The ultimate master in the city

Chapter 119 Nun

Zhou Fengchen is tone-deaf. Last time he sang at a nightclub, he almost made Monk Yuanzhi and the four girls cry. Fortunately, there was no one around, and even if there were, they might not actually be people.

He felt much better after venting his anger, so he got up and kicked open all the doors to the rooms in the courtyard one by one. As expected, there was still nothing inside.

Back in front of my room, I looked at the wall next to me and suddenly realized, what's next door?

He pushed off the wall and climbed over it. Looking across, he saw a completely different view – a courtyard on all sides, like a mirror image, exactly the same. There was no need to look any further.

He decided to go back to his room and rest for a while before talking about it. But as soon as he entered the room, he found that the table he had just kicked over had been picked up again, and there were three dishes, a soup, and two bowls of rice on it, all steaming hot.

He quickly ran out of the room, looked around, but it was empty, without a single person in sight. He returned to the table and stared at the food, a vague guess forming in his mind.

Everything in the world has its own rules and logic. In the village earlier, the other party was probably toying with or trapping him and Doromo. Now, creating this "ghost wall" must have some purpose. Otherwise, it would be too boring. You can't make people trapped to death a source of amusement, can you?

So... the indestructible woman in red and the old woman were probably acting as guards, and the food laced with the strange liquid was likely meant to nourish or numb people, who would then use their own bodies to feed something...

As expected, Qi Lian'er, Sang Rongrong, Zhang Shisan, Duoluomo, Han Fei, Song Xixue, and even Monk Yuanzhi are all trapped in a courtyard, feeling just as stifled as I am.

Thinking of this, Zhou Fengchen chuckled. "Hey! This is interesting. What are we, a grown man, afraid of? I wonder how we dealt with that cold-blooded girl Qi Lian'er and that delicate young lady Song Xixue? Haha."

He picked up his chopsticks and ate heartily. After finishing, he practiced the "Three Powers Return to Origin Exercise" to expel the fluid, felt relaxed, and fell asleep immediately.

What's meant to come will come; it's always better to wait patiently than to run around aimlessly like a headless fly.

……

When I woke up, nothing had happened, and it was still pitch black.

Although he was asleep, Zhou Fengchen could estimate that five or six hours had passed, and it should be almost dawn by now.

He stretched and went out the door. Looking outside, he saw that the bright red moon hadn't changed its position, and the courtyard was still as quiet and eerie as ever.

After wandering around the courtyard for a while, I got bored and went to look at the two bridges outside the courtyard. The woman in red was still wandering around aimlessly without any fatigue, and the old lady was still walking back and forth humming.

When Zhou Fengchen returned to his room in the courtyard, the sky was still the same. He was puzzled. How strange! Had time stood still?

If it were always night, it would drive people crazy.

He sat on the bed and waited, one hour, two hours... until three or four more hours passed, and it was still dark.

Zhou Fengchen suspected... that time hadn't stopped, since no one could do that; rather, they had entered some kind of strange illusion.

But what exactly does the other party want to do?

I couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I tried, so I just sat cross-legged and started to doze off.

In a daze, I suddenly heard a series of dense groans, as if the entire courtyard had suddenly been filled with people, and in each room there was a person howling in agony.

Yes! That's exactly the feeling.

He got up to go out and take a look. Just as he reached the door, a strange sound suddenly came from the yard, like a flock of birds flapping their wings and landing at the same time. Then there was a series of light, dense footsteps, and there was also a footstep outside his door.

Zhou Fengchen peeked out the window and saw the old nun who had been in charge of the ceremony next to the Buddha statue approaching with a sly smile when he was offering incense in the main hall of Shuiyue Nunnery yesterday.

Not only her, but at this moment there was a nun standing at the door of almost every room in the courtyard.

Forty or fifty bald heads huddled together looked quite spectacular, but their furtive figures and strange expressions, combined with the eerie red mist, created a very unsettling atmosphere.

Zhou Fengchen was extremely puzzled. He clearly remembered kicking open the doors to the rooms in the courtyard, so why were they closed again? What were these nuns up to?

The head nun reached out to push the door open, but Zhou Fengchen quickly returned to the bedside, lay down gently, and closed his eyes, pretending to be fast asleep.

"Creak—"

The door was pushed open, and the head nun tiptoed in, carrying a very strong smell of blood.

Zhou Fengchen opened his eyes a crack and saw the old nun staring at him with bright eyes and an inhumanly long tongue, as if she were looking at a delicious dish.

Zhou Fengchen thought to himself, "Is this old woman planning to eat me?" So he remained motionless, waiting to see what she would do next.

The old nun let out a strange, sinister laugh, then stretched her neck, and her body suddenly changed.

Its eyebrows were gone, its face was bald, its clothes were lying on the ground, its body was covered in wrinkled old skin, a pair of white fleshy wings grew from its back, its claws were sharp, it had a mouthful of fangs, and there was a thin fleshy pouch on its neck, just like when a toad croaks.

This appearance is absolutely terrifying!

She stared at Zhou Fengchen's neck, her eyes bloodshot, and opened her bloody mouth to bite!

"Tongming Finger!" Zhou Fengchen was disgusted and stabbed the old nun's eyes with his hand seal.

puff!

Caught off guard, the old nun was poked right in the eyes, her eyeballs bursting out. She screamed in agony and backed away, clutching her eyes.

Taking advantage of the situation, Zhou Fengchen drew his Goose Wing Blade, leaped up, and slashed down, splitting her in two with a single blow.

The screams stopped abruptly, the body fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then lay still.

"Go to hell!" Zhou Fengchen kicked the corpse aside, wiped his hands with the blanket, and ran out the door.

At this moment, screams echoed throughout the courtyard, and kerosene lamps were lit in every room, with someone howling inside.

I don't know when, but the whole courtyard was really full of people!

Zhou Fengchen quietly approached the next room and peered through the window. Inside, he saw a monster resembling the old nun from before biting the neck of a sickly girl on the bed and sucking her blood. With each suck, the fleshy sac below her neck would become fuller.

Zhou Fengchen's heart pounded. This was absolutely disgusting! What were these damned nuns doing? Were they vampires? He kicked open the door. "You beasts! Stop!"

The nun monster suddenly raised her head, opened her bloody mouth, and let out a strange, defiant cry at Zhou Fengchen.

Looking at the monster's face, Zhou Fengchen was stunned. Although its appearance had changed drastically, it still looked very familiar—Zhang Qian, the girl who died in college.

It turns out that after they were killed, they were brought here to become these ghost nuns!

"ah--"

At this moment, seeing that her demonstration was ineffective, "Zhang Qian" let out a fierce roar and pounced.

Zhou Fengchen kicked her away, then drew his goose-wing blade and slashed her horizontally at the waist. "Zhang Qian, let me send you to your end!"

puff!

Zhang Qian was cleaved in two and fell to the ground. Her upper body struggled for a moment, and she looked up at Zhou Fengchen. Her expression returned to normal, and she even showed a shy smile. She opened her mouth as if to say thank you, but then her head tilted to the side and she remained motionless.

Zhou Fengchen trembled slightly. She was quite an interesting female college student. Her life trajectory should have been to happily finish college, then work, fall in love, get married, and become a mother. However, she was harmed by evil spirits and could not even find peace after death.

His original plan to rescue Monk Yuanzhi and run away changed. No matter what kind of thing this old guy in the nunnery was, he was determined to kill him. Even if he couldn't beat him, he would still skin him alive!

He calmed himself down and walked to the bedside. The girl lying on the bed was a person, but she was now dead, with two bloody holes in her neck still oozing blood.

Just then, the sound of flapping wings came from outside again.

Zhou Fengchen disregarded the girls and rushed out the door, only to see dozens of nun monsters flapping their wings and flying away into the distance.

He was filled with rage, but since he couldn't fly, he could only vent his anger by cursing a few times before going to check each room one by one.

There was a person lying on the bed in each room, men, women, young and old, all of them thin as skin and bones, some not quite dead, but almost dead.
