Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1923: Chapter 1091: Unknown Attack

Staring at the money in his hand, Hejian Youzhen’s expression was complex. When he came to his senses and looked up again, the door was open, and Yang Xiao and the others had already left.

"Hey, hey, hey, why did you give him money?" Takagi Reina whispered, "Have you ever seen the police give money to a suspect in an investigation? It’s not reasonable, it will expose us."

"Relax, you saw how scared he was, does he look like someone who would dare to report to the police? He wishes he could hide forever and not deal with the police," Yang Xiao remained unfazed and continued, "To take a step back, only if he takes the money will we truly be safe."

"You’re really cunning, he’s urgently in need of money. Even if he realizes we’re fake, he worries that if the real police come, they would confiscate this money, and his grandfather’s involvement with a cult is something he wouldn’t want exposed. He’s even less likely to make a fuss about it." Takagi Reina understood the cleverness of this tactic.

The money they had left was still enough for them to take a taxi back and sustain their lives for the next few days, provided they could survive until then.

Yang Xiao took out some money and returned it to Xiao Lin Zhengyan and Yamamoto Chunai.

"What about mine, what about mine!" Takagi Reina complained discontentedly.

"Yours is with me; I’ll keep it safe for you." Yang Xiao put away the wallet.

"Get lost!" Takagi Reina wouldn’t tolerate him, baring her teeth and claws, she snatched the wallet from Yang Xiao and took her share.

Through Hejian Youzhen, they gained quite a lot this time, and now, after compiling all the information, they could confirm that there indeed existed a station within Youjian Mountain, and the series of paranormal events surrounding the abandoned station was related to the Black Buddha Mother Sect.

Hejian Youzhen’s grandfather, Hejian Zhongxiong, was a follower of the Black Buddha Mother Sect, and Hejian Youzhen’s father, Hejian Zongyilang, was consequently under special department’s watch.

"Oh no..." Just after leaving Beitai Town, Yang Xiao stopped in his tracks, suddenly realizing a very troublesome matter.

Takagi Reina, following closely behind, almost bumped into him, "What’s wrong?"

"Hejian Youzhen’s grandfather is a cultist, his father is a key subject of interest for a special department, which means that the secret about that Youjian Mountain Station is known to that special department. But because the matter is too horrific or vile, relevant departments or powers have decided to thoroughly block it out; it’s a piece of history that cannot be known to the public."

Takagi Reina, being very smart, grasped the point immediately, her expression turning tense with Yang Xiao’s words, "So, this grand investigation and us visiting... going to the station near Youjian Mountain to inquire may very well have exposed this secret, and they... they will notice."

From their perspective, those special personnel who appear in the Nightmare World pose a threat to them that is no less than that from ghosts.

Moreover, dealing with them is much more troublesome than dealing with ghosts.

Just at that moment, a phone call came in; Yang Xiao took out his phone, and the caller ID showed it was Suzuki Takashi.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiao pressed the answer button, but from the other end came a female voice, choked with sobs, "Chu Xi, you... you guys come quick, Suzuki Takashi is dead! He was killed by a ghost... by a ghost!"

Ogawa Haruka displayed extreme fear, her breathing rapid, her voice trembling, and this sudden news caught Yang Xiao and the others off guard.

"Wait, don’t panic, what exactly happened?" Yang Xiao steadied his mind and asked as calmly as possible. freēwebnovel.com

"We were at the station investigating when suddenly... Suzuki Takashi just suddenly died. Senior Sister Yuanda and I are both here, you... you guys should come quickly." Ogawa Haruka said, crying.

"Where are you? Which station?" Yang Xiao pressed.

"Shirahata Station." Ogawa Haruka answered immediately.

Again, it’s Shirahata Station, the station Sasaki Sakura believed she disappeared from. After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiao immediately flagged down a taxi on the street, and the four of them headed towards Shirahata Station.

In fact, time-wise, taking a taxi might not be faster than taking the train, but someone had already died at Shirahata Station, and the situation was unclear; making them take the train to Shirahata Station at the moment was out of the question.

All along the way, Yang Xiao was anxious, looking out the window. It was still daytime, and it was in a public place like a station; how could a living, breathing person... just suddenly be killed by a ghost?

What did they do, could it be... they secretly sneaked into the Youjian Mountain Tunnel?

Upon learning that Suzuki Takashi was killed by a ghost, the atmosphere within the team dropped to a freezing point, with everyone deeply worried.

Yamamoto Chunai couldn’t help but speak bluntly, saying that this must have been done by Yandeta Chiyoda, that old woman, and that Suzuki Takashi was killed because of her.

But Yang Xiao and Takagi Reina said nothing because they knew the likelihood of this was very low.

They believed that, based on Yandeta Chiyoda’s character, she could very well do such a thing, but they didn’t believe Yandeta Chiyoda had such capability.

Considering the mission had only been going on for a total of two whole days, if within such a short period, Yandeta Chiyoda had figured out the pattern of ghost killings and could utilize it to kill team members, then this old woman would be truly terrifying.

Moreover, taking a step back, Yang Xiao believed that even if Yandeta Chiyoda could control Fierce Ghosts to kill, the first target wouldn’t be wasted on Suzuki Takashi, but rather himself.

About half an hour later, the four of Yang Xiao’s team arrived at Shirahata Station and found Ogawa Haruka and Yandeta Chiyoda sitting on benches in the corner.

Ogawa Haruka still had tears at the corners of her eyes, obviously terrified, whereas Yandeta Chiyoda beside her remained relatively composed, being a seasoned player, having seen many storms.

"Where’s the body, where is it?" Takagi Reina directly ignored Yandeta Chiyoda and asked Ogawa Haruka.
