Chapter 23: The Invisible Girl
The six people became alert instantly. In this kind of place and in this kind of scene, the sudden crying sound seemed strange and abrupt.
Jiang Jie used the long tip of his gun to gently push open the half-open door. A girl with a bun on her hair was leaning against the corner with her hands on her knees and her head buried between them. Her shoulders were still twitching.
Hearing the footsteps, she seemed to be frightened and her body trembled.
She seemed to muster up the courage to raise her head, her clear eyes were moist, her fair face was pretty and charming, looking like a pear blossom in the rain.
She looked around and finally looked at Rong Xianxian with a sad face, "Sister, save me! I'm so scared."
"Are you alone? Those people outside are..." Rong Xianxian wanted to ask how those people outside died? Seeing the girl's trembling body, she suddenly felt that it might not be appropriate to ask this question.
Rong Xianxian was afraid of touching the girl's fragile nerves and didn't know how to start.
“Wow,” the girl cried softly again, sounding as if she was suppressing a huge sadness, “They are all dead, all dead, I am the only one left.”
Cui Lie frowned unconsciously. He and Rong Xianxian looked at each other. If her companions were all dead, how did she survive? Since she had the ability to survive, why didn't she leave? The gates here were all broken. If the monsters came, there was no way to resist them.
Rong Xianxian had a headache. It was obviously impossible to take her with them. They were in danger themselves. And this seemed a bit weird.
Just as they were thinking about how to refuse without seeming too blunt, there was a gurgling sound, and a head with wide-open eyes rolled in front of everyone.
Jiang Jie screamed "Ah!" and jumped to move backward. Those eyes were facing him. Even though he had seen a lot of blood recently, he still got goose bumps at the sight.
The girl jumped up suddenly, with tears still on her face. She opened her mouth wide, looking surprised. Then she frowned and lowered her head, as if thinking about something.
The curtain hanging on the wall behind was pulled down forcefully.
"Mmmm," the sound seemed to be made by a person.
The curtain was not pulled down by someone, but was smashed down by someone. The person who was smashed down with the curtain was in tattered clothes, his body was tied up like a stick, his exposed parts were covered in bruises, his face was swollen, his hair was disheveled, there was something stuffed in his mouth, and his cheeks were bulging.
Wang Qirui is a kind-hearted young man. He just felt sorry for the little girl, but when he saw the man who was suspected to be tied up and abused, he couldn't help himself.
He strode up to the man and pulled out the thing blocking his mouth. What he pulled out was a tattered towel with a bloody tooth on it.
The man who thought he was saved burst into tears. He twisted his body like a bug and cried, "Save me, please take me away quickly. This woman is crazy. The reason why those people outside died is that she let the monster in."
Rong Xianxian made a gesture, signaling others to prepare to withdraw.
Wang Qirui called out "Sister Rong" in a low voice, and seemed to have something else to say. Wang Lin kicked him from behind, signaling him to leave quickly.
"Wait, you can't just leave like this, you can't just stand by and watch someone die." The man who was tied up like a dumpling saw them leaving and started shouting neurotically, his voice filled with fear and panic.
"Those people outside were really killed by this woman. I didn't lie to you, wuwuwu." A man's desperate cry came from behind, and then his mouth was blocked again.
Wang Qirui resisted the urge to turn back, his steps heavy. He asked Rong Xianxian unwillingly, "Sister Rong, why didn't you save him?"
"We don't even know what happened, so why should we stand up for justice? Even if what the man said is true, why did the girl do that? Could it be that those people did something excessive to the girl? We don't know anything, but we still go to seek justice. What if those people deserve it? We are not a law enforcement agency. We don't have the right to judge right and wrong." Rong Xianxian didn't want to get into trouble. She always felt that something bad was going to happen. She just wanted to fill up the gas quickly and go home.
Four empty oil drums were found in the tool room. The previous group of people probably came to get oil. The locks on the oil tanks had been pried open. Jiang Jie found a pipe, put one end of the pipe into the oil tank, sucked hard at the other end, then put it into the oil drum and waited.
Rong Xianxian went out on the pretext of being on guard and checked the three damaged cars. Sure enough, she found full oil barrels in the trunks of the three cars. In the trunks of the three cars, she found six barrels of oil and some other snacks. Rong Xianxian quietly put them into the sachet and returned to the oil tank.
When the oil barrels were full, Xia Kai and Wang Qirui each carried two barrels of oil, and the six of them prepared to go back.
The crying girl just now stood expressionlessly at the door of the small supermarket, gave them a weird smile, and threw the thing hidden behind her back at them. Jiang Jie subconsciously shot the thing away.
It was an arm that was still bleeding, and after a hole was pierced by the spear, more blood was flowing.
Rong Xianxian made a warning gesture, Xia Kai and Wang Qirui put down the oil drums in their hands, and the six people took a defensive posture.
"Awooo" a group of hyena-like monsters surrounded them, there seemed to be seven or eight of them.
Rong Xianxian breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of agile small monster generally has a low defense, and it is not difficult to deal with it as long as it is not a sneak attack.
It seems that the powerful and difficult monsters have been attracted away by the noise from the school. A group of these monsters with more than 20 in number is quite difficult to deal with, but this group only has seven or eight of them, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Jiang Jie's spear was like a swimming dragon, Cui Lie's hand flashed with cold light, and Wang Lin's machete was as fierce as the wind. The six people stood in formation and fought back to back. Suddenly, Rong Xianxian's pupils shrank, and she noticed from the corner of her eye that the girl who was being chased by a monster suddenly disappeared.
That girl can turn invisible? Why did she suddenly disappear? No wonder she dared to attract the monster.
The monster, having lost its target, turned around and pounced on the six people. Unfortunately, the monster was not strong enough and in a short while it turned into eight corpses and contributed six balls of light.
Only the first batch of monsters that land will drop precious items and top-level skills, while the monsters that land later will only drop ordinary items, ordinary skills, or even nothing.
It all depends on luck, and this time Rong Xianxian and the others were quite lucky.
Seeing that all the monsters were solved, Wang Qirui happily grabbed a ball of light in his hand. In his hand was a brush, which seemed to be for Sister Rong. She was often seen using the brush to draw those weird things.
There was a slight "puff" sound, and his back suddenly hurt. He seemed to hear Sister Rong shouting at him, "Be careful behind you." The voice was so far away!
The girl who had been so pitiful before, now had a face full of resentment. She held a bloody knife in her hand and stared at them, "You all deserve to die. You watched those thugs bully me and did nothing. You obviously had the ability, but you watched me die without helping. You all deserve to die."
Before she finished her words, the person had disappeared.
Rong Xianxian made a hand gesture, and the other four people dispersed. Rong Xianxian protected Wang Qirui behind her, activated the Soul-Calming Bell, and attacked in the direction where the girl had just disappeared. A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out in the air. Rong Xianxian pointed to the pool of blood on the ground and said, "Make a small circle and chop her."
The four people launched intensive attacks, covering the circle. Some of the attacks missed, while others could be clearly felt to be bounced off.
In just a moment, with a "pop" sound, a glass bead rolled to Rong Xianxian's feet, and the girl appeared with a pale face.
