The strong wind carried raindrops, and Shi Jinzhe had no idea what to repair, where to repair it, or how to repair it. He couldn't ask any of these questions, just like a fool, having no choice but to follow Qian Chang.
The cold, heavy rain slapped haphazardly against my face, but thankfully, once I moved to the side of the small building, the feeling of confinement vanished instantly.
Qian Chang was the first to curse, "What a fucking idiot."
Huang Yingzong walked back, but stopped after less than two steps and stood motionless under the eaves.
"It's over, we can't go back. The three of us are going to get soaked in the rain for a while."
When the time was up, he had nothing to say. He leaned against the wall, surveying his surroundings, trying his best not to get wet.
Their storyline is simple: they walk to the side of the small building and that's it. This shows that the inspection isn't the main plot; sending them away was just a way to buy time. The real plot point is with Shekh.
At this moment, on the first floor of the small building.
Shech took a bite of the apple, the crisp sound clearly audible in the darkness.
Ye Zhan obediently expressed her envy: "Teacher gets to eat apples, that's so nice."
Sheh ignored him, crunched on an apple, and, still not full, took out a bunch of lychees from his spatial ring.
"Teacher, I didn't eat enough tonight, could I have one?" Ye Zhan continued to ask.
"Shut up."
Sher flicked the lychee pit away, his gaze fixed on the back of the sofa where Ye Zhan and Yao Shu were sitting.
Behind the sofa was a dark brown window, more than two meters away from the sofa back, with enough space in between for someone to stand.
The stench of blood spread, and a flash of white light pierced through the dark clouds, tearing through the night sky. The momentary brightness allowed Sher to see clearly that a person was standing in front of the window.
A person without a head.
The headless man wore a long red and black robe, with black armor covering his shoulders and chest. Unlike modern clothing, it inexplicably reminded her of Jiang Yinxue, who seemed to be an ancient person as well.
The pattering sound was hidden in the thunder. He clenched his black, withered fingers, raised a long spear surrounded by yin energy, and pointed the spearhead at Yao Shu's head in the cold light.
Without any unnecessary tricks, the headless man moved cleanly, thrusting out his spear in the blink of an eye.
The clanging sound was startling. Yao Shu's head was forced down, and the blade that sliced across her hair cleanly cut off her long hair, but it also just happened to block the fierce spearhead. If it had been half a centimeter off, Yao Shu would have been killed.
"Come here!" Jiang Xiaowan took a step back, making room for Lin Shuteng who had jumped over the sofa.
The moment Yao Shu left, the ghost-headed knife in Lin Shu's hand was chipped. The sudden downward pressure from the headless man caused her wrist to lose its strength, and the knife shattered.
The shattered blade was blasted away by the headless man's gun, and the fragments entered Lin Shu's body, passing through her palms and shoulders, and becoming embedded in the wall behind her.
Another oppressive attack came, and Lin Shu bent over to dodge it. In her upside-down vision, a long purple snake tail appeared.
Two opposing forces are locked in a fierce struggle: on one side, the spear represents the headless man's hand, and on the other, the snake's tail.
She sat on the sofa, as steady as a rock.
The headless man was entangled, and during the standoff, the upright gun barrel kept shifting towards Shekh's direction.
At this moment, another bolt of lightning struck, and the other five people who had left the battlefield were kept under Fu Guan's watchful eye with the Demon Card, mainly to keep an eye on Ye Zhan and prevent him from causing trouble in the chaos.
The struggle was escalating; the gun was deforming, and blackish-gold liquid was seeping from its tail. Accompanied by a half-hearted scream, Sheikh squinted and noticed another figure appearing on the glass.
It was a woman, hidden in the reflection of the glass; only when lightning flashed could her pale face, pressed against the glass, be seen.
The woman had no eyes; her dark, gaping holes stared directly at Yao Shu. Her lips opened and closed, and her tongue was only half-formed.
"Then there's another one?" Jiang Xiaowan asked in surprise. "Why is this soul-repelling incense completely useless?"
"The incense is only within a two-meter radius. How far away do you want to protect yourself?"
Fu Guan blinked, and the next second, his eyes were filled with a pair of whites without pupils, and a woman's pale face suddenly appeared in front of him.
The woman who was just on the glass instantly teleported in front of the five people, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, heading straight for Yao Shu.
"This can't be within two meters, can it?" Yao Shu scolded, "I already gave Huang Yingzong a red envelope, why are they still coming after me?!"
Fu Guanzai: "Didn't you spend money from inside?"
"Damn it!" Yao Shu said angrily, glancing at Shekh.
A few meters away, she remained in the same position, showing no other behavior. Whether her strength was limited by the plot or something else, she simply held off the headless man without showing any intention of killing him.
Looking around, besides Shekh being able to handle things with ease, Fu Guan was also having a tough time while keeping an eye on one person and leading two others.
This blind, tongue-less woman is elusive and poses a significant threat to him.
Yao Shu was unwilling to be a burden. She knew very well that although Fu Guan was saying that more survivors would spread the risk and seemed to be protecting her, these high-level players didn't actually have much kindness.
If one of them has to die, the one with the weakest attack and self-defense capabilities will definitely be the first to be abandoned.
Thinking of her skills, Yao Shu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Let her come here!"
The mysterious woman was allowed to pass and instantly moved in front of Yao Shu, pinching her with her ten fingers.
Fu Guan struggled to restrain the woman with a chain, and then witnessed a scene that was incomprehensible to him.
Yao Shu hugged the woman and gently kissed her forehead.
Skill: [Those who have faith will receive love]
Effect: Triggered by a kiss. The more sincere your feelings, the stronger your emotional control over the target. This skill has a chance to trigger the [Dedicate Your Life for Me] effect, making the target willing to give everything for you.
Special note: The stronger the target, the harder it is to control. To avoid backlash, players should use this method with caution.
The woman, whose murderous intent was running wild, paused in her movements. Yao Shu gently stroked her cheek, unaffected by the terrifying face, leaving everyone around her dumbfounded.
The people on this side were stunned. The headless man on Shekh's side suddenly gained strength, pulled hard, and actually snatched back his spear. He changed the spear's momentum and threw it this way.
Fortunately, Shekh intercepted the spear halfway and immediately absorbed the dark yin energy on it, revealing the silvery-white spearhead beneath the spear shaft that had been enveloped in yin energy.
Seeing this, the headless man withdrew his spear and disappeared in an instant. The woman who had been temporarily calmed down by Yao Shu also disappeared.
*Smack*
The living room lights came on, and Yao Shu coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Kneeling on the ground, she looked up and blurted out, "How is this possible?"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiaowan helped her up. "Why are you sitting on the ground? Did you eat something poisonous?"
Yao Shu shook her head. No, that's not right.
They clearly fought with two monsters, so the living room should have been a mess. How could it be so clean, no different from before the lights went out?
This shouldn't be happening!
outside the house.
Soaked to the bone, Huang Yingzong moved his stiff body and turned his neck. "Hey, I think I can move now. The story is over. Let's go back."
