Nightmare Apostle

"Huh?" Yang Xiao was stunned.

It doesn't hurt.

Not only was it not painful, it was also very comfortable and cool, like applying an essence hydrating mask. Of course, Yang Xiao had never applied it before, this was just his imagination.

The feeling that the knife brought to him was completely two extremes. Yang Xiao felt very comfortable now, so comfortable that he wanted to sleep.

If this was a game, he would suspect that this was some kind of evil level reward, but this was a nightmare world, and these ghosts were not so kind.

By this mask... No, no, when this yellow paper was pasted, Yang Xiao felt that his whole body became much clearer. At the same time, he suddenly thought of the origin of this flying yellow paper. This thing should be called bitter face paper.

After a person dies, the body is laid down, the body is lying on its back, and the face is covered with a piece of thin yellow paper, which is the so-called "bitter face paper".

There are a lot of things to pay attention to about this thing. For example, it cannot be folded or wet, and it is even more taboo if a piece is missing. In some areas where customs are important, this thing is also called the afterlife face, which is the face of the deceased in the afterlife.

Once the mask is damaged, it means that the deceased will have no face to use in the next life, or will encounter bad luck such as disfigurement.

In just a short moment, many pictures appeared in Yang Xiao's mind, including blood coffins, soul-calling flags, bronze bells, thatch masks, wooden tablets, and black gauze hats... There seemed to be some connection between these series of things. They were all for the dead. Something to use!

Yang Xiao didn't know what this meant, but it was obviously not a coincidence. These things seemed to be an integral part of a complete ceremony.

Without leaving Yang Xiao any more time to think, the dissipated blood-red solidified again, the cage opened, and Yang Xiao instantly returned to his original position.

In Yang Xiao's opinion, this lasted for several minutes, but in Cheng Cha Tonghan's eyes, it was just a moment.

Yang Xiao turned to look at Cheng Cha, but part of the world in his eyes was missing. At the same time, Cheng Cha's face suddenly changed, "Face, your face!!"

Yang Xiao also realized something was wrong and reached out to touch it. His right eye was gone, along with his eyebrows. The skin there was very flat.

That bitter face paper actually stole his eyes.

He turned to look behind him, and what he saw in front of him shocked him. This time, it was a little girl with a human bone stick standing behind him.

Like him, the girl's right eye was also stolen, but no scars remained on the smooth skin. It felt like the girl and he had never had a right eye.

Other than that, the girl showed no signs of injury. She was still the same as before. She was dressed in red clothes and looked very well-behaved. But only Yang Xiao knew that once the girl turned around and lifted up the clothes on her back, she could directly see The hanging internal organs, the skin on her back, and the spine were all stripped away.

"How are you?" Tong Han looked at Yang Xiao from a distance and was shocked by this scene. The methods of these ghosts were simply unbelievable.

Yang Xiao shook his head and indicated that he was fine. He stopped Cheng Cha who was continuing to climb. He planned to walk the rest of the way by himself.

"Do you still have a scapegoat?" Cheng Cha's words were full of expectations, but this time his hope was destined to fail. The ghost lantern, ghost mirror, whisk, and human bone stick had all been used. Now except for the last Mingyi opera robe, Yang Xiao Not even a drop can be squeezed out.

"Is there any way you can avoid the attack?" Yang Xiao didn't look back, preparing to climb up the eighth level of stairs alone, with hope and death in front of him.

Now besides trusting Cheng Cha, he didn't know what to do. To be honest, this young man from the scholarly Yang family performed pretty well. Unfortunately, the current situation was beyond his control. They needed a little luck now.

Cheng Cha took a deep breath at this moment and was ready to make a desperate move. "I'm only 50% sure whether it will work or not. Let's take a gamble."

"Then come on." Yang Xiao nodded, "What should I do?"

"Climb up, don't move once you're up, turn around when the blood moon begins to dissipate, and walk backwards. I'll tell you to stop again."

His physical strength could not be restored. It took Yang Xiao a full minute to climb the eighth step, and he fell down once on the way. It can be said that what he is fighting for now is the belief in living. He has the lives of three people on his shoulders.

He raised his head and stared at the sky. With his only left eye, Cheng Cha reminded him when the blood moon disappeared. Yang Xiao then turned around, one step, two steps, and stepped back little by little. As he turned around, he clearly felt Something woke up and was looking in his direction, as if searching for his location. Yang Xiao immediately realized that turning around would make those ghosts lose their target.

The next second, before Cheng Cha could tell him to stop, Yang Xiao's back hit a stone wall. It was not a wall.

It was the last step, but there was no joy on Yang Xiao's face because he saw Cheng Cha with a bitter face and the halo cage covering his whole body.

Those ghosts did not find him, they found Cheng Cha.

This time Yang Xiao had no way to save him, and he only had one life left, and at this moment he had already turned around, "Brother Yang.:

Yang Xiao was interrupted before he could speak. Cheng Cha smiled, and now he cheered up and stood up as straight as possible, "Winning or losing my life has nothing to do with you, Chu Xi, you must listen carefully to what I say next."

"A loophole will not let you drill through a loophole for the second time. When you climb the ninth floor, you must remember not to walk backwards. According to reincarnation, the next person who takes action should be the person holding the bronze bell. This is the beginning of a new reincarnation. "

"We heard the bell when we stepped onto the first step, but no one was attacked. This is definitely not a coincidence. I guess the ability of this bell should be related to the law of cause and effect such as restart and backtracking."

"If this is true, then you are in big trouble. In extreme cases, it will clear all your efforts and restart the formation. You have to start all over again. If this is true, I can't do anything. You will definitely die."

"Now I will talk about the second one. This ability will selectively restart one of you and send one of you back to the first step. If Tong Han is chosen, then there is no problem. Chu Xi, you can break the situation alone and save Tong Han, and everyone will be happy. But It is you, Chu Xi, who will be chosen. Unfortunately, you will definitely die, but Tong Han has a chance to survive. "

"You two must turn around at the same time before the blood moon collapses, because you have already turned around once on the eighth floor, and the rules have been broken. If you turn around again, you will definitely be punished by the rules. I think it will be one of the other seven punishments, but no matter which one, the ending is the same, you will die.

The halo is getting more and more dazzling, and Cheng Cha has little time left. He looks at Tong Han with expectation in his eyes, "And you, Tong Han, you will be replaced on the ninth step, and Chu Xi will bear the cost of the curse for you. What you have to do next is to climb up the platform and end it all.'

"You two, take care of yourself after meeting each other."
