Chapter 48: The Soul Contract (24)

"The heavens are changing! …… What a daring youkai! Evergreen finally stopped his futile work and looked up at the sky outside the hall.

There were black clouds like ink, as if they had been poured with the most dripping ink. The "dragon" shuttling in it seems to be hidden and always refuses to show its true face.

My eyes were sad, and the feeling of being burned and having a foreign object made me feel extra irritable.

But I didn't dare to move.

The "hand" on his shoulder has been on his shoulder, and he has no intention of taking it back. Through my clothes, the bright chill still penetrated my heart, and I couldn't help but tremble slightly. As if sensing my complicated feelings, the spirit stone vibrated with me, silently conveying uneasy and depressed emotions.

This moment is just a brief calm before the storm!

Another flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

Three living corpses walked towards the hall, their faces squirming with "red lines", the corners of their mouths grinning wide, and smirking as they were.

My neck tightened, and a thin paper-like "face" fluttered lightly and chaotically pasted pasted on.

"It's time for the sacrifice to be served!" Principal Gao's serious voice came to his ears.

"She's not your sacrifice." Xiao Zhen behind her voice was shrill and mocking, "Because she has long been mine!" ”

Before I could finish speaking, a huge claw roared from behind, threatening to smash my head.

"Hey, hey! Do you dare to rob my master's things? "Two black, fluttering arms of cartilaginous snakes wrapped around its claws, making it unable to advance or retreat.

Chang Qing hurriedly waved a yellow talisman, pinched his fingers and silently recited the spell, and the talisman turned into a series of sharp arrows with firelight, all of which shot at the two entangled monsters.

The shadow writhed its dark body, and the golden light of the fire flickered out.

The snow-white claws stretched out long nails at the front end, and there were a few crisp sounds of "sonorous sounds", and between the ups and downs, the "sharp arrows" fell to the ground.

Chang Qing was about to throw out another talisman when his shoulders suddenly tightened, and two pale hands grabbed him strongly. The owner of the hand was laughing, his smile was bright, but no breath of life escaped.

It was a puppet, a puppet-like smile, and it was clear that the vitality had long been cut off, but it was still - so similar! Changqing's brow furrowed, and the disgust was irrepressible. He poked his finger and backhand, and a powerful "Five Thunder Exorcism Talisman" shot out silently between his fingers.

The yellow light was wrapped in five slender and complicated red characters, and in a flash, three "people" were shot.

Without dodging movements, the scarlet letters quickly printed three bodies without temperature, right in the middle of their foreheads.

......Without exception, their foreheads quickly blackened, burned, and collapsed, and the thick white gas was accompanied by a faint red light, which was very ethereal. But their mutilated faces were still smiling, without the slightest pain or fear, but they all reached out together, and with the other, they struck Changqing hard. The wind is whistling, the speed is extremely fast, and the power is considerable.

Here, the two youkai who had gotten rid of the yellow talisman continued to fight with wide eyes. Over there, Changqing, who was frowning, dealt with three "living corpses" that could not be beaten alone.

The crazy old man stopped screaming at this time, his eyes were looking straight in the direction of the teaching building, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

The sky outside the hall grew darker. A faint fishy smell crept through, and the churning thing in the clouds firmly attracted the big men who were standing. The appearance of the great does not represent the strength of the heart, they panicked, and they will only look at the sky with frightened eyes, and there is no other action!

In the hall, there were two idle people left.

"How are you? Are there any injuries? Teacher Lu, who was huddled in the corner of the hall, asked me in a low voice.

"Nope." I shook my head slightly.

"That...... Is he really a school worker at our school? I pointed to the crazy old man on the side of the steps.

"Yes." He smiled slightly wryly, "However, he wasn't crazy before today!" ”

"Didn't he leave school because he was crazy?" I was surprised.

"Yes...... What did he tell you? He couldn't help but turn his head to look at "Principal Gao": "In fact, when I was transferred to the school two years ago, he had just changed his school worker, and the reason was that the original school worker was too old. ”

"I see! …… That said, there is no such thing as a so-called death list! I said to myself.

"What list?"

"Didn't you suspect that he killed Ding Zhongheng and them?" I ignored his questions and coldly posed my questions. Ever since he gave Chang Qing a strange look that day, this question has been haunting me.

"Ahem, I'm ...... I have long suspected it! He whispered distractedly, "I know that the last person Ding Zhongheng saw before they died was him, I felt that something was wrong!" There is also the dean of education and the old grandson of the academic affairs office, after talking to him in the teaching office that day, he fell ill and became delirious soon after......"

"So you went and rummaged through the evidence yourself?" I remembered Ge Hong's words, what kind of Principal Gao went to the teaching office early in the morning to sort out the documents, I see!

"Nothing, though!" He shook his head self-deprecatingly.

Of course I can't find it! Youkai is not human, who has ever heard of it killing people and still need to make a plan? Not to mention leaving fingerprints, footprints and the like.

"Shh......h An even more terrible devil is coming! The crazy old man, who had been staring in the direction of the teaching building, suddenly turned around and said to Teacher Lu and me with a strange expression.

Devil?

We subconsciously looked at the "Principal Gao" and "Xiao Zhen" who were still entangled together, and saw two shadows, one black and one white, dripping and circling in the center of the hall, stirring up the wind and whistling, and basically lost their figures.

"There, there! …… It's coming! The crazy old man stretched out his trembling hand and pointed firmly in the direction of the school building.

"Who is it?" Teacher Lu leaned against the wall and turned his head to look at the place where he was pointing.

The wide corridor connecting the school building to the office building was empty.

My eyes burned as if they had been sprinkled with quicklime, and strangely enough, there was not a drop of tears. The scene in front of me became unusually pale and weak, like a dying old man, and the aisle writhed like a great snake, which was extremely strange.

"Where else is the devil? It's crazy! Teacher Lu, who stretched his neck and looked at him for a long time, couldn't help frowning, with a look of embarrassment and annoyance on his face.

Didn't he notice the anomaly in that aisle?

Or, something is wrong with my eyes?

My heart cooled.

The "Soul Splitting Bead" on my wrist was also cold, close to me, trembling slightly, as if looking for some comfort. Or maybe it's uncertain, waiting for something.

I suppressed the panic in my heart, and with a calmness that bordered on despair, I waited, waited for the inevitable truth to come.

"Why are you staring there? There...... It's not nothing...... Have it? "Maybe I'm looking too ...... Calm down, Mr. Lu's eyes became more and more flustered when he looked at me, and his voice became lower and lower. In the end, he rubbed his eyes as if he didn't believe his eyes, and stared at the large empty aisle without blinking.

I was speechless.

In my eyes, in the deformed space that has lost its color, there is an invisible smell slowly approaching.

It was the breath of death, rotten, stench, dark, and made everyone want to tremble in boundless fear!

Very slowly, maybe very fast, so fast that I lost the ability to judge the length of time.

A golden phantom Shi Shiran has appeared!

Heaven and earth have lost their voices!

It's also silent.

Maybe it's ......********.

All eyes turned to it.

I've seen it before, in the "pages" of Chen Qiu's spell. But I didn't expect it to bring me such deep fear when it actually appeared.

My trembling body was still standing in the corner of the hall, my face was as white as paper, although I was depressed, but I didn't collapse in the corner of the hall like Mr. Lu, or crawl on the steps like a crazy old man.

But the most stressed is my heart. The smear gold, ethereal like a dream, a most desperate and terrifying dream. Invisible power was now everywhere, making souls feel as if they were about to be broken.

"Golden Silkworm Shadow!" Evergreen murmured.

No one spoke up.

As if the picture freezes, everyone, including the monsters—the shadows, the cat ghosts, and the living corpses—stop moving, staring stupidly at the golden phantom.

Before a breath, it was far away at the end of the aisle, and after a breath, it was already in the hall.

It's so fast that so many of us have so many eyes fixed on it, but we can't see what shape it is!

Perhaps, it just has no shape!

"Hey! What's weird? The shadow stared at it.

"Why don't you try it?" The corners of Xiao Zhen's mouth flashed with a vicious sneer.

"You think I wouldn't dare?" The shadow snorted conceitedly, and its body floated lightly, its arms turning into long ropes, and wrapping around the gold.

I felt a sharp dizziness and had to lean against the wall. But as soon as my back touched the wall, it stinged, and I tried to turn my head to look, and the hall began to twist and deform. The thick cement steel bars poked out slowly and silently from the broken walls, like the tips of bamboo shoots breaking through the earth.

Everything I saw in my eyes had turned a dull gray, except for the bright gold. It flickered slightly in mid-air, and the circle of arms of the shadow scattered like droplets.

The shadow froze, and two more arms sprouted from his own stump to collect the shards that had flown out. Although it was not flesh and blood, it could still be seen that it had been badly damaged. Because its reborn arms were much thinner than before, and the paper-thin body had shrunk a lot, and the fragments had lost the possibility of restoring their original shape.

The gold seems to be brighter than it was just now!

It moved, and swept through the hall.

Before we could react, there was a heart-rending "plop" sound outside the hall! Those who stood outside the hall were falling one by one!

Outside the hall, it was as dark as ink, and there was no thunder or lightning.

The things that shuttled through the clouds swirled mechanically, dumb, and refused to make a sound.

I looked at Evergreen, and the fear in my eyes could not be hidden.

He nodded vigorously at me, and quickly pulled out an old piece of yellow paper from the bottom of his pocket, and folded a paper crane in twos and threes. Then, whispering a syllable for a moment, the crane flapped its wings and raised its head. Chang Qing bit his middle finger and solemnly put blood on the top of the paper crane's head.

As soon as the blood was dropped, it disappeared without a trace.

The crane's body glowed with a cyan light, and it raised its head high and cried clearly.

The sound is like a crack!

The hall shook violently.

"Let's go together! Otherwise, no one can escape today! "Evergreen's voice is rarely bleak.

Shadow and Jane glanced at each other and took a step in tacit understanding.

The shadow swelled up rapidly, Xiao Zhen's eyes burst out with a bright murderous aura, her figure gradually blurred, layered, it seemed that many of her were slowly parting, and the raised hands turned into sharp giant claws.

A deadly threat brings two suspicious youkai into unison.

The color of the swollen shadow is getting lighter and lighter, but the murderous aura is getting stronger and stronger.

Xiao Zhen's body seemed to be moving, and countless pairs of sharp claws that seemed to be real expanded and contracted in the void with her flashing figures.

The golden flicker remained unmoved, as if it did not take any of this into its eyes.

The golden light stabbed my eyes, but my eyelids seemed to be held up by something, and I couldn't close them.

Let's end it!

This long and seemingly endless journey, this pointless and frequently criticized persistence, since it cannot change the trajectory of fate, then, it is a relief to quickly uncover the truth! I heard my heart shouting frantically.

Looks like I'm about to collapse too!

Otherwise, how could I see that gold slowly turning towards me?

Will it take my life?

I leaned against the deformed wall, and I felt a sense of powerlessness that I was lazy and wanted to fall asleep.

Can't wait any longer!

The crane leaped from Changqing's hand with a loud cry, and it grew in the wind, its beak and claws together, pecking fiercely at the gold.

Then came the overwhelming cold light and the sound of tearing wind, mixed with the shadow of a cyan crane and a terrible howl, and the scene of the end of the world was in front of you!

The gold swayed leisurely in mid-air.

I sat on the ground with my swollen head in my hands, and the debris was splattering like a shattered black and white kaleidoscope.

A short scream, accidents, resentment, and more fear to the bone!

I thumped my head hard, and my consciousness became clearer for a while. But when I glanced at it, I realized that the situation in front of me was terrible!

The shadows were gone, and countless gray shards were scattered on the ground in the middle of the hall.

The evergreen cranes fell to the shards in a charred black mass, flapping their remaining wings in vain.

Xiao Zhen is snow-white, with short ears, sharp claws, and a long tail, which has been revealed in its original form. Around her body, drops of "water droplets" dripped and dropped. There are seven crystal clear "droplets" in total, each of which is the size of an apple. I couldn't tell what she was hurting about, but her expression was very strange, and the scream just now came from her mouth. She took a deep breath, tilted her head, and her snow-white body suddenly turned into a dark brown light, and with a snort, she rushed out of the hall like a meteor and threw herself into the inky black sky.

At the last moment, she glanced at me quickly. In Xueliang's eyes, there is annoyance, horror and unwillingness, as well as a strange reluctance, and there seems to be a lot of complex meanings that have not had time to speak.

I didn't continue to figure it out, just cast my eyes on the ground before she left. The "water droplets" froze motionless on the ground, and the light gradually dimmed, as if they had lost their vitality.

"Run! ......" Changqing suddenly shouted hoarsely.
