Monster Escape Room Re-Employment Chapter 22

Snake of Shura

Jiang Lingyi and Lian Moqin found the injured Pangmei in the classroom. He was slumped in a chair, his face turned pale, his lips had almost lost their color, and half of his clothes were stained with dried blood. An unknown black gas kept oozing out from the fingers covering the wound on his arm, entangled with the small electricity to form a small thundercloud.

Jiang Lingyi didn’t care what Lian Mo Qin would think when he saw this scene, and immediately asked: “How is it? Where are the others?”

Pang Mei gritted his teeth: “That’s not an ordinary knife… it’s an “evil blade” condensed from the malice in people’s hearts. It’s not as simple as bleeding when you get hit. Moreover, I also smell an unpleasant smell from it. Give me some time, I will definitely remember it!”

His good arm hit the table hard: “Damn it! If I hadn’t become like this, would that kid have been able to get a piece of my clothes?”

Even Mo Qin didn’t understand what he was talking about, and thought it was a secret room script setting, but he couldn’t be indifferent to the blood stains in the blockbuster: “Well… why don’t we call 120 first?”

“Our employees have been beaten.” Jiang Lingyi comforted him.

“Little classmate, what you said just now…does it mean that Shuhuai always harbors ill intentions toward you?” Lian Moqin couldn’t believe it. “Although he is willful, arrogant, putting on airs, picky about food, arrogant, and worrying, he is a good boy!”

Jiang Lingyi: “…”

Pang Mei: “…”

“It’s not his fault.”

A figure like falling snow fell among them, it was Lou Xian.Lian Moqin couldn’t help but rub his eyes. He didn’t realize how Lou Xian appeared at all.

Lou Xian’s gray eyes moved towards the compass on the table. Jiang Lingyi wanted to hand it to him, but he gently stopped him and picked it up himself.

“There are very slight spell residues… As I thought, he was cursed and lost his mind.”

“Curse? Which employee was negligent?” Jiang Lingyi thought quickly, “No, all the props are checked every day in the store. The only problem that can occur is when the hands are changed… I have to call the clown to ask.”

Pang Mei wrinkled his nose: “What curse can be hidden from all of us?”

Lian Moqin could no longer keep up with the rhythm and asked dully: “Ah? Are you engaged in metaphysics?”

“Store manager! Lord Lou Xian! Many abnormal reactions were found in the venue! The target location cannot be locked!” Hidden Fox Fairy shouted in the headset.

“Go and investigate them all. Work in pairs. Don’t spread out. Report any situation immediately.” Jiang Lingyi ordered, pointing at Lian Mo Qin, and said to Pang Mei, “You are injured, take him out, and stay together in the mall and not come back.”

“You think I’m a burden?” Pang Mei cried out aggrievedly, “You’re still a human being, you two should go out and take refuge!”

“Because of this, if we two humans meet Lian Shuhuai now, we have no way to deal with it. Even if you are slightly injured, you are still better than me, right?”

“Okay.” Pang Mei muttered, reluctantly agreed to Jiang Lingyi’s arrangement, grabbed Lian Moqin’s arm and walked out.

“Wait! What on earth are you talking about, what about human beings, magical powers… really don’t call an ambulance? My little classmate, please let me go! I have to go find Shuhuai!” Lian Moqin struggled to break free.

“It’s so annoying!” Pang Mei struck Lian Mo Qin in the back of the neck with a knife. The latter rolled his eyes and fainted immediately. Pang Mei held him on his shoulder with one hand. The wound on his arm had healed, but the unknown black energy was still wrapped around it.

Jiang Lingyi watched them leave the teaching building from the window, then turned around. Lou Xian’s back happened to be facing him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a horrifying scene——

A figure wrapped in black runes descended from the ceiling. It was the missing Lian Shuhuai. No matter how you looked at it, he was no longer himself.The eye sockets turned completely black, and his face seemed to have been run over by a seal, covered with mysterious engravings. The most eye-catching thing was the shadow-like blade in his hand, which was insubstantial and made entirely of black mist.

Jiang Lingyi instinctively wanted to escape. Every cell in his body and every instinct inherited from ancient humans in the cells warned him: there is no chance of winning, if you run away quickly, you will die.

But the blade was about to stab Lou Xian in the back.

There was only one thought left in his mind.Time was slowed down several times, everything was in slow motion, and all that was left was the echo of the beating heart.He felt a sense of familiarity, ah, just like when he jumped from the roof of the building. This was the primitive stimulation of that moment when he was extremely close to death. It was also a kind of defense mechanism of the brain to protect itself, making the senses the dullest and sharpest.

He flew towards the short distance of a few meters, seeming to be shouting something——

The next moment, the biting cold penetrated into his spinal cord, and his teeth chattered. It was not the severe pain that made people scream, but the heartbreaking coldness of gangrene that penetrated the bones and penetrated the organs, which matched its essence, human malice.

Jiang Lingyi used his last strength to support himself and ensured that Lou Xian who was protecting him was safe and sound. He looked at him in shock and realized what had happened. His gray eyes instantly transformed into burning gold, and his round pupils shrank into a slender one, like the gap in the abyss flickering in the flames.

No, those are not gentle and beautiful eyes like cat eyes, but eyes that are more primitive and more arousing of inner fear, belonging to a hunter——

Snake’s eyes.

These eyes were the last thing Jiang Lingyi saw before losing consciousness.

“Hey… there is actually a human being willing to block the knife for you. Forget it, you must have just tempted him to become your slave.”

Lian Shuhuai was still floating in the air. He spoke in a sinister tone, his voice distorted as if it came from another world.

Lou Xian turned a deaf ear to Lian Shuhuai’s provocation. He held the unconscious Jiang Lingyi in his arms. His face turned blue, his lips turned purple, and large blood stains spread on his flanks. His body temperature was gradually dropping, and a thicker residual mist of malice was corroding his mind.

“You are so cold-blooded. People are dying for you. You can’t even shed a tear. Lou Xian, you are still the same as before. Oh no, you are a cold-blooded animal to begin with, haha!”

Lou Xian murmured: “Why do you want to do such a thing…”

“Huh? You ask me? It’s nothing. I just see that you seem to be very happy recently and forget that you are here to serve a sentence! I kindly came here to remind you that no matter where you are, there will be no place for you, Snake of Shura!”

“That kind of thing can’t hurt me at all. You clearly know that I’m not a human being, so why do you do such…meaningless things…”

Lou Xian gently touched Jiang Lingyi’s cheek and held him in his arms as if to wrap him up.

“Are you, are you listening to me!”

“Human beings are so fragile, like ants and reeds. The slightest malice is nothing compared to the sacrifices they have offered to me for thousands of years…” Lou Xian narrowed his slender golden snake eyes pitifully, and finally looked up at Lian Shuhuai, “If you think that this level of curse can make me lose control, you have become my disciple in vain, Luo Su.”

“Lian Shuhuai” used special points to move the tiger away from the mountain. He thought he had finally squatted down to Lou Xian, who was alone. He didn’t pay attention to Jiang Lingyi at all, but his plot failed. He wanted to use Jiang Lingyi to mock Lou Xian and disturb him. Unexpectedly, he seemed completely unmoved. He was finally panicking in his heart, but he was still covering it up on his face.

“So what! This is the earth. If you don’t save that human being, he will die. Or will you kill the human being possessed by me first?”

“He won’t die.”

“Do you want to eat him and make him your snake’s belly?” Lian Shuhuai, who was possessed by Luo Su, laughed, “Isn’t this the same as what you did before! Sure enough, you never had a heart! I feel pity for this human being!”

Having said that, the wind pressure around Lou Xian suddenly became heavy and cold, and the fantasy world began to undergo violent turbulence. Lian Shuhuai was just a young man, and his physical qualifications were weaker than those of adults. As a container for Luo Su’s temporary curse projection, it had almost reached its limit, and most of the evil blade in his hand had dissipated. Luo Su decisively abandoned the body, and Lian Shuhuai’s body immediately fell to the ground, motionless.

After confirming that Luo Su’s aura had completely dissipated, Lou Xian’s tense and bluffing posture relaxed slightly, cold sweat flowed all over his face, and a large formation rune that was darker and weirder than the evil blade and evil smoke appeared under his feet.He could only use the accumulated power of the Yin-Yang Clutch Formation to save Jiang Lingyi, but he was not 100% sure. He was so sure in front of Luo Su just now because he didn’t want him to see any flaws.

But he didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if he failed.As long as Jiang Lingyi is slightly associated with “death”, a heart-pounding pain will appear in his chest.

“He won’t die.”

This sentence was also meant for himself.
