Chapter 11 Life Hangs by a Thread, Mission Completed
He swung his body with all his might, shaking off everything on his shoulders.
Then I wanted to run as fast as I could, force my way through the mascots, and break out of the mall.
But just as he turned to face the mall entrance, something extremely shocking blocked his only path to survival.
Not far from the hotel entrance stand two magnificent, decorative beams.
The thing was behind the beam, with only half its face showing.
She was a girl who looked to be around twenty years old, but her skin was covered with the bluish-gray color of the dead. Her full head of black hair floated in the air like seaweed. The white dress she wore was tattered and old, and stained with blood. She had delicate features and a beautiful face, with a noticeable beauty mark under her eye.
She should have been an exceptionally beautiful young woman, but the woman's eyes ruined everything. Her eyeballs were like they were soaked in blood, a deep red, and her pupils were filled with a murderous intent and resentment that seemed to numb and rupture one's heart.
Horror and beauty intertwined perfectly, transforming into a hammer that shattered the skull, delivering the most shocking stimulation to the brain tissue.
"Hiss hiss hiss—"
The serpentine whispers returned once more.
Lin Yue's vision began to blur, and a surge of hallucinations overwhelmed her. The floor turned into a fleshy carpet, the beams became intestines that stretched to the sky, and all the mannequins became terrifying and insane corpses.
He looked down at his palms and saw that his skin was festering inch by inch, revealing bright red muscle and fat.
The powerful, eerie aura instantly shattered people's mental barriers, producing extremely intense hallucinations.
However, Lin Yue's willpower attribute of 1.5 came into play at this moment.
He suddenly shook his head.
Those illusions were then driven away from my sight.
The shopping mall has returned to normal.
After Lin Yue's gaze returned to normal, it met Wen Ning's ferocious bloodshot eyes.
The eyes are the windows of the soul.
But what I saw were those eyes that seemed to shatter human reason.
Lin Yue could then understand Wen Ning's thoughts at that moment.
She's going to kill herself!
The previous method of using the broken ring to evoke fond memories was completely ineffective!
If a timid person saw something so surreal at that moment, they would probably faint on the spot.
Despite feeling a chill all over her body, Lin Yue's mind remained perfectly calm, and her adrenaline surged.
He threw the ring away and ran away again.
Wen Ning blocked the doorway.
Going through the main gate now would be suicide! We must find another exit; we'll break any window and jump out!
But the broken dolls that had been staring blankly all suddenly started moving.
They move in an extremely contorted posture, either writhing and running wildly or crawling frantically on the ground.
"Pat-pat-pat-pat—"
They pounced on them like African hyenas hunting their prey.
The ring that fell to the ground was trampled to pieces.
Lin Yue had only ever seen such terrifying scenes in movies. He immediately pulled out the spiritual stone (200 RMB) that was supposedly blessed by a high-ranking monk, along with other miscellaneous items—peach wood struck by lightning (300 RMB), a talisman written in the blood of a Taoist master (1200 RMB)...
There were seven or eight of these items, ranging in value from 1500 to 100, all of which he stuffed into his clothes.
It's fair to say that he's used up all of his previous mission rewards and his savings.
The main strategy is to cast a wide net and catch a lot of fish. No matter how many fakes are in it, as long as there is one real one, he has passed the test.
Lin Yue now held these things like they were lifelines, raising them above her head with a "whoosh," and roared with bloodshot eyes, "Let's see who dares to come near!"
"Pat-pat-pat-pat—"
Unexpectedly, the puppets did not slow down; in fact, they seemed even more excited.
He looked like a madman, ready to rush up and tear him to pieces.
Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, then started cursing.
"Damn! Not a single one of them is real!"
He slammed those things down with all his might.
Several dolls were knocked off balance and stumbled, but it didn't really help much.
Lin Yue tried to escape as fast as he could, but the mascots were everywhere in the mall. Even if Usain Bolt came, he probably wouldn't be able to break through this terrifying encirclement. He had only run about ten meters when several mascots pounced on him and grabbed him like monkeys.
The doll was so strong that it pinched him until he was covered in bruises, as if it wanted to tear him apart and make him as broken as the doll itself.
At the same time, when he was touched by the doll, he also felt a deathly aura flowing from the doll into his body, causing his breathing to gradually slow down and his heartbeat to slowly weaken.
Both of these forces, one physical and one magical, are extremely deadly. Lin Yue doesn't know which one will kill her first if she drags on any longer.
Within seconds, his consciousness began to fade.
On her deathbed, Lin Yue looked up toward the doorway and saw that the half-hidden eye in the beam was now filled with pleasure and mockery, looking extremely excited.
Lin Yue couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
"Damn it! You slut!"
What's even more despicable is that idiotic system, which calls itself a "Goddess Conquest System." You might as well call it a "Ghost Conquest System"!
However, this tirade only lasts for two or three sentences.
Lin Yue's face began to turn blue due to lack of oxygen; he was about to die.
Suddenly, the mall entrance opened.
A beam of light shot in from outside.
At the same time, a middle-aged woman's voice called out, "Xiaoyue? Are you in here?"
Like rain after a long drought, or a withered branch encountered while leaping off a cliff.
This gentle voice was filled with immense power.
This startled Wen Ning, who was hiding behind the beam, as if he had been electrocuted, and his face was filled with panic.
She no longer cared about torturing Lin Yue; with a flash, she disappeared from the spot.
The crazed puppets seemed to lose their power, all of them froze and fell to the ground.
"Snap—crash—"
A huge commotion erupted inside the shopping mall.
Lin Yue was thus freed, and fell to the ground with a thud.
He coughed violently.
"Cough cough cough cough—!" She still couldn't help but strain her aching lungs and shout for help, "Aunt Sun, I'm here!"
It's perfectly normal for a young couple to bring their mother-in-law along on a date, right?
Fortunately, I didn't completely believe those fake monks, otherwise I would have really died here.
At this moment, Wen Ning's mother, Aunt Sun, walked over holding a cell phone flashlight and asked in surprise, "Xiao Yue? What happened to you? Why do you sound like you've been beaten? And why did these dolls make such a loud noise? They're all scattered on the ground. Were there any other people here just now?"
Ordinary people can't see ghosts.
So even though she was shining a flashlight, she still couldn't see the terrifying appearance of Wen Ning.
Lin Yue looked at the anxious Aunt Sun, whose face was pale, and smiled with relief, "Aunt Sun, you've finally arrived."
Fortunately, when I left that day, I insisted that Aunt Sun come to pay respects to Wen Ning at this time and place, otherwise I would have been ripped off by those swindlers.
Just then, he suddenly heard a sound in his ear.
"Ding—Congratulations, host, for completing the mission: Wen Ning's first date."
"Congratulations, host, you have gained 10% favorability with Wen Ning, 3000 RMB, and 0.2 free attribute points."
"bite--"
"During your date with Wen Ning, you not only acted humbly and politely, but also brought many small gifts, letting Wen Ning know that you had never forgotten her. She also realized the weight of this feeling in your heart. Keep up the good work."
I'll forget your humility and politeness, and I'll forget your little gift.
That idiot system is absolutely insane.
