Chapter 207 The Smith Family is Targeted
The white shadow was obviously trying to stop others from going up to the third floor.
Or rather, the ghosts hiding in the castle are stopping them.
"How about trying to attack?" Ivan stood at the stairs on the first floor, eager to try.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiu didn't say anything. He gripped the dagger tightly and rushed forward.
The main focus is on action and less talk.
Seeing this, the white shadow flew quickly to the depths of the second floor, but unexpectedly, as soon as it stopped, it found that Lin Jiu, who was originally rushing towards it, made a sharp turn and went directly to the third floor.
Bai Ying: ???
Are you kidding me?!
[This is so funny, idiot.]
Tip: It’s okay to watch the fun.
Lin Jiu was extremely fast and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, the shadows around tried to catch up, but unexpectedly, several cold lights flashed, and the rest of the players were all blocked at the stairs leading to the third floor.
The screams of pain from the injured could be heard from the shadow, the chaotic sounds were sharp and somewhat harsh.
"Ouch, does it still hurt?"
The second group of people blocked the phantom's retreat. Christian looked at the phantoms in front of him, playing with a dagger, and said something in a sarcastic tone as if mocking him.
"But it doesn't feel like chopping." Hicks raised the dagger and swung it twice.
Eugene stood between the two of them and sighed helplessly.
"I beg you to be steady, please."
Hicks responded readily: "No problem."
Christie shrugged lightly, "The minority obeys the majority."
The scene at this moment was like a righteous gang fight. Although several shadows were constantly forced back by the five people and could only stay together, their numbers were equal.
"Say, what would happen if we poured this stuff on them?"
Ivan took out a tube of holy water at some point.
Charles was just about to tell him to be careful when he saw these shadows suddenly start to get agitated, and then with a "bang", they turned into a cloud of white mist and disappeared.
Everyone:......?
ah?
Seeing Charles and the others looking at him, Ivan said bewilderedly, "I, I didn't do anything."
"Maybe it was scared away by the holy water?" Christie touched his chin, as if he had come to this conclusion after serious thinking.
As soon as he finished speaking, an almost heart-wrenching scream came from upstairs.
It wasn't Laura's voice.
They looked at each other and subconsciously ran upstairs.
The accident happened in Anna's room. Mr. and Mrs. Smith and the housekeeper were standing in the corridor on the other side, looking at the other side worriedly.
The door to Anna's room was wide open, and Joel was crying, held in Reginald's arms.
In the room, Anna's crying could be heard continuously.
Charles ran over and looked inside Anna's room, which was a mess.
The glass on the balcony was shattered all over the floor. The night wind blew in with a biting chill, and the curtains were rustling.
The wardrobe and the cabinet containing the dolls were all overturned, and the items were scattered all over the floor.
Todd stood near the door, holding Anna, who was crying, in his arms, and looked at Lin Jiu with concern.
And Lin Jiu was near the balcony.
He squatted with his back to the door, pinching a black shadow in his hand. The silver dagger nailed part of the black shadow to the ground. Clearly visible pollution was continuously pouring into Lin Jiu's body.
The black shadow tried to escape, and the illusory figure kept squirming, but Lin Jiu had no intention of letting go.
When Todd saw Charles come in, he stuffed Anna into his arms without saying a word.
"Stay away."
As he spoke, Todd strode towards Lin Jiu.
"Lin...you!"
Todd wanted Lin Jiu to let go first to prevent his body from being eroded by more pollution, but when he got closer he found that Lin Jiu's expression was not painful.
He looked like he was enjoying it.
Todd: ???
The scene was completely different from what Todd had expected, and his mind went blank for a moment. When he came to his senses, the slightly crazy excitement on Lin Jiu's face had disappeared.
"Those things seem to have split from it." Lin Jiu turned his head and said to Todd.
He was talking about the shadows that were originally on the second floor, and of course also the ghosts that appeared before.
Todd glanced at the black shadow who was being pinched by Lin Jiu and could not escape because of the silver dagger, and took out a black bottle from his waist pocket.
There was a spell engraved on the bottom of the bottle, which looked like Martian language, and Lin Jiu couldn't understand it.
Todd pointed the bottle at the shadow and recited the obscure spell on it.
The next second, the black shadow that was originally nailed to the spot by Lin Jiu's dagger was absorbed into the bottle. The spell at the bottom lit up and the bottle body shook slightly.
Todd explained that over time, the dark shadows inside would be purified and eventually disappear.
Just like a cross, each time it is used, the effect becomes weaker.
"Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
Todd reached out to help Lin Jiu up and asked with some concern.
Although Lin Jiu's reaction just now was a little wrong, Todd thought that it would be difficult for humans to avoid accidents when they were eroded by a large amount of pollution in less than a minute.
However, the next second after asking this question, Todd fell silent.
Although the room was dim, Todd could see that Lin Jiu, who was standing in front of him, had a rosy complexion and although his breathing was a little rapid, he did not look like he was in any trouble.
"I'm fine, this is nothing." Lin Jiu shook his head.
Todd nodded slowly.
Well, it looks good.
It's better to say that his complexion looks better than before.
"What about the child?" Lin Jiu changed the subject and asked towards the door.
Anna and Joel were still crying. Anna, who was attacked, was not hurt, but was just scared, and so was Joel.
The crisis was temporarily resolved, and the first thing Mr. and Mrs. Smith did when they ran over was to hug the child and comfort him.
Lin Jiu looked at this scene full of family affection, but frowned.
He couldn't describe the feeling, he always felt something was weird.
Because of the child attack, the Smiths planned to let the child sleep with them tonight, and Todd arranged three groups of people to guard the door.
Lin Jiu didn't think this method was effective, and Todd certainly understood this, but this was the only way to arrange it.
It was already late, early morning of the next day.
Group 2 was no longer sleepy, but Todd still asked them to go back and rest.
At times like this, every moment of rest is valuable.
As the players went downstairs together, Hicks spoke up, "Do you feel like the ghost is targeting their family?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded almost at the same time.
Although ghosts appeared in front of players many times, they were only interfering with the players, and their actual targets were Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Today, Anna was attacked.
According to Todd, Anna was playing with dolls in her room when she was attacked.
He even played with Anna for a while before the shadow attacked.
Less than a minute after leaving, a loud noise was heard from Anna's room, and then the glass on the balcony shattered under the huge impact force.
