Chapter 230 Theme Competition: Fortune Apartment (5)
Gu Shijiu watched the group leave, clenching her fists in secret. She turned around, her gaze fixed intently on the gradually solidifying humanoid silhouette.
The black mist emanating from the ghost resembled a churning dark cloud, interspersed with faint, mournful cries, as it coiled towards Gu Shijiu.
An invisible malice, like a surging tide, crashed against her mental defenses wave after wave, trying to drag her into the abyss.
Gu Shijiu had never encountered such an attack before and was at a loss for how to respond.
I had no choice but to extend my right hand and try to absorb its energy directly as before.
Just as Gu Shijiu was about to approach the ghost, the black mist suddenly surged wildly, transforming into countless sharp black tentacles that stabbed towards her face.
Gu Shijiu was startled and quickly dodged to the side, but a few wisps of mist still brushed past her cheek.
She felt a chill run through her, and then terrifying images flashed through her mind.
Bloody scenes and distorted faces appear alternately, and negative emotions—fear, despair, and helplessness—surge like a tide, attempting to break her will.
Gu Shijiu's eyes began to glaze over, her steps slowed unconsciously, and her body swayed slightly.
She was momentarily dazed by this sudden mental pollution.
But just moments later, she bit her tongue hard, and the stinging sensation instantly brought her back to her senses.
The ghost seemed to have noticed this as well, and it increased its output of black mist, almost completely shrouding the room in darkness.
The sounds from within the fog grew increasingly eerie and chilling.
Gu Shijiu gripped the baseball bat that he had never let go of with him, raised it high, and slammed it down hard on the ghost.
The baseball bat whistled through the air and landed heavily on the ghost's illusory body.
With a muffled "bang," although the attack seemed to have missed its target, the extremely powerful physical attack still caused damage to the ghost.
Its mental fluctuations became slightly disordered, and a hint of surprise and anger flashed in its eerie green eyes.
Gu Shijiu was overjoyed, realizing that the ghost was not entirely untouchable; as long as he continued to attack, he might be able to defeat it.
The baseball bat slammed into the ghost again and again, each attack landing precisely on the ghost with a dull thud.
The ghost seemed to be enraged by Gu Shijiu's attack. It manipulated the black mist, transforming it into various shapes in an attempt to block Gu Shijiu's attack.
Sometimes it was sharp claws, sometimes it was huge fists, but Gu Shijiu skillfully dodged and weaved, avoiding these attacks with her agile movements.
Meanwhile, he kept searching for the monster's weaknesses, his baseball bat never stopping.
During the fierce battle, Gu Shijiu gradually discovered that the monster reacted most violently when she attacked its head.
So she adjusted her strategy and focused her attack on the monster's head.
With all her might, she slammed the baseball bat into the monster's head again and again.
The ghost seemed to realize Gu Shijiu's intentions and tried desperately to dodge, but it was still hit several times because Gu Shijiu's attacks were too swift.
Each time it was hit, the ghost's body would tremble slightly, and the black mist would become briefly chaotic.
However, as the battle continued, Gu Shijiu's strength gradually ran out.
Her breathing became rapid, her arms began to ache, and the speed and force of her attacks decreased.
The ghost seemed to sense Gu Shijiu's exhaustion, and seized the opportunity to launch another fierce mental attack.
The black mist, like a black torrent, swept towards Gu Shijiu, completely enveloping her.
Gu Shijiu felt as if everything went black before her eyes, and her ears were filled with all sorts of terrifying sounds, as negative emotions surged up.
However, having learned from her previous experience, she was not greatly affected this time, and her subordinates' attacks became even more ferocious.
The ghosts seemed to sense the danger as well; in the past, no one who had entered had been unafraid of mental attacks.
This human is really strange.
Unfortunately, ghosts have no physical form, and Gu Shijiu is not afraid of contamination, so it has no way to launch an effective attack.
After a fierce battle, the monster's body began to become somewhat ethereal.
Knowing it was no match for Gu Shijiu, it let out a silent roar, turned into a black streak of light, and fled to other rooms.
Gu Shijiu looked in the direction the ghost had fled but did not chase after it.
She put down the baseball bat, let out a long sigh, and collapsed to the ground as if all her strength had been drained.
After a while, Gu Shijiu recovered, stood up, dusted herself off, and prepared to go find Shi Qi and the others.
She slowly walked back along the path she had come from.
As she walked, Gu Shijiu suddenly heard a soft footstep.
She immediately stopped, gripped the baseball bat tightly, and looked around warily.
A figure slowly emerged from around the corner. Gu Shijiu looked closely and realized it was Shi Qi.
"Are you alright?" Shi Qi jogged over, her face showing concern.
Gu Shijiu twitched her nose, but didn't say anything, her grip on the baseball bat tightening slightly.
Shi Qi stopped and reached out to pull her.
"I dropped off Zhang Cheng and Qi Hui and came to find you. Come on, I'll take you to meet up with them."
I had to hurry. I was afraid something might have changed in the room near the door, so I didn't dare close it. What if someone else came in and closed it? Then it would be hard to find.
Gu Shijiu snorted coldly: "You're not closing the door because you can't close it at all, are you?"
Shi Qi never expected to be exposed so easily. A strange smile gradually appeared on her face, growing wider and wider until it became twisted and ferocious.
"Little girl, you have a pretty good nose."
His body also began to undergo drastic changes, with several large blood vessels extending from his forearm.
"That's because you don't know how smelly you are." Gu Shijiu covered her nose. "Shi Qi doesn't smell like that."
The monster roared, its veins bulging on its arms, the blood vessels throbbing and twisting like living things, rapidly spreading towards Gu Shijiu.
Seeing this, Gu Shijiu dodged to the side with agile and light movements, easily avoiding the attack on the blood vessels.
At the same time, she slammed the baseball bat in her hand down hard on the bulging veins on the monster's arm.
The baseball bat slammed solidly into the monster's arm with a dull thud.
The monster winced in pain, its arm trembled slightly, and the spreading of blood vessels paused briefly;
But he did not back down; instead, he was enraged and became even more frenzied.
After a brief pause, the monster opened its gaping maw and spewed out a stream of tangled blood vessels that swept towards Gu Shijiu.
Gu Shijiu calmly held the baseball bat horizontally in front of him and smashed it down on the blood vessels.
The monster tried to escape, but it was too late.
"Ah!" The monster let out a scream, its body swayed a few times, and its blood vessels suddenly retracted.
But he was still unwilling to accept defeat and struggled to launch another attack.
This time, the blood vessels in her legs began to swell and extend, like countless black snakes, rapidly crawling towards Gu Shijiu.
Gu Shijiu's eyes narrowed, and he swung the baseball bat in his hand rapidly, severing blood vessels wherever it went.
Then, without giving the monster a chance to breathe, she moved like lightning, constantly weaving around it, her baseball bat repeatedly striking its vital points.
Each attack was accompanied by the monster's painful screams.
After a fierce battle, the monster's body had become extremely weak, with countless blood vessels drooping limply behind it.
It collapsed to the ground, its body trembling uncontrollably.
With a piercing scream, the monster died under Gu Shijiu's baseball bat.
We need to find Shi Qi and the others quickly, or we'll be in trouble if the ghosts and monsters encounter them first.
But how do I find it?
Gu Shijiu sniffed the air, but couldn't smell it through the door.
Meanwhile, Shi Qi, along with Zhang Cheng and Qi Hui, finally escaped the biting cold and hid in a room they had never been to before.
I wonder if Gu Shijiu can handle that seemingly powerful guy.
Shi Qi frowned, staring at Zhang Cheng's face in thought.
Zhang Cheng felt very uncomfortable being stared at: "What's on my face?"
"By the way, can the markings you and Jiang Jiadong made in the hallway be used here?" Shi Qi asked, rubbing her chin.
Qi Hui suddenly looked up: "That's right, how come we didn't think of that—"
