Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 924 Crawling in Terror
Outside the Su Mansion.

Wu Xian looked at Uncle Qi and Aunt Luo with eager eyes.

Just like parents standing outside the exam hall during the college entrance examination, watching their child's back as they go.

If these two fail, Wu Xian's action plan will have to rely on the next round of elderly people.

However, Wu Xian couldn't interfere with the illusion, so he couldn't waste the time waiting.

Wu Xian currently has no confidence in dealing with Xiao Zhuangshi of the Xiao family.

The old woman in the western area can only capture the real body by waiting for Qi Liang to come out and using the Corpse Transformation Technique as bait.

If you get your hands on the Cloud Gathering Boots, you'll be hunted down by the Eight-Sided Constables, so it's best to avoid that trouble for now.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems there's only one thing left to do on the entire second floor...

Currently, Wu Xian has three new recruits by his side. They are:

Xu Dayu, the air conditioner repairman who carries the decapitation curse, is quite bold because he repairs air conditioners and is currently the calmest one.

Possessing supernatural powers—landing silently—Wan Siming, the owner of the cultural and creative store who had just stolen the key from the security guard's rest room, was covered in cold sweat under his straw hat, looking around with shifty eyes and constantly swallowing saliva.

And Fang Aimin, who had just lost his wife and was dressed in a golden robe, was the second strongest fighter at the moment. His eyes were red and he occasionally wiped away tears.

Wu Xian stared at the three of them for a while, then smiled, revealing a set of bright white teeth:

"The three of you, after the lesson from that evil teacher, you have gained a basic understanding and adaptation to this blessed land, so next..."

"Let's go fight the boss!"

……

"I am starving……"

"My dear son, I have done everything you said, so why am I still so hungry?"

Qi Liang's body suddenly trembled, and then he realized that he had been lying on the ground without even realizing it.

This must be a path in the back garden of the Su family mansion. The ground is paved with irregular stone slabs, which are cold and damp and occasionally crawl by. The sides are planted with thorny flowers and plants, and lanterns hang from the tree trunks above, providing lighting for this garden path.

Ahead of Qi Liang was a person lying on the ground in the same position as him, slowly crawling forward.

"Take a deep breath, take a deep breath..."

Qi Liang clenched his fists, trying hard to compose himself.

He likes to introduce himself to others because his experiences are indeed something he can be proud of.

An ordinary, poor young man, driven by his love for music, started from scratch, worked hard for many years, and weathered many storms before finally building the music museum in Fuyuan City.

The musical instruments in the museum may seem ordinary, but many are incredibly expensive. What's even more remarkable is that the museum enjoys widespread recognition in the music world.

But Qi Liang had never experienced a scene like the blessed land.

Before he could accept the reality of his arrival in the blessed land, Wu Xian threw him into the illusion. His mind was still blank, and fear made his thoughts and body quite sluggish.

"Hey, hurry up and climb! The master is coming back again!"

Qi Liang heard an urging voice behind him. He turned around and saw a man dressed as a servant urging him on.

爬？
Qi Liang felt a chill on his chest. He wanted to stand up and look around, but he was met with a stern warning as soon as he tried to get up.

"What are you doing? Don't you want to die? Don't stand up! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

Knowing that standing up would be dangerous, Qi Liang quickly lay back down. The servant behind him seemed to be a good source of information, so Qi Liang turned around to look behind him, wanting to ask him something, but he saw that the servant's face was full of fear.

"The lights are going out!"

"The master is coming! Quickly play dead and stay perfectly still, or you'll be eaten!"

Why are the lights off? Who is the master? And what happened with being eaten?

Qi Liang had many questions he wanted to ask, but the lanterns on the branches above his head suddenly went out, plunging the entire back garden into complete darkness. So, he wisely kept quiet.

Trample, tramp...

Strange footsteps echoed through the quiet back garden, and for a moment even the insects and birds fell silent.

Qi Liang quickly remained motionless, waiting for the sound to approach. Soon, the footsteps reached his vicinity.

His body hairs could feel the breath exhaled from another creature's mouth.

His ears can hear the smell of stench from his nose when he smells something.

His nose could smell a foul stench with a bloody odor!
"Ah, ahh!"

Qi Liang's heart pounded wildly, and his body was so tense it seemed out of control. Just as he was about to use the Corpse Transformation Technique, a scream suddenly came from behind him.

The servant who kindly gave him the information was captured by something, followed by terrifying sounds of being eaten.

Crunch, sizzle, slurp, chewing...

After the sound ended, the lamps on the branches spontaneously combusted, and light reappeared in the corridor of the back garden. The footsteps gradually faded away, followed by the call that Qi Liang had heard when he first entered the illusion:

"I'm so hungry, my dear Xianqing, your father is already..."

Qi Liang was so frightened that his mind went blank and his hands and feet trembled. He slowly turned his head and saw that all that was left behind him was a pile of broken bones soaking in blood and still steaming!
It turns out that once the lights on the tree are turned off, any movement will result in being eaten by the 'master'!

Behind the servant, a woman crawled over the pile of blood and bones, her white silk dress stained red, but she didn't care. She just urged Su Xianqing on, her face pale.

"Hurry up and climb out of the garden, then we'll be safe. Don't waste any time!"

Qi Liang snapped out of his daze and saw that he had already fallen a short distance from the person in front of him. He hurriedly crawled forward, leaving a human-shaped mark on the ground soaked with sweat.

After crawling a few steps, Qi Liang regained his composure and continued crawling alongside the person in front of him, asking for information as he went.

The woman behind him was initially unwilling to talk to him, but Qi Liang coaxed her into speaking.

It turns out that the man who eats people is Su Changren, the head of the Su family.

Some time ago, for some unknown reason, Su Xianqing, the young master of the Su family, cast a divination for everyone in the family, and the divination for each person was extremely ominous.

In order to avert disaster and save his family, Su Changren followed Su Xianqing's guidance and did many things, including some that outsiders would consider immoral.

In the end, Su Changren still couldn't save his family.

The divination came true for him first. He was starving and began to eat day and night, quickly consuming all of the Su family's food reserves. Then he began to attack living people!
But the strange events in the Su family weren't limited to the patriarch, Su Changren.

Therefore, the master's activities were ultimately restricted to the back garden.

In addition, Su Changren only acts after the lights are turned off, attacks only the living, and does not eat corpses. Therefore, as long as you crawl quietly when the lights are on and play dead after the lights are turned off, you can easily avoid Su Changren.

Qi Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

Asking more questions was indeed the right thing to do. This information should be the key to breaking the illusion. As long as he can remain still, he can leave the illusion alive!
