Fog, deep fog was rippling around, and it seemed that only Gu Cheng was left in the world.
There seemed to be a pair of eyes peering at him in the dark night, making no sound, but the feeling seemed to swallow him whole.
Fear strikes from the bottom of my heart. It is an instinct that cannot be suppressed, a fear inherent in human nature:
Afraid of the dark.
Gu Cheng was also afraid.
But the way for practitioners to deal with fear is not to scream and escape, but to smash that fear!
The Blood Abyss Sword had been held by Gu Cheng in his hand at some point. As the sword was slashed out, the equally dark Yin Candle Fire tore through the foggy night in front of him!
next moment
Gu Cheng suddenly sat up, his right hand still holding the Blood Abyss Sword tightly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Glancing at the long sword in his hand, Gu Cheng's eyes showed a look of contemplation.
Ever since he left the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, Gu Cheng has always had a habit of carrying his sword with him even when sleeping.
He had just fallen into a nightmare, which was very abnormal.
After entering the internal training, Gu Cheng's internal organs have become extremely tough after being polished by Qi Jin, and his meridians and muscles have also been tempered to be very solid. This proves that Gu Cheng's control over his body is already very good, so even if
When he was sleeping, he should have fallen into a deep sleep instead of having such nightmares.
This has not happened for a long time.
Even if he and Zhou Jianxing drank some wine before going to bed at night, the wine would not plunge Gu Cheng into a nightmare.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. The scenes in the nightmare seemed to remind Gu Cheng of something, reminding him of what he had forgotten.
After getting up, Gu Cheng poured a cup of herbal tea and drank it in one gulp. The cold feeling suddenly filled Gu Cheng's body, and at the same time, he finally remembered what he had forgotten.
To be precise, it wasn't forgetfulness, but Gu Cheng had always felt awkward since entering Sujia Town, but he couldn't pinpoint the specific awkwardness.
It wasn't until the pair of eyes in the nightmare reminded him why he felt awkward.
Because he suddenly discovered that all the people in Sujia Town had exactly the same eyes!
Each of them has a different appearance, but ignoring the appearance of those people and recalling their eyes in my mind, they all have the same eyes, as if they were drawn from the same mold.
Everyone in Sujia Town has problems!
And thinking about it at this time, there was also a problem with him finding the monster. The problem was that it went so smoothly that even Gu Cheng felt strange.
Gu Cheng is a relatively careful person, so before coming here, he had already thought of several ways to find out about Su Zhenxing.
In the end, none of those methods were used. I just checked the family tree and found the other party's loophole.
Everything went so smoothly. We found loopholes and clues, finally found the monster, and everyone worked together to kill it.
But now that I think about it, the monster's strength is a bit too weak.
The opponent did not show any strange power, but the corrosiveness of the black pus was a bit annoying. Even if they were one-on-one, Gu Cheng and Zhou Xingjian could kill it with just a little effort.
How could such a monster control the minds of more than a thousand or more than 3,000 people, forcibly modify their memories, and make them forget about Su Zhenxing?
If that monster is good at mental abilities, why don't they use it when fighting them?
When I thought about what happened during the day in detail, there were so many questions and things I couldn't figure out.
Gu Cheng took his sword and pushed open the door, but his steps suddenly stopped.
wrong.
It's too cold and too quiet.
It is midsummer at this time, and the weather is not too cold even at night.
But the entire Sujia Town was shrouded in a cold atmosphere.
And there was silence all around, not even the sound of insects humming, and no one was lighting a lantern. The entire Sujia Town was shrouded in darkness and silence.
Gu Cheng pushed open the door of Zhou Jianxing, Xiao Yi and others' room and woke them up.
Zhou Jianxing's originally small eyes were now almost slits because he had just been awakened from his sleep.
"Brother Gu, do you know that it is very impolite to disturb someone's dream?"
"Chunmeng will do it later, something is wrong."
"I didn't have an erotic dream!"
Ignoring Zhou Jianxing's excuse, Gu Cheng told everyone everything he noticed was wrong.
After listening, Zhou Jianxing said doubtfully: "But these are all your guesses, Brother Gu, and there is no direct evidence."
Now Zhou Jianxing is somewhat doubtful that Gu Cheng is suffering from delusions of being persecuted. Is the outcome of things going smoothly or not going well? Is this considered a point of doubt?
Is it that Yasushi’s gang spent too much time dealing with ghosts, so they all became a little nervous?
"If there is any evidence, those monsters may have already 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: "Since you said that everyone in Sujia Town has problems, then we ate so much at night, shouldn't we also have problems?"
He ate the most of the roasted whole lambs in the evening, and he ate half of one lamb.
Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "No, if they dared to tamper with the food, we would have noticed it long ago."
Whether it was Xiao Yi, a Qi practitioner who had reached the eighth level, or Gu Cheng himself, who had a hidden agenda, he was able to avoid such a low-level conspiracy.
Zhou Jianxing said: "Then what should we do now?"
Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "You also said that I was just guessing. If that's the case, let's go look for evidence first."
"How to find it?"
"Find a random person and give him a knife. If blood bleeds, it means we guessed wrong. If black pus bleeds, then I don't need to say the result."
Zhou Jianxing shuddered subconsciously, but he had to admit that although Gu Cheng's method seemed a bit cruel, it was the most effective.
A group of people left the house and sneaked directly into other houses, but when they carefully opened the door, they found that there was no one in the house.
Looking at each other, everyone quickly went to other rooms, but they were all empty.
Is it possible that the monster can still hide at night?
Several people walked around Sujia Town until they reached the ancestral hall in the center, when they heard some noises.
He carefully leaned on the wall of the ancestral hall, and what he saw was a dense crowd. Almost the entire people of Sujia Town were gathered here.
However, compared with the daytime, all the people in Sujia Town had dull and gloomy faces, as if they were carved from the same mold.
At this moment, several Su family members came in carrying a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man struggled with all his strength, but his limbs and mouth were covered in black pus.
Putting him in the center of the ancestral hall, everyone in the Su family scratched their flesh, and drops of black pus flowed out.
As if these black puss were alive, they gathered together on their own initiative and completely enveloped the middle-aged man.
The next moment, black pus was peeled off from his body, and at the same time, the layer of lifelike human skin was peeled off!
The black pus that transformed into a human form covered the human skin, as if wearing a layer of clothes. It fit perfectly, but his face was still dull and gloomy.
At this time, there was only a humanoid object on the ground that was covered in blood and flesh and was still twitching, but it was not completely dead yet.
At this time, the monsters lifted the skinned man and placed him on a stone tablet.
Gu Cheng did not see the stone tablet during the day, but at this time, there was an astonishing cold evil energy blooming in the stone tablet. It was caused by the fact that the temperature in the entire Sujia Town was so low.
A group of people held his limbs and head and twisted it repeatedly, like twisting a twist.
As the body twisted, a large amount of blood spurted out, fell into the stone tablet, and was completely absorbed by it.
Seeing these things, Gu Cheng and others immediately retreated quietly and let out a sigh of relief.
Got it, everything is understood.
Zhou Jianxing's complexion even turned a little pale. From the moment Su Zhenxing died, he had been dealing with these ghosts. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart.
"What the hell are these? What are they doing?"
Gu Cheng shook his head and said: "I don't know, they are neither demons nor ghosts. Even now that they have revealed their true bodies, they can't feel the ghost energy.
And judging from their appearance, they should be on the stone tablet for blood sacrifice. The entire Sujia Town was about to be sacrificed to blood by them.
Even if there are any living people, they should have all been hidden by them, there are not many left."
At this moment, a child of about five or six years old stood not far from everyone, wrapping his fingers and staring at them.
Gu Cheng narrowed 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 is still a child!"
However, the sword in Gu Cheng's hand did not pause for even a moment. With sharp energy, he cut the child into two pieces, and the smelly pus immediately flowed all over the ground.
Gu Cheng turned around and said calmly: "Brother Zhou, don't be stupid, how can there be any children in this place? The monsters are just the same.
And now, it seems that our trouble has come."
As he said that, Gu Cheng pointed casually, and the door of the ancestral hall had opened at some point. Countless Su family members with blank expressions were staring at them with the same dead eyes.
