The Haunted

The DE780 soon approached the island in the night, gradually reduced its speed, and docked at the port.

The blind old man came in and gestured for everyone to leave.

Ye Yingzhi sat at the end without moving, silently observing the passengers filing out, until there were only a dozen or so people left in the boat before pulling Chi Yan to leave.Before leaving, he deliberately took a look into the cab - there was no one there.

From the beginning to the end, the only person in charge of the ship was the blind and dumb old man.

Ye Yingzhi roughly calculated that there were about [-] passengers from different places on the whole ship, but when he and Chi Yan walked on the island, many people who had been on the island before had completely disappeared.

After seeing them get off the boat, a man in a slim tuxedo with curly hair came up to him with a smile, and gathered the twenty or so people who got off the boat last to his side.The man's face was painted with makeup like a clown, his lips were exaggerated and bright red, his eyes were painted with the same thick and eye-catching purple, and the rest of his face was as pale as a wall.When he laughed, his whole face showed a strange ferocity.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Devil Town. Here, as long as you join the carnival of demons, you will have the opportunity to exchange for various prizes and coveted items..." He said in an equally exaggerated but extremely low-key and alluring way. The voice spoke slowly, and most of the news was consistent with what Ye Yingzhi heard from Hu Tu.It's just that the man in front of him repeatedly emphasized the words "carnival" and "game" that sound exciting and interesting, but he didn't mention the potential danger at all—he didn't say that after the game failed, they might become the rations of the demons and be eaten by the demons; He also didn't say that people may be more dangerous than demons here, not only all kinds of liars and robbers, but also murderers who directly kill and rob.

From this point of view, Ye Yingzhi believed in Hu Tu's words even more.

But from the man's words, Ye Yingzhi also learned some rules that Hutu didn't explain clearly: demons can't grab people from the street to eat at will, they can hunt and kill humans only in various games, and they must also abide by the rules of the game .This is easy to understand. After all, all games must abide by the rules in order to have fun. Even demons don't want others of their kind to wantonly break the rules.

But that doesn't mean they'll be safe as long as they don't partake in the orgies and games of these demons.First of all, it is possible to win various points only by participating in the game. If they don't participate in the game and have no points, then they will come in vain.Secondly, it is not only demons that need to be wary of, but also human beings of the same kind. Bloody souls that have killed people are more likely to attract the attention of demons, so even if there are not many murders here, even if they are not bound by law and morality, but Compared with normal human society, the probability of encountering vicious events in this demon town is still much higher.

The man with clown makeup starts showing them the items available in the town's demon shop

"... 500 points, you can buy [-] million US dollars, but I say, this is the most inappropriate item in the store." Hearing the exclamation of the surrounding audience, the clown grinned to both sides, revealing a demon With a smile, "I advise you not to waste your money here."

"With the same 10 points, we can get you the sincere respect and support of [-] people, or the unswerving love of one person; and with only [-] points, you can get the heart of your sweetheart." The man revealed a With a dramatic intoxicated expression, he lowered his voice and continued, "For [-] points, you can also exchange for the opportunity to leave the island."

"And with [-] points, you can buy a year of life."

Hearing these words, Ye Yingzhi's pupils constricted.

Life can indeed be bought here.

But one hundred thousand points can only be exchanged for one year of life.Hutu tried his best to survive on the island for a year and only saved 30 points. It is conceivable that it is not easy to get 500 points.And it is impossible for him to take Ah Yan to live on this island for a lifetime. In fact, staying in this kind of place for a year is already a big challenge. Ah Yan is not yet [-] years old this year. This also means that he needs to earn more than [-] million points in a year or so.

"If you want to get more points, you have to actively participate in our games and carnivals." The clown grinned again, and took out more than 20 black leather electronic watches from the outer pocket of the slim tuxedo as if by magic. , "In order to thank you for coming and help you adapt to life in the small town, we specially prepared a welcome gift for each new guest, but everyone has different souls, and the levels of gifts they receive are also different—wear this Watches, everyone can find their own gifts—your initial points. The points obtained from the game will also be included in the watch, and you can also transfer your points to other people through the watch.”

Ye Yingzhi took two watches from the clown and put them on for himself and Chi Yan respectively. The moment he fastened the straps, a line of numbers "+20000" flashed on his dial, but Chi Yan's dial displayed zero.

"You must have an extremely powerful obsession, and the darkest soul that is rare among human beings, to receive such a great gift." At some point, a clown in a tuxedo appeared silently behind Ye Yingzhi and sang Said in a normal tone.

Ye Yingzhi didn't speak, he turned to Chi Yan again, and explained: "Only those who are invited can receive the gift, and the friends brought by you will not receive the gift."

Chi Yan nodded and thanked him softly.

The clown chuckled lightly, squinted his eyes and looked at him for a while, then said with a smile, "If you're ready, you two can enter the town right now, the entrance is over there."

He pointed out the direction for the two of them, put his hands back on his chest, bowed deeply, and said in a classic and elegant tone: "I wish you two have a good time."

After a while, the clown straightened up, looked at the backs of the two leaving, and smiled again.

It's really rare, such a clean soul attracts demons so much. If it was in the past, such a human being would probably be sent directly to the adults in hell to enjoy; and that human being... tsk, it is comparable Demonic, dark soul, powerful obsession.But these two people are a couple.

This game will probably be very exciting.

As the clown and Hutu described before, the island is really like a themed town for people to relax and entertain.There are all kinds of strange-shaped houses on both sides of the road, which look like shops.

But the clown once said that entering the house is equivalent to participating in the games played in the house. Only the devil shop and devil hotel run by the town official with green signs can be entered casually.So Ye Yingzhi and Chi Yan didn't stop all the way, but walked directly to the central square of the town.

There is a small fountain in the center of the square. In the fountain, there is a stone sculpture of an angel standing upright. Water flows out of the angel’s mouth. If you look closely, you can find that the roots of the angel’s wings are tied with long iron chains. It's like being bound and fixed here by iron chains, with nowhere to escape.Where the angel is facing, there is a stone tablet with the inscription "This is a real angel".

Seeing everything in front of him, Chi Yan shuddered for no reason, and pulled Ye Yingzhi's sleeve to signal him to leave.The fountain made him feel bad in his heart.

On the west side of the fountain, there is a demon shop with a green signboard. The shop window glass is black, making it difficult to see the inside of the shop.The two doors of the store are also painted green, but with dark gold doorknobs. A human skull hangs above the door. When the door is opened, the skull will make a crisp and melodious bell, like a string of delicate wind chimes. .

Ye Yingzhi and Chi Yan walked into the store, the store was empty, except for an old-fashioned glass counter, there was nothing else.

Hearing the bell ring, a figure came out from the back of the store.There are two small dark red curvy horns on her head, and a cat-like black slender tail curving upwards on her buttocks. She is wearing a set of dark green short-sleeved shirt and skirt, which looks like a shop assistant's. overalls.After seeing the two, the clerk leaned against the counter and looked at them charmingly: "What do you want today?"

When she opened her mouth to speak, two pointed canine teeth were exposed under her pink lips.

Subconsciously, Ye Ying hid Chi Yan behind her with some precautions: "I heard that you can buy lives here."

"That's right." The clerk cocked her tail, "One hundred thousand points a year, do you need it now?"

"I want to buy a tenth of it first, is that okay?" Ye Yingzhi lowered her head slightly, looking at the other party with dark eyes.

The clerk actually felt a rare and instinctive sense of oppression.

She pouted her lower lip, took out a calculator from the empty transparent glass counter, stretched out her long and slender fingers painted with golden yellow nail polish and tapped on it: "Well, 360 five days a year, One-tenth is 36 and a half days; one-tenth of one hundred thousand is ten thousand. Ten thousand points buy 36 and a half days of life... yes, deal."

Saying this, she took out a black diamond-shaped vial from the counter again and placed it on the counter: "To be honest, this thing is quite slow-moving. It has been ten years since no one bought it. You humans are like this. Sometimes, I feel that being alive is the most unworthy thing.”

Ye Yingzhi didn't speak, and went forward to take the vial. When he took the vial in his hand, the electronic watch flashed a "-10000" prompt.Ye Yingzhi didn't hesitate, and directly handed the vial to Chi Yan, but when he let go, he hesitated, and lowered his voice: "...Ah Yan, try it first."
