Chapter 479: Deadly Music
Iquicklypulled myself together, asking the others to be more vignt. Li Mazi seemed to havetransformed intoanother personatthis moment. Thefatigueon his face vanished, reced by deep hatred!
However, while we were holding our breath and listening carefully, we heard a mournful melody yed by a violin.
The musicwas so clear that itseemed like someone was ying right outsidethedoor.
Although Ididnt know much about this type of music, I could hear the perfect transitions of the glides. This piece of music could make people cry whenthe climax arrived.
Inadvertently, Ibecame mesmerized bythe music. A gold-haired,blue-eyed woman withan ovalface appeared in my head. Shewore a satin dress with medieval characteristicsand looked likea European noblewoman.Although she didnt do anything, she exuded strong enticing power, giving me a strongurge tomove closerto her.
At this moment, the womansexpression wasextremely sad andmournful. Her deep blue eyeswere filled with sorrow, and her cheeks looked as if they were covered with frost.Her brows mmed together. Sheappearedto be suffering from somethingtrulyheart-breaking.
Listening to the sad melody from the violin, I seemed to understand the womans grief.From deep within my soul, I felt an urge togoand pull her into my embrace to love andfort her. At the same time, my legswere refusing to listen to me, and wereabout to walk to the door.
Fortunately, my brainran speedily, andI pulled myself together.
That things trying to bewitch us!
I looked aroundto find thatLi Mazi and the other two women were infatuated with the music, stiffly walking toward the door! My heart sank, andI bit the tip of my tongue. The taste of blood helped mepletely regain my sanity from the music.
I hurried to walk forward as Li Maziwas nearingthe door.
How could I let him go out?Immediately, Igave him a hard p,wakinghimup.
Ouch!Whats wrong with you? asked Li Mazi.
We were bewitched! You should keep some durum wheat in your mouth.If you feel in danger, chew but dont swallow!
I then took out two coins, pressing them on Ru Xues and Yin Xinyues bes. They awakened, slumping on the ground. Ru Xuewasso scared that she couldnt even utter a word. She kept rubbing her chest to calm down.
Yin Xinyue didnt feel good either, her voice shivering,Brother Zhang, what should we do now?
If that thing enticed us to make us walk out of this room, it means the durum wheat works. As long as were not going out, well be all right
I gave the girls some wheat grains, asking them to keep the grains in their mouths. Li Mazi,e to the window.
LittleBrother Zhang, can we deal with it? asked Li Mazi.
Hard to say, I shook my head.
I gently pushed thewindowopen to see. If the weatherwasgood, I would climbdownwith Li Mazi. We would then use the emergency staircase to go to the corridor and see the real face of that thing.
Unexpectedly, there was a thin fog outside, and even the street lights had be immensely hazy. If the two of usclimbed down, we would be attacked by the ghost. In this case, itwasbetter to go out directly through the door and have a nice fight with that spirit!
Li Mazi looked scared, but hequicklygot a hold of himself. He put more durum wheat into his pocket and gave his coins to Ru Xue and Yin Xinyue, asking them to stay in the room. No matter what happened, they shouldnt go out.
After preparing everything, he took a deep breath. I dont care what kind ofcreatureit is. Tonight,its either me or that thing!
I gave Li Mazi a thumbs-up then took the lead, pushing the door open. Li Mazi followed close behind me. After my first step out of the room, I felt a strong resentful energy lingering around the door.
My heart sank. I immediately withdrew my foot, turning and sending Li Mazi a nce.
Li Mazi was a little surprised. However, he took out a handful of durum wheat grains, ready to throw out.
When we stopped moving, I seemed to feel the resentful energy subsiding. That female ghost had guessed that we wanted to go out, so it nned to lurk outside andkillus. I sneered, taking off my jacket and throwing it out of the room.
At that gleam of time, a red, ring-shaped object shed, directlysurroundingthecor of my clothesand shrinking.
I sweated immediately at the scene. If I hadnt sensed the dangerjust now,Iwould have beenstrangled!
The ring-shaped object found that it was tricked. It resumed its original size andtried to escape. However, Li Mazi was ready; he hurledforward all the grains in his hand.
The ring-shaped object couldnt dodge. When it got hit, a wisp of ck smoke appeared. It shook a few times and turned into a human shadow.I squinted and foundthat it wasthe European womanthat had appearedin my head a moment ago!
Her face was covered with maggots, and her two bulging eyes were hostilely gazing at me and Li Mazi. My scalp felt numb under her gaze. Instinctively, I stooped my head.Next, I realized that theghost didnt have a tummy!
She looked like a chicken that was disemboweled. From under her breasts to above her hip,therewas a horrible hole that had only a strip of skin on each side to connect her upper and lower body parts. Her appearance was creepily gruesome! Moreover, as soon as shemanifestedinheroriginal form, she reeked of a nauseous stench, which was even more unpleasant thanthe smell ofrotten animals.
Li Mazi pinched hisnosewith one hand whileusing theothertoscratchhis neck. After one day, the bruise on his neck hadnthealed.In fact,it looked evenworsenow.
I was worried as I guessed that the Yin energy in his body hadnt beepletely expelled.
Anyway, before I couldpullmyself together, the female ghost screamedandflewtoward me.She kept changing her shape in midair. When she approached my neck, she had bearing-shaped object again.
At this criticalmoment, all of my potential was stimted. My upper bodyinstinctivelyleaned backward.Then, I saw a red light brush past the tip of my nose!
The hairs of my bangs were cut off, and atrickleof blood fell down along with my hairs.Ihadnarrowly escapeddeath.
I hurried to turn around and looked at the red ring-shaped object, throwing a handful of durum wheat toward it.
The female ghostsawthat I was well-prepared. She turned and flew toward Li Mazi. I hurried to sprinkle more wheat grains, but the ghost dodged them easily.
Li Mazi thought that the ghostwould deal with me first,so he was also focused on me. When the ghostsuddenlyturned around to attack him, hewas caught by surprise.He could only lookat the red lightgettingbigger and bigger in his eyes, unsure as towhat to do.
Theghostwastoo strong. If he got hit, hisheadwould be cutoff.
I was so worried, butthere was nothing I could doat thismoment.
Suddenly,agolden light shed behind Li Mazi, and something hit thering-shapedobject. The ring-shaped object was forced to turn back toits humanform.
This time,the ghostlooked even more horrifying. Herrighteyeballwasdangling from hereyesocket, and her entire right cheekhad sunkdeep into her skull, just as if a big rockhadhit her there.
Still confused, she liftedher head, trying to identify what had justhurther.
Li Mazi and I would never letsuch achance slip away. We exchanged looks and took out a handful of wheat grains, throwing them at her. This time, our joined attack worked much better.Shortly after, the female ghost exuded ck smoke and sizzled.
Her bodytrembled hard, then dashedtoward the other end of the corridor. Li Mazi gritted his teethandfollowedher. However, I grabbed him and pulled him back to the room.
Why did you let the ghost go?Thiswas the first thing Li Mazi asked me when we returned to the hotel room.
Do you think that its so easy to deal with that ghost?
Then, I bent my upper body to pick up thecoins at the door. I gavethem to him andaskedhim to take a look at them.
Holycow, howcould thisbe?! Looking at the ckened coins, Li Maziwas stunned.
