Feng Bujue had obviously underestimated the ghost's power. Since he had disobeyed the warning of 'do not look at the mirror', how could the enemy before him be defeated so easily?
The monster reacted quickly. It grabbed Feng Bujue's wrist that was holding the wrench. The blood claw tightened, and Feng Bujue instantly felt the bones in his right forearm snap. If not for his high endurance, he would have lost his grip on the weapon.
The shadow's other arm quickly grabbed Feng Bujue's neck. The latter had no choice but to toss away the phone and flashlight in his left hand. He gripped the shadow's wrist tightly, but even so, he started to suffocate.
The phone and flashlight that fell to the ground were quickly swallowed up by the blood. The only source of light in the toilet was the lantern inside the cubicle at the deepest part of the toilet.
Passing Rain stopped hiding. She held her wound with one hand and dragged her sword with the other as she moved to the shadow's back. Even though she had not fully recovered from her injury, once she moved, she would bleed. However, in the past ten minutes, her Life Points had recovered somewhat. If she did not help him now, it would be over for Feng Bujue.
Passing Rain raised her sword and slashed horizontally at the shadow's eyes.
Perhaps the eyes behind the monster's head were blocked by the black hair, or perhaps it was because Feng Bujue had attracted its aggro from looking at the mirror, but in any case, the monster ignored the attack that came from behind. Its head was chopped off … The moment the neck that was made from blood was severed, the eyeballs scattered like broken building blocks. The force that held them together seemed to have disappeared.
However, this was just a temporary illusion. Feng Bujue's feet were still pinned to the ground. After the eyeballs that rolled on the ground were stained with blood, they started to move again and slowly gathered together …
Feng Bujue and Passing Rain were inches away from each other, but they could not say a word. After Passing Rain finished that slash, the wound on her waist split open again. She clutched the wound with a pained expression, and the blood flowing from between her fingers said it all.
Feng Bujue had clearly come to save the damsel in distress, yet he had been saved by Passing Rain. Moreover, his actions had already caused the ghosts to chase after him. If he didn't do something to help the two escape this dangerous situation, what awaited them next would undoubtedly be a team-wipe.
In this situation, Feng Bujue had a flash of inspiration, and he came up with a possible solution … He turned his head again and faced the mirror above the sink. Since the light source was at the other corner of the toilet, the mirror near the door was dark.
Feng Bujue took out a handgun from his backpack and aimed it at that direction. He fired three consecutive shots, and the muzzle of the gun lit up his vision three times. However, the mirror did not shatter after taking the three bullets. It only made three dull bangs.
This mirror was obviously not bulletproof. It was attached to the ghost's body, and that was why it could not be broken. Even though Feng Bujue's bullets did not destroy the mirror, the layer of blood that covered the toilet floor was affected. The blood was like water in a water tank. When it was hit, the water inside would vibrate.
The blood that clamped down on Feng Bujue's ankle was shaken away, and he regained his mobility. Without another word, he took out the baseball bat and rushed to the mirror to bash it. When he attacked the mirror, the whole toilet shook like there was a disco going on upstairs. The headless shadow that was standing and the eyes that were reassembling on the ground were shaken into pieces. They could not maintain their original form anymore.
Feng Bujue used a lot of force when he swung the bat, and the frequency was high. In less than ten seconds, his arm was sore. If this was not a metal bat but a wooden one, it would have snapped already.
Finally, a series of crashing sounds could be heard … The moment the mirror was shattered, the evil spirit's final counterattack arrived. A female ghost with disheveled hair leaped out from the shattered mirror. Her eye sockets were empty, and her eyeballs had been dug out. Her entire body was covered in blood. However, compared to her original form, which was made from blood and her eyes, this form was not that scary.
Feng Bujue was in a passive position after being pounced on. Before he could change to the wrench, the ghost opened her mouth and bit at him.
Thankfully, Like Rain's blade arrived again and accurately beheaded the ghost. This time, the blade was cleaved in two. The head tumbled down, and all of the illusions disappeared. However, Like Rain finally knelt to the ground. The red around her wound announced that she had lost the ability to do anything else.
"Main Mission progress updated.
"Explore Ye Jie High School and solve the seven supernatural phenomena. Current Progress: 1/7."
Even though the system announcement came, there was no time for the two to catch their breath. Once this ghost died, some kind of boundary was broken. In the corridor outside the door, many shadows moved, and the sound of rustling approached.
Feng Bujue and Like Rain could not communicate through words, so he hurried forward to help her up. He led her to the last cubicle and had her pick up the lantern. Then he made a simple gesture. Like Rain understood what he meant and handed the lantern directly to him.
After the item changed hands, Feng Bujue had Like Rain wrap her left arm around his neck. With one hand on her waist and the other holding the lantern, he led Like Rain out of the toilet.
Since Feng Bujue's phone and flashlight had disappeared, Like Rain's phone had lost its function. Furthermore, they would not be separated until the end of the scenario, so she abandoned her own phone as well.
After arriving at the corridor, the scene in front of him was not optimistic. Looking to the right, in the dim corridor, many floating round objects were slowly approaching. Below those objects, there was a thin, thread-like object hanging down.
"F * ck! Human Head Balloons! " Feng Bujue had read the comic of the same name before. It was a despairing story, and just thinking about the plot would make him feel depressed.
He quickly helped Like Rain run in the other direction, but there was no staircase in that direction …
Of course, Feng Bujue knew that. The layout of the first floor had been imprinted in his mind. He had no choice but to run this way. If he ran toward the 'Human Head Balloons', he and Like Rain would be strung up and strangled to death in less than ten seconds.
They walked to the window at the end of the corridor. Feng Bujue opened the window and used his eyes to signal for Like Rain to put her sword back into her inventory. The latter understood what he meant.
At that moment, from the other end of the corridor, several headless dead bodies walked toward them. They either had their hands on the wall or crawled on the ground as they slowly approached.
The two were surrounded, and the only way out was to jump out the window. Feng Bujue put the lantern back into his inventory and tilted his head at Like Rain. It sounded like he was going to make the first move.
After all, it was only a two-story building; it was not that high. Feng Bujue was level thirteen in-game. Even though Thriller Paradise did not have a specific stat, as one's level increased, one's physical ability would increase. If level one represented the standard of a normal person and level thirty represented the ability to leap over walls in the Matrix, then for a level thirteen player, jumping down from the second floor was not a problem.
Feng Bujue was surprised when he landed. He thought that he would at least sprain his ankle or injure his back, but when he was in the air, he felt his body was so light. The impact when he landed was not that big, and his Life Points did not drop that much compared to when he crashed into the door.
After he steadied himself, he quickly clapped his hands to make some noise. He opened his arms and raised his head to catch Like Rain. The moon was bright outside. When Feng Bujue stood up, he looked around. So far, there were no signs of ghosts around the education block. He planned to bring Like Rain to the cafeteria after he caught her. After the fight in the toilet earlier, Feng Bujue believed that … as long as he entered the space where the supernatural event happened, the pursuit of the ghosts would be temporarily blocked outside. Once the event was over, the ghosts would come again. Therefore, from that moment on, the two could not stop.
Like Rain did not hesitate. Using the moonlight, she aimed for Feng Bujue's position and jumped into his arms. If she was in a better condition, she would not need Feng Bujue to catch her. She could probably stand up straight from the third floor, but she was heavily injured, so she could only rely on her teammate's help.
Feng Bujue caught Like Rain, and the two looked at each other in silence. They both felt that this was weird, but thankfully, the restriction of not being able to speak eased the awkwardness.
With this perfect princess carry, Feng Bujue did not let Like Rain touch the ground and started to run. This choice was indeed more efficient. If he had supported Passing Rain, it would have been slower. Now, they could still enjoy the buff from Jazz Dance, but Feng Bujue would have to expend more Stamina Points.
Furthermore, this saved them the time to use sign language. Feng Bujue brought Like Rain directly to the cafeteria.
After entering the cafeteria, Feng Bujue placed Like Rain on a bench. He then took out a lantern, placed it on the table, and quickly turned to close the door. He then took out a baseball bat and stuck it behind the door as a temporary latch.
After doing all that, he sat across from Like Rain and let out a long sigh. Then he pointed at himself and gestured with his hands. Four, three. Then he pointed at Like Rain and gave her a questioning look.
Like Rain opened the menu to look at her status. Her wounds were still bleeding, and she only had twelve percent of her Life Points left. If she did not stay still, she would lose more Life Points.
She gestured one and two and lowered her head to look at her wounds. Then she met Feng Bujue's eyes and shook her head.
Feng Bujue took a deep breath, and a troubled expression appeared on his face. In this situation, he could only pray that the events in the remaining two lines of the song could be resolved without a fight, just like the incident in the music room.
Bang bang bang!
The cafeteria's door was suddenly slammed open, and a chilling wail came from outside. Shadows of ghosts danced outside the windows, and a moment later, there was the sound of glass shattering. It looked like this ghost's pursuit was like a shadow. It did not even give the players a minute to breathe.
