Please breed an escape boss! [unlimited]

stunned.

Tian Xing and Chen Ketian were dumbfounded, always feeling that they were dreaming.

It wasn't until a muddy red paper figure blew from the entrance of the alley and hit their feet that they woke up.

Tian Xing: "Xia, Brother Xia..."

Yin Changxia raised his head slightly, the shape of his eyes always gave people a sense of innocence: "Huh?"

The distance from the end of the alley to the middle of the alley was seven or eight meters, and the sound seemed to be carried by a dark wind, which made the two of them feel creepy.

Tian Xing almost knelt down to him, and shouted without tears: "That's a ghost, how can you be a boy!"

Yin Changxia: "So we're negotiating."

Tian Xing: "..."

Chen Ketian: "..."

Chen Ketian was too ashamed and indignant to stay any longer thinking of how he was being framed by the ghost woman and Su Yuan.

Every time they play games, they put in a lot of hard work, which is why they are slightly better than ghosts.

How could she be as coquettish as Yin Changxia!

How dare you discuss with the ghosts who are at odds with the players?

Chen Ketian asked tremblingly: "You guys... used to clear the game like this?"

"Don't get involved with me."

Tian Xing was terrified, "I'm a normal person!"

Chen Ketian: "..."

Tian Xing cried enviously: "If I could scare the ghosts into screaming, you would have to call me an A-level boss now, why would I be as anonymous as I am now?"

So... Only Yin Changxia is special?

Chen Ketian's heart was beating so fast that he could hardly move his eyes away, his gaze was always on Yin Changxia.

Curiosity, amazement, admiration.

Various emotions swirled in Chen Ketian's mind.

He wanted to see, what would Yin Changxia do next?

in case……

If Yin Changxia is really powerful, Chen Ketian doesn't mind telling him about the ghost woman and Su Yuan.

The ears are full of howling wind, which makes the camphor trees rustle.

The tree shadow was elongated by the light of several lanterns, and fell on Yin Changxia's mask, making the already ugly angry face look extraordinarily ferocious.

Fearing Ghost was stepped on by Yin Changxia's face, and the face under the mask was distorted: "Who is going to help you as an internal response? You are dreaming!"

Without a soul, his thinking became more single-celled.

I thought that the body would be planted on Xu Mo's body, and I would use his flesh and blood to feed myself back, so I would be much less affected by the nourishing physique.

But the moment he saw Yin Changxia, Fear of Ghosts still couldn't stand it.

His self-control is not strong at all.

Ghost King!

How can I know that there is no desire?

Yin Changxia: "You don't even want to talk about it?"

Frightening Ghost's eyes were full of malice: "Who wants to talk to you? You were lucky enough to win before, but it was because of you relying on Guigu and Zongtan. Now he is no longer by your side..."

"I am a person, if I can't get it, I will be destroyed."

Yin Changxia stretched out his hands, squeezed the mask from both sides, and threatened with a hideous expression, "It seems that the only thing I can do is destroy you..."

He is the ghost! !

He was bullied by a living person.

Is his ghost's dignity gone?

Fearing Ghost's eyes were about to burst, and he really wanted to kill Yin Changxia.

It can be imagined that Yin Changxia has a physique of nourishing spirits, and now it is not as good as before, and his lifespan is very sufficient, and he is reluctant to fear ghosts.

Don't be provoked, you have to hold Yin Changxia for 10 minutes!

The ghost yelled, "Xu Mo, you trash, why don't you stand up quickly?"

Even though Ah Ai and Qin Feng have reached a cooperation, they want to help Qin Feng become the half-ghost king tonight.But they were still selfish and did not tell about Yin Changxia's spiritual physique.

Otherwise, how could Qin Feng look far away?

A half-ghost king can make them think hard, let alone a more powerful ghost king!

Xu Mo lowered his head, his face was full of burn marks, and the eye patch was deeply embedded in his flesh, becoming a part of his cheek.

As if he didn't hear the words of the ghost, he kept talking to himself.

"Why...Lu Ziheng is already an A-level player. He used the authority of the examiner to give me a chance to pay 30 years of Yangshou. Why won't he take another look at me?"

Xu Mo failed to return home.

He failed to inoculate the ghost seed, and was parasitized by the fear of ghosts, becoming a human being and a ghost not a ghost.

The game does not recognize him as a player, so naturally he cannot return home.

After successfully completing the registration game, Xu Mo has been wandering in this world, so naturally he couldn't hear the news from his homeland.

He just secretly speculated that Yin Changxia has only experienced two or three games at most, how good can he be?Can he still surpass the half-ghost king?

Furthermore...

When Qin Feng found Ai Gui, he also gave Xu Mo a chance. He already hated his current ghost appearance.

He wanted to die in Yin Changxia's hands!

When you die, you have a lot of resentment, which will directly affect your level after death.

For him, death is not something to fear, but a new life.

Fearing the ghost gritted his teeth, knowing that Xu Mo could no longer be counted on, he could only insult him: "If you couldn't find a host, with your qualifications, would you have been selected by Ah Ai?"

Xu Mo: "..."

Fear of ghosts: "Even the ghost species can't be vaccinated, it's all your fault!"

Xu Mo had been insulted by him for a long time, and he didn't want to be swallowed up by the ghosts, so he had to endure it all.

die quickly.

Why can't you die?

As long as he becomes a stronger ghost, he will be able to return all of this doubled.

Xu Mo looked at Yin Changxia, and a strong longing suddenly burst out in his dull eyes: "If you don't kill me, I will never be at odds with you!"

Xu Mo stood up and resisted, and used props to copy the weapon in his hand again.

He had already been cut off by Yin Changxia and the ghost power of fearing ghosts, so he could no longer use that trick to create a large number of mountains of knives.

And yet he still has hands!

Countless small knives tied with red silk were copied and scattered on the ground like snowflakes.

Xu Mo picked up a few at random, and stabbed Yin Changxia as if he was not afraid of death: "Kill me!"

Xu Mo laughed wildly, his voice echoed in the night, very shrill.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

A counterattack at this time is like a cat's paw scratching an itch, and Yin Changxia can easily subdue it.

He didn't do anything, and kept avoiding the light of the knife.

The vines of the heart of the giant tree grew bigger and weaved together with the camphor tree.

Yin Changxia hid in a narrower corner. Xu Mo attacked randomly, but was accidentally robbed of the weapon in his hand by the rapidly growing vines.

The rhythm of the attack was disrupted.

Xu Mo is looking for death!

Through the observation just now, Yin Changxia has realized that Xu Mo has a huge rift with Fear of Ghosts.

Yin Changxia took a few steps back and taunted him verbally: "What's the point of fighting back? The person who persecuted you the most is not me."

Xu Mo was blocked by vines with sharp barbs, and he was neither advancing nor retreating.

He scratched his cheek, the burned skin left a few scratches: "Woooo..."

He can't go back to the past.

But I just want to live.

But now that he looked like this, he would rather go to death as if he was going to the light.

Xu Mo: "Stop talking! What do you know? Only death can make me..."

Yin Changxia's eyes were deep, and he hit the nail on the head: "Do you want to die?"

Xu Mo: "..."

Yin Changxia finally understood.

Thinking of what I heard before, although Lu Ziheng's Pisces jade pendant is powerful, it can arouse great resentment when he dies. Qin Feng deliberately bumped into Lu Ziheng's gun, and had long planned to become a half-ghost king.

Xu Mo suddenly appeared in front of him, seemingly out of order, but in fact he was full of calculations.

Yin Changxia didn't feel any fear, but the excitement of finally understanding the other party's intentions.

Want to die in his hands and become a more powerful ghost?

He refuses to let it go!

Yin Changxia's eyebrows and eyes were raised, and he had switched from an angry face to a happy face, which further disintegrated Xu Mo's vigilance: "If you want to become a stronger ghost, I can help you."

Xu Mo, who was bound by vines, finally had some reactions.

Even though the Horror was sweeping the vines with his tongue, trying to corrupt the vines with a curse, it was not so fast.

Instead, the vine entangled the tongue, and the barbs cut it so that it was bloody.

The broken vine sap has a paralyzing toxin, which made the fear ghost speechless for a while, and could only stare round: "Oh!!"

"No matter how much resentment you accumulate, you are nothing more than an ordinary ghost. Even if you are more powerful than ordinary ghosts, how powerful can you be?"

Yin Changxia's voice reached Xu Mo's ears through the vines.

Xu Mo finally looked at him, and his breathing became disordered.

Even without the superimposition of the rose brooch, Ximian lost the effect of 'bewitching'.

But all ghosts will be affected by Ximian.

He needs to break down the opponent's defense a little bit.

It is no exaggeration to attack cities and conquer territories.

"Actually, there is no need to die in pain at my hands, but only one thing to do..."

Yin Changxia's eyes were dark, like a deep pool that could not be seen to the bottom, and his tone was full of bewitching meaning, "Use the knife stuck on the fear ghost to goug him out."

Gouged him out?

Those three words hit Xu Mo's heart heavily.

The leaves of the camphor tree flapped more violently, and the vines also twisted.

Blade and blade squeezed, and the attack was only aimed at the fear ghost, leaving only Xu Mo a chance to breathe.

Even Qi Feng, who had been watching the show, lost his composure and looked over there in surprise.

The smell of blood came to the face.

He is luring others into the abyss!

Fortunately, Yin Changxia has a bottom line, which is always used on the enemy.

Otherwise, change to another person, if abused...

Qi Feng didn't even dare to think about it!

Tian Xing's heart was pounding: "We, are we going to help Brother Xia?"

Qi Feng lowered his voice: "What he needs now is not military assistance. Have you seen Shi Yao over there? He is much closer than us, and he is restraining himself."

Tian Xing: "..."

Right.

Qi Feng: "Besides, you two, who has the ability to make ghosts self-harm?"

Tian Xing and Chen Ketian shook their heads together, their complexions suddenly turned white.

They dare not!

The yin around them became thicker, and when those silk-like black threads touched their skin, it was as dull and painful as a knife scraping.

The shroud on his body had been reduced to ashes, and the hem had been completely scorched, almost reaching the thigh.

time is limited.

Yin Changxia was not in a hurry, not even the slightest urging, as if quietly waiting for the prey to be caught.

He simulated Xu Mo's situation in his brain, trying to figure out what he wanted most at the moment.

Xu Mo was looking forward to becoming a powerful ghost after death.

Xu Mo naturally wanted revenge.

Myself, Lu Ziheng.

But the person he hates the most... should be turning him into a sad ghost and a ghost who is not a human, a ghost or a ghost!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought about dying early and separated from the ghost.

If he wants to live and chooses to cooperate with fear ghosts, the most urgent person to do it is himself.

Yin Changxia's smile deepened, he thought he had caught something that captured his defense.

"Do you want to be above the fear of ghosts?"

This question hits the core.

Xu Mo's eyelids twitched, and Yin Changxia's words aroused his deepest desire.

The horror in his belly struggled, and the newly grown body was bloody and bloody from the vines.

Xu Mo felt the pain of his internal organs being disturbed, as if someone had stabbed him into his stomach alive with thousands of blunt knives.

Xu Mo knew that this was the fear of ghosts warning him, so he gritted his teeth and said, "No..."

Yin Changxia: "Before answering this question, I advise you to think carefully. Once your answer is not what I want, I will stop talking nonsense to you."

Xu Mo: "..."

He is so arrogant!

This kind of rhetoric is like a powerful A-level player who can control the overall situation.

The fear ghost finally corroded a large section of the vine, and the curse overwhelmed the poison of the vine at this moment, and said through gritted teeth, "Trash, don't you... really want to listen to him?"

Xu Mo: "..."

"You see, that's how he scolded you."

Yin Changxia deliberately lowered his voice, "Waste, waste, waste..."

These two words were like an open mechanism, and Xu Mo finally couldn't help it. With deep resentment in his heart, he looked at the fear ghost with his eyes splitting.

At the same moment, Xu Mo reluctantly pulled out the golden dagger.

It was a prop made of scissors given by Pei Zheng, and it was extremely lethal to ghosts and ghosts.When Xu Mo touched the dagger, his palm made a sizzling sound, and he was burned after a while.

The smell of barbecue wafted over from him.

Xu Mo endured the severe pain, the veins on his face were bulging, and he went crazy at this moment: "I'm not a waste!"

In the next second, he inserted the dagger into his stomach.

Scary ghost: "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

Xu Mo didn't feel any pain when he stabbed the fear ghost just now.But now it is inserted into the place where they are connected, of course it is Xu Mo's own flesh and blood.

But the painful voice of the fear ghost made Xu Mo feel joyful and crazy amidst the pain and distortion.

He slashed, slashed, and slashed again and again, falling down repeatedly.

The blood sprinkled on the vines and splashed outwards, staining the green branches and leaves with a large bloodstain.

This scene made everyone tremble, their nerves were pulled into convulsions, and they didn't dare to watch it any longer.

Yin Changxia really succeeded?

Their brains were short-circuited as if they were overloaded, and they could no longer keep up with the rhythm.

He couldn't even guess what Yin Changxia was going to do.

The only thing that is certain is that without Yin Changxia, they would be the ones to be ravaged by ghosts tonight.

To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself.

Furthermore, that player has been taken as a host by a ghost, and he must be in pain day and night.

"It's really another kind of salvation..."

Qi Feng murmured.

The sky above the head is filled with thick dark clouds, and each cloud is filled with thick ink, so low that it seems that you can touch the chaotic darkness with your hand.

It is not only the sky that is about to fall, but also the hearts of the people.

"Look, nothing compares to the pleasure of revenge."

Yin Changxia's eyes fell on Fear Ghost, seeing that he was about to be completely gouged out by Xu Mo, "Little A Fear, let's discuss it, do you want to be a second-five boy?"

He laid the groundwork so much, and constantly stimulated his symbiont Xu Mo, so that's the idea?

Horror's face twisted: "I...no!"

Yin Changxia: "Don't worry, I won't count you and Ai Gui this time. My goal is very clear, that is Qin Feng, who knows nothing about heaven and earth, and wants to become a half-ghost king."

Horror: "..."

What was originally a particularly fierce rebuttal has also become a compromise.

The situation is too critical.

Xu Mo suddenly felt desperate.

The vines had been completely retracted, and the heart of the giant tree suppressed Yang Yu again.

The distance between the two is very close.

Yin Changxia walked towards him step by step.

The ghost's tongue attacked again, and he even summoned innocent souls to attack Yin Changxia.

However, this failed to stop Yin Changxia's footsteps at all, and the ghost bone penetrated the body of the wronged soul.

[Do you use the load? ]

[Yes. ]

With the deduction of one month of Yangshou, the wronged soul also turned into white fragments, and a soul orb quietly flew to Xia Yulan's side.

[Give interest first, if not, I'll feed it to Jiang Tingyun. ]

Xia Yulan: […]

Damn, who said he doesn't want it! ?

"Who gave you this wronged soul? Why don't you get a few more? I happen to have a group of hungry ones here..."

Yin Changxia's voice paused slightly, and he whispered in front of the ghost, "Half ghost king."

These three words stimulated the fear of ghosts, and he thought of Zong Tan who was dressed in red on the pool of resentment.

Such a raging and powerful force made it impossible for them to parry.

They thought they would be able to compete with Zong Tan by risking Qin Feng to become a half-ghost king, and they could also pray for cicadas and orioles to attack the truly rare spiritual nourishment physique.

who knows……

group?

What the hell did he hear!

Even if Yin Changxia lied and deliberately exaggerated, there should be another half-ghost king.

Just one Zong Tan is enough to become the shadow of their lives, but I didn't expect there to be another one.

What's the point of holding back Zong Tan?

Sooner or later, he will return to Yin Changxia's side.

Fearing the ghost's teeth trembling, he tasted the taste of fear again.

He was afraid of Zong Tan.

This fear runs deep into the marrow.

Xu Mo had already gouged out half of the ghost, but this time he struggled actively and got out of Xu Mo's body.

He didn't even dare to take the sleeping ghost in Xu Mo's body.

You must know this thing, but it is the core of being promoted to the half-ghost king and ghost king.

The Horror fled the place abruptly, only a head remained in his whole body, and when he was floating in mid-air, it looked like a human head balloon.

The scene of rushing like this frightened the people at the alley.

Tian Xing and Chen Ketian's legs felt weak, but they were still pulled by Qi Feng.

Qi Feng hurriedly looked in Yin Changxia's direction. They didn't hear some words at all. No matter what the process was, the result was that the fear ghosts were defeated.

Yin Changxia stood under the camphor tree, the lanterns on the eaves had been extinguished, and a large shadow was entangled with him.

Yin Changxia took off the happy face, and the face under the mask was not fear, but excitement and excitement.

[You have collected the majesty of the boss, making the ghosts surrender. ]

[1/100. ]

Not enough, not enough at all!

Yin Changxia narrowed his eyes, wanting more.

Since you want to scare ghosts, you have to scare them into crying.

Either don't do it, or do it well.

Too light and he would rather not.

Qi Feng's heart stopped suddenly, and it took a full three seconds to find his breathing.

"Yin Changxia..."

"Why on earth is he E-rank?"

Chen Ketian was well-informed, and he found out this information as early as at the Wuding Inn. It was not like everyone misunderstood, thinking that Yin Changxia should at least be a B-level.

However, at this moment, Chen Ketian was convinced.

Even if it is E-rank, so what?

Only by telling him the deal between Su Yuan and the hag unconditionally, can he find a chance of life in such a cruel game.

Frightened Ghost ran halfway, and directly crashed into Shi Yao's trap.

Shi Yao wiped the sweat off her forehead, blood dripped from her slender fingers: "Finally caught up."

The seven-star copper coin sword is woven into a net with the ink fountain thread.

Pretty!

Qi Feng, who watched the whole process, couldn't help shouting.

After all, it is a ghost level ghost. Even if its strength is slightly weakened, it is still difficult for them to deal with Master Wan. If they fight head-on and die, it is definitely not a wise choice to compromise their physical strength before the battle.

Yin Changxia's psychological oppression is the best choice.

It's just extremely difficult to operate.

After dismantling the defenses, what awaits the ghost is Shi Yao's carrier.

Not only Yin Changxia, Qi Feng wanted to applaud Shi Yao, the timing and coordination were perfect.

They had just subdued the ghost, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

And the dilapidated house in front lit up with faint blue flames, once again stealing everyone's attention.

Chen Ketian shouted: "Look over there!"

Yin Changxia frowned and looked over there.

Broken house!

This is the focus of tonight!

This could only be Zong Tan's own power. Even if Yin Changxia could borrow some of the ghost bones when using them, the purity was far inferior to Zong Tan's.

Zong Tan can stir up an entire sea of ​​flames, and Yin Changxia is a cluster of flames.

Those flames seemed to break through the darkness that bound the entire city, and soon burned down the dilapidated houses.

After the beams collapsed, a person dressed as a craftsman stood in the middle, and the Buddha statues in the dilapidated house could not be ignited by the will-o'-the-wisps, forming a protective circle.

When he appeared, a voice sounded in the minds of all players——

[Congratulations to all players, Strange Talk [-] has officially started. ]

[Please find out the murderer of the craftman's massacre before the end of July and a half. ]

The craftsman's head was wrapped with a Ge scarf, and his face was neither sad nor happy. It was clear that he was sheltered by the Buddha statue, and his heart should be bright.But inside the broken house, there are hundreds of ghosts.

"Woooo..."

"Let us out..."

The ghosts seemed to be bound by something, and each one began to cry.

Xu Mo clutched his stomach, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and said in a weak voice, "Although there are three days before the game is said to be July and a half, it should not exceed tonight."

Yin Changxia turned his head, his eyes darkened: "Is it because of Qin Feng?"

Xu Mo: "Ha... You guessed it right. He wants to sacrifice the players in the entire city, using the rules of appetite and love, to make the ghosts go crazy and slaughter the players, causing blood to flow here."

The birth of the half-ghost king requires the sacrifice of a whole city of players.

There was a storm in Yin Changxia's eyes, and he finally understood the meaning of appointing a boss.

He collected ghosts and monsters to compete with Qin Feng for time!

Xu Mo lay on the ground and laughed silently: "Even if... Qin Feng didn't do this, the craftsmen would go crazy after three days of searching for the murderer without success, which would distort this rule. Qin Feng is just Use him to advance this rule."

After listening to Xu Mo's words, Yin Changxia made up his mind.

"I won't let Qin Feng succeed, and he will never want to become a half-ghost king."

Xu Mo closed his eyes, feeling his body getting colder.

He just wanted to die faster, faster, to escape from this body.

at last……

Can be freed.

Even if it's not about courage, it's about pride.

It would have been nice if the ghost had been gouged out earlier.

The clouds in the sky are pressing down more and more, like a huge python, twisting and rolling where the head can touch.

Fearing Ghost has given up on robbing the spirit-raising physique, struggling violently in the net, just wants to pass the news to Ah Ai earlier, so that Ah Ai can know that he can no longer cooperate with Qin Feng!

Yin Changxia...

Zong Tan is not the only half ghost king in his hand!

"Shi Yao, be careful about ghosts."

After Yin Changxia left these words, he walked towards the craftsman.

The craftsman still held the Yin jade in his arms, his body had already been corroded by the Yin jade, but he still collected the evil spirits around him indifferently.

Qi Feng muttered to himself: "No wonder the core of the game will appear. It is rumored that the combination of the Yang jade and the Yin jade of the blood jade can lead to a game core..."

Not only that, but the reason for the space distortion on the other side of the broken house was also found.

With such a large number of innocent souls gathered, the intensity of Yin Qi is much more serious than other places.

Zong Tan's offensive became more intense, as if he had lost control, and the blue will-o'-the-wisp had already lit up the entire alley.

Ghost towns are dark enough to swallow even the lights.

On the contrary, these will-o'-the-wisps are breaking through the shackles of darkness.

However, the will-o'-the-wisp could not ignite the Buddha statue behind the craftsman to form a specific circle.Not long after, the Buddha statue continued to grow at this moment, ten meters, 20 meters, 30 meters, getting higher and higher.

The Buddha statue has compassionate eyebrows and a swastika engraved on its chest, but standing in such an environment, it feels like a layer of eerie terror is cast over it.

The craftsmen kept leaning back, and such a huge Buddha statue collapsed forward.

The golden body was shattered and stained with dust and mud.

Numerous broken stones have destroyed all the adjacent buildings.

A good alley has become like a ruined wall after a thousand years of abandonment.

The craftsman had already disappeared with the Yin jade. He took away a large number of wronged souls, but some of them remained to block their steps.

Zong Tan's eyebrows and eyes were as cold as glaciers: "Damn it!"

The destruction of the Buddha statue made all the ghosts more ferocious.

Yin Changxia was about to chase after him, but a voice came from behind him.

Chen Ketian: "Stop chasing him, I know where he's going!"

It seems that Chen Ketian should have a lot of information in his hands?

Yin Changxia turned his head and looked at him with a twinkle in his eyes, as if he didn't believe it.

"I'm telling the truth!" Chen Ketian revealed some information in order to convince Yin Changxia, "The Buddha statue destroyed by the craftsman was carved by him himself, and there is another one in the south of the city."

Yin Changxia: "..."

At the same time, the unjust souls above became more ferocious. After the Buddha statue was destroyed, even the fearful ghosts rushed to the Mo Dou net desperately, as if they had fallen into a state of madness.

Under the repeated impact of the ghosts, the ink bucket net was finally broken, and the group of innocent souls gathered together.

Qi Feng couldn't hold back either, and took a few steps forward: "Retreat first!"

Too many ghosts.

Chen Ketian was also in a hurry: "Don't delay, say they haven't gone mad yet!"

No matter how powerful the strength is, they are outnumbered!

"More than 100...it saves me the trouble of looking for them, they are really considerate."

Yin Changxia put all his attention here, ignored it at all, but looked up at the huge group of ghosts.

He separated the heart of the giant tree and the blood jade with his own hands, and a red light suddenly appeared, dyeing his cheeks like a ghost, revealing the evil spirit of the blood jade.

Yin jade nourishes the soul, and Yang jade suppresses the soul.

Since the ghosts in this large area are all attracted by the yin jade, they will naturally be suppressed by the yang jade.

Fearing ghosts has no ghost power to escape, and after planning to devour a few unjust souls, he left as soon as he had a little strength.

However, the moment Yang Yu was taken out, he had already missed this opportunity.

All the ghosts present, how dare they go berserk?

They huddled their bodies and reported to each other for warmth, wishing they could escape from this place as soon as possible.The resentment aroused in his heart because of the Buddha statue also immediately subsided at this moment.

Help!

The sky and the earth are vast, the distance has been pulled extremely far, and there are wreckage around.

In such an incomplete and gloomy environment, Yin Changxia seems to be integrated with the whole dark scene.

"You have only one option."

Yin Changxia's voice was resounding, resounding in the long night, "surrender to me."
