Unable to tell whether it was a dream or an illusion remaining in his mind, Qi Lu found himself sitting in an empty palace, the crimson boneless lantern emitting a faint glow like fireflies.
The black marble floor reflects an eerie color under the moonlight outside the window.
As if driven by instinct, he stood up and pushed open the window to look out, and saw a flat, winding road stretching endlessly.
In the middle of the road was a group of people, lined up in a neat square like soldiers, with no expression on their faces, like lifeless dead spirits.
The left side of the road is covered with a thick layer of snow, with occasional snow-white rocks and bones of unknown animals mixed in the stones.
On the right side of the road there is a large lake, more precisely a glacial lake.
The inside of the lake is completely icy, and there is no sign of any water flowing.
There were many creatures in the icy water, but they were all frozen and could not move.
The waning moon hangs in the sky, and there is not a single star around.
Here, everything seems to be silent, you can't even hear the wind, the only sound you can hear is your own heartbeat, which is beating mechanically and monotonously in "plop, plop", as if even you have become a huge wall clock.
Suddenly, a strange blue-red light shot in from outside the hall, and the entire palace suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of dirty blood, and the air was full of a pungent smell of blood.
A few round bones rolled out of the dark corners, the heads of the decapitated dead.
The flesh and blood on the skull are blurred, and in some places it has decayed, and the exposed blood vessels and muscles are faintly visible.
What's even more disgusting is that there is still billowing pus and maggots coming out of the rotten flesh.
They followed Qi Lu's body like demons, and kept biting and wriggling, trying to devour him completely.
"The joke is just this kind of little trick, do you also want to deal with me, a soul crosser" Qi Lu decided to completely eradicate these evil things.
But he suddenly found that there was a biting cold attack on his body, and his body was suddenly frozen, and he couldn't move at all.
A tall humanoid statue suddenly appeared in the center of the main hall, its face shrouded in black fog, making it impossible for Qi Lu to see its true face.
"Someday, you'll be back" A cold voice came from the statue's belly, and it moved, and a pair of ghost claws suddenly grabbed Qi Lu.
"Ahh Qi Lu woke up from his dream in an instant, and broke out in a cold sweat.
"It's strange that people like you have nightmares."
Qi Lu heard the voice behind him, and he didn't need to look back to know that it was Lao Wu who was asking him, because his nose with a keen sense of smell had already smelled a strong smell of wine.
But Qi Lu didn't want to deal with Lao Wu, because he felt that his consciousness seemed to be still in that dream.
Since becoming a soul crosser, he has often had some inexplicable dreams, but he has never had such a terrifying memory left him with that dream just now, and he has repeated it many times.
"I'm going to apply for the job tomorrow, have you thought about the details?"
Lao Wu pointed out the recruitment notice in the newspaper to him. “” "Remember, you must not reveal your identity as a soul crosser," Lao Wu was babbling again.
"Got it."
Qi Lu replied weakly.
Is this my fate, or is it a new reincarnation Qi Lu pinched his fingers and calculated silently, this is the forty-ninth mission, or fifty times But it doesn't matter anymore, since he partnered with Lao Wu, he has been surrounded by strange and bizarre things, and his heart has long been numb. i0 t1706231537:
