Nightmare Apostle

Squatting down, looking through the gap in the middle of the box, with the weak light, Yang Xiao saw clearly that there was a body hiding behind the table. Because of the cold, the whole person huddled up into a ball, and the half pale face vaguely exposed outside was his own!

Sure enough, he could recognize it by finding the body. To some extent, the rag doll was not deceiving him.

Putting his hand through the gap in the box, Yang Xiao shuddered violently as soon as he touched his body. His body was very cold and he was almost frozen. If this continued, he would be frozen to death in 1 to 2 hours at most.

In addition, while touching the body, a strange feeling spread from the bottom of his heart. There was a strange induction between him and his body, which made Yang Xiao sure that he could take back control of this body, but the premise was that he needed time and could not be disturbed by external forces while establishing contact. He roughly estimated that the whole process would take at least 10 minutes.

But now he was facing another problem. Ragdoll was urging him very hard. If he didn't respond for a long time, Ragdoll would definitely get suspicious.

"How is it? Do you have any clues?" Just as he was thinking, a message came. Ragdoll also knew that it was a critical moment and stared at Yang Xiao very closely.

"Not yet. Is there anything going on there?" Yang Xiao was prevaricating.

"No, but I... I'm about to freeze to death. You must be quick." Ragdoll urged.

Before Yang Xiao could reply, suddenly, he heard a "bang" sound. Just behind him, a few shelves apart, it seemed that a bottle fell to the ground.

At this moment, he couldn't help but tense up. He quickly stood up, closed the box in front of him a little, and blocked the gap where he could see his body. Then he walked cautiously towards the place where the sound came from. Across two rows of shelves, Yang Xiao saw water stains and glass fragments on the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol.

It was a glass bottle storing alcohol that was broken. Yang Xiao quickly found the place where alcohol was stored on the shelf. There was a full row of alcohol bottles, but there was one bottle missing at the edge.

It is conceivable that the bottle that fell on the ground was originally placed here, and the alcohol bottle would not fall for no reason. Yang Xiao suspected that someone or a ghost had sneaked in.

The frog ghost cannot be invisible, and the burnt ghost has a smell. If it is a ghost, then the only possibility is a sick ghost. As for the person... the most likely one is the guy who forced Qu Muzhi into a desperate situation, Prisoner No. 44.

"Where are you? Have you found your body?" The doll sent a message again.

Yang Xiao stepped back a few steps, hid behind a shelf, and replied to the doll: "I heard a noise, did someone come in?"

"No, you hurry up and find it, we don't have much time!"

The doll was very anxious, but it was this eagerness that gave Yang Xiao an ominous premonition. He suddenly thought of the dolls on the morgue bed. When he quietly bypassed the shelves in front of him and looked at the door from another direction, the ominous feeling in his heart came true. The place where the dolls were originally placed was empty, and the dolls disappeared!

It was not a ghost or anyone else who came in. It was the doll that came alive. It had sensed that my body was hidden in this room!

Seeing that the great work was about to be completed, the doll finally tore off the disguise and completely turned into "bad" to snatch the body from him.

And the feeling of touching the body before told him that if the doll wanted to completely occupy his body, it had to kill him first.

Based on the current situation, Yang Xiao roughly judged the doll's goal. It needed to use itself to find the body. Once the location of the body was confirmed, it would immediately kill people.

The doll had told him before that "bad" was among them and existed just like them. In other words, "bad" could be killed just like other teammates. If he wanted to take back his body safely, he had to get rid of the doll first.

The next second, Yang Xiao noticed something out of the corner of his eye. He looked through the gap in the shelf and soon saw a box not far from him being gently moved. The doll was there. After observing for a while, something that Yang Xiao couldn't understand happened. He found that the doll's route was almost the same as his previous route.

No, this guy was pretending to be blind. It could see!

To be precise, this doll should be able to see motionless dead objects just like Yang Xiao and his team, but it was invisible to some ghosts and teammates.

In order to confirm what other abilities the doll had, Yang Xiao took a syringe from the shelf behind him and threw it hard into the distance. As the syringe fell to the ground, the box that was being moved suddenly stopped.

"Hiss--Yang Xiao hid himself again and took a breath of cold air at the same time. The rag doll could hear it, which was a big trouble. This meant that his previous conversation with Qu Muzhi was heard. The rag doll knew that it had been exposed, but it did not move, just waiting for this moment.

The phone screen lit up, "Where are you?"

It was sent by the rag doll. It seemed that this guy could not bear it anymore. Yang Xiao pretended to be calm and continued to deal with it, "Still looking, don't rush."

"I think I can give you some advice. Which places have you looked for?" The rag doll asked pretentiously.

"I have already found almost half of the places. It will be soon." At this moment, the two knew each other's little calculations, but they understood each other tacitly.

Before Yang Xiao could come up with a solution, the screen of his mobile phone suddenly lit up again. This time it was Qu Muzhi who sent a message, reminding Yang Xiao to be careful, saying that the burnt ghost had just taken the elevator to the 7th floor and was now going down the stairs.

It was raining cats and dogs. A "bad guy" hiding in the dark was already troublesome enough, and now there was a burnt ghost, making the situation even more complicated.

The more critical the moment, the more calm you have to be. Yang Xiao took a deep breath and integrated the information he had collected so far. He decided to find an opportunity to kill the rag doll first.

The situation seemed critical now, but he still had a very important advantage. Only he could find his body. As long as the rag doll did not confirm the location of the body for one minute, it would not dare to attack him.

And he could use his body as bait to set a trap and kill the opponent.

Of course, to be safe, he needed to set the battlefield in a fake hiding place, so that even if he failed, the real location of his body would not be exposed.

He analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of himself and the doll. In terms of vision, smell and hearing, the two were almost equal. In terms of weapons, he had a kitchen knife and a short stick, which gave him some advantages. He decided to strike first.

First, he needed to find a good place for his ambush. Soon, he found it. In a corner on the west side of the house, there were several large boxes piled up here. The light was poor, which seemed to be a place where he could hide his body. Of course, the most important thing was that it was also suitable for his ambush.

Acting should be done in full. After simply arranging the scene, the rest was fishing. He deliberately exposed himself to a place where the doll could see him, and attracted the doll's attention by moving the nearby medicine box. Then he came to the selected ambush point, pretending to be busy here, and quickly restored the box after moving it away, as if he was worried about being discovered.

Sure enough, half a minute later, Yang Xiao received a message from the doll, asking Yang Xiao how he was doing.

Yang Xiao's reply was that he had found nothing.

After replying to the message, Yang Xiao's hands moved faster and faster, as if he was intentionally hiding something.

"It's not here, let's look for it in another room." After resetting the last box, Yang Xiao took out his mobile phone and immediately replied to the doll. At the same time, he deliberately stepped harder and walked out.

But just after walking two shelves away, Yang Xiao stopped, holding a short stick in his left hand and a kitchen knife in his right hand, and lurked back again, standing not far from the row of boxes, waiting quietly.

The doll was fooled. About 10 seconds later, Yang Xiao heard a very light footsteps, and then he saw that a box placed on the top was slowly moved, as if there were two invisible hands moving it.

Now!

Yang Xiao rushed forward, calculated the position of the doll's head, and chopped it down with a knife, but the doll reacted quickly. When it heard the footsteps behind it, its body seemed to be offset a little. This knife did not hit the head, but only the shoulder.

After failing to hit him, Yang Xiao grabbed the human bone stick. This stick hit his head firmly, making a dull sound, but Yang Xiao was also hit by the wooden box thrown over. Although he avoided the face, he was also knocked down by the huge force. When he got up, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps running away. The doll was in a panic and knocked down a shelf in the middle of the way, and messy medicine bottles fell to the ground.

The plan was fine, but the reaction and tenacity of the doll did exceed Yang Xiao's expectations. This guy was more difficult to deal with than imagined.

More importantly, he did not hear the sound of the door opening, which means that the doll still did not choose to escape even though it was injured. It was still lurking in the room, waiting for an opportunity to kill.

"Good brother, I just chopped a idiot with a knife. Did you see it?" Yang Xiao typed to the doll and quietly moved his position.

"I didn't see it, but good brother, I want to remind you that you will die miserably." The doll was not to be outdone.

"Hahaha, you rookie, you're setting a trap and you're just going to get in with your neck bent. Is that fun? Don't worry, I'll trick you later." Yang Xiao typed and mocked.

"I *you**!"

Yang Xiao was stunned. He didn't expect that this toy phone was quite smart and could automatically block restricted words, which made chatting less fun.

Later, the doll sent Yang Xiao many messages again, with more stars than words. Yang Xiao was too lazy to reply. He had already gotten what he wanted from the doll's reaction. He probably knew what the doll's perception was.

The doll didn't completely trick him before. It could indeed sense changes near his body. This was because the doll's perception was interoperable with his own body's perception. In other words, as long as he destroyed the perception of his own body, the doll would become blind, deaf, and dumb.

Yang Xiao's previous ambush had already made the rag doll very nervous, and it didn't dare to approach for a while. Yang Xiao also took this opportunity to quickly return to the place where the body was hidden. But when he was about to take action, he hesitated. After all, he couldn't really blind his eyes and deafen his ears. After all, he would use this body later.

After thinking for a while, Yang Xiao took off his coat, covered his eyes with the coat, and plugged his ears and nostrils with cotton balls taken from the shelf. In addition, in order to prevent suffocation, he opened his mouth and stuffed a small empty bottle into the upper and lower jaws.

It was the first time for Yang Xiao to do this to his own body. This feeling was very wonderful. Looking closely at his frozen white face, he couldn't help but sigh that he was still so good.

The rag doll's physical strength and ability to withstand attacks are stronger than his own. If he confronts it head-on, he will not be able to gain an advantage. He decides to change his strategy.

After several attempts, Yang Xiao confirmed that the rag doll's sense of smell was severely damaged, and its hearing was affected, but not seriously. In addition, its vision was not affected. It seems that if he wants to completely deprive it of its vision and hearing, he must destroy its eyes and ears, which is absolutely unacceptable to Yang Xiao now.

The rag doll seemed to know this, so it was not in a hurry. With the lesson learned last time, no matter how Yang Xiao tried, it would not take the bait.

One man and one doll were wasted like this.

Finding the right opportunity, Yang Xiao lurked behind the door, slowly opened the door, and slipped out. Almost immediately, there were footsteps chasing him.

But the footsteps only chased behind the door and stopped. Yang Xiao knew what the rag doll was thinking. Its body was still in the room. If he wanted to survive, he must come back. It only needed to wait here.

After confirming the status of the rag doll, Yang Xiao left the cold storage room and searched along the corridor. Soon, he found what he wanted near the corner of the stairs. He sniffed lightly and smelled a burnt smell.

Found it!

The burnt ghost is nearby!

From the moment he smelled the burnt smell, it meant that Yang Xiao himself was discovered by the burnt ghost, but this was exactly what he wanted.

10 seconds later, Yang Xiao clearly saw a blurry, smoke-like shadow on the wall on one side of the stairs, slowly moving upwards.

The ability of the burnt ghost is fatal in a small room, but it is not so threatening in a corridor with good vision and relatively large space, especially the speed of the burnt ghost, which is comparable to that of an old man who is about to die.

Yang Xiao led the burnt ghost all the way to the cold storage room. At this moment, the door of the cold storage room was only one-third open, and there were water stains on the ground behind the door. Needless to say, these must have been designed by the rag doll. It hid behind the door and planned to wait for him to push the door in and hit him head-on.

But Yang Xiao would not go in. He walked slowly through the door and continued to lure the burnt ghost. Soon, when the shadow passed the half-open iron door, it suddenly stopped.

"There is a door!"

In Yang Xiao's excited eyes, he saw the shadow twisting its body. After a moment, the iron door was pushed open by an inexplicable force.

The burnt ghost sensed the existence of the rag doll and walked in.

Then, Yang Xiao heard a burst of whipping sounds coming from behind the door, as if someone was crazy and grabbed a stick or something to hit it hard, but soon, the whipping sound turned into screaming, staying not far from the door.

Yang Xiao smelled a strong smell of burning, and at the same time, there was a tragic struggle.

The struggle and screaming lasted less than 10 seconds, and the room returned to silence again, until a few seconds later, a heavy object fell to the ground without moving.

The shadow that seemed to be like green smoke that could dissipate at any time floated out along the wall again and continued to walk. This time it was Yang Xiao's turn.
