153: Chapter 153 The Night the Wax Figures Resurrected

Lu Chengfeng held a candle in his hands, brushed past Chen Mo, and went to the side.

He saw that the wooden tables in the church were numbered.

He quickly found row 12, column 6.

Seated at row 12, column 6 was a wax figure of a young girl; she had her eyes closed, hands clasped together, and her pink lips pursed.

She was praying devoutly.

Lu Chengfeng bent down, trying to see if anything was hidden beneath her.

However, by the candlelight, he discovered nothing except for her rounded toes encased in a pair of high heels.

A shadow suddenly appeared on the ground he was looking down at, engulfing Lu Chengfeng's head.

Lu Chengfeng looked up and saw that the girl's wax figure was tilting its head, looking down at him.

Between her damp hair, her two eyes emitted a creepy yellow light, and she wore an eerie smile.

Fortunately, Lu Chengfeng was wearing a helmet.

Between the man and the wax figure, nose to nose, they were just a hair's breadth away from kissing!

The girl's open mouth kept spewing a sticky, ink-like black liquid, spraying all over Lu Chengfeng's face.

"What the hell is this?" Lu Chengfeng hurriedly drew his gun and pressed it against the forehead of the wax figure.

He pulled the trigger.

With a "Bang!", a gunshot rang out, and he could only feel many long, strip-like objects splashing out, dense and numerous, as if they were tens of thousands of maggots.

The wax figure of the girl died instantly, and the corpse slammed into Lu Chengfeng, knocking him to the ground.

A mixture of flesh and wax oil kept flowing out of the large hole in its forehead, smelling absolutely foul!

Lu Chengfeng shoved the wax figure away, discarded his helmet, and crawled toward the wall.

In the darkness, countless ghostly hands instantly reached out, grabbing his joints and twisting them with force.

They were "creaking" as they tried to twist his head around.

Jiang Xinyi, holding a candle, immediately rushed up, pulled out a dagger, and stabbed it into one of the ghostly hands!

The blade pierced through the ghostly hand, and wisps of white smoke rose up.

The ghostly shadows that followed closely behind were dispersed by the candlelight and immediately fled in all directions.

"Officer Lu, are you okay?" Jiang Xinyi handed him a candle.

Lu Chengfeng panted heavily, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with an ugly expression, "I'm fine, I just feel like throwing up."

"Damn it! I was too panicked just now and forgot to take a candle."

He then reached out and pointed at the female corpse in the distance that he had shot in the head, "The wax figure just came back to life, did you all see that?"

Jiang Xinyi shook her head, "No, we only saw you suddenly pick up the wax figure and grab its hands to choke your own neck."

Lu Chengfeng frowned upon hearing this.

"Could it be that I was hallucinating?"

Over on Chen Mo's side, he successfully found the wax figure at row 6, column 12.

It was a wax figure of a young boy about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a set of old, ragged linen clothes, with coarse facial features and a sallow, thin face.

Placing the candle on the wooden table in front of the boy, Chen Mo also carefully examined the boy's entire body.

Likewise, he discovered nothing.

"Strange." Chen Mo stood up, held his chin, and carefully looked around the wax figure a few more times.

He also looked at the situation on Lu Chengfeng's side.

He saw that Lu Chengfeng, with a pale face, had been pulled back and had re-entered the circle of candlelight.

However, the wax figure that Lu Chengfeng had been searching had truly been blasted with a large hole by a bullet.

[Lao Ba: This is a sign that the ghost is coming, damn! If Many Children Many Blessings and the others continue to stay here, it will be dangerous!]

[Blooming Chrysanthemum: That ghost can cause people to hallucinate, making them think the wax figures can come to life, which is why that police officer became so panicked.]

[Sunny Turns Cloudy: As long as it is a place it has been to, the wax figures can come to life, which allows us to determine if the ghost is nearby.]

[Disturbing the Moon: Why were we also affected by the hallucination? Aren't we Administrators? I clearly saw the wax figure come to life just now too!]

[Break Up With Math: Little Moon, it's because the ghost in this dungeon is very strong, much stronger than Vincent, and perhaps... even stronger than us!]

[Break Up With Math: There were originally items to counter the ghost that could allow players to directly gain the strength to fight it, but now that the dungeon has mutated, I don't know if those things still exist.]

[Break Up With Math: Anyway... let's see what Many Children Many Blessings can find.]

Seeing the messages in the Management Group, Chen Mo knew the situation was very dire.

It proved that the ghost, which had never been seen before, was about to appear.

Whether the wax figures came to life could determine if it was nearby.

One of the demon sculptures was missing.

If something with that kind of appearance were to appear before Chen Mo, he would only want to say one thing.

"After seeing something so terrifying, I inexplicably feel that Teacher Vincent is truly handsome!"

The wax figure on Lu Chengfeng's side probably didn't have any clues.

Then the answer must come from his side.

"Perhaps... I should use the candle."

Chen Mo held the candle and circled the candle flame around the face of the young boy's wax figure.

As the temperature rose, the wax oil on the surface began to melt slightly.

Especially the young boy's two eyes; they were like cracked eggs, instantly rolling out from their sockets.

Meng Zhou walked out from the crowd and came to Chen Mo's side.

He asked, "Chen Mo, haven't you found it yet?"

"I'm looking."

"I'll help you."

As he said this, Meng Zhou also raised his candle, using the weak wick to heat the head of the wax figure.

Chen Mo heated the wax figure while keeping an eye on Meng Zhou with his peripheral vision.

It all felt a bit strange.

This guy Meng Zhou was actually offering to help; this was clearly different from his usual persona.

Although the two were within arm's reach, Chen Mo kept his nerves taut, prepared for Meng Zhou to attack him at any moment, and had measures in place to counterattack.

However, after Meng Zhou's arm heated along the chin of the boy's wax figure.

The chin of the originally tightly sealed wax face suddenly loosened, and the mouth opened.

A scroll was spat out from the other's throat.

The scroll was wrapped very tightly; the paper was yellow and looked quite new.

Meng Zhou seemed to want to reach out and grab the scroll, but Chen Mo's hand was faster. He grabbed the scroll and walked toward the crowd.

He showed everyone the item he had just obtained and immediately said, "Everyone, take your candles now, let's hurry back to the Dormitory!"

Everyone walked quickly out of the church.

Chen Mo just wanted to open his tablet to check the location of the karst cave.

As a result, Su Qing suddenly hid behind him, pressed her palms onto his shoulders, and said tremblingly, "Ch-Chen Mo, the wax figures have come to life!"

Looking in the direction Su Qing was pointing.

Chen Mo saw that the wax figures in the town, which had originally been motionless, were now walking toward them with eerie steps.

Among them were many disgusting wax figures, such as fish men and Toad Men.

Everyone immediately stood back-to-back.

Walking out of the church and through a small block, they reached the intersection within the town.

Looking around in a circle.

The four paths currently were all densely packed with wax figures, which had already surrounded them completely.
