Chapter 93: The Eve of Judgment: Part 2

Seeing this farce come to an end, Ding Mo let out a breath.

He turned around, intending to ask Jiang Liuxue once more about the details of her dream, but...

Suddenly, a strange sound came from somewhere?

Creak~

Ding Mo was slightly startled; he turned his head and saw the bathroom door open.

A black shadow was faintly swaying inside—the strange sound was coming from it!

Wait a minute!

Ding Mo stared at the figure and couldn't help but take a step back.

He remembered that it was Zhu Dechang who had entered the bathroom just now, and he hadn't come back out!

"Zhu De... chang?" Ding Mo thought for a moment and called out.

The figure stopped abruptly!

Something is wrong! Just as Ding Mo thought this, he saw the "figure" walk out.

What kind of figure was that?

Its head was covered in "fleshy ears," one after another, growing out from the eye sockets, mouth, and nose of the skull!

At a rough glance, there were at least a hundred of them!

What kind of Guaishou is this? But soon, Ding Mo saw the clothes on this Guaishou.

It was wearing Zhu Dechang's clothes!

What is going on?

Zhu Dechang was a veteran who had survived 4 Tasks; could he really just mutate like that?

Qin Yifei had just woken up at this moment; after he climbed up and saw this scene,

his eyes widened instantly!

At the same time, the Guaishou lunged fiercely at Ding Mo!

Seeing this, Ding Mo delivered a violent knee strike, slamming it hard into its chest!

Bang!

The fleshy-eared Guaishou was instantly sent flying backward, crashing onto the carpet in front of the bathroom door; it went back as fast as it had come.

It didn't seem very strong... The thought had just crossed Ding Mo's mind.

A distorted scream entered his ears.

"Ugh..." Ding Mo immediately felt as if his ears were pressed against a female ghost's throat!

The shrill scream made him instantly deaf, and the world turned upside down!

Thump!

Ding Mo fell to his knees, clutching his ears in agony.

Fortunately, it seemed that because the close-range contact was short, the sound quickly disappeared.

Ding Mo hurriedly got up and retreated, not daring to get close to this fleshy-eared Guaishou again.

The Guaishou that Zhu Dechang had mutated into not only inherited his abilities but might have even become stronger!

Ding Mo did not know what Zhu Dechang had experienced, but the current situation was likely the "Pollution" on his body erupting completely, turning him into some kind of Guaishou.

He had said himself before that his ability was extremely dangerous.

But why at this specific time?!

Ding Mo gritted his teeth, watching the Guaishou slowly rise before him, when he suddenly heard a howl from the side.

What is it this time!?

Looking out of the corner of his eye, it was Zhou Lan—this madman, instead of helping at this time, was actually taking the opportunity to lunge at Jiang Liuxue again!

It seemed that compared to his own life, killing Jiang Liuxue was more important.

Bang!

On the other side, seeing this scene, Qin Yifei began to ram the door, seemingly hoping to break open the locked door and escape from here.

Everyone fell into chaos in an instant; who knows when it started, but everything seemed to be uncontrollably falling into disorder!

... Something is wrong, how could it be like this? Ding Mo tossed the lunging fleshy-eared Guaishou away, then endured the sharp pain of the Magic Sound filling his ears,

while thinking:

How could it be like this?

Why did things suddenly turn out like this?

First it was Zhou Lan, this guy suddenly became extremely abnormal, getting crazier and crazier; then it was Zhu Dechang, the Pollution on his body actually erupted at such a time, completely twisting him into a Guaishou.

Think carefully...

As he thought, the surrounding sounds seemed to become extremely slow, and even the light began to tremble, turning into waves that struck against a transparent "Curtain."

Inside the "Curtain," Ding Mo scanned the room, various pieces of information intersecting in his mind.

Qin Yifei, who was ramming the door, had bulging muscles, his static figure tilted in mid-air.

Zhou Lan had tackled Jiang Liuxue, who had a look of terror on her face, onto the bed, and the two were wrestling together.

Is it her... Ding Mo's gaze finally settled on Jiang Liuxue.

It is because of that dream!

Ever since Jiang Liuxue woke up from her dream just now, strange things have happened one after another, catching people off guard.

But why... why so urgent? So urgent to kill them?

Before, when Xiao Yong died, it had been almost an entire day since Jiang Liuxue's dream, and it was not much different for Xiong Lihui, who had gone to the Light Hall.

But why, when it came to them, as soon as Jiang Liuxue's dream ended, they fell into one grotesque event after another like a runaway high-speed train.

Ding Mo felt that he had vaguely grasped the key.

Three minutes passed, and he pulled down the "Curtain" again, hugging his chest in deep thought.

Come to think of it, before Jiang Liuxue fell into a coma and dreamt, two noteworthy things happened.

One was Jiang Liuxue "Light incense and tell Buddha," after which she inexplicably fell into a coma; the second was the Abbot locking them up and proposing to send them into the "Guangming Baodian" tomorrow morning.

... That's right!

A vague realization dawned in Ding Mo's heart.

Unlike with Xiong Lihui, this time everyone had the Abbot's guidance, so it was unlikely they would end up being "buried alive" as before.

Because the Abbot had previously stopped Xiong Lihui from stepping inside, but this time he wanted to send them in, which meant the situation was different from before.

Therefore, that mysterious, eerie presence, if "it" existed, might at this moment...

Perhaps it was afraid!

The Abbot's actions would have a major impact on us, and it might even be that he is saving us!

That is why "it" is in such a rush to kill us all tonight!

Then it is very clear: if we survive tonight, things will take a turn for the better!

Having clarified this point, a glimmer of excitement appeared in Ding Mo's eyes—for them, constantly being attacked by the "Curse," this was a rare hope!

Decisively ending the "Curtain," Ding Mo kicked away the Guaishou that pounced on him again and retreated backward.

Bang!

At this moment, Qin Yifei also crashed through the room door; he endured the pain in his bruised shoulder and was about to run out.

However, a hand reached out and pulled him to the side.

The powerful force made Qin Yifei freeze, and he immediately saw Ding Mo's figure appear beside him.

Before he could make a sound, Ding Mo said, "You will die if you go out. Listen to me, I guarantee you will survive tonight!"

Qin Yifei did not know where his confidence came from, but seeing his extremely serious expression, he seemed infected by his confidence and nodded hesitantly.

Ding Mo nodded and took out a rope—this was something he had accidentally discovered in the chaotic room just now.

He handed one end to Qin Yifei, while Ding Mo held the other end of the rope himself.

He whispered a few words in the former's ear, and then, the two turned their gaze toward the meat-eared monster that was pouncing toward them again in the room.

The next moment, Ding Mo swiftly made a loop the size of a neck in the rope in his hand and met it head-on.

"La—!" The strange cry sounded once again, and Ding Mo endured the influence to get close to it.

After the previous exchange, Ding Mo had already understood its ability—humans who entered a certain range around it would lose the ability to act after hearing the strange "Magic Sound," and in severe cases, might even suffer a mental breakdown.

However... Ding Mo moved quickly, rushing to its side in one go, and slipped the rope loop in his hand over the latter's neck!

"Ugh, ah!"

The next second, Ding Mo fell to the ground, the intense "Magic Sound" battering his consciousness.

Seeing this, the meat-eared monster's hundreds of ears on its head expanded slightly like petals, and it bent down as if it were about to do something to him!

But immediately, the rope around its neck pulled taut, holding it back!

Just as Ding Mo said... its strength was not great! Qin Yifei, pulling the rope, was overjoyed to see this.

But soon his expression changed, because the meat-eared monster turned its head and pounced toward him.

Qin Yifei's expression changed; he dropped the rope and turned to flee.

However, he still remembered Ding Mo's instructions and did not leave the room, instead trying his best to circle around the room with this meat-eared monster.

"Very... good." Ding Mo hissed, struggling to stand up.

Afterward, he grabbed the rope Qin Yifei had thrown on the ground—the other end of it was still connected to the meat-eared monster!

This monster was clearly a typical mindless Guaishou, but for them, its ability was extremely troublesome.

After taking a few more deep breaths, Ding Mo finally regained his ability to act.

And at this moment, Qin Yifei's screams already reached him: "Ding Mo, hurry, ahhhhh!"

He had been caught up to.

But without needing him to say it, Ding Mo had already picked up a chair and, in a few leaps, reached the crossbeam of the room.

Passing the rope over the crossbeam and tying it to the chair, Ding Mo jumped down from the crossbeam while holding it!

PS:

I just realized that in the chapter "Chapter 92: Sudden Change," my description of Jiang Liuxue telling others about her dream after waking up was ambiguous.

I have therefore modified a few sentences—in summary, in that chapter, Jiang Liuxue had already told the others everything she saw in the dream, and everyone understood how they died in the dream.
