Chapter 171: A Tragic Return
The deep underground passage was pitch black, and at this time the light source finally appeared.
Inside the iron gate, there was a scarlet red glow, and pieces of old-fashioned lanterns with exquisite workmanship, but when you looked closely, they were simply sewn from human skins.
It exudes intense gore and coldness, and it is chilling to look at.
At the moment when the iron door opened, Wu Cheng, who had been preparing for a long time, rushed into the passage like an arrow from the string.
The space inside is very narrow, and it is impossible for two people to walk side by side, and adults can only caten their waists after entering.
Yan Yan and Xu Lang began to run towards the inside one after the other.
The evil spirits should be coming!
And Wu Cheng, who was the first to enter, had a light in his eyes at this time, looking at the dense human skin lanterns on both sides, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
That's what the executor dreams of!
At this time, he could get it by raising his hand, Wu Cheng turned his head and looked at Yan Yan and Xu Lang behind him with a faint look, without saying a word.
This look made Yan Yan and Xu Lang's figures pause.
Yan Yan squinted his eyes slightly, and said coldly, "Do you want to solve it here?" ”
Wu Cheng sneered, hunched his waist slightly, and slowly took out a sharp knife from behind him, the blade reflected the red light, his eyes stared at Yan Yan stubbornly, and said word by word: "The cooperation is over here, my brother's matter, I want to calculate it with you." ”
Xu Lang was holding his left wrist at this time, sweating like rain, and he didn't have much strength to fight again.
The successive tasks pressed on him, and this time there was not much time to rest.
These executors have all not slept for several days and nights, especially now that he is still injured, coupled with Zhang Qingyu's death just now, he has no way to compare with Wu Cheng in terms of mental state or physical condition.
He couldn't help anymore, and his eyes fell on Yan Yan in front of him.
Now I can only rely on Yan Yan......
Yan Yan was also very anxious in his heart, Wu Cheng was in the way, evil spirits could appear behind him at any time, and he and Xu Lang were completely passive in the middle.
Now that Wu Cheng is in trouble, he doesn't feel like fighting with him from the bottom of his heart.
Although, he also wanted to kill him.
But now is not the time!
"Aren't you afraid of evil spirits chasing you?"
Hearing this, Wu Cheng smiled slightly: "The human skin lantern is in my hand, I can take it at any time, even if the evil spirit comes, you are the closest, I can even watch you die, and then leave easily." ”
Yan Yan snorted coldly, "Are you so sure that the lantern next to you can make you return?" ”
Wu Cheng frowned, his eyes aimed at the lantern, and then picked up one.
Immediately, his expression was stunned, but it was fleeting, and he fell silent without saying a word.
When Yan Yan saw this, he immediately understood.
Sure enough, the mission said that the human skin of the deceased was taken, and dozens of human skin lanterns were hung here, but there were only seven dead in this case! (Counting Li Bingqing, who was killed by mistake in the sixth place)
Wu Cheng looked into the depths of the passage behind him with a gloomy face, but immediately sneered.
"Although the mission says that it is not allowed to kill the executors of the same team, I can cripple you...... Like this! ”
Then Wu Cheng threw the sharp knife out, and the blade flickered with cold light, and at an extremely fast speed, it threw it towards Yan Yan's thigh.
As long as Yan Yan's actions are restricted, the goal has been achieved, Xu Lang is already at the end of the crossbow, there is no need to worry at all, and the rest will be handed over to the evil spirit!
This is Wu Cheng's vicious plan.
But Yan Yan is also not an ordinary person, his athletic skills are completely covered by top wisdom, and no one in the entire newspaper knows that Yan Yan is actually a master of taekwondo!
Just a slight flash, he completely dodged the sharp knife, Wu Cheng was taller than Yan Yan, and in such a low space, his movement was restricted.
The two fought with punches and kicks.
But for a while, the two couldn't tell the winner at all.
And Xu Lang, who was watching the play, was leaning against the wall at this time, his face was pale, his legs were only weak, and he couldn't hold it anymore.
Looking at the two grappling people, he slowly reached into his arms, as if there was his last resort.
And just when the three of them were fighting due to personal grudges, the iron gate not far away rumbled and smashed to the ground!
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and at the same time looked behind them.
There, a graceful figure slowly appeared, stepping out of the shadows, and by the dim red light, its face was finally revealed in front of the executor.
It was a humanoid monster with no skin on its body, no eyes, no teeth, and a skull like a skeleton, with only a little bit of flesh hanging from the corners of its ears, shaking with every step it took.
And its two hands, the nails are more than ten centimeters long, and the edges are flashing, which does not look like nails, but more like tiny scalpels!
Xu Lang glanced at it, his heart was beating wildly, it turned out that this was the terrible evil spirit in this mission!
And Wu Cheng and Yan Yan withdrew their gaze at a glance.
Because Wu Cheng still pretended to be blocked, he held down Yan Yan to stop them from moving forward, and Yan Yan also rushed inward desperately.
The two of them couldn't be separated for a while.
At this time, Xu Lang, who had always watched the play, finally slowly got up from the ground, and he finally took out the killer weapon that had been hidden from his arms.
This killer feature is not at all about treating tasks, but specifically against executors!
Knives, sometimes can't play a decisive role, then qiang, surely.
Xu Lang's right hand trembled a little, and he slowly raised his mouth and aimed at Wu Cheng.
Said coldly: "Get out of the way!" ”
Wu Cheng was pointed at by qiang, and a cold sweat came down, and he began to retreat back little by little.
He didn't expect Xu Lang to have such a hand all the time, he originally thought that he was powerless to resist, but he didn't expect him to carry a handful of qiang!
Yan Yan frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, pulled Xu Lang's arm over, and the two ran towards the depths of the passage.
And Wu Cheng became the last one, and followed them inward.
Yan Yan and Xu Lang ran inward, and their hands on each person's leather lantern quickly swiped over, but unfortunately none of them received a hint that they could complete the task.
But in the deepest part, Yan Yan saw at a glance that there was an old-looking suitcase there, and his eyes lit up.
And at this moment, the figure of the evil spirit suddenly disappeared from behind, grabbed Yan Yan's shoulder, and stabbed his nails like knives into his flesh fiercely!
Yan Yan's heart tightened suddenly, he didn't see how the evil spirit flashed in front of him, just a moment in front of him, and his entire body was completely grabbed and completely removed from the ground.
And Xu Lang on the side, at this time, also burst out with rare power, and the moment he saw the evil spirit appear, he slid through the crotch of the evil spirit with a sliding shovel.
One grabbed the suitcase, and the other hand of the evil spirit grabbed his ankle at the same time.
In just an instant, the numbness that seemed to be injected with strong anesthesia suddenly struck, and it quickly climbed up from his legs, Xu Lang felt that his legs no longer belonged to him at all, and he suddenly lost control.
And this feeling is also spreading at an unimaginable speed, it is estimated that in less than a second, he will definitely die.
But he can still move his hands!
Xu Lang gritted his teeth, clasped the suitcase with his right hand, and opened the lid of the suitcase with the left and right of the flesh and skeleton that were already left!
The pain that hurt into the bone marrow hit like a tide, but there was no time to care about it at this time, Xu Lang didn't look at it, he lay on the ground, his left hand reached into the suitcase, and after a little fumbling, he came across something as soft as a bone.
At the same time, a cold and mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Submit a report and you can return to the newspaper!"
The voice of incomparable hatred in the past sounded like heaven at this time, but Xu Lang was not in a hurry, but grabbed the human skin lantern with his left hand, suddenly turned his head and threw it to the right rear.
Yan Yan, who was hanging in mid-air, was grabbed by the evil spirit on his left side at this time, and half of his body skin had completely fallen off, and half of his body had been stained with blood, but at the last moment when he was still conscious, he suddenly saw a half-human-sized lantern-shaped object flying in front of him.
Although he couldn't move, the human skin lantern was right on his head!
At the same time, he also received a voice from the will of the newspaper!
Xu Lang and Yan Yan roared wildly in their hearts at the same time!
Regression! Regression! Regression!
Two white lights suddenly emerged from both sides of the evil spirit, but unlike before, the evil spirit grabbed the hands of the two and was not bounced away.
One left and one right, Xu Lang and Yan Yan felt that the hand that was holding them was still exerting force, as if trying to forcibly pull them out of the white light!
It's something like no other!
The evil spirit is actually robbing people from the newspaper!
But the white light from the newspaper office once again sprayed out in the bodies of the two, more dazzling and intense.
At the moment before Yan Yan was on the verge of death, the power of the newspaper finally prevailed.
The figures of Xu Lang and Yan Yan disappeared in an instant in the underground passage of scarlet lights.
And in the end, the empty head of the evil spirit looked at Wu Cheng, who was running towards the suitcase, trying to forcibly seize the human skin lantern at this time.
Wu Cheng was about to bypass the evil spirit, and when he was less than one step away from the leather lantern's suitcase, the evil spirit's hand grabbed him......
.......
Inside the lobby of the newspaper office, there was an uproar.
They had already seen the tragic situation and horror of Xu Lang and the others, but in the end they still completed their return.
He Xiao stood up, his back was completely soaked with cold sweat, obviously he had been following the actions of Xu Lang and the others in fear.
If the three of them are really wiped out, then the newspaper will collapse!
He Xiao, Nameless, Zhu Zixing, Cheng Guoguo, Gao Yiyuan, Gu Chunxia, the only six employees left in the newspaper office now, came to the center at the same time, nervously waiting for their return.
Not long after, Xu Lang and Yan Yan were covered in blood, and their figures suddenly appeared in the center of the hall in embarrassment.
The newspaper's healing system quickly dealt with their injuries, and then the two stood up with each other's arms.
He Xiao and Zhu Zixing were on one side, helped the two of them, and began to walk upstairs.
And just as they were about to leave, a white light suddenly lit up behind them.
Everyone looked back and saw that Wu Cheng's crippled figure was lying in the center of the hall!
Xu Lang and Yan Yan looked up at each other suddenly, full of astonishment.
Wu Cheng also survived......
The human skin lantern is of intermediate level in the early stage, and there is no solution level task in the later stage, 9 executors, 6 deaths, 3 survivors, and 1 non-executor death, which is completely over.
Rare tragedy, 7 people died!
