Chapter 161 Singing Woman

"There are many mutated fish in the flood. We can try making pickled fish in the future."

I searched for this store but couldn't find it.

Next, the two of them quickened their pace and shouted at the door of the store. When no one responded, they left immediately.

"Mr. Liang, this is the safe passage. There are water stains and footprints!"

Suddenly Gu Feng found a safe passage and shouted.

Liang Yuan rushed over immediately, took out a flashlight and illuminated the corridor.

I saw a lot of water stains in the corridor and many wet footprints.

"It should be everyone's footprints. They must have gone upstairs."

Liang Yuan immediately said: "Let's go and take a look."

The two of them immediately followed the footprints and water stains and quickly went upstairs.

After climbing three flights of stairs in a row, I saw some footprints going out into the corridor outside, and some continuing up.

Liang Yuan stopped and said, "Let's see if there is anyone on this floor first."

Gu Feng nodded quickly, and the two of them walked towards the corridor immediately.

As soon as I reached the corridor door, I heard someone talking.

"Old Lu, where's your daughter? Have you found her?"

"Found it, found it. Fortunately, Miss Dong helped. Otherwise, Yuyan wouldn't be able to speak. I was really worried to death."

"It's good to find them. It's good to find them. I don't know what happened to Mr. Liang and the others."

"Mr. Liang seems to have gone to deal with the mutant octopus. He didn't come in."

"Ah? Then... then nothing will happen, right?"

"Well, I said we shouldn't leave. Wouldn't it be better to just stay in the building?"

"What's the point of your hindsight? If the people in the Hang Lung Building hadn't attracted the octopus, we wouldn't have been attacked by the octopus. This is the fault of the people here. What does it have to do with Mr. Liang and the others?"

"That's right. Mr. Liang even went to fight the octopus monster to save everyone. With his ability, shouldn't it be easy for him to escape in?"

"That's not necessarily for us..."

The people outside were discussing in low voices, and some regretted coming out with Liang Yuan and the others.

But most people still remembered Liang Yuan's good points, scolded and refuted him, and spoke for Liang Yuan.

Since these people chose to follow Liang Yuan, they naturally trust Liang Yuan more.

Only a small number of people left the building reluctantly because their husbands or sons were determined to leave.

Naturally, they complain about the current situation.

Of course, this is only a small number of people.

When Liang Yuan heard this, he reached out and pushed open the door of the emergency passage.

"Squeak-"

The door creaked, and Liang Yuan walked out with Gu Feng.

He scanned the surroundings with his mental power and saw about a dozen people gathered on this floor.

They were all ordinary people, and Liang Yuan saw a few familiar faces.

Among them were Lu Dayou and his daughter Lu Yuyan.

"Are you talking about me?"

He spoke in a deep voice, and everyone was startled and quickly turned around to look at the stairs.

When Lu Dayou saw Liang Yuan, he couldn't help but show joy on his face: "Mr. Liang, are you okay?"

When the others saw that it was Liang Yuan, they immediately felt like they had found their backbone and came forward to greet him.

"Oh, it's really Mr. Liang. I said Mr. Liang is very capable and will definitely be fine."

"Mr. Liang, how did you get back? Where's the octopus monster?"

"Mr. Liang, you're back. Captain Zhao Kai, Captain Ding Yan and the others are so worried."

A few people looked evasive, not daring to look at Liang Yuan, and some even quietly hid in the crowd.

These people are the ones who complained just now.

Liang Yuan just glanced at a few people, and they were so scared that their faces turned pale and they lowered their heads and dared not look at him.

Liang Yuan then said, "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. The octopus monster has also run away. What do you think happened to Zhao Kai and Ding Yan? Why did you separate?"

Lu Dayou said quickly, "Mr. Liang, Captain Zhao Kai and the others have gone upstairs to look for the murderer. Everyone is very angry and wants to settle the score with him."

"Many of us here choked on the water, and some are too old to climb the stairs, so they stayed here to rest for a while."

Liang Yuan suddenly realized, and said, "Then you guys continue to slow down, I will go up and take a look right away."

Lu Dayou quickly said: "Mr. Liang, I'm fine now, I'll go with you."

As he spoke, he also brought his daughter Lu Yuyan along.

Liang Yuan looked at him, then at Lu Yuyan, and said, "You stay and take care of your daughter. Don't worry about the things above."

Lu Dayou shook his head: "I'll go with you. Last time, that little bastard Sun Xu bullied my daughter, and you helped me get justice. I must repay you."

Liang Yuan was helpless. This person was sometimes too stubborn. He could only nod and said, "Then you guys follow."

Having said that, he quickly turned around and rushed upstairs with Gu Feng.

Gu Feng couldn't help but say, "Brother Liang, the guy who killed people in the Hang Lung Building must not be a good person. He deliberately killed people to attract mutant creatures and force us to come in. I'm afraid nothing good will happen."

Liang Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "So we have to be careful, Gu Feng, how is your ability recovering?"

"I'm almost there." Gu Feng said quickly.

"Cover us with your smoke. Let's be careful."

"it is good."

Gu Feng quickly opened his mouth and spit out a cloud of white mist.

This fog enveloped the four people, and even mental power could not detect them.

Liang Yuan turned off the flashlight and several people quickly went upstairs.

After climbing less than four floors, I heard bursts of chanting coming from above.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but pause.

Gu Feng couldn't help but ask: "What's that sound..."

"Shh-"

Liang Yuan made a hushing gesture, and the sound was like singing, but also like music, seemingly real and illusory.

Liang Yuan could feel that there was spiritual power hidden in this voice!
He took out two balls of cotton and handed them to Gu Feng and Lu Dayou, indicating that they should put them in their ears.

The two of them hurriedly did as they were told. Liang Yuan also stuffed two balls of cotton into himself to block his hearing.

As for Lu Dayou's daughter Lu Yuyan, since she is deaf and dumb, there is no need for that.

The four of them made preparations and then headed towards the emergency exit.

But he saw that the door of the emergency exit was already open. Liang Yuan looked out and couldn't help but frowned.

I saw Zhao Kai, Ding Yan and others standing on the corridor, and everyone gathered in front of a shop.

Everyone had a smile on their face, as if they were immersed in the singing.

Liang Yuan noticed that the singing came from this shop.

He scanned the store with his mental power and immediately discovered something was wrong.

The entire store was enveloped by a powerful mental force field.

With the strength of his mental power, he couldn't even penetrate it.

That spiritual force field continuously transmits wonderful music, attracting people's hearts.

Gu Feng and others blocked their ears and could not hear anything.

Naturally I don't know what happened.

But seeing Zhao Kai and the others standing there with strange expressions, they were also a little scared.

Liang Yuan glanced around and saw dozens of people gathered in front of the store.

But I didn't see Dong Yan, Liu Feifei, Song Wen and others.

Even Lin Laodao, Yang Shenmin and others were not there.

Liang Yuan frowned, he slowly approached the crowd and soon came into contact with the owner at the outermost edge.

He reached out and patted the other person, but the other person was completely immersed in the music and did not respond at all.

Liang Yuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he followed the other person's gaze and looked into the shop.

But in the shop, there was a girl in a white dress sitting in the shop with a black microphone at hand, and she was singing softly.

As she sang, everyone around her was unconsciously attracted to her.

Her hair was very long and messy, covering her face, so her appearance could not be seen clearly.

The white dress was tattered and had obvious signs of being torn.

The thin figure was sitting on a chair, and the lower half could not be seen clearly.

Liang Yuan looked up at the things in the store and noticed that it was a store called "Youqing Drinking Water to Satisfy Your Body".

The shop is decorated with music elements such as tapes, posters, and records.

There is a small stage near the inner wall.

The girl was sitting on a chair behind the piano on the stage.

"What's going on with this girl? Is she an accomplice to the murder?"

Liang Yuan was shocked and wondered why this woman wanted to trap everyone?

Just as he was wondering, Gu Feng beside him suddenly moved.

Liang Yuan was startled and quickly turned his head, trying to catch him.

But Gu Feng had a dazed expression and even showed a weird smile like Ding Yan, Zhao Kai and others, and squeezed into the store!
"Oh no, he's been affected by the music!"

Liang Yuan was startled and quickly looked at Lu Dayou and his daughter.

They had already shown their obsession! Liang Yuan's scalp suddenly went numb: "It's no use blocking your ears!"

"This music can disturb everyone through mental power!"

"Wait, why am I not being interrupted?"

His heart skipped a beat, then he immediately understood.

"Yes, because my mental strength is high enough, I can resist this kind of music interference!"

Without saying a word, he pushed everyone away, grabbed Zhao Kai and Ding Yan who were closest to the inside, and was about to bring them out first!

However, he didn't expect that he had just caught the two of them.

The two men suddenly showed ferocious looks, turned around and attacked Liang Yuan at the same time!

"what--"

Zhao Kai threw a punch, and his frost power exploded, turning into ice mist that continuously swept across Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan's body had been soaked in water and was already wet.

The moment the ice fog enveloped them, large areas of frost suddenly covered them and the clothes instantly froze.

Liang Yuan's face changed drastically: "Zhao Kai!"

He growled and activated [Mental Shock] without hesitation!
hum!
This mental shock, like a sharp blade, slammed into Zhao Kai's mind.

Zhao Kai's spirit trembled suddenly, and the frost power in his hand was instantly interrupted.

At the same time, he suddenly looked confused.

The next moment, he showed a look of shock and anger. The moment he saw Liang Yuan, he hurriedly shouted, "Brother Liang, hurry up..."

Before he could finish his words, his head started to feel dizzy again. The music penetrated every inch of his mind and once again controlled his spiritual consciousness!
On Ding Yan's side, the air cannon fist slammed towards Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan's body flashed slightly to avoid the punch, and at the same time he swung his hand knife with a whistling sound!
Bang!
With tremendous force, his hand knife chopped fiercely on Ding Yan's neck.

Ding Yan's eyes froze for a moment, then her body went limp and she fell to the ground.

Liang Yuan said nothing and hit Zhao Kai directly on the neck with a knife in the same way.

With his skill [Muscle Explosion], his strength doubled by nearly thirty points. Neither Zhao Kai nor Ding Yan could withstand his attack.

The moment the two were knocked unconscious by him, Liang Yuan grabbed them one in each hand and quickly retreated.

At the same time, he did not forget to kick Gu Feng on the back of the head in the crowd.

Gu Feng staggered and fainted on the spot.

He simply grabbed Gu Feng and retreated quickly.

After losing three listeners in succession, the girl in the shop suddenly looked up, and her scarlet eyes from her black hair glanced over.

Liang Yuan suddenly felt his heart pounding, as if countless needles were piercing him!
The mental energy in his mind was boiling like boiling water.

"She's using mental attacks on me!"

Liang Yuan was shocked and angry, and his head felt dizzy and painful.

This feeling is as if being hit by countless times of mental shock!
He couldn't help but yelled, "Get out of here!"

The mental power rolls, releasing mental shock!

hum!
The mental shock violently bounced off those horrible needle-like mental attacks.

He quickly stepped back.

But those mental spikes attacked again in an instant!
Liang Yuan once again felt his mind foggy and his brain tingling.

He was shocked and angry: "No, this is not a normal mutant!"

He took a deep breath and quickly opened the system panel!

"System, assign free attributes and add them to my spiritual attributes!"

"Ding, your spiritual attribute point +1!"

With the free attribute points allocated to the spiritual attributes.

Liang Yuan suddenly felt a coolness in his head, and the tingling sensation quickly subsided!

However, this subsidence was only a matter of a moment, and was replaced by a more violent mental spike attack.

The opponent has increased the intensity of the attack!
Liang Yuan was shocked: "Her mental power is so strong!"

"System, keep adding points!"

"Ding, your spiritual attribute +1!"

The next moment, Liang Yuan felt that his spiritual attribute had broken through again, reaching 24.2!

But it's not enough!
The opponent's mental strength is even stronger than mine!

"continue!"

"Ding, your spiritual attribute +1!"

"continue!"

"Ding, your spiritual attribute +1!"

When Liang Yuan's spiritual attribute broke through 26.2, the feeling of being on edge suddenly disappeared.

The mental spikes from the opposite side could not shake his sea of ​​​​consciousness!

All the confusion and abnormal pain disappeared.

Liang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"My spiritual power attribute has surpassed the opponent's!"

He added 4 free attribute points to the mental attribute in succession, and finally suppressed the opponent's mental attack!

He grabbed Zhao Kai, Ding Yan and Gu Feng, quickly retreated back to the corridor, and quickly retreated downstairs.

He ran to the next level and felt that he was out of the opponent's mental attack range, so he stopped.

Liang Yuan immediately slapped Zhao Kai and Gu Feng on the cheeks, and pressed their philtrum at the same time.

Finally woke up the two.

Zhao Kai opened his eyes and immediately shouted, "Go, go... Uh, Brother Liang?"

Liang Yuan held down his excited arm and said in a deep voice: "Don't get excited, tell me what happened!"

Zhao Kai's eyes suddenly turned red: "Brother Liang, you... you're okay, you're okay, I thought you... you were killed by that octopus monster..."

"I'm back. Tell me quickly, who is the singing woman upstairs? What happened? Why did she attack you?"

Zhao Kai came to his senses immediately after hearing this, and hurriedly said: “Brother Liang, you don’t know that after we climbed into the Hang Lung Building through the broken window, Sister Ding, Lin Laodao, and Doctor Yang rushed to rescue people.”

"After we rescued everyone, we found that several people were dead. We were all angry and we immediately planned to go upstairs to seek revenge on the culprit."

"When we climbed to the third floor, some people were exhausted, so we asked them to rest downstairs."

"We, the psychics, went up to look for someone, but we didn't expect... we didn't expect to run into that weird woman up there."

"At the time we thought she was also from the Hang Lung Building and we went up to question her immediately."

"Who knew she wasn't a normal person at all."

"Not a normal person?" Liang Yuan was shocked and asked quickly.

Zhao Kai said: "Brother Liang, do you still remember Wang Yanmei? She was just like Wang Yanmei, she didn't survive the mutation awakening and became a monster!"

"When you see her, she actually has no lower body. Her lower body has merged with the store and can instantly appear anywhere in the store."

"Also, she would sing a very strange song. After we heard it, we knew nothing more."

"Before I lost consciousness, I saw Dong Yan, Liu Feifei and the others covering their heads. They seemed to be still conscious."

"They took away Sister Mei, Taoist Lin and several others. We don't know where they are now."

He quickly told the story and Liang Yuan finally understood what was going on.

The woman upstairs is not an ordinary mutant, but a monster that failed to mutate!

No wonder the other party’s mental strength is so strong!

Generally speaking, human monsters that have failed to mutate will evolve faster than humans that have successfully mutated.

It seems that they have left everything in their bodies to be controlled by their evolutionary instincts.

Liang Yuan's mental power and other attributes are definitely top-notch among normally awakened psychics.

The only things that could threaten him were the countless mutated monsters in the flood and the humans whose mutations failed.

These guys that failed to mutate are like cancer cells. They grow and evolve wildly and are ridiculously strong!

They are no longer human.

It's a real monster!

Liang Yuan looked gloomy, and immediately said to Gu Feng and Zhao Kai: "Take good care of Ding Yan and wait here for me. I will go and bring the others out first."

Zhao Kai heard this and said quickly: "Brother Liang, you must be careful. That monster is very strange. The songs she hums have the power to bewitch people."

Liang Yuan nodded: "I know, that woman's mutation failed, it was a mental mutation. Your mental strength is not strong enough, so it is easy to be bewitched by her voice. I have a way to deal with her."

"Then be careful, we are here to pick you up."

Liang Yuan nodded, then quickly walked back upstairs.

As soon as I entered the corridor, the humming sound was heard immediately.

Liang Yuan's heart skipped a beat: "The distance of this guy's voice has changed. It couldn't reach here just now! Is it looking for me?"

Liang Yuan took out a piece of shell from the inventory without saying a word.

He put the shell on his forehead, and then his mental power surged and poured into the shell.

hum!
A mysterious rune suddenly lit up on the shell, and then his mental power quickly formed a tortoise shell-shaped shield along the cracks in the shell!

This turtle shell is exactly the rune turtle shell that contains the mental defense skill!

After Liang Yuan explored, studied, copied and carved countless times, he did not directly master the spiritual defense runes on the tortoise shell.

But they have found new ways to apply it.

He discovered that as long as he injected mental power into the turtle shell, he could activate the mysterious patterns on the turtle shell and form a mental defense tortoise shell.

This is the simplest and quickest way to use tortoise shell!
As expected, as the runes on the tortoise shell were activated and the mental defense barrier was opened, the strange humming sounds around immediately disappeared as if a radio was turned off. In a blink of an eye, the surroundings fell into silence.
