Chapter 181: The Secret of Hogubak
"This, this, these portraits are actually alive?" Looking at the group of monsters flying in front of him, Usopp stiffly turned his head and Nami confirmed.
"That's right, it turns out that these portraits on the wall are inhabited by ghosts, and everything we discussed on the road may have been heard by them!" Listening to Usopp's question, Nami also responded with an ugly face.
"Wha! Little ones, you were already caged birds and turtles in an urn when you entered this castle, and now where do you want to escape? With me poof, Captain Chuck is here, where else do you want to go? Give it to me, little ones! I saw that the pig's head on the wall pulled out a knife next to him, and with a smug smile on his face, he brandished the knife and directed a group of younger brothers to pounce on Nami and the three.
"Usopp, find a way!" Looking at the various portraits with eerie smiles and the burly carpet bear, Nami and Chopper decisively shrank behind Usopp.
"Hey, I'm weak too, okay?" Feeling the pull behind him, Usopp, who also looked bitter, trembled and raised his slingshot. "Kill, Flame Star!"
"Ah, it's fire, run!" However, what he didn't expect was that the group of portrait demon spirits who were still menacing just now all stepped back in a panic after he sent out the flame star, looking at the slingshot in his hand with a face full of fear.
"Huh? Are they afraid of fire? Wowhaha! Setting fires is my Usopp's forte! Death, youkai! Nirvana, Firebird Star! Looking at Usopp who was cowardly on the other side, he immediately shuddered, crossed his waist and pretended to be proud.
"Usopp, you're amazing! Quick, get rid of them, we're going to run! Seeing that Usopp had indeed driven away the horrible portraits, Nami was surprised and urged that she didn't want to stay in this ghost place for a second.
"Hmph, do you think this fire alone will wipe us out? How naΓ―ve! Give it to me, little ones! Don't be afraid of this fire, if anyone dares to be afraid, there will be no forgiveness! Looking at Usopp with a smug face, Master Chuck, who also likes to pretend, was unhappy, and looked at his group of subordinates with an angry face, and issued a desperate pursuit order.
"Fight, brothers! Come on! The horrified zombies who received the death order could only bite the bullet and charge again when they looked at the flames that kept flying on the opposite side.
"Bastard, the door is stuck from the outside! We can't get out! As the three Namiusop Choba, who had moved to the door while fighting back, were ready to welcome a new student with a face full of joy, their hopes were completely shattered by the immovable door and the smug laughter coming from the wall.
"Bastard! Since we can't get out, let's rush in! Staying here will only drain your physical strength, and you will be caught! After repelling another wave of scary zombie attacks, Nami made an unsightly suggestion.
"That's all there is to it!" The trio of the trio, who had already been decided, launched another assault, only this time they chose to charge inside.
"Suffer death!" Just as they were running towards the building, the carpet bear that had just been knocked down by the Usopp Firebird Star finally extinguished the flames on his body, and looking at the lively Usopp, the carpet bear with a hateful face jumped high and pounced towards the three of Usopp.
"Lie down!" Looking at the menacing carpet bear, the three of Usopp wisely chose to dodge and did not fight it, but Chopper, who fell down, inadvertently touched what mechanism on the fireplace next to him with the horns on his head, after a loud sound. In the amazed eyes of the three Usopps, a pitch-black hole was revealed behind the fireplace.
"Quick, catch them, don't let them escape into Dr. Hogubak's lab! Otherwise, we're done! Looking at the secret passage that was suddenly revealed, Captain Puff Chuk, who had been holding the victory, finally couldn't calm down anymore, and rushed towards the three of Usopp with all his might.
"Anyway, the more they are afraid of where we go is where we are going now, Usopp, Chopper, this is the opportunity, let's go!" Looking at the group of portraits with teeth and claws behind her, Nami, who gritted her teeth, decisively rushed into the dark hole.
"Nami, wait for us!" Seeing this situation, the two Usopps, who were already six gods and no masters, could only grit their teeth and follow Qin. After the three people who jumped into the secret passage slowly adapted to the dim environment inside, the first thing they saw was the portraits hanging on the wall, and the three people who were panting on the wall suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts, "Hehehehehe! Sure enough, looking at the portrait that crawled out of the wall after a surge, the three of them began their journey of death again.
After a period of frantic running, the trio who had managed to hide in a room and escape the pursuit of the portrait demon spirit gasped for breath and relieved themselves, and finally had the leisure to start looking at the house in front of them, but it didn't matter if they looked closely, they really found some problems.
"This is? Sindoli? How do you feel that she is two painting styles now? Is it really her with such a sunny smile? Looking at the photos of girls all over the wall, Nami, who recognized the heroine, sighed incredulously.
"So this is Sindori's home?" Chopper, who was also staring at the picture frame, asked Nami beside him suspiciously.
"No, it's a man's room, and his name is Hogubak!" Usopp, who had inadvertently flipped through the papers on the corner of the desk, suddenly took the papers in his hand and said an astonishing answer.
"Dr. Hogubak? Why is his room full of pictures of Sindoli? Hurriedly ran over and snatched the document from Usopp's hand, and Chopper, who looked at it, looked at Hogubak's signature under the document and asked suspiciously.
"It seems that his relationship with Sindori is not as simple as he told us!" Looking at the photos on the wall, Nami said thoughtfully.
"Oh no, someone's coming!" Just as the three of them continued to search the room, Usopp suddenly heard the movement outside and hurriedly called the police.
"Quick, find a place to hide, if we are found here, we will die!"
"But there's no place to hide, it's terrible! Doesn't this Dr. Hogubaq have a wardrobe or something? β
Just when the three of them hugged each other with frightened faces, waiting for the fateful moment when the door was pushed open, suddenly a familiar voice came from outside. "Hogubak, damn it! Why is that? The muscles you stitched up for me started to rot after being hit by that strange ghost fire man again! You're going to have to get me a new one! β
"Bastard, why the hell is that? You'll do everything you can to get that guy back, I'm full of research on him right now! Boom! Boom! β
"Then you have to help me get my body right first! Otherwise, everything is delusional! β
"Alright, then come with me to the lab! It just so happens that my new test product is about to be baked, so you can take it with you! β
"It's Hogubak and the voyeur man!" Listening to the footsteps that were fading away, Usopp, who was quietly relieved, whispered to Nami.
"I hear that, stupid! Let's see if there's any treasure to take with us, and let's get out of this hellish place after the search! β
"Nami, Usopp, I want to go to Hogubak's lab, I want to see for myself what he calls resurrection!" Just as Nami Usopp was exchanging opinions, Chopper, who had been watching the document in his hand just now, suddenly asked with a serious face. (To be continued.) )
