Eternal Night

Chapter 22 Eat ghosts!

Paper figures are actually afraid of fire!

When Lin Heier, Wu Xianxiao and Yamadei held torches and walked towards the paper figures, Xu Shilan, a weak woman behind them, was naturally unable to stop them, and Xu Rongyu was extremely afraid of these weird things and did not dare to step forward.

However, with only three torches, these dozen or so paper figures actually showed signs of hesitation.

Everyone was overjoyed. Wu Xianxiao and Lin Heier rushed to the front. Seeing Wu Xianxiao holding the torch and about to burn the paper man, Lin Heier hesitated for a moment, but still followed closely and handed the torch to him.

She is a woman of the world, a master in the martial arts world, and the leader of an organization. But this is not the time to be sentimental. If you want to grieve, it won't be too late to grieve until she survives!
Seeing the torch approaching, the paper man waved the paper mallet in his hand to resist. When the torch and the paper mallet collided, the paper did not ignite immediately. Instead, an unknown force burst out from the paper mallet, which actually suppressed the flame of the torch and made it dim.

Even Wu Xianxiao and Lin Heier saw with their own eyes that the fire was changing from orange to turquoise at the point of contact with the paper mallet. Moreover, they were very sensitive and realized that the turquoise flame was not only not hot, but also had a chilling coldness that began to offset the heat of the other flames.

Fortunately, the paper man did not have much of this strange power. After offsetting part of the flames, the remaining flames began to burn the paper mallet. Although it burned extremely slowly, the paper mallet did appear charred. Then, in an instant, the woman's miserable howls were heard from the burnt area.

"Juer!" Lin Heier called out in a low voice, his eyes full of sadness, but the torch in his hand only paused slightly and continued to pass it towards the paper figure.

"Senior Sister, Senior Sister, don't burn me, don't burn me..." The paper man began to retreat, the charred paper mallet in his hand still waving around, but the outline of the mouth actually made a woman's voice.

Hearing this voice, Lin Heier could no longer carry out her actions. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she just stood there stupidly.

At this moment, Wu Xianxiao roared fiercely. The aura of his countless distracting thoughts and evil thoughts seemed to extend to the material world in this roar. With the sound of this roar, it spread to the surroundings. After the roar, Wu Xianxiao roared: "Lin Heier, look again!"

Lin Heier shuddered all over. When she opened her eyes again, she saw a scene that made her shudder.

This is not a paper man. It is a horrifying image of a human being's skin, muscles, bones, internal organs, etc., which have been torn and reassembled by some force. All the skin, flesh, bones and internal organs are mixed together and then pulled into lines, which are then woven into this so-called "paper". The face, nose, ears, and eyes on this paper are all abstract and distorted. Muscles and internal organs are mixed with bones, and hair, nails and skin are also mixed together.

The most terrifying thing is that this "person" is still alive. The skin, muscles, internal organs, and bones are all still trying to move. The face that was cut and twisted and embedded in various places on the "paper" has moving eyeballs, a screaming mouth, and blood flowing from the nose and ears...

"Kill me, kill me, kill me, Senior Sister, kill me..."

A sound came out of the twisted and torn mouth. It was a hysterical roar. It was the last request of a life in extreme despair and pain.

But once the sound came out, it turned into visible threads within three feet away from his mouth. These threads densely spread towards Lin Heier, and some of them had already pierced into her skin. All the skin parts pierced by the threads began to twist and tear, and then tried to transform into "paper".

This scene only lasted for a moment. When Lin Heier came to her senses, the horror before her eyes turned into a weird and bizarre paper man. The paper man was still making a sound: "Big sister, don't burn me, it hurts, don't burn me..."

Lin Heier stepped back suddenly and took a deep breath. She felt tingling in several parts of her body and her blood was losing a lot, but the fear in her heart disappeared.

"So evil... so scary!" Lin Heier's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to look at it or think about it any more.

At this moment, Wu Xianxiao had a deeper understanding of the attributes of inspiration.

The higher the inspiration, the more one can see the "reality", but at the same time, seeing the "reality" will affect one, and one will also be perceived by the existence that creates the "reality". For example, now, he feels that the hazy and distorted existence seems to be "looking" at him, giving him goose bumps all over his body.

At the same time, Wu Xianxiao and Yamade held torches and kept burning at the paper man. The paper man began to catch fire, and its sound began to become shrill and distorted, as if a real person was burning. It began to flee in panic and flapped its arms, but it could not stop the burning of the flames.

Then in the next scene, everyone, including Wu Xianxiao, was horrified.

The other dozen or so paper figures did not help to put out the flames on its body. Instead, they raised the paper weapons in their hands and attacked the burning paper figure. Then, they could not wait to share the intact parts that had been separated from it. The mouth, which looked like just a black line, had sharp teeth and a bloody mouth when it opened. Every piece of paper that was eaten let out a distorted howl, and some of the paper even separated from the body and flew out to the surrounding areas.

In an instant, one paper figure was eaten, and the remaining paper figures did not dare to enter the charity cemetery again. They just floated into the jungle outside the cemetery and gradually disappeared.

It was not until then that everyone came to their senses. Except for Wu Xianxiao and Yamade who looked unhappy, the other three began to vomit or dry heave.

Wu Xianxiao stretched out his hand and extinguished the torch, and Amadea did the same.

The torches rely on fuel to burn. Even though they bought out almost all the fuel at the post station, there wasn't much left. It was only the second day, and there were still a dozen paper men spying outside, so of course they had to save as much fuel as possible.

At this time, Lin Hei'er also recovered from her dry heaves. Her face was pale, but she still clasped her fists and said, "Thank you, Master, for saving my life. Lin Hei'er will remember it."

Wu Xianxiao was silent for a moment, but still stretched out his hand to lead the way into the charity cemetery, and said, "Please invite Senior Sister into the cemetery for a chat." Lin Heier quickly said, "I don't deserve it. Senior Sister, just call me Lin Heier, and..."

Lin Heier smiled bitterly, looked at the forest outside the charity cemetery and said, "I dare not leave this charity cemetery easily now, and I have many things to ask the master."

At that moment, everyone returned to the charity cemetery, and Wu Xianxiao moved the stone round table to the center of the courtyard, from where one could see everything around. Everyone sat down, and Lin Heier immediately couldn't wait to tell everyone what she had seen and what she knew.

"Mother of No Birth?" Wu Xianxiao was immediately extremely surprised.

Yamadea and Xu Shilan naturally didn’t know the information about the Mother of No Birth, but Wu Xianxiao knew it.

The original origin of the Mother of No Birth is unknown, but her worship originated from the White Lotus Sect.

The White Lotus Sect was officially founded in the Southern Song Dynasty. It started its rebellion from the very beginning and existed through the Southern Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, and until the Qing Dynasty. The Red Lantern Society actually had the shadow of the White Lotus Sect, and even in the Boxer Rebellion.

The teachings of the White Lotus Sect are partly derived from the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism, and the Mother of No Birth is the goddess of creation in the White Lotus Sect. She is said to have infinite authority and power, and is the infinite, pure, supreme and holy God who carries all spirits in the three realms and in all directions.

When Wu Xianxiao was still in the 21st century, in order to engage in verbal battles with others, he even looked up all kinds of information about the Mother of No Birth.

Many people firmly believe that there is such a great god as the Mother of No Birth, because the White Lotus Sect has been destroyed several times, and even its backbone members have been completely destroyed and suppressed, but it has been reborn continuously for hundreds of years. This kind of thing is very magical. There must be a higher-dimensional force that continuously sends down doctrines and information, otherwise the White Lotus Sect would not have such a strong vitality.

Even if we put aside other things, just based on her fame, this Mother of No Birth can be called a great god.

"impossible!"

Wu Xianxiao immediately shook his head and said, "This is just a world with a baseline reality of 0.9. How could such a great god exist here and become a nightmare? Let alone 0.9, I'm afraid even 0.5 is impossible. To make such a great god a nightmare, the world must be at least below 0.3 of the baseline reality!"

Lin Heier and Xu Rongyu naturally didn't understand what was said, but Yamade and Xu Shilan did.

Xu Shilan frowned and said, "I also saw some changes in the air just now. Could it be that the Mother of No Life cannot enter this world? It is isolated by this world and can only send those threads in. In other words, this world may be connected to a lower level of baseline reality?"

Wu Xianxiao thought for a moment and said, "It's very possible. I did hear from my senior that some dream worlds have hidden connection structures... Then we are really unlucky. We just randomly penetrated a world and encountered such a terrifying existence."

Yamade said nonchalantly, "We have already encountered it. There is nothing we can do. We should think about how to fight back instead of scaring ourselves here."

Wu Xianxiao agreed with this statement, so he looked at Lin Heier and said, "Master Lin, you might as well have a good rest. We have bought enough food in advance, so you can eat as much as you want and restore your energy and blood. The next step is a tough battle, and you will need Master Lin's help."

Lin Hei'er immediately said, "I don't deserve it. These paper figures are from the evil gods and evil Buddhas that I believe in. I am grateful to you for saving me. Now I have to trouble you and my brothers to protect me for a day or two."

Lin Heier immediately found a room and began to regulate his breathing and move his qi and blood, while the rest of the people began to check the charity cemetery building, windows, as well as the prepared fuel, companions and other items.

Nothing happened that day. After dinner in the evening, everyone gathered in the hall to keep an eye on each other. Because they were afraid of a sneak attack from the paper man, there was always a torch lit.

It was around nine o'clock in the evening. Except for Xu Rongyu, who was on the first round of vigil, everyone else was resting with their eyes closed or sleeping. Suddenly, Xu Rongyu ran to Wu Xianxiao and stretched out his hand to wake him up, but before he touched him, Wu Xianxiao's eyes widened.

Xu Rongyu's teeth kept chattering, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master Wu, Master Wu, listen, there is a ghost crying, and it is so miserable!"

Wu Xianxiao shook his head slightly, stood up and went to the window to listen outside. As expected, he heard the miserable wailing and crying of men, women, old and young. The sound was creepy. After just listening for a few seconds, he felt a chill all over his body.

He didn't dare to continue sleeping at the moment, but woke up everyone. After some discussion, he and Lin Heier each took a torch and went out to take a look, while the others guarded the gate. If they had to, they would just set the whole house on fire.

Both of them were dark force warriors. Although Lin Heier had lost some energy, his movements and speed were far superior to those of others. Each of them held a torch and followed the sound. When they reached the edge of the charity cemetery, they saw a scene that chilled their souls.

Dozens of translucent dead souls, all with horrible appearances, either rotten or missing limbs. These ghosts that could scare ordinary people to death, at this moment...

Being grabbed by the paper figures one by one, and then forced into their bloody mouths!!
