Chapter 173 Play
In the center of the town, there are bright lights and a sea of people. Actors wearing costumes and facial makeup are on the stage, performing stiffly, and their voices are mellow and ethereal.
The red lanterns hanging high on the balcony, the red satin swaying in the wind, and a plaque above the stage as black as ink, with four bloody characters "Visitors from all directions" on it, looked particularly strange and eerie.
But not far from the stage, a young man wearing a Tang suit hit a stone tablet with a bang. The stone tablet shook slightly, but that was all.
The young man in Tang suit lay on the ground with a pale face, his head turning slightly, looking at the dark red stone tablet next to him.
"Jiangnan Ghost Show"
There are only these four characters on the whole monument. They stand crookedly on the monument, looking ferocious and terrifying. After staring at it for a long time, a chill spreads in my heart.
The young man in Tang suit lay on the ground, just glanced at the words on the monument, and then looked away, looking straight at the stars in the sky and the blood moon.
At this moment, his face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body was filled with coldness and a faint corpse smell. The young man raised his right hand, and his arm was already gray, and the corpse smell came from here.
Obviously, he paid a heavy price for escaping the attack of those ghost lanterns and ghosts. The young man looked at his right hand, and black threads were crawling in the flesh:
"I survived. It's a pity that one of my hands is broken temporarily, but it's still acceptable. I have a needle and thread to protect me. There's no big problem. I'll just wait until I get back and let grandpa help me sew it up."
He shook his right hand and said, Not paying attention to the black lines surging in his flesh and blood, the young man sat up from the ground and turned his head to look in the direction he was looking.
"It's really scary. If it weren't for the ghost clothes on my body, I might have really taken it. Sure enough, the old man was right, don't touch the lantern if you are afraid of death."
The young man in Tang suit looked at the lanterns not far away and the motionless figures standing in the darkness. His pupils were a little frightened, but also a little lucky. Fortunately, those evil spirits were stopped by the ghost stage.
Otherwise, he might not be able to survive today. The lantern was floating not far away, and there were occasional footsteps in the darkness. He knew that these ghosts couldn't get through, and he was safe for the time being.
"Alas, this time I lost to grandma's house. I didn't catch anything. I was chased by ghosts for nothing. The ghosts on my body recovered a little earlier."
The young man in Tang suit sighed and felt the Tang suit on his body. He was agitated, a little helpless, and his face was very ugly:
"Sure enough, this time I will I shouldn’t have come here. I was struck by lightning first, and then chased by ghosts. I can’t live this life.”
The young man was very helpless. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. To be honest, it was normal. Generally speaking, his luck is quite good. Although he won't pick up money when he goes out, at least he won't lose it.
Looking up at the glowing red moon, the young man let out a long sigh, looked at the lantern ghost that was about to move in the distance, shuddered, and murmured to himself:< br>
"Forget it, let's go to the show quickly. After the show, go backstage as soon as possible and bring the costumes back to the old man as soon as possible. Don't even think about getting benefits. This ghost place is simply not suitable for people to stay."< br>
I don’t know how many people died this time because of him. Listening to the screams and wailing, there should be a lot of them, but the young man didn’t care. The lives of ordinary people are not valuable.
In a place like this, even a ghost controller of his level could accidentally be carried here, let alone ordinary people who have no power to restrain a chicken and can only cry out for help. Except Waiting to die, they have no choice.
Of course, there are also some very lucky people among them. After being attacked by the evil ghost, they survived by some strange combination of circumstances, and even controlled the evil ghost and became a ghost controller. But in that kind of situation, In a scene where ghosts walk at night, becoming a ghost controller will lead to death.
Unless those ordinary people are lucky enough to have a ghost controller who can control extremely terrifying ghosts, they may still have a chance to survive, but is this possible?
Without this possibility, the more terrifying the ghost, the harder it would be to control it, let alone in this situation.
Putting up the black umbrella again, he walked past the stone tablet engraved with the four characters "Jiangnan Ghost Show". He ignored the cries and pleas for help coming from behind and walked towards the stage.
Just as the young man was walking towards the stage holding an umbrella, without his noticing, a lantern with a flashing black light quietly appeared behind the young man, the distance was no more than about one meter at most. , fluttering, slowly following the young man, and behind the black lantern, a shadow vaguely appeared, and a touch of weirdness spread.
For these, the young man in Tang suit didn't notice at all and still walked towards the stage.
But it was said that after the young man walked past the stone monument holding a black umbrella, a few minutes later, bang, bang, bang, three dull crashing sounds were heard, and three people rolled down from it, like young men in Tang suits. Just like that, it hit the stone monument directly.
"MD..."
A dull voice sounded. One of the three young men stood up from the ground, holding an empty oil lamp with a gloomy face.
At this moment, the three of them looked very embarrassed. The raincoats on their bodies were already gray, and some even had only one sleeve left.
The young man looked at the oil lamp in his hand, casually tore off his tattered raincoat and threw it on the ground. Along with the raincoat, there was a lump of black and rotten flesh. He is still well now. He turned around and looked at the two people lying on the ground, their whole bodies shrouded in coldness. The young man's expression was extremely ugly.
His two teammates, Li Gui is about to revive:
"Almost revived..."
Veins appeared on the face of the Yin Ying young man, and there was anger, fear, and despair in his eyes. Judging from this situation, they might not be able to complete the task.
Five people, five ghost controllers, and one of them even controlled two ghosts. As a result, two people died from the moment they came in, and one of them was the one who controlled two ghosts. A person, and that person still has the existence of a ghost realm.
Now, except that he is in good condition and the evil ghost on him still has some time to recover, the other two are not far away. Depending on their current situation, it may not take more than three days or even one day at most. Just perform a ghost resuscitation on the spot for him.
This is what he wants to see:
"How is it? Can I still live..." the gloomy young man said in a low voice.
"Ahem, you can still hold on..." A woman with cracks all over her body staggered up from the ground, vomiting rotten flesh and blood from her mouth.
Looking at the woman's appearance, the Yin Ying young man frowned:
"Estimate how long it will take for the evil ghost to recover and whether it will be enough to complete this mission."
The woman raised her head. He glanced at the Yin Ying young man, his face was covered with cracks and ravines, and flesh and blood kept surging in the cracks. He ignored the Yin Ying young man's questions, his eyes were full of fear, and he put his hand tremblingly into his pocket.
He took out a piece of green, black and red paper money, hesitated for a moment, and swallowed the paper money in one gulp. The moment the woman swallowed the paper money, the woman vomited out a large ball of rotten flesh.
The moment the carrion came into contact with the air, it all turned into corpse water. After the woman spit out the carrion, the woman's body, which was originally full of cracks, slowly began to heal, and the flesh and blood continued to squirm. He also gradually calmed down, and Li Gui's revival was temporarily suppressed. (End of this chapter)
