Chapter 51: The Walking Dead
"Since you know where the demon's lair is, can you take us there?" Lu Xiaoxi asked expectantly, not noticing the stunned eyes of Ye Yang and the cat demon.
Looking at Senior Sister Lu Xiaoxi's smiling appearance, Ye Yang felt uneasy in his heart, and hesitated: "Senior Sister, aren't you surprised at all when you see this cat demon talking?" ”
"Huh?" Lu Xiaoxi glanced at him strangely and laughed softly: "What's so strange about this!" As long as the demon beast awakens its bloodline and breaks through to the demon qi stage, it will be equal to the qi refining period of human cultivators, open up its wisdom, and have the ability to speak. This is the basic common sense taught in the demon beast chapter of the spirit science course taught in high school! ”
"Huh! Common sense ......" Ye Yang wiped the cold sweat on his head and looked embarrassed. It turned out that I was nervous for a long time, and what I wanted to cover up was just common sense taught in textbooks in the eyes of others.
Looking at his speechless expression, Lu Xiaoxi seemed to understand something, and laughed softly: "But now the demon beasts of the demon qi period have rarely appeared in the human world. It's best not to let others know that you have a pet cat demon that can talk! Otherwise, I am afraid that it will arouse the greed of others. ”
"Hmm!" Ye Yang nodded solemnly.
"That's right! Since you, the cat demon, have fought against the red-clothed demon three times, and you have only been slightly injured. Then we must know where the demon's lair is, can we let it take us there? At this time, Lu Xiaoxi continued to ask excitedly and asked Ye Yang for advice.
Ye Yang hesitated, looked at the cat demon, and didn't know how to answer!
"Meow! What the? You're going to the devil's lair! You will not be afraid of the evil spirit. Don't blame me for not reminding you, that evil ghost is so fierce that I can't even clean it up, and you can't clean it up! The cat demon glared at him and said in surprise.
Syllable!
A finger lightly tapped on the cat demon's forehead, immediately drawing a glare from it.
"That's it! Look down on people less. Tell you that Senior Sister Lu Xiaoxi is a student with a literary specialty in our school's Law Enforcement Student Association, and her means are powerful. The demon was injured by her evil thunder talisman before. You just have to lead the way, and you don't need to think about safety as for it! Ye Yang couldn't see its pride and look down on people, and said confidently.
"Meow! Is there a special student in rune literature? A pair of vertical pupils silently stared at the seemingly weak girl in front of her, and the cat demon muttered to herself.
Suddenly, it seemed to think of something, made up its mind, and said in a deep voice: "Meow! All right! Come with me, but don't worry that I didn't warn you, things will happen to you more than you can imagine, so be prepared! ”
"That's it! Lead the way! Ye Yang urged impatiently.
"Meow!" The cat demon glared at him angrily, screamed suddenly, and rushed out of his embrace.
"Hurry up!" Lu Xiaoxi didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly followed.
In the narrow fork in the road, Ye Yang and Lu Xiaoxi hurriedly followed the pace of the cat demon.
And what frightened him was that the more he went, the more cold and terrifying the atmosphere in front of him became.
In his eyes, he could see that the gray ghost aura had turned into a mist almost like a substance, permeating the entire space.
"Meow! Be careful. We're almost there! A reminder came from the cat demon ahead.
didn't have time to think too much, Ye Yang hurriedly chased after him.
"Huh! Where is this? At this time, the eyes of the two suddenly lit up.
When they came back to their senses, they immediately looked at each other.
They were in an aisle, lined with clean classrooms, and the entire aisle revealed a dim light.
They came to a school building again.
"Are we back on the fourth floor of the old school building?" Ye Yang's heart was shocked, and he exclaimed.
"Nope! Ye Yang, look! This is not the fourth floor, but the ninth floor! Lu Xiaoxi shook her head and pointed to a place.
Ye Yang followed the prestige, and saw a big "nine" on the wall on the side of the stairs behind him.
At this time, Lu Xiaoxi stared at the word "nine" for a long time, with a thoughtful expression.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said loudly, "I know! I don't know what's going on inside this haunted house, but it has formed a pattern similar to our school building. We entered the fourth floor of the building, which was dilapidated and decaying. And the real core of this haunted mansion should be on the ninth floor. But why does the ghost house only have the fourth and ninth floors, and there are no first and second floors, what is the meaning of all this? ”
As she spoke, she became confused again.
"The meaning of 'death' is four-way, and the meaning of nine is the meaning of 'salvation'? Does it mean that this ninth floor is the way out for us to be rescued, or does it imply that we save people and who are we saving? Many wonderful thoughts flashed in Ye Yang's heart, and he couldn't figure out his mind for a while.
Just as they were puzzled, the sound of unison footsteps caught their attention.
I saw a group of familiar backs walking in the corridor on the ninth floor of the classroom.
They were wearing the uniforms of Mingzhu Xiuzhen High School and walked straight over.
"Zhao Tian, Luo Qian......, you are actually here! That's great! Lu Xiaoxi shouted their names one by one and stepped forward in great surprise.
"Meow!" Suddenly there was a terrible roar, and the cat demon said coldly: "Be careful! Look at their faces! ”
Ye Yang looked at it suspiciously, immediately took a deep breath, and hurriedly grabbed Lu Xiaoxi, "Senior sister, look!" ”
The eyeballs turned upwards, revealing pale eyeballs. There was no expression on everyone's faces, their mouths were wide open, and saliva kept dripping from the corners of their mouths. Their bodies were stiff, and their hands were stretched straight forward, like marionettes.
Ye Yang pulled Lu Xiaoxi and hurriedly stepped back.
The strange thing is that although the people walked in front of them, they didn't realize their existence at all, and walked straight over.
They walked and jumped, forming a line in an astonishingly consistent pace, wandering back and forth in the aisles like zombies.
Seeing this strange scene, Ye Yang was surprised: "What's going on with them? How to be like a zombie! ”
"Meow! They've been captivated by the demon, their consciousness has been blocked, and now they're just a bunch of walking dead! The cat demon said in a deep voice, his face gloomy.
"So how can we get them back? Is there anything you can do? Lu Xiaoxi's voice was urgent.
"Meow! It can't be helped, only if you subdue the evil spirit! The cat demon shook his head, indicating that he was helpless.
Lu Xiaoxi's eyes darkened, and she was about to continue to ask.
Suddenly, a strange voice came from the depths of the aisle in the distance.
Jingle bells!
Jingle bells!
The empty and crisp sound of the bell echoed throughout the space, so rapid that it struck on their hearts one by one, as if urging them to die.
"Senior sister, look!" Ye Yang's eyes widened suddenly, looking at those walking corpse-like classmates.
Hearing the ghostly ringing, they seemed to sense something.
I saw that their footsteps stopped abruptly, turned around expressionlessly, and suddenly jumped towards the teaching building. And Ye Yang's eyes were full of horror, as soon as the ghost bell rang, a burst of ghost aura surged from the depths of the entire teaching building like a stormy wave.
