XXVIII. Spirits and Knights
[You will eventually get the power you want].
Bai Yiquan involuntarily read this sentence, feeling like he was reciting a mantra, but nothing happened after reciting it. If you don't guess wrong, this line of words is left by the senior brother, I have to say that the senior brother's words are still very good-looking, obviously written with a pen, but it looks as vigorous as a brush word. This makes Bai Yiquan, who has been known as "dog crawling" since he was a child.
It's just such a big notebook, why did you leave this small line of words? And it sounds so weird, could it be a martial arts cheats?
Hehe, I'm thinking a lot.
Bai Yiquan put the notebook back and was about to look for other clues, but at this moment, a dull bell rang, as if to wake up the entire earth.
Knock! Knock!
Bai Yiquan was a little confused, the bell was obviously coming from the academy area, but he hadn't heard it in the past few days. Could it be that this is the lights-out bell of the academy? That's loud enough to wake anyone who sleeps dead.
Wait, Ani would be terrible if she woke up.
Bai Yiquan hurriedly put the things he had just moved into the way they had been, and then prepared to leave. But he was too panicked, and when he turned around, his left foot stepped on his right foot, so he fell forward very neatly, and his head hit the edge of the bed board, making a muffled sound. But the muffled sound was suppressed by the increasingly rapid sound of the bell, and he felt as if he was lying on the chest of a giant, feeling the powerful heartbeat in the chest, and the sleeping giant was slowly waking up.
"It hurts, it hurts. Bai Yiquan covered his forehead stiffly, there was already a big bag there. When he touched it, he felt like tears were about to flow out, so he covered his mouth with his other hand, and the action looked very funny.
Boom!
After the loudest bell slowly dissipated, the earth returned to silence once more, and the soon-to-awake giant seemed to open half of its eyes and close it again. The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of heartbeat and Bai Yiquan's own desperately suppressed wheezing sound remained. His eyes were fixed on the hallway, lest he see the graceful figure appear in front of the door.
He waited a full minute, and when the cold sweat soaked his back, Ani still didn't come out. He let out a long breath, crept up from the wooden floor, and scolded himself for being unproductive while crawling, a dignified seven-foot man, he was afraid of being discovered by a beautiful girl at night, did the roles of the two be reversed?
It seems that Ani has long been accustomed to the bell, so she did not leave the room. But safety first, the expedition work should be left behind, anyway, there are still ten days, so what to do in a hurry.
Thinking of this, Bai Yiquan felt that he would leave first and go back to the first floor to take a bath and sleep. But for some reason, he suddenly glanced out of the window, and then the whole person froze, and cold sweat and goosebumps climbed all over his body again.
What did he see?
He saw countless Spirits floating out of the forest next to the villa. At this time, the moon was hanging over the villa, and the moonlight illuminated the [ghosts], but did not leave a shadow on the ground. Those [ghosts] floated in mid-air like jellyfish, and the nearest was only five or six meters away from the villa.
Bai Yiquan felt that his heart was pinched by an invisible hand, and his whole body trembled because of the chills. But the thermometer hanging on the wall showed that the temperature was still above 20 degrees Celsius.
Delusion, it must be an illusion! Bai Yiquan comforted himself in his heart, he must be dazzled, or he couldn't adapt to lack of sleep, orβ
Before Bai Yiquan could find any more explanation for himself, one of the [ghosts] had already broken away from the large army and floated straight to the window. When Bai Yiquan found it, its entire face was already attached to the glass, just like the one he had seen on the time train five days ago, and its hollow eye sockets were still dripping blood. But this time was different from the last time, this time it had a body, and Bai Yiquan saw the two withered hands slowly raised, as if to grab himself.
Well, no matter what he thought, it was impossible for him to lie to himself that it was an illusion. At the moment when he was targeted by a grimace, Bai Yiquan only felt like he was falling into an abyss, the cold enveloped him like a tide, and the fear that spread from the depths of his heart to his whole body seemed to turn into physical shackles, making him unable to move.
"Wow-"
[Ghost] slowly opened his mouth, and a dark red tongue came out of it, directly through the glass, and stretched out towards Bai Yiquan. At this time, Bai Yiquan's mind was completely confused, and he wanted to shout, but his tongue didn't seem to obey, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound.
It's over, I'm going to die here, Bai Yiquan is desperate.
At this moment, Bai Yiquan seemed to hear the neighing of horses in the distance.
Was this a hallucination before death? Bai Yiquan couldn't help but think that it wasn't until he saw that the tongue coating that stretched out to him suddenly stopped that he didn't feel that something was wrong. The neighing of the horse became louder and louder, and with the crisp sound of the horse's hooves trampling the ground, Bai Yiquan clearly saw that the body of the [ghost] was trembling slightly.
Is it afraid? Does it have something to be afraid of?
In the next second, a tall figure rose into the air and swept through the moonlight, and the shadow was projected at Bai Yiquan's feet. Bai Yiquan lowered his head, looking like a knight on a horse, but carrying a huge scythe on his shoulder, the knight raised the scythe in the moonlight and swung it down violently.
The ghost was split in two, like a severed puppet toy, falling lifelessly from the window on the second floor.
Bai Yiquan was completely stunned. He watched as the knight landed under the lawn on the first floor, blood seeping from the scythe, and the [ghost] group in the distance seemed to see a natural enemy, and they avoided it, but they didn't change direction, and still swarmed up the academy area.
The knight did not stop, but stood in the moonlight, and the shadow was stretched very long.
Fortunately, there are shadows.
Bai Yiquan finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Bacheng was a god in the academy, although he didn't know why he was riding a horse, but it still looked pretty cool.
Wait, something isn't quite right.
Bai Yiquan stared at the knight for more than ten seconds, and suddenly found that the knight had no legs! His waist was attached to the horse's back, and the horse under him had no head or neck.
The head of the horse is the body of the horse, this is the centaur tribe? No, is there really a centaur in this world?
The centaur seemed to sense something, and glanced back, but it was too far away, and Bai Yiquan couldn't see his face clearly, but faintly, Bai Yiquan felt that he had no ill will towards him. The two looked at each other for more than ten seconds, and the centaur turned his head and chased the [ghosts] away with a scythe, and his figure disappeared in the moonlight little by little.
