Newspaper Boy

Chapter 77: The End

Listening to the mournful suona and watching Yuanshi Tianzun place the bridal veil on his head, the The Way of the Extraordinary present felt an indescribable sense of weirdness.

On one hand, they couldn't tell whether the core of his methods was the red veil or the music playing from his fanny pack.

On the other hand, a boy, a red veil, wedding music... it was all too bizarre.

"This broken speaker is really something, playing music regardless of the occasion, stealing all my thunder..." Zhang Yuanqing, wearing the red veil, grumbled inwardly.

"Experiencing what it's like to be a bridegroom?" Hengxing Wuji's amber vertical pupils reflected the poignant red, and he mocked with a strange expression:

"So you want to be my bride, huh? That won't do. I'm not interested in men."

Zhang Yuanqing ignored him, focused his mind, and silently sensed his surroundings, waiting for the appearance of the ghost bride.

Seeing that his mockery received no response, Hengxing Wuji's eyes flickered, and he suddenly shattered the floor tiles, launching a sneak attack without any sense of honor.

He didn't know what this kid's methods were, but any risk had to be nipped in the bud. Giving the enemy time was the same as endangering himself.

"Buzz..." Suddenly, an electric current sound appeared in the high-pitched suona music, as if the signal was being interfered with.

Here it comes... Zhang Yuanqing sensed a vast, boundless Yin energy涌 out from the void behind him, making the hair on his back stand on end, but he didn't dare turn around.

This feeling was too familiar. The day he was at Jinshui Amusement Park, when the ghost bride appeared, he felt the same way, the experience was exactly the same.

The vast Yin energy enveloped the villa, and the official The Way of the Extraordinary present felt their souls trembling. What had he summoned?

In Hengxing Wuji's vision, he saw a large patch of dark, heavy mist涌 out from behind the official Night Watcher, bringing coldness, weirdness, and fear. Faintly, the ghostly figure of a woman wearing a bright red wedding dress appeared behind the Night Watcher.

Creak... Hengxing Wuji's feet scraped against the ground, making a sharp sound. He braked, forcibly stopping his steps.

An indescribable fear exploded in his heart.

A terrifying vengeful spirit, a powerful vengeful spirit, an irresistible vengeful spirit... He sensed the pressure of a high-level Yin creature, and following his instinct, Hengxing Wuji turned and ran without any hesitation.

He was a witch doctor, not an illusionist, and lacked the means to deal with spiritual bodies.

Especially one of such a high level.

Hengxing Wuji rushed towards the door, but just as he took a step, he suddenly stopped. The door had disappeared, replaced by a patch of dark, heavy Yin mist.

In the Yin mist, the ghostly figure in the red wedding dress appeared and disappeared.

This... Hengxing Wuji's scalp went numb, and he changed direction, rushing towards the stairs.

However, a thick Yin mist涌 out from the stairs, and in the surging mist, a pair of delicate little feet wearing red embroidered shoes were walking down the stairs step by step.

Despair surged in Hengxing Wuji's eyes.

What, what is he doing? In the eyes of the official The Way of the Extraordinary, Hengxing Wuji seemed to be possessed, sometimes rushing towards the door, sometimes rushing towards the window, and sometimes rushing towards the stairs.

But each time he would retreat in horror, his ugly insect face twisted with fear, and his amber vertical pupils filled with unease.

Tang Guoqiang shuddered violently, and with his limbs weak, he desperately crawled away from Zhang Yuanqing, fleeing in panic as if his life depended on it.

Ghost wall? Zhang Yuanqing raised his head slightly, using his extremely limited vision to observe the seemingly insane Hengxing Wuji, and immediately judged that the ghost bride was using illusions.

He was thinking about taking advantage of the situation to give Hengxing Wuji another blow, when he suddenly found that he couldn't move.

"What's going on? The notes didn't say that the red veil would restrict movement..." Zhang Yuanqing was both surprised and suspicious. Then, he felt something贴在 on his back.

Like a block of ice, but with an unusual softness.

Vast Yin energy surged, invading his body and fusing with the Taiyin power within him.

The sleeping Little Rascal woke up, curled up and trembling. The infant spirit had no idea what was happening. It woke up and felt that it was in great danger.

Finally, Zhang Yuanqing found that he could move. He took steps, slowly walking towards Hengxing Wuji.

But all of this was beyond his control.

The ghost bride was controlling his body.

Guan Ya, Qing Teng, Bai Long, Li Dongze... everyone's eyes moved away from Hengxing Wuji and turned to the slowly walking Zhang Yuanqing.

Whether it was an illusion or not, for a moment, they saw a森然 ghostly figure in a red wedding dress clinging tightly to Yuanshi's back.

Looking at that ghostly figure, everyone felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhang Yuanqing walked up to Hengxing Wuji, and glancing through the lower edge of the red veil, he saw a pair of pale, delicate hands伸 out from his body, grabbing his hand.

Bone-chilling Yin energy gathered in his palm. Zhang Yuanqing watched helplessly as his hand's skin turned blue-black, the muscles in his arm bulging, and veins coiling around it like漆黑 snakes.

Sharp, black fingernails extended from his fingers.

The pair of pale, delicate hands guided this ghost hand, grabbing Hengxing Wuji's neck.

.......

Dark, heavy mist surrounded him, and on all sides were ghostly figures wearing red wedding dresses. Hengxing Wuji looked around in panic. He wanted to escape, but there was no way out. Every direction had a ghostly figure.

His heart was pounding violently, and his adrenaline was surging, but it didn't bring courage, but extreme fear.

His ferocity, irritability, ruthlessness, and decisiveness had all disappeared for some reason. The only emotions left were fear and trembling.

Hengxing Wuji knew that he was being affected by something, but what was despairing was that he knew it wasn't normal, but he couldn't change it.

At this time, the ghostly figures on all sides simultaneously伸 out their hands. Beneath the bright red and gorgeous wedding dresses were pairs of blue-black, strong ghost hands wrapped in veins.

Hengxing Wuji had nowhere to retreat. He watched helplessly as the ghost hands掐住 his throat. The next moment, icy Yin energy invaded his body, spreading rapidly, and his life force quickly disappeared.

........

Zhang Yuanqing looked at Hengxing Wuji beneath his ghost claws. The light in his vertical pupils dimmed little by little, and finally went out.

Within this tall, ugly body, the soul quickly shattered and dissipated.

Phew, he's dead... Zhang Yuanqing felt relieved. At this moment, he finally determined that the battle was over and there would be no more accidents.

No, there was, there was still a monster with a human head and snake body... Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the ghost bride controlled him to turn around and walk towards the big snake.

In the next moment, the big snake's fierce eyes were sometimes scattered and sometimes狰狞, and its soft, serpentine body writhed uneasily and weakly.

He had also fallen into the illusion.

Zhang Yuanqing used the same method to掐住 the big snake's neck, depriving him of his life.

However, Zhang Yuanqing found that his actions had not stopped, and the ghost bride had not left. Instead, she was controlling him to turn around and face the official The Way of the Extraordinary.

The official The Way of the Extraordinary, who had just felt joy, suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

Zhang Yuanqing noticed that the pair of delicate, pale hands holding his arms moved slightly, hesitating between Bai Long, Qing Teng, and Guan Ya.

A few seconds later, she seemed to make a choice, controlling Zhang Yuanqing to walk towards Guan Ya step by step.

"Yu, Yuanshi?" The Old Driver's face was pale, and she moved back in panic.

She wants to kill Guan Ya? No, stop it quickly... Zhang Yuanqing was anxious, but his body was completely out of control.

The ghost bride should have a time limit, but there was no提示 in the item description. Zhang Yuanqing didn't know how long she would exist. If the ghost bride's time was up, Guan Ya would definitely be finished.

Seeing Guan Ya getting closer and closer, Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts raced, and he suddenly came up with an idea. He transferred the "control" to the Little Rascal in his body.

In his body, the Little Rascal finally couldn't withstand the pressure and started to cry loudly.

Zhang Yuanqing gained a brief moment of mobility, and immediately raised his left hand and pulled off the item covering his head.

Vast Yin energy quickly retreated into the void, and the ghost bride reluctantly returned to The Way of the Extraordinary.

At this time, he was only five or six steps away from Guan Ya.

Zhang Yuanqing sat down on the ground, panting heavily. The feeling of weakness湧 out again.

Guan Ya's white shirt was soaked with sweat, and her wet temples were贴在 to her cheeks. Her chest rose and fell.

Feeling the terrifying Yin energy dissipate, the official The Way of the Extraordinary simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, feeling both fortunate and happy. They thought to themselves that he was worthy of being a Night Watcher who had completed two S-rank instances in a row. He was already so extraordinary at the rookie stage.

A Wood Manipulator took out a pill from his tactical backpack with a trembling hand and said, "Take the antidote pill quickly. Although it can't remove the toxins, it can alleviate the symptoms."

"Can you bring it over?"

"I, I can't move..."

Captain Qing Teng frowned slightly, "Who can still move? First go and collect the items upstairs. We're just coughing and paralyzed now, but who knows, we might die suddenly later."

Da Ji Ba staggered to his feet, intending to go upstairs, but after taking a few steps, he fell down weakly, fainting from blood loss.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing supported his tired body and said, "I'll go."

Bai Long breathed a sigh of relief and smiled weakly, "You're really a reliable boy, no, man."

If you had said that a dozen seconds earlier, the ghost bride wouldn't have tolerated you... Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself.

Behind-the-scenes commander Li Dongze提示:

"It should be on the second floor, near the door, in the second or third room. Hengxing Wuji has been fighting in that position before. He should be guarding the item."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded and staggered up the stairs.

.........

Everyone watched him disappear around the corner of the stairs. Li Dongze raised his watch and glanced at it, his face showing joy, and said:

"30 minutes have passed. The barrier has dissipated. We can call for support."

Among the official The Way of the Extraordinary present, he was the only one who cared about elegance and wore a watch.

Everyone else looked at the time on their phones. Before launching the capture operation, their phones were all adjusted to airplane mode.

At this time, the living room door was violently kicked open, and a dozen fully armed official The Way of the Extraordinary filed in.

Next was Fu Qingyang, wearing a white suit and tying his short ponytail, followed by Ling Jun, dressed casually and loosely.

The support team is here? Li Dongze and the others were surprised and delighted.

Ling Jun's eyes swept over the dead Gu beasts and he laughed:

"It seems we're not needed anymore. Young Master Qian, your subordinates' captains have good combat power."

Fu Qingyang glanced at Guan Ya, who was not injured, and then at the other captains. His stern face relaxed slightly.
