MMB Chapter 171 The Emperor's Pardon!
Chapter 171 The Emperor's Pardon!
Early morning, Nanhai City, No. 24 Middle School.
The empty teaching building was deathly silent.
"Step...step...step..."
A thin young man, dressed in a green suit and with bizarre makeup on his face, staggered around here.
The moonlight from outside the window shone into the corridor and fell on him, casting hundreds of shadows!
Those shadows struggled and wailed silently.
That young man was the...moving soul-piercing stake that bound those shadows!
Horrifying, eerie...
A hint of apprehension lurked beneath his bizarrely made-up face.
Relying on his ability to "shrink the earth into an inch," he was able to hide in various corners of the campus and observe secretly within just one hour.
The seven have been discovered, and their acts of violence have been witnessed.
Within twenty minutes, the Seven had killed three people.
They are located in the office building, the canteen, and the teachers' dormitory, respectively.
It will attack any human it encounters, killing them with its sinister dark power.
That kind of power was something I absolutely could not resist.
Yang Xiao also figured out several patterns in the Seven's killing methods.
First, the seven moved slowly, just like normal humans.
However, if it encounters "prey," its speed is incomprehensible, and even the "shrinking the earth to an inch" technique cannot track it.
Hmm... it's like the speed of light, almost like 'space jump'.
Secondly, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were incredibly powerful, so powerful that they were driven to despair.
However, the Seven Musketeers need to perform a simple ritual when they kill someone.
The person will only be eliminated after the ritual is completed.
Third, and most importantly.
Yang Xiao realized that there was a pattern to the killings committed by the Seven.
They weren't moving around randomly or killing people indiscriminately; they were moving clockwise within the campus.
The teaching building seems to be the 'center point'.
......
Yang Xiao stopped in the dance practice room.
He didn't come here by accident.
If the seven really did move clockwise around the school building and commit their crimes...
That school building must be where the Seven Musketeers first committed murder.
After entering the teaching building, Yang Xiao followed a person's scent all the way to the dance practice room.
Strangely, once they arrived at the dance studio, the person's scent disappeared.
He peered inside, his eyes filled with doubt, and sniffed again:
"It doesn't even have the smell of a shadow."
Why didn't the victim even leave behind a fragment of his shadow?
A shadow is the vessel of the soul; even if the soul is scattered, the presence of a shadow should still linger.
Yang Xiao stood at the door, arms crossed, rubbing his chin, muttering to himself:
"It seems that the other party's actions were not just about killing people."
Does "purification" mean completely erasing a person's body and soul?
Yang Xiao pondered for a moment before walking into the dance studio.
As soon as I stepped inside, I felt a chill run down my spine.
The hair on my back stood on end, goosebumps rose on my arms, and the shadows at my feet stopped struggling and howling.
Yang Xiao felt cold sweat trickling down his temples as he slowly turned his head back.
When he turned around, he was terrified!
Seven silent men in black robes stood at the entrance!
Yang Xiao swallowed hard, trying his best to appear friendly:
"What are you doing here after school instead of going home?"
Seven men in black robes strolled toward him.
They looked like seven ghosts walking in the darkness.
Yang Xiao slapped his forehead:
"Look how stupid I am. Dressed like that, you must be dance trainees from school, not cosplay, right?"
You're really hardworking, practicing dance so late. I'll write to your teacher to praise you.
"Then I'll be going. I won't bother you anymore."
As Yang Xiao spoke, she walked toward the window of the dance studio.
He turned around and saw the seven men following him at a leisurely pace.
Yang Xiao feigned anger and said:
"Oh, don't bother seeing me out, don't bother, why are you being so polite?"
After Yang Xiao finished speaking, he made a hand seal with one hand and suddenly rushed towards the window of the dance practice room.
[Shrinking the Earth to an Inch] activated!
Yang Xiao smashed through the window in an instant and glanced back at the seven men.
The seven had already walked to the window and were looking at themselves indifferently.
Yang Xiao made another hand seal in mid-air, and his figure instantly disappeared into the air, speeding towards the outside of the school.
The seven men all took a step forward.
The next second, they appeared at the school gate, standing in mid-air behind Yang Xiao.
One of the men in black robes put his hand on Yang Xiao's shoulder.
.....
Dance practice room.
A shadow slid down from the door frame and landed on the floor.
The shadow rose from the ground, gradually becoming three-dimensional, its eyes filled with mockery and disdain:
"Even though we were moving clockwise, we somehow ended up coming back to this classroom."
This classroom is where you first committed murder... Hehehehe... Is this place that important?
Where exactly are your true forms? It's so hard to guess!
Judging from the outline, it looks very similar to Yang Xiao.
This is Yang Xiao's shadow.
Yang Xiao was rummaging through the dance studio.
Anything suspicious could be the true form of the Seven, or it could be that forbidden object.
He muttered to himself as he searched:
"I have hundreds of shadows; you will slowly purify them."
I traded my physical body for yours—I got a good deal!
Yang Xiao knew.
My physical body will definitely be eliminated by the Seven Ninja.
Yang Xiao knew.
My physical body will definitely be eliminated by the Seven Ninja.
However, they don't kill quickly; they don't simply slit the throat with a knife.
The brief ceremony they held was their only chance to find and defeat the Seven Warriors.
Anyway, we won't lose money.
As long as he has a shadow left, he can possess the corpse again and make a comeback.
However, the dance studio was a complete mess.
Yang Xiao cursed under his breath:
"Women are troublesome, and the places women have been are troublesome enough!"
Then I noticed the inconspicuous stick in the corner.
Yang Xiao smiled and walked over.
"You're the ugliest thing here, the least womanly thing."
He grabbed the stick.
Suddenly, Yang Xiao's pupils contracted sharply!
He felt that the moment he touched the stick, his physical body was swiftly erased.
Yang Xiao turned around abruptly, his eyes instantly filled with fear.
His eyes trembled:
"No, I didn't expect you to have a fourth rule."
If the main body is threatened, it will accelerate the killing ritual and return to the main body's side.
In the blink of an eye, the seven-man group arrived in front of Yang Xiao.
They circled around Yang Xiao, and one by one, the men in black robes reached out their hands to Yang Xiao, performing a brief but bizarre ceremony.
One of the men in black robes spoke in a hoarse, sinister voice:
"fury....."
The next second, a substantial, viscous darkness overflowed from the black-robed man, enveloping Yang Xiao...
Yang Xiao stared wide-eyed in fear:
"I...I'm going to be purified too, sir..."
Yang Xiao is not afraid of death.
His physical form was reflected on Jiang Chaosheng's wrist.
However, since his physical body has already been erased, it would be terrible if the last shadow besides his original body were also erased.
Because in order to continue to have the ability to move, the original body's shadow needs to possess another body.
In this way, the original shadow must leave Jiang Chaosheng.
If his physical body and shadow were to leave Jiang Chaosheng, he would lose his means of immortality.
Just as Yang Xiao was completely enveloped in darkness, a golden character for "pardon" shot out from one of the men in black robes.
The man in black robes had recently purified the evil crow.
The golden character for "pardon" emitted an extremely powerful divine light, which actually dispelled the darkness!
The seven men in black robes could not look directly at the character "赦" (pardon) that was radiating golden divine light, and they all lowered their heads.
It's like... paying homage, offering the highest respect to the word "pardon"!
They are clearly the resentment of the Son of God, the curse of the Western God.
Even angels must bow to these mindless curses.
However, they treated the word "pardon" with the utmost respect!
Yang Xiao was still in shock and stared in horror at the scene, but he dared not delay. Taking advantage of the unusual behavior of the seven men in black robes, he quickly fled the place.
Ten minutes later, the seven raised their heads, slowly walked out of the classroom, and searched for their next prey.
......
One hour ago...
The evil crow struggled desperately in the darkness.
However, it could not resist this force that resembled a rule, no matter what.
Finally, the evil raven was swallowed into the black-robed man's body.
In the boundless darkness, the evil crow suddenly discovered something terrifying.
This darkness is a door!
Or rather, it's something like a teleportation array.
Darkness is like a flushing toilet, leading me into another world!
"No wonder the Seven Musketeers were able to erase human bodies and souls from the world together!"
Where are you taking me?
hell?
No, it's rumored that the Western Paradise and Hell are at odds, and even the Western God wouldn't issue a curse related to Hell!
The raven's eyes were filled with fear.
It's not just the fear of the unknown.
It also saw its own feathers, its own flesh and blood, its own bones being drawn away by the darkness and transported to another world!
Now, all that remains of it is its blue soul.
Suddenly, from the depths of my soul, a word 'pardon' radiating divine light shot out!
The darkness ceased transmitting the evil crows.
The darkness was thick and sticky, like a swamp, trapping the evil raven's soul firmly in the boundless darkness.
The evil crow regained some of its senses and stared intently at the word "pardon".
Four large characters appeared in Xie Ya's mind.
The Emperor's Edict of Pardon!
