"The executioner said to the businessman, "Before I kill you, I will tap you on the shoulder with the back of my knife. Once you feel it, run forward without looking back. Maybe you can survive!"

"The businessman thanked the executioner profusely. On the day of execution, the businessman knelt on the execution ground and was extremely nervous. When the executioner gave the order, the businessman only felt a tap on his shoulder, and he ran away."

"I didn't expect that the businessman actually ran away. After the businessman escaped, he didn't dare to go home and could only make a living outside. A few years later, the businessman relied on his business acumen and was already doing well. He changed his name and married again. Wives and concubines.”

“One day the high official who had falsely accused the businessman was exposed and sentenced to be beheaded. After the high official died and the businessman’s previous crimes were cleared, he dared to return to his hometown to find his wife and children whom he had not seen for many years. "

"But when the wife and children saw the businessman, they were all shocked. The businessman laughed and told his wife and children that he was not dead. He had bribed the executioner, so he survived."

"But at this time, the businessman's son said, "Father, you are indeed dead!" I personally went to the execution ground to collect your body. The executioner never touched your shoulder. He directly chopped off your head with one knife! ""

"The businessman was stunned and suddenly recalled the events of that day. It turned out that the tap he thought he had received on the shoulder was actually the tap the executioner cut off his head."

"Thinking of this, the businessman suddenly screamed, and his whole person turned into a line of flying ashes and disappeared. What's strange is that in the past few years, the businessman's newly married concubines, and the ordinary people under his men, did not notice that the master and There is no difference between ordinary people." Zero sighed after saying this, "If the merchant's wife and children don't tell him the truth, will the merchant be able to live forever!?"

Gu Qiu was also very confused. Is this possible? But at this time, Jiu said disdainfully, "How can there be such a good thing? It is recorded in "Dream Sign Notes" of Longhushan in the Yuan Dynasty that mortals don't know how to die, and they don't know how to live. Over time, they become nightmares, suck people's vitality, and cannibalize people. Flesh and blood can cause harm to hundreds of miles, poisonous to both humans and animals!"

"What do you mean?" Gu Qiu asked.

Jiu explained, "That is to say, if a person dies and does not know that he is dead, he is not actually a living person. Over time, he will turn into a monster called a nightmare. This kind of thing sucks other people's life, flesh and blood. Nightmare can harm a land hundreds of miles away. Not only people, but also livestock cannot escape, and they will eventually be sucked clean, and they will live and die as if they were poisoned."

Gu Qiu suddenly realized, he asked curiously, "In other words, you are afraid that those people in Wangshan Village... will turn into a group of nightmares!?"

Ling shuddered, and when Jiu saw his younger brother's appearance, he said unhappily, "How can a good-for-nothing person turn into a nightmare so easily? In your story, the businessman thought he was a living person after several years! I In the story, isn’t it the same for the girl!?”

"That's right." Zero said a little embarrassed.

Gu Qiu said indifferently, "Then what is our mission? To kill all the villagers who may become nightmares? Or do we do something else!?"

Jiu said, "Keli wants to observe what he means now. He is mainly afraid that there is something behind this incident. Don't catch us off guard when the time comes."

As soon as Gu Qiu thought about his unlucky character, he said, "Don't tell me, I feel it must be abnormal. A closed mountain village suddenly died. If it was a natural disaster, with the current speed of information transmission, it would have been over by now." Everyone knows about it, but I haven’t heard of any natural disasters there recently that could kill everyone in a village!”

Ling's face turned pale when Gu Qiu said that. Gu Qiu deliberately frightened him and said, "Maybe as soon as we enter, we will face a village of nightmares that will cover the sky and cover the sun. Just think about that scene."

"Hey, can you please stop being so mean? Isn't it fun to scare my brother?" Jiu said angrily.

But at this moment, Gu Qiu's expression changed, and he suddenly kicked Jiu directly on the leg, kicking Jiu out of the car. Ling was stunned. He didn't expect Gu Qiu to be so irritable, but at this time Gu Qiu grabbed his collar and jumped out of the car with him.

boom……!

After jumping out of the car, before the two of them had time to stand still, the entire car exploded. Zero broke out in cold sweat as he looked at the scene in front of him.

"Gu Qiu, you bastard, I'm a girl, you can't be gentler!?" Jiu emerged from the grass, her black waterfall-like hair covered with weeds.

"I'm saving your life! It's so good. Do you want me to serve you a glass of wine first? It's like killing a chicken, and then run away!?" Gu Qiu rolled his eyes.

Jiu grabbed Gu Qiu's collar angrily. Seeing this, Ling quickly said, "Sister, Brother Gu, please stop arguing."

At this moment, the two men suddenly flew out behind each other. Jiu opened one hand, and a sharp arrow shot out from his sleeve and disappeared into the woods in the distance.

"Spirit Pill!" Gu Qiu shot out a spirit pill and flew up to a rock.

After the attack was over, the two of them did not stop, but continued to pursue, leaving Zero shaking his head bitterly. Compared with the two of them, he was far behind.

After a while, Gu Qiu and Jiu both came back. Both of them returned empty-handed. Jiu frowned and said, "The other side is very alert. We were already caught off guard, but the other side retreated too fast. I didn't keep anything."

Gu Qiu nodded and said, "It was very fast, but... I did find something." As he said that, he opened his palm and it was a piece of sawdust.

Jiu picked up the sawdust from Gu Qiu's hand, checked it, and said in surprise, "This is... the material for a prosthetic device, and the other party is a puppet master!?"

Gu Qiu didn't know much about this, so he didn't say anything, but at this time Ling said, "Sister, maybe this is not an ordinary puppet master. This is... a puppet. I think I know what the other party wants to do."

"You know!?" Jiu was a little surprised.

Zero immediately said, "Well, the other party probably wants to create a batch of nightmares and then attach them with prosthetics. In this case... the ghost puppets will have extremely strong abilities and even intelligence."

Jiu took a breath and immediately said, "If this is really the case... then the matter is very serious. We can't go, we must go back, notify Corey, and send a large team of people to deal with this matter."

At this moment, Gu Qiu suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance. He pointed at the faint light curtain in the sky and said, "You two, what is that thing...?"

The two of them looked at Gu Qiu's finger, and then looked shocked. Ling said bitterly, "Brother Gu, that is the barrier!"

"Did you do it?" Gu Qiu asked.

Zero shook his head, pointed to his box and said, "No, I haven't even taken out anything!"
