Xu Cheng felt that after running for a long time, his physical strength was on the verge of limit, but to his despair, the thin thread on his little finger still exuded a faint silvery white luster.

The round moon hanging in the sky has been eaten away even more, and the curved corners are sharply curved, looking like a sickle.

Except for a little moonlight illumination, everything else is dark, and the darkness surges as far as the eye can see, as if there are countless monsters hiding inside waiting for an opportunity to move.

Extreme exhaustion forced Xu Cheng to gradually slow down his pace. He arched his body, propped his hands on his knees, and kept panting.The sweat on the back was blown dry by the wind, and the heat was also taken away by the way. Now when I stopped, I couldn't help shivering.

The voice calling him behind him didn't stop, it just changed from Ye Changsheng's clear and youthful voice to a sharp and cold strange voice.

"Officer Xu, why are you running? Hee hee...why don't you look back at me..."

The voice was getting closer and closer, so close that Xu Cheng suddenly seemed to feel something sticky crawling up his back little by little.The cold breath blew in his ears, his pupils constricted, and his body suddenly stiffened.

He desperately resisted his desire to turn back, looked ahead, saw a tree not far away, sprinted over a few steps, and then slammed his back against the tree trunk past.

Xu Cheng's impact was so powerful that even he himself felt that his internal organs had been displaced by the impact.The thing behind him naturally also received a lot of impact, he screamed and rolled down from Xu Cheng's back.

He rolled on the ground, then raised a pair of vertical pupils glowing with gloom, obviously irritated by Xu Cheng's performance.

Xu Cheng looked at the monster who was about the size of a seven or eight-year-old child opposite him, but showed a fierce look, and felt a deep sense of despair in his heart.The monster's skin was cracked like the little girl he met before, and the mucus flowing from the crack exuded a suffocating stench.

Xu Cheng subconsciously wanted to continue running, but his physical strength could not keep up at the moment, he barely trotted for a while, and felt a strong sense of hypoxia surge up, making his chest hurt like it was about to explode.

"Sacrifice...hehe...this is mine..."

The monster in front of him crawled towards Xu Cheng in a strange posture. Its face was only the size of a palm, but its mouth with shark-like fangs occupied almost half of its entire face.

Xu Cheng stretched out his hands to support the tree stump and reluctantly moved a certain distance, and finally half-knelt down due to exhaustion.Looking at the gaping bloody mouth, my mind went blank, only a deep sense of powerlessness and despair surged up continuously.

And just as the monster was about to jump on him, suddenly a fireball flew over from behind the monster.

The monster caught a glimpse of the fireball out of the corner of his eye, but a trace of fear flashed across his face that was no longer human-like. He kicked on the tree and quickly rolled to the other side, but the corner of his clothes was still covered by the The edge of the fireball was singed.

It was just a trace of sparks, but suddenly a cluster of flames sprang up in an instant, and after the flames licked the mucus on the monster's skin, they burned more and more vigorously as if they had been fueled with gasoline. The whole body was wrapped in flames.

The screams were shrill and sharp, making people feel horrible when they heard them.Xu Cheng sat on the ground staring blankly at the monster that had been swallowed by the fire, and seemed unable to react for a long time.

From the darkness, two familiar figures slowly came out.Among them, a boy who was slightly shorter, with a Monkey King mask on his forehead, walked up to Xu Cheng in a few steps, bowed his body and waved his hand in front of his eyes, and said briskly, "Officer Xu, are you okay?"

Xu Cheng's eyeballs rolled slightly, and he looked at Ye Changsheng again, wondering if it was because he had gone through too many things just now, the expression on his face could not help but become a bit complicated and defensive: "You are... Ye Changsheng Celestial Master?"

Ye Changsheng looked at him, then got up and muttered to He Jiuzhong beside him: "It's over, it's over, we two are late, right? He looks a little silly now."

He Jiuzhong reached out and pinched Ye Changsheng's earlobe: "Well, can it be saved?"

Ye Changsheng thought for a while, then glanced at Xu Cheng again, sighed and said with a sad face: "He hasn't paid yet."

Xu Cheng sat on the ground and watched the two people at the other end sing together, then glanced at the thin line on the little finger that had turned pale gold again, and finally confirmed that it was the real Ye Changsheng and He Jiuzhong in front of him, heaved a heavy sigh of relief, and held on. He propped himself up on the ground and stood still, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Tianshi Ye, Mr. He."

Hearing his voice, Ye Changsheng turned his head sideways, looked him up and down, and a subtle smile appeared on his face: "It seems that Officer Xu has gained an unforgettable experience during the time he was separated from us. experience."

Xu Cheng naturally heard a trace of accusation in that sentence, lowered his head with a wry smile, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I, I lost my head for some reason..."

Seeing him like this, Ye Changsheng felt a little headache.

It was obvious that Xu Cheng had been tormented a lot by looking like this, and he felt miserable just looking at it.And after all, Xu Chi's face was borrowed on that end, and even experts like them couldn't see it at first, so how could Xu Cheng suddenly believe that there was a monster there?

"Okay, let's say the apology after we go out, time is running out." Ye Changsheng shook his hand at him, "Do you have any idea where your brother is now?"

When Xu Cheng heard the question from the other end, he nodded quickly and said, "I saw it before, it was in the bamboo building where I woke up before!" As he spoke, he paused for a while, and recalled what Xu Chi had said to him. There was some uneasiness in his voice, "But I saw that he was surrounded by black vines, and told me he couldn't go back..."

Ye Changsheng frowned when he heard what he said, and he already had a guess in his heart, but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he said in a deep voice, "Take us to see it first."

Xu Cheng nodded, closed his eyes again to feel Xu Chi's position, then opened his eyes, and turned in one direction: "It's this way!"

Ye Changsheng nodded in response and said, "Let's lead the way." After saying that, He Jiuzhong and He immediately followed him.

There was only a thin line left of the moon in the sky, the sky was completely dark, and even the stars were gone.The pedestrians on the street who were originally clad in human skin have now revealed their original appearance one by one.

They all looked up at the moon that seemed to have almost disappeared, and the gloomy vertical pupils shone with a chilling madness.

Ye Changsheng took out another mask and put it on Xu Cheng, then pasted a talisman on him, and said in a low voice: "Their carnival night is about to begin, hurry up and find your brother, don't delay any longer. If it is not necessary, Just don't talk, understand?"

Xu Cheng nodded quickly, and then led the two of them across the street.

The night wind blew, and the air was filled with a strange, rancid smell. The surrounding dream-like scenery slowly melted away like snow under the erosion of the mucus on the monsters, revealing its true nature. appearance.

But Xu Cheng can't take care of these anymore.He carefully recalled the nearby terrain, led Ye Changsheng and He Jiuzhong to avoid the group of monsters on the road as much as possible and marched towards the destination. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally found the bamboo building according to his memory. .

Different from the delicate and elegant appearance when I came here, the building in front of me seems to have been put aside for a long time, simple and dilapidated, revealing a strong smell of decay everywhere.

Xu Cheng directly kicked open the door and rushed into the house.

The walls and ground of the house are full of potholes and unknown houses. The bamboo on the roof has been corroded by wind and rain, and it hangs precariously on it, exposing a small piece of sky.

The moon in the sky had all disappeared, and then, a blood moon slowly reappeared.

The cheers outside were deafening, screams and laughter intertwined, even if you don't have to think about it, you can understand what is going on.

——The carnival night has begun.

Xu Cheng's heart was all constricted together because of nervousness, his body moved as if he was rushing to find someone in the building.But before he could move, his clothes were suddenly grabbed by Ye Changsheng behind him.

"Tianshi Ye, what's wrong?" Xu Cheng turned his head and looked in Ye Changsheng's direction, only to see that the smile that had been hanging on his face all year round had disappeared, his brows were slightly frowned, and there seemed to be something in his black eyes. What is swimming, there are circles of ripples in the pupils of the eyes, making the eyes look a bit strange.

"The atmosphere here seems to be a bit different from other places." Ye Changsheng lowered his voice, "Stay with us, don't act out of line."

Xu Cheng was originally worried because of what Xu Chi said before, but now he heard Ye Changsheng's advice, and the anxiety in his heart was getting bigger and bigger. His eyes scanned the dilapidated bamboo building After walking around, gritted his teeth and nodded, "I see."

Ye Changsheng nodded, looked at each other with He Jiuzhong again, exhaled foul breath, and pasted a few pieces of talisman papers on several places in front of the door, then glanced at the stairs half hidden in the darkness and said: "First Go upstairs and look for it."
