Nightmare Apostle

But it was just a blink of an eye. When Yang Xiaodingqing looked, the legs were gone again. Instead, Yuzawa Jun was standing there with one foot raised, ready to step into the threshold.

At this moment, the leaders of the two teams, Nalan Shuo and Zhang Songde, had arrived at the position marked on the yellow paper, between the two strongest pillars. The two stood still one after another, following Nalan Shuo. Yang Xiao, who was far away, immediately slowed down his pace, but Xiang Fengchen, who was already two steps ahead of Yang Xiao, was uncharacteristically fast instead of slow.

Lowering his head slightly, the empty longevity hall was very dark. Yang Xiao vaguely saw an irregular black mark on the ground about half a meter in front of him, as if it was left by burning something. He no longer hesitated and stepped forward to step on it. , this is his location tonight.

As Xiang Fengchen suddenly stopped, Jun Yuzawa, who was following Xiang Fengchen, was suddenly in a dilemma. Only then did he realize that the inexplicable line drawn on the yellow paper actually represented the second threshold.

According to the picture, he should be standing outside the threshold, but now he has stepped into the longevity hall. He originally thought he would follow Xiang Fengchen,

There would be no problem. I didn't expect this old guy to be very bad. He walked away quickly and hurriedly without saying anything, and without reminding him at all.

On the other hand, Gong Banlan behind Yang Xiao noticed that Yang Xiao had slowed down, so he also slowed down in advance and stopped just outside the threshold at this moment.

Fortunately, the birthday party has not yet begun, and the ancestor of Fushou Village, who is the protagonist tonight, has not arrived yet. Jun Yuzawa bowed his head in a gesture of respect, backed away carefully, and stood outside the threshold, where he should have stood.

At this moment, the hall was dark, and the only light came from behind. The red light of the longevity lanterns in the courtyard reflected the dark red light on the ground and behind, as if stained with a layer of blood.

After everyone stood still, the darkness in the middle of the longevity hall more than ten meters in front was suddenly torn open, and countless precious calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, jade, and a large number of gold, silver and jewelry were immediately exposed. In the middle of the surrounding area, there is an antique wooden bed.

Thick plain curtains were hung around the bed, and four thick longevity candles were placed at the four corners of the bed, inserted into bronze candlesticks.

It is not the exact right position such as southeast, southeast and northwest, but the four offset positions of southeast, southwest, northwest and northeast.

Through the thick curtains, one could vaguely see something lying on the bed, like a blurry figure.

The figure is very bloated, as if it has been soaked in water. On the wall behind the wooden bed, there is a blood-red word "longevity" that is as tall as a person. It is sharp and sharp, revealing the chill of a person. The picture is shocking.

This sudden scene made Yang Xiao's heart tremble. There is no doubt that this must be the protagonist tonight, the so-called ancestor in Fushou Village. It turns out that the ancestor has arrived a long time ago, and the darkness that was torn apart before was just a hanging A huge black curtain has arisen.

Because of the existence of the black curtain, the four longevity candles, as well as the wooden bed and the ancestors behind them were all covered, and as the black curtain fell, all of this was finally exposed.

Four red longevity candles were burning faintly, each one as thick as a baby's arm. The ancestor was lying on the white back, motionless.

At the same time, there was no sound, which made everyone doubt whether the person was still alive.

This is not like a birthday banquet. If the blood-red word "shou" is replaced by the pale word "die", it will be more in line with the atmosphere.

There was no festive feeling in the longevity hall, and the atmosphere was solemn and scary. Yang Xiao and others did not dare to move, nor did they dare to look up.

Worried about being targeted by this ancestor.

Time passed by, and soon after, the first longevity candle went out, the one in the northwest corner.

Everyone knelt down with their heads in their hands and saluted. After kneeling for a long time, they arched their hands to the ground, bowed their heads to their hands, repeated this three times, and then stood up.

But after standing up, the scene in front of them shocked everyone present. They saw a figure sitting upright on the wooden bed behind Weibo.

All this happened quietly without any warning. Yang Xiao couldn't help but hold his breath. He guessed that the ancestor would probably get out of bed, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement from the other party. He just sat up quietly. Turn your back to them.

There was silence in the longevity hall, but if you listened carefully, you could vaguely hear the breathing of someone trying their best to suppress it.

Yang Xiao and the others were not kept waiting for too long. Soon, the second longevity candle was extinguished, the one in the northeast corner. After noticing the abnormality, Yang Xiao also paid special attention to the movement near the wooden bed, and this time he saw it clearly. There was something wrong with the candle being extinguished. It was not that it burned out, but that the flame shook for no reason before it was extinguished. It felt like... it was blown out by something.

But he couldn't help but think too much. He immediately knelt down according to the rules and knelt down again. After repeating it three times, he stood up. When he raised his head, he found that his ancestor was still sitting on the wooden bed behind the curtain, but... Yang Xiao frowned. My eyebrows feel different from before.

After a short observation, he discovered the problem. The ancestor was sitting down, but this time, the ancestor no longer faced his back, but turned around, with a swollen and deformed head. This scene seemed familiar, and Yang Xiao immediately thought The owner of the village was sitting in a sedan chair.

The ancestor and the owner of the village seem to be wearing masks on their faces, but the owner of the village is probably not the ancestor. The mask of the ancestor is even more terrifying.

And it's very distinctive. There are two deformed antlers sticking out on the left and right sides of the forehead.

With a "pop", the longevity candle in the southwest was also extinguished, and the interval between the candles extinguishing became faster and faster. When he stood up again, sure enough, the ancestor's posture changed again, and this time, he stood up directly.

I dare not look directly, so I can only test with my peripheral vision. Now three of the four candles have been extinguished, and the longevity hall is almost shrouded in darkness. At this moment, through the light of the last candle, I can vaguely see the wooden bed standing behind the curtain. There is a dark shadow.

The black shadow had a bloated body and a weird head. Without waiting for Yang Xiao to observe carefully, the last longevity candle was extinguished, and this time, the longevity hall was completely shrouded in darkness.

The feeling of uneasiness was fermenting, but the rules should not be forgotten. Yang Xiao knelt down and knelt down, and the process was meticulous. According to the master's request, the next step was to wait. Waiting for the sound of throwing stones outside to catch up with the night, they could exit. longevity hall.

But as expected, the surprise came right now. In the near-silent darkness, a burst of "clattering" sound suddenly sounded.

The sound was very soft but very clear, but the strange thing was that Yang Xiao listened carefully, but could not tell where the sound came from in the darkness.

But he can be sure that this voice must be related to that ancestor. That ancestor... Got out of bed.

This is not a "redemption" of longevity. It's almost enough to borrow life. These few prayers, they actually woke up their ancestors.

"Wow.:

"Wow.

The sound of iron chains echoed in the longevity hall. Now everyone is in danger. At this time, the quality of the old players is reflected. If there are new players, they may be frightened and run away, but for experienced old players For me, escaping now would mean death.

Even if they die, they will die in the longevity hall.

Everyone was kneeling on the ground, almost motionless. Yang Xiao lowered his head and faced down, steadying his concentration and not looking around.

At this moment, Yuzawa Jun was undoubtedly the one who was most stressed. In addition to the sound of iron chains, he also heard a "ticking" sound, which was the sound of dripping water.

Right behind him!

Behind him was Yuan Ruoqi, but she was already dead. She was drowned in the water while bathing. Everyone saw her body, and then she disappeared.

"Tick tock."

"Tick tock."

The sound of dripping water was neither urgent nor slow, but every time it struck, it was like a knife piercing the tip of Jun Yuzawa's heart, because he realized one thing,

The originally insubstantial sound of the iron chain became increasingly clear, and was gradually approaching him.

It's the sound of dripping water!

It was the sound of dripping water that attracted that thing over!

Yuzawa Jun lowered his head and knelt on the ground, trying to use his peripheral vision to check the location of nearby teammates. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it. Everything nearby was shrouded in darkness.

"Something's wrong..." Jun Yuzawa fell into an unprecedented panic. No matter how dark it was here, it was impossible not to see a single figure. The problem was with himself. He was being targeted by a ghost. It must be Such!

Now it is meaningless to discuss why. What he wants to think about now is how to escape. It is impossible to escape intact. He can only divert the trouble to the east and lead the ghost's target to other teammates. Only then can he have a chance to survive.

Be quick!

That chain ghost is approaching. If it's too late, it'll be too late!

But before that, he had one more thing to confirm. Although he had to take some risks, he thought it was worth it. After forcing himself to calm down, he slowly lowered his body, lowered his head even further, knelt down and put his two legs together. The legs are also spread apart, in a very awkward posture,

Jun Yuzawa looked through the window and looked behind him.

"hiss--"

One glance, just one glance, made him take a breath. He saw a pair of wet legs standing behind him, with water dripping from them.

"Tick tock."

"Tick tock."

Sure enough, it's "Yuan Ruoqi" here! She was the one who attracted the chain ghost here. She was like a mark, anchoring the target for the chain ghost.

In just a few breaths, Yuze Jun had an idea. At present, how to deal with the gargoyle, that is, "Yuan Ruoqi" is the top priority. As long as "Yuan Ruoqi" changes his target, he will have a chance to escape.

The most suitable scapegoat is naturally the person next to "Yuan Ruoqi". In addition to him, there is also Jiang Qingluan who is behind Yuan Ruoqi.

There was not much time left for him. He saw that the water under "Yuan Ruoqi" had gathered together and gradually flowed strangely towards his position. You must know that the terrain where he was located was slightly higher, and the water moved from low to high. Come on, this is abnormal.

He had a premonition that the moment the water touched him, the chain ghost would kill him.

He had to take action. Jun Yuzawa had no other choice at this moment. He tried his best to use the smallest movement to pull out the waistband of the clothes inside, and balled it up. Then, very carefully, he used the balled-up waistband to stick a little bit of water that had flowed over, and tightly Then he hooked his wrist and threw the water-covered belt in an arc, hitting Jiang Qingluan's position.

He didn't dare to look back and could only wait silently while praying in his heart. From this moment on, the sound of dripping water behind him...

Gone.

After taking a few deep breaths, he leaned down again and looked back through the straddle. The result he got this time made him ecstatic. The wet legs, along with the water that had gathered on the ground, all disappeared!

"It's done!" Yuzawa Jun secretly rejoiced. It seemed that his judgment was correct. There was something wrong with the water. Whoever touched the water would be in trouble.

Diverting troubles to the east is an indispensable ability for experienced players in nightmare missions, and Jun Yuzawa is the leader among them.

Then he didn't panic anymore, he just had to wait, and when the hammer rang in the night, he could take the opportunity to leave.

But there was one more thing he had to pay attention to. After leaving, he had to take away the belt without anyone noticing.

These teammates are all smart people. Once the belt is discovered, they will all take off their clothes for inspection. When the time comes, if his little trick is discovered, he will be in a very bad situation. He must do it perfectly.

Fortunately, as required, they exited one by one with their backs to each other, which meant that the first person to pass by Jiang Qingluan's body was himself. As long as he moved quickly, he pretended to find the body and picked up the belt at the same time. If you take it back, there will be no problem.

"Hurry up, hurry up and ring the hammer...:.:" There is something weird everywhere here, and Jun Yuzawa doesn't want to stay for a second longer.

Soon, after a long and difficult wait, a dull sound of hammers finally came from outside. Yang Xiao couldn't believe it for a moment, until he heard the second and third sounds, which meant Their mission tonight is over.

Seeing the black figure kneeling not far in front, Nalan Shuo stood up first, followed by Yang Xiao, and then leaned forward one by one.

Keeping their heads lowered, they slowly retreated. There was no communication and almost no sound from the crowd.

It wasn't until they were 7 or 8 meters outside the door of the longevity hall that everyone gathered together again that they realized something had happened.

"Where's Yu Zejun?" Lou Huiyang looked around and asked in surprise.

"I didn't see it. I just passed by his place and saw no one. I thought he left first." Xiang Fengchen, who was standing in front of Yu Zejun, also frowned.

"I...like Mr. Xiang, I didn't see anyone." Zhang Songde, the first person in the queue on the right, also said closely.

At this time, everyone naturally focused their attention on Jiang Qingluan. After all, she was the person behind Yuzawa Jun. She might be able to see some clues, but Jiang Qingluan was also confused at this moment. According to her recollection, the last time she saw Yuzawa Jun's back was Before prostrating for the fourth time,

After that, all the candles in the longevity hall were extinguished, and she knelt on the ground, never daring to raise her head.

"Then did you notice anything strange happening nearby?" Nalan Shuo asked.

After recalling for a moment, Jiang Qingluan slowly shook his head, "No, it's always been quiet there, nothing happened."
