Chapter 97 (2/2)
He didn’t know if it would work, but at least… he was still alive
But he couldn’t afford being tossed around… His bones were beginning to broke
You want me die? Then I’ll die…
Su Bai roared deeply and turned into a va, he became lifeless and motionless
The tentacle stopped its mad attack at once
For the tentacle, it seeet was finally killed
Then Su Bai was carried around in the air, like a public sha parade without onlookers However, the onlookers arrived soon
The tentacle carried Su Bai to a turning of the stream, and violently threw him onto an empty stone terrace Su Bai re on his storadually
The tentacle pulled back into the blood Frole, it now looked more like a root of a plant rather than a tentacle of an animal
Just then, there came the music of suona horns[2] It sounded happy and joyous, as if so to pick up his bride Honestly, Su Bai had not heard such suona horns since he was a kid
A man in red silk clothes approached on a horse, surrounded by a lot of people A suona horns; it sounded harsh but somehow metrical But these men were terribly pale with heavy blusher on their cheeks, which reminded Su Bai of the paper men he saw in the second story world he experienced They were like another version of paper men
The horse that theon was carried by several paper men, because it was not a real horse; it was made of paper and bamboo frames, and couldn’t walk by itself
As for the man, he looked a little more lively than the bandsmen or the horse-carriers He was not a paper man, but he didn’t seem to be huone, both eyes eirdly appearing and disappearing in his flesh His clothes were red, which usually stood for happiness, but they were old and were roughly scrabbled up by cloth strips
It was a strange team With their appearance, the temperature dropped dramatically
Several bandsmen came and helped Su Bai up— or rather, lifted hi But he kept his eyes open slightly, which seemed to be more common for a dead man
These men carried Su Bai to theon the horse with obvious delight; though he had no face, his mood was clear
Then he waved his hand Theand feeling Su Bai’s face as if he was testing a piece of clothes
Yes, like a piece of clothes
Su Bai watched as thehis injury and recovery and re whether he could kill the into a zombie He had no idea what thefor now
Themore and more upset, which influenced the bands
At last, the naled hisloath was clearly shown on his re face
Su Bai’s chest was slightlyup and down
He was…
… despising Su Bai…
… for his ugliness?
