Nightmare Light

Chapter 147 The Strange Attacker

"Brother Lin Wang, I have a second plan."

In the sealed room, the firelight was dim, shining on the mercury-like pool and on the roof.

Lin Wang and Lu Shan, father and daughter, stood beside the mercury pool, their shadows twisted on the walls of the stone chamber, like eerie and grotesque monsters.

However, because of the candle in Ji Xuance's hand, the shadows on the wall flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, like a bizarre shadow play.

Lin Wang looked at the expression on Ji Xuance's face, then looked at the timid girl next to him, and suddenly smiled, revealing his white teeth.

"Let's not talk about your plan for now... What I want to know is, if I don't care, why should I help you?"

"Brother Lin Wang...I suggest you listen to my plan first."

Ji Xuance's face flickered in the candlelight, but his eyes were frighteningly bright. "After listening to the plan...it's not too late for you to draw a conclusion."

He used the word “conclusion” instead of “decision”… haha.

Lin Wang smiled and did not refuse the other party's request.

Anyway... forget it, it's too depressing to say it out loud.

"You say it."

"Brother Lin Wang, if you are not interested in the gifts from these gods, and are not interested in my daughter... Of course, I am very sorry about this."

"Father!"

Ji Xuance ignored his daughter. "My plan is, Brother Lin Wang, you can absorb this divine power first, and then... I have a secret technique that can transfer this divine power out of you."

His eyes grew brighter. "In this way, the original gift from the gods becomes a powerful force that even mortals can wield!"

"You transfer this power to... a certain Lushan. This way, you can continue to transcend the mundane world, but Lushan can still return to imperial power! The best of both worlds!"

Ji Xuance danced with joy, and his shadow also danced wildly: "How about it! Brother Lin Wang, my method is okay, right?"

"That sounds like a good idea..." Lin Wang seemed to be infected by Ji Xuance, and he also smiled and nodded, "But here comes my question - let's not talk about the question of why I should hand over the divine power if I get it..."

"I just want to know one thing. If I really did obtain this divine power and was truly willing to hand it over... what would the price be?"

After Lin Wang finished speaking, the sealed room suddenly became quiet.

Ji Shuying's eyes flickered and she glanced quickly at her father.

Ji Xuance also stopped dancing and was silent for a few seconds. He forced a smile at Lin Wang: "Brother Lin Wang... Actually..."

"So, I'm going to die, right?"

Lin Wang looked at Ji Xuance quietly. Seeing the embarrassment gradually appearing on his face, he sneered: "Do you think I will agree?"

“Brother Lin Wang, it’s not that serious that you’ll die.”

Ji Xuance grabbed the pendant on his chest and said, "The transfer of divine power will consume some lifespan... If it were an old man, he might die, but you are so young, it will definitely not happen..."

"It's not a question of if." Lin Wang interrupted him, narrowing his eyes and smiling. "Are you confused? I'm not even interested in being the emperor, so why should I sacrifice my life to help you?"

Ji Xuance tightened his grip on the pendant, veins bulging on his hand. He took a few steps towards Lin Wang and said, "I think...Brother Lin Wang, you've also misunderstood one thing—I'm not asking you..."

"I am, asking you!"

He suddenly roared and pounced towards Lin Wang.

Lin Wang had not sensed any trace of a secular master's aura from this man before, so when the latter pounced on him, he did not feel nervous at all.

Then, he discovered that Ji Xuance had transformed!
Ji Xuance held the pendant tightly in his hand.

His entire upper body, starting from his neck, stretched out rapidly, becoming like a snake, and pounced on Lin Wang, wrapping around him. (This is probably the style of the painting)
This is fucking... Is the style of painting so bizarre!
While Lin Wang was complaining in his heart, Ji Xuance had already wrapped himself around him tightly.

However, unlike the long-necked monsters in horror stories, when Ji Xuance's neck lengthened and wrapped around Lin Wang, his body became shorter.

When his neck was tightly wrapped around Lin Wang's arm and he swam his head and face in front of Lin Wang, his body had already lowered to the height of an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

The level of curiosity is a bit beyond the scope! Is this a vulgar technique?
While Lin Wang was complaining, he looked down and saw Ji Xuance holding his pendant tightly in his hand. The pendant had changed from its original small and luxurious ornament to a one-foot long, sharp white thing that looked like a knife.

Lin Wang recognized that the thing was a sharp snake fang.

Is this how he killed the box keeper before?
A vulgar thing that can turn yourself into a weirdo?
Lin Wang had a flash of enlightenment in his mind.

Because he is not a lay master, and is the second in line to be the master of Lushan...

Therefore, the keeper of the box naturally trusts him.

So when he approached the box keeper, the box keeper was caught off guard.

Afterwards, he suddenly transformed into a long-necked monster and strangled the box keeper, who looked shocked and puzzled...

Afterwards, he stabbed me...

No wonder the knife's height was wrong...

But considering the box keeper's physical strength, why could he be stabbed to death by an ordinary person?

Could it be that there is something strange on the blade?
Lin Wang stared at Ji Xuance's hand, guarding against the man's attack.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled a detail:
The first person guarding the box also had a wound on his back!
Lin Wang's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm.

But before he could turn his head, he heard Ji Xuance's hoarse and strange voice suddenly shouting, "Xiaoying! Do it!"

The sudden sound of footsteps behind him shattered the tranquility of the sealed room and also told Lin Wang the answer.

Although he was "tied" by Ji Xuance, the physical fitness of the northerner still allowed him to turn around easily.

As he half turned around, he saw the weapon in the girl's hand out of the corner of his eye - it was another snake fang, the end of which was tightly grasped in her hand, like a knife, emitting a dangerous light, and stabbing towards Lin Wang with force.

The girl had an expression of reluctance on her face, but she still gritted her teeth, exerted force with her hand, and stabbed the knife towards Lin Wang's waist.

Then, her wrists were tied tightly with a paper tape.

A little paper figure sat on Lin Wang's shoulder, with a colorful paper face and rubbing the bullet screen with his hands. He was holding a paper groom's hat in his hands and climbing up by Lin Wang's ears, trying to put the hat on Lin Wang's head.

The paper tape that tied Ji Shuying's wrist was even just a convenience.

"Stop making trouble, I'm busy." Lin Wang shook his head and threw the little paper man off his ear.

The paper girl fell down and hit her butt on his shoulder. She was stunned for two seconds, then quickly danced and gestured towards Lin Wang, got up and tried to crawl again.

At this time, after hearing Lin Wang's words, she was stunned for a moment, looked up at Ji Xuance in front of her with a confused look on his face, and then turned back to look at Ji Shuying who was tied up by her behind her.

The little paper figure was stunned for a few seconds, then responded in a way that she thought was reasonable.

She first raised her hands and made a lifting gesture. Then she exerted force on her hands and grabbed her head with a snap. Then a long paper tape was used to push her head high and sway it in front of Ji Xuance.

A line of comments popped up next to her head.

"I can do this too!"

Then she turned her head again and looked at the girl behind her, and a second line of comments popped up next to her head.

"Hello! This is my husband!"
