Chapter 233 - What They are Trying to Accomplish

Moreover, since Old Xiong was keeping the gun holder busy, Tang Mingming and Yi Junhai were overwhelming Qiao Ni. She might be a very powerful shaman, but in close combat like this, without a weapon, she was nothing. That was why the Qiao family envied the Mian blood for being able to summon a ceremonial soul sword. Fan Meiling, however, only backed off again and again until she backed into the stair door.

"…Y-Yinxie, you bastard! Show up!" However, no matter how much she called for him, there was nothing. Perhaps he was really dead… considering the things in this supposed safe place. She then fished for her phone and tried to look for a recording of something. When she found it, she stared at it for a while. "Dammit, I only realize that that bastard was really prepared to protect me."

"...…" From her phone sounded a sutra of the Mian family. It was so powerful that Tang Mingming and Yi Junhai didn't waste another second before fleeing far away. As long as they could hear the sutra, they would burn. As for Old Xiong, he was losing his black bear look. He was being cleansed by the sutra at a speed he couldn't explain.

"Move it. We're leaving." Fan Meiling knew that the sutra was only a few minutes long. She couldn't continue replaying it again and again since the phone would need a few seconds to rewind it from the beginning. Song Qixi and Qiao Ni couldn't believe they would be saved by a smartphone, but they still all fled.

Old Xiong then felt strange as he looked at his totality. His corruption was completely wiped out. He then looked around to find the scorched greater ghost. However, he couldn't find Tang Mingming… which meant he was still alive for being able to enter concealment. The black bear only needed to walk back inside the room to keep Ruan Jin company. However, before it could leave, Li Feng walked into its path.

The man recognized the black bear teddy from the hospital. This must be Old Xiong. Li Feng couldn't believe that there was indeed a black bear guardian… more when it started talking to him. "Xiao Feng, you should hurry back inside the room. It's not good to be out here."

"…ah, thank God, it's not Big Brother…" Li Feng was prepared to hear it, but it was good that the bear addressed him differently. The bear only laughed in response. He then vanished before Li Feng could ask more questions. This made Li Feng frown. "Old Xiong escaped? Dammit… I heard Master's sutra. Wait, Guangru's not here if Old Xiong came. I almost got scared that it would harm him…"

He then returned to the room and saw that Mian Qingtao was also awakened as if hearing the master's sutra was as good as being scolded. Not only him, but even Sun Yinxie regained consciousness from hearing it. Not because it was the master's sutra, but because he could somewhat recall it being one of the recordings he sent to Fan Meiling before.

"…ah, damn… they must have gone up here. Ah, shit…" He tried to move around, but Li Feng tied his wrists separately so he couldn't use his nails. "Damn brat…"

…

Liu Xiaodan and the rest had crossed to the connecting bridge, but they had not encountered anything anymore. The facility could only have so many, and a lot of them had been eaten by Guangru and Liu Xiaodan. However, they had yet to go to the other end of the Treatment Hall. What shocked them was that the bridge to the Sick Hall was sealed shut. Chu Youlan said that the fire must have caused the bridge to automatically close on its self.

It was good, Liu Xiaodan thought. It would be for the best if Abaddon would be crossing the bridge for now. Then again, he had no idea if there were protective formations on that place. No matter, they still proceeded to where it all started. The bridge to the Treatment Hall was dark since all the lights had been closed down in here. Liu Xiaodan entered the shutter door that he had opened and stepped into the void once again.

Chu Youlan was still tracking the body, but the map was only putting it in just one place. Could it be that the tracker has been dug out? That wasn't right; the tracker was directly in the heart of the dead body. It's just that Chu Youlan didn't know how Liu Xiaodan would react if he found Yun He's body lugging around because it was possessed by some spirit. She just hoped he wouldn't readily kill her so she could die with Song Qixi instead.

"Where are we going? What is it that you want to show me?" Liu Xiaodan asked as Chu Youlan led the way. She didn't know how to answer… but she didn't have to. It was because she detected a foreign thing coming right at them. Liu Xiaodan didn't summon his Kings, and he only pulled Chu Youlan away.

Bang! A gross figure landed in front of them, and its prior state had already diminished. The four mangled bodies had been turned into a ball of mangled limbs. Qiao Shan felt her blood ran cold at the sight.

"Ahahaha! Take a look, Mother! More humans to offer themselves to your love!" The voice of a ten-year-old made Qiao Shan's face uglier. Soon, Mo Xingli walked into the sight, ferried by a mangled body that she was using as a seat. She then pointed in the direction of the three. "Devour them, Mother!"

"Bitch, you came to me so you can die!" Qiao Shan screamed as she spread her hands. The red lady swirled around her, but she didn't seem to be a separate entity. Qiao Shan's body then started being coated with blood as she laughed out like a deranged woman. Her palms started to bleed, and cloth-like things started to fall from a huge cut on her palms. She then jumped at the mangled creature.

Liu Xiaodan wasn't shocked by what he was seeing. He already knew that Qiao Shan's companion was not a King but a demon. However, unlike Guangru, that demon didn't have a consciousness of its own. It was like it was just there to lend her power to kill. It didn't seem to be feasible for growth as demons needed their own will to gain d.e.s.i.r.e. Then again, that would have been Liu Xiaodan's enemy in another time.

Compared to him, Chu Youlan was doing very badly. She hid behind the taller male and clutched at his shirt. She then started murmuring, "X-Xiaodan, are demons really this scary? You… you do realize that this woman… is Red Justice, right? This is what they had been trying to accomplish…"

"Is that right? But it looked incomplete to me." Liu Xiaodan frowned. That was because Qiao Shan was not yet fully mindless like the demon with her. Moreover, Qiao Shan's control was too reckless. As someone who had been using a demon's power for a while now, he could feel like Qiao Shan wasn't really fused with the demon yet.

Chu Youlan shook him a little. "How would you know what they were trying to do?! Ay, I didn't mean to scream at you. Then again, what makes you sure that it's still incomplete?"

Liu Xiaodan only smiled. "She's still human."
