Chapter 143

In the dim corridor illuminated only by the crimson moonlight, Charlie's voice echoed in layers, making one's scalp tingle.

Dreamed of Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi again? Lu Mian was shocked at first, then a surge of anger rose within him:

Are you f***ing stupid? Since you had that dream again, go to the nearest "Eternal Blazing Sun" church and find the clergy! I'm not your father; you don't need to report to me every time you have a wet dream!

Glancing at Charlie, whose face was filled with panic and fear, Lu Mian suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said in a deep voice:

"Don't be too nervous. This is within expectations. What you need to do now is go back to sleep, and after dawn, go to the nearest church to seek help."

Charlie had an expression as if he were about to cry:

"But, but, she said in the dream that if I dare to find people from the church for help, she will kill me on my way to the church!"

"You've had a conversation in the dream?" Lu Mian felt slightly stunned.

Charlie nodded in a panic:

"Yes, she never spoke in the dream before, she just satisfied me very enthusiastically and gently, but this time, she warned me, she warned me!"

This means Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi hasn't completely turned into a monster yet and still has some intelligence? As Lu Mian's thoughts raced, he felt a bit of pity for Charlie.

If Charlie couldn't get help from official Beyonders, he would likely end up like the three female victims in Ounite Town, indulging in dreams day after day until he was too weak and died suddenly.

Wait a minute, did the official Beyonders handle the subsequent problems Charlie might face so simply? Did they never consider the possibility that Charlie might be killed directly by Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi? Lu Mian instantly remembered Ryan, Lyra, and Valentine.

None of them, when facing similar anomalies, would have announced the case closed so lightly, telling the victim to hurry to the church for help if they encountered problems later.

Associating this with the madman upstairs who, after encountering the ghost of Monsuri, was protected by church clergy who moved into his home for a long time, Lu Mian gradually developed a suspicion:

The official Beyonders in charge of Charlie's case deliberately downplayed the anomaly brought by Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi, let Charlie return to the hotel, and told him the matter was basically resolved, and to go to the church for help if there were subsequent problems, in order to paralyze Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi and lure her to appear again!

Thinking of this, Lu Mian looked at Charlie and spoke steadily:

"If you trust me, go back to your room now, lie on the bed, close your eyes, and sleep until dawn.

"Don't worry, the matter will be resolved."

Lu Mian appeared steady on the surface, but was cursing inwardly:

You idiot, hurry back to the fifth floor! Calculating the time, the official Beyonders monitoring nearby should have discovered the anomaly and are about to take action. What are you doing standing in front of my door? Notifying them to come and arrest me?

"I, I..." Charlie had a look of hesitation and panic.

If I do nothing, will the problem really be solved?

Lu Mian quietly let out a breath, forced a smile, and said:

"Are you stupid? Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi only warned you not to find people from the church for help, she didn't say I couldn't! I can help you go to the nearest church!"

Lu Mian was now coaxing and deceiving him as much as he could, just to get Charlie away from the second floor.

Charlie revealed an expression of sudden realization and said with extreme excitement:

"Thank you, thank you!"

Just as he finished speaking, Lu Mian suddenly smelled the fragrance of grass and trees, a fragrance tainted with a strange odor.

The next second, he saw vines and branches, either green or brownish-brown, spreading across the walls, ceiling, and floor. They sealed the windows and the doors of other rooms.

At the staircase, a female voice that seemed to be gently scratching the eardrums rang out:

"Charlie, do you really want to betray me?"

Charlie turned his body in shock, his pupils dilating sharply.

He saw the woman who had been intimate with him in his dreams. Her green hair hung down from the back of her head, falling onto the floor, extending to the surrounding walls and the ceiling above, connecting with the vines and branches.

And without the wrapping of her long green hair, Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi's body was fully revealed. Most of it was naked, showing the beautiful curves of a woman, while small parts grew things like flower buds or tree burls, either red or white, or green or brown.

Those bright flower buds and brownish-green tree burls kept opening and closing with Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi's words, dripping with a viscous liquid that emitted a faint fishy smell.

This twisted and disgusting scene made Charlie feel like he had fallen into a nightmare. He stood there, stunned, with only instinctive trembling left.

Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi looked at Charlie and said with deep affection:

"Have you forgotten the happiness we had in our dreams?

"Charlie, I am your wife."

Charlie woke up as if from a dream and shouted in near collapse:

"No! No!"

Are you stupid? Just stall for a bit and soothe Su Su Shanna's emotions! Lu Mian only hated that his movements weren't fast enough to cover Charlie's mouth.

Su Su Shanna's expression turned cold:

"Then you can stay with me forever."

With these words, the fear in Charlie's eyes vanished.

An expression of obsession and love appeared on his face, and he eagerly wanted to walk toward the monster.

And a flower bud on Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi's lower abdomen opened wetly, opening unusually wide, and did not slowly close like the other buds and burls.

It seemed to be waiting for Charlie's arrival.

At the same time, Su Su Shanna looked at Lu Mian and said with extreme hatred:

"It's all your fault, it's all because you instigated Charlie to betray me!"

"You should look in a mirror and see how terrifying and disgusting you look right now. If I were Charlie, I would have kicked you out of my dream from the start!" Lu Mian's intuition told him that begging for mercy now wouldn't work, so he chose to curse back, using his "Provocation" ability to enrage the other party to see if he could make Su Su Shanna "expose" a weakness.

Just by standing there, this monster made Lu Mian feel both excited and terrified, both longing and resistant, as if he were caught in a vortex woven by various desires, producing a sense of powerlessness that was difficult to resist.

This proved that the other party's strength was much greater than his!

While cursing, Lu Mian's thoughts raced, looking for a way to stall for time.

He believed the official Beyonders would arrive before long!

"What on earth is this monster?

"Why does she think she's Charlie's wife!

"Wife..."

Lu Mian instantly had an inspiration, and Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi, enraged by his words, let out a scream.

Along with this scream, those vines and branches rushed madly toward Lu Mian. Along with this scream, the fear hidden in the depths of Lu Mian's heart was magnified to a certain extent, and he was so scared he almost fainted.

His legs became weak, and his body trembled visibly.

Relying on a burst of ruthlessness, Lu Mian barely managed to stretch out his right hand and grab Charlie, who was trying to run toward the monster.

His left hand held the "Fallen Mercury," pressing the evil short blade against Charlie's throat.

This change made Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi somewhat dazed, and she asked angrily:

"What do you want to do?"

Lu Mian laughed viciously:

"Forgot to tell you, this Beyonder weapon of mine is called the 'Cursed Blade.'

"Whoever is cut by it and bleeds will have their whole family die because of the curse, including his wife.

"And you, you are Charlie's wife!"

Based on the experience of the madman upstairs, Lu Mian suspected that the ghost of Monsuri killed not only direct relatives but also husbands or wives.

Although he didn't know how to determine if two people were husband and wife in mysticism, since Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi herself said she was Charlie's wife, then he would treat her as such!

Of course, Lu Mian knew very well that even if he really let the "Fallen Mercury" exchange the fate of "encountering the ghost of Monsuri" to Charlie, the ghost of Monsuri would still take some time before attacking Charlie's "wife," Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi, and it wouldn't affect the current situation at all.

He was betting that Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi didn't know this, and betting that Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi could see the danger hidden within the "Fallen Mercury."

This was a bluff!

Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi, who had many flower buds and tree burls on her body, froze, and the vines and branches rushing toward Lu Mian also stopped in mid-air.

Her emerald eyes then brimmed with a sense of danger.

The scene in Lu Mian's eyes suddenly changed. He saw the parish priest, Guillaume Bénet, who had a hooked nose and wore a white robe with gold thread.

The hatred suppressed in the depths of his heart erupted like a volcano.

Lu Mian let go of Charlie and walked toward the "Guillaume Bénet" he had locked onto.

But in front of him was only Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi.

At this moment, Charlie, with a face full of obsession and love, saw Lu Mian holding the short blade and walking toward his "wife." He hurriedly reached out to grab this villain and shouted loudly:

"Don't hurt her!"

Lu Mian suddenly woke up and found that the Guillaume Bénet in front of him had turned into Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi, whose flower buds and tree burls were opening one after another!

Manipulated by her emotions? While shocked, Lu Mian forcibly twisted his body, once again restrained Charlie, and pressed the "Fallen Mercury" against his throat.

Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi didn't hide her disappointment. She pondered for two seconds and opened her rosy lips.

Suddenly, the monster stopped and looked solemnly at the wall of the "Golden Rooster Hotel" facing the chaotic street.

The next second, her long green hair retracted rapidly, and those vines and branches disintegrated instantly, disappearing without a trace.

This, the official Beyonders are here? Lu Mian saw Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi's figure burrow into the wall and disappear from the corridor.

He immediately let go of Charlie, shook him while trying to wake him up, and said at a very fast speed:

"Lie down at the second-floor staircase, don't open your eyes until someone wakes you up!"

After saying this, Lu Mian pushed Charlie, returned to his room, closed the wooden door, lay on the bed, and pretended to be in a deep sleep, acting just like any other tenant.

With Su Su Shanna's departure, the obsession in Charlie's eyes also faded. When Lu Mian shook him violently, he finally regained his sanity.

In an emergency, knowing nothing, he could only follow Xia Er's instructions, trotted two steps, arrived at the staircase leading to the bottom floor, lay down, closed his eyes, and appeared as if he had fainted.

Almost at the same time, the darkness in Charlie's and Lu Mian's vision was stained with a patch of red, as if the sun had risen early, bringing daylight.

A few minutes later, a golden longsword that was both solid and seemed to be condensed from light was stuck in the ground of the chaotic street.

Its tip was pinning a thick, rapidly writhing green vine.

"Is it solved?" a young man with a sun emblem pinned to his chest asked the person holding the sword.

That was a rugged man with blonde hair, golden eyebrows, and a golden beard, wearing a brown coat with two rows of gold buttons.

He let out a breath and said:

"It's solved this time, but if we can't find the place where this evil spirit was born, it won't be long before she can condense there again."
