Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1121: Chapter 764: The Curse

Under the green light, the woman had completely changed her appearance, her mouth agape, eyebrows twisted, her face still displaying an expression of extreme delight, with the corners of her mouth torn and bloodstains on her cheeks and chin.

This was no longer a human, but a corpse!

"Puchi!"

Qu Muzhi moved viciously, directly stabbing the headless spear into the woman’s heart.

The corpse convulsed a few times and finally went still, revealing its true dead face, no longer needing the Ghost Lantern.

The urgent matter now was to confirm whether this was an attack from an unknown Angel Envoy or a new supernatural event.

Fortunately, the three were experienced and quickly regained their composure. Fu Qingzhu immediately took out his phone to report, but the next second, he was simultaneously stopped by Yang Xiao and Qu Muzhi.

Yang Xiao and Qu Muzhi exchanged a glance, everything understood without words, both recalling that unpleasant experience.

Back in Jingping Town, that horrific supernatural event spread through a phone call, resulting in the deaths of hundreds, including the former director of the Luming Bureau.

Crouching down, Yang Xiao searched the woman and found a phone, unlocking it with her fingerprint to quickly check the call records, the last call was three hours ago.

By examining the corpse, Yang Xiao determined that the woman’s time of death did not exceed an hour.

Seeing this, Fu Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and the three of them reported separately, Fu Qingzhu to the Apostles Union, while Yang Xiao and Qu Muzhi reported to Nalan Shuo and Huang Guozhao respectively.

After briefly explaining the situation, they immediately sprang into action, not calling for help, but to seal the scene and prevent more people from getting caught up in the calamity.

Handling supernatural events was the responsibility of the Patrol Defense Office, and the two strongest former captains of the Rongcheng Patrol Division were here.

Yang Xiao gently pushed the door open, the hallway was silent, he carried the Ghost Lantern and was the first to step outside, followed closely by Fu Qingzhu, with Qu Muzhi staying back to bring up the rear.

At this moment, a figure emerged from not far away, a Qipao woman with a veiled face approached quickly, "Sir, do you need anything?"

Yang Xiao gave her no chance to get close, raising his hand and striking her down with a stick, the green light cast over her face revealing a terrifying dead face once again.

Her face showed a morbid excitement, with torn mouth corners, identical to the death of the previous woman.

This time, Yang Xiao infused enough spiritual power into the Human Bone Staff, turning the woman back into a corpse with a single strike.

He approached the opposite room, the door was ajar, and inside it was unusually quiet, but as Yang Xiao pushed the door open, it revealed an unexpectedly lively scene inside.

A table full of people exchanging drinks, with chatter and laughter, six men and four women among ten people, the scene exceptionally harmonious, but facing the intruding Yang Xiao, a drunken man stood up displeased, "Get out, get out, the waiters nowadays have no manners, did I call you?"

The others followed suit, complaining in unison. Yang Xiao scanned the room and quietly retreated, closing the door and plunging the room back into deadly silence.

"Hiss—" This eerie scene caused Fu Qingzhu, standing outside the door, to take a sharp breath.

"Once they come into contact with the living, the corpses are instantly activated, reacting faster than in Jingping Manor," Yang Xiao said in a low voice.

Qu Muzhi’s sharp gaze swept around, the hotel’s silence causing unease, "This is not like an Angel Envoy’s attack, this is an entirely new supernatural event targeting us."

This is undeniable since no one would believe it such a coincidence, that the supernatural incident erupted right when the three of them arrived.

"Prepare yourselves, I am about to initiate a second contact, Captain Qu, stay outside to observe and record." freewēbnoveℓ.com

With that, Yang Xiao pushed the door open again. As before, the drunk man stood up again, this time with a worse attitude, pointing at Yang Xiao and cursing loudly, telling him to get out and call the manager.

"These guys’ memories stop just before death, and posthumous reactions to the outside world seem more like instinct, initially judging this as a curse."

"The transmission method is currently unknown, but the most likely is direct contact with the deceased, including but not limited to physical contact, conversation, answering questions, etc."

"What the hell are you talking about, are you sick?" The man cursed, grabbing an empty bottle as he ranted at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao remained unmoved, his voice cold and detached as he gave his assessment while observing these people: "The infected individuals have intense emotional fluctuations, mostly displaying an excited state, exhibiting strong aggression, unable to communicate, recommend immediate disposal."

"Bang!"

Just as the man swung the bottle toward Yang Xiao, a gunshot rang out, a bullet precisely hit the man’s forehead, causing him to stumble back and fall to the ground.

The man, once killed, revealed his true appearance, identical to the previous two Qipao women.

Seeing the man’s death, the others screamed, the room instantly turned chaotic, tables overturned, and the sound of bottles and cutlery shattering on the ground was everywhere. Yang Xiao drew his gun, and together with Fu Qingzhu, they shot all nine remaining individuals.

He could have used the Human Bone Staff, but saving spiritual power when possible is always good, and bullets don’t cost much.

Concerned about these beings coming back to life, Fu Qingzhu swapped magazines to close in and ensure each was thoroughly dead.

Outside the room, Qu Muzhi focused on his task, organizing the information Yang Xiao had analyzed and sent it back to the Patrol Defense Office at once.
