Chapter 131 - 122: The Method of Control Variables
Chapter 131: Chapter 122: The Method of Control VariablesAs the ringing continued, the roses placed against the wall aged rapidly. The petals became blotched and wilted, falling one by one.
A massive crisis had arrived!
"Team leader! There’s something weird outside!! Red!! All red!!"
The Night Watchman roared, waking up everyone who was still resting with the greatest speed.
In this haunted place, the expedition team didn’t dare to sleep deeply, merely dozing lightly. They snapped awake instantly, ready for battle.
The "dingling, dingling" sound became ever crisper.
Wang Hao, who was hiding and observing from the sidelines, found his vision turning red, the scene distorting, and his body also showing signs of disobedience. He quickly took out food that restored his sanity and started eating frantically.
"Could this ghastly thing be the actual entity of "It"?...
"No, that’s not right. Is it just a common anomaly from Taoyuan Village?"
But the expedition was a tragedy, suffering a frontal assault from the unknown anomaly. In an instant, all their martial skills were brought fully to bear!
First was the old acquaintance Pan Hao, who threw an ancient dagger with all his might upon seeing the red figure slowly floating down the road!
He roared, "Hit!"
The fierce cold gleam passed through the mist, stirring a breeze.
This dagger had the ability to hit its target without fail.
The red figure did not dodge or evade, allowing the dagger to pierce through its chest.
The red figure blinked out of existence, but the sound of the wind chimes persisted.
"Dingling, dingling".
The sound drew even nearer, as if the red figure had turned invisible.
Wang Hao hid behind a rock. Being fearless, the god with Infinite Resurrection needed no fear, only wanting to see what the follow-up plot would be.
But if this red figure got involved with him, he would not be able to control the variables.
"Can you not bother me for a while? I just want to see if the expedition did something wrong that caused the Blood Demon to expand rapidly. This lady’s arrival is an inherent part of the storyline, it would appear even without me..."
"They have to get past the first level, after all."
The sound of the wind chime, perhaps some sort of special supernatural ability, was exceedingly irritating to the ear.
All the members of the expedition team were very tense, their backs to each other as they formed a circle, vigilantly watching their surroundings.
Someone tried using earplugs to block their ears, but the source of the wind chime’s sound was indeterminate.
Even with ears plugged, it remained crystal clear.
"Gregory, use that!"
"I know... Prepare the Holy Water, to expel the evil spirit!"
Gregory took out a Black Ball from his pack, the Strange Object they had saved for a dire emergency.
On the Black Ball was the emblem of a hexagram. With gritted teeth, he cut his wrist, letting his fresh blood drip onto the hexagram.
Something eerie happened—the Black Ball began to move, slowly opening a sinister eye, and an outrageously malevolent aura radiated from the eyeball.
"Where is it? I can’t hold on much longer! Find it, quick!"
Gregory’s expression turned fierce as he controlled the "Black Ball," trying to focus its large eye on the red figure.
"It’s hiding... but it’s close by!"
The "dingling, dingling" of the bell sound continued unabated.
Meanwhile, Pan Hao’s dagger flew back to him. The dagger was smeared with a strand of strange blood. Not daring to touch it carelessly, he used a cloth to carefully wipe the eerie blood off: "I hit it."
The anomaly they had encountered in the tomb was nothing compared to this one. It was a Great Witch facing a Subordinate Demon God.
The mental pressure was overwhelming.
And so was Gregory, who wore a murderous look as he
