Chapter 229

~11 min read 2,071 words

Facing the room that couldn't be escaped, the weird costume that couldn't be destroyed, and the dead man's hands and feet that kept appearing in front of their eyes—the appearance of these things had subverted everyone's cognition in just a few minutes. In their view, such terrifying things shouldn't exist in this world at all.

If they did, then this world must have been destroyed long ago; how could it still maintain peace and prosperity?

"This world has ghosts, so there must be a way to deal with ghosts. Our power doesn't work here. If we want to survive, we must use the methods of this world... but now it's too late. The five of us have already been trapped. No one will come to save us. Perhaps we are the most unlucky batch of world-crossers; we haven't even been in this world for eight hours and are about to be wiped out."

Qin Bing smiled at this moment, a smile that was very bitter and helpless.

"Damn it, if I had known this, I should have acted separately instead of acting together. Zhang Xun has harmed people deeply," Xu Xu Qiu Mei gritted her teeth and cursed.

Yes.

If they had acted separately, at least they wouldn't have been wiped out. At the very least, several people could have survived, unlike now, being locked in a room together.

However, Zhang Xun's decision was not a problem either—first explore the transcendent power of this world, and then decide on subsequent actions. Doing so was very safe. It was just that he didn't expect the terror of this world to exceed everyone's expectations, whether it was Spirit Perception Realm, Primordial Spirit Realm, or even the martial artist of the Meridian Cultivation Realm.

All power and means were useless.

Such a situation was an explosive existence, not just on Earth, but in any world.

And facing such things, the people of this world could still live happily; it was truly unimaginable.

"If there is a chance to leave alive, I must find the method to deal with fierce ghosts in this world. But now, everyone should just pray for their own luck." Li Yi's expression was gloomy. He now had no time to take revenge on Xu Xu Qiu Mei; his biggest enemy now was actually an old costume.

At this moment.

Under the old costume, a pair of cold dead man's feet stretched out. These feet walked on the ground, making a muffled sound. And at the collar, accompanied by the bulge of foreign objects, a pale head also slowly reached out. But when seeing that head, everyone's heart sank to the bottom.

The appearance of that head was actually team leader Zhang Xun.

As a powerhouse of the Primordial Spirit Realm, he didn't expect that he would really be killed by this piece of clothing as Qin Bing guessed.

And after Zhang Xun died, his head seemed to be controlled by an incomprehensible power, becoming the wearer of this old costume, like a clothes rack, just to support this clothing.

"Are you kidding me?"

Zhang Jing was somewhat broken at this moment. Seeing team leader Zhang Xun die with her own eyes, the last bit of luck in her heart was also shattered. A deep sense of despair occupied her whole body.

But Zhang Xun's head tilted in an incomprehensible posture, then turned slightly, and a pair of eyes opened suddenly.

It was just that at this moment, his eyes were not as bright as before. At this moment, these eyes were dim, dead gray, and hollow. And the dead Zhang Xun seemed to recognize the few people in front of him, revealing a strange gaze, giving people an indescribable weird feeling, as if telling them that none of you want to run away today.

"Don't give up, fight to kill our way out of here. As long as we leave this room, it will be easy to handle. With our mobility, this ghost thing can't catch up with us." Qin Bing gritted his teeth at this moment, and a powerful desire to survive erupted in his eyes.

He didn't want to die here.

And he didn't want to be killed by a piece of clothing.

He had worked hard to cultivate until today, didn't know how many transcendent creatures he had killed, and had taken how many risks. It was not easy to become a world-crosser. He didn't want to die on this first world-crossing. Behind him were family, relatives, and friends. They were all waiting for him to go back, all longing for him to get the quota and take them away from the dangerous Earth to live in a peaceful world.

"Kill!"

Qin Bing shouted violently. His energy fire ignited again, rushing out like a moth to a flame.

"Attack together, use all the means. If we can't find a way to deal with this thing, we are all finished." Li Yi also gritted his teeth at this moment, choosing to seek a glimmer of survival in the fight.

Sitting and waiting for death was not what a martial artist should do.

Zhang Jing, Tao Yuan, and Xu Xu Qiu Mei also felt it made sense after hearing this. They were all Spirit Perception experts who had fought their way out of various cities. At this critical moment of crisis, they could only fight to survive. Even if the power was useless, even if the energy explosion was ineffective, as long as there was a glimmer of opportunity, they shouldn't give up.

Facing this weird costume, the few people didn't retreat, but instead began to display their respective means.

They tried to destroy this weird costume, tried to break the door and window to escape, and even tried to shatter the ground to fall to the next floor... As long as it was possible to survive, they would do it all.

At the same time.

Outside the sealed building.

"Someone has entered the building. How did you do your security work? A group of people without supernatural power were actually able to cross your cordon. If these people just died inside, that would be fine, but if they brought the ghost inside out, I don't know how much trouble it would cause."

"It was not easy to seal a ghost by consuming only one building. If it ran out again, it wouldn't be so easy to seal it again."

At this moment, outside the cordon, a man with corpse spots on his face and a stench of decay all over his body frowned and looked at a certain floor of the building.

Some kind of induction between supernatural things made him understand that on that floor of the building, supernatural power was spreading.

"I'm sorry, it was our work error," a staff member said very ashamed.

However, an assistant took a tablet and handed it over at this moment: "Look, this is the surveillance footage nearby. We slowed down the footage by a full ten times before we saw clearly a figure crossing the cordon. Such speed is simply not something a normal person can achieve. And the other party left footprints on the ground here."

Then another picture appeared. In the picture were two footprints deep into the cement, and the nearby ground was even cracked by a powerful force.

The man with corpse spots on his face took it and looked at it. A trace of strange color appeared in his somewhat numb eyes: "This was not caused by supernatural power; this was achieved by relying on one's own strength. Clearly not a Ghost Controller, yet having such means. This era is really messy, and all kinds of strange things have popped up. Since they are non-human, just in case, let them die in this building."

"If they luckily escaped, in order to prevent them from leading the ghost out, I will personally finish them off."

After speaking, a cold aura gradually spread from this man.

The surrounding lights flickered with a hiss, as if they had been interfered with by some power.

As the person in charge of Dazhuang City, Wang Wang Qiao had always followed the principle of "rather kill the wrong than let go" in the face of supernatural events. He couldn't bet the safety of a city for the lives of a few people.

However, at this moment, Li Yi and the others were trapped in danger and despair.

The five of them joined forces and used all their means, but ridiculously, they didn't even destroy a piece of wall skin. It seemed that the entire room was wrapped by an incomprehensible power. If they couldn't crack this power, they had no way to affect anything in reality.

And now, the few of them didn't even have room to resist.

Just by accidentally touching the weird costume, the next moment a dead man's palm would reach out from the costume, and just like dealing with Qin Bing just now, pull them and drag them into the costume. Even if you relied on the Evolver's reaction speed to dodge the first attack, immediately a second hand, a third hand would reach out, until you had nowhere to hide.

In the room at this moment, the old costume swayed, the cold aura permeated, and that human head belonging to Zhang Xun peeped at everyone with a weird gaze.

One by one, cold palms had grabbed everyone, and constantly began to erode their bodies.

Zhang Jing, who was close, was full of horror in her eyes. No matter how she struggled, it was to no avail. She could only watch as those black, cold fingers crawled all over her face, covering her vision. Her body felt a powerful sense of oppression all around, as if countless people were constantly surging in the darkness, constantly squeezing her.

If it weren't for her high physical fitness, she would have already vomited blood and died.

But now, it wasn't much better, because Zhang Jing saw that dark red costume getting closer and closer to her.

That darkness in this clothing seemed to be about to become her grave.

"I didn't expect that I would actually die with you." At this moment, Xu Xu Qiu Mei revealed a trace of unwillingness in addition to horror. Her graceful and tight body had already been twisted and deformed, making her unable to help but let out a painful wail.

She was about to be grabbed by that terrifying dead man's palm and dragged forcibly into the sleeve.

But the sleeve was only that big; how could her body fit in? And the consequence of this was that she was constantly crushed bit by bit by a terrifying force. At first, she could still struggle, but later, the pulling force coming from inside became stronger and stronger, as if there was no upper limit. At this moment, the force coming was already beyond the limit of a Spirit Perception Realm cultivator.

"Do you think I want to die with you?"

Li Yi's body was also grabbed by that weird palm at this moment. His whole body's Qi and blood exploded, but he still couldn't get rid of it. He could only watch as he was dragged forcibly into the open lapel.

A patch of darkness swallowed half of his body, and as time passed, more and more was swallowed, until finally, he disappeared from this world completely.

Qin Bing and Tao Yuan also had a miserable end. They were also entangled and couldn't get away. What awaited them was death.

The five people seemed to have been able to foresee their own end.

Their final result might be the same as Zhang Xun's, becoming a part of this weird costume, reduced to hands or feet supporting this clothing.

"Is it really the end?"

The darkness in front of Li Yi's eyes became thicker and thicker, and the surroundings became colder and colder. He couldn't hear the words of others now. He seemed to have been brought into an unknown place. Everything was so strange. There seemed to be countless cold corpses wriggling around. They didn't know if they were truly dead or had a little bit of consciousness left from before they died, always wanting to stretch out their hands and feet, grabbing everything outside through the gaps in the costume, just like drowning people wanting to urgently escape from the water.
