Chapter 54: Nightmare
The mist, the deep fog rippled around, and the world seemed to be the only one left in Gu Cheng.
In the dark night, there seemed to be a pair of eyes peeping at him, silent, but the feeling seemed to swallow him whole.
Fear comes from the bottom of my heart, an irrepressible instinct, a fear that human beings carry from their nature:
Fear of the dark.
Gu Cheng was also afraid.
But the practitioner's way of dealing with fear is not to scream and run away, but to shatter that fear!
The Blood Abyss Sword didn't know when it had been held in Gu Cheng's hand, and as the sword slashed out, the same faint Yin Candle Flame tore through the misty night in front of him!
The next moment
Gu Cheng sat up suddenly, his right hand was still tightly holding the Blood Abyss Sword, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
Glancing at the long sword in his hand, Gu Cheng's eyes showed a look of contemplation.
Since leaving the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, Gu Cheng has always had a habit of carrying his sword even when he sleeps.
He was in a nightmare, which was not normal.
After stepping into the internal training, Gu Cheng's internal organs have become extremely tough after being polished by energy, and the meridians and muscles have also been tempered very solidly, which proves that Gu Cheng's control over his own body is already very good, so even when he is sleeping, he should fall into a deep sleep, instead of having this kind of nightmare.
This has not happened in a long time.
Even if he drank some wine with Zhou Jianxing at night before going to bed, that little wine would not make Gu Cheng fall into a nightmare.
There must be a demon when things go wrong, and the scenes in the nightmare seem to remind Gu Cheng of something, remind him of what he has forgotten.
Turning over and getting up, Gu Cheng poured a cup of herbal tea, drank it all in one gulp, and the cold feeling suddenly made Gu Cheng feel transparent, and at the same time, he finally remembered what he had forgotten.
To be precise, it is not forgetting, but since he entered Sujia Town, Gu Cheng has always felt very awkward, but he can't say where it is awkward.
It wasn't until Fang Cai's nightmare eyes reminded him why he felt awkward.
Because he suddenly found that all the people in Sujia Town, their eyes were exactly the same!
Each of them had different appearances, but ignoring the faces of those people, and recalling their eyes in my mind, all of them had the same eyes, as if they had been drawn in a mold.
The people in the entire Sujia Town all have problems!
And thinking about it at this time, it was also very problematic for him to find out that monster, the problem was that it was so smooth that Gu Cheng felt strange.
Gu Cheng was a relatively careful person, so before he came, he had already thought of several ways to investigate Su Zhenxing's matter.
As a result, those methods didn't work, and I just checked the family tree, and I found the other party's loopholes.
It all went too well, finding the loophole clues, and finally finding the monster, and everyone working together to kill it.
But now that I think about it, the monster's strength is a little too weak.
The other party didn't show any strange power, but the corrosiveness of the black pus was a little annoying, even if it was one-on-one, Gu Cheng and Zhou Xingjian could kill it as long as they wasted some effort.
How could such a monster manipulate the minds of more than a thousand mouths and more than 3,000 people, forcibly modify their memories, and make them forget Su Zhenxing?
If that monster is good at mental abilities, why don't you use it when fighting them?
When I thought about the events of the day in detail, there were too many problems and things I couldn't figure out.
Gu Cheng directly took the sword and pushed open the door, but his footsteps suddenly stopped.
Wrong.
It's too cold, it's too quiet.
It's the height of summer, and even the night isn't too cold.
But the entire Sujia Town was shrouded in a gloomy and cold atmosphere.
And there was silence all around, not even the sound of insects moaning, and no one lit a lantern, and the entire Sujia Town was shrouded in darkness and silence.
Gu Cheng pushed open the door of Zhou Jianxing, Xiao Yi and the others, and woke them all up.
Zhou Jianxing's originally small eyes were almost slit at this time because he had just been awakened from his sleep.
"I said, Brother Gu, do you know that it is very rude to disturb people's dreams?"
"Chunmeng will do it later, something is wrong. ”
"I didn't have spring dreams!"
Ignoring Zhou Jianxing's defense, Gu Cheng told everyone everything he noticed was wrong.
After listening to this, Zhou Jianxing was puzzled: "But these are all your guesses, Brother Gu, and there is no direct evidence." ”
Now Zhou Jianxing is a little skeptical that Gu Cheng has persecution paranoia, and the smooth ending of things is not good, this is all suspicious?
Could it be that these guys from the Yasuya Division have spent too much time dealing with ghosts, so they have become a little nervous?
"If there is any evidence, those monsters must have ridden in our faces. ”
Seeing Gu Cheng's current appearance, Zhou Jianxing also knew that the other party was not joking.
He suddenly thought of something, and his face turned pale violently: "Since you said that the people in the entire Sujia Town have problems, then we ate so many things at night, shouldn't there be problems?"
In the evening, he ate the most roasted whole sheep, and he ate half of the sheep.
Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "No, if they dared to do anything in the food, we would have noticed it a long time ago." ”
Whether it is Xiao Yi, a qi refiner who has reached the eighth grade, or Gu Cheng himself, who has a ghost in his heart, he can avoid this kind of low-level plot.
Zhou Jianxing said: "Then what now?"
Gu Cheng squinted his eyes and said, "You also said it, I just guessed, since this is the case, then let's go and find evidence first." ”
"How?"
"Find a random person and give him a knife, if it is blood, it means that we guessed wrong, if it is black pus, then the result does not need to be said. ”
Zhou Jianxing shook subconsciously, but he also had to admit that although Gu Cheng's method seemed to be a little murderous, it was the most effective.
The group left the house and sneaked straight into the other rooms, but when they cautiously pushed the door open, they found that the house was empty.
After glancing at each other, everyone hurriedly went to the other rooms, but they were all empty.
Could it be that the monster is still hiding at night?
A few people spared around Sujia Town, and it wasn't until they walked to the ancestral hall in the center that they heard some noises.
Lying cautiously on the wall of the ancestral hall, what greeted him was a dense crowd of people, and almost the entire Sujia Town was concentrated here.
However, compared to the daytime, all the people in Sujia Town had a blank face, extremely gloomy, as if carved out of a mold.
At this moment, several Su family members came in carrying a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man struggled to the fullest, but his limbs and mouth were covered in black pus.
Placing him in the center of the ancestral hall, all the Su family members cut through their flesh, and drops of black pus flowed out.
These black pus seemed to be active, and they gathered together on their own, completely enveloping the middle-aged man.
The next moment, black pus peeled off from his body, and at the same time, the layer of lifelike human skin was peeled off!
The black pus that turned into a human form covered the person's body, as if he was wearing a layer of clothing, and it fit incomparably, but his face was still dull and gloomy.
At this time, there was only a bloody humanoid object on the ground that was still twitching, and it was not even dead.
At this time, the monsters lifted the skinned man and placed it on a stone tablet.
During the day, Gu Cheng didn't see the stele, but at this time, there was an astonishing cold aura blooming in the stele, and the temperature in the entire Sujia Town was so low, it was caused by it.
A group of people held his limbs and skull, twisting it repeatedly, like twisting a twist.
As the body writhed, a large stream of blood gushed out and fell into the stone tablet, where it was completely absorbed.
Seeing these things, Gu Cheng and the others immediately retreated silently, and at the same time let out a sigh of relief.
Understood, everything understood.
Zhou Jianxing's face was even a little pale, from the moment Su Zhenxing died, he had been dealing with this group of ghosts, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"What the hell are these things and what are they doing?"
Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's not a demon or a ghost, even if they reveal their true body now, they can't feel the ghost qi."
And looking at their appearance, they should be in the blood sacrifice of the stone tablet, and the entire Sujia Town is about to be given a blood sacrifice by them.
Even if there are living people, they should all be hidden by them, and there are few left. ”
At this moment, a child about five or six years old stood not far from the crowd, wrapped his fingers and staring at them.
Gu Cheng squinted his eyes, and without saying a word, the long sword in his hand suddenly slashed out!
Zhou Jianxing shouted behind him, "Hey, hey, hey, are you crazy? He's still a child!"
But the sword momentum in Gu Cheng's hand did not pause for half a minute, and with sharp energy, he directly cut the child in two, and the fishy pus suddenly flowed all over the ground.
Gu Cheng turned around and said lightly: "Brother Zhou, don't be stupid, where else will there be any children in this place?
And now, it looks like we're in trouble. ”
As he spoke, Gu Cheng pointed casually, and the door of the ancestral hall had opened at some point, and countless Su family members with blank faces were staring at them with the same dead eyes.
