The village shrouded in darkness began to become dangerous.
Yang Jian wandered around the village. He didn't see anyone or hear any movement along the way. It was very quiet here, there was no noise, and he didn't even hear the screams of people before they died.
But in such a quiet village, an unknown ghost is wandering.
Knowing this, ordinary people would be too scared to walk just standing here for a minute or two.
But Yang Jian acted like a man who was fine. Instead of being afraid, he was very anxious, hoping to find traces of the ghost immediately.
"There's a bright light there."
Suddenly.
After walking around for a while, Yang Jian finally found a rather special place, a house with a light on the door. This house was the only one in the village. The rest of the place was dark and there was no light at all.
.
After getting closer, he discovered that the place where the lights were lit was the ancestral hall in the village.
From a distance, it seemed like someone was standing at the door of the ancestral hall, but due to the light problem, I couldn't see clearly. I could only see a blurry outline moving back and forth under the light, which seemed a little unsteady.
Is there anyone walking around outside at this time?
"Is it a ghost?"
Yang Jian frowned and decided to go over and take a look at the situation.
He stared at the figure lingering at the door of the ancestral hall and quickly approached, intending to end this nightmare in the shortest possible time.
But just as he was halfway there, a nervous voice suddenly appeared from an alley next to him: "Yang, Yang Jian, is that you?"
Um?
Yang Jian suddenly stopped.
He immediately looked in the direction where the sound came from, and his eyes immediately focused.
But in the alley, Jiang Yan was seen slowly walking out with blood on her body, her hair messy, and a look of horror.
"Jiang Yan? Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay in the room and not run out?" Yang Jian subconsciously clenched the weapon in his hand, ready to attack at any time.
In this nightmare, anyone could be a ghost.
After she and Jiang Yan were separated, if they met again, she might be a ghost in disguise.
"I, I was attacked and almost died, and then I ran away from home." Jiang Yan was crying a little. She lowered her head and looked at her lower abdomen, which was still bleeding.
The blood on her body is her own.
"Who attacked you?" Yang Jian asked.
Jiang Yan was still nervous and said: "Yes, it's you, but I know it's definitely not you, it must be a ghost. The ghost found me. As soon as it knocked on the door and called my name, I knew something was wrong, and then I ran away with all my strength.
When I came out, I didn’t know where to run, so I found a place to hide.”
"Do you think I should believe you?" Yang Jian said.
"I'm also very scared, and I don't know if you are really Yang Jian, but I saw you walking towards the ancestral hall. I'm worried about you, so I don't want you to take risks there. There are ghosts over there, and there are many of them. I just saw
Many people died there." Jiang Yan cried as she spoke.
She was holding her lower abdomen, her face was pale, and her wounds were getting worse.
Although she was injured, Jiang Yan did not die immediately, but if the injury continued, it would be difficult for her to survive until tomorrow morning.
Yang Jian hesitated at this time.
He couldn't tell whether the Jiang Yan in front of him was a ghost unless he immediately returned to his hometown to compare.
But doing so will waste time.
"If you can still walk, come with me now. Don't worry about the wounds. Once this nightmare is over, there won't be any wounds. But if the nightmare continues, the ghost will come to kill you, and you won't survive until dawn."
Yang Jian said with a cold face.
Jiang Yan gritted her teeth and nodded.
"Keep your distance from me, try to leave, or get too close, and I will attack you." Yang Jian added.
He doesn't dare to try and make mistakes.
Because if you kill Jiang Yan here, if you kill her by mistake, Jiang Yan will be dead in reality.
"Is it okay not to go to the ancestral hall? It's really dangerous there." Jiang Yan followed behind and said with a bit of fear.
Yang Jian didn't speak, but kept walking forward.
But when he continued to walk forward for a while, his face gradually became serious again, because at this time he probably saw clearly the figure lingering at the door of the ancestral hall. Although he did not see it completely clearly, from his clothes,
Judging from the figure, that person looks very much like... Jiang Yan.
At first he was not sure, but now he is beginning to be sure.
The person standing under the light at the entrance of the ancestral hall just now was Jiang Yan.
But Yang Jian saw Jiang Yan at the door of the ancestral hall, and Jiang Yan also saw him.
"Hey, Yang Jian, this way, come here quickly, the village is no longer safe, we have all hid here." Jiang Yan waved in front of the ancestral hall and urged Yang Jian to come over very quickly.
"Two Jiang Yan?" Yang Jian suddenly looked back.
Jiang Yan behind her looked pale, not sure if it was due to excessive blood loss. She looked at Yang Jian and the man in front of the ancestral hall with a somewhat panicked expression.
And at this moment.
Jiang Yan, who was in front of the ancestral hall, was running over here.
"Did the ghost come for me this time?" Yang Jian looked around, his expression suddenly changed.
This time the ghost's tricks were even more extreme than the first time he had a nightmare. Two identical people actually appeared in one nightmare. This clearly tells you that one of them is a ghost.
But now, who is the ghost?
Is it the injured and bloody Jiang Yan standing behind her, or is it the Jiang Yan who ran over under the light at the entrance of the ancestral hall?
He had just left the village for a while, so there was no way to tell in this situation.
Moreover, ghosts seem to be able to know other people's memories in dreams, so there is no way to flaw in the disguise. The only flaw is that the ghost will find a way to kill itself, but other people in this nightmare will not.
now.
Yang Jian has another option, which is to retreat temporarily.
But this is the worst choice, because once she retreats, the real Jiang Yan will definitely be targeted by the ghost, and she will also miss an opportunity to kill the ghost.
"We must take the first step."
Yang Jian took a deep breath at this moment. He looked left and right again, observed, and finally turned around suddenly and rushed towards Jiang Yan behind him.
The movement was so fast, there was almost no hesitation in starting.
A sharp, rusty steel bar pierced her chest directly.
"Yang Jian, what are you doing..." Jiang Yan, who was covered in blood and pale, opened her eyes in disbelief.
"I'm not sure whether you are a ghost or not. The best option is to kill both of them. If you hesitate, this nightmare will never end."
Yang Jian's face was calm and unmoved, he stared at her, then pulled out the steel bar, then turned around and rushed towards Jiang Yan who was running towards the door of the ancestral hall.
"ah!"
At this moment, Jiang Yan who came up to her was stunned when she saw this scene, and then her face gradually changed.
He became gloomy and stiff, then turned around and began to evacuate.
"Want to leave now? It's too late." Yang Jian had already rushed over. When he turned around and stabbed Jiang Yan, he was ready, and the two of them stayed together.
If it is a ghost, then the ghost will definitely show its flaws.
So as long as we injure but not kill, we can end this nightmare before the real Jiang Yan is seriously injured and dies.
It was precisely because he thought of this that Yang Jian did not hesitate at all.
The person who turned around and left could already be concluded that he was a ghost.
The ghost was leaving quickly. It may have sensed danger, or Yang Jian's approach directly broke its arrangement and made it feel like it had no way to start, so it had to retreat.
It doesn't look like he's walking very fast, but in fact the ghost is already pulling away.
This feeling is very strange.
It's ghosts that are affecting the surroundings. This is the most unfair part of this nightmare. It almost feels like a cheat has been activated.
The ghost is leaving and heading into the ancestral hall.
Yang Jian chased after him, seemingly almost able to catch the ghost, but the small distance kept being widened.
"boom!"
The door was knocked open and the ghost ran into the ancestral hall.
Yang Jian also entered the ancestral hall.
But at this moment, he lost sight of the ghost, just for a second or two, because his sight was blocked by half of the door.
Later.
Yang Jian's face darkened.
There were quite a few people in the ancestral hall, at least twenty or thirty people gathered together, all of whom were villagers from the village.
The figure of Jiang Yan can no longer be found.
The ghost successfully blended into the crowd again.
"You're just looking for death. Do you really think it'll be okay if you blend in with the crowd?" Yang Jian stared at the crowd. He closed the door behind him and locked it.
Unless this ghost is killed, no one will be able to leave here today.
