Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 113 I'm Crazy

When the lantern light shone through them, it turned out that these things were all wax figures.

One after another, quiet and eerie.

Ding Xiu breathed heavily, gasping for breath, his eyes rolling up constantly, he felt darkness in front of his eyes, and his fear was infinitely magnified.

"He was frightened and had problems." Ma Wen hurried to help Ding Xiu, but Chen Ning'an grabbed his hand and said, "Let's go."

He saw the oil flowing along the fingertips of the wax figures, and the nails became sharp and extended into claws. The wax figures were not wax figures at all, but corpses!

Not only did he leave, he also closed the door and pasted the talisman he had drawn earlier on the door.

This can suppress the evil spirit for a short period of time and prevent those things from getting close.

"Bang!"

As soon as the door was closed, there was a huge crash and constant shaking, and Ding Xiu's current consequences can be imagined.

"How can this be a stone palace? This is a corpse palace!"

Ma Wen's pupils continued to dilate. The entire west wing was actually full of zombies. How terrifying would it be if they were to get out?
"Let's hide first." Chen Ning'an took him to find an empty room, and immediately went in and sealed all the doors and windows with talismans.

"How could there be so many zombies?" Marvin gasped. The sound of a door collapsing could be faintly heard through the rain.

“They’re coming out.”

Chen Ning'an's expression remained unchanged. He took out the talisman paper from his arms and cut his finger with the almost broken butcher knife.

As the blood flowed out, he kept drawing the talisman.

"Are we going to use these talismans to escape?"

Ma Wen knew how powerful these things were, and felt that there was no difference between Chen Ning'an and the guide.

"Do not."

Chen Ning'an only answered with one word, saying without any beginning or end:
"In the cultivation of immortality, money, companions, Dharma and land, money is the most important condition to support how far a person can go."

"Immortal?" Ma Wen had never heard of this word and guessed it was a way for a living being to advance.

The rest of the words are not difficult to understand.

These things called talismans are very magical. Once blood is engraved on them, it will dry up and solidify immediately. There will be no effect at all after being superimposed.

Chen Ning'an's hands never stopped, and gradually, worry appeared on Ma Wen's face.

"Brother Chen, I think you can slow down a bit. The amount of blood you've lost is alarming."

He felt panicky as Chen Ning'an's current condition was not something a normal person could handle. Each talisman took too much of his blood.

The face, which was originally rosy, was now completely pale, and not even a bit bloody under the red light of the lantern.

There was a strange hollow sound coming from his chest, his heart was beating.

"Not enough, not enough."

Chen Ning'an's voice was confused: "The west wing is so big. I took a look and there are at least forty heads. I'm still a few short. A lot short."

With the imperial talismans stacked up next to him, Ma Wen frowned and stood within Chen Ning'an's sight.

This guy's condition is not right now, and he is afraid that Chen Ningan will have mental problems and no longer look at him.

However, the way Chen Ning'an looked at him from time to time made Ma Wen increasingly uncomfortable.

Those eyes seemed to glow green, and their originally rational expression gradually became strange and colder.

"Brother Chen, stop!" Ma Wen shouted, he knew he couldn't go on.

"Chen Ning'an, stop!"

He wanted to grab the pen, but Chen Ning'an glared at him fiercely, and this look made Ma Wen feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

He knew that he could no longer persuade her.

"What about blood?"

But suddenly, Chen Ning'an asked, "Strange, why can't I squeeze it out?"

He pressed his fingers frantically and even stroked his arm, trying to squeeze out some blood, but failed in the end. No matter how hard he tried, he only squeezed out a little yellow water.

"Where's the blood? Where's the blood!"

His expression gradually became irritable, and his eyes involuntarily looked at Marvin.

At this time, Marvin's face became extremely ugly. A normal person would have died without blood.

But Chen Ningan was not like that. He could still move and his face was whiter than paper.

"Chen Ning'an...you, calm down."

Ma Wen held up the talisman in front of him. He was in a dilemma and could not escape. If he escaped, he would be out of Chen Ning'an's sight.

But if he continues to stay, Chen Ningan might do something extremely outrageous.

Vitality, where is the way out?

Marvin looked around, his brain working frantically. He couldn't believe that he had reached a dead end here.

He still has a lot of future and a wonderful life, so it is impossible for him to fall here.

And Chen Ning'an was already approaching him.

"Chen Ning'an! Wake up!"

Ma Wen grabbed the large stack of talismans and retreated towards the door facing Chen Ning'an.

"Don't leave."

Chen Ning'an held his head with his hand and whispered to himself, "Don't go."

His voice was audible only to himself, and he moved closer to Marvin.

"Don't go!"

A heavy voice was heard, it was his own voice again, and Chen Ning'an began to walk forward and chase.

"Oh!"

There was a loud noise outside the door. When Chen Ning'an approached with difficulty, he only saw Ma Wen's desperate face, staring at his trembling eyes.

The smell of burning meat was in the air, and there was a huge shadow behind Marvin.

He raised his left hand high, trying to stick the talisman on the other person's body, but he couldn't get close.

The strength in his body disappeared in an instant. Marvin tried hard to focus his eyes, but he failed and his expression gradually became distracted.

A tall figure over two meters tall, a mixture of red flesh and red cloth, the skin was burnt and cracked, and the horrible flesh and blood had all melted together.

He held Marvin high up and let the blood flow toward his face.

"Put down my stuff!"

Chen Ning'an went completely crazy. He stomped his back feet on the ground, cracking the bricks and stones, and then he pounced on the zombie!
He brought his fists down hard, all landing on the ugly, melted face of the monster, and the eyes and nose were smashed out from under the charred skin.

"Let me see how hard you are!"

His eyes were more creepy than those of a zombie. His fists came down and his whole body was smashed into the red flesh and red cloth.

"Bah! It's worthless." He spat out what he had bitten off, and the power of the Vajra Talisman increased greatly.

He couldn't hit the opponent because the zombie was too hard.

But the Vajra Talisman also prevented the zombies' nails from piercing his body, and they fought each other.

At a certain moment, Chen Ning'an felt as if his whole body was on fire, and the Vajra Talisman was burning violently.

"Hungry!"

噩！
evil!
His consciousness was about to be destroyed by himself, he felt extremely exhausted inside his body, and faced a very terrifying murderous intent outside his body.

He knew that Marvin was dead, so he stepped away from the zombie and came to Marvin's side.

His head was tilted to one side, but his eyes were still open.

"sorry……

The sweet rain nourishes the earth and the grass and trees sprout new buds.

Chen Ning'an grabbed the talismans and stuck three of them on the zombie to stop its evil spirit.

But this thing was still shaking and the talisman showed signs of being burnt and damaged. Chen Ningan pulled out two more talismans, then five, a total of seven talismans before he could completely suppress it.

This stuff is amazing.

Chen Ning'an was certain that the fire could not kill it, and the exorcism talisman could only repel it. Even his fist weighing more than 7,000 pounds could not break its bones.

Under the light of the lantern, the huge figure over two meters tall and the ferocious face exuded a great sense of grotesqueness. Chen Ningan breathed a sigh of relief, found a rope, and hung the remaining ball on his chest.

This way, you can keep watching.

"Why couldn't I control myself just now?"

Chen Ningan looked at his hands, which were covered in blood. When he was drawing the talisman...

His expression gradually became ugly. Wasn't the Mountain Mother already dead and became his nourishment? But why did Madness appear again?

As soon as he started drawing the talisman, his body became out of control, as if he was feeling great joy because of those wax corpses.

This is not the main point. The main point is that at the last moment, he could no longer squeeze out blood from his body, but he still wanted to continue. If Marvin had not awakened a trace of his rationality, he would probably have died of anger or starvation.

Or... die of starvation?
He lay on the ground with a still pale face. It might be a problem with this place, some rules that made him lose his sanity.

But no matter what, he couldn't draw the calming talisman now, so he had to be careful.

Let’s not talk about this lamp.

Chen Ning'an was thinking, holding a ball in his arms, dragging the two-meter-tall zombie out of the stone house with one hand. There were other wax corpses, but his current body was not strong enough to digest them all.

Wait a moment and come back after he has replenished his knowledge. Anyway, this place is very close to the patio of Yadongpo Reservoir.

When the time comes, he will open his eyes and hold the lantern, and everything here will be his.

Outside Dadong Village, the people of Ye'an stared at the interior of the village and stood at the entrance without going in.

"Have you found out? What is the reason for the eye contact rule?"

Rong Qin asked ahead and saw some charred marks on the ground in the distance.

Some of the timekeepers were called in to investigate the cause.

"Not yet, but I think soon."

There was a man on the ground staring at the computer, which showed real-time images of Dadong Village. He was a special talent in the team, Jia Changhe.

Through computers, you can connect to those timekeepers and enter places they cannot enter.

"These timekeepers are not cheap. They were sent to Room 2 because the things in it are special."

Rong Qin urged him: "Try to find out the result before the lantern bearers finish holding the lanterns. If it is really that thing, then everyone won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future."

Ye Dingwan's eyes lit up and she kept these words in mind.

Although she didn't understand what Jia Changhe was doing, she was unwilling to look away.

"Everyone in Dadong Village died. I think it has something to do with the relationship between the Lords of Frost Corpse Realm and Cliff Cave Realm."

Rong Qin said, "The guide Zhang Qi died. It was said that he died because of something, but he didn't want to. Do you think it was this?"

"Captain, you'd better stop thinking about it. That's not something we can consider."

Deng Guanyang said, "Let's find this thing. If it is really that kind of thing, you also said that you will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

There was more desire in their eyes, and Yue Feng also stood aside with envy in his eyes.

With that kind of thing, he doesn't need to be the mission leader here.

No one wants to be a night watchman, just as no one wants to be a lantern bearer. They are all forced and have no other choice.

If there is even the slightest chance, no one wants to take the risk. Besides the horrible mortality rate, there is also the psychological torture.

Just like him now, when he is in the dark or in a place with few people, he will start to feel fear, fearing that something like that will come out.

He...really wants to be an ordinary person.

“I think I found it.”

Suddenly Jia Changhe spoke, and everyone's eyes were focused on the computer.

I saw a coffin appear on the screen. Unlike the coffins in reality, this coffin looked extremely simple and the patterns and decorations on it were not in the New Qin style.

"It came from the Light Realm."

Rong Qin could tell at a glance: "Hurry up and lift it..."

"No, that's not right. We can't carry it out. If we move it, we will all be in trouble. Wait for me, I'll find some connections."

He took out his cell phone and searched for the phone number that he hadn't used for a long time.

"What is this?" Ye Dingwan didn't understand and asked Jia Changhe. She said coquettishly, "Brother Changhe, please tell me about it."

Jia Changhe was very pleased and smiled with satisfaction:

"Xiao Ye, you just got here and you don't know a lot of things yet. For Ye Ans of our level, many things are not secrets."

"Then tell me about it." Ye Dingwan stared at the coffin and thought to herself: If only she could get one too, many of her wishes would come true after exchanging it for money.

“Actually, this thing is called a runaway object.”

"It refers to something that escaped from the Light Realm and became out of control and appeared in the real world."

"And these things usually have very special features. Our guiding finger, prediction bottle, and the rule coffin in front of us are all classified as out-of-control objects."

Ye Dingwan seemed to understand what he said, and more and more truths about this world appeared before her eyes.

Ye Dingwan still had questions about the out-of-control object.

"Hasn't it been nerfed? Or is it still this powerful even if it is nerfed?"

"There is no such thing as weakening out-of-control objects."

At this time, Rong Qin came from a distance. He had finished the call and obtained the other party's consent.

His mood improved slightly, and he said without hiding anything:

"The key to the out-of-control object is the word out-of-control. The out-of-control in reality keeps it in the lantern state and cannot be suppressed. So although it seems that Dadong Village is still in the world, it has actually been eroded by the lantern world."

Ye Dingwan seemed to understand what was said. She stared at the coffin again. No wonder it would ensure they would not have to worry about the rest of their lives. Just by hearing the name, she knew that it was an extremely rare and precious thing.

"Okay, let's get ready. He should be arriving quite late. We can continue after the lantern bearers leave."

Four hours have passed. Although there are out-of-control objects, an ordinary lantern world like Dadong Village will not allow people to stay for too long.

Sure enough, in the fifth hour, lanterns began to appear in Dadong Village.

The people holding lanterns were either in pairs or in groups of three or five, staring at each other as they approached.

After passing the Dadong Village stone tablet, these people still did not dare to relax, and only breathed a sigh of relief after passing the Ye'an people.

"Survived."

Someone extinguished the lantern and lay on the ground as if exhausted.

Some people dare not even blink, and at this time they close their eyes and feel the long-lost comfort.

Of course, there are still people redeeming rewards. They come here just for this. After completing the lantern task, they either go to work or go to the club to relax. That’s all.

Ye Dingwan counted the number of people and found that a small number of them remained in the Dengjing forever.

This is just a simple lantern-carrying event. If this continues, won’t the population of New Qin be greatly reduced?
But she frowned and took out her cell phone to check.

The population of Zhongcheng fluctuates around 10 million, and the annual birth rate is between 150,000 and 200,000. According to common sense, with such a high death rate, the population should not be so stable over the years.

Is this official false information?
She lit a cigarette for herself, and the pain in her back started again, making her frown.

Finally, Chen Ningan's figure appeared in her eyes.

He was alone, dragging something behind him, and hanging on his chest... what was that?
Ye Dingwan widened her eyes and observed carefully.

"Oh? That person has come up with a good idea."

Deng Guanyang followed her gaze and asked, "Your ex-boyfriend?"

"No." Ye Dingwan watched Chen Ning'an pass by her with regret in her eyes.

There is such a strong smell of blood, especially the hanging thing, it is so irritating to the eyes.

Wait, he's still dragging...

The long, charred object had seven talismans stuck on its head.

"Brother Chen, what is this?"

She couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. Chen Ning'an glanced at her and hurriedly turned away.

He had things to do that needed a grand replenishment.

Deng Guanyang couldn't help but tease Ye Dingwan when he saw her frustrated:
"Hey, you're still a love-brained person?"

"Actually, I'm pretty good too. Would you like to consider it?"

"My price has always been there. I don't mind if you are willing to give it up."

Ye Dingwan looked away, slightly sad.

After joining Ye'an, she clearly noticed that Chen Ning'an's attitude was different.

Perhaps, they are people from two different worlds.

"Forget it, forget it. Your price is too high. I can't afford it." Deng Guanyang shook his head in disappointment.
"Why do you women always keep an empty room? Just like the economy, it is beneficial to everyone if it circulates."

Ye Dingwan did not answer. She couldn't leave her post without permission, otherwise she would definitely catch up.

Of course, if she really catches up with him, Chen Ningan will leave her aside again. He has a lot of doubts now.

The main issue is sanity. The last time she lost control was because of the blood-eating and air-eating method. She would go crazy every time she studied.

Later, the Mountain Mother appeared. She thought that the Mountain Mother was influencing him, but now it seems that it is because he has used the method of eating blood and eating qi too much?

Chen Ning'an was not sure, and subconsciously he thought that this was not the reason.

Someone drove away, and he stepped lightly on the lantern man's vehicle and hitchhiked to the patio.

After a period of recuperation, the deep well water appeared in the courtyard again. Chen Ningan stood on a high place, grabbed the zombie and jumped down.

The talisman was wetted by water, but the power of the zombie in his hand was obviously weakened and was suppressed by Chen Ning'an with one hand.

This is the real world, not the world of lanterns.

"Such a good place to raise corpses, it's really a bargain for you."

Chen Ning'an sighed and buried the zombie first, and then followed his memory to find the entrance to the cave where the young man was in the water.

Because it was daytime and the young people were hiding inside, even without the sunlight, it still had that familiar look.

Chen Ning'an walked in slowly and stirred the blood to replenish the needs of his body.

He once again looked at the huge corpse. He wondered how powerful it was in the Lamp Realm. It was probably not the realm master, but it was at least as powerful as him.
