Chapter 166: Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night
Carnival? Carnival in the hollow?
Not to mention that everyone was stunned, even Xu Jiang stayed in place.
Because from his point of view, the glamorous scenery in front of him is nothing more than a dilapidated, decaying ruin.
Clowns, drummers, dancers here...... They are all heartless people infected by [madness].
But the strange thing is that these heartless people are laughing......
That's right, it's laughter.
A group of monsters who have completely lost their humanity are actually smiling, and seem to enjoy the atmosphere of this carnival very much.
"How so!" Xu Jiang couldn't help but look at the sand disciple.
This place, which was guided by the bear, is the most dangerous place in the entire hollow, and should also be the only exit from the hollow.
But why, is there a carnival here? Look at the scale of this march, at least tens of thousands of people have lost their hearts.
No wonder you didn't see many monsters along the way, but they all gathered here?
Looking at this huge number of monsters, it is already impressive.
What's more, there is also an ultimate boss who can gather so many monsters, at this scale, the sand disciples were able to escape in the first place?
Feeling Xu Jiang's gaze, Shatu shook his head helplessly.
"I'm sorry, I hid it before. Because I promised the mayor that I couldn't tell the truth. In fact, I have never entered the void at all, and several of my comrades-in-arms have died in the black ring. ”
"The mayor won't let you say it? Don't let you talk about this? Xu Jiang couldn't help but ask.
The sandman nodded, took a cigarette from his pocket, and held it in his mouth with pain in his eyes.
"Yes, I can't say it, because at the beginning, I was the garrison officer who watched this place with my own eyes, and fell into [madness]."
At this point, Sha Qin immediately questioned.
"No, that's not what you wrote in your report."
"The report of the city board? That report was fake, he knew in advance that the disaster would occur, but he didn't stop it, and it had a big impact when it got out, and the mayor had his own reasons. ”
"But it's not your fault, why don't you let your report look prettier?"
"No, I did make a mistake by giving the retreat order late, killing my comrades."
The half-truths and half-truths of the past make the birth of this empty hole confusing.
As for the Sandman, he did kill his companion, and there was no need to paint his resume.
However, the cause of this incident, the sand disciples did not know, only knew the fall of this garrison officer, and the mayor of Rabbit knew in advance and made arrangements.
Shaqin clenched his fists and clenched his silver teeth, as if his worldview had collapsed a little from the moment he heard his father tell the reason.
Because the mayor, whom she has always trusted and admired, actually watched this town fall.
Xu Jiang saw that Sha Qin was not in the right mood, and patted her on the shoulder to make her relax.
"Don't think too much, if you want the answer, you can go back and ask again. At least in my opinion, the mayor did have an arrangement. ”
"Arrangement? If he arranged, why would he sacrifice tens of thousands of lives? "Shaqin is not the kind of compassionate character.
But if one side is really discovered in advance, the masses should be moved as soon as possible.
That's the lives of tens of thousands of people! It's all buried here.
"If the details are not clear, don't judge them, but at least I'm sure that the faceless conspiracy didn't succeed."
Xu Jiang's statement made Sha Qin stunned.
"You mean [Purple Umbrella]?"
"That's right, when you see that person standing by the hollow and trying hard, it proves that he is not in control of this place."
Madness is a collection of all kinds of negative emotions, but the scene of laughter here is completely inconsistent with the concept of the Faceless.
Combined with the [Purple Umbrella] personally coming here to cause the spread of the Hollow, this place is obviously beyond the control of the Faceless Ones.
Xu Jiang's comfort made Shaqin feel better, but he was still haunted by this terrible disaster.
Regardless of the fact that there is little point in discussing these now, the most important thing is how to get out.
Shaqin: "Xu Jiang, our poison has not been completely cleared, and it is inconvenient to move, if it is too reluctant, give up on us, you must escape." ”
Sandman: "No, you must go with you, I can carry you on my back." ”
Lu Zhongtian: "I'll stay behind it, anyway, the fixed assets under my name are left in a cemetery, and I have to sleep in the cemetery when I go out." ”
Ying Xiaoxiao: "Why are you thinking about it so much?" Fight first, fight the monster, and then think about getting out. ”
Nameless: "We can follow you, we won't be holding back." Don't give up on us. ”
……
A group of people had a very heated discussion, and Xu Jiang directly answered with a blank eye.
You've said so much that you haven't considered my thoughts? I'm not sure I'll get out! Why did you start a discussion about who I should take with me?
"You guys stop for a moment, the situation here is a little weird, the team leader and I will go to explore the road first, and then decide on a way to break through when we come back."
Xu Jiang's suggestion has been recognized by everyone.
After all, the characteristics of the mecha can only be maintained within the range of five meters.
If it is scattered, it will be eroded by illusion, which is too dangerous; It's not good to fight when you get together, so let's try the situation first and then make a decision.
Leaving the sand disciples to protect the wounded, Xu Jiang and Ying Xiaoxiao walked forward side by side.
The clown in charge of the reception did not make any radical moves, just let out a 'giggle' oozing laugh in his mouth and watched them move forward.
……
With stone roads and blue-tiled houses, this is a town with only a few streets.
But in the town, at the moment, there are tens of thousands of people marching, roaming the joyful streets.
Festive ribbons, cheerful singing and dancing, everything is so lively.
It's a pity that these are all disguises under the illusion of [madness], and the real world is in ruins.
The streets are lined with ruins and ruins, and the celebration procession of 10,000 people is just a group of walking corpses pacing forward.
With a forced smile on their faces, each of them marched uncontrollably with the procession, constantly circling the streets of the town.
Ying Xiaoxiao tried to take a few steps to the side, and saw rows of dancers swaying on the gorgeous and luxurious floats;
Returning to Xu Jiang's side, only the huge [Mad Doom] giant beast remained, exuding a dead aura and roaring forward.
"In just those few seconds, I already had a strong sense of joy and felt like I wanted to be part of their team." Ying Xiaoxiao had palpitations.
The horror of illusion lies in your unconscious sinking.
Even if you are prepared, you will slowly be disintegrated in a minute and second, and finally forget your original intention, forget your mission, and sink into this sea of happiness.
Even a strong person like Ying Xiaoxiao will have a sense of sinking, this void is really terrifying, without the support of Xu Jiang's mecha, I am afraid it will be difficult for anyone to get out of this illusion.
Of course, it's not much better now.
The two entered the town, and before they had taken a few steps, they were stopped by the monster.
A balding middle-aged monster uncle, with bloody skin on his face and a lewd smile on his mouth, elegantly wiped his hands under his crotch and sent an invitation to the two.
"Distinguished guests, please join me in the carnival and revelry for the birth of our princess!"
