Chapter 97: White Shadow identity, oppression looms!
The child turned and ran without a moment's hesitation.
Qin Nuo was certain he was scared off.
A Horror Level ghost, frightened like this?
"Watch out!"
The Blood-Eyed Ghost suddenly spoke, two blood-red eyes appearing on its arm. As corpse spots spread, bulging veins throbbed violently.
Qin Nuo didn't hesitate, gripping the Grave Ghost Stone tightly. Using the terrifying ghost power from the blood-red eyes, he swung his arm, hurling the stone like a cannonball.
Whoosh!!
The White Shadow that rushed into the room raised its hand and caught the Grave Ghost Stone. The powerful ghost power caused its figure to pause momentarily.
"Attack!"
In a flash, Lan Yan threw the metal ball from the darkness.The metal ball transformed into a large net, entangling the White Shadow completely.
"Emperor!" Lan Yan shouted.
In the darkness, the blond man reacted just as swiftly. As the net ensnared the White Shadow, he leaped into the air, thrusting his naginata fiercely at the White Shadow!
At that moment, Qin Nuo and Lan Yan's eyes followed the blade of the naginata closely.
However, just as the blade pierced the White Shadow, their hopes were dashed.
The White Shadow suddenly unleashed terrifying ghost power, nullifying the force of the Grave Ghost Stone and sending it flying away. The net was torn to shreds in an instant.
A withered finger gently flicked the blade about to pierce its skull.
In an instant, the blade of the naginata shattered completely!
The White Shadow reversed its grip, clutching the blond man's throat.
The situation was instantly reversed!
Lan Yan's heart sank: "We're doomed."
The only hope, the naginata, was gone!
Qin Nuo, unlike Lan Yan, didn't freeze. He quickly took out his own bottle of holy water.
If the first bottle didn't work, then use the second!
Looking at the blond man in its grasp, the White Shadow's killing intent surged, its five fingers suddenly exerting force.
On the brink of death, the blond man remained unusually calm, half his face covered in corpse spots, one eye turning pitch black.
The corpse spots spread like maggots on bones, covering half his body.
From a distance, the blond man's half body looked as if it had been severely burned, skin cracked and charred, emitting white smoke.
Half-Ghost!
The blond man had made a contract with a Burning Ghost for half of his body.
The White Shadow clearly didn't regard the Burning Ghost, raising its other hand when the blond man suddenly struck first.
His right hand shot up, a hand blade slicing through the darkness like a sharp knife.
But it only cut a piece of skin off the White Shadow's face.
Instead, the White Shadow's five fingers grabbed and tore off the blond man's entire right arm, throwing him into the corner.
The disparity in strength was evident!
The blond man didn't look at his injury, his gaze fixed on the White Shadow.
The White Shadow gripped the charred arm, about to crush it, when its body suddenly paused.
On its right cheek, the piece of skin that had been cut began to spread wildly, emitting a large amount of white smoke.
At this moment, the light screen faded, revealing the true form of the White Shadow.
Qin Nuo and the others' expressions changed slightly: "Nun!"
But this was different from the nun during the day. The daytime nun wore a white habit, a cross hanging on her chest, devout and mysterious.
The one before them wore a black habit, with an inverted cross on her chest, her face terrifying, filled with resentment and malice.
Now, that less than a finger's length skin injury had become the nun's fatal wound, her skin cracking like a dry surface, spreading all over her body.
In an indescribable terrifying sound, the black nun's skin flaked off into powder, her body collapsing bit by bit, finally turning into a pile of white dust, with only the black habit remaining intact.
Qin Nuo and Lan Yan hadn't reacted.
The situation had turned around again!
Lan Yan walked over, looking at the powder being blown away bit by bit on the ground, and stared in shock at the blond man still sitting on the ground: "The ghost inside you is so terrifying, why didn't you act earlier?"
The blond man glanced at him: "I was gripped like an ant by it, easily having an arm torn off, do you think that's terrifying?"
"Then what happened?" Lan Yan helped the blond man up, glancing at the ground as he asked.
"I saved some of the holy water, smeared it on my hand. Only an idiot would use all the holy water on a ghost creature. Once the ghost creature is destroyed, the trump card is gone."
"The reward clearly stated that as long as the main holy water doesn't enter the body, it won't lose its effect."
"The other side must have known this too, prepared in advance, and could only be caught off guard."
Lan Yan suddenly understood: "Smart."
Qin Nuo walked over: "How's your hand?"
"Not a big problem." The blond man shook his head.
The right arm's severed end didn't bleed, like a dry piece of wood being snapped off. His right half was parasitized by the contract, and in the game, he wouldn't feel much pain or be affected. After exiting the game instance, he would be fine.
But the Burning Ghost inside him must have suffered some damage.
Qin Nuo picked up the black nun's habit from the ground. He finally understood why the child had run away in fear.
Lan Yan asked: "Are these the nuns from the daytime?"
Qin Nuo shook his head: "I don't know."
These black nuns were dressed completely opposite to the white nuns during the day, and much more terrifying.
"This is the true face of the night nightmare. It seems there are secrets about the nuns we don't know." Qin Nuo murmured.
"What's worse, the mental hospital hasn't changed at all, and the game broadcast hasn't sounded..."
The blond man shook his head, sighing: "We guessed wrong, the black nun isn't the mastermind!"
The first bottle of holy water was wasted.
All three of them looked a bit grim.
The clues all pointed to the night, but besides these nuns, what else was there?
"The puzzle!" Lan Yan suddenly said.
"The eight puzzle pieces can form a rough picture, there must be other clues inside."
"Let's piece it together and see." The blond man and Qin Nuo had no objections.
This should have been done yesterday, but it kept getting delayed.
However, as the three of them took out the puzzle pieces, whether by fate or coincidence, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped sharply again.
In the corridor, a flood of ghost aura surged in!
"Something's approaching again!" the Blood-Eyed Ghost spoke.
Without needing its reminder, Qin Nuo and the others had already started moving, gripping their ghost creatures, eyes fixed on the corner of the corridor.
Soon, in the darkness, another White Shadow appeared!
In the night, there wasn't just one black nun!
The three of them instinctively took a step back, their ghost creatures feeling as fragile as toys.
"Use my holy water!" Lan Yan gripped the glass bottle, knowing it was the only thing that could counter the black nun.
But then, a scene that made their scalps tingle appeared.
In the darkness, after one White Shadow appeared, a second, third, and fourth followed...
One after another, White Shadows gathered, approaching like an army.
An unprecedented sense of terror pressed down on the three in the room!
Lan Yan's hand holding the glass bottle trembled slightly. Qin Nuo glanced at him: "That one bottle might not be enough..."
