Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 870 The Wandering Shadow

The crackling sound of electricity from the ceiling was like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, occasionally interspersed with bursts of sparks. The lights flickered like they were having an epileptic fit, causing the corridor to constantly turn on and off.

Miao Yue walked sideways, taking small steps through the cluttered corridor, her body trembling and sweating profusely, as if she were heading towards death rather than towards life.

"I did nothing wrong."

"Why does this have to happen? This must be a dream, it must be a dream..."

Miao Yue is an ordinary visitor to the music museum, no different from the other visitors the museum receives every day. She entered the blessed land simply because of bad luck.

Actually, she doesn't like music either.

I came to the music culture museum just to create some common topics with my boyfriend and improve my score in his eyes.

Her boyfriend's name is Wang Wei, which, like Zhang Wei and Li Wei, is a very common name, but Wang Wei himself is anything but ordinary.

He was young and wealthy, worked for a large company, was 1.8 meters tall with a well-proportioned physique and knew how to dress. Although his looks were slightly inferior to Wu Xian's, he was still considered handsome. Most importantly, he had a very good personality, was polite, knew his place, and was very gentle. He was simply Miao Yue's ideal boyfriend.

The two met by accident, and because they shared the same interests, they became boyfriend and girlfriend within a few days.

What made Miao Yue even happier was that Wang Wei had been taking the initiative to learn about her, which proved that he genuinely wanted to nurture the relationship. Therefore, Miao Yue was willing to do anything to maintain the relationship.

But this dreamlike and beautiful marriage was ruined by this damned blessed land.

After entering the blessed land, Wang Wei seemed to become a completely different person!

His gentle gaze turned cold and fierce. Every time Miao Yue was met with that gaze, she would get goosebumps. From the moment they entered the blessed land, his attention was completely off her, and he didn't even say a word of comfort.

This sudden change was like a knife to Miao Yue's heart, which is why she climbed down from the ceiling in a fit of pique.

Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of this act of defiance that she avoided being killed, while her boyfriend, who had angered her, was bitten into a cheese-like shape...

"Ah...no, I can't think about him anymore. What I need to do now is survive!"

She wanted to live, so she was the first to rush into the right-hand corridor.

The corridor was narrow and cramped, piled with all sorts of odds and ends, and filled with the rancid smell of oxidized fat.

Every so often you'll encounter a door, and the doorways are usually in relatively spacious locations.

Just now, Hu Zhongjian was pinned down near a door. Miao Yue and Xiao Sijia, the souvenir shop clerk, saw that he was pinned down and wanted to go back and pull him out.

But just as they climbed back, they witnessed Hu Zhongjian being attacked by an empty-stomach, suspended corpse!
The two women could only see Hu Zhongjian's upper body. He struggled desperately, screaming in agony. His face turned a deep, liver-colored red from the pain, his eyeballs were about to bulge out, and blood and small pieces of internal organs kept gushing from his mouth and nostrils. Eventually, he gradually fell silent amidst his screams.

Miao Yue will never forget this terrifying scene.

Fortunately, Xiao Sijia was there for her. The two of them could share their fears and provide each other with a sense of security.

The two quickened their pace as they moved through the right-hand corridor.

The corridor was long, and they encountered several doors along the way. Door number one was impossible to return to, door number two concealed a large-headed evil spirit that had overturned beer crates, door number three was impossible to open, and there seemed to be strange noises coming from door number four.

Furthermore, the further you go, the more frequently the lights flicker, and in the latter half of the corridor, the lights simply break down, leaving you only able to observe things by the light coming from the front.

Soon, they reached the end of the corridor.

They saw Gate 5 and a staircase leading upwards. The staircase was dark and unlit, and no one knew what was hidden in the darkness.

By this time, the two had separated from the main group. Neither of them had the ability to fight the monsters, so they dared not enter the dangerous staircase. They could only place their hopes on door number five, praying that this door would allow them to avoid danger and hold out until Wu Xian and the others found them. At the entrance to door number five, there were buckets and mops. Miao Yue stood at the door, mentally preparing herself, and mustered her courage to push the door open.

call!
As soon as the door opened, the two girls simultaneously felt a cold wind coming from below, along with a strange clicking sound.

Miao Yue gripped Xiao Sijia tightly, her voice trembling as she asked:

"Did you...did you feel it?"

"Just after we opened the door, something seemed to run out from around our feet. It was a very big thing!"

Xiao Sijia pulled Miao Yue's hand away and scanned her surroundings in the dim light. She sensed it more clearly than Miao Yue because that thing had bumped into her, and the strange sensation of it hitting her leg was like...

hair!

Tap tap, tap tap tap...

The strange sounds grew more and more frequent, and gusts of strange wind swept in, as if a dozen cats were doing parkour around the two of them.

Miao Yue stared wide-eyed, trying to see what this thing was.

But the light here was too dim, and the thing was moving very fast, so she could only see clusters of eerie shadows that flashed by.

"what!"

Miao Yue suddenly cried out. Despite her careful precautions, she was still caught off guard and bumped into in the abdomen by a dark figure, which then quickly fled.

With just a moment of contact, Miao Yue felt a sharp pain in her stomach, as if it were being stabbed. She quickly clutched her stomach, but slippery blood kept gushing out.

"Sijia, I'm hurt!"

"Quick, help me stop the bleeding! I have an invincible shield that will keep me safe for ten minutes... Sijia?"

Miao Yue called out to her companions, but received no response, which made her heart clench violently.

She slowly and stiffly turned her head and saw that Xiao Sijia, the shop assistant who should have been standing beside her, had fallen to the ground. The blood flowing from Xiao Sijia's body had already seeped into the soles of her shoes, making a squelching sound when she stepped on them.

"Ah, ahh!"

Miao Yue screamed with all her might, the excruciating pain and fear causing her to subconsciously activate the power of her supernatural ability – the Golden Bell Shield.

Boom~boom~
A large, translucent bell emitting a pale golden light was placed on her body, protecting her from attacks from the outside world.

The appearance of the golden bell provoked the shadowy figures, who leaped and attacked incessantly, making clanging sounds, but they could not budge the golden bell in the slightest.

With the help of the faint golden light, Miao Yue finally saw the appearance of the thing that attacked her.

But now, all of that is meaningless.

She collapsed to the ground, blood streaming from her abdomen, her body growing colder and colder, her life slowly ebbing away, her consciousness fading...

Ten minutes later, the golden bell disappeared.

The tapping sound gradually subsided, and everything in the cleaning staff's break room was moved away, leaving the corridor completely quiet.

Then, Xiao Sijia, lying in a pool of blood, stood up!
