C34 (1/2)
We stand in the middle of a river of blood and a pile of white bones.
After the experience of the last incident, I can stay calm even though I still tremble a little from fear. I was thinking too.
”Su Su, we can't stand here. Let's try and find a way out.” Saying that, he took out a Gossip Disc from his pocket.
This Gossip Disc was only the size of his palm, but it was surrounded by a circle of branches and bats, and the edges of the boughs were flashing with a faint blue light.
He held the Gossip Disc in both hands and circled it. The blue light around the Gossip Disc changed according to his position. He picked a direction where the blue light was weak and led me forward.
I tugged at the hem of his shirt and followed him. It was dark and I turned on my flashlight.
We quickened our pace, and soon we could no longer see the river of blood behind us.
After walking for a while, his vision gradually cleared up. There seemed to be a big road in front of him, and there was even a car parked on the road! We thought we had seen a passerby. We felt a surge of joy and ran in that direction.
But when I was almost there, I saw that it wasn't a passing car at all, it was a car we'd turned off and parked there!
We ran back to where we started.
I was stunned, I stopped and looked at Zhang Shaowu: ”I remember, we aren't walking in this direction?”
”In a situation like this, there are only two possibilities.” Zhang Shaowu looked at the Gossip Disc in his hand, and the pointer on top of the plate suddenly started to spin. Either someone set up a bewitching array for us, or we met a Wall-Hitting Ghost. ”
”Bewitching Array? Wall-Hitting Ghost? ” I've heard these nouns before, but I'm not familiar with them.
Zhang Shaowu muttered an incantation, the Gossip Disc in his hand rotated even more, and no one knew when it started, but it started to condense into a ball of mist. Very quickly, I couldn't even see more than two meters away.
”Grandmaster Damocles! ”Break!” Zhang Shaowu carried the Gossip Disc in one hand and pointed at the darkness with the other. A light burst from his fingertip like a sharp lightsaber, piercing through the darkness.
There was a brief flash of light ahead, and the beam of light disappeared, but the fog came up again quickly, darker and thicker than before.
This is not a Wall-Hitting Ghost, I can even break through the Wall of Ghosts that I used to trap other people with my incantation, ”Zhang Shaowu retracted his hand, looked at me, and continued,” That's the Bewitching Formation, and I don't even know what rank this formation is. From the looks of it, it's definitely not simple. ”
I suddenly thought of something and asked Zhang Shaowu: ”The Bewitching Array, as its name implies, is it a trick used to confuse the people inside?” I only tried to guess, but did not expect Zhang Shaowu to verify my words.
”That's right, the difficulty of the Bewitching Array lies in its inability to use brute force. The setting of a Bewitching Array was normally via a medium that connected the caster to the person who tried to trap it. The only way to break it was to find the medium and destroy it. Furthermore, the harder the illusion, the harder it is to find a medium, and the harder it is to break through. ” Zhang Shaowu explained.
”So what you're saying is that as long as I can break through this concealment technique, I'll be able to break through the Bewitching Array?” I thought of a way.
”Right.” Zhang Shaowu nodded.
I took the Gossip Disc from his hands, looked in the direction of west, and fiercely stamped on the ground three times, shouting three times: ”Great! ”Great!” ”Great!”
Doing this in the middle of the night was easy to scare, and I felt like a lunatic, but luckily no one in the neighborhood saw me.
Very quickly, a purple figure appeared in the air before me. Phantom had arrived.
What I am thinking is that this illusion is just like a dream, it is something that can confuse people's eyes. In terms of being able to confuse others, what can be better than Phantom? So I called out.
”Spirit Master, it's been so long since you've looked for me, I thought you had forgotten about me ~” The large man spun in midair, lowering his head as he glared at me with his large eyes, getting closer and closer.
”I feel a little sick and turn my head away.” I want to ask you a favor. ”
”See, Spirit Master, you and this little brother are trapped here right? Hahahaha ~” The big brother circled Zhang Shaowu a few more times before recognizing him, ”Isn't this the little brother from last time? Why are you always together with him?
”Don't talk nonsense!” Before his head could clear, my mouth retorted at him. When I thought about it later, I really felt that it was impossible for me to accept others saying that Zhang Shaowu was my boyfriend.
”Su Su, this is Phantom! How do you know such things? ” Zhang Shaowu continuously looked around with his vigilant eyes.
”Now is not the time to explain, my lord. Can you remove the illusion here?” We have no time to waste, so we might as well get down to business.
”Isn't it just a trick? It's a piece of cake.” With a wave of his hand, a large half of the surrounding black fog dispersed. With another wave, the surrounding scenery seemed to have decayed too long ago as it began to peel off.
