Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1123: Chapter 765: It’s Over

"A death row inmate?"

Upon hearing this, the women were initially shocked, then their expressions turned excited. They all considered themselves worldly wise and found ordinary pleasures dull. It was their first time experiencing the thrill of a death row inmate standing before them, sharing personal insights.

They knew Xibao Hotel had wild connections, but they never expected it to be this extreme.

The group of socialites sat below, staring at the young inmate with bright eyes, unable to conceal their anticipation and excitement.

"I... What should I say?" The young inmate, feeling unnerved by the women’s intense gaze, couldn’t help but seek help from Yang Xiao. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"Anything, just talk about the crime you committed, the process, anything you want to say." Yang Xiao only wanted the man to interact with these infected people quickly so he could get infected.

He intended to use the man as bait to lure the ghost out, and after that, whether the man lived or died, he would deal with everyone present.

This was also the reason he didn’t let Qu Muzhi and Fu Qingzhu in; using prisoners as test subjects wasn’t a honorable act, and one person bearing the responsibility was enough.

The prisoner on the stage was compliant too. Yang Xiao had briefly communicated with him on the way here and learned that he too had been deceived.

Someone promised him that if he behaved and followed orders, his sentence would be reduced.

These are old tricks. From the moment he stepped through the hotel doors, he was a dead man.

The inmate stuttered through his story while the socialites below listened intently, and as time passed, the inmate’s emotions became increasingly excited, even flashing a gleeful smile.

But Yang Xiao, standing not far and observing, noticed something off. The murder scene described by the inmate had many loopholes; it didn’t sound like the first-hand account of a murderer but rather a modified version of a hearsay.

Considering how swiftly the man arrived, a horrifying thought suddenly emerged in Yang Xiao’s mind. He interrupted the man, who was in high spirits, and asked him a few detailed questions, but the man’s answers were full of flaws, confirming Yang Xiao’s suspicion.

Now, the man was entirely swayed by his emotions, his smile becoming more exaggerated, bursting into occasional boisterous laughter, showing signs of madness.

If this continued, in less than 3 minutes, the man would tear his mouth corner from laughing and be killed by the ghost.

"Enough!"

Yang Xiao interrupted him with a somber face, but the young man paid no heed, continuing his emotional narration.

"I said enough!"

A swipe, and the man staggered and fell, still wearing a smile but with a much clearer gaze, a reflection of return to consciousness, "Director Yang, you are..."

Without another word, Yang Xiao stepped forward, grabbed the man’s collar, and dragged him out. The women who had been enjoying the story stood up but shrank back in fear when they saw Yang Xiao revealing the gun at his waist.

Yang Xiao dragged the man out of the room, throwing him out, slammed the door shut. Watching the man struggle to stand, Yang Xiao was furious, "Who the hell are you?"

"Report, Director Yang, I am prisoner 971081, from Rongcheng Second Special Prison, C Zone." The young man replied standing straight.

"What’s your prison director’s name?"

"I... I forgot."

"How many zones are there in the prison, and where is the C Zone located?"

"This..."

Seeing the man’s inability to answer, Yang Xiao yanked him, pressing him against the wall, looking at the man’s face which was younger than his own, his suppressed anger completely erupted, "You are not a death row inmate, you are one of us, you are from the Patrol Defense Office!!"

"That bastard Huang Guozhao! He tricked his own people into dying!" Yang Xiao couldn’t believe he could be so ruthless.

"Director Yang, it’s not like that, I... I know about this, there’s a supernatural incident happening here, someone needs to be the test subject." The man ceased his acting, "Chief Huang didn’t lie to me, he told me everything, I came voluntarily."

"Are you out of your mind? Is your life not a life?" Yang Xiao felt deceived and that he was being played, "Where’s the death row inmate? Where’s the evil cultivator I needed?"

"Bringing in a death row inmate takes time; the situation outside is extremely urgent now, we don’t have time, many people have died already, and using those evil cultivators isn’t as reliable as our own people!"

Pausing, the young man looked at Yang Xiao, his exaggerated smile growing, his infection rate faster than Fu Qingzhu’s, "Director Yang, you are my idol, your heroic deeds at Jingping Manor have been heard by all the brothers."

"I’ve heard your speeches; you said if something life-threatening happened, who else but our Patrol Defense Office would step up, we’re the ones for this job, wearing this uniform means ensuring the peace of this place."

"Hurry up, Director, if we’re much later, it will really be too late!" The young man glanced at the door, urging in a low voice.

"What’s your name?"

"Hao Feiyang." The young man smiled, "Idol, I am an outdoor manager from Anping Public Office, we have met years ago."

Yang Xiao quickly searched his memory; he prided himself on having a good memory, but he indeed had no impression of the face before him.

Hao Feiyang’s mouth widened, his face flushed, and his eyes slowly became like those ghostly things, without the protection of the Ghost Lantern, his infection speed was surprisingly rapid.

The end cannot be avoided; even if sent away now, it would be too late. Yang Xiao’s only possible action now is to use him as bait to lure out the ghost.

If... If he was fast enough, maybe he could save him in the second before the ghost struck to kill.
