Chapter 54: Where the Legend Lies in the World (1st Update)
Huang Buyi was on the run, the scenery along the way became a little illusory, and the picture of his life and past appeared in front of his eyes again. In the end, he didn't expect that a long sweet dream would suddenly wake up, he laughed at others playing with fire and self-immolation and suddenly dying on the street, and mocked others for not knowing what was going on for themselves, but he never thought that he would finally have such a day.
Huang Bulu really couldn't accept that he didn't fall on the road of chasing power and ambition, and was defeated by a powerful enemy with peace of mind. He did not kneel on the journey of thirsting for wealth and freedom, paying the price for himself, and it was better to finish it once before dying.
He is just such a wretch, because he miscalculated the other party's abilities and props, he stepped forward and wanted to kill back, and he couldn't control his anger and was used by the other party. Eventually, he will be attacked by the ghost slave, and he will die a senseless death, leaving nothing left in this world.
"No, I don't want to die like this, I still want it, I still want to ......"
Huang Buyi clutched his chest, the pressure of anger and suffocation made him quickly confused, and all the struggles and efforts in the past seemed to be just a mirror in front of him. It seems that someone is surrounding him, it seems that someone still has not given up the pursuit, as if the mountains are full of pursuers, and he has nowhere to run.
Huang Buyi only felt that his brain was becoming more and more blank, his steps were getting heavier and heavier, and the feeling of dryness and numbness was gradually replacing the dominance of his body, but he still didn't want to die.
Until the brain could no longer maintain the angry emotion, the struggle to return to the light made Huang Buyi suddenly sober up for a few seconds. He saw the masked ghost slave, holding a butcher's knife slowly approaching, and almost without hesitation, a knife stabbed him in the chest.
The strength of every inch was increasing, and Huang Buyi's heart was beating wildly, and the sharp pain of exhaustion kept coming. He knelt on the ground, grabbing Xu Yunge's hands tightly, not wanting the knife to go any further, his expression was full of pain and remorse, eager to be able to exchange for the last chance.
"Please, let me go! I was wrong, I was really wrong, that horror legend, I saw that the Hu family's parents were so hateful, I was impulsive and enthusiastic, I had no experience as a detective and no ability to investigate cases, I tried my best to exchange for rewards, I just wanted to live! ”
"You... You're also going on the hunt for the reward! When you see the inferior appearance of the Hu family's parents, you also have an evil fire in your chest, and you can't wait to kill them! Why can people never understand each other's situation, if I could mix glamorously and return home, would I be where I am now? ”
"If you let me go, as long as you let me go, I can tell you a lot of knowledge about the curse, and it will definitely improve your chances of survival! No, that's not all, I can recommend you to become the captain of the Black Locust Organization, you won't do anything good by killing me, you can completely harvest the props of newcomers to strengthen yourself, why do you want to kill a meaningless person, are you crazy! ”
Huang Buyi couldn't see the expression under Xu Yunge's mask, he only saw a pair of resolute and indifferent eyes, completely unshaken by his speech. Those eyes refused to give him even a hint of ridicule, and without giving him a chance to speak and a room to breathe, they wanted to take away everything he had struggled for.
"Why are you, like those demons, just want to vent and reckless of the consequences! If you go on like this, you will become a ghost sooner or later, and you will not end well like this, you ......"
When Huang Buyu struggled to the limit, black mist poured out of his body again. Even though he could no longer feel the scarlet rune, as if all the curses and powers had betrayed his will the moment he was defeated, he still didn't want to die.
Huang Buyi grabbed a brick and desperately wanted to fight back, but Xu Yunge gently dodged him. Seeing Xu Yunge grab a brick with his backhand and slap it on his temple without hesitation, he didn't have the strength to resist.
His brain was blank, not beautiful, not sad, and in the short blank, Huang Buyu forgot who he was. When he regained consciousness, the numbness quickly subsided, and the lingering exhaustion and pain struck him, dragging him away from all the curses and demons that would eventually end up with him.
"I want to live a good life, I want not to be looked down upon, I want to change my fate, am I really wrong! Where else can I go, I didn't even plant a field when I returned to my hometown, I was bullied and humiliated everywhere in the city, I worked sincerely and hard, in exchange for being used and framed! ”
"Why am I the only one suffering, where are all the black bosses who deduct their wages and suck blood like crazy! What are those iron rice bowls doing with tax evasion and a bunch of rich people! Why do I want to set up a small stall and be completely smashed by the chengguan, is it wrong for me to want to live! ”
"No, I don't want to go to hell, why, why should I be the only one who goes to hell! I curse your efforts for all dreams, I curse your struggles for being useless, I curse you for not dying well, I curse you for having such a day sooner or later, ahhhhhh ”
Huang Buqi ran away again, he didn't run fast, like the exhaustion and helplessness of sprinting at the end of a marathon. He also had a butcher knife stuck in his body, and there was black mist gushing out of his body, for the sake of safety, Xu Yunge did not chase with all his might, but followed behind inch by inch.
A ghost appeared in front of his eyes, and all the scenes of Taiping Town turned into a ghost market in his eyes, and then burned wildly. A black and white figure stood not far away, their faces were a little familiar, but they looked like a pair of barefoot girls in black and white, quietly watching the last burning of this life.
A subconscious fear made Huang Buyu avoid their position, and he ran towards the commercial street, no matter what, he still had to make a final struggle.
But the moment he stepped into the shopping street, a playful and vicious gaze locked on his body, and a strange hissing sound like a snake kept coming from the darkness, almost making his body petrify in place.
The strange voice whispered to him: "I have heard the roar of your heart, and I have learned the last resentment of your heart. I can give you a chance that if you win, you can go back to the ghost market and start over, and if you lose, you will become a death sacrifice to horror legends. ”
"I do!" Huang Buyi agreed without thinking about it, he was shocked, and he also knew that when he first asked for the curse, it was the same scene as today.
Seeing that someone else seemed to be rounding up, a curse talisman and a curse stone appeared out of thin air in the black mist, and Huang Buyi immediately grabbed them in the palm of his hand.
"The horror legend is about to appear, and the number of sacrifices is still 1 short, and it must be completed before dawn. Kill the ghost slave, turn him into a sacrifice, and you can be reborn. If you fail, you will only fall into nightmare hell forever, and your soul will never escape until you are devoured by evil spirits. ”
Huang Buyi was desperate, he clenched the curse stone and the charm, and there was a tingling pain in his palm, and the power of the curse almost drained him. A large cloud of black mist melted into the pre-dawn darkness, engulfing everything around it.
The street lights have not been extinguished, but Xu Yunge feels that the street scene in front of him has suddenly changed, no matter how he goes, he looks like a ghost hitting the wall. His heart moved, he didn't know if this vision was a curse caused by Huang Buqian's desperate donkey skills, he just imitated Dou Xinwei's actions and started searching.
Throwing stones to ask for directions: If you get lost, throw a stone and you will find the way.
"I didn't expect Dou Xinwei and Da Hei to have a car accident, and that incident turned out to be really done by him. It seems that he can't turn over any tricks, and he can't run far. Xu Yunge picked up a brick, and the gloom gradually opened, and the power of destruction surged in his fingertips, even the illusion of the ghost city could not keep him, even the illusion of the ghost hitting the wall could not stop his steps.
Huang Buyi was tormented in despair, he waited for Xu Yunge to notice all this, hoping that he would throw out the deadly stone to trigger the curse, and be directly crushed to death by the hearse of the horror legend.
But he suddenly lost Xu Yunge's existence, he couldn't feel the control and feedback of the curse, he even felt that the surrounding street scene was becoming more and more similar, and the curse trapped him in the illusion.
A ghost slave wearing a mask walked towards him, but Huang Buyu no longer had the strength to escape. Let Xu Yunge walk in front of him, grab him by the collar, and grab his head, his struggle and writhing no longer have any chance, desperately cursing and resentment, and never responding.
A brick slapped on top of Huang Buyi's head, and the blow full of fainting and severe pain shattered all the illusions around him, and also shattered the last hope in his heart.
"Throw stones and ask for directions! Throw stones and ask for directions! I'll let you throw stones and ask for directions! ”
Bricks struck again and again, and Huang Buyu only felt that the world was dark and pale. With each flicker, the pair of black and white girls took a step closer to him, and with each pain, the call of the demons in hell became clearer and clearer.
Huang Buyi trembled and knelt on the manhole cover, a pair of invisible black hands grabbed him in place, and the whistle of a truck came from the distance. He suddenly heard countless demons laughing at him, he still didn't accept the fact that he lost, he took one last look at Xu Yunge, broke free of his shoes, and jumped out.
A truck came, Xu Yunge, who had already been warned, had already avoided it in advance, and Huang Buyu flew out.
He saw a bloody woman, flying in the night sky, smiling at him.
He saw a gentle woman, making a table of toads and centipedes, smiling strangely and waiting for the return.
He saw a strong woman who had finally found her family through the endless darkness of the night.
In the end, Huang Buyu fell to the ground, and pieces of fine snowflakes fell on his brow but did not melt, and only then did he remember: This world may have been colder than the hell of evil ghosts.
It's so cold, it's really cold......
"However, if we can survive until dawn, will the horror legend fall asleep again!"
What was once a fervent hope is now only a meager ember. Seeing Lao Li and others surrounded by guns, Xu Yunge stood on the side of the road with a brick, but Huang Buyu was desperate to see a red line climbing up his wrist, he held the butcher knife in his chest uncontrollably, and pulled it out hard.
In the moment before dawn came, Huang Buyi only saw a stream of black blood spurt out, and all the power of the curse vanished, and he and those vicious laughter remained on that night forever.
Where the sun rises, the sun shines on the streets of Taiping Town in early winter. Xu Yunge stood aside, he only heard the explanation that after he killed someone, the curse in his mind escalated, and 5 seconds changed to 10 seconds. There is also a hint that the horror legend awakens to the world, and the reward progress becomes 200%.
Without thinking too much, he allocated the 1 attribute point brought by the curse upgrade to his physical fitness, and a wave of warmth and vitality flowing through his body flowed all over his body. Until the numbness and coldness that had been frozen all night finally dissipated, and I was finally able to accept the bright sunlight with peace of mind.
"Are you alright?" Lao Li and the others who rushed over witnessed all this, although there were already cases of suspects committing suicide in desperation, but seeing Xu Yunge pinching bricks in embarrassment, he was still a little worried about whether the private detective was in danger.
"Of course I'm fine, what can I do."
"Then why are your hands full of blood?"
Xu Yunge looked at the bricks in his hand, he hid all the secrets in his heart, and smiled softly with a hidden expression: "It's nothing, I just asked him for directions." ”
