Nightmare Apostle

He also gave some instructions on the details that needed to be paid attention to during the mission. After that, Du San put on his bamboo hat and hurriedly left before the rain got too heavy.

After closing the door, all the people left were his own people. Hu Yanming and Wu Ma Haoming looked very unhappy. Sui Chengguo was a little better, but he also frowned.

The other requirements were fine, but this last one was that when changing people, they could not talk, make extra movements, or even look at each other's faces. Who would know whether the person who came back was a human or a ghost?

Wearing a hood, a dirty piece of clothing, and a cloth skirt was enough to blur a person's figure. If a ghost really came back, it would be a big deal.

"Be careful. Even if a person came back, it might not be one of ours." Yang Xiao suddenly spoke, as if he had thought of something.

Sui Chengguo reacted quickly and nodded slowly, "You're right, I'm also worried about this. Maybe the owner of this dress will come to my house."

"Who are you talking about?" Hu Yanming was stunned, "That Du Feng?"

Tong Han picked up the dirty shirt and sniffed it. The clothes also had the smell of decay, but it was not as strong as the hood and the cloth skirt.

"Is it the smell of corpses?" Mi Shu asked in a low voice.

Tong Han pursed his lips and shook his head after a moment, "I don't know, but it doesn't smell very similar. It seems to be mixed with some other smells."

Cheng Cha took one of the three incense sticks and touched it with his hand. The incense seemed to be improperly stored and a little damp. He put it under his nose and smelled it. After a while, Cheng Cha made a discovery, "This incense was once coated with a layer of blood, and then it was dried. Because they were too anxious, the fire was a little high when drying, so there are some small wrinkles on it."

Yang Xiao and Sui Chengguo came up to take a look. Sure enough, after careful observation, they did find some small wrinkles on the incense.

"Whose blood is this?" Quan Doufeng couldn't help asking.

"Whose soul is called tonight, it's naturally whose blood it is." After Sui Chengguo knew that the incense was stained with blood, he calmed down a lot. At least this proved that calling the soul tonight was not fake.

Thinking of the fierce look of Du San wielding the hatchet today, Sui Chengguo was no less afraid of the people of Dujia Village than ghosts.

As the sky gradually darkened, the time was almost up. Sui Chengguo, who was leading the charge, took off his clothes and

put on this dirty clothes. After all the clothes were put on, the person in front of him gave everyone a very strange feeling of strangeness, and they couldn't recognize that it was Sui Chengguo at all.

After lighting the incense in his hand, Sui Chengguo set off. Until he walked out of the Du family's ancestral house, Sui Chengguo didn't see a single figure.

It was almost dark now. Sui Chengguo was worried that he would take the wrong road, but when he walked out of the gate of the ancestral house, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. He saw paper lanterns hanging on one side of the road, with a distance of more than ten meters between each lantern.

It extended all the way to the west, connecting a long dragon at night.

Walking in the direction of the lanterns, Sui Chengguo knew that this was the road leading to the river outside the village. Paper lanterns swayed in the night wind. The white lanterns were written with the word "Du". The words were bright red, and they looked even more charming against the white background. Sui Chengguo suspected that they were written with a brush dipped in blood.

He was nervous all the way, but fortunately everything was safe. He followed the guidance of the lanterns and went out of the village and came to the river. At this moment, he found a small boat parked by the river.

It was a small fishing boat that could only carry 2 or 3 people. There was no sail on it, so you could see through the boat at a glance. The most important thing was that there was a wooden pole tied to the bow, and a paper lantern was hung under the pole. As the night wind blew, the flame in the lantern flickered.

Sui Chengguo only knew that he was going to the river to fish and call for souls tonight, but he didn't know that he had to take a boat to the river alone.

But now, he had to go because he saw a fishing rod in the boat. Something was tied to the front of the fishing rod. It was a little far away and the light was dim, so he couldn't see it clearly.

After looking around and confirming that there was no problem, he raised his legs and boarded the boat. There was also an incense burner on the bow, which was full of incense ash, just enough to insert the incense in his hand.

After that, Sui Chengguo took the fishing rod. If you want to fish, you need bait. This is common sense. He also wants to know what the bait is tonight. He lifted the fishing rod. The line wrapped around the front of the fishing rod is tied with a small cloth bag. From the outside, it is impossible to tell what is inside.

Sui Chengguo pinched it with his fingers curiously. The next second, his face turned pale. It turned out that there was an ear wrapped inside.

A human ear.

At the same time, Sui Chengguo immediately turned his head to look at the bloodstains on his clothes. The bloodstains were concentrated on the left collar and shoulder. Now he understood that these bloodstains should be left when the ears were cut. The cloth bag was Du Feng's ear.

In addition to the fishing rod, incense burner, and lantern, there was also a large stone wrapped with thick hemp rope on the boat. The stone was wet, as if it had just been fished out of the water. Just when Sui Chengguo squatted down and wanted to take a closer look at the stone, he suddenly tilted his body and sat directly on the boat.

It wasn't that he didn't stand firmly, it was that the boat was moving. The boat was swaying towards the center of the river, but Sui Chengguo, the only person alive on the boat, did nothing.

If it were an inexperienced newcomer, he might have shouted and screamed, or even jumped into the water and swam desperately towards the shore before the boat left the river too far, but Sui Chengguo didn't do that. He just squatted down, tried to lower his center of gravity to prevent being thrown off by the shaking boat, and kept quiet, because he knew the real danger was still behind.

Sure enough, just after he left a certain distance from the shore, a burst of fog suddenly appeared on the river. The fog came quickly and fiercely. In just a few breaths, it filled the entire river, blocking his sight, and even the shore could not be seen. arrive.

At the same time, the originally calm river surface suddenly started to stir up wind and waves. The black river water kept stirring up white waves. The boat Sui Chengguo was riding was swaying from side to side. Let alone fishing at this moment, even trying to stabilize his body was a luxury. .

In the chaos, Sui Chengguo remembered the big stone on the boat. He stumbled over, lifted the stone with all his strength, and threw it into the river.

The rope connected to the stone was quickly pulled into the river. After a while, the rope tied to the wooden pile suddenly became straight.

It seems that the big stone sank to the bottom of the river.

The stone was angular and sharp, and could be used as a simple anchor. Soon, the boat was temporarily stable in the wind and waves.

Sui Chengguo was sitting on the boat, breathing heavily. Just now he vaguely saw several whirlpools emerging on the river.

If a person falls, he will be sucked in and swallowed instantly.

The wind and waves came and went quickly, lasting less than half a quarter of an hour. As the river calmed down, Sui Chengguo did not dare to delay, picked up the fishing rod, and threw the bait made of human ears into the river.

Then he turned his head and glanced at the soul-inducing incense standing on the bow of the boat. According to the head of the Du family, this incense can burn for half an hour, which is 1 hour. He must return to the village before the incense burns out, otherwise he may be afraid. You will be lost forever and you will never find your way back to your village.

Time passed by, but there was still no movement from the bait that sank into the river. Sui Chengguo changed several fishing spots one after another, but it was still the same.

Sui Chengguo once imagined many possibilities. For example, if the bait is thrown and something bites the hook immediately, but the thing is very strong, it cannot be caught, or there is a fish that bites the hook and then rotates around the boat, trying to lure him closer. I was fishing, but I didn't expect that the rod would be empty.

After waiting for another 10 minutes, Sui Chengguo knew that he could not wait any longer. Now there was only a little more than one-third of the soul-inducing incense left, and he had to set aside enough time to return.

Although the task was not completed, he was not the only one tonight. There were also Wu Ma Haoming and Hu Yanming behind him. There was no chance that these two people would have better luck than him.

Besides, not catching any fish is not necessarily a bad thing.

Sui Chengguo put away the fishing rod, confirmed that the ears used as bait were still there, and then walked to the wooden pile at the stern of the boat.

He leaned down and started to pull the rope, preparing to pull up the big stone sunk at the bottom of the river. But as soon as he exerted his strength, Sui Chengguo realized something was wrong. The force coming from the other end of the rope was very strong, much greater than before, no. Being stuck by things like water plants and rocks, because the rope can barely pull, it feels like there is a heavy thing pulling the stone in the water, and what is even more terrifying is that this thing is moving along with it. The stones floated together.

In an instant, Sui Chengguo suddenly realized something. His mission tonight was to fish, but neither Chief Du nor Du San said that he must use a fishing rod to fish. So if this stone is compared to bait, it doesn't count now. Is there a fish bitten?
