Nightmare Attack

Behind the white curtain, figures began to appear, but strangely, apart from the mingling of musical instruments, there was only the creaking sound of feet on the wooden boards on the stage, and there was no human voice.

It gives people the feeling that the ghost drama is still brewing and has not yet started, as if... waiting.

Soon Jiang Cheng knew what he was waiting for. Burnt figures walked towards Jiang Cheng with stiff steps, found their own seats, and sat down.

During this process, Jiang Cheng's body tensed up, and he could clearly feel several malicious eyes wandering behind him, wanting to eat him alive.

As the last figure sat down, the curtain made of white linen slowly opened. The next second, a dull gong sounded, and the ghost show officially began!

All the flickering lights above the head were extinguished, but were replaced by many candles.

White candle.

There were probably dozens of them, burning all around at the same time, emitting a terrifying light.

With this light, Jiang Cheng noticed that among the seats of the audience tonight, he was the only one leaving a shadow on the ground.

It was indeed a ghost show, and he was the only living person in the audience.

On the rough stage, several people in costumes stood up and sang to the short and rapid drumbeats.

Jiang Cheng didn't listen to plays very much and didn't understand much, but even so, he could tell that something was wrong with the play, the rhythm was wrong, and there was something wrong with the actors' appearance.

No matter what kind of makeup the actors wore, their faces always looked a miserable green.

At first, Jiang Cheng subconsciously thought that these actors were also ghosts, but soon he realized that things were not that simple. Although the actors' eyes were dull, Jiang Cheng could still see the fear in their hearts through their eyes.

And no matter what actions the actors make, they don't look at the audience. The swords used in fighting are also very careful when swinging, even awkwardly, and the tip of the sword is never pointed at the audience.

Most importantly, he discovered that these actors also had shadows.

It seems to be true, these actors are also human beings, and they are most likely the unlucky troupe mentioned in the newspaper, the one who was tricked into acting in a ghost show.

No wonder the record in the newspaper ended here. It turns out that what will happen in the second half depends entirely on his performance tonight.

As the ghost show progressed, Jiang Cheng gradually calmed down. He knew that he would not be allowed to spend the night peacefully, and there would definitely be accidents during the performance of the show.

Suddenly he caught something from the corner of his eye and turned his head to look. The curtain on the far right was opened, and a woman wearing plain white clothes walked out, her eyes covered with white cloth and holding a gong in her hand.

It could be seen that the woman was extremely scared, biting her lip, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.

The person who helped her lift the curtain was an old man with a slightly stooped body. The old man was dressed similar to a woman, wearing white clothes and covering his eyes with white cloth strips.

Jiang Cheng understood that the old man was most likely the troupe leader, and the woman who came out this time was not very old, about 15 or 6 years old, with a good figure and a charming appearance.

This is also an old rule in the theater. Whenever there are important guests coming to watch a play, soon after the play starts, the troupe will choose a door curtain for the most outstanding female character in the troupe, and let the female character go out to thank the benefactors who came to support them. Good luck. , and you can get a large reward.

But this was a ghost show, and the ghost was asking for a reward, which Jiang Cheng didn't expect.

The girl lowered her head slightly, bit her lip, and walked slowly forward along the first row of seats. Her shoulders were shaking so much that she looked very pitiful.

Her lips trembled from time to time. If you listen carefully, you can hear the girl talking, but her voice is very low, and there is even a hint of vibrato, "Thank you, Domeng for your support..."

They kept saying polite words over and over again. When the girl approached, the gong in the girl's hand caught Jiang Cheng's attention. There were several sachets scattered near the edge of the gong.

This is also one of the tricks of the troupe to attract customers. After the patron throws the reward money into the gong, he can easily take away a sachet. Most of the sachets are embroidered with imprints such as the girl's surname or stage name.

The girl was moving very slowly. When she passed the first few charred corpses, she was safe and sound. But when she passed the one next to Jiang Cheng, something happened. The originally dead charred corpse suddenly reached out and grabbed the girl's arm.

But as if the girl sensed something, she twisted her waist, and the burnt corpse's hand happened to touch the sachet. The next second, as if she was electrocuted, she immediately retracted her hand and stopped moving.

The sachet that was touched also changed, burned, and after a while, turned into ashes.

At this time, Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up. He immediately realized that these sachets were good things. These scorched corpse ghosts were afraid of the sachets. To be precise, the sachets could withstand a ghost attack.

"Thank you, Domeng... Domeng cheers..." The girl was obviously frightened, and there was a hint of crying in her voice.

Seeing the girl walking in front of him, Jiang Cheng also wanted to reach out for the sachet, but at this moment, he thought that the treatment between him and the scorched ghoul should be similar. If he rashly took the sachet, he would be attacked.

The reason was that the troupe was not tipped according to the rules. Only after tipping the girl could the sachet be taken away as promised. Jiang Cheng believed that this method was very feasible, mainly because he had no other option.

But now that I am penniless, what can I use to reward the girl?

Although he had a mobile phone, he didn't want to give it away. After all, the mobile phone was still useful. Who knew how long he would have to stay in such a ghost place, and maybe he could still use the mobile phone to contact Fatty.

Time waits for no one, so Jiang Cheng decided to pull off a button on his clothes and threw it into the gong. After a slight crisp sound, the girl was stunned for a moment, and then quickly bowed to Jiang Cheng, "Thank you... thank you. Guest reward.”

Jiang Cheng reached out and grabbed the girl's sachet.

Sure enough, it worked.

But how could one sachet be enough? Jiang Cheng, who had benefited from it, stared at the remaining sachet, with naked longing in his eyes.

"Thank you for your gratitude."

"Thank you for your gratitude."

"Thank you... thank you for your kindness."

"Thank you..."

"You gave too much, thank you..."

Jiang Cheng tore off all the buttons on his clothes and took away three sachets in a row. It wasn't until the fourth time that Jiang Cheng stopped. It wasn't that there were no buttons anymore. He still had them, and they were holding them in his hands. But at this moment, There was only one sachet left in the girl's gong.

Of course, he can take away all the sachets. This does not violate the rules, but if he really does this, if there is another blind ghost to catch the girl, she will definitely die if she loses all the sachets.

The poor girl was still standing stupidly in front of Jiang Cheng, holding a gong, seemingly waiting for him to reward her.

Jiang Cheng put away the sachet and threw the button into his pocket. Looking at the girl's nervous face, he stretched out his hand and patted the girl's waist gently, signaling her not to wait any longer and to continue walking.
