Chapter 49… Ghost Story

While thinking about it, they saw the driverless sightseeing bus suddenly turn sharply and plunge into a lake.

 

The lake water rushed over the vehicle’s body, and through the transparent windows one could even see into the gloomy lake water. Swollen and festered faces were tightly pressed against the window glass, peeking into the car.

 

This lake is full of water ghosts!

 

If ordinary people encounter such a situation, they will be scared to death on the spot.

 

But unfortunately, the novelists in the vehicle are all experienced masters.

 

Faced with the water ghosts, everyone didn’t react much, but quickly took out the black books, chose various skills that can be used in the water and then began to break the windows.

 

Shen Yu also carried the props chainsaw in his hand, sawing through the bus frame very quickly, facing the swarming lake and water ghosts, and silently said: “Keep away from my ship!”

 

[Use Skill: Breath]

 

[Knowing that you are a land duck, the water ghosts gloated and gave you a thumbs up!]

 

[Skills use; as long as you say the phrase “keep away from my ship”, you can forcibly obtain the right to breathe for three minutes, whether in water, poisonous gas, or even in space, you can avoid the trouble of suffocation.]

 

[Ps: The water ghost asked me to bring you a sentence: “Get away! Stay away from my boat, don’t come again!”]

 

Shen Yu, who has never been able to swim, suddenly felt like his skin had learned to breathe. Like a fish entering the water, moving quickly in the lake, avoiding the ubiquitous water ghosts. The chainsaw in his hand was swung, cutting open the body of the water ghost who was intent on attacking.

 

Other novelists are also using different methods to attack the water ghosts.

 

The water ghosts did not bleed, and soon some rotting flesh pieces floated to the surface of the water.

 

Suddenly, a novelist convulsed, as if drowning.

 

He opened his eyes wide in astonishment and kept pressing his palm on the black book, but he couldn’t activate any of his skills.

 

Right then, a water ghost lurked behind him, opening a sharp-toothed mouth towards his neck…

 

The turbid blood belonging to humans soon dyed the lake red.

 

At this time, many novelists also discovered this fatal problem.

 

The skills in their books suddenly became ineffective!

 

The crowd was so shocked that they didn’t care about killing the water ghosts and hurriedly swam to the shore of the lake.

 

The chainsaw in Shen Yu’s hands also lost its effect, but fortunately the skill [breath] was still there. With this fading skill, he avoided the water ghost next to him at the last moment and swam to the shore in one breath.

 

On the shore, most of the novelists succeeded in escaping with their own excellent qualities, but there were also a few who’d failed to escape and their bodies were floating on the lake.

 

But what was surprising is that these water ghosts did not eat the victim’s corpses, instead picking up the corpses as if they were a delivery order and throwing them to the center of the lake.

 

In the center of the lake, a gray deity stood tall.

 

This statue is carved from rock in rough lines. What is carved is a three parts dragon and seven parts snake-like thing. It has scales and claws, but no dragon horns. A pair of eyes are inlaid with rubies and looks high. Twenty-nine altars were placed in front of the god at his feet.

 

Goodnight, who had just disappeared, was kneeling before the statue at this time, and his eyes were full of enthusiasm.

 

Upon seeing this, Yue Ze suddenly realized and shouted: “Be careful! The Black Dragon Society is preparing the final sacrifice for the invasion of the death world. Because of the interference of the death world’s consciousness, the consciousness of the living world is blocked, and the skills in our books are gradually weakened.”

 

Everyone’s faces changed as soon as the words came out.

 

Without the skills and props in the book, in this dangerous world, what is the difference between these novelists and a toothless, declawed tiger?

 

At this time, the water ghost pushed the bodies of several dead novelists onto different altars.

 

The altars lighted up slightly, and the flesh and blood of the corpses was quickly digested. A gap was gradually cracked above the head of the god, and a huge head could be vaguely seen, exactly the same as the statue, except that the body was like a black mist, very illusory.

 

Inside and outside the screen, everyone looked at everything in front of them dumbfounded.

 

Goodnight suddenly became more ecstatic and enthusiastic, as if he had been blessed by a mysterious power. The joints of the body were raised and the appearance of the whole person became a little different from that of a mortal. On the originally pretty face, black bone spurs were born.

 

“My god! I feel your power, are you happy?”

 

He seemed to gradually lose his mind, yelling frantically: “After you have eaten the flesh and blood of twenty-nine sacrifices, the gap will be completely cracked open, I have prepared a container for you, and then you can descend into that small and humble real world!” As soon as the voice fell, his right hand was raised, and a bone spur in his palm stretched out suddenly, reaching over the lake surface and suddenly plunged into the heart of a novelist on the shore.

 

The hapless novelist didn’t even have a chance to scream as he was dragged onto the altar by the bone spurs, and instantly all his flesh and blood were sucked up, leaving only a few remaining bones.

 

With another sacrifice, the crack in the sky became bigger, and Goodnight’s body became more distorted like that of a monster, even more powerful.

 

Yue Ze’s expression changed and he yelled: “That is the image projection of the consciousness of the world of death. He is in urgent need of living people as sacrifices, immediately leave from here!” The remaining people awoke like from a dream, their faces changing suddenly, and turned to flee in the opposite direction of the lake.

 

Goodnight smiled, his crazy eyes full of humor, like a cat hunting a mouse, and followed everyone behind unhurriedly.

 

After all, they are novelists who have experienced many battles and they still have the consciousness to escape. There was no discussion and they scattered silently, hiding in the small town in different directions.

 

This is indeed the small town of Lies where Shen Yu and others have visited before. It has a lake to the east and a cemetery to the west. There is a church and the residences of the citizens of the town in the middle.

 

It’s just that in the previous story, except for the villain of the story, Shen Yu had seen no one else in the small town.

 

At this time, the town of Lies seemed to be suddenly full of life. Residents walked out from behind the closed doors, flooding the town like spiders guarding their traps.

 

One of the novelists who’d fled around carefully avoided the bustling craziness of the night, using his skills to barely stay invisible and hid in a corner.

 

He suddenly heard a crisp laughter; looking up he saw a young girl lying on the tall wall, showing her small head and eyes like water apricots, watching him.

 

The girl continued to laugh and gestured with her eyes to the novelist to hide on her house. Not far away, the figure of Goodnight was getting closer and closer.

 

The novelist hesitated again and again, in order to avoid the chase outside; in the end he viciously gritted his teeth and with a show of strength powered himself up on top of the wall.

 

As soon as he landed, he found that the girl, who had just urged him to come up, was still lying on the wall, not moving at all.

 

Because it was not a girl at all, but a tall scarecrow instead, wearing a bloody old coat; only the decayed head of a girl had been exposed over the wall’s side.

 

Seeing him crouching on her own wall, the girl’s laughter became more crisp. The head turned around, the flesh on her face progressively rotten, and her eyes stared at the self-inflicted novelist.

 

“I can’t beat the crazy monster outside, but can’t I stop you, little villain?” The novelist forced his face to look composed and pressed his hand on the black book, ready to fight to the death.

 

But at the next moment, the expression on his face turned to one of sorrow.

 

It was at this time that his skills temporarily failed…

 

Three minutes later, on the scarecrow, instead of the now missing girl’s head, the novelist’s head had been stuck on it, lying on the wall as usual, its pair of eyes filled with dark malice.

 

And the flesh and blood of his body was collected by Goodnight, all taken to the altars as a sacrifice.

 

The other novelists were not more fortunate in the small town of Lies.

 

Because this is the land of the God of the Black Dragon Society in this world of death, this is a small town where there are no living people, and it is strange and dangerous everywhere.

 

A hoarse old woman stood in her hotel to greet the guests. Behind her, a group of red-eyed rats, hidden in the hotel, rustled, waiting to come out and devour the bones and brains of the guests.

 

A skinny child opened a pair of pure and innocent eyes, waving his hand at them for sweets, his other hand hidden behind him, quietly holding a sharp and long knife.

 

A patrolling husband with long legs and a long neck, wobbling like cooked noodles when he walks. He smiles at his target from outside the window on the third floor, his neck weaving like a snake, holding a swollen head and squeezing into the room. …

 

There are even a few foreign novelists who are devout believers in God. When hiding in the small town of Lies, they saw a cross church in the small town and hid inside it, with the intention of gaining the protection of God in times of despair.

 

As soon as they entered the church, they were horrified to find that the entire dome of the church was made of human spines.

 

And the pastor, who was praying with his back to them, turned around with a smile and looked at them, revealing the black dragon logo embroidered on his clothes…

 

But for a long time, the skills in the book were still not available. Under such circumstances, more than half of the novelists have already been lost in the small town of Lies, and the flesh and blood, that had been nourished and taken care of for a lifetime, were being taken away by Goodnight and made as a sacrifice in front of the altars.

 

The crack in the sky had been torn bigger by this time, and a corner of the black snake’s huge body could be vaguely glimpsed.

 

On the westernmost side of the town of Lies, in the small house next to the cemetery, there is a strong and hidden basement.

 

The four people including Shen Yu were hiding in it, temporarily taking refuge.

 

“The residents in this small town are all monsters, and we can’t find anyone to communicate with.”

 

Zhang Cuihua was bandaging a wound on her body, and asked: “Head, how do you know that there are no monsters in this building? Was it safe to enter?”

 

Yue Ze looked tired, and pressed on his eyebrows with one hand: “We visited this place in a previous story. The owner of this house was the villain in that story and has been killed by us, so this place is safe for the time being.” For the time being!

 

All four of them knew in their hearts that it wouldn’t be long before Goodnight would find this place.

 

And as more and more of the novelists died, the more powerful the god, enshrined by flesh and blood, became and the greater the gap between the different worlds could be torn wider.

 

However, they were in a bad position, and now facing the Black Dragon Society, they are completely in a passive situation.

 

“The Black Dragon Society first attacked me, what on earth did they want to do?” Shen Yu suddenly asked in the silence.

 

Until now, his voice is still calm: “The forces of the Black Dragon Society, they can find countless sacrifices… but they have been chasing after me all the time.”

 

“In their eyes, what is the difference between me and other sacrifices? What’s the difference, must I die at a specific time and in a specific way?”

 

Even in the darkness, Yue Ze could feel Shen Yu’s firm eyes, looking at him with integrity.

 

After a long silence, he sighed imperceptibly: “The black dragon will want not only sacrifices, but also a container.”

 

“A perfect container that allows the consciousness of another world to infuse into it can become the real thing in their words — God.”

 

“This container cannot be simply searched for. It needs to be a child born by two special people who are married within a certain period of time. The child born by them and then dying by drowning is the best container of choice.”

 

“The selected container has three chances of death… You escaped by chance when you were three years old. In the recent story, you were shot down by Goodnight and fell into the sea, and yet still survived… Now is the last chance. The whole Black Dragon Society has been planning for a long time.”

 

After hearing this, Shen Yu was silent for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly: “It seems that they are bound to win this time.”

 

“No.”

 

Yue Ze suddenly leaned forward and grasped Shen Yu’s hand, then whispered: “You won’t die.”

 

“I will never allow this to happen!”

 

Starscream looked at their two clenched hands in the vaguely blurred light, widening her eyes slightly for a while, then her expression turned thoughtful.

 

“Do you remember what I said before, about Goodnight? I have been fighting with the Black Dragon Society for at least a hundred years.”

 

In the darkness, he glanced at Shen Yu, touching Shen Yu’s cheeks and his calm voice was full of comforting power: “Didn’t you always want to know my true identity? How long have I lived? How long will the black dragon exist?” “The Will of the World has always favored me.”

 

Shen Yu was startled, then suddenly understood what Yue Ze meant, and his face turned white.

 

Since the world of death, which is dying, can choose an envoy to walk on its behalf, so can the consciousness of this world.

 

As for the person selected by this world consciousness, his lifelong mission is naturally the purpose of defeating the aggression of the world of death.

 

In the process of fighting aggression, there will be sacrifices!

 

Suddenly, a small cluster of flames lit up the darkness of the basement.

 

Everyone followed the bright light and saw that the black book in Yue Ze’s hand was burning.

 

“Head! Are you crazy?” Zhang Cuihua suddenly rushed on anxiously.

 

Yue Ze waved his hand to stop his old subordinate and said lightly: “A long time ago, the will of this world told me that when the book is ignited, the power of this world will fill my body. That will be the end of all chaos.”

 

“World’s Consciousness predicted that when the book burns and evil falls into the cracks, the cracks will be repaired and these horrible stories will dissipate. No more innocent people will be involved in the horrors and die.”

 

But the world’s Consciousness had also told him that if his book burned out and the cracks were still not repaired, his life would be burned out just like the book.

 

Just this last sentence, he did not tell his companions.

 

In the silence, everyone could hear the crazy laughter of Goodnight getting closer.

 

Yue Ze finally squeezed Shen Yu’s hand gently: “I said, I will never let death fall over your head.”

 

Then, he resolutely walked out of the hiding place.

 

Looking at Yue Ze’s leaving back, a sudden and inexplicable fear gripped Shen Yu’s heart tightly.

 

“Don’t, don’t go!” He nearly murmured: “Come back…”

 

Unfortunately, Yue Ze didn’t hear it.
