Chapter XIII Attack
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
At midnight, there was a slight knock on the door.
Feng Yijia suddenly opened her eyes from her sleep, and Yan Ru, who was sleeping in the same room as her, was also awakened by the movement outside at this time.
Captain Zhu Qingrong and his companion Liu Jigeng's room is downstairs. Logically speaking, it is impossible for them to be outside the door now.
Fearing that she would be the first target of attack, Feng Yijia quickly took out the props holy water and cross, curled up on the bed and assumed a defensive posture. Yan Ru put her index finger against her lips, signaling her not to make a sound.
The knocking on the door was intermittent, neither light nor heavy. It always lasted for three times, then disappeared...and continued for three more times...
"I'll go down and see what's going on outside. Just stay here and don't move." Yan Ru said, quietly lifting the quilt, putting on her slippers and getting out of bed.
In the darkness, the knocking on the door was clear, dull and rhythmic.
Yan Ru gently grasped the door handle. She held her breath attentively, and spiderweb-like silver filaments spread out from her palm. The filaments drilled out along the crack of the door, as if to detect the breath of the "person" outside the door.
If she captures the target, she can instantly activate the strangulation technique.
However, the strange thing is that there is nothing outside the door.
The knocking on the door suddenly stopped, and Yan Ru immediately opened the door without hesitation.
The imagined attack did not appear. There was nothing outside their bedroom door. Seeing this, Feng Yijia breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm going to call the captain and the others." As soon as Yan Ru finished speaking, the cabinet door of their bedroom made a strange sound and opened by itself.
Feng Yijia was startled by the sudden movement. She quickly raised the cross necklace in her hand and pointed it at the closet, while trying to activate her space transfer ability.
But the next second, a strange force violently knocked away the exorcism tool in her hand; then, her loose shawl long hair seemed to be picked up by an invisible hand, and her whole body floated all of a sudden.
in mid-air.
Feng Yijia felt a bone-chilling chill, her whole body felt as heavy as lead, and she was unable to even activate her powers. And her current body was just that of a child, completely unable to compete with this strange power.
Yan Ru saw that Feng Yijia's back was pressed against the wall and she was sucked to the ceiling; at the same time, five black fingerprints appeared on her slender wrist.
All this happened in just three seconds. When Yan Ru reacted and wanted to save people, she felt that her body was hit by a strange force, and her whole body was ejected from the door and fell into the corridor.
The places where the marks appeared on the skin were like burning fire, causing Feng Yijia to scream in pain. After hearing the huge movement upstairs, Liu Jigeng and Zhu Qingrong rushed over.
"Are you okay?!" Liu Jigeng hurriedly helped Yan Ru, while Zhu Qingrong rushed directly into the house. He did not rescue Feng Yijia immediately, but quickly looked around.
Seeing the open wardrobe, a flash of purple light flashed in Zhu Qingrong's eyes. He quickly took out a palm-sized puppet from his space backpack. Then, Yan Ru outside the door immediately understood what the other party meant and released the strangulation technique towards Feng Yijia.
The sharp spider silk was as tough as a steel needle. The moment it scratched the side of Feng Yijia's face, it made a gash about five centimeters long.
"Click"
The blood on Feng Yijia's face fell on the puppet doll. Zhu Qingrong put away the puppet and muttered something. A faint purple light covered the doll's body like a film. Then, the same scars as Feng Yijia appeared on the puppet's wrist.
"go--"
Zhu Qingrong chuckled softly and threw the doll towards the closet.
"Captain, there is something!" Liu Jigeng's eyes widened at the door: he clearly saw a pair of black arms with sharp nails sticking out of the cabinet.
Those hands grabbed the puppet and took it back to the closet with lightning speed.
The moment the cabinet door closed, Feng Yijia on the ceiling suddenly felt that the strange power in her body disappeared, and her body fell uncontrollably. The moment she was about to touch the ground, her body suddenly stagnated.
Zhu Qingrong stood not far away with an expressionless face, a red light suddenly appeared in his eyes. He controlled the gravity nearby to prevent Feng Yijia from falling from a height and being injured.
"Thank you, Captain...Thanks to you just now..." Feng Yijia, who was still in shock, quickly got up from the ground. She could hardly believe that Zhu Qingrong had activated so many powers in one go in order to save herself.
You must know that although [Believer] allows him to infinitely copy other players' abilities, there is an upper limit on the number of times Zhu Qingrong can use them in the dungeon, and each time he activates an ability, the effect of the next release will be greatly reduced.
Zhu Qingrong just didn't have to waste the anti-gravity field to save himself, but even so, he still did it.
Based on Feng Yijia's understanding of his captain, he has a rational mind and a cold personality. He does everything based on profit, including saving himself. If he didn't keep her still useful, Zhu Qingrong would never take action.
Not only Feng Yijia, but also Liu Jigeng and Yan Ru who witnessed the whole process were extremely surprised. The ceiling was only about three meters above the ground, and Feng Yijia fell down and was only slightly injured at most.
What the three of them didn't know was that catching Feng Yijia just now was also Zhu Qingrong's subconscious move.
Half a year ago, Zhu Qingrong and his wife encountered a crisis during a mission. At the critical moment of life and death, his wife sacrificed herself to save him. When his wife was dying, Zhu Qingrong promised her that he would live on with her share, and
Take good care of your daughter.
Therefore, when Feng Yijia fell down screaming just now, Zhu Qingrong suddenly thought of his daughter Zhu Xueyuan - she was similar to the role Feng Yijia was playing now, and she was only eight years old.
For the sake of his wife and daughter, Zhu Qingrong has been absorbing and copying the abilities of other players in the past six months, just to make himself stronger, win the treasure hunt game, and resurrect his wife.
Just as Feng Yijia finished thanking him, suddenly, the cabinet door opened by itself again.
This movement also frightened Liu Jigeng and Yan Ru. Just when the three of them thought they would encounter a new attack, a dull sound suddenly came from the cabinet.
Under the gaze of everyone, the bloody puppet just rolled out of the cabinet.
The puppet's body was torn into pieces, with only a portion of cotton remaining attached to the joints. The cotton in the puppet's abdomen had long been hollowed out, leaving only a button eye on its face, and a vicious and weird smile was outlined on its face.
Thinking that this puppet had replaced him, Feng Yijia's body suddenly trembled like an electric shock.
At the same time, the room was filled with a vague smell of blood. Liu Jigeng turned on the wall lamp on the wall, and the moment the room lit up, Feng Yijia realized that the back of his pajamas was covered in blood.
She subconsciously raised her head and looked at the ceiling. Sure enough, everyone found a line of crooked words in blood on the wall:
Chapter completed!
