argument.

I raised my eyes and looked around. Tourists were still playing. Men, women, the elderly, and children all had happy smiles on their faces. After looking at it for a long time, I just felt fake and disgusting. It seemed that everything was rehearsed. The smile looked fake. Painted on it.

There is something wrong with these tourists. They are not human, at least not the kind of flesh-and-blood people in Yang Xiao's consciousness.

"What should we do now?" After Yang Xiao extended a helping hand to him, No. 84's attitude towards Yang Xiao changed very obviously.

Yang Xiao looked towards the direction where the clown left, "Let's follow and see, this kind of attack can't be just once.

If you don't understand it, you will be hunted down. "

"good."

The two of them walked in the direction where the clown disappeared, and even if the marginalized man 199 was unwilling,

He had to go alone, otherwise he would be alone, and in such a ghost place, the end of being alone was generally not good.

After passing through the crowd, the three of them came to a fork in the road. According to the signs on the side of the road, the left road led to Area A, and the right road led to Area D.

I looked around and saw no uniformed staff, but there was an old man squatting on the roadside. The old man was guarding a small cart. There was a photo hanging on the cart. The photo was of tourists playing in the amusement park. left behind.

The other side of the cart was covered with a thick white quilt. Yang Xiao knew that there should be a small refrigerator or an insulated foam box underneath. The box was filled with ice cream and cold drinks. The old man was a vendor and also worked part-time for tourists. Take photos.

Man No. 84 walked over and asked politely: "Old man, is there a circus or similar place nearby?"

The old man seemed to be a bit deaf. When he saw business coming to his door, he stood up immediately. With his cloudy and bloodshot eyes open, he asked tremblingly: "Do you want to take a photo? I also have mineral water ice cream here. It's very cheap..."

They came in by evading fares. How could they have the money to buy these? When man No. 84 returned, Yang Xiao suddenly remembered that he had a park guide map in his hand. He took it out to check it out and searched carefully. He actually found a project called Crazy Circus. In Area F, which is far away, what is strange is that the picture of this crazy circus on the navigation map is actually gray.

Before he could think about it, he suddenly noticed a group of uniformed staff walking towards this direction, including several security personnel in gray uniforms. Yang Xiao and the other three felt guilty that they had no ticket, so they immediately lowered their heads and walked away quickly.

After walking 30 meters, the three of them looked back and saw that the old man pushing the cart was surrounded by more than a dozen staff members.

Yang Xiao saw that the old man was not wearing a uniform and had no employee ID. He guessed that the old man was a villager from the nearby countryside. He sneaked into the amusement park to do some small business while the management was relaxed at night. He was caught and the consequences might be serious. wonderful.

But what Yang Xiao didn't expect was that these staff members opened the thick quilt wrapped in the foam box and took out the ice cream and soda drinks. Then the three leaders counted the things in their hands and took out their wallets from their pockets. He stuffed the money into the iron box where the old man collected money, and then helped the old man pick up several plastic bags from the ground.

After stacking it, use a broken brick from the cart to press it on top, and finally leave.

"Is this a related household?" This scene also confused Man No. 84. According to the normal plot development, it shouldn't be like this.

Yang Xiao doesn't care about these, he only cares about the clowns and the crazy circus that is inexplicably painted gray in the park's guide map.

There is most likely a connection between the two. For example, there was a serious accident at the Crazy Circus, resulting in the tragic death of the clown.

After putting the guide map away, Yang Xiao plans to go to Zootopia in Area F. This is very important and dangerous. It is most likely the place where the clown died. If you are not careful, someone will die. It is critical to do this. Before the incident, Yang Xiao planned to deal with the unstable factors around him first.

Looking around, he quickly selected a location. There were several tents about 30 meters away to his left. There were several cartoon character statues standing in front of the tents. It could be seen that they wanted to make a playground. It’s a place where Internet celebrities check in, but because the workmanship of the statue is very rough and the scenery is very sloppy, there are almost no people there.

Seeing Yang Xiao lift his legs and walk towards there, No. 84 followed him subconsciously, "Did you find anything?"

"Those statues may be related to clowns." Yang Xiao replied.

The three came to the statues that could almost be considered ugly. Prisoner No. 199 stared at the cartoon rabbit that looked like a camel in front of him and couldn't help frowning: "What clues can be found here?"

"Go and have a look at the tent." Yang Xiao walked towards the big tent in the middle. There was no one in the tent, and there was not even a carpet on the floor. There were only a few statues that were even worse than those outside. In the middle was a cartoon throne, like the ones in cartoons. When he wiped it with his hand, the paint on it was seriously peeling off.

"Strange..." Yang Xiao couldn't help but whisper as he looked at the tent.

Prisoner No. 199 also followed into the tent. Seeing Yang Xiao staring at the throne, he also came over and imitated Yang Xiao to rub the throne. Sure enough, some colorful paint was also stuck on the palm of his hand, "What's strange?"

Yang Xiao did not answer, but lowered his head and leaned over to sniff the throne gently. Then, as if he had discovered something, he made a "hmm?" sound.

Prisoner No. 199 was skeptical, and also leaned over and leaned over to smell like Yang Xiao, but he didn't smell anything except some unpleasant paint.

"Bang!"

When he realized that something was wrong, it was too late. Before he could get up, he was hit hard on the back of his head.

It was like being robbed by a stick. The next second, his pupils collapsed, and the whole person collapsed face down on the throne, with his limbs twitching constantly.

Yang Xiao moved his arm. He used too much force in the previous blow, and his arm was a little twitchy. Although this prisoner No. 199 looked bad, he was quite strong. Yang Xiao used 70% of his strength in this stick, but he still didn't beat him into a fool.

This scene scared No. 84 who was following behind. He retreated repeatedly, distanced himself from Yang Xiao, and said in horror: "You...what are you doing?"

"This kid is a disaster if he stays, and he will kill us sooner or later." Yang Xiao said without turning his head.

"I know he is not a good person, but you won't kill him directly. If you don't get along, you can just break up. I'm planning to drive him away...

No. 84 is a good person, not a cruel person. It was because of this that Yang Xiao didn't kill him too. "Do you know what he was doing when we were fighting that ghost just now?" Yang Xiao turned his head and asked.

"He ran away by himself and didn't help." No. 84 replied.

"Bullshit! "Yang Xiao cursed: "It's ok that this bastard is hiding at the back and not doing anything, he also has murderous intentions. Once we can't stop the ghost, he will attack the two of us and leave us to the ghost in exchange for his life."

"This...:..." No. 84 was stunned when he heard this. He didn't have a magical weapon like the human bone stick that could sense evil thoughts, so naturally he couldn't understand what Yang Xiao said.

Seeing that No. 199, the prisoner, stretched out his hand and wanted to get up from the chair, Yang Xiao put away the human bone stick, took out the kitchen knife, and killed No. 199 with a few cuts, then stripped off the other's shirt, wrapped the bloody head and upper body, and dragged the body behind several large decorative boxes on the side of the tent.

"Don't stand there stupidly, come and help! "Yang Xiao lifted his body and urged.

At this point, No. 84 was also a person who could distinguish the importance of things. He no longer hesitated and helped Yang Xiao hide the body in the empty box at the bottom, and wiped the blood on the throne and the ground with clothes.

Fortunately, the main color of the throne is red. It was originally gray, and now it was stained with blood, as if it had been repainted, and it looked much better than before.

"What's your name, brother?" No. 84 asked after walking out of the tent.

"My surname is Yang."

"Brother Yang, I see that you are definitely not an ordinary person. Can you tell me where your master came from?" The two of them were like grasshoppers on a rope. Besides, if they left here, their memories would be erased. No. 84 felt that the other party had no reason to hide it.

"No sect, no school, just a lonely boat in the world." There are too many good things on him. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yang Xiao should keep a low profile. "What about you?"

"My name is Lu Chenzhou, a disciple of Qingshan Yanyu Tower. "Lu Chenzhou clasped his fists to Yang Xiao and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yang, I, Lu Chenzhou, will never forget your kindness in saving me last time."

"Brother Lu, you are too polite. With your ability, you are not an ordinary disciple in the building. You should have a position at least." Yang Xiao said with a smile.

"I dare not. It was just the title of the lower room manager promoted by my master. It is just an empty title. I am not famous in the world. I can't compare with Brother Yang's real kung fu." Lu Chenzhou's attitude was very polite. "In my opinion, Brother Yang is at least at the level of the middle level, otherwise the stick just now would not have beaten him like that."

"He can't stand being beaten. If he is not good, he should practice more. It's fatal if he is not good and bad. People should learn from you, Brother Lu, and be kind-hearted. Don't have so many crooked minds." Yang Xiao chatted with Lu Chenzhou while walking, without wasting any time.

"Yes, yes, Brother Yang is right! "

After a while, the two gradually became familiar with each other. It can be seen that Lu Chenzhou is very interested in Yang Xiao's background, but since the other party did not say it, he did not ask. In the martial arts world, one must not only rely on one's own means, but also the ability to observe words and expressions.

Lu Chenzhou decided to cling to Yang Xiao's thighs this time. This man has high means. Although he has a deep mind, he is not evil. He is a person who can cooperate with him.

Following the guidance of Yang Xiao's guide map 1, the two of them gradually approached Area F. The announcement on the road that sounded like a reminder rang again, and another person was missing. This time it was Longzi No. 78.

"Another one was killed by a ghost..." Lu Chenzhou's brows furrowed under his mask. This was not a good sign.

Every time you kill a human ghost, you will become stronger. If this continues, the consequences of meeting that guy again will be unpredictable.

At the same time, Yang Xiao and the others also realized one thing. The radio would only report missing people, that is, people killed by ghosts. It would not mention the guys killed by their own people, such as those killed by Yang Xiao in a sneak attack. prison word 199

No. man.

Therefore, they cannot rely on the radio to determine how many people are still alive. They can only rely on the notice boards and the electronic board that counts the number of people in the park.

On the way, Yang Xiao focused on looking for these two things. He first found a notice board in Area D when he passed by. There were two more missing persons notices on it. One was Tianzi No. 41. Surprisingly, there were photos on it. , the photo shows a guy wearing a Tianzi No. 41 mask. His body looks like a woman, wearing a white sportswear.

The other one is Dragon Number 78, which was broadcast not long ago. It is most likely a man, wearing a T-shirt on his upper body, revealing two thick arms.

Both of them were killed by the Joker.

Not long after, the two found an electronic statistical board in front of a restaurant. The number of tourists was 4,417 and the number of employees was 991. This has not changed, except that the final total number of statistics changed to 5,416, three less than the original 5,419. .

Tianzi No. 41, Longzi No. 78, plus Prisoner No. 199, who was killed by Yang Xiao not long ago, are just enough.

It seems that the remaining teammates are also very smart and have not started killing each other yet. After all, the time has not yet come.

Nowadays, ghosts are the public enemies. Every time one more teammate dies, they will face one more crisis and share one more risk. If Prisoner No. 199 hadn't gone too far, keeping him would be a hidden danger sooner or later. Yang Xiao didn't want to kill him. .

Suddenly, the radio somewhere above the head rang again, the voice was harsh: "There is a message being broadcast now. Mr. Daozi 131 reminds his friends that the weather has been bad recently, so they must pay attention to shelter from the rain. If it rains, bad things will happen." The other thing is, pay attention to the clown doll in the playground. Don’t panic if you encounter it, and don’t turn your back on it and run away. Face it bravely. It may not be as scary as you think.”
