Nightmare Apostle

Looking at this face, Yang Xiao's mind went blank for 1 second, 2 seconds... ． A full 4 or 5 seconds passed, and the ghost with rotten eyes still didn't move. At this moment, Yang Xiao finally discovered some clues. The ghost's eyes... seemed to be out of focus.

Although it is staring at its own position, it doesn't seem to notice itself. This feeling is very strange.

It's like I am transparent air.

Yang Xiao's nerves were tense and he didn't dare to breathe out, until a few seconds later, the grimace staring at each other beside the bed slowly turned and shrank back little by little.

"tread."

[Writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝙩𝙬𝙠𝙖𝙣.𝙘𝙤𝙢]

"tread."

"tread."

"Crunch——"

Big Boots walked behind the door, opened it, and left with stiff steps. It wasn't until the footsteps completely disappeared that Yang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, turned sideways, and collapsed to the ground uncontrollably. At that moment, his hands and feet were all numb. Soft.

Originally, he didn't have to be so humble when he met a ghost, but when the bad-eyed ghost approached, he suddenly found that the human bone stick in his hand had lost its sensitivity. The connection between him and the human bone stick was cut off, and now it was just an ordinary short stick.

He did not believe in evil, so he successively took out the soul-capturing mirror, ghost lantern and other magic weapons. But what shocked him was that all these magic weapons were ineffective. He could summon them and put them back on the opera robe, but their abilities were ineffective. The flames in the ghost lantern also rarely went out.

Without these things, he is now just an ordinary person with slightly stronger physical strength. Once he encounters a ghost head-on, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Are you okay?" A line of words lit up on the toy phone.

After this incident, Yang Xiao also realized the importance of the rag doll. It was the key to breaking the situation. He couldn't help but be grateful for his previous choice. If he hadn't come in here and left the room without getting the phone, he would have been hit by that rotten eye just now. If you encounter a ghost, you will be dead.

At this moment, he also roughly figured out the ability of the bad-eyed ghost. This guy is called a frog, and his habits are similar to frogs. Those bad eyes can only see moving things. As long as he doesn't move, he will not be discovered.

"I'm fine, thank you very much." Yang Xiao later typed in response, "How are you? I heard it hit you."

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt, I'm used to it." After a pause, the doll begged pitifully: "Can you take me away, please, don't leave me, I'm really useful!

"Let's go together." Yang Xiao knew nothing about this place, and bringing the doll could avoid a lot of trouble.

He got out from under the bed and lifted the quilt, only to see many more scars on the doll's body. The eyeball made of a button was also gouged out and thrown aside. He looked very pitiful and said, "How should I take you away?" I mean where to put you?"

Soon the toy phone responded, and a line of text quickly appeared on it: "Thank you, just tuck me into your clothes."

Although the doll saved him, no one was trustworthy in a place like this. Yang Xiao thought for a moment and chose to take a strap and tie the doll to his chest so that he could observe every move of the doll at all times.

After doing all this, Yang Xiao turned to look in the direction of the door and typed to ask: "What exactly is this place?"

"It's a hospital, a terrible hospital."

The situation was consistent with Yang Xiao's judgment. He continued typing: "What should we do now?"

"Get out of here as soon as possible. The frog will check every once in a while and it will come back. We'd better find my body before it comes back."

"Where did you hide your body?"

"have no idea."

Staring at the three words on the narrow screen, Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Can't you remember the body you hid?"

"I'm sorry, I have been transformed by them many times. Every time I escaped and was caught, they would transform us, causing problems with my memory."

Yang Xiao keenly grasped the key from the rag doll's answer, "What do you mean by us? Apart from you, are there other imprisoned rag dolls?"

"Yes, besides me, too."

"How many more are there and where are they being held?" Yang Xiao asked.

"Sorry, I can't remember clearly."

Yang Xiao stopped worrying and changed the question: "Okay, are you a boy or a girl, what do you look like, how old are you, and what clothes are you wearing? You should remember this."

But after waiting for more than ten seconds, the doll still didn't answer. Yang Xiao's heart dropped, "Don't tell me that you've forgotten this too."

"I'm sorry, I really forgot, they... they did very excessive things to us, each time it became more and more extreme...::

These two lines of words are different from before. The fonts have become distorted, as if they are trembling, full of despair and fear. It seems that memories are a painful torture for the rag doll. It is hard to imagine that this kind of thing is stuffed into the rag doll. How did it survive this period of time?

Revealing someone's scars again might cause the doll to collapse. Yang Xiao waited for it to calm down for a moment before continuing to communicate, "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely help you find your body, but where should I go?" Looking for it?”

Yang Xiao needed the doll to provide him with clues, otherwise he would be like a headless fly and would be finished sooner or later.

"Although I forgot where I hid my body, I can feel everything that body is going through.

The body is hidden in a very cold place. "A few lines of words appeared quickly on the phone screen.

A very cold place?

The first thing Yang Xiao thought of as a very cold place in the hospital was the morgue, but it was not absolute. As far as he knew, there were also blood storage rooms, medicine storage rooms, etc. that met the characteristics of low temperature in hospitals. Even some large hospitals had special low temperature rooms. Laboratory, these places cannot be excluded.

"Besides being cold, are there any other characteristics?" Yang Xiao tried his best to narrow down the scope of the investigation.

"I...I don't know, I can't feel it for the moment."

In this case, Yang Xiao no longer asked, but comforted the doll and let it continue to work hard to sense the condition of the body. If there were any changes or new discoveries, he would immediately send a message to tell him.

Through communication with the doll, Yang Xiao summarized the following key information. The place he is currently in is a hospital. There are three ghosts here, codenamed Frog, Ahem, and Paste. They should play the role of doctors in this hospital. The role of a type of manager.

In addition, there are many rag dolls imprisoned here, and the situation of other contestants should be similar to Yang Xiao.

They all played the role of helping the rag dolls in their respective wards find their bodies, which was also their mission this time.

Recalling the horror of the "frog", Yang Xiao urgently needed to know the characteristics of the other two ghosts, "Ahem and Gu... what are they?"

Worried about irritating the doll, Yang Xiao obscurely erased the word ghost and replaced it with the word "thing".

"I don't remember. My head is very messy. Don't leave me. Maybe... maybe I will remember it after a while." It seemed that he was worried that Yang Xiao wouldn't want it. The doll acted very nervous.

After asking a few questions, Yang Xiao found that the rag doll's memory was very limited. It couldn't even remember the route it took last time to escape, and it couldn't provide a topographic map of the hospital. Yang Xiao needed to explore these things by himself, which was very disadvantageous for him. .

However, the rag doll provided a key message. It vaguely expressed that this hospital is alive. Every once in a while, the structure of this hospital will change, and every room will change. This is why no one can escape. reason.

"But you don't remember what your body looks like. Even if I take you to find it, how can you confirm that this body is yours?" Yang Xiao asked the most difficult question, and according to his observation, the rag doll's eyes also looked... not see.

However, Ragdoll didn't seem to be worried about this happening, and answered decisively without any hesitation: "As long as you find it, you will definitely recognize it!"

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

At this point, Yang Xiao could only choose to believe it. He first restored the hospital bed and pretended that the rag doll was still lying here, then gently opened the wooden door, walked to the heavy iron door, and listened quietly at first. After half a minute, after confirming that there was no movement in the corridor, he slowly pushed the iron door open, trying not to make any noise.

The door opened, and there was a corridor outside. Yang Xiao looked around and saw no one. The corridor was deep and long. There were white lighting tubes above the head. They were hung in groups of two from the ceiling in a very rough way. The corridor extends at both ends, and the walls on the left and right sides are painted with dark green waterproof paint. Compared with the ward, the layout in the corridor is much rougher.

The surroundings were very quiet. After confirming that it was safe, Yang Xiao quickly walked out of the room and then gently closed the iron door.

Turning around, he saw a piece of paper taped to the iron door, with the four characters "intensive custody" written on it in crooked handwriting.

It's worse than what a child wrote, with a series of numbers below: 113769

Yang Xiao has seen this string of numbers on the chest of the doll and on the back of several hospital gowns. It should represent the identity of the doll. Every doll should have it. In this hospital, they are prisoners and have no names. ,

This string of numbers is all they have.

Sticking to the wall and walking slowly for a while, Yang Xiao had a deeper understanding of the weirdness of this hospital. It was so weird. The room allocation was simply unreasonable. In a room marked as an intensive care unit Directly opposite the room was the bathroom. The bathroom had no door, only a curtain. There was sewage flowing inside, and the stench was overwhelming.

All the rooms in various departments here were disrupted. As Yang Xiao walked along the way, he saw rooms of different types in the Nephrology Department, Thoracic Surgery Department, Pediatrics Department, Pharmacy Department, etc. on the same floor. There were also many closed doors but without any markings. room.

In Yang Xiao's impression, this is a large general hospital with chaotic rules and ghosts.

At the corner, Yang Xiao found the number corresponding to the floor. He was currently on the third floor. The building was L-shaped. There were stairwells with staircases at both ends of the corridor. In addition to the staircases, there were also steps at the L-shaped corner. There were two old elevators installed. When Yang Xiao passed by, he saw that the lights were still on and thought they could still be used.

Before Yang Xiao could take a closer look, suddenly, the elevator on the left made a buzzing sound. The sound was not loud, but it made Yang Xiao's hair stand on end. The next second, the number on the display above the elevator suddenly changed, from -1 to -1. is 1o

Something is coming up from the negative floor!

Almost immediately, Yang Xiao turned around and left, returning to the corridor he passed before. He did not dare to run, worried that the footsteps would attract something, so he came to a door at the corner. This was a small room. , the door was ajar. He had checked before when he passed by. It was safe inside. He gently opened the door and quickly hid in. He turned around and opened the door ajar again. He looked out through the crack in the door. The angle was just right to see the elevator.

His heart was pounding. Although he was not sure that the elevator would stop on his floor, he didn't dare to bet. There was almost no cover in the corridor. Once the ghost found out, it would be too late to run away.

Just after he hid, the next second, a scene that frightened him happened. With a "ding-" sound, the elevator actually stopped at his floor. As the elevator door slowly opened, there was an empty space inside. No one.

Until the elevator door closed, nothing unusual was seen, and the elevator stopped on the third floor and stopped moving.

Yang Xiao instinctively felt uneasy. He suspected that something had come down in the elevator, but he couldn't see it. This was what frightened him the most.

He did not dare to move, hid behind the door, continued to observe, pricked his ears, and refused to let go of any sound.

About half a minute later, the tips of his ears trembled, and Yang Xiao really caught a sound. The sound was very soft.

It was like someone was standing on tiptoes, leaning against the wall, and walking step by step.

This discovery made Yang Xiao's hair stand on end. He was sure that a ghost had indeed come down from the elevator, and this ghost could become invisible. Now he was in big trouble!

Because the sound was too soft, so soft that it could be covered up by Yang Xiao's own heartbeat, he was completely unable to use the footsteps to determine the ghost's location, but his intuition told him that the ghost was getting closer and closer to him.

Now Yang Xiao faced a dilemma, either rush out and bet that he could escape, or stay and continue to lurk, bet that the ghost didn't find him.

To be honest, none of them are very good. If you run out, you will definitely be chased by a ghost. Besides, Yang Xiao doesn't know if this ghost has any other abilities besides being invisible. It would be hilarious if a ghost were to break a wall for him at this time.

Staying here is a matter of life and death. This room is very small, there is no place to hide, and there is only one door.

As long as the door is blocked, he is a lamb to be slaughtered.

"What's wrong?"

"What’s wrong with you?"

Questions came one after another on the mobile phone. It seemed that the doll also felt strange. Yang Xiao had not spoken to it for a long time.

The ghost was nearby, and Yang Xiao had no time to communicate with it by typing, so he could only reply briefly: "The ghost is outside.

5

Because the situation was so urgent, he had no time to think of the word "avoid", but this word seemed to scare the doll, and the screen of his phone suddenly went black.

"Aren't you going to give me some advice?" Yang Xiaoren was confused. We had promised to live and die together, but now we just met a ghost and turned off the phone and ran away?

But it's too late to say anything now. The footsteps are already very close. Even if you want to run now, it's too late.

Yang Xiao briefly reviewed his first half of life and confirmed that he was a good boy with all-round development of morality, intelligence, body and beauty. He should not be so miserable. He bet that this ghost didn't notice him. It was just a coincidence that this ghost was passing by.

"Click one by one" The sound of his toes was like stepping on Yang Xiao's heart with each step, making him unable to breathe. The most terrifying thing was that the footsteps were so close, but he still couldn't see anything. No, this feeling of oppression drives people crazy.

The next second, a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai. His eyes widened in horror. He saw a pot of dead flowers placed less than 3 meters away from his door and close to the opposite wall. But Just now, the potted flower disappeared.

It suddenly disappeared in an instant.

But soon, Yang Xiao suddenly realized that it was not that the potted flower disappeared, but... it was blocked by something, by that ghost! !

That ghost was standing in the corridor, opposite me! !

At this moment, Yang Xiao's heart went cold. Without a magical weapon, he was almost like an ordinary person when facing ghosts. If he was discovered, he would die.

What surprised Yang Xiao was that the ghost didn't rush in to kill him. Instead, it paused outside his door for ten seconds and then continued walking until the footsteps completely disappeared.

"Hoo" Hoo, half of Yang Xiao's body went limp, and he was breathing heavily. He was really wandering around in front of the gate of hell just now.

He was right in his bet. The ghost did not notice him and was just passing by.

But there was another thing that he couldn't figure out. After the ghost left, the dead flower also disappeared and never appeared again.

Did the ghost take the flowers away?

But...what does a ghost want with a pot of dead flowers?

Yang Xiao was puzzled. At this moment, Ragdoll seemed to have recovered. The phone screen lit up again, "Are you okay?"

"Not very good." Yang Xiao didn't give the doll a good look at all, "I was thinking about throwing you out just now."

Hearing this, Ragdoll was frightened and typed a long paragraph at a very fast speed: "Don't be angry. I didn't ignore you on purpose. I forgot what you just said to me, but I was frightened by you at the time." , I...I really didn’t mean it, please forgive me and don’t leave me!”

"What was outside just now?" Yang Xiao didn't care about it. The key was that it was useless to care about it. He couldn't send it back again.

"I can't see or hear, tell me." The doll acted very actively, wanting to show its value in front of Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao quickly told the doll everything, including being able to become invisible, making very light footsteps, and taking away a pot of flowers. Such highly directional information, in Yang Xiao's guess, this guy must be related to the guy nicknamed "Frog" Like the rotten-eyed ghost, it is one of the remaining two ghosts, either ahem or mush.

But what shocked Yang Xiao was that after thinking about it, the doll gave another answer. It bluntly said that it didn't look like coughing and mucking, but more like "bad".

"Bad?" This was the first time Yang Xiao heard this title.

"Yes, bad is the traitor hiding among us. It is the same as us. The reason why we have failed to escape many times is,

It is because there are "bad people" hiding among us, and the three terrible guys Frog, Ahem, and Mu are guiding us. It is also because there are bad people, so we people do not trust each other. On the way to escape, we have no trust in each other. It's invisible." The doll said a lot, and this was the most said by Yang Xiao since he met it.

"Invisible means that even if we meet other dolls, or people who help other dolls escape,

You can't even see them, right? "Yang Xiao asked.

"Yes, that's it, because we don't trust each other, and we are all worried that the other person is not a companion, but a 'bad' person in disguise." Ragdoll admitted.

"His one one"

Hearing this, Yang Xiao took a breath. It was so lively now. Everyone couldn't see each other. Who knew which one he met was a human and which one was a ghost.

Since you can't tell the difference, there's no need to make the distinction. To be on the safe side, treat them all as "bad".

With a flip of his hand, Yang Xiao took out his kitchen knife, took it out quietly, and chased in the direction where "Bad" left.
