Chapter 51 Mutual Destruction
Chapter 51 Mutual Destruction
"Then today, let us all go to our deaths!"
Hearing the bright and beautiful actress's voice, Lin Yuan laughed heartily, then charged into the crowd with his broken blade, only to be torn to pieces by the chaotic blades!
The next moment, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
The deafening shouts of battle filled his ears, and he instantly realized where he was:
battlefield!
That's right, on the battlefield.
This is a remote border region, invaded by foreign tribes. As a soldier, he naturally took up arms and joined his comrades in guarding the clock tower used to transmit military intelligence!
They call themselves guardians, but they're really just a suicide squad.
When the enemy gets close, they must risk their lives to hold them off, buying time for the bell ringer on the bell tower to ring the specially made bell.
The intelligence will be relayed back, but they are all destined to die here.
Lin Yuan was not afraid of death, but he had a question in his mind: why were beacon towers not used to transmit military intelligence? Could it be that the sound of bells could travel dozens of miles?
This sense of incongruity made him feel that the world was unreal.
"My lord."
A melodious voice came from behind him. Lin Yuan froze and turned around. He saw a bright "woman" in theatrical costume on the bell tower. All his original doubts were suppressed.
"To live and die together."
"Together in life and death!"
Lin Yuan's eyes were resolute, with an added touch of ruthlessness. He gripped his long sword tightly, turned around, and killed the enemy soldier who rushed forward. However, as the head flew off, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
This person's appearance seems familiar, but where have I seen it before?
"My lord."
"kill!"
The gentle voice touched his ears, and Lin Yuan's resolve hardened once more. With a low roar, he charged into the enemy ranks.
He didn't know how long he had been fighting when his long sword broke. All his comrades were dead, leaving him alone. He leaned against the bell tower he needed to protect, glanced back at the beautiful actress on the bell tower, and then turned and charged into the enemy ranks.
The next moment, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes...
Time and again, Lin Yuan almost forgot why he was there, but he knew he had to kill all the enemies in front of him, otherwise he would die, and the people he was protecting would also die.
and many more!
Who was the person I was protecting?
Never mind, survival comes first!
The killing continued, and so did the death.
Lin Yuan's memories gradually blurred with each death, as if only the instinct to kill remained, and his clothes almost completely transformed into those of the actor on the clock tower.
However, the mask on his face was even more ferocious and terrifying, like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell.
boom!
The long sword was thrust out, but the blade, which should have easily pierced the neck, was stopped.
A withered tree appeared on the battlefield at some unknown time. The tree bark was dry, and upon closer inspection, the outline of a human face could be clearly seen.
Not only that.
A red candle was hanging on the branch. The candle was lit, but the flame was green, which was very strange.
As the green light shone down, the hideous mask gradually faded, revealing Lin Yuan's face.
As his blank stare cleared, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the "enemies" behind the big tree. Many of them were familiar faces.
Peng Fangyuan...
Sun Ping's family of three...
Delivery guy...
And the silhouette of the face on the tree in front of us is clearly Peng Anxiao…
"It's really unnecessary, I'm not really going to die."
Lin Yuan lowered his eyes, reached out and took the half-burnt red ghost candle from the tree branch, then turned and ran towards the clock tower.
The performers are still alive.
The bell ringer is still here.
When Lin Yuan went up to the second floor, the two of them turned their heads to look at him at the same time. They did not make any moves, but the red ghost candle in Lin Yuan's hand began to burn fiercely.
Time's up!
Lin Yuan rushed forward and plunged his broken sword into the bell-ringer's body.
The longsword pierced through his body without drawing blood. The bell-ringer stared straight at Lin Yuan, clearly unharmed, waiting for the red ghost candle in Lin Yuan's hand to burn out before making his move.
Lin Yuan's thoughts raced. "If this thing is useless to you, then let's find something useful."
Although he didn't know where this strange space was, he was certain that the mirror actor and the bell ringer were fighting and struggling for their own bodies.
In other words, the battle was fought on the battlefield of his own body.
The longsword in his hand is likely also a supernatural creation of theirs, so it naturally cannot harm them. Therefore, the best option is...
Lin Yuan forcefully picked up the bell ringer and rushed towards the mirror-faced performer.
The moment he touched the bell ringer, the red ghost candle burned faster again, and when he hit the mirror figure, it burned out completely.
The surroundings were instantly plunged into darkness.
cold!
Bone-chilling cold!
The force of inertia caused Lin Yuan, the bell ringer, and the mirror performer to fall together into the darkness.
"This direction should be where Peng Anxiao's tree is; I wonder if it might fall and break..."
puff!
With a soft thud, Lin Yuan, who had been flying through the air for a full minute, felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and finally stopped falling.
"Thump!"
"My body is as it is... my soul... remains the same..."
……
"The situation in Xiaonan City is starting to deteriorate."
In the temporary command post, Cao Yanhua was watching the video signal transmitted from the satellite, his face extremely grim.
In the scene, Xiaonan City was not shrouded in the ghost realm, so it can be seen very clearly that it has entered a period of control and no serious incidents have occurred.
This includes the lakeside park at the source of the Ghost Bell Tower.
Wang Xiaoming, Li Jun, and the others had clearly entered the lakeside park, but they couldn't see anything at all, and the satellite positioning mobile phones specially made by headquarters had lost signal.
Not only that.
The clock tower is already visible on some streets outside the lakeside park.
This scene, which shouldn't be happening, is clearly a sign of the spread of paranormal activity from the Ghost Bell Tower.
"Using sound as a medium to spread the curse, everyone who hears the bell will be cursed. Although there is no ghost realm, the harm is indeed great. Right now, the number of missing persons in Xiaonan City is still increasing, and a clock tower has appeared on the streets. It seems that Professor Wang and his team's operation has failed."
The man in the suit spoke calmly.
As one of the top ghost tamers of the current era, Jiang Shangbai, with his social media background, couldn't help but feel a twitch in his eyelids upon seeing this scene.
Without it.
He carefully considered his situation and realized that if he were to fall into Xiaonan City, he would have no chance of survival, since he had no knowledge of supernatural phenomena related to consciousness.
"If Professor Wang classifies it as an S-level paranormal event, it's indeed very difficult to handle. Minister Cao, I suggest we immediately follow Professor Wang's instructions and seal off Xiaonan City. We can't let anyone escape, otherwise everyone will become a source of infection, dragging the entire world into the abyss."
Cao Yanhua was very unwilling, "Don't you have any ideas?"
