The red candle was very small, long and thin, and it burned very quickly. The hot wax dripped onto my hands, causing great pain.
Except for Jin Fugui, no one complained. Everyone held their breath and slowly moved towards the center.
Not too slow, not too slow, the faint little flame was particularly fragile. If the movement was a little faster, the dim white flame would flicker continuously, and would soon be extinguished.
Even though they had slowed down their movements, the flames were still getting weaker. On the contrary, the candles were burning very fast, and the only candle stub in Jin Fugui's hand was almost burned out. He held the wax in his hand and tried to scrape off some from the wax figure next to him and stick it on.
He failed.
The wax figure was greasy and sticky, and he had no way to grab it. He tried to break off a small piece of the wax figure's finger, and a lot of blood immediately flowed out of the wound. Jin Fugui was so scared that he dared not move again.
Gradually, the candle in his hand burned out.
The firelight was dim, and a wax figure nearby slowly turned its head, making a sticky wax friction sound that made your teeth ache, and its eyeballs slowly moved and gradually faded away.
"Go on!" Lin Chu took out another candle from his pocket, broke it in half and threw it to him. Jin Fugui was overjoyed and quickly lit the candle and blew on the hot wax in his hand to cool it down.
Lu Yanli found two candles.
They were placed in a statue about seven or eight meters away from me. The statue was also uncomfortable. A man used two candles as weapons to stab a woman's eyes, and the woman opened her mouth and wailed. The statue was so vivid that I felt my eyes hurt as I looked at it.
The temperature in the room rose little by little, and the hot wax flowing under my feet became more and more, and even the air seemed to become hot and sticky. Going up, the flames of the wax sculptures seemed to have really turned into the raging fires in the eighteen levels of hell, and the boiling sea of blood above seemed to be steaming with bubbles.
Their steps became more difficult as more and more wax figures blocked their way. The wax had risen to their ankles, flowing repeatedly and then cooling and solidifying. If they were to stay where they were, they would also become wax figures.
What's worse is Jiang Yu's side.
They had no candles, and the wax figures were attacking them, trying to keep this person here forever.
—Other locations in town.
A man in blood-stained clothes was walking down the street holding a long-handled axe.
It was daytime, but the sky was terribly gloomy. The dark clouds were so low that they almost touched the roofs of the tall buildings. The fierce hurricane made the doors and windows crackle. Ordinary people could hardly walk and all went home to hide.
However, this man walked steadily step by step. The wind seemed to penetrate his body without even blowing up the corners of his clothes.
The blood from the axe in his hand also dripped steadily, leaving a line of blood on the ground.
A pedestrian was walking hurriedly on the road, hunching his body and shrinking his neck as he hurried home. The weather was weird today, so he didn't think much and just walked forward with his head down. He felt himself passing by a person in red clothes and couldn't help but look back.
The man had already walked past and also turned back to look at him.
No, wait... that person...
That person actually turned around and looked at him 180 degrees, which is impossible for a normal person to do!
The blood in his body seemed to freeze at that moment. He tried to run, but suddenly found that he couldn't run at all. His hands and feet seemed to be out of control as he slowly walked towards the man.
No! Don't go over there! Run!
Run! !
But no matter how frightened he was and how much he screamed and shouted, his hands and feet still did not obey him and he walked step by step towards the man in blood-stained clothes.
Then, his head turned away.
"Oh my god..."
A girl in the tall building opposite witnessed everything. She immediately closed the curtains, covered her pounding heart, and turned away. "It's haunted... It must be haunted, right? Didn't the police say Lu Yanli is dead?"
It’s over, it’s over. If I meet him, will he come to find me
That's not right. There have been murders every day, including home break-ins and murders. Is he the one who did all of them
He had killed many people when he was alive, and now that he is dead, he has turned into an even more terrifying ghost
Thinking of this, the girl was shocked and scared.
She trembled as she moved to the window, carefully opened the curtains a little, and went out.
On the street, the red figure was still standing there, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
Fortunately... Fortunately, I was not discovered.
The girl then realized that she had held her breath because she was so nervous. Her palms were full of sweat, and after she opened the curtain, a little wet stain appeared on the fabric.
But... why is she still so nervous
It was as if someone was watching him.
Why? Stop looking! No matter what you are, stop looking!
She was restless and couldn't calm down at all. After drinking a glass of water, she became even more anxious and paced around the room.
No, something is wrong...
There was something wrong with the figure she just saw!
What's wrong
The girl was puzzled. She found her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, as if... something strange was about to happen.
How about... I take another look
They didn't notice me the first two times, so they won't notice me now, right? I just need to be careful.
The girl walked towards the window, her whole body tense to the point of being stiff. In the quiet room, she could hear her own gentle breathing and the heartbeat that almost jumped out of her throat.
No! Don't do that! !
Move your feet toward the window.
Stop! If you are discovered, you will die! !
She stood by the window.
No! You can't be discovered!! No no no no!
She placed her hand on the edge of the curtain and pulled it aside a little bit, leaving a small gap. Then, she carefully leaned her head over and looked out.
She met a blood-red eye.
The head was floating behind the gap, staring at her intently, waiting for her to open the curtain. Then - kill her! !
“Ahhh—”
Not far away, screams were heard.
Di Ying, Ximen Yuan and others were in the same building. They heard screams coming from afar and immediately hid behind the curtains and headed towards the direction of the sound.
This immediately frightened them. The whole building was gushing out scarlet blood. It was unknown how many people had died to produce such a large amount of blood. Then, one after another, unrecognizable bodies were thrown out of the building and landed on the street.
"The massacre has started again. It looks like our building will be the next target." Di Ying pulled the curtains shut. Her voice was a little hoarse due to nervousness. She suggested, "We must escape quickly, otherwise when that ghost enters our building, we will all die!"
"Let's go to the rooftop. We might run into something bad if we go down the stairs. We can jump from the rooftop to the next door and then escape from the next street."
They did what they said and quickly packed up their things and fled upwards.
They were right. As soon as they escaped to the fifth floor, they heard screams coming from downstairs.
"Hurry! Hurry!"
No one was crazy enough to take the elevator at this time. Everyone ran upstairs desperately with their bags on their backs. The screams were getting closer and closer, and already... I could smell blood.
The rooftop was on the eighth floor and the door was locked. Tan Xu, who was in the front, kicked it open, turned around and grabbed Ximen Yuan, and the two of them rushed up immediately.
As soon as they entered the rooftop, they were stunned.
The rooftop is full of clothes drying poles.
On each clothesline, there is a piece of human skin drying in the sun. The skin is yellow and translucent and still sticky with fat. The long black hair on the head flutters in the wind. It looks light, but it cannot be blown away.
"Don't worry about it, let's go first!"
The people who came up later were also shocked. Ximen Yuan pulled Tan Xu and said, "Let's go! Run away! Don't touch these things."
Who would have thought that there would be these things on the top floor
The people in front carefully walked through the human skins blown by the wind and ran to the edge of the floor.
After they entered, the human skins hanging out to dry seemed to be unable to hold on and were floating in the air, as if they were about to be blown away by the wind.
The wind got stronger.
A piece of human skin finally fell off, floating in the air, circling twice, and then slowly fell down.
It seemed to want to fall on Di Ying, and it just floated slowly along with her. No matter how fast Di Ying accelerated, the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
Di Ying gritted her teeth and ran forward desperately, dodging left and right to avoid the soft hands stretched out from the human skins. She heard screams coming from all around her.
Those human skins found new hosts and excitedly wrapped themselves around them, slowly making the people breathless. Then, the skin of those people gradually heated up, as if they had been scalded.
It was indeed cooked through, heated from the inside out. Then, a knife was used to gently cut a round hole on the top of the head. The meat and bones flowed out like liquid, leaving a pool of red and white thick gravy on the ground.
Ximen Yuan and Tan Xu had already escaped to the balcony. When they turned around, they saw this scene. They felt so disgusted that they wanted to vomit, so they quickly stood on the balcony and jumped out.
The building opposite was about two meters away, lower, and could be jumped over with a little effort. The two of them jumped with all their might and landed right on the roof of the building.
Then it was Di Ying's turn. She stepped on the handrail, found the right position and jumped out, also landing steadily. The human skin that was about to fall on her missed and wrapped up another tasker instead.
The next tasker didn't care about that anymore, and rushed out without even looking. Then, he widened his eyes—
On the roof of the building, there is a clothesline leaning against the fence. It is made of bamboo and has a slightly pointed top.
There was no way to control his body in mid-air, and the others were too far away, so they could only watch as the bamboo pole pierced through the opponent's mouth.
It was just like a child who, after catching a grasshopper, likes to use a smooth grass root to pierce the grasshopper's mouth, pierce through its tail and come out, and then string it into a circle to prevent the grasshopper from escaping. Ximen Yuan didn't know why he thought of this and couldn't help feeling a little disgusted.
"Let's go." He pulled Tan Xu, who understood and dragged him down to escape.
Two more people jumped over safely, making a total of five people, who stumbled and fled downwards.
Fortunately, this building had not been targeted yet. They successfully escaped from the top floor to the first floor and rushed out -
Then they entered a strange place.
It was dark, spacious, and filled with strange and bizarre wax figures. The temperature was extremely high, and the ground was flowing with wax that was almost as thick as the calves.
Ximen Yuan also saw a familiar figure.
"Jiang Yu? Why are you here?"
As they were talking, other people came in one after another and were stunned on the spot.
Lu Yanli's heart sank.
There were not many candles, but so many people came.
