Chapter 40 Chapter 40 (1/5)



Xiao Tangqiu hit himself so hard that he felt dizzy and his eyes went black. His face was covered in warm blood and his mouth was filled with the rusty taste of blood. He was terrified. If this continued, he would hit himself to death!

Tang Mianmian was also in a bad situation. Her face was covered in blood but she was still banging her head against the wall. Xiao Tangqiu tried hard to move towards Tang Mianmian, but his body was completely out of his control. Instead, it became more and more rapid as the rhythm of the drums accelerated. At this moment, Duan Hongzhen finally took action.

Although the dwarf puppet was short and oddly built, he was surprisingly agile. He quickly dodged Duan Hongzhen's flying knife, but the drumming also stopped. When the drums stopped, Xiao Tangqiu finally had a break to catch his breath. He rushed towards Tang Mianmian, "Are you okay?"

Tang Mianmian was so dizzy that she couldn't even stand: "Who are you... Who am I... Where are we?"

Just when Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian were barely able to stand by supporting each other, Duan Hongzhen had already started a fierce battle with the dwarf puppet. The piercing devilish sound of drums rang out again, but this time the drums were no longer specifically targeted at Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian. They were not affected that much and could barely hold on.

The dwarf puppet hadn't gotten anything out of Duan Hongzhen's hands for a while, so it opened its mouth and screamed again. As soon as it screamed, Xiao Tangqiu immediately felt a throbbing pain in his eardrums and quickly covered his ears with his hands: "Fuck! Its scream is a group attack!"

He suddenly understood the dwarf puppet's attack skills and quickly covered his ears and shouted to Tang Mianmian: "Its drumbeat can control people's bodies! But that's a single attack, it can only control one or two people at a time! Its scream is a group attack, it can attack everyone!"

Tang Mianmian also covered her ears and shouted: "...What's the point of knowing?"

Xiao Tangqiu: "...It's useless!"

Duan Hongzhen soon figured out the attack pattern of the dwarf puppet. Although he didn't dare to directly damage the puppet itself, he still used flying knives to force the dwarf puppet to retreat step by step. Finally, perhaps it realized that it could not beat Duan Hongzhen, and burst into an angry and shrill scream.

Xiao Tangqiu immediately covered his ears tightly, but the piercing scream still made his eardrums hurt and blood flowed. The whole room shook, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, the dwarf puppet had disappeared, but his ears were still buzzing and blood was flowing out of his ears. When he put his hands down, he found that he could no longer hear anything.

Before Xiao Tangqiu had time to despair, he looked up and found that the walls in the room without paintings were cracked by the scream of the dwarf puppet. Although the portraits were intact, countless cracks and spider web patterns appeared on the walls. He was suddenly filled with fear and relief.

Tang Mianmian also put down his hands. He obviously realized that he could not hear any sound. He was shocked and terrified. He rushed towards Xiao Tangqiu and opened his mouth wide, saying a lot of words. However, Xiao Tangqiu did not hear a word.

Xiao Tangqiu shook his head at Tang Mianmian and pointed to his ears.

Tang Mianmian opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't continue. Neither of them could hear her, so what was there to say?

I guess these two deaf guys will have to rely on hand gestures to communicate for the rest of their lives!

However, Xiao Tangqiu didn't have time to cry with Tang Mianmian. He turned to look at Shen Yuan. Even though he knew that Shen Yuan was very powerful, he couldn't control himself. Perhaps it was because Shen Yuan and Meng Xinghe were too similar. He always subconsciously worried about Shen Yuan as much as he worried about Meng Xinghe, even though he knew that Shen Yuan was much stronger than him.

When Xiao Tangqiu looked at Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan seemed to have glanced at him as well, but he was not sure, because Shen Yuan quickly turned around and talked to the cold girl.

No one knew what the two of them said, but the cold girl's expression became even colder. She seemed to turn her head and give Xiao Tangqiu a cold look.

Xiao Tangqiu thought that his inquiring gaze made her unhappy, so she quickly withdrew her gaze and looked at Tang Mianmian in a concealing manner.

Tang Mianmian looked quite miserable at this moment. Not only was her head and face covered in dust, but she was also covered in blood. Her clothes had several holes burned through them, and her underwear was exposed. However, Xiao Tangqiu believed that his appearance at this moment was probably not much better than Tang Mianmian's.

The two people who shared the same suffering smiled bitterly at each other, wanting to complain to each other but unable to hear each other's voices. Just as they were looking at each other, the aloof girl suddenly came over, looked at them coldly, and seemed to say something.

Xiao Tangqiu was just about to gesture to indicate that he couldn't hear anything, but the cold girl suddenly reached out and touched his ear. He was immediately startled and subconsciously wanted to hide back.

The next second, his ears began to feel slightly hot, and after a buzzing sound, he could hear faint sounds again!

At first it was just a faint sound, but gradually, the sound he could hear became clearer and clearer. When the cold girl put down her hand, his ears had completely returned to normal.

Next, the cold girl healed Tang Mianmian's ears. Finally, she looked at the little boy, seemed to pause for a moment, and finally healed him.

It was only then that Xiao Tangqiu reacted and quickly pulled Tang Mianmian to thank him: "Thank you."

The cold girl gave him a cold look and said, "No need to thank me."

Xiao Tangqiu was stunned for a moment, then saw the cold girl glance in Shen Yuan's direction, then she decisively turned around and left, continuing to look for the door to leave.

Xiao Tangqiu also looked in the direction of Shen Yuan, but at this time Shen Yuan had already entered into a discussion with his companions, probably discussing how to leave. He hesitated for a moment and did not immediately go over to thank him. He turned to Tang Mianmian and said, "Let's go find the door."

Tang Mianmian was still immersed in the joy of regaining her hearing after losing it. She hugged Xiao Tangqiu excitedly and cried for a long time before happily following Xiao Tangqiu to find the so-called door.

However, they had searched several times before, and there seemed to be no door to exit the room. Not to mention a door, there was not even a crack in the ground to crawl out.

As expected, Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian searched for a few more times but still found nothing. Just when they were at their wit's end, Shen Yuan suddenly said, "There's something wrong with that painting."

Xiao Tangqiu followed his gaze and saw a portrait of Lili Marlene, about half a person's height, and seemed to be no different from the other portraits. He didn't see any problem at all, but at Shen Yuan's command, his companions immediately went forward to check it out, and Duan Hongzhen was the first to attack the painting.
