Free Web NovelChapter 623: Chapter 513: Dragon No.243_4
Indeed, this was the most likely conjecture; after all, the reputation of the Withered Bone Pavilion was not weak. Given that Lu Chenzhou and the earlier Prisoner No.199 were so wary of it, this master from the Withered Bone Pavilion must have extraordinary abilities. However, Yang Xiao felt that things were not so simple.
"Yang, please help a brother out," Lu Chenzhou pleaded.
Yang Xiao understood what he meant. Now only four survivors remained, among whom three had balloons, and only he did not. The Ghost’s next target was obvious. And as for Yang Xiao, as long as he didn’t court death himself, he was already in an unbeatable position.
Everyone had balloons in their hands, and there was no need for people from the Withered Bone Pavilion to fight to the death with them. The only one who really needed to fight desperately was Lu Chenzhou alone.
He urgently needed to grab a balloon; otherwise, if the clown came again, he would be finished.
"Lu, I can go with you, but I have to say this beforehand. I am doing this for you, and if a fight breaks out..."
"I get it, I get it. I’ll give it my all, Yang... you... you just help me out at the crucial moment. I, Lu Chenzhou, will be eternally grateful!" Lu Chenzhou bowed deeply to Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao was very curious about Dragon No.243. He decided to take a look, as he had the Soul-Capturing Mirror with him. If he did run into trouble, even if he couldn’t beat them, he could always run away. His obligation to Lu Chenzhou had been fulfilled. If they ran into real trouble, he didn’t have to risk his life for Lu Chenzhou. After all, they had only met by chance and didn’t have much of a bond.
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at Zone D, where they found a conspicuous sign on a building decorated to look like a tree house.
Blood donation brings glory to the entire family, Kongling Mountain Playground Blood Donation Station.
This was indeed the place, the one agreed upon.
But looking around, there weren’t many visitors, and they didn’t see anyone wearing masks. Yang Xiao gripped the Human Bone Staff tightly; he didn’t sense any clear malice in the vicinity, but for some reason, when he held the Staff, he faintly heard a vague and ephemeral melody.
"What’s wrong?" Lu Chenzhou asked in a low voice.
"Something’s not right around here. I think we should observe a little longer," Yang Xiao said, his gaze continually sweeping the surroundings. Other than the tourists and staff, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
But Yang Xiao could afford to wait; Lu Chenzhou, on the other hand, could not. If they waited any longer, they might encounter the Ghost before the people they were looking for. Lu Chenzhou made up his mind, "Yang, I can’t wait anymore. I’ll go over by myself, and if there’s really any danger... you judge the situation. If you help, I, Lu Chenzhou, thank you. If you don’t, I, Lu Chenzhou, won’t blame you. You’ve done more than enough for me."
"Take care," Yang Xiao nodded and, in front of Lu Chenzhou, pulled out the copper mirror from his backpack and handed one side of it to Lu Chenzhou, "Take this with you."
Lu Chenzhou didn’t walk directly out from where Yang Xiao was but instead made a detour, following some tourists towards the tree house blood donation station.
Soon, Lu Chenzhou arrived at the entrance of the blood donation station. He was in luck because the few people he was following were also there for the blood donation station, inadvertently providing cover for him. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
The blood donation station clearly hadn’t been used for a long time; it had a shabby and damaged exterior. Lu Chenzhou hurried to the window, not standing directly outside it but rather to the side, lifting the copper mirror given by Yang Xiao to check the room inside by reflection.
Yang Xiao too kept his eyes on the mirror. He activated the Soul-Capturing Mirror’s ability and could also see the scene within the mirror in Lu Chenzhou’s hand. He saw the inside of the blood donation station was rundown, like it had been abandoned for a while. Sitting on a row of wooden chairs were two people, sitting straight up, their backs to the door and windows, with masks on their faces, but their numbers were not clear.
However, there was no need to clarify, because the person on the left, tall and thin, was the Taoist master Dao Zi 131 from the Withered Bone Pavilion. Beside him sat the woman they had seen before, Dragon No.29.
Both held a balloon in their hands.
The atmosphere here was decidedly off. Lu Chenzhou realized it was a trap because the balloons in their hands were not at all like the ones Yang Xiao had; these balloons had no numbers, only cartoon patterns.
The next second, Dao Zi 131’s tall and lanky body inexplicably swayed before he violently fell backward, as if a withered piece of wood had crashed to the ground, knocking off his mask and revealing a withered but strangely smiling face with upturned corners of the mouth.
Yang Xiao’s eyes widened instantly at the sight of this scene, which seemed hauntingly familiar... in Rongcheng! The one in the home of the boss who was against Zhao!
At that time, the boss and his wife, along with their two children and a nanny, and a bodyguard, had all died just like this!
Seeing Dao Zi 131, who had already breathed his last, and Long Zi 29, Lu Chenzhou immediately thought it was bad news. He tried to retreat, but it was already too late. The tourists who had come with him swarmed from behind, pinning him firmly in front of a glass window.
Through the glass, Lu Chenzhou witnessed a horrifying sight— a semi-transparent, slender and pallid arm extended from Dao Zi 131’s clothing, the fingernails painted a bright scarlet; he was concealing... concealing a ghost in his clothes!
That wasn’t the end of it, he heard the whoosh of wind behind him, as if something enormous was swooping toward him. Desperately turning his head and using his peripheral vision, he saw a massive wooden pendulum swinging toward his body from midair.
If it hit him squarely, half of his body would be crushed flat, but he was restrained, unable to resist at all. He no longer hoped for Yang Xiao’s help, he just wanted him to run, to run far away; the one setting the trap here was not someone they could stand against.
But the next second, a strange force surged from beneath him, and he distinctly felt a hand grabbing his lower leg. Accompanied by an intense surge of energy, several tourists controlling him were knocked back. That hand fiercely pulled him downward, and suddenly the ground disappeared beneath his feet, and his surroundings blurred as he fell into an unknown place.
When he regained his senses, Yang Xiao was standing in front of him, gripping the Human Bone Staff tightly in his hand. He had returned to the place where he and Yang Xiao had initially parted.
Meanwhile, in the distance, two figures emerged from a general store, one tall and the other short. The taller one appeared to be an old man, sporting a salt-and-pepper goatee and dressed in authentic Taoist attire, exuding the air of an elder with wisdom.
His face was
