Nightmare Apostle

There were 8 people in total, 5 men and 3 women, sitting separately, some sitting on the sofa, and some sitting by the bed, all looking at Yang Xiao at the moment.

The man looked out, then closed the door, turned around and patted Yang Xiao's arm: "Find a place to sit, there are no outsiders here."

Five men and 3 women, plus Yang Xiao himself, exactly 9 people, it seems that these are the teammates in this mission.

Yang Xiao just sat down, the man who opened the door spoke again, his voice was as unpleasant as always, "Everyone, while everyone is here, let's introduce ourselves."

After speaking, the man did not wait for anyone to answer, and said to himself: "I am Yu Dagui, a magician, this is my fourth mission."

"Zhang Man, a yoga instructor, this is my third time." The girl in a red leather jacket spoke generously, her long hair spread out, beautiful and ostentatious.

"Wen Chongxian, I am a truck driver, the... second time." The man with messy hair grabbed his arm tightly, his voice full of embarrassment.

"Che Xuechun, actress, this is my second time too." The girl with a gentle appearance and a white dress whispered.

"No wonder, I was wondering why you look familiar to me." Another man wearing a floral shirt with a tattoo on his neckline suddenly realized.

"Oh, it's you, you're the one who played the recently popular "Southern Light Sayings", right?" The young girl who looked like a student in jeans and a plain T-shirt said excitedly: "You are the second female lead, and the first female lead is the ugly child of the capitalist."

Hearing this, Yang Xiao seemed to have some impression. He didn't follow the drama, but Yu Shu in the office was a drama fanatic. He would take a few glances when he passed by. He knew that the drama "Southern Light Sayings" was a costume drama with a good script, but the actors were like puppets, and the male and female protagonists were even uglier than before. The female lead was mocked by the whole network as the ugly child of the capitalist, and the male lead was even worse. Whether it was his acting skills or his understanding of the script, he was beaten to the ground by the second, third, and eighth male leads.

Seeing that she was recognized, Che Xuechun was not very happy. Yang Xiao could only see deep fear in her eyes.

"My name is Aqiang, I'm a rapper, I only play hardcore underground, yo yo, sissy, die." The man with a flowered shirt and tattoos made an arrogant gesture to everyone, and said with a crooked mouth: "You useless people, all evil people, retreat, this is the third time."

The next second, Yu Dagui stepped forward quickly, slapped Aqiang's crooked mouth with a "slap", grabbed his collar and lifted him up like a chicken, "You act like a normal person, if you keep talking dirty, I will cut off your little earthworm and put it in your mouth!"

Seeing this, someone stepped forward to persuade them to stop fighting. Yang Xiao judged from the words of these people that the two had a grudge before. It seems that before he came, this Aqiang had angered Yu Dagui, but the latter had been suppressing it and didn't explode.

"Not really, why are you getting mad at a half-grown kid? Cool down." After being comforted by everyone, Yu Dagui finally let go and glared at Aqiang.

After being slapped, Aqiang immediately became sluggish, sat on the edge of the bed, and stopped talking.

"It's my turn. My name is Lian Jinshun. I work in a state-owned enterprise. Please take care of me. This is my fifth time." A middle-aged man wearing an old suit, old leather shoes, and a bald head smiled kindly, with a very kind attitude.

5 times?: Yang Xiao couldn't help but pay attention to this middle-aged man who looked like a small leader of a state-owned enterprise. It might be a matter of luck to survive 1 or 2 times, but it was not easy to pass the level 4 times. Including the ghost messenger mission, Yang Xiao only did it 4 times.

"5 times?" Yu Dagui was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I didn't realize that Brother Lian doesn't show his true face."

Lian Jinshun smiled and waved his hand, saying modestly, "No, no, it's all thanks to everyone's support, and this time is the same. As long as we work together, we will definitely overcome this difficulty."

The introduction continued, and this time it was the young girl who looked like a student who spoke, "Ju Juan, an accountant, this is my second time to come to such a place."

"Chu Xi, a short video director, writes novels part-time to make a living." Yang Xiao introduced himself, "This is my third time."

Soon, everyone's eyes fell on the last person, who was about the same age as Yang Xiao, with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes and an extraordinary temperament. Even a plain dress could not hide the nobleness on his body, but it was a pity that he was a bald monk.

The monk stood up and put his hands together, "I am Wu Kong, the donors are polite."

Everyone waited for a long time, but there was no follow-up. Yu Dagui asked impatiently: "Little monk, how many times have you completed the mission?"

"I can't remember." Wu Kong shook his head.

Hearing this, Yu Dagui suddenly laughed, "Can't remember or don't want to say?"

Seeing that the monk was about to lose face, Yang Xiao stood up and bowed to Wu Kong, and said politely: "May I ask the name of your temple, young master?"

The monk calmly returned the greeting and bowed to Yang Xiao gently, "I am a poor monk, with little blessings and shallow fate. There has never been a temple that can accommodate my Buddhist heart."

Yang Xiao was shocked when he heard this. This was arrogant enough. Even if the other party didn't want to tell, he could shirk it with excuses such as insufficient practice and not daring to enter the Buddhist temple. But this person was good, saying that there had never been a temple that could accommodate his Buddhist heart.

If he was an old monk with white hair and beard, it would be fine, but how old is this person? He is about the same age as me. At most, he has only studied Buddhism for more than ten years. Such a tone is very arrogant.

However, there are all kinds of people in the nightmare world, including mentally ill people, delusional people, people who pretend to be pigs to eat tigers, and people who pretend to be tigers to deceive pigs. Before finding out the details of this person, Yang Xiao did not want to have anything to do with him.

Seeing that the introduction was over, Lian Jinshun suggested that everyone check the contents of the ghost script they received, focusing on the letter.

After comparison, everyone found that the situation of the 9 people was surprisingly the same. They were all fugitives, and all of them committed serious crimes.

5 murderers, 2 rapes, 1 arson, and 1 drug dealer, who would be eaten with peanuts if caught.

The only way to save them was to smuggle out of the country, and the person who wrote the letter promised them this, provided that they did something for this person.

Unfortunately, everyone knew nothing about this matter at present.

"Da."

"Da."

"Da."

A series of footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the door. Hearing this sound, Yang Xiao's face subconsciously changed, which evoked his very bad memories.

Soon, the footsteps stopped outside the door, followed by the sound of the key inserted into the lock, and with a "click", the door opened.

The person who opened the door was a woman, tall, with light makeup on her face, long hair tied up behind her head, wearing a high-end beige double-breasted long trench coat, black over-the-knee leather boots, and a brown leather bag on her shoulder.

After entering the door, the woman turned around and closed the door immediately, and then walked towards them. Che Xuechun, who was sitting on the sofa, was very discerning and made way for him. The woman was also unceremonious. After lowering the hem of her trench coat, she sat down directly and put her leather bag on the table.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely anxious for a while. No one spoke. Everyone stared at the woman, waiting for her to speak first.

The woman looked around the room and nodded, "It seems that everyone is here, so I will get straight to the point. I came to find you. You all have cases on your hands, and I can send you away, but before that, I want you to do something for me."

"Just say it." Yu Dagui lowered his voice.

"I want you to help me investigate a case. The case happened 14 years ago. There were three people who died. Here are the documents." The woman opened the purse and took out two brown paper bags, and handed one to Yu Dagui.

After opening it, there were a total of 9 copies, all of which were stapled. Yu Dagui quickly distributed them to everyone present.

Yang Xiao quickly browsed through them and found that there were three cases. The victims were a man and two women, all very young, and the time and place of death were different. The man died in the second-floor bedroom of his villa, a woman died in a rental house, and the last woman died in a luxury suite in a foreign hotel.

Seeing the last one, Yang Xiao suddenly thought of something. The hotel they are in now seems to be a foreign hotel, and their room 8018 is a suite.

The last woman died in this room!

What Yang Xiao thought of, others also thought of. Everyone looked at the woman in confusion, but the woman shook her head and raised a finger to the top of her head, "This is not the room. The dead person's room is upstairs, Room 9018."

From the information given in the data, it can be known that the three people knew each other and were students of the same vocational school. They were not in the same class, but in the same major.

The data was not very detailed, and there were no photos of the scene. They could only ask the woman many questions, "Do these three people have any enemies?"

"As far as I know, there are no enemies in life. They must have offended someone unintentionally, so they were killed in revenge." The woman said and picked up another cowhide bag.

After opening it, there was a thick stack of newspapers inside. The title was written in exaggerated capital letters: Midnight Surprise. After Yang Xiao took it, he found that the quality of the newspaper was very poor. The paper and ink used were hard to describe. It was completely shoddy. Most of the content published on it was some groundless gossip or eye-catching anecdotes. It was the kind of trash tabloid that was very popular on street newsstands 20 years ago.

However, on the edge of each newspaper, there was a special area marked with a red marker. The subtitle of the one in his hand was: Ghost Taxi.

Under the title was a blurry photo. It could be vaguely seen that a taxi was parked on the side of the road at a strange angle. Not far in front of the car was a corpse. The upper body of the body was covered with a white cloth, revealing only two bare feet, one toe pointing up and the other pointing down.

Yang Xiao continued to look down, but due to the age, many of the characters had become blurred, and Yang Xiao needed to get very close to see clearly. The author introduced in a mysterious tone that this taxi was an empty car, which was speeding on the street at midnight and not only knocked down a drunk passerby, but also ran over him back and forth until he was unrecognizable.
