Chapter 373: Oak Forest

Translator: Lonelytree

The croed ominously Inside the forest, the shadows danced as if alive The sky was glooae floated on the surface of a dirty-looking pond Next to the pond slept a rotten tree trunk Fro tree It appeared to be an oak tree

“Where, where am I…” Beside the sainst his head ‘Is this an illusion or a dream? No, it does not feel like either of them…’ He was there physically, that he was certain of

‘What happened? I re to Eastern State Phecda Division with Siyu to visit one of the patients na our visitation, Little Huili started to act up and curse at me The headache caused my body to convulse and then…” Some blurry and incomplete , and then screaroup… Gu Jun screamed at the nervous Wu Siyu to leave hi him He ran down into the darkness…’Did I loseelse?’

Gu Jun’s heart sunk for both of those situations were quite likely, his ood as before There was a biological change to his brain and he was fors Furthermore, Gu Jun could not discount the influence of those curses lairl

“What is this place?” Gu Jun studied his blurry surroundings It reeked of death and decay It was clear to Gu Jun that such places would be a gathering spot for dark forces and its followers He could easily envision so a ritual beside the dark pond to extend their clutches towards innocent little girls He made a quick scan on his inventory, there were no communication devices like phone or walkie-talkie, but he still carried his backpack on his It had the five Carlot Instruments and Dirty- he could use to communicate with the outside world or to help hiaps in the foliage, he saw a starless sky The leaves rustled froe Gu Jun stood at the spot for quite sos He could hear the sounds of the forest but nothing that resembled human activity…’I probably ran away froht into the nearby forest If that’s the case, it’s impossible that no one has found me yet The base is surrounded by patrols, surveillance cauards Furthermore, no matter how fast I moved, I couldn’t outrun a canine unit They would have easily caught up to er around the base He could not fatho his advice and leave hiripped his , “Be careful!” Then he saw Wu Siyu jump forward to knock him out of the way He appeared to… have used a spell to su Was it a spell from the Seven Cryptical Book of Hsan? Did he summon Byakee from the fifth chapter? Of course these were just ht, he found that situation to be unlikely because he had not studied the fifth chapter yet

However, he was sure he did summon some kind of mutated creature and rode it to leave the base ‘Could it have been a foreign spell?’ Gu Jun was not sure He could not even tell he was still in Eastern State anymore ‘Hoas it possible that I was able to use spells? There should not be any reserve ofill happen to one’s mental pohen one succumbs to ale picked up The grasses around hih the forest He frowned and turned back to the pond Other than his reflection, there was a cluster ofon the surface Those were definitely not there earlier…

‘I can’t stay here like a sitting duck…’ Gu Jun studied the ground around him to look for his own trail of footprints but there was none It appeared like… the creature which he summoned had dropped him here and the pile of rotten … The sound of piano playing drifted on the cold wind ‘That’s the sound of a piano, but ould there be a piano inside a forest like this… Am I deep inside the enemy’s lair? Is this some form of an invitation?’ Gu Jun was no , the more familiar it felt to his ears It sounded like the Mozart piece played by the girls

“Who are you people?” Gu Jun asked softly as he grabbed the Carlot Scalpel and held it in his grasp The piano tune becaraceful andto Gu Jun However, Gu Jun closed his ears to its whispering He walked away from the source of the piano and into the dark forest However, after walking for severalcloser to the piano player…

He instantly turned around and went down the opposite direction After travelling for some distance, the piano sounded even closer Gu Jun tried all possible directions and confirmed that no matter which direction he took, he would move closer to the piano Even if he stayed at one spot, the tune of the piano approached him It followed him like a shadow Gu Jun was in the enemy’s lair, no matter what he did, it would not stop the pianoup on him In that case, Gu Jun decided to follow his instinct He took 10 steps, 20 steps, 50 steps… The piano music came from all corners of the forest He eventually traversed out from the forest into a relatively sparse woodland The area was covered with ancient and large oak trees The branches contorted to fore panorama

Beside one of the oak trees, there was an old piano covered in moss A person was seated before the piano Gu Jun’s eyes focused on the person ‘What is that, is it even hu Its body ollen like a bloated corpse, however, its arms were dehydrated and shrunken like a pair of bones Its tapered fingers danced beautifully on the piano keys Fro, an old lance at Gu Jun It had a bloated, wrinkled face The pair of eyes filled with pain

WuxiaWorldS i t e Only

Gu Jun’s heart chilled Another jolt of pain shot through his brain as a tingling feh the forest “My dear baby brother, you’re finally here…”

Under the oak tree, the swollen old man continued to play the piano
