Chapter 127 Mermaid Elegy and Werewolf (17) “You also know…
Johnson's pupils suddenly contracted, and the feeling of suffocation brought by the shock stimulated his desire to survive. Hyun Chi seized the opportunity to let him go, and he immediately turned around and ran.
When he turned around, he was met with Aurelia's half-rotten face.
"..." After three seconds of silence, Johnson screamed heartbreakingly, "Ahhh!!!"
Johnson rushed out of the bedroom and tripped over the carpet as he entered the living room. He tried to get up, but his hands were stuck to the carpet.
He desperately tried to pull his hands up, but saw the carpet between his hands began to surge, just like the bedroom ceiling just now.
Suddenly, he looked up at the mirror on the far wall and saw Aurelia's rotting corpse crawling towards him in a twisted manner. Next to the corpse, there was a dark shadow with a vague outline, also approaching quietly.
Johnson was so frightened that he tried harder to pull out his hands that were sucked on the carpet. The carpet in front of him was shaking more and more violently. The outline of a human face emerged. As if sensing Johnson's efforts, the face showed a mocking smile.
Suddenly, Johnson's right hand left the carpet without warning.
This made Johnson overjoyed. He looked in the mirror again and immediately used his right hand to pull out his left hand. At the same time, he caught a glimpse of cold light in his peripheral vision.
A knife made of high-quality material appeared next to it. The blade was very thin and was specially used for cutting sashimi.
Johnson glanced at them without giving them much thought, continuing to struggle to break free, but to no avail. When he looked back into the mirror, the two ghosts behind him were only a few steps away, and the face in the carpet before him had become a complete head, about to break free.
Johnson's joy from a moment ago disappeared in an instant. In desperation, he tried to find another way out, so he reached out to pull the edge of the carpet, trying to pick up the entire carpet and escape.
But the carpet, which was originally spread flat on the ground, now seemed to be stuck tightly and could not be picked up at all.
Johnson noticed the knife again and immediately grabbed it to pry the carpet apart, but quickly realized it was useless.
In a flash, he thought of his hands.
When his eyes fell on the back of his left hand, Johnson swallowed hard.
…The fleeting thought made him shudder, but it was indeed the only obstacle to his escape from the carpet.
After a brief hesitation, Johnson gripped the knife handle, closed his eyes, and brought the knife close to his wrist.
Si Ling folded his arms and floated behind the two mermaid-disguised evil spirits: "Slow down but don't stop completely. Force him to take action."
As she spoke, she looked up at the SAN value bar above Johnson's head: 30%.
With her magic power, this number is likely enough to kill them directly, but she never minds scaring these villains a little more.
Johnson hardened his heart and quickly cut through the skin. When the blade touched the flesh and nerves, he let out a howl like a pig being slaughtered.
Blood oozed from his wrists like scarlet ribbons. Johnson cried bitterly, but he looked at the mirror from time to time and could only harden his heart and continue cutting.
Si Ling looked at him indifferently. She really hoped that Johnson could think of the mermaid she had tortured at this moment, but she also understood that she could not expect such a person to regret it.
So she just watched indifferently, and several invisible mermaids watched in the same indifferently.
Soon, Johnson felt the blade touch bone, but it was nearly impossible to cut bone with this kind of knife. He panicked and looked in the mirror again. Aurelia was still a few steps away from him, but the dark figure was already behind him, reaching out to him.
Johnson took the risk, raised the knife and chopped off the wrist, not daring to stop even though the blood and small pieces of flesh splattered out and dyed his vision red.
After a few strokes, the thin blade bent, and Johnson was on the verge of despair, but then he saw another knife appear in his sight.
That knife was much more rugged in style, a bone-chopping knife.
Johnson didn't have time to think, he grabbed the knife and slashed at his left wrist.
"Crack" and "pop", the sounds of broken bones and ruptured blood vessels rang out at the same time, and Johnson finally got off the carpet.
He immediately rushed towards the door, but at this moment, the struggling soul in the carpet stretched out a hand and grabbed his ankle.
"Ah!" Johnson fell to the ground, kicked the hand away quickly, and continued to run towards the gate.
The moment he rushed out of the door, he held his breath, fearing that the previous experience would repeat itself, but this time he did not experience any difficulties and successfully got out of the door.
The hallway was lit in warm yellow light. To the right was the elevator, to the left was the stairwell. Several bodyguards were already dead, each with a look of terror, their eyes wide open. But Johnson couldn't care less. He rushed to the elevator and frantically pressed buttons. When he saw the upward arrow and the number "1" light up on the panel, he turned decisively and ran to the stairwell.
He staggered down, not daring to look back or stop. There were 19 flights of stairs in total. When he had run nearly half the distance, he relaxed a little. Joy began to grow again, and he felt that he had hope of escaping death again.
A few minutes later, Johnson successfully rushed to the first floor.
The first floor was just a grand lobby with almost no shelter, so as soon as Johnson rushed out of the stairwell, he saw the sunlight filtering through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The double glass doors were just over ten meters away, and he couldn't help but smile as he rushed towards the bright light that symbolized hope.
He pushed the door open and was about to take a breath when an invisible hand grabbed his throat fiercely.
Johnson suddenly suffocated, and before he could think, the invisible force had already grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
He lifted his feet off the ground and struggled mightily. Suddenly, he heard the door behind him open. He tried his best to scream for help: "Help..."
Si Ling relaxed a little, and Johnson was able to turn his head and see the mermaids walking out of the gate.
"Help..." He pleaded for help, but they looked at him unmoved, their faces so cold that no emotion could be seen.
"Help...me!" Johnson persevered and squeezed out another sentence. Si Ling shook his head, appeared in front of him, and said politely in English: "Good afternoon, Mr. Fisher."
Johnson trembled all over and turned his gaze back. Seeing the Asian face in front of him with a half-smile, he opened his mouth and said, "Who are you..."
Si Ling tilted her head slightly, ignoring his question: "Are you wondering why you won in Werewolf, but still ended up like this?"
Johnson wanted to say yes, but he was too afraid to even nod.
Si Ling lowered his eyes and smiled leisurely: "Because this is already a dead end. My goal is to kill you, what's the point of you struggling?"
She paused. "Just like the mermaids who once struggled to survive your torture."
Johnson's eyes suddenly widened, and he opened his mouth to confess and beg for mercy, but Si Ling didn't want to listen to his nonsense. He suddenly turned around and raised his hand, and Johnson was thrown out with a scream, and his body drew an arc in the air.
Seeing this, Xuan Chi swung his halberd forward once. With the sound of flesh breaking, Johnson, whose SAN value plummeted, was pierced through the body. He looked down at the sharp blade that stabbed out from his chest in disbelief, and blood spurted out of his mouth. He finally died.
Xuan Chi cast a spell to retract the halberd, and Johnson's body fell to the ground, his eyes still wide open.
Xuan Chi raised an eyebrow and looked at Si Ling: "Can you notify me in advance next time?"
Si Ling smiled and said, "Sorry, the inspiration just came to me."
After saying that, she took out the sound transmission talisman and asked the others, "I'm done here, how are you all doing?"
Replies from several people came through the sound transmission note one after another, indicating that the target had been solved, while some were still on the task and had to wait a little longer.

Hohenzollernburg.
Xie Bian had been in the principal's office for a day and a night. Lucifer didn't mind him staying here, but the anxiety he showed made Lucifer very uneasy.
...For the past day, Xie Bian had alternately paced back and forth in his living room, sat on the sofa, and kept checking his watch. In reality, Lucifer had already told him that Si Ling and Xuan Chi were out on a mission, and the end time of the mission was completely uncertain, so there was no practical point in him checking his watch.
Then his subconscious behavior seems to be out of anxiety.
In the first few hours, Lucifer subtly inquired several times about his concerns. Xie Bian initially remained silent, but then, perhaps feeling that this was rude, he said, "Principal, please forgive my disrespect, but this is an internal matter of the Eastern God Realm and must be kept confidential."
Lucifer had no choice but to stop asking.
At five in the evening, Lucifer saw the screen of the Tongming disk light up, and a series of notifications appeared. He picked up the Tongming disk and learned that the mission against the Fisher family had been fully explained.
He stood up from his desk and said to Xie Bian apologetically, "I have to go out to do something. Mr. Xie is very familiar with the school, so please feel free to come."
Xie Bian immediately stood up and asked, "Are we going to pick them up?"
Lucifer hesitated for a moment, but finally admitted, "Yes."
Xie Bian immediately asked: "If it's convenient, I would like to go see them together."
"Oh, this..." Lucifer said awkwardly, feeling a little worried. "I also have to go meet the mermaids. If something goes wrong..."
"Nothing will go wrong." Xie Bian quickly assured, "I will wait until you finish dealing with the affairs of the academy before discussing this matter with them. It won't cause any trouble. I want to go with you only because I want to resolve this as soon as possible. I swear."
Lucifer frowned slightly and looked at him with a complicated expression.
Xie Bian's impatience made him uneasy. They had dealt with each other numerous times over the past few hundred years, and he had never seen Xie Bian act this way. He also knew that Xie Bian held a high position in the Eastern Underworld, and this impatience made him worry that the problems Xie Bian was bringing would pose a danger to the West.
Although Xie Bian was anxious, his tone of assurance was sincere, which made Lucifer want to do him a favor out of kindness. After all, they were old acquaintances.
Lucifer thought it over again and again, and finally asked him: "Can you guarantee that this matter will not cause trouble for the Ghost Academy and the Western God Realm? After all, you know—" Lucifer lowered his eyes, "Satan has disliked me for a long time."
"I promise..." Xie Bian almost blurted out, but after thinking about it carefully, the chill in his heart made him change his words to a more rigorous one, "I promise that this matter only involves Si Ling and Xuan Chi, and has nothing to do with any members of the Ghost Academy or the Western God Realm."
He paused, then shrugged casually, "You know that when they were both born, the Western God Realm didn't even exist."
