Chapter 1426: Chapter 53: The Big Sister in the Tree Is a Bad Person
No one knows when it started, but a thin layer of fog began to appear on the streets of the ancient city.
This immediately raised suspicion for the Thunder Tower Master—the city was enveloped by the Association’s barrier, which, although it doesn’t isolate all temperature-related conditions, the sudden emergence of fog was clearly unreasonable.
“Look, something is approaching in the fog!” A deacon pointed towards a certain direction in the mist.
They all turned to look, and saw a figure slowly approaching through the increasingly dense fog.
“It might be an undead from here, be careful.” The Thunder Tower Master frowned—he was stationed here mainly to prevent these undead from breaking through the barrier and escaping into the real world.
“It doesn’t seem like it…” The deacon who first noticed flipped his palm open, naturally emitting light, illuminating the way forward.
The approaching figure staggered, moving with apparent difficulty… it gradually became clearer, soon visible under the direct light.
“It’s Lord Kuroloya!”
The Kuroloya in front appeared severely injured. He was clutching his shoulder with one hand as if he could collapse at any moment, with multiple bleeding wounds on his body.
At this moment, Kuroloya struggled to lift his head, his lips moving slightly as though wanting to say something… but no sound came out before he finally fell to the ground.
The Thunder Tower Master was startled but didn’t act immediately, simply frowning deeply—beside him, a deacon had already rushed out, directly reaching Kuroloya’s side.
“Lord Kuroloya! What happened to you? What happened? Where is our Tower Master?”
The deacon hurriedly helped the fallen Kuroloya up, shaking his body… but Kuroloya’s eyes remained tightly shut, showing no sign of movement.
This deacon’s face instantly darkened, lifting Kuroloya to carry him back, but as he looked towards the Thunder Tower Master and the other deacon, he noticed a trace of fear in their eyes.
“Be careful!”
He instinctively shivered—at that moment, something pierced through his back from behind… it was a sharp, black sword.
At this moment, lightning crackled in the Thunder Tower Master’s palm… but ultimately, he was a step too late.
The deacon, impaled by the black sword, realized what had happened. He desperately pushed ‘Kuroloya’ he was supporting aside and shouted angrily, slamming his palm against ‘Kuroloya’s body.
Flames erupted where they touched, followed by an intense explosion… the blast separated them, the deacon was pushed towards the Thunder Tower Master, and the other deacon quickly reached out to catch him.
The ‘Kuroloya’ blasted away was lying on the ground on the other side… but this ‘Kuroloya’s body began to melt, eventually turning into a pile of black ashes.
“What’s wrong with him?” The Thunder Tower Master swiftly erected an electric wall around them, turning back to ask anxiously.
“He’s already… dead.”
Looking at the deacon lying in his companion’s arms, with eyes still filled with fear and anger, the Thunder Tower Master gritted his teeth, quickly retrieved a vial, and said, “Stabilize his Spirit Fire! It shouldn’t be extinguished yet!”
“No… no! I can’t feel it… it’s gone! His Spirit Fire has vanished!”
“What?!” The Thunder Tower Master was both shocked and furious, but at that moment, his eyebrows twitched, and he shouted, “Move away!!”
The Thunder Tower Master extended his fingers, swiftly pointing out, a bolt of lightning shot from his fingertip. The deacon reacted quickly, instinctively ducking his head at the sound.
The lightning barely grazed past the top of his head, hitting behind him… something seemed to be behind him—the deacon turned back in terror, seeing a figure standing there—an ashen figure with the same appearance as his deceased companion, now like the undead that roam the ancient city!
In a flash, the Thunder Tower Master struck again, directly destroying the undead formed from the deceased deacon, then retracted the electric wall to protect himself and the remaining deacon—but the body of the already dead deacon could only be isolated outside the electric wall.
“What on earth… happened? Why in such a short time…”
“It seems…” The Thunder Tower Master looked grave, “In this place, once someone dies, they get… transformed.”
“Then…” The remaining deacon gasped, recalling the ‘Kuroloya’ who attacked earlier, “the Luminous Tower Master and the others, could they have already encountered… danger?!”
The Thunder Tower Master remained silent.
Because at that moment, he realized that he had lost all means of communication with the Luminous… here, the thickening fog had blocked all effective communication.
“Tower Master, we should now…”
The Thunder Tower Master looked down, quickly said, “Take my token back to headquarters, inform the Crimson Flame Tower Master… they will know what to do.”
“You?”
The Thunder Tower Master said sternly, “I’ll wait for them here.”
“Alright!” The deacon dared not hesitate… he glanced once at his dead companion’s body, hesitated slightly, then rushed out through the barrier’s exit, immediately heading towards the Coordinates to return to the Unhuman Domain.
…
In the ancient city’s… castle interior.
The true dragon of China did not seem too battered at the moment, but her patience had worn thin—as she and her companions got separated!
Within this enormous and unfathomable castle, Long Xiruo proceeded with Luo Pianqian without encountering any enemies… instead, they came across the terrifying traps of the castle.
As they walked, the castle suddenly started to collapse, and as they walked, the castle’s walls, ceilings, and even floors began to move, rotate, flip, and even fold, unexpectedly and without warning.
It was as if they had entered a constantly shifting and reorganizing labyrinth… utterly without pattern!
Long Xiruo even tried not to touch anything, yet she still couldn’t prevent the castle’s eerie transformations.
Moreover, the place had a strong signal-blocking capability, the true dragon of China couldn’t use her spiritual sense to search for any sign of her companions like Luminous—moreover, with the castle’s constant changes, she couldn’t even figure out where she was at present.
On top of that, Long Xiruo also felt her power rapidly draining… even standing still, her stamina was depleting at an alarming rate.
The true dragon of China, unable to replenish her energy, gradually felt a brewing sense of unease… whereas the little butterfly monster seemed unaffected, acting entirely normal.
It seemed the stronger the power, the stronger the suppression… or something like that.
The true dragon of China mused to herself: Should I settle the previous accounts and continue using the Intelligence Channel? But drawing essence blood in this place…
“Sister Long, it seems to have stopped!” The little butterfly monster quickly said.
They had been hiding in a small room found along the way—a room quite sparse within, yet constantly moving… until now, when this movement finally ceased.
Long Xiruo furrowed her brows, cautiously approaching the door to open it—only to find that the moment she opened it, she faced a sealed wall… this room’s only exit had inexplicably been sealed off!
“…Who the heck designed this castle?”
Just then, the room shook violently once again… The shaking felt as if the entire world was flipping over, turning around, rotating, and rocking!
She used the True Dragon’s power to protect both herself and Luo Pianqian simultaneously. At this moment, they were like rubber balls, bouncing back and forth, back and forth… back and forth within this room.
“Seriously… is it ever going to stop!!!”
Even the Godly Land True Dragon felt her stomach starting to churn.
…
About the size of a cube-shaped sugar piece, this component was currently in Luo Ya’s hand—she stopped shaking the small cube component in her hand and then brought it closer to her eyes.
She always felt like she saw something inside, but suddenly it seemed like there was nothing to see… feeling strange, Luo Ya instinctively continued shaking the small cube… After shaking several times, she again felt she hadn’t seen anything.
Luo Ya tilted her head slightly and quickly shifted her focus from the cube to something else—the castle model.
After several rounds of pushing and restarting, what initially had some Romanesque style had now transformed into a simple pile of chaotic bricks.
“The little master is so amazing!” Yet, as a companion, the Star Creation Creature Pillow [Mian Mian] kept praising her vigorously and even said very obediently, “If the master sees it, he will definitely praise the little master!”
“Really?” Luo Ya asked softly.
“Of course!”
Whether it is true or not… saying you’re right at this moment is never wrong—As a Star Creation Creature tasked with companionship, figuring out ways to make the little master happy is almost what this pillow thinks about every day.
“Ah, right!” [Mian Mian] suddenly swelled up—its surface began to bulge, the bulging places even became three-dimensional, and then it turned into a model of ancient Huaxia palace architecture!
Star Creation Creatures possess memories before being endowed with life—this pillow had stayed in Luo Qiu’s home for several years before turning into a Star Creation Creature.
“I remember the master liked watching some scenic photos in the past, little master!” [Mian Mian] made a serious statement: “Oh, and this kind too!”
Its surface bulged again, and next to the palace complex, a small pyramid stood up.
Looking at the buildings [Mian Mian] made from memory, Luo Ya blinked, then glanced at the indescribable heap she’d produced, thought for a moment… and reached out, expressionlessly pushing it~
Pop… Crash!
The components scattered again.
Luo Ya started stacking the pieces again… Underneath the attic window, Da Zhe happened to connect a hose, watering the grass in the back garden.
Not far away in the kitchen, one could occasionally see the maid’s busy figure inside… And the aroma of baked cookies wafted out from time to time, which was quite pleasant.
Da Zhe looked up at the very appropriate sunlight in the sky, yawned lazily, and said, “Peaceful days are really nice…”
…
…
The school is at a place where one can see the seaside… After leaving the manor, Boss Luo casually walked along the edge of the coastline for a while before heading towards the town outside the campus.
This is a place filled with a sense of tranquility, which is indeed Boss Luo’s current impression.
Even counting the academy’s students, there aren’t many people here—naturally, there aren’t too many shops either. After all, the town’s market is only so big; if there were more shops, they might become unsustainable.
If the club were to be situated in such a place, the chance to attract customers on regular days would considerably decrease.
If there weren’t other projects capable of steadily increasing revenue, then even Boss Luo alone would have to seriously consider if opening a store here is appropriate given his usual extravagant spending.
He had actually found a few favorite places where he could establish the store… It’s just that none of them have been definitively finalized yet.
Having options might be a good thing; the greatest fear is losing the opportunity to choose… or having already lost the desire to choose.
He stopped at a corner resembling a small park-like place—here, Boss Luo felt Nero’s presence and easily found her residing at this location.
On a tree.
On a branch, a couple of shopping bags filled with stuff were hanging, and Nero lay casually across the branches, resting her head on her hands, chewing gum, blowing a big bubble now and then, clearly in a very pleasant mood.
The reason she didn’t notice Boss Luo’s arrival was… Luo Qiu hadn’t intended for Nero to immediately realize he was there.
At this moment, several children were playing under the tree… Perhaps to some adults, it was merely kids playing… if you overlook the existence of some bullying behavior among them.
The bullied little boy looked only about five or six years old, with thick brown hair… He was being teased by older kids at that moment.
The little boy’s balloon had been taken away… he was indeed short, unable to retrieve his belonging from the taller children.
Nero on the tree showed no interest in the scene at all… She even yawned out of boredom.
Until the balloon taken away accidentally left the older kids’ hands, flew onto the tree, and gently bumped against her hanging leg; that’s when the Black soul envoy resting on the tree turned her head to look down.
The children instinctively looked up at the balloon flying onto the branch and getting stuck… Initially, they saw nothing, but suddenly a beautiful big sister with short white hair appeared on the branch.
The children stared in disbelief, even the little boy who had his balloon snatched away was dazed.
Suddenly, the beautiful short-haired woman transformed into a horrific visage with aged, oozing skin, eyeballs even falling out.
Wow—!!
The children screamed in fright, fell to the ground, and scrambled away in fear… Nero up on the tree burst into extreme laughter.
She casually pulled out an apple from the shopping bag and started chewing on it—Nero resumed her original appearance and looked down again from a high angle, saying casually, “Little dog, you’re not afraid?”
“Balloon…” The little boy suppressed his fear and bravely looked at Nero.
Nero turned her head to look at the balloon stuck nearby, suddenly grinning wickedly… She took another bite of the apple, reached the core, and spit out the apple seed.
Bang—!
The balloon burst from the apple seed firing, and the broken balloon fell down along with the string… something seemed tied to one end, like a small paper note.
The little boy’s eyes reddened immediately, but he didn’t speak, just quietly picked up the piece, wiped his eyes, and slowly walked away from the place.
Nero turned her head for another glance, biting the apple again… it somehow tasted more sour.
