Looking up at the thirty or so dead people on the ceiling, their feet still wobbling, and all of them women, cloaked in hair, gave me the creeps.
Their heads were hanging down, and their eyes were open, as if there were a pair of eyes looking at me.
I immediately drew my Copper Coin Sword, but there was nothing around me but gloomy wind gusts, or was the environment so dark that I couldn't see?
"Who killed them?" I asked, turning towards Nova.
Nova shook her head as if to say she didn't know, but she still didn't say anything.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Giving something a threat? Nod if it's you." I said.
At this time Nova desperately nodded her head and I was immediately alerted, sure enough something came out of this mansion and killed all thirty or so of these people.
Is it the female corpse in the red dress?Nova and Zephyr have the Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts up, but the rest of Nova's familiars don't, and it's not out of the question that she'll make the first move.
"Is it a female corpse?" I continued to ask.
Nova didn't say anything, she was silent, I was running out of patience and tried to pull Nova up and leave, but Nova refused to go, pulling and tugging she finally came up to my ear and said, "I can't leave, I can't talk, she captured Zephyr and killed almost all of Nova's family, and now Nova's family is all that's left of me and Zephyr left."
"Her? Who is she?" I asked.
Nova was afraid to speak again, her eyes looking up to the first floor as if to say that she was on the first floor and so was Zephyr.
No way, Zephyr has my Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts on him, how dare that female corpse get near him.
But no matter how much I asked, Nova just didn't dare to open her mouth again, I gripped Copper Coin Sword tightly and could only muster up the courage to go up to the first floor, if Zephyr tattooed my Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts to no effect, then I was responsible and I had to go up there and save him.
That's when Nova pulled my shirt tighter to keep me from going up, she was supposedly worried about my safety.
I reassured her that it was fine, I had Copper Coin Sword in my hand, I should be able to defend myself, but this time there was no black dog blood, I could only bite my finger to rub the blood on the Copper Coin Sword, I often watched Stella biting her finger to recite incantations and casting spells and thought that it was nothing, but when it came to my own turn, I realised that it hurt so much to bite my finger.
As my blood wiped up, suddenly the Copper Coin Sword shook violently a few times and emitted a burst of false light, and the temperature on the hilt rose so high that it burned so much that I immediately flung it away.
What the hell, what's going on? Why do I feel like the sword is on fire?
The Copper Coin Sword landed back on its feet and when I picked it up again, it wasn't hot anymore and was much lighter.
Not having so much time to think about it now, I took the Copper Coin Sword up to the first floor.
The first floor was even darker, I turned on my mobile phone torch to no avail, the darkness in this room seemed to devour the light as if it could, it was good to see a little.
"Zephyr, where are you?" I started to call out, but there was no response, so I had to look for it room by room on the first floor, Nova's family was a bit big and there were a dozen rooms on this first floor.
Just at this time, suddenly a wow sound came out from the first floor, which was just like a ghost and instantly exploded in the house.
The horrible thing happened once again, suddenly the dead people hanging from that ceiling jumped down from above one by one, their bodies were very stiff, just like jiangshi, and then a brain jumped up from below.
These corpses zombie mutation up, must be unrelated to that sound just now, and it is possible that they are controlled by something, because these corpses did not pounce on Nova downstairs, but pounced on me, and Nova is even closer to them.
I understand now that something is trying to kill me! I don't know if it's the woman in the red dress or what, but from the moment Nova called me, it was meant for me to die, or else I wouldn't have been the only one to come.
The corpses soon jumped up, they were cloaked and grim, their hands stiffly crossed in front of them as if they wanted to strangle me, and by the look of the fatal wounds on their bodies, it seemed as if they had been strangled by something as well.
They came up in a rush, looking a bit oozy, but I wasn't afraid, I swung the Copper Coin Sword in my hand, only to hear a poof, a human head grunted and rolled down from the neck to the ground, they had just died a short time ago, and there was in fact still blood, but there was very little blood on the neck.
They are all dead, they won't be afraid at all, still charging forward, I have cut their heads to the ground one by one with my sword, at this time their bodies twitched for a while, then they fell to the ground and didn't move.
Thirty or so, not a moment's effort to clean up, I suddenly interested in this Copper Coin Sword, this thing is not as bad as imagined, not to mention the Exorcise Ghosts suppress evil, on the head of the thieves sharp, and a cut on the immobilisation, it seems that suppress evil effect is still there.
"Who the hell is fucking around and get the fuck out." I ran out of patience and just kicked a door in, then roared in frantic rage.
Something was definitely at work, and if my Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts weren't working, there was a good chance that thing wasn't a corpse, and I trusted my Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts.
After kicking open the eighth door, I finally see Zephyr, sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes squeezed shut as if he's asleep.
"Zephyr, wake up, wake up ..." I called his name, but he didn't respond at all, he couldn't wake up no matter how hard he called.
Forget it, carry him down first, but just when I was going to carry him up, suddenly his eyes opened, and the eyes ... were obviously murderous!
As expected, he pulled out a fruit knife from under the covers and then stabbed at me in one go.
Being unprepared, there was no way I could have completely dodged his slash, but I reacted quickly and sidestepped my body.
It was supposed to stab me in the stomach, but when I ducked like that, the knife went straight to my left ribcage, and it didn't go in, just the blade scraped through.
Even so, there was still a lot of blood seeping out, staining my clothes red.
"Brat, you ..." I immediately roared, I obviously wanted to save him, but he backstabbed me and cut me.
This Zephyr is still a little boy. Why would he do such a thing? And I'm still saving him. Could it be that he's possessed by some ghost again?
"Something, actually dodged it or you'd already be dead." Zephyr laughed grimly, speaking not at all like a little boy, but not like he was possessed by a ghost either.
I covered the wound with my hand, my hand was full of blood, and what's worse, I felt the wound was numb, and my body was numb, I thumped in my heart, the knife was poisoned, this kid was too yin.
But why did he backstab me? I couldn't figure it out.
"Is it wondering why I stabbed you?" Zephyr suddenly changed his voice and became very old, like ... like ...Nova's grandmother's voice.
"You weren't possessed yesterday, at all? Did you fake it?" I exclaimed.
