This time, without Luo Tianhe's cursing, the dean seemed to have awakened a performative personality.
The dean bowed slightly; the gesture, which should have been elegant, appeared so lewd and disgusting on his bloated and obese body.
"Welcome to my collection room. It is an honor to show you my most precious collection."
Luo Tianhe's lips moved, but he desperately suppressed the urge to curse, wanting to see what tricks this fat pig would pull next.
The dean gently tapped the floor with his bone cane, and the dolls immediately lined up in a neat row, like soldiers being inspected.
"Every doll carries the soul of a child."
The headmaster strolled among the dolls, gently stroking their heads.
"Look, this is Xiaoming, he always cries at night; this is Xiaofang, she loves dolls; and this is..."
He suddenly pointed at the doll wrapped in Li Huai's coat, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes:
“This was originally my most satisfying work, and it was very valuable. I couldn’t resist the temptation and sold it to someone else.”
Just as Li Huai and I were about to speak, he suddenly burst into hysterical laughter again:
"But, hahaha, do you know how lucky I am? He actually came back!"
The piercing laughter made my eardrums feel like they were about to be pierced.
Luo Tianhe's face showed pain, yet he still managed to force out a ferocious, angry expression:
"You son of a bitch, where is Li Huai?!"
Upon hearing Lu Tianhe's curses, the dean's smug expression suddenly froze.
He spoke expressionlessly and in a sinister tone:
"I hate rude children the most. When I turn you into a doll, I'm going to sew your mouth shut!"
Go sew your mother's mouth shut!
Luo Tianhe pulled a handful of copper coins from his pocket. These were the coins he had obtained for the master, and they were believed to have the power to ward off evil.
The next moment, he threw a copper coin and smashed it hard at the dean.
The copper coins made a crackling sound the moment they touched the dean's skin.
The dean let out a painful roar as the copper coin became embedded directly into his flesh, like it had drilled into jelly.
Suddenly, the orphanage director was no longer human, and returned to his rotten, charred state.
"You two can stay here forever. I'll definitely give you a good beating when the time comes!"
The dean spoke in an extremely venomous voice, and as his words fell,
The candle's green light suddenly intensified, and all the dolls began to shake violently!
From their gaping mouths, countless charred little hands stretched out, and the air was filled with the painful cries of children.
I pulled Luo Tianhe back quickly, while simultaneously grabbing a handful of glutinous rice from my bag and scattering it into the air.
The rice made a sizzling sound when it touched the dean and the doll, but they only retreated slightly before pressing forward again.
"Haha, don't bother with futile resistance. In this orphanage, I am invincible!"
The dean let out a hysterical laugh, as if he had everything under control.
"Stop fucking bragging, you fat pig! You were almost brought to tears by Luo Tianhe just now, what are you pretending for!"
I sneered and cursed without any politeness.
Then, I bit my fingertip and drew a blood talisman in the air: "Heaven and earth are boundless, the universe borrows its power! Break!"
The blood talisman emitted a blinding red light, shattering the first few dolls that rushed towards it!
But more dolls followed suit, tearing at the glow of the blood rune with a sickening scraping sound.
Luo Tianhe picked up a fallen wooden beam and swung it wildly at the approaching dolls.
Each time the wooden beam hit the doll, it emitted a piercing scream, but there were simply too many of them.
The excessive blood loss made me pale, and even my head felt a little dizzy.
But then I suddenly realized something was wrong—how could there be so many dolls!
There were only a dozen or so people surrounding the mirror a moment ago, but now we've eliminated far more than forty or fifty!
I looked closely and saw that the bronze mirror in the center of the formation in the attic was constantly producing those strange rag dolls.
"Tianhe! Smash the mirror on the ground!" I shouted as I rushed toward the dean.
The dean seemed to have read my intentions; with a wave of his cane, several dolls immediately blocked my way.
Their eyes spewed black blood, corroding deep pits in the ground.
I dodged to the side, took out a handful of cinnabar from my bag, and sprinkled it on the doll.
The cinnabar sparked when it touched them, temporarily halting their attack.
On the other side, Luo Tianhe had already rushed to the bronze mirror. He was wearing a protective amulet made of cinnabar and copper threads, and for a moment the dolls could not get close to him.
Luo Tianhe lifted the wooden beam and slammed it down hard. We all thought we would hear the sound of the mirror shattering and then we would breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the wooden beam was bounced off the mirror the moment it touched the surface, and the huge recoil force made him stagger backward.
“Nothing can destroy it,” the director said proudly. “These two mirrors were forged with the blood and sweat of a hundred boys and girls, and they are no longer ordinary objects.”
I was shocked. The method of making such an evil object was extremely cruel, requiring the extraction of children's hearts while they were still alive.
This dean is even more ruthless than I imagined!
what to do? !
For a moment, I didn't know what to do!
Although the bronze mirror had been tempered, it could be broken by simply attaching a few talismans or drawing a simple talisman!
After all, bronze mirrors are just inanimate objects!
But now I'm surrounded by these dolls and can't get close to that bronze mirror at all!
My mind raced, constantly searching for a way to break the deadlock.
Suddenly, I shouted loudly:
"You fatso, you've been burned alive, all your fat has been rendered off, and you're still swaggering around here!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the dean froze on the spot.
"What are you talking about? I'm perfectly fine!"
He spoke loudly, but anyone could hear the doubt in his tone.
I don't know why he didn't know he was dead, and why he reacted so strongly every time he heard that he was being refined into corpse oil.
But I knew this was a golden opportunity, as he trembled and stiffened.
The dolls stopped moving, and I quickly went to the bronze mirror, took out a talisman, and covered the mirror surface.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and smash it!"
I yelled at Luo Tianhe, who was standing there dumbfounded.
Luo Tianhe then realized what was happening and swung the broken wooden beam in his hand. With a crisp cracking sound, the bronze mirror shattered into pieces!
As the bronze mirror shattered, fresh blood began to seep out.
Just then, the dean suddenly realized what was happening!
His obese body became incredibly agile at that moment, kneeling directly in front of the shattered bronze mirror, opening his mouth wide, and desperately sucking up the seeping blood.
