Chapter 122: The Final Obstacle
An extremely low, hoarse voice came from not far ahead, difficult for others to distinguish in terms of gender, offering a suggestion, "Find the right moment, attack together."
The voice was very quiet, but Cheng He heard it clearly.
Although they might have some guesses about each other's identities, before completely tearing off their disguises, pretending to know nothing was the best approach.
Cheng He looked at Yang Qianqian, and the witch curse doll in his arms quickly nodded.
"Agreed." Cheng He answered succinctly, indicating his stance.
A fragile alliance temporarily formed at this moment.
If the other party dared to play tricks, just push them out to be devoured by the hiding ghosts—
Such thoughts flashed through all three of their minds simultaneously.
The three immediately felt their morale surge, as if they were ready to entrust their backs to each other and fight with their backs against the wall.
As for what they truly thought in their hearts, no one knew except themselves."I... clack clack... find the right... weak point... position... then... delay..."
Yang Qianqian, now only the size of a doll, detached from Cheng He's arm while explaining the action plan.
Her dark golden hair began to surge and lengthen wildly, continuously wrapping around her entire body, while her aura also began to grow more powerful.
"You guys... hehe... attract those... guys... then launch a strong assault..."
"Use... speed boost... items to escape..."
"Deal—"
This was the best choice at the moment, and Xu Zisheng thought the same.
He spoke in a low voice, then reduced the Ghost Power on the Human Skin Cloak.
In the cold night, that large piece of slightly fluttering, smooth and delicate skin reflected the surrounding scene like a polished mirror.
Now Cheng He and Yang Qianqian could barely see each other—this was the sincerity Xu Zisheng showed.
"Hug—hug—"
The doll wrapped entirely in dark golden hair also revealed a large, eerie smile on its face, its blood-red eyes gleaming.
She hovered in mid-air, stretched her short arms toward those ghosts, then tightly wrapped them around her entire body.
Her arms bent and twisted to a degree impossible for normal humans, and faintly, one could almost hear the sound of bones breaking.
An immense, invisible pressure instantly appeared in the space, and the surfaces of those monsters immediately dented inward, as if imprisoned by an unseen external force.
Yang Qianqian's unexpected move instantly hindered the ghosts' advance in the blink of an eye.
Cheng He and Xu Zisheng seized the opportunity, both taking action.
The Shadow Ghost lurked beneath Xu Zisheng's feet, allowing him to leap up using its strength, then quickly attached itself to the white Bone Whip that appeared in Xu Zisheng's hand, turning it completely black.
Xu Zisheng shifted his posture mid-air using momentum, brandishing the now-black Bone Whip in his hand as he descended with overwhelming force, creating a terrifying sound of tearing through the air.
Cheng He closed his eyes tightly, the corners slightly reddened, his two hands pressed tightly together, the rings with eerie patterns colliding violently, forming a combined, twisted force.
Then he extended two fingers, pointing directly toward the location of the weak-point ghost.
The skin on those ghosts' surfaces immediately began to shift and distort, with red patterns bulging out, as if some energy was accumulating inside them, about to burst them open from within.
"Bzzz—"
Two terrifying attacks combined into one, carrying an unstoppable momentum, forcibly clearing an exit.
After this move, the auras of the several people immediately seemed exhausted, as if they had used all their strength without holding back.
But Cheng He knew perfectly well this wasn't the case.
Both he and Yang Qianqian had reserved strength—now they just needed to rely on their own abilities and retreat immediately!!
Cheng He and Yang Qianqian moved quickly, but clearly someone was faster than them.
The figure that had just seemed to have no strength left now moved with agile steps, directly surpassing both of them—obviously he was the more far-sighted one.
That guy was even more shameless than the two of them!!
Since they all understood what schemes each other had in mind, shouldn't who retreated first and who covered the rear depend entirely on their own abilities?
When Xu Zisheng decided to do something, he never hesitated in the slightest.
Space rippled once again as Xu Zisheng completely merged into the darkness.
The figures of the white specter and the doll closely following behind him also quickly disappeared, as if their traces could no longer be found in this quiet, cold Orphanage.
Almost out of time—
Xu Zisheng mentally counted down how much time remained until 2 AM.
According to his estimation, there were less than ten minutes left.
Fortunately, after this corner, they would enter the area of the orphan dormitory building.
After that, they couldn't delay in the corridors either, or something would definitely go wrong.
He passed the corner unimpeded, but what displayed before Xu Zisheng was yet another obstacle. His pupils slightly contracted, and his somewhat hurried steps halted once again.
