Chapter 65.3 (2/2)
When crossing the bridge, Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously glanced below the bridge and was shocked to find that the river only reflected his shadow. The others were missing!
What’s going on?!
A sudden wave of unease appeared in Xiao Tangqiu’s heart. Finally, he realized that Shen Yuan, who had been closely following him, had disappeared from his sight since who knew when.
He quickly raised his head, but only saw Kisaragi’s distant back. Before he could call to Kisaragi, Kisaragi’s back disappeared the moment she got off the bridge.
Kisaragi disappeared instantly after leaving the bridge!
Xiao Tangqiu was shocked. He quickly looked around but he was completely alone!
What about Shen Yuan?
What about Tang Mianmian?
The others in the Reincarnation Team?
In an instant, everyone around him disappeared, leaving him alone on the bridge!
Xiao Tangqiu panicked for a few seconds but he quickly forced himself to calm down. He had to find a way to break through!
He turned around again and suddenly saw a silhouette in the middle of the bridge. That back was somewhat familiar and seemed to be Shen Yuan.
Obviously, he would not be so easily fooled. He stared at the back with great vigilance, considering whether he would turn and run back, or run past the figure and rush across the bridge. At this moment, the figure suddenly turned.
That person wasn’t Shen Yuan, it was a woman. A beautiful woman.
She was wearing a bright red kimono and stood in the middle of the bridge, calmly watching Xiao Tangqiu.
Xiao Tangqiu had seen a lot of beautiful women but had never seen such a melancholy yet beautiful woman. Her eyes were like hooks that hook right onto the soul, pulling the souls out of men. They could make people want to stop and be unable to extricate themselves.
Of course, the premise was a normal man.
But Xiao Tangqiu was not a normal man. He was a man who was familiar with various horror movie and horror game routines… so he subconsciously took a step back.
The woman didn’t speak. Her brows furrowed and her beautiful eyes were still filled with melancholy.
Xiao Tangqiu took another step back.
The woman did not speak, took another step forward, and her expression was even more pitiful.
Xiao Tangqiu stepped back again and again, but his back suddenly reached the railing of the bridge. He looked back subconsciously and he was so scared that his soul almost flew away. Where was the normal water surface under the bridge?
It’s clearly filled with screaming and crying grievous spirits. They all had bloated faces, their heads were several times larger than usual, their eyes were bulging out of their swollen eyelids… They all look like they drowned!
Xiao Tangqiu was so scared that he turned back again but he bumped into something icy cold and damp.
His heart chilled in an instant. Sure enough, in the next second, a pair of bonelessly soft and cold hands wrapped around his waist and neck. But this intimate posture did not move his heart at all.
He immediately struggled but he was still dragged off the bridge by the thing wrapped around his back. Although he hugged the bridge railing with all his strength, his boneless hands were amazingly powerful. He dragged him down to the water.
With a thud, Xiao Tangqiu fell into the river.
For an instant, the cold river water passed over his head, and he immediately choked a big mouthful of water. But at the same time he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was better to fall into the river than to fall into a pile of wronged spirits!
But soon he realized that he was too optimistic. The hands wrapped around his waist and neck did not disappear, instead becoming tighter and tighter, dragging him deeper into the river!
Xiao Tangqiu immediately struggled violently, but the strength of the arms was astonishing. The more he struggled, the tighter they entangled around him. Fortunately, at this critical moment, he remembered that the space tool given to him by Xue Junli also contained advanced ghost exorcism talisman. He quickly held his breath and found an advanced ghost exorcism talisman and then used the last of his energy to turn around and smack it onto the woman’s face!
The woman burst into screams, making Xiao Tangqiu’s ear hurt. Fortunately, the arms wrapped around his waist and neck loosened slightly and he quickly broke free from them, desperately swimming towards the water surface.
Two meters away!
One meter away!
The air in Xiao Tangqiu’s lungs gradually ran out. He watched as the surface came closer and closer. Just as he almost reached the air, his feet were grabbed by a pair of hands!
He looked down. It turned out to be one of the drowned ghosts he had seen under the bridge!
The drowned ghost looked at him resentfully with bulging eyes. Those deadly bloated hands grabbed his feet, obviously not wanting him to go ashore.
Xiao Tangqiu was anxious. He struggled to take out another advanced exorcism talisman and slap it on the face of the drowned ghost. The drowned ghost wailed and released its hands.
But soon, another drowned ghost appeared at his feet, and even a second drowned ghost came. They each grabbed one of Xiao Tangqiu’s feet!
In the depths of the dark river, more and more drowned ghosts emerged. They swam towards Xiao Tangqiu with resentment and extended their pale and swollen hands to grab him.
Although Xiao Tangqiu struggled to expel these ghosts, the air in his lungs was exhausted and he gradually began to lose consciousness. The drowned ghosts were still drilling out from the bottom of the river like locusts, the numbers growing more and more.
At this moment, the woman who pulled him down the river also reappeared, swimming over to him again. Her beautiful painting-like skin was half-ruined from the advanced exorcism talisman, leaving only half of her beautiful face. The other half was the half of the skull eaten by fish…
