Chapter 599: Explosive
Chapter 599: Explosive
In the center of the factory, there was a high platform. Judging from the color of the materials used to build the platform, it was not an original part of the factory and was likely constructed recently.
The same was true for the spotlights hanging from the ceiling of the factory, which were also brand new and not part of the original factory equipment.
The Hongyu Cement Factory had been abandoned for many years, and the original equipment had long been worn out and broken. It was impossible for them to be brand new.
Moreover, the Hongyu Cement Factory had been without electricity for many years, and the electrical circuits were likely damaged beyond repair. However, these problems seemed to have been resolved, or else the current scene would not have been possible.
On the platform, two people were suspended in mid-air. One of them was Shi Kai, but he looked miserable, covered in wounds and bloodstains, with a very weak breath. His distinctive duck-tongue hat was nowhere to be seen.
After Shi Kai's disappearance earlier, Yang Haoran and Boss Huo had suspected that he might have been kidnapped by a spirit master and followed in the footsteps of Yunchuan City's Burial Master. Although they had no evidence, the current scene proved their speculation to be correct - Shi Kai had indeed been captured by a spirit master.
The other person's condition was even more pitiful, with injuries more severe than Shi Kai's. He was on the verge of death, with only a faint breath left.
From the Yin Qi emanating from his body and the weak Yin spirit power fluctuations, it was clear that this person was from the Yin Division.
When the old lady and the Night Watch on the scene saw the person's face clearly, they were all shocked, because this person was none other than the Burial Master of Yunchuan City's Yin Division, who had been missing for several days.
Seeing their own divine envoy being tortured to such an extent, the old lady and the Night Watch on the scene felt a strong sense of unease, especially the old lady, who was about to take action to rescue him. However, she was stopped in time by Boss Huo.Boss Huo's intervention helped the old lady regain her composure, and she knew that she couldn't act without Boss Huo's orders, lest she disrupt the rhythm. So, she could only suppress her urge to rescue him immediately.
Below the two suspended Burial Masters, there was a black cloth covering something. From the rough outline, it seemed to be a statue, but what kind of statue it was, was unknown for the time being.
In front of the black cloth, a young man was standing, wearing a pair of sunglasses and a duck-tongue hat, which seemed to be Shi Kai's hat. The brim of the hat was worn backwards.
The young man was holding an electric guitar and had a microphone in front of him. He was playing the guitar with a carefree expression, swaying to the rhythm, and seemed to be enjoying himself.
The person who had just welcomed Yang Haoran and the others was this young man.
Seated in front of the platform, there were around twenty people, including men and women, elderly people, and young adults in their twenties.
They were all spirit masters, as they all emitted spiritual power. However, not all of them were full-fledged spirit masters, and some were only at the lowest level. The ghost floating behind each spirit master was their Guardian Spirit, which was also a symbol of a spirit master. Those without a Guardian Spirit behind them could only be considered low-level spirit masters and did not qualify as true spirit masters.
The arrival of Yang Haoran and others naturally attracted the attention of these spirit masters, who turned their heads one after another, casting their gaze towards Yang Haoran and others behind them. However, their reactions were not the same, with some wearing a cold smile, others revealing fear in their eyes, and some with no expression at all.
Apart from these spirit masters and the Guardian Spirit, several ghosts were floating in the air above the high platform, some with milky white eyes, others with blood-red eyes, staring fiercely at Yang Haoran and others.
The entire factory was filled with explosive music, but Boss Huo did not give the order to attack, instead watching with great interest as the man in sunglasses performed on the high platform.
Yang Haoran, on the other hand, did not have the leisure to enjoy the show like Boss Huo, his heart filled with vigilance, preparing for any sudden situation that might arise.
The two of them had their own thoughts, so neither of them took action towards their target. However, their inaction did not mean that others would not take action.
The young woman saw the man in sunglasses being so arrogant, even more so than herself, and suddenly felt an extreme sense of displeasure, letting out a cold hum, and a talisman appeared between her fingers.
This was a black talisman, held between the woman's fingers, not soft and fragile like ordinary paper, but straight and stiff like an iron plate.
With a slight flick of her wrist, the talisman was flung out, transforming into a black dart that shot towards the man in sunglasses on the high platform.
The middle-aged woman's face changed suddenly, realizing too late that the young woman had made a move, and the black talisman was like a flying knife, stabbing towards the man in sunglasses on the high platform.
At the same time, the others in the room also discovered the young woman's action!
Just as the black talisman was about to hit the man in sunglasses, he forcefully strummed the guitar strings.
A piercing sound erupted, forming a powerful force that actually blocked the incoming talisman, making it seem like it had hit an invisible wall and could not advance any further.
The man in sunglasses smiled, not only without anger but also feeling extremely excited, his fingers strumming the guitar strings again, and the piercing sound resonated once more, shattering the talisman that was suspended in mid-air, rendering it useless.
"Beauty, you seem to be in a hurry, interrupting such a wonderful melody, what a pity," the man in sunglasses said with a face full of regret, addressing the young woman.
"This noisy racket is probably only enjoyable to you," the young woman replied coldly.
At the same time, the middle-aged woman smiled apologetically at Boss Huo, her heart clear that her daughter's behavior was inappropriate, hoping to gain Boss Huo's understanding.
Boss Huo waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry, but the middle-aged woman was not foolish, and from Boss Huo's expression, she could see that he was unhappy, although he didn't show it strongly.
The middle-aged woman could fully understand Boss Huo's displeasure, as Boss Huo had decided not to take action for the time being, and her daughter's behavior had disrupted Boss Huo's plan, making him unhappy.
"You don't understand music, I won't blame you. But playing the zither to a cow, that's something I've never been interested in."
As the words fell, the man in sunglasses no longer looked at the young woman, instead shifting his gaze to Boss Huo, who was at the forefront.
