Chapter 32: Hair and Singing
About an hour ago
On the ground floor of the Flowers & Sunshine Resort
In the huge and empty space, there was a faint light shining from an invisible source, and the air was damp and dusty.
The large steam boilers creaked and clicked from time to time.
It was located by the sewage treatment station of the resort.
In the boiler room, Lu Yibei chattered endlessly in the eerie, quiet darkness.
These high-end resorts are unbelievable. I cant believe they specialize in hot springs, and yet all the water in the boiler is dirty! This is clearly a health violation; I really want to report them
Cant you just mind your own business? a man asked.
No! If you report it, dont you get a bonus yourself?
The man could feel his eyeball twitch painfully.
He swore he was about to die of annoyancethe boy before him was about to die, yet all he could think about was money. Is this person insane?
Just look in the tank! The water and boiler are so dirty. Jesus, I think you might get some weird disease if you bathe in it. Speaking of which, are there any urban legends because of diseases? Like a sewer mermaid?
No.
What a pity! Yibei sighed. Wait, wait, wait! Speaking of urban legends, I wanna talk about witches!
The man frowned and growled impatiently, Arent you scared that youre about to die?
I am scared! he retaliated. Im about to sh*t myself!
He swore he could still hear the cicadas chewing.
A few minutes ago
The man who broke into the resort hotel was stopped by the guards of the Night Division.
Lu Yibei was elated, thinking he was about to be saved. However
In an instant, the dense chirps of cicadas echoed through the forest, and the guards seemed to freeze in place.
The cicadas chirped with madness and malice, and it radiated from the mans body.
In an instant, the scars on the mans body were torn apart, and a stench filled the air.
Countless cicadas clawed their way out between the scars, and his body shrivelled up. In the end, all that was left were his skin and skeleton.
The blood-stained cicadas flapped their wings as they started to form a dense tornado of cicadas, and the swarm of cicadas rushed towards the guards.
The cicadas were ruthless, rushing into every single open orifice of the guards. The screams of pain died down quickly, and not even a single bone remained.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.coman-eating cicadas
Yibeis temples throbbed violently, and he felt his stomach turn uncontrollably.
Rabbits and frozen food, now cicadas
He didnt think he could see them the same anymore.
It seemed that the psychic energy in the space was frozen in this light, and the mans figure was frozen in place.
The hair that bound Yibei shook violently as it rustled and crawled all over him. The stone slab beneath him trembled as if something were about to emerge.
Feeling that the surrounding energy seemed to be under control, the mans face contorted violently.
Damn it! That damned rabbit!
That man never expected Mr Rabbit to take a risk and stab the Eclipse Society in the back.
Frightened and angry, the man was about to cast a spell to escape Mr Rabbits control, only to be interrupted by a loud explosion.
Boom!
Yibei didnt know what had hit him. He was on the stone slab, confused, and the next thing he knew was that he was being swept across the boiler room.
The foul-smelling sewage splashed everywhere, and the hair, like a giant python, pounced towards the man and wrapped around his mouth and nose.
The hair was a spell cast by Mr Rabbit as a trap for the man and the two women who were about to arrive. The moment the hair feels a trace of psychic energy and magic in the air, it will pounce on the target violently.
When Yibei regained his senses, he stood up, supporting himself by leaning on the wall. However, the man disappeared, and he could only see a huge cocoon made of hair.
The hair looked alivewriggling, tightening, and rustling in place. More hairs crept from the shadows, adding to the mass of hair.
I cant stay here anymore, he muttered in a low voice, recalling the route that he had secretly memorized when he was brought here. The moment the coast was clear, he ran out of the boiler room.
Bathed in crimson light, Yibei ran with his head buried in his arms. At this moment, he could hear ethereal singing, like whispers in the wind that caressed his very brain, and it echoed and vibrated deep in his soul.
Sh*t.
No matter how hard he tried to struggle against the binds of the song, his legs uncontrollably moved towards the direction of the singing.
His feet moved him towards a narrow and dark alleyway, and the singing started getting louder and louder. After a while, he found himself in another boiler room.
Above the clearing hung a fresh corpse, and a stone platform was directly below the corpse. Crimson incantations covered the entire boiler room and gathered under the stone platform.
And that strange egg that Yibei had seen in his dream space rested on the stone platform.
Blood dripped down the corpse like a leaking faucet, and distorted female faces would reveal themselves with every single drop of blood. Their whispers, their singingit all engraved itself into Yibeis mind.
And he swore he could hear two voices singing in harmonious resonance deep in his soul.
Driven by this song, he couldnt help but walk towards the egg like a corpse.
A greedy light flashed in his scarlet eyes, and his lips opened and closed intermittently. M-mine
Weak psychic energy began to emerge from his body, and like a wave, it gradually became intense and stronger.
The singing echoed loudly in his mind, and the hairs, sensing psychic energy, rushed violently towards Yibei.
The moment he stretched out his hand, his eyes sensed something dangerous, and a sharp, burning pain snapped him out of his enthrallment.
F*ck!
Seeing that his fingers were less than a centimetre away from the egg, his pupils shrank violently as he backed away from the egg.
An evil aura seeped out of the egg like a flowing river
Yibei needed to leave, and he quickly turned around, but he realized that a lock of black hair had wrapped around his ankle, and strand by strand, it groped upwards
And it pierced straight through his chest in a swift motion.
