Chapter 16: Disorder and Decay
After Yu Xing's deception of the corpse, everyone basically figured out the truth of the matter.
Zhou Yongsheng and Zhou Facai probably have different positions, Zhou Facai treats Zhou Yongsheng as an ordinary young man and intends to hold the same funeral as other villagers.
But Zhou Yongsheng knew this, he didn't want to be imprisoned and free, and his resistance was fruitless, and after being strangled to death, he turned into a ghost and began to think of other tricks.
First of all, he and Zhou Qinghai happened to be classmates, so after his death, he sent a text message to invite Zhou Qinghai to the town to prepare for killing Zhou Facai.
Then, he called two of his "idols", the painter San and the magician Carlos, plus two feng shui masters and two investigators, as well as a girl who came on her own initiative to find a boyfriend, intending to turn them into his own nourishment.
In every villager, every corpse, and every funeral, there will be innocent outsiders who are tricked into staying, and then they are devoured by special candles lit, giving the corpses inside the coffin a living characteristic.
The greater the number of people, the stronger the body will be after the funeral.
That's why Zhou Yongsheng gave Yu Xing and Xiao Xuechen tips to avoid the bad luck of the first night - it wasn't kind, it just didn't want its nutrients to be cut off by other villagers.
And now, the candle has been destroyed by Yu Xing, and it must kill the outsiders himself before the funeral is over.
Listening to Yu Xing's plan being exposed little by little, Zhou Yongsheng's already terrifying face became even more gloomy.
"Since you want to be the first to die, I will fulfill you!"
It finally stopped pretending to be a victim, jumped on its legs, and jumped towards the place where Yu Xing was.
Live like a zombie from folklore!
Yu Xing flashed over nimbly, and the dagger in his hand was held in a defensive stance.
"Go put out the candles!" He raised his voice and shouted to the others.
"Which ones?" Wei Fan asked.
"All." There is no need for Yu Xing to answer, Xiao Xuechen has already received the answer, she calmed down and spoke very quickly, "Zhou Yongsheng said twice that the candle would come brightly, and we would cut off its way and all the candles present, including those on both sides of the ancestral hall and in the hands of the villagers, were all extinguished. ”
"Good!" Wei Fan trusted Xiao Xuechen's words almost unconditionally, and he immediately went to the candle stand behind the group with the Xu family brothers who also took action.
Zhou Yongsheng's eyes suddenly widened, almost shattering: "No! Go to hell! ”
It turned around and rushed towards Xiao Xuechen, Yu Xing's eyes swept coldly, snorted coldly, stopped it sideways, and plunged a dagger into its head by the way.
Ghosts can't be killed directly, you have to find the right way, but one good thing is that you can delay and interfere with ghosts by attacking.
It is almost impossible for normal people to confront ghosts, and it is easy to give away heads, but capable deducers are different, they can complete various frontal attack plans according to their own sacrifices, and buy time for others.
Obviously, at this time, Yu Xing chose to be the one who stopped the ghosts.
The dagger left a hole in Zhou Yongsheng's head, there was no blood in it, only indescribable disgusting things, Yu Xing took a few steps to wrap around Zhou Yongsheng's back, and the dagger twisted, making Zhou Yongsheng howl in pain.
"Hmph." Xiao Xuechen on the side saw that Yu Xing helped her stop the attack, her lips hooked, and a black pocket pistol suddenly appeared in her hand.
Her wound was aimed at Zhou Yongsheng's head, which was exposed by Yu Xing, and she decisively pulled the trigger.
"Peng!"
The roar of Yu Xing's eardrums, which was caused by the sound of gunshots, also attracted the attention of others.
"Sacrifices?" Yu Xing muttered in a low voice, feeling a unique aura from the gun, the same as the parchment of the Xu family brothers.
Zhou Yongsheng was shot in the head, and wisps of black gas appeared where the bullet hit, and the black gas seemed to be consciously divided into the shape of chains, wrapping its head tightly.
Suddenly, Zhou Yongsheng's shouting weakened, and his movements were much slower.
Can ghosts be imprisoned? Yu Xing's eyes lit up, and he became a little interested in this gun.
But Zhou Yongsheng is not easy to mess with, it is the same existence as the boss in the game, in just two seconds, the chain shattered and dissipated, it grabbed Yu Xing with one hand, and the hard and deformed hand grabbed Yu Xing's heart, Yu Xing raised his leg and kicked it, unlike ordinary people's strength, Zhou Yongsheng was kicked two meters away, and the deviation of the nail was able to cut Yu Xing's arm.
A hole was torn out of the plush jacket, and two blood marks appeared on Yu Xing's strong arm muscles, Yu Xing felt the pain and glanced at it casually.
This hurts...... Not fatal.
And not fatal wounds for him......
In the next second, when Zhou Yongsheng landed, the two blood marks had already begun to heal.
He kept an eye on the wound and did not let others see the wound.
A necessary death was already the most he could show in front of others, and it could be covered up with a very limited sacrificial function.
But if others found out that his injuries would disappear quickly...... It's not going to be easy for him.
The dagger in his hand reflected the beating light, and Yu Xing showed an excited look.
While he and Xiao Xuechen were facing Zhou Yongsheng, Carlos was not idle.
"Zhou Qinghai, let those villagers not move." Seeing that many villagers had a tendency to stand up and attack like them, Carlos gave Zhou Qinghai an order.
Zhou Qinghai expressed fear: "I, I, how can I let them not move?" ”
"Just say it to them."
"Oh, that!" Zhou Qinghai stretched his neck and shouted to the villagers kneeling outside the ancestral hall, "Don't do it, don't move around!" ”
The villagers were dissatisfied with each other's looks, and because the position of village chief was their leader, they obediently did so.
Carlos ran to the villagers, took the knife in his hand, and slashed at the burning wick.
"Poof."
With a small sound, the candle went out.
He glanced at Zhou Yongsheng, Yu Xing and Xiao Xuechen, and immediately continued the movements in his hands, and suddenly, the starry candlelight disappeared one after another.
The candles on both sides of the ancestral hall were also quickly extinguished by the Xu brothers and Wei Fan.
Things seem to end smoothly.
And Zhou Yongsheng certainly wouldn't let his plan be ruined so easily, it saw that Yu Xing was not a human being than him, and Xiao Xuechen was far away from it and it was difficult to kill, so he returned to the black coffin with the advantage of position.
It pressed its hands on the wall of the coffin, and repeated the words that Zhou Facai had read before, and its voice was hoarse and indistinguishable: "The deceased does not linger, and life and death are not extinguished or extinguished......
An indescribable panic rose in the hearts of all the humans present.
When the coffin lid was lifted before, the candle tray containing the special candle also fell to the ground, and the candle tears were scattered all over the ground, and the candle tears that were separated from the candle tray quickly solidified and cooled, leaving a few scars on the ground.
As Zhou Yongsheng chanted, the candlestick and the black coffin trembled, as if they had reached some kind of resonance.
Xiao Xuechen's second bullet was ready to fire, but he suddenly found that his hands and feet were cold, and his eyes were uncontrollably looking at the candleplate, and he couldn't concentrate at all.
And at the position of her forearm, the flesh inexplicably began to soften, as if it was about to rot.
This situation shocked her, she knew that she had been cursed, and immediately used the first ability of the [Eye of Life] to drain 15% of the blood in her body, adding a shield to herself that no one could see.
Suddenly, the rate of muscle decay slowed, and she gritted her teeth and raised her gun to shoot again, despite the vertigo of blood loss.
The shot was inevitably crooked and hit Zhou Yongsheng in the leg, but unfortunately Zhou Yongsheng didn't need to move at this time, and the sluggishness of his leg did not interrupt his chanting.
Carlos's hand holding the knife almost stabbed him, his blue eyes were a little deeper, and he stopped in time, and then reached out and took out a new little paper figure.
He whispered, "Disaster ......"
As soon as the paper figure appeared, it waved its arms wildly for a moment, and then quickly decayed, turning into a puddle of paper ashes.
"Control disturbance plus rot?" After sacrificing the paper figure, Carlos's body returned to his control, and he didn't delay a minute or a second, pinching the wick more quickly.
The villagers who had extinguished their candles became inhumane one by one in the night, and the evil thoughts in their eyes gradually increased, but fortunately, most of them still listened to Zhou Qinghai's words and did not attack.
But one or two, who were broken by the power of the black coffin and the candleplate, got up and threw the candle and ran towards the living.
The actions of the rest of the people were more or less affected, and the efficiency was greatly reduced, Xu Hong was a little unlucky, his position was very close to the outside of the ancestral hall, and because he lost control of his body, he accidentally fell to the ground, and happened to be caught by the villagers who rioted, and suddenly, the pain penetrated him.
Several villagers surrounded Xu Hong, and their hard claws left blood holes on Xu Hong's body, Xu Hong screamed, causing Xu Yuan to roar heartbreakingly: "Brother!" ”
He pulled out a piece of rune paper from the small bag he was carrying, and the rune paper began to burn violently, burning his hand to the point of excruciating pain.
Xu Yuan endured the severe pain, forcibly controlled his movements, and threw the rune paper at the villagers.
The villagers were frightened by this and let go of Xu Hong, Xu Yuan took the opportunity to pull his brother away, and saw that his brother was seriously injured everywhere, and he suddenly became confused, and he didn't even care that his neck began to rot.
Only three candles were still lit on the candle stand on their side.
Yu Xing flicked his wrist and followed behind Zhou Yongsheng after Xiao Xuechen fired the second shot.
Devoting some attention to the others, he had realized that the situation was not good, and he also had signs of decay in his legs, but his body was constantly repairing, rotting and intact, and although he experienced more pain, it was not able to cause him substantial damage.
And that controls interference...... It didn't work for him.
It has to be soon.
Wei Fan was unexpectedly steady, the indiscriminate attacks of the black coffin and the candle plate seemed to bring him relatively little damage, and at that moment, he quickly pinched the wick of the candle, and the candles on one side were about to be extinguished.
Zhou Yongsheng looked at all this proudly, and continued to chant: "With the eyes of the living, the breath of the dead, witness ......"
"Witness the correctness of solving the problem at its root." Yu Xing slammed a dagger into Zhou Yongsheng's head, hitting his already broken spine.
Then, instead of taking the opportunity to continue pounding it, Yu Xing rolled over to the candle tray on the ground and reached out to pick it up.
"Mine." He pinched the candle and smoothly interrupted its resonance with the black coffin, forcing the invisible curse to stop.
A cold chill that he couldn't ignore entered his body from the candlestick, and a feeling of weakness hit him quickly.
He shuddered and looked around for a moment.
The last candle outside the ancestral hall was snuffed out by Carlos at this time.
The candles on the right side of the ancestral hall were all extinguished by Wei Fan.
Can......
On the side of the candle stand on the left, Xu Yuan and Xu Hong were obviously in a bad condition, one was seriously injured, it is estimated that he was pierced through the vital point, and the other was rotten on the neck, which was equally fatal, and several villagers got rid of the burning charm and threw themselves at the two.
There are three candles left.
"Die, hahahaha......" Zhou Yongsheng looked at the mess at the scene and felt that his victory was in sight.
It jumped in front of the candle stand, guarding the three last candles.
It now just needs to wait for the twins to die first, and the villagers whose consciousness has been disturbed by it belong to it at this moment, and its strength will increase after killing the outsiders, while the others will definitely have a significant decrease in combat effectiveness due to decay and deviation in control, and basically can't escape.
Its funeral will end perfectly.
However, one of its ignores makes its laughter come to an abrupt end.
Zhou Qinghai didn't know when he ran in front of the Xu family brothers, still holding a large ball of pu in his hand.
His identity is the "village chief", and he is protected by rules here, and Zhou Yongsheng's curse is of no use to him.
Looking at the villagers who attacked, he shouted "Ahhh
Although his strength is nothing in front of the villagers, it does buy a little time for the Xu brothers to survive.
The corners of Yu Xing's mouth hooked: "Not bad." ”
He flashed to a suitable angle, raised the dagger in his hand, and flew out of his hand under Zhou Yongsheng's horrified gaze, flying straight towards the three candles.
He is now on the extension of the three candle connections, and this dagger is likely to wear three at a time!
Zhou Yongsheng roared angrily and flew away, and finally knocked the dagger out before it flew over.
"Fuck it!" Seeing this scene, Wei Fan burst into a foul mouth in annoyance, but the next moment, the three candles were extinguished together!
What's going on?
Losing the light of the last three candles, the ancestral hall fell into darkness, and in the dim space, everyone saw nothing but something flying back and forth in a large arc in the air.
The cold touch was caught by Yu Xing's hand, and he looked at the candleplate that he was using as a boomerang, and he was in a good mood.
The dagger is a lure to the enemy, and the next moment he throws the dagger, he throws the candlestick out in another way, and hits the candles accurately on the trajectory of the flight.
Plan pass.
Zhou Yongsheng's face was full of disbelief, and gradually froze in the expectant gaze of everyone.
…… Having lost its "way out", it has become a real, inactive corpse.
And those villagers also fell to the ground one by one.
[The funeral has been interrupted]
[As the cycle of funerals was broken, the curse of the coffin village was broken, and all corpses returned to normal]
[Rest for one night and leave the coffin village at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning]
Several deduction prompts came one after another in everyone's minds, and at that moment, the task was completed.
Can...... The injuries have not gone away, and some are still hovering on the line of death.
