Chapter 20: The Ghost King Plays an Umbrella
"What is that? Is it a creature of the underworld?"
Fan Wusuo was referring to the five creatures sitting on the edge of the entrance and exit passage on the right side of the gymnasium, which were clearly not ghosts.
Short in stature, less than a meter tall and about the same as an ordinary Yaksha, with a cat's head and a human body, five in a row sat there smiling and looking at the stage, and they did not see them participating in the auction.
"That's the tanuki clan, not a creature of the underworld, it's an authentic human monster, don't look at them smiling as if they are harmless to humans and animals, the worst eyes are them. ”
Night Star looked at Fan Wu's finger and said disdainfully.
"Tanuki clan, are you bad-hearted, what do you say?" Fan Wu asked.
"They feed on unborn fetuses, usually taking pregnant women who are in a bad mood, enchanting them while they are asleep and unprepared, and then entering the placenta to eat the fetus. ”
"The most hateful thing is to replace it, continue to suck maternal nutrition, and wait until once you give birth to show the prototype and leave, hurting many people, you say it's not hateful?"
Maybe because the victim is a woman, the night star is getting angrier and angrier the more he talks.
"It's not just hateful, it's worth killing!"
After listening to Night Star's introduction, Fan Wu felt that such a monster should not exist in this world, and thought that he would definitely destroy the tanuki clan if he had a chance in the future.
Angry is angry, and now I don't have the strength to destroy people, so I have to put my mind first, clean up my mood, and continue to ask Night Star about the strange creatures of the other two races.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or premeditation, just like the tanuki, the other two monsters are also sitting next to the passage in and out, one on the left, and the other on the opposite side of the box.
Pointing to the five monsters on the left that resembled monkeys with wings on their backs, the night star said:
"It's a monster from the Western Underworld, if I'm not mistaken, it's called a gargoyle, but they generally don't dare to walk in the East, how can they see it here today?"
"Gargoyles, from the West?" asked Fan Wu.
"Yes, I don't know exactly what the tricks are, but don't worry about them, it's not their turn to be arrogant in the East. ”
Then Nightstar pointed to the five humanoid creatures on the other side, which looked like dried corpses, half-real and half-imaginary, and continued:
"These are the mountain charm clan, the attack is poisonous, they can escape thousands of miles, and they are very difficult, but fortunately, the group is not large, and there are mountain gods of the earth ghost clan to suppress them, so they have not formed a big force. ”
In fact, there were many special races at the scene, but they were all sitting in the box like the invited humans, so Fan Wu didn't have a chance to see them.
In the conversation with the night star, Fan Wu also learned that because of the overwhelming advantage in numbers, the overall strength of the ghost clan is the strongest, but because the ghost clan fights separately, other races can be arrogant in front of the ghost clan.
Chatting about the relationship between various ethnic groups and human and ghost races, the auction was already halfway through before I knew it.
"The eleventh is ......"
Yahime was about to announce the auction of the eleventh item after the delivery of the tenth item when she suddenly stopped.
It's not that she stopped, it's that the whole scene stopped, all the ghosts, all the things stopped, and the whole space seemed to freeze the picture.
Fan Wu, like all the ghosts present, was frozen, and not only did he act, but even his thoughts stopped.
Just when the entire space was at a standstill, the bracelet on Fan Wu's left hand, which had been silent for a long time, emitted a strong cyan air current, which quickly circled around Fan Wu's body for a week, and then returned to the bracelet and disappeared.
Fan Wu did not resume his movements after the cyan airflow bypassed, but he regained consciousness.
Fan Wu, who recovered consciousness, found that his body could not move, as if he was imprisoned by something, thinking that he had been attacked by someone and had been hit by a skill similar to solidification.
Fan Wutou couldn't move his eyes and could only see ahead, and he couldn't see the situation of the night star, and when he looked forward, he realized that it was not he who was sneak attacked, but everyone who was sneak attacked, because everything in front of him stopped.
There was a dead silence in the place, including the poured wine, and the flying flotsam on the stage remained static and stopped in the air, as if it had become a painting.
'Yes, it's like looking at a painting!' Fan Wu thought to himself, 'What is going on?What is this?Is this attack skill?' ’
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a chill rise in his heart, and he felt a terrifying existence walking in from the right passage for no reason, but because he couldn't move his head, he couldn't see anything at all.
I could only feel that it was slowly moving from the passage to the stage in the middle, and as it approached, Fan Wu's hairs stood up all over his body, and his scalp was numb.
'What is this terrifying thing?' I want to get out of here!! ' had never experienced such a terrifying feeling, and the only thought left in Fan Wu's mind was to escape from here.
The body can't move, it's impossible to escape, you can only grit your teeth and die, and the feeling of horror is getting stronger and stronger.
Fan Wu felt that he was about to reach the limit of his bearing, and that terrifying existence finally came into sight.
It was a three-meter-tall humanoid, with a black robe mopping the floor, black hair and a shawl, and no face, holding a huge black oil-paper umbrella in his right hand and pulling a similar figure in his left hand but only more than a meter tall.
One big and one small black robe didn't want to go on stage, but walked to the water ghost king who had just bought a Song Dynasty oil-paper umbrella, and the big black robe reached out and picked up the ghost king's oil-paper umbrella and handed it to the little black robe.
After the little black robe opened the umbrella, he continued to pull it and slowly left Fan Wu's sight from the left side.
In Fan Wu's eyes, the scene was both terrifying and shocking to the extreme, and it was weird enough to watch the two black robes walk through a static picture.
And they took a ghost weapon from the ghost king's hand, it was as simple as picking out a pattern in a calligraphy and painting, Fan Wu couldn't imagine that there was such a method.
If it is used to attack the enemy, isn't it invincible?
As the black robe left the sight, the hair that had stood up had begun to slowly calm down, and suddenly a greater chill came to my heart, and the hair was not standing up this time, and it felt like it was about to explode.
It turned out that the big black robe went and returned, standing in the center of Fan Wu's line of sight facing him, and finally saw that it was not faceless, but it had no facial features, just a tabula rasa face.
Although it had no eyes, ears, mouth, nose and other organs, when facing it, Fan Wu felt like he was being watched by a poisonous snake, a rat that should be stared at by a dragon, his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, and his mind was in chaos.
This is a crushing feeling of force majeure, just like a person who is powerless in the face of natural disasters, it is no longer a matter of willpower, and he is already considered powerful if he does not faint immediately.
Fan Wu held on and "looked" at the black robe for a while, until he saw the black robe slowly walking towards him, and finally couldn't hold it anymore.
Consciousness began to slowly blur, and soon his eyes were black and fainted, and the last picture he saw before losing consciousness was the black robe who walked in front of him and reached out to hold the bracelet on his left wrist.
Fan Wu, who fainted, had a long dream, and in the dream he seemed to have become another person, and in the dream, he really experienced this person's ordinary life and ups and downs.
From birth to death, from death to transformation, from transformation to sublimation, and finally put on a black robe and sat in the temple, accepted thousands of worship, and finally died on the battlefield because of the invasion of foreign enemies.
After waking up, Fan Wu didn't remember many details too much, but he remembered the shock and tragic scene of the final interracial war clearly.
Fan Wu, who had regained consciousness, thought of the experience and scene in his dream: 'Could it be that this is my previous life?
"Fan Wu, are you awake?"
Fan Wu, who opened his eyes, found himself lying on the sofa, and Yexing stood next to him and asked with concern.
"Oh, how long have I been fainting?"
"It didn't take long, just a few minutes, why did you suddenly faint?"
"I don't know very well, maybe because my body hasn't fully adapted, I fainted all of a sudden. Fan Wu tried to hide that he was stunned under the pretext of the problem of body fusion.
"I haven't heard of this kind of sequelae of backdoor return, but it's good to wake up, and I haven't missed the excitement. Nightstar said excitedly.
"Watching the excitement?"
"Yes, I don't know who stole the oil paper umbrella of the Water Ghost King, and I'm going crazy looking for the thief! Night Star stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and watched the scene excitedly.
Hearing the night star say that the Water Ghost King was going berserk, Fan Wu's heart was full of questions:
Wasn't it stolen by the black-robed man? Could it be that the Water Ghost King wanted to take the opportunity to get back some face? ’
With a stomach full of questions, Fan Wu also came to the window, and sure enough, the ghosts of the water ghost clan had occupied the various exits of the venue and did not allow anyone to leave, and the water ghost king surnamed Jiang was theorizing with Yeji on the stage.
"I don't care, anyway, I can't find the paper umbrella today, no one can leave, and the auction can't continue. The Water Ghost King said loudly.
Regarding the domineering approach of the Water Ghost King, Yeji said helplessly:
"Jiang Ghost King, do you want to be reasonable, the paper umbrella is obviously in your hand, how can you say that you can't see it? Even if someone wants to steal it, it's impossible to steal it on the spot!"
"Then you mean to question me for lying, I'm a ghost king, would I lie for a paper umbrella?
"Ghost King Jiang, I'm not questioning you, but you have to have a basis to do it, the lights are bright, thousands of pairs of eyes are watching, how can someone steal something from you in this situation. ”
Although it seems that the Water Ghost King is a little unreasonable, Yehime, as the host of the auction, still has a calm attitude and doesn't want to get into trouble with him.
"If Jiang Ghost King feels that our organizer has done something bad to offend you, we are willing to apologize and compensate you. ”
"Do you mean that I'm lying? Just kidding, I'm a ghost king, don't talk nonsense, I'll leave it here, if you can't find that thief today, you will have to compensate me for my losses. ”
"Also, send a steward to talk to me, and you have nothing to say, wasting my time. Jiang Ghost King said loudly in the direction he was looking at.
"Okay, okay, Ghost King, wait a minute. Yahime laughed angrily, and left the stage and entered the A1 box.
Through the dialogue between the two, Fan Wu found a problem, as if they didn't know how the oil-paper umbrella disappeared?
"Night Star, have you seen how the oil-paper umbrella is missing?" Fan Wu asked, turning his head.
"No, who has nothing to do to stare at the water ghost king, and Yehime's slut is right, how could it be stolen at the scene, it is estimated that the water ghost is deliberately looking for an excuse to make trouble, okay! Nightstar said excitedly.
Fan Wu probably had a score in his heart, when the black robe appeared, he might be the only one who was awake and knew what was going on.
As things stand, the others probably didn't know about the process at all, or they didn't remember the pause at all.
Damn, what kind of means is this, actually let the ghosts and monsters in the audience skip the period of time just now without knowing it, such an attack method makes Fan Wu still shudder when he thinks about it, it is too strong.
Since everyone doesn't know that there has been a black robe, of course, Fan Wu won't say anything about it, anyway, both sides have nothing to do with me, so let's continue to watch the show.
At this time, Yahime had already returned to the stage, and said to the ghost king who looked up at the sky and didn't bother to look at her at all:
"Since the Jiang Ghost King is so unreasonable and dares to make trouble at our auction, then 'Xi' has no choice but to accompany him to the end, and tell you on the orders of his honor, let's go to war!"
