Chapter 19: The Cycle of Terror

Fortunately, these guys were very weak because they had been hungry for a long time, and they couldn't catch up with him for a while.

But what Cao Xiaoyang never expected was that there was a dead end in front of this road, and those guys shook their bodies like zombies and surrounded him little by little.

Cao Xiaoyang looked a little desperate, is he going to die in this inexplicable place today?

Suddenly, he heard a voice in his ear. "Don't be afraid, Xiaoyang, those are all illusions. ”

Cao Xiaoyang looked for the voice, and saw Bai Ying standing on the ruins in the distance with the soul hook rope, and then I saw her swing the soul hook rope violently, and those zombie-like monsters turned into afterimages little by little and disappeared in front of Cao Xiaoyang.

Cao Xiaoyang came back to his senses and found that he and Bai Ying were standing in the barbershop.

He asked, a little confused, "What the hell just happened, what are those things?"

Bai Ying explained: "Everything you just saw is an illusion created by that bearded man, he is a mirror ghost with some skills, but he has been solved by me. ”

"What is a mirror ghost?"

"It's literal, a ghost hiding in a mirror. Isn't there some legend in your yang world that you can't cut apples and comb your hair in front of the mirror at twelve o'clock at night, and that is generally offended by the mirror ghost. ”

"Oh, but that illusion is so real that I still get a little scared now. ”

Cao Xiaoyang thought that Bai Ying was going to scold him for being cowardly again, but at this time, she patted him on the back gently and said, "Don't be afraid, there is a master." ”

Although Bai Ying has the appearance of a Lori, she has the voice of an out-and-out charming royal sister, and she is so gentle, Cao Xiaoyang is really a little inapplicable.

After returning to the spiritual tower, the sky was already dawning, and the ghosts in the spiritual tower were noisy and shouting, Cao Xiaoyang felt a little strange, what are these guys doing without sleeping during the day?

Because he was tossed by the illusion of the mirror ghost in the barber shop all night, Cao Xiaoyang was already sleepy at this time, so he casually took something out of the refrigerator to satisfy his stomach, and then lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Cao Xiaoyang slept very comfortably this night, and didn't wake up until eleven o'clock in the evening, when Bai Ying was not in the house, Cao Xiaoyang thought that she might have gone out to catch ghosts again.

When he woke up, he was hungry again, so Cao Xiaoyang ordered a bowl of noodles for himself, and when he cooked the noodles, Cao Xiaoyang felt a little strange, this spiritual building was too quiet tonight, and there was no sound upstairs.

You must know that ghosts are nocturnal animals, and they are usually in the habit of going out at night, and there may be all kinds of noises upstairs at this time.

Cao Xiaoyang opened the door and walked out of the commissary to look upstairs, and found that the lights were off in the entire building except for his commissary, and the surroundings were lifeless, living with a group of ghosts, although Cao Xiaoyang had long been used to this lifeless atmosphere, but tonight it seemed a little too unusual.

After Cao Xiaoyang finished eating noodles, he sat in the commissary and watched TV, seeing that the pendulum clock on the wall had passed twelve o'clock, but it was still quiet upstairs.

The most strange thing for Cao Xiaoyang is that he didn't hear Bai Xiaoyan playing the flute tonight, you must know that even if it is windy and rainy, Bai Xiaoyan's flute will always sound on time at twelve o'clock, and it is like this every day, every month, every year, what is going on today?

Cao Xiaoyang really felt that something was wrong, so he took a flashlight and climbed onto the rooftop.

The rooftop was empty, and sure enough, Bai Xiaoyan didn't come up tonight, so Cao Xiaoyang went directly to his room to find him.

The layout of Bai Xiaoyan's room is very simple, except for the coffin of his deceased wife, there is only a screen, a guqin, and a low table in his room. At this moment, the door of his room was open, and there was no light in the room, Cao Xiaoyang took a flashlight and looked inside, shouting, "Lao Bai, are you there?"

Cao Xiaoyang still didn't see Bai Xiaoyan's figure, so he went to the second floor to look for Tang Wenwen, but Tang Wenwen didn't seem to be there.

At this moment, Cao Xiaoyang suddenly heard a commotion from downstairs, and he ran downstairs suddenly, only to see a guest of the spiritual tower running after a living person.

Although the man ran fast, he couldn't match the speed of the ghost after all, and he was soon caught by the ghost, Cao Xiaoyang wanted to stop him, but before he could speak, the man had already been bitten off by the ghost.

The ghost sucked the blood and showed a look of enjoyment, because he was a resident of the Spirit Tower, and according to the rules, ghosts who did evil and murder in the sun would be blacklisted by the underworld, and not only could not be reincarnated normally, but also permanently lost the qualification to live in the Spirit Tower.

Cao Xiaoyang planned to go over to warn him, but this guy was rampantly eating the flesh and blood of that person in front of Cao Xiaoyang.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xiaoyang was a little scared, wondering if this guy would kill him and even let him go.

So he retreated to the door of the commissary little by little, and suddenly found Tang Wenwen standing there.

He grabbed Tang Wenwen's hand and said, "Let's run, that guy seems to be crazy and may hurt you." ”

Cao Xiaoyang wanted to pull Tang Wenwen to escape, but she went to stand there motionless in a daze, and Cao Xiaoyang felt a little strange for a while. And at this time, he found that there was a slimy liquid in Tang Wenwen's hand that he was pulling, so he looked at Tang Wenwen's front little by little.

"Wenwen, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, Cao Xiaoyang suddenly found that Tang Wenwen's white skirt was stained with a lot of blood, and there was also a lot of blood on her face, especially the corners of her mouth, where the bright red blood was still oozing outward little by little.

Looking at her other hand again, I saw that she was clutching a piece of bloody flesh.

Cao Xiaoyang shouted, "!", and then let go of Tang Wenwen's hand and ran upstairs, but at this time, he suddenly bumped into Bai Xiaoyan who walked down from the upstairs.

His body was also covered with blood, and he still had a very weird smile on his face, he handed a piece of meat to Cao Xiaoyang and said, "Do you want to eat a little bit, it's delicious." ”

Cao Xiaoyang felt a wave of nausea in his stomach, as if the noodles he had just eaten were about to be vomited, he continued to run upstairs, and then bumped into many ghosts of the Linglou, even his master Bai Ying was among them.

They were all covered in blood, holding raw meat in their hands, Cao Xiaoyang was forced to the rooftop by them little by little, watching these former neighbors surround them like walking corpses, for some reason, Cao Xiaoyang felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

In the blink of an eye, Cao Xiaoyang suddenly found that the scene around him had changed, he was not on the rooftop of the Spirit Tower now, but at the end of the strange fantasy road before, and the guys in front of him were not the ghosts in the Spirit Tower, but the hungry group of people in the ruins.

It turned out that he hadn't been able to escape the illusion created by the mirror ghost at all.

Those people were holding all kinds of sharp weapons in their hands, and they seemed to be eager to peel Cao Xiaoyang's skin and bones, and then divide and eat them, Cao Xiaoyang was stupid all of a sudden.

At this time, Bai Ying's voice came to his ears again. "Don't be afraid, Xiaoyang, those are all illusions. ”

Cao Xiaoyang looked back and saw Bai Ying standing on the ruins in the distance with the soul hook rope again, and then she slammed the soul hook rope, and those zombie-like monsters disappeared again, and then Cao Xiaoyang found himself back in the barbershop.

All this was exactly the same as what he had seen before, and at this time, Bai Ying smiled and stretched out her hand to Cao Xiaoyang.

"Let's go, Xiaoyang, you're safe now, let's go home." ”

Cao Xiaoyang didn't dare to take her hand anymore, he found that he seemed to have entered a terrifying cycle, if he followed her back to the spiritual tower, the previous thing would definitely happen again.

He said in a trembling voice, "You...... You're not my master, who are you?"

A strange smile appeared on Bai Ying's face. "Xiaoyang, what are you talking about, I am your master, come on, be good, go home with the master. ”

Cao Xiaoyang shook his head violently. "You're not my master, my master won't talk like that! I know, you're a mirror ghost!"

The smile on Bai Ying's face suddenly froze, and then Cao Xiaoyang felt that the scene in front of him was like a mirror, and it shattered with a bang.

Then Cao Xiaoyang found himself in another strange place, this place was very large, but only there was a faint light around him, and there was boundless darkness around him.

There were strange screams in the darkness, and Cao Xiaoyang also found that there were many red eyes staring at him, Cao Xiaoyang was about to escape, and suddenly several black shadows rushed out of the darkness......

"Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang, wake up, wake up!"

Cao Xiaoyang felt that his head hurt, but under the call of this voice, he reluctantly opened his eyes.

At this time, he found himself lying in the arms of a woman in red, and when he took a closer look at her face, it was actually Yang Qian.

Cao Xiaoyang was a little excited for a while. "Sister Qian, you're back!"

But then there was a wave of fear in his mind, was this really Yang Qian, or was this also an illusion?

"You...... Who are you?"

"I'm Sister Qian, what's wrong with you, Xiaoyang, don't you even know me?"

Cao Xiaoyang looked around and found that he was in the open space outside the Spirit Tower, and Tang Wenwen and Bai Xiaoyan were also beside him at this time.

Cao Xiaoyang looked at the sky and saw the dazzling sun, he thought that he couldn't see the sun even during the day in that illusion, and thought that now he really escaped.

At this time, Yang Qian said: "Xiaoyang, I found you in a coma on the street yesterday, and you have been having a high fever since I brought you back, and you have been talking in your dreams all night. ”

"Xiao Yan, he found out that you were in the illusion, so after dawn, he hurriedly carried you to the sun to solve the illusion for you, otherwise I think your spirit seems to be about to collapse. ”

Cao Xiaoyang sat up from Yang Qian's arms with his body propped up, Tang Wenwen took out a handkerchief to help him wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and asked, "Where did you go with your master the day before yesterday, and how did it become like this?"

Cao Xiaoyang told everything about what happened to him and Bai Ying in the barbershop, and then he suddenly discovered a serious problem.

"What about my master, didn't she come back?"

Yang Qian shook her head. "I only saw you unconscious, I didn't see her. ”

Cao Xiaoyang got up from the ground in a panic and said to them: "You must go and save her immediately, she must also be trapped by the illusion of the mirror ghost!"

At this time, Bai Xiaoyan said: "How can a mere mirror ghost have such great ability, how can Bai Ying say that he is also a Yin Si, is it ......?"

As he spoke, he pulled Cao Xiaoyang in front of him, and then ripped off the clothes on his chest, only to see that Cao Xiaoyang's heart had a blue "Sui" character pattern surrounded by flowers on the other side.

After seeing this pattern, Yang Qian sighed deeply.

"Sure enough, it's a yin seal. ”
