Chapter 1256 The Returnee's Notes 330
The opponent was very fast, and their attacks were completely unpredictable.
Xie Ning no longer just dodged, but took the initiative to attack. After dodging the opponent's attack, he kicked the opponent in the back of the knee, and then grabbed the child's shoulders with both hands and pulled him back to the right.
In this way, they would basically lose their balance and fall backward to the ground, but the child seemed not to feel the pain. Even though Xie Ning kicked his knees, he still smiled straight at Xie Ning and then used Xie Ning's strength to flip forward.
The foot landed directly on Xie Ning's shoulder, as if trying to strangle her head.
"Meow—" Black Egg was so anxious it was running around in circles, but it couldn't get close enough to him.
Xie Ning immediately let go, grabbed the other person's leg instead, and then slammed him to the ground.
She was incredibly strong; an ordinary person's bones would have broken long ago, but the child didn't seem to be as badly injured as the floor.
Xie Ning took a breath and, before the child could lash out again, pressed the gun against the child's head and pulled the trigger.
"Bang--"
The gun with the silencer wasn't very loud. Xie Ning looked at the child lying on the ground, whose eyes were still wide open. There was a bloody hole in the center of his forehead, but not much blood was flowing out.
"It's no use..."
Xie Ning took a step back, and the child who had been shot instantly stood up, smiling as he looked at Xie Ning, glancing at the scratches on her arms and legs. "I won't die, you're too weak."
Compared to before, his voice was noticeably sharper, as if he were excited.
"Yeah?"
Since it was determined that physical attacks were ineffective against the child, Xie Ning drew her sword, a magical weapon that she rarely used.
Fine flashes of lightning appeared, and the smile on the child's face slowly disappeared. He sensed a threat and instinctively took a step back. "What is that?"
Even the peach wood sword didn't exude such a terrifying aura in him.
Just as he turned to flee, the Soul Umbrella slowly rotated and opened behind him, and the bells hanging on it rang. The child, who had turned around, was momentarily stunned, and Xie Ning's sword had already slashed down.
Miraculously, the sword sliced across the child's neck but did not harm his body; instead, it brought out a black spirit.
"How is this possible?!"
The black spirit screamed in disbelief, but Xie Ning ignored it, instead casting a spell and unleashing a bolt of lightning.
Silence fell. The cat walked to Xie Ning's side and gently rubbed against her injured spot.
"Thanks."
Upon hearing Xie Ning's words, a muffled voice came from the Soul Umbrella, "You're welcome."
It's Wu Yaodong. He was originally a Mirror Spirit. He's temporarily freed from the control of the person behind him, but he still retains his original abilities.
The Soul Umbrella that just blocked that person's retreat did not actually exist; it was merely a phantom. The real Soul Umbrella was in Xie Ning's hands, but it was enough to use that phantom to block the opponent for a moment.
Xie Ning crouched down to examine the child's body. In just a few short seconds, the body, which had looked like a normal person just moments before, had decomposed beyond recognition, and a strong stench of decay filled the air.
Xie Ning took out the key, recited a few words of scripture, and then turned and went downstairs to open the basement door.
At first, she couldn't figure out exactly what was strange about the child. It was only during the fight that she discovered the soul inside the child's body wasn't the original owner's, but rather something that had been inserted into the body later through some unknown means.
This body is the container.
It was a container that had been dead for a long time. Xie Ning remembered that the old lady had mentioned such a thing in the book she had given her. If it looked like a child, it should be called a ghost child.
To create such a ghost child, several souls are extracted and stuffed into it, allowing them to devour each other until the strongest one remains to occupy the body.
It is somewhat similar to some methods of raising venomous insects.
Xie Ning's gaze fell on the iron gate below. The commotion here was so loud, she wondered if the people inside had noticed, but no matter what, she had to go down and investigate.
Because there is no way to avoid it.
He stopped in front of the door. The cat, which he thought was already dead, stood up shakily. Hei Dan went over and licked its wounds, then meowed softly a few times.
Then it turned back and looked up at Xie Ning, as if it wanted Xie Ning to save it.
Xie Ning took out some medicine and bandages from her bag and bandaged the kitten, only to discover that the kitten was actually a pregnant female cat.
What a terrible thing to do.
"Don't be afraid, you'll survive."
However, Xie Ning did not consider taking the kitten with her. After all, the kitten was too badly injured and was definitely not suitable to go down with her. Moreover, she herself did not know what the situation was like inside, so it was better not to take the risk.
The cat was quite well-behaved, just huddled next to the small basket by the door, staring at Xie Ning with its emerald-green eyes. The basket was full of mangled corpses. Xie Ning looked away slightly, focusing on opening the door.
