Nightmare Apostle

"A corpse with no value must be stabbed at least thirty times, like scrambling eggs with broken yolks, even the worms dragging out should be split vertically, just to keep them from getting away and suffering."

"The Evil Cultivators dare not mention your name directly in private for fear of bad luck, so they call you Yang the Good Man."

Hearing this, Yang Xiao’s first thought was that this guy was being sarcastic, but he had no evidence; what Ye Zheng said was all true.

The Chamber of Commerce’s intelligence ability was indeed formidable. Yang Xiao prided himself on being quite secretive, but it seemed he’d been negligent.

However, Ye Zheng didn’t seem to notice the subtle change in Yang Xiao’s expression as she turned her head to look outside through the gap between the curtains. Outside, only a few windows were faintly lit in the dark, rain-soaked night.

"I wonder what will happen tonight," Ye Zheng said softly.

"This is no longer something you and I can control; life and death are fated. Hopefully, that Guo Tiejun can survive," Yang Xiao sighed.

Though he was accustomed to life and death in the Nightmare World, Yang Xiao still hoped that the nightmare would show a little mercy to these ordinary people.

Building No. 3 for family members, Floor 2, Room 7.

Above, an old-fashioned light bulb on the damp ceiling glowed dimly, emitting a dying yellowish light.

At this moment, Feng Xiaoyan sat on a chair, looking at the face lying sideways on the bed, deep in sleep, with a complex expression.

"Guo Tiejun, Guo Tiejun?" she called softly, until she confirmed there was no sign of waking. Guo Tiejun seemed to be in a dead sleep.

In fact, it wasn’t just seeming; he had passed out because Feng Xiaoyan had given him a large amount of tranquilizers.

Fearing that the dissolved pills would be tasted in water, she specifically bought two bottles of soda, mixing the finely ground white tablets into the soda, watching Guo Tiejun, consumed by anxiety, drink it sip by sip.

You couldn’t blame her; anyone could see that Guo Tiejun was targeted by a Ghost and highly likely to be found tonight.

She had no ties with him, so she certainly wouldn’t accompany him to his death.

Although Guo Tiejun had been decent to her these days, each matter should be dealt with separately, and she’d been fair enough to him.

Logically, Guo Tiejun should be sensible, perhaps offering to stay the night himself, without involving others.

This would also give her a way out, but what did he do? Despite her many hints to him, desiring to stay elsewhere, he stubbornly stayed behind, as if determined not to let her go.

Hearing she wanted to stay the night, he insisted on staying too, declaring he’d remain there.

That was too much. Not only was he seeking his death, but dragging her into it as well. What kind of reasoning was this, Feng Xiaoyan thought with a rising anger, and of course, fear.

Even though Ghosts hadn’t attacked multiple people at once before, who could guarantee tonight wouldn’t be the first? And she wouldn’t be the first innocent victim?

Feng Xiaoyan couldn’t gamble and didn’t wish to gamble, especially not for a stranger like Guo Tiejun.

So with a hard heart, during her time at the infirmary, she sneaked into the pharmacy while the night nurse wasn’t paying attention and took a few tranquilizing pills from the large glass bottle.

Since Guo Tiejun was heartless, he couldn’t blame her for being unscrupulous. She was still young and didn’t want to die. He was the one foolish enough to bring it on himself!

Guo Tiejun was indeed a bit tenacious. After returning, he stubbornly stayed awake, watching over her, afraid she’d leave him.

Feng Xiaoyan coaxed him to sleep, saying she’d keep first watch and wake him to switch in the middle of the night.

It took over two hours of staying by his side before Guo Tiejun finally couldn’t hold on anymore and fell into a sleep.

Thinking of this made Feng Xiaoyan seethe, cursing inwardly the kind who drags others down with them. Such people deserve to die.

Looking at the sleeping face, the hatred in Feng Xiaoyan’s heart gradually overcame her guilt, her expression twisting in rage.

A thought crept unbidden into her mind—she even hoped that the person to die tonight would be Guo Tiejun, because he deserved it!

Without further hesitation, after taking one last look at Guo Tiejun, Feng Xiaoyan turned and left, not forgetting to take the empty soda bottle with her, as it was evidence.

If teammates found out she drugged Guo Tiejun, her reputation would be ruined, even though she felt somewhat justified.

She moved quietly, softly closing the door behind her, careful not to wake Guo Tiejun from his induced slumber.

Luckily, everything went smoothly, and once she left the room and slowly closed the door, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

With distance from Guo Tiejun, she was relatively safe for the night.

She had a plan for what to do next. It would be foolish to walk to the clinic alone in the dark and rain.

She decided to find a secure spot inside the building to spend the night until daylight.

She’d already chosen her target—the porter’s room on the first floor, where Aunt Zhang, the caretaker of this family building, lived.

Aunt Zhang was a kind-hearted person, knowing that they were inexperienced young people, she often helped tidy up the cooking area outside their dorm, cleared the coal ashes, brought up new briquettes, and lent them a hot water bottle.

Feng Xiaoyan had spoken with her before and knew the basics of Aunt Zhang’s background.

Aunt Zhang was a veteran employee of the plant, never married, with no children, and was injured years ago in a work accident, resulting in a damaged left leg from falling steel parts.
