Having coordinated their magical artifacts and made battle plans, Chen Jing and the others completed their preparations and arrived at the door next to the two cocooned people.
Besides the door you came through, there are three doors on each of the left and right sides.
Chen Jing and his team have already explored the three doors on the left and the two doors on the right.
For them, before engaging in battle, they must eliminate all possible oversights. For example, if there is a malevolent cocooned person in the first door on the right and Chen Jing and the others have not discovered it at all, the consequences would be even more unpredictable.
This was a blind spot raised by Chen Jing, who was wearing the Heavenly Heart, during a tactical discussion, and it was accepted by everyone.
Because the Cocoon People could become angels at any time, time might be very tight. Chen Jing wasn't sure if the Cocoon People really needed to drink the blood of their own kind to become angels, but tactical discussions were very important, especially after the previous battle with the angels. Because there was no prior preparation, it was a complete encounter, and Chen Jing and his team encountered all sorts of problems. For example, Zhang Taoying's cloud and mist spells blocked their own people.
After arriving at the first door on the right, everyone looked at He Lili.
With sweat beading on her forehead, He Lili said, "No harm intended, but we should still be careful."
Upon hearing this, Li Ai immediately opened the door, allowing the ghost fire that Li Si had condensed to float inside and provide illumination.
It appeared to be an office, with many desks, chairs, bookshelves, and a painting on the wall. In the middle of the office was a brazier containing many charred papers.
As soon as Chen Jinggang entered, he saw the painting that resembled a landscape painting, depicting round moons.
moon……
Even with the Heavenly Heart on his arm, Chen Jing still felt a chill run down his spine and subconsciously used his illusion ability to conjure a door to block his view.
"Don't look! Turn your head!" Chen Jing, wearing the Heavenly Heart, shouted calmly in a strange voice.
After he finished shouting, he realized that Li Si's eyes were fixed on the fire pit, while He Lili was already standing in front of Zhang Taoying with her eyes tightly closed.
"Danger!" He Lili's voice came a step later than Chen Jing's; she shouted urgently.
"What happened?" Dao Nan asked.
Chen Jing did not answer. Wearing the Heavenly Heart, he was rational and calm. He pulled the door shut and then said, "There is something in this room that seems to have possessed me."
“If you see it, you might also be possessed by an evil spirit,” Chen Jing said.
Li Ai asked, "What exactly is it?"
"Don't say it." Li Si pressed his eyes shut. "Don't tell us."
Chen Jing nodded: "I know."
Just by talking about it, the bizarre possession could become "contagious"!
Chen Jing now understood why He Lili had warned them to be careful even after discovering there was no malice.
Because danger and malice are not the same thing, some dangers are not created by sentient beings.
"Should we go ask Mr. Mei Moke?" Zhang Taoying asked.
Li Si shook his head: "If he accidentally reveals the possibility of possession, then we will still be affected."
Chen Jing looked at Li Si and asked, "High Priest, can you use that skull divination again?"
Li Si shook his head: "I only prepared one, otherwise I would have used it already."
Chen Jing nodded. He had already guessed this. He was only asking this now to avoid Li Si's questions about his possession symptoms and to divert attention. Chen Jing suspected that his possession symptoms had been resolved by the Dark Source, and this involved one of his biggest secrets. Chen Jing didn't want to be asked why he didn't have possession symptoms.
"Take care of those two cocoon people first." Chen Jing looked at the others and rushed over there.
Let the action disrupt their thoughts, and then let them forget Chen Jing's doubts after the fierce battle.
Finally, we arrived at the second door on the right.
Everyone had already discussed how to start the war, so there was no confusion. Chen Jing took the lead and drew his flame-shaped straight sword "Tianxin".
The door opened, and the will-o'-the-wisp coalesced into a human shape and drifted inside. Behind it, Chen Jing looked at the two cocoon-like beings who were almost like angels, holding flame-shaped straight swords, with a smile on their lips.
With a flick of his left hand, he pulled out a revolver, aimed it at the black-haired man, and fired coldly and ruthlessly.
Almost instantly, an unpleasant flute melody rose up, and Chen Jing felt a slight restlessness in his heart, as if some darkness was about to rise, but Chen Jing, holding the "Heavenly Heart", easily suppressed those dark and restless feelings.
Although the target of the flute's sound was supposed to be the red-haired cocoon man according to the battle plan, Chen Jing, who was in the passage, would inevitably be affected as well.
He Lili raised her silver rifle and aimed at the black-haired cocoon man. A phantom roar came from beside Zhang Taoying. Li Si's face darkened, and the corpses next to the two cocoon men suddenly reached out and grabbed at the black-haired cocoon man.
In just a moment, the black-haired cocoon-like man was subjected to concentrated fire from almost all of Chen Jing's men!
The black-haired cocooned man did not wait to die. Although most of his body was still inside the cocoon and he was very clumsy, he made tiny movements to dodge gunfire at just the right time, using the zombies to block his view and dodge backward.
It was as if it had been rehearsed countless times.
However, after the black-haired cocoon man dodged all the attacks, a beam of fire pierced through him from behind.
That was the attack launched by the red-haired cocoon-like person.
It was as if they had perfectly coordinated with Chen Jing and the others.
This was a scenario that Chen Jing and the others had envisioned when discussing tactics. Chen Jing suspected that they were merely maintaining a delicate balance, and that if any external force were to break it, the red-haired cocoon people might eliminate the black-haired cocoon people first.
According to Mei Moke's requirements, the death of one more cocooned person would allow them to become an angel. Chen Jing believed that the red-haired cocooned person was unlikely to share the same hatred as the black-haired cocooned person.
