Chapter 599: One Thousand Birds Attack; the Illusory Mind Bell Repels
I frownedand said,Dont touch Li Mazi!
Zhang Yan sniggered evilly. I dont have the timeto talk nonsense with you!Exchange theiron swallow for Li Mazi. Otherwisee and pick hiscorpse. Your call.
I turned to look atSenior Shu.Hegave me a slight nod. I then agreed with her.
Zhang Yan sneered darkly. Tonight, youwile alone. Meetme at the zoo.
Ihung upthe call andsaid helplesslytoSenior Shu,It seems shes afraid of you. She told me togothere alone.
Senior Shurolled his eyes at me. Itsa trap, and you are stillinthe mood to smile.
He snatched my phone and called Feng Yuanzheng. Whats going on over there?
I was speechless.He alsohad Feng Yuanzhengs number, but he always wanted to use my phone. I knew he just wanted to save a few dimesonphonefees.
Feng Yuanzheng ranted as soon as the callwentthrough.Shesuspectedme at first, and shelooked like shewas goingto kill me!Had I beena little weaker,my lifewould have been over at that moment!
He looked scared.
Anyway, sinceFeng Yuanzheng was all right,Senior Shueased his mind. Heidon the sofa and took a nap.
Sir, would you like to go upstairs to rest?saidLi Qiushu.
No need, Im just an old man. No matter where I sleep, its the same.Senior Shushookhis head.
Ithoughtit was funnyand toldmyself that the sun had risen from the West today! Then, I chatted for a while with Li Qiushu beforegoing to theguest room to sleep.
After dinner, it was around twilight. Itookthe Sirius Whip and theIllusory Mind Bellwith meanddeparted.I consideredthat thespiritwas afraid of rats,so IputSenior Shus life-bound ratinmy bag.
By doing so, Iwouldbe able to scare thespirit, andSenior Shucould precisely locate me!
The suburban zoo didnt sound nice at all. On the way there, Ilearnedsomething from the taxi driver. He pouted.They call it a zoo, but its nothing more than abirdcage!
It turned out the zoo was just a wide park that kept some birds. The people in the surrounding areas often took walks along the grounds.
When we arrived, I noticed thatthepark didnt even havealighting system. After the driver left, the entire park was pitch ck.
I stood still for a while to adapt to thedarkness beforeslowlywalkinginto the park. The park was empty;I didnt even see a bench.Grass greweverywhere I looked. After walking for around two hundred meters, I found abigstone. I directly sat on it.
I felt a little chilledby thenight wind. I lit up a cigarette and carefully observedmysurroundings. If Zhang Yan chose this ce, she would havee here before me. Perhaps, she was hiding in a corner and watching me now.
A bird suddenly flew near me, twitteringin midair.Thisaroused my interest. This bird was strange as it didnt look like a nocturnal one. When I looked at the bird, it seemed to understand me. It immediately flew towards me.
At thismoment, my bag suddenly moved. I heard the life-bound rat squeaking! As it had been withSenior Shufor quite a long time, the rat now hada mind of its own.If itdmade noise atthis critical moment, I was sure it wanted toremind me ofdanger.
I pulled myself together. The bird was plunging fast toward me, its sharp ws sparklingin the night. It wanted to attack me!
I didnt have enough time to counterattack, soI instinctively dodged it. The bird brushed past my ear, and the sharp ws cut a lock of my hair.
Youbastard! I screamed and cursed.
I was lucky that the life rat hadwarnedme. Otherwise, that bird could have pricked my eyeballs!
Afterattackingme, the bird slowed down. After around ten minutes, it fell helplessly on the ground. It didnt move afterward.
Iwent overand checked it. It had died,andthe body was cold and rigid. It wasas if it had been dead for quite a long time. Isoon understood;thespirithad controlled thecarcass!
I suddenly remembered that the driver had told me this park was like abirdcage. I now knew why Zhang Yan wanted to negotiate with me here. She wanted to use those birds to deal with me!
I was scared.After imagining flocks of birds covering the sky and plunging to attack me at once, I felt my legs turning intojelly.
It was said that what you were afraid of the most would indeee to you. While I was thinking about how to deal with them, I heard the windtearand the birds twittering behind me. I turned and saw all kinds of birds covering the sky. They were heading towardme as fast as missiles. I noticed that they werent pping at all.They seemed to be the same as the previous bird, dead.
To deal with me, Zhang Yan had killed so many birds. I was scared, butalso angry!
For the time being, I only had the Sirius Whip and theIllusory Mind Bell. It wasnt efficient to use the Sirius Whip to deal with thosesmall-sized birds.After hesitating, I took out theIllusory Mind Bell and shookit.
I was certain that thespiritwas using its mental power to control the birds. At the same time, theIllusory Mind Bellcould deal with this kind of energy. There should beaneffect, which would give me more time.
Indeed, as the belljingled, the first wave of birds shook a few times. Then, theydirectlydropped to the ground.
I hadnt expected theIllusory Mind Belltoworkthiswell. I shook it harder and proactively approached the flock of birds. More and more birds fell. I felt more secure.
My phone suddenly rang. It was Li Mazis number. I shook the bell with one hand while my other hand received the call. I shoutedintothe phone.Zhang Yan,have you yedenough?
Im scared of the bell in your hand. Throw it away! Zhang Yaughed, thenforced Li Mazi to talk.
Hewhimpered. Giveher theiron swallow. As long as we dont put our nose in this, Zhang Yan wont trouble us!
After Li Mazi finished talking, Zhang Yan hung up the call.
I was soangry at this moment.
If I threw theIllusory Mind Beway, Iwouldnthave anything else to defend myself with.If I didnt throw it away, she would torture Li Mazi. His voiceonthe phone was feeble.
After pondering for a while, I said through my gritted teeth,Mazi, if you die, I promise I will take care of your family! Then, I jingled the bend usedall of my power to attack those birds!
GivenZhang Yans current situation, itwas a daydreamto hope that she would spare our lives.IfI dropped theIllusory Mind Bell, both Li Mazi and I wouldnt be able to survive.The only solution now was to use force to defeat force.
Enough! Zhang Yans angry voice came out from behind me. I instinctively turned to face her. She was pulling Li Mazi out from behind a rock. Li Mazi had his hands tied behind his back. However, he looked strange when his eyes met mine.
Oh, so youcouldn''tstand it when Idefeatedyourbirds.My voice grew cold.
Zhang Yan wasangryatmymockingwords. She took out a sharp dagger and directly stabbed Li Mazis thigh.
Li Mazi screamed immediately.
Dont move! I knew there was only one way to deal with a crazy person like her. I took out the iron swallow. Almost at the same time, I bit the tip of my tongue and spat blood on the iron swallows head.
I hadnt attacked herbecauseI didnt know where she was. But now, as her fatal weakness was in my hand, I could y whatever Iwanted!
Indeed, Zhang Yan trembledafterI spat my blood onto the swallow. She dropped the dagger.However, she recovered soon. She grabbed Li Mazis throatand slowly increasedthe strength of hergrasp. Li Mazis legs struggled hard, and his eyes bulged.It didnt look like he would be able toresist for a long time.
It was good that Iwasprepared. I smeared the rat dung I got fromSenior Shuoverthe iron swallow.The rat dung didnthave an exorcisingfunction. However,since thespiritwas afraid of rats, itwasa sharp weapon.
You Youbetterwipe off that filthy thing! Otherwise,Ill kill this pockmarkedbastardrgh! Zhang Yans face lost color. Her grip loosened, asshe had to turn aside and retch. She was so enragedthat she was shoutingand yelling.
I wanted to take this chance to snatch Li Mazi back to my side. Shesaw throughmy intention, so she ignored her conditionandgrabbed Li Mazis throat tighter, shoutingcrazily. We exchange, or we all die!
She was scared, and Ihad beenwaiting forher to say thosewords. Wewere aware ofthe situation of this iron swallow. Destroying the birdwasnt an option. So, itdidntmatter much whether wehadthe swallow or not. Itwould bemorebeneficialif I used it to exchange for Li Mazi.
I didnt talk any nonsense. Standing a few meters away from her, I screamed, Let go of him first. When he walks intothe areabetween us, Ill throw the iron swallow to you!
Why would I do that?
Because youre faster than me! I didnt want to lose this bargain. Discreetly, I opened my bag to release the life-bound rat. It slid awayand hid inthe grass.
Zhang Yan didnt reject my idea. She slowly released Li Mazi. Li Mazi walked toward me. His face looked dull. Zhang Yan had probablyroughed him uphard.
When Li Mazi passed the middle point, I shouted all of a sudden. Here you go!
When Zhang Yan lifted her head to look, I threw the iron swallowinthe direction where the life-bound rat had gone.
Zhang Yan rushedtoward itwithout a care for her life. I took the chance and pulled Li Mazi to me. We ranaway.
After a few seconds, Zhang Yanmade a shrill sound, followed by a cry. At the top of her lungs, she said,Im gonna kill you, you old stinky rat!
I beamed a faint smileand pulledLi Mazi away.When we came to the gate of the park,Senior Shuwas there. He exchanged looks with me then rushed into the park. He was headed inZhang Yans direction.
Thiswas our n before Ihadehere. I wouldmaketheexchangeand havethe life-bound rat hold her downasthespiritwas afraid of rats. Then,Senior Shuwouldgo thereto subdue herpletely!
