Chapter 167: Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts
Chapter 167 Hundred Ghosts Night Parade
Carnival? Carnival in a hollow?
Not to mention everyone was shocked, even Xu Jiang stayed where he was.
Because from his perspective, the bright and beautiful scenery in front of him is just a dilapidated and decaying ruins.
The clowns, drummers, dancers here... are all heartless people infected by [Madness].
But the strange thing is that these heartless people are laughing...
That's right, it's laughter.
A group of monsters who have completely lost their humanity are actually smiling and seem to be enjoying the carnival atmosphere very much.
"How could this happen?" Xu Jiang couldn't help but look at Sha Tu.
This place, according to Little Bear's guidance, is the most dangerous place in the entire cave and should be the only exit from the cave.
But why is there a carnival here? Looking at the scale of this parade, there are at least tens of thousands of disappointed people.
No wonder we didn't see many monsters along the way. Are they all gathered here?
Looking at the huge number of monsters, it is already overwhelming.
What's more, there is a final BOSS who can assemble so many monsters. With such a scale, how could the Sand Tutors escape?
Feeling Xu Jiang's gaze, Shatu shook his head helplessly.
"I'm sorry, I concealed something before. Because I promised the mayor not to tell the truth. In fact, I have never entered the void at all. Several of my comrades were sacrificed in the black ring."
"The mayor won't let you talk? You won't be allowed to talk about this either?" Xu Jiang couldn't help but ask.
Shatu nodded and took out a cigarette from his pocket, holding it in his mouth with pain in his eyes.
"Yes, I can't say, because I personally watched the defense officer here fall into [madness]."
As soon as he said this, Shaqin immediately questioned him.
"No, that's not what was written in your report."
"The city bureau's report? That report is false. He knew about the disaster in advance but did not stop it. The news would have a huge impact. The mayor has his own reasons."
"But it's not your fault. Why don't you make your report look better?"
"No, I did make a mistake. I gave the retreat order too late and killed my comrades."
Half-truths and half-false past events make the birth of this hollow become confusing.
For the Sand Tutor, he did kill his companions, so there is no need to whitewash his resume.
However, the Sand Tutor did not know the cause of this incident. He only knew that Mayor Rabbit knew about the corruption of the defense officer in advance and made arrangements.
Shaqin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. It seemed that the moment he heard his father tell the reason, his worldview collapsed.
Because the mayor she had always trusted and admired actually watched the town fall.
Xu Jiang saw that Shaqin was not in a good mood, so he patted her on the shoulder and asked her to relax.
"Don't think too much. If you want answers, you can go back and ask again. At least in my opinion, the mayor does have an arrangement."
"Arrangement? If he arranged it, why would he sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of people?" Shaqin is not the kind of compassionate person.
But if one side is really discovered in advance, people should be transferred as soon as possible.
This is tens of thousands of lives! They were all buried here.
"The details are unclear, so don't make any judgments. But at least I'm sure that the Faceless Man's conspiracy did not succeed."
Sha Qin was stunned by Xu Jiang's statement.
"You mean [Purple Umbrella]?"
"That's right. When you see the man standing next to the hole working hard, it proves that he does not control this place."
Madness is a collection of various negative emotions, but the scene of laughter here is completely inconsistent with the concept of the Faceless Man.
Combined with [Purple Umbrella] personally coming here to cause the spread of holes, this place is obviously beyond the control of the Faceless Sect.
Xu Jiang's comfort made Sha Qin feel better, but she was still worried about this horrific disaster.
Regardless of the meaningless discussion of these now, the most important thing is how to get out.
Sha Qin: "Xu Jiang, our poison has not been completely eliminated and it is difficult to move. If you are too reluctant, give up on us. You must escape."
Shatu: "No, you have to leave too. I can carry you on my back."
Lu Zhongtian: "I'll stay as my queen. Anyway, the only fixed assets in my name are a cemetery. I have to sleep in the cemetery even if I go out."
Ying Xiaoxiao: "Why are you thinking so much? Have a fight first, beat the monsters, and then think about leaving."
Wu Mingzhong: "We can follow you and we won't hold you back. Don't give up on us."
…
A group of people had a very lively discussion, and Xu Jiang simply rolled his eyes as an answer.
You guys have said so much, but you haven’t considered my thoughts? I’m not sure I can escape either! Why did you start discussing who should I take with me?
"You guys stop for a moment. The situation here is a bit strange. The team leader and I will explore the way first, and we will decide how to break out after we come back."
Xu Jiang's suggestion was recognized by everyone.
After all, the characteristics of the mecha can only be maintained within a range of five meters.
If they are scattered, they will be eroded by illusions, which is too dangerous; if they are gathered together, it is not conducive to fighting, so it is better to test the situation first before making a decision.
Leaving the Shatu and others to protect the wounded, Xu Jiang and Ying Xiaoxiao walked forward side by side.
The clown in charge of the reception didn't do anything radical, he just let out an intoxicating laugh and watched them move forward.
…
With stone roads and blue-tiled houses, this is a small town with only a few streets.
But in the small town, there are now tens of thousands of people marching in the happy streets.
Festive ribbons, cheerful singing and dancing, everything is so lively and lively.
Unfortunately, these are all disguises under the illusion of [Crazy Calamity], and the real world is in ruins.
There were only ruins on both sides of the street, a celebration procession of tens of thousands of people, and a group of zombies walking forward.
Each lost heart had a forced smile on its face, and its body followed the procession uncontrollably, constantly circling the streets of the town.
Ying Xiaoxiao tried to take a few steps to the side and saw rows of dancers swaying on the gorgeous and luxurious float;
Returning to Xu Jiang's side, only the huge [Crazy Calamity] beast was left, roaring forward with a deathly aura.
"In just those few seconds, I already had a strong sense of joy, and I felt like I wanted to join their team." Ying Xiaoxiao was still frightened.
The horror of illusion lies in your unconsciousness.
Even if you are prepared, you will be slowly disintegrated in a matter of minutes. In the end, you will forget your original intention and mission, and sink into this ocean of happiness.
Even a strong person like Ying Xiaoxiao would feel sinking. This hole is really terrifying. Without the support of Xu Jiang's mecha, it would be difficult for anyone to get out of this illusion.
Of course, it's not much better now.
The two entered the town, but before they could take a few steps, they were stopped by a monster.
A bald, middle-aged monster uncle with bloody skin on his face and a lewd smile gracefully wiped his hands under his crotch and extended an invitation to the two of them.
"Dear guests, please join my carnival and revel in the birth of our princess!"
