Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 864 Dark Corridor
The person closest to Hu Zhongjian was Li Xiaohu.

He was so frightened by this sudden turn of events that his heart almost stopped. After recovering, he hurriedly bent down to pull Hu Zhongjian out.

But as soon as he bent down, he discovered a hole the size of a volleyball in the side wall of the collapsed beer pile.

Through the opening, you can see something terrifying on the other side!

This thing was very short, but its head was as big as a standing winter melon, with bulging veins on it like crawling earthworms. Its facial features were all clustered in an area the size of a volleyball. Just one look at it made Li Xiaohu feel a chill down his spine!

He could understand those empty, hanging corpses; they were just like zombies in horror movies. But what was this big-headed monster?
Even after the evil spirit swayed and walked away from behind the wall, Li Xiaohu's body was still trembling. After catching his breath and calming down, he heard a piercing laugh coming from behind the wall, like fingernails scraping against metal.

The laughter contrasted sharply with Hu Zhongjian's clear and resonant screams.

"Ah! I'm stuck under a beer bottle, and I can't get my hands off. My lower back hurts so much! Please help me move the beer bottle away!"

Li Xiaohu came to his senses.

"Brother Hu, don't worry, I will get you out."

They both work at the music museum. Although they have different jobs, they see each other every day and have a pretty good relationship. Hu Zhongjian, in particular, is a nice person and has never given him any strange looks because he is a security guard.

But just as Li Xiaohu picked up a case of beer, he heard a loud shout from behind.

"Don't move it!"

"Retreat! The four of us will take the left corridor!"

That was Wu Xian's voice. Wu Xian was squeezed at the very back and couldn't see what was happening in front of him. After he understood what had happened, he immediately decided to take a different route.

Upon hearing this, Hu Zhongjian hurriedly pleaded, his exposed foot exerting force repeatedly.

"You can't leave. Don't leave me here alone, I..."

However, Wu Xian's attitude was very firm. After hesitating for two seconds, Li Xiaohu decided to retreat with Wu Xian, leaving Hu Zhongjian there.

Wu Xian made this decision out of necessity.

To get through the blessed land, two of the seven of them could only die, and he didn't want to give up on any of them.

However, the precious exorcism spell cannot last long, as the terrifying horde of hanging corpses will soon regain its ability to move.

There were so many collapsed beer bottles that they couldn't move forward for a while.

Furthermore, Hu Zhongjian's waist may have been broken, and even if he is rescued, he may not be able to catch up with the group immediately.

and……

Who can guarantee that there aren't other holes in that wall? Who can guarantee that the big-headed evil spirit won't continue to harm people in the same way?
Therefore, Wu Xian had no choice but to give up on Hu Zhongjian.

The four of them squeezed out of the narrow right-hand staircase, turning sideways.

After all that commotion, the dazed and terrifying hanging corpses had all recovered, especially the one whose neck had been almost charred by Wu Xian, which was the first to bravely pounce!
Wu Xian dodged his lunge to the side, then grabbed one of the hanging corpses' arms and flung it violently toward the other hanging corpses.

While the hanging corpses were colliding, Wu Xian snapped his fingers!
Boom!

Golden lightning bolts fell out of nowhere in the room, the electric current charring the skin of the suspended corpses, and the other suspended corpses were also affected to some extent, their movements momentarily halted.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wu Xian and the other three ran into the dark left corridor. The hanging corpses did not give chase, but instead rushed into the narrow right corridor like high school students running towards the cafeteria, pouncing on Hu Zhongjian, who was pinned down, and tearing at him.

Hu Zhongjian died amidst screams that were as standard as could be.

The cause of death was the lower half of the body, which had been completely devoured, leaving only two bare leg bones with flesh still attached, and the blood stained the nearby ground red.

……

The dimly lit left-hand corridor.

Wu Xian stared at the reveling evil spirits with a livid face.

The difficulty of this blessed land seems a bit off. Less than an hour after the blessed land began, nineteen of them had already died, leaving only six survivors.

If they want to leave this blessed land, they can only afford to lose one more person. To make matters worse, two of the women, who are incapable of fighting, are not even by his side.

Bassist Liu Nana pointed at the hanging corpses in surprise: "Look, those monsters didn't chase after us!"

Li Xiaohu, who had failed to rescue Hu Zhongjian, glanced at Wu Xian and said in a slightly unfriendly tone, "Perhaps we should have taken the spacious left corridor from the very beginning."

"Anyone can talk the talk after the walk, but before it happened, who could have known that those beer houses would suddenly collapse?"

The runner, Chen Chao, tore off a piece of cloth and bandaged his bitten chest. He was filled with unease, wondering if the mouth of the hanging corpse evil spirit contained deadly poison.

Wu Xian said coldly, "The fact that the evil spirits of the hanging corpses haven't come after us isn't necessarily a good thing. This place is so spacious and there are no obstacles, yet the evil spirits aren't coming in. There's only one possibility... There's something even more terrifying than those hanging corpses hiding in this corridor!"

These words immediately made the three newcomers tense up; the seemingly ordinary dark corridor now carried an added sense of danger.

Wu Xian drew the Cursed Dream Dagger from its sheath.

The flames on the blade emitted a warm light that illuminated the surroundings.

The flame of the burning character can only be extinguished by killing three evil spirits; until it is extinguished, this thing is the best torch.

To safely navigate this corridor and find a safe place to rest, you must first understand the entire corridor.

The corridor was long and dark.

Near the outside, there were five doors. The first one was slightly ajar. Wu Xian peeked through the crack and found that it was a clothing store inside.

The store contained a large number of men's and women's clothing items that had been covered in dust, as well as several mannequins that looked quite suspicious.

Liu Nana saw the window and her face lit up with joy:

"Did you see that? On the other side of the clothing store, there's a street. Maybe we can escape from this clothing store. Perhaps only this building is crazy, and the rest of the world is normal?"

Wu Xian's lips twitched:
"I advise you not to have such trickery ideas. The blessed land's requirement is for us to survive until dawn. Even if we can exploit a bug, at least you won't find out so easily. Maybe this room is just bait to lure you into making a mistake!"

Wu Xian raised the burning dagger and walked a little further inside. By the candlelight, he saw a staircase leading up the corridor.

Where does that staircase lead?
Pfft!
While everyone's attention was focused on the stairs, something suddenly darted out from the stairs and then, like a giant spider, rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed!
