Chapter 046 The Church
The room was small, with just a table and a metal bunk bed.
Luo Xi walked around the room but couldn't find the hidden door.
The style was completely out of place with the church outside, making it feel like I had suddenly arrived in a new place that felt like a cage.
The room was dark, with the only light coming in from the window.
The window was so small that even if she could break it, she felt she wouldn't be able to escape through it.
Arriving at the iron-framed bed, although the light wasn't very bright, Luo Xi still checked under the bed and found nothing there.
Then Luo Xi looked at the white blanket on the bed.
The white quilt had turned slightly yellow and was casually spread on the bed; it wasn't exactly neat, but it wasn't messy either.
Luo Xi thought for a moment, then stood on the iron bunk bed, tiptoed, and looked out the window.
The world outside the window was nothing but darkness.
Only her own reflection was visible in the windowpane, where her delicate face appeared deathly pale in the dim room.
What's going on...?
She came to explore the Thousand Ravines Secret Realm and to hunt monsters, not to participate in a test of courage!
All she wants now is to wreak havoc!
Luo Xi was somewhat annoyed, then raised her hand and slapped the glass directly.
The glass remained completely still.
You should know that after these two days of rest and physical training, she can bend not only glass, but even steel pipes with a single palm strike.
but……
Luo Xi stood on tiptoe and observed the window for a long time, but still couldn't see anything special about it.
Magic appeared in his hands, and the glass window was sliced open instantly.
As if shattering the peace, the damaged window shook violently, rattling loudly.
The table by the bed was overturned, as if some unseen thing had entered the room and was throwing a tantrum.
Luo Xi hurriedly jumped off the bunk bed and warily watched the changes around her from the corner.
At this moment, the white quilt on the iron-framed bed was slowly puffing up, as if something was struggling inside.
Luo Xi stood in the corner, unsure whether to go forward or retreat.
The witch's own warning abilities were also ineffective at this moment.
I don't know if it's because there's no danger or some other reason that affected this ability.
The outline under the white blanket looks like a human, and it appears to be a child of about four or five years old.
Luo Xi didn't want to lift the covers to verify her guess.
She was worried that if she lifted the covers she would see something that would make her eyes water.
The noise in the room stopped, and after waiting for a while, nothing happened.
On the iron-framed bed, the bulging outline remained still.
Gritting her teeth, Luo Xi held her breath and carefully walked to the iron-framed bed.
Having already assumed a defensive stance, Luo Xi, her entire body imbued with magic, reached out to pull the blanket over her.
One by one, black things flew up, somewhat like insects, each about the size of a palm, flying like butterflies, rushing towards Luo Xi.
Luo Xi hurriedly dodged, using magic to protect her body. It looked like a black butterfly flying by, and the rustling sound of them rubbing against each other gave Luo Xi a chill.
As she dodged, magic shot out from Luo Xi's fingers, and things resembling black butterflies fell and disappeared.
The other black butterflies that weren't affected by the magic—let's call them black butterflies for now—flew onto the wall, then onto the ground, and then slowly disappeared.
I'm getting more and more confused.
After staying there for a while and seeing that nothing had happened, Luo Xi cautiously returned to the iron bunk bed.
There were only quilts piled up to the side and some yellowed white sheets; nothing else.
It wasn't that there was nothing there. Luo Xi looked down and saw a small, bluish-black hand on her white loafers.
It's hard to tell if it's a little girl's or a little boy's hand.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Luo Xi unleashed her magic and kicked out.
The magic's cutting properties activated, and the iron bed frame shattered instantly.
But there was nothing under the metal bunk bed.
Suppressing her rapidly beating heart, Luo Xi felt a surge of anger, though she didn't know where the anger came from.
Just as he was building up his anger, the whole room began to tremble.
Like an earthquake, the room began to shake, and the air seemed to become distorted.
With her magic activated, Luo Xi used its cutting properties to create a hole in the wall and escaped without looking back, reaching the main road.
After calming her breathing, Luo Xi looked up; the town was still shrouded in mist.
I checked my body and there was nothing unusual.
Still feeling uneasy, Luo Xi used her magic to scan her body again.
After walking for a while without finding anything, Luo Xi squatted down on the road and began to think silently.
Strange child shadows, strange rooms, strange towns, strange actions...
"Hehehe..."
It was that strange child's laughter again. Luo Xi didn't look up, but she could feel something running past her.
Luo Xi's eyes turned cold, but she ignored it.
At first, I seemed to be drawn in by the laughter, and then I went to a place that looked like a church.
Now that they've escaped, they're on the main road, and looking back, they can no longer see the church at all.
The houses shrouded in mist appeared and disappeared like monsters.
An idea popped into Luo Xi's mind, and she decided to test it again.
Having made up her mind, Luo Xi got up and walked in the direction where the figure had disappeared.
We arrived at another relatively tall building.
The houses in Qianhe County are mostly three or four stories high, unlike the high-rise buildings in big cities.
The fact that the building was five or six stories high piqued Luo Xi's curiosity.
As they approached the entrance, which was an old-fashioned roller shutter, Luo Xi activated her magic, destroying the shutter, and then she went inside.
It turned out to be a shopping mall. The mall was dark and quiet because the lights were off.
Luo Xi was just about to go to the snack area to get some sunflower seeds to calm her nerves when there was a commotion in the clothing section not far away.
It sounded like something had fallen.
Luo Xi cautiously approached the clothing section. Rows of metal shelves displayed shirts, dresses, and suits arranged by shades of color. Feeling a bit cold, Luo Xi casually picked up a suit and put it on.
Upon reaching the approximate location from which the sound originated, Luo Xi saw rows of models.
A mannequin was lying on the ground.
The base of the mannequin is very stable; it's impossible for it to be blown over by the wind.
Besides, she was right there in the mall; didn't she know whether there was wind or not?
It was that feeling again, as if I was deliberately drawing her in.
Just then, the mannequins began to move one after another, twisting their limbs and surrounding Luo Xi.
Luo Xi is not afraid of things with a concrete form; her magical ability to cut is specifically designed to deal with material anomalies.
The magic with cutting properties was released, and the nearest human model was directly cut into several pieces by Luo Xi.
However, the severed mannequin was still crawling on the ground, gathering towards Luo Xi.
Luo Xi's expression changed, and she hurriedly retreated.
But it was too late. Behind and in front of us, there were countless mannequins!
Luo Xi was already surrounded by moving mannequins!
