I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 26 Scream
What kind of sound is the sound of falling rain?

Many people can tell the answer, but each one is different. Some fall on tiles, some fall on leaves, some fall on the ground, and some fall into the water.

The sound it makes is different wherever it lands.

Some people say that when rain falls on the earth, it is a symphony.

At this moment, in this symphony of rain, there was a strange voice singing loudly.

This kind of chanting is like some kind of horn, as if calling.

However, it is very difficult to tell the direction of the singing. Sometimes it seems to be far away, as if in the sea, and sometimes it seems to be nearby, in an alley, or even in a sewer.

Mr. Pei Si did not show much nervousness or panic on his face, because he did not think that this first-level researcher from the Forbidden Secret Society would not think of the worst possible outcome when he came to him to investigate the background of the people in the Jingling Bureau.

Fourth Master Pei knew that if Han Yitong coming to him was the first step, then there would be a fierce battle today. If coming to him was the last step to verify, then today's scene might be a game of alerting the enemy and luring them out of their hole.

The key point is that sometimes you set up a game and prepare one table of food, but two tables of people show up, what should you do then?

They were in the very center, with heavy rain pouring down. Slowly, the cries of strange fishes appeared one after another in the rain, echoing with the previous high-pitched chanting, and finally merged into one.

The mysterious leakage of the demon-transformation type is slow to begin with, because the changes in the physical body cannot be achieved overnight, and now the strange sounds of fish in the rain are coming one after another, and the number is definitely not small.

The rain at Shentu No. 2 Middle School was not heavy, just a drizzle.

Raining was very normal for Haishi, but not long after, strange screams were heard in the rain.

This made the whole classroom suddenly quiet.

Among the young boys and girls who grew up in this Rakshasa Sea City, which family does not have some ghost stories passed down from their ancestors? It can even be said that every family knows some ways to ward off evil spirits, drive away ghosts, and call back souls. Although they are all superficial, it seems like an instinct for living in the sea city.

Moreover, in the schools here, there are supplementary courses that teach methods of warding off evil spirits, driving away ghosts, and calling back souls.

Because these three are what ordinary people need most. Warding off evil spirits is for prevention, while exorcising ghosts is for driving out ghosts that may want to approach or have just entered your home. Calling back the soul is more common. People are prone to losing their souls when they are frightened. In this case, as long as they know the method, ordinary people can call the soul back as long as they are not trapped by something.

More profound things are not taught in schools at all, because they will consume people's energy and spirit, or in other words, if there is no practice, it will hurt one's own vitality. Unknowingly, one will become spiritually deficient and will be invaded by ghosts.

At this moment, the strange cry first made the whole classroom quiet down, and then, some people in the classroom suddenly became agitated, and some students' bodies suddenly shook violently.

The person whose body was shaking could no longer sit still and slid under the table, shaking all over.

"Everyone cover your ears."

The teacher spoke quickly, and it was obvious that the teacher knew something.

Everyone covered their ears in panic, and the teacher also ran over to help the person who was trembling all over cover his ears.

The others were too busy taking care of themselves to help the others who fell to the ground cover their ears. Painful expressions appeared on their faces.

Ye Youruo and Pei Ju were the only ones in the classroom who didn't look obviously uncomfortable.

"Pei Ju, come and help cover He Jun's ears. Ye Youruo, go and cover Xia Feng's ears." The teacher quickly found two people in the class who were fine.

Pei Ju felt only a slight pricking sensation in his temples, but it didn't seem like a serious problem. Just as he stood up, Ye Youruo hesitated beside him, seemingly unwilling to touch him. Then, suddenly, she spoke, a shrill sound emanating from her mouth. It wasn't harsh, but rather thin, like a sharp blade, cutting off the strange noise coming from the rain.

Then the whole classroom fell silent, or rather, everyone's hearing fell silent, as if the thin scream had pierced the membrane, piercing through all other thoughts. No longer considering anything else, there was only a blank.

Pei Ju felt the same way. He felt that his mind was blank amidst the screams. He even felt that if he were to draw his sword, he would probably have to stop.

So he looked at Ye Youruo with a bit of confusion, screams echoing in his ears, but soon it was as if the signal of the silent TV suddenly got better and the sound suddenly resumed.

After Pei Ju discovered that everyone didn't need to cover their ears, he looked at Ye Youruo, then went straight out of the classroom and came to the corridor outside. He wanted to see where the strange noises were mainly concentrated.

Just looking down from the building, you can see a hazy fog and rain. Luoshahai City has the most fog and is known as one of the foggiest cities in the world.

He couldn't see through the rain and fog at all, but he vaguely felt that the direction was the direction of his home.

At this time, the teacher asked the students to quickly close the doors and windows. When the door was about to be closed, Ye Youruo also came out, and she was also looking in that direction.

"Is it our side?" Pei Ju asked without thinking.

"Yes, that's where the sound is mainly concentrated."

Pei Ju was not sure, but Ye Youruo was very sure.

"Do you want to go back?" Ye Youruo asked.

"No, with such a big commotion, what's the point of me going? There are so many powerful people in Hai City, it's not my turn to do anything."

Ye Youruo couldn't help but look at Pei Ju. Her initial impression of Pei Ju was that he was a brave and passionate young man. When they met for the first time that night, she was scolded by him. She felt that Pei Ju had a bit of a bad temper and was probably impulsive.

That's why she asked him if he was going, but what he said made her look at him again, and she realized that he actually had a very calm and rational side in his heart.

"It's okay, my Aunt Wu lives next door to your house." Ye Youruo comforted.

Pei Ju's eyes were exceptionally clear, and he even spoke with a hint of sharpness.

"This is not the first time that my Pei family's sword hall has been besieged, but those things are all dead, while my sword hall is still there," said Pei Ju.

Ye Youruo looked at him and said nothing.

Under the eaves of the Pei family sword hall, Mr. Pei Si had an extra sword in his hand. This sword was not the ghost-killing sword in the hut, but the sword he had used for half his life. When he traveled around the world and fought with others, he mainly used this sword, which was called Xingshou.

At this moment, he saw a human figure appear outside the yard in the pouring rain. But if you look closely, it doesn't look like a human, but more like an amphibian.

And the strange screams also concentrated.

"boom!"

The gate of the courtyard was broken down, and a hideous and terrifying creature rushed in. It was lying on the ground with all four limbs, covered with fish scales, its mouth wide open in the rain, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and making a strange, intimidating sound.
