Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 439 - 17 Do not wander around on the day of the Ghost Festival
Wang Yunxiao didn’t know if he had entered in the wrong way.
He had come to ask Nurse Liu about the preparations for heading to the Outer Dimension tomorrow evening.
Standing at the door, he knocked for a long time without any response.
He tried the handle, found the door unlocked, and without thinking much, he pushed it open and walked in.
Normally, if a protagonist of a light novel from the second dimension were to push open a door, they would most likely receive a reward.
"Anchor failed!"
So I really don’t have the luck of a protagonist! What the hell is this?
Wang Yunxiao looked at the city ruins full of wounds before him, unable to help the twitching at the corner of his mouth.
A place both familiar and strange.
Initially, he and his buddies had been hoodwinked by Qiao Hongyi into forming a temporary squad and were teleported here to snipe the remnants of the enemy who had escaped the encirclement, only to be nearly wiped out by a counterattack right in this place.
The architectural style of the early 21st century surrounded him, with high-rise buildings all around that looked increasingly dilapidated, and the air even had a smell of gunpowder.
Not far from him, the street bore a pitch-black crater with scattered, broken remnants of something next to it.
I want to go back to sleep.
Wang Yunxiao turned around, only to see ruins behind him.
He hadn’t actually entered the clinic; he had only made a motion of sliding the door open.
Now, the clinic and the door were both gone.
This is a total mess, isn’t it?
After mixing with the folks from the Northeast for two days, Wang Yunxiao’s language had been influenced by them.
The unique vocabulary endemic to the Northeast, he had picked it up quite quickly.
For instance, "total mess," "dragging on," "get lost," "silly deer," "blind bear," "pig’s kidneys"...
I was wrong, I want to go back to sleep!
Without the Chess Herald, Wang Yunxiao wouldn’t know how to open doors himself.
After trying hard for a while and achieving nothing but strain, he could only give up.
This world was filled with deathly silence, no wind, no sounds to be heard.
Inside the building ruins, besides the traces of war, he couldn’t find any valuable clues. Even the broken signboard on the roadside had no discernible writing, as if some force had erased all the information.
Wang Yunxiao climbed to the highest building nearby and stood on the rooftop to look around.
He saw a mountain of flesh.
On a flyover a few blocks away from him lay a giant beast which was difficult to describe in words. It kind of resembled the canned braised pork he had just eaten this morning, chunks of pork belly mixed with fat piled together.
But it was completely silent, looking just like it was dead.
Should I go have a look?
Wang Yunxiao felt he really didn’t need to take this risk, but his curiosity was getting the better of him.
Besides, he didn’t have much else to do.
So he decisively descended the building and ran towards the direction of the giant beast.
Only when he got within tens of meters did he see clearly that it was a nest of flesh and blood, piled up from chunks of corpses.
The chunks of meat he had eaten this morning in his braised pork with cabbage and glass noodles were two centimeters square, whereas the chunks here were two meters square.
He could even see heads torn off and thrown aside...
Dragons.
Not Eastern Dragons, but those large, winged, fire-breathing lizards from Hollywood fantasy films.
These powerful creatures from Western mythology, that occupied the top of the ecological chain, were now reduced to someone else’s food, cut into neat chunks. The expressions of horror on their faces made it clear this experience was anything but pleasant.
The true terror was hidden within that pile of corpse chunks.
Wang Yunxiao lifted his head and saw a giant cicada wing through the gaps between the corpse pieces.
A translucent cicada wing slowly dripped with the glow of colorful auroras.
But with just one glance, the eerie light from the auroras stealthily flowed into his eyes.
Wang Yunxiao only felt a whirl of sky and earth, almost plopping down on the ground.
In his eyes, only the psychedelic colors swirling like a kaleidoscope remained, as if the rustling sound of a spring silkworm nibbling mulberry leaves echoed in his mind, gradually stripping away his sanity and thinking ability.
"Anchoring failed!"
"Anchoring failed!"
Wang Yunxiao suddenly looked down and spit out a mouthful of gray-white phosphor powder, coughing violently.
He didn’t even know when he had inhaled so much phosphor powder; it almost choked him to death.
"Don’t make a sound..."
A voice came from behind him.
Wang Yunxiao covered his mouth, turned his head to look behind at the giant dragon.
The black giant dragon that had been eaten until only half its head remained.
Even the remaining half of the head was as big as a minivan.
You’re still not dead yet?
Or has my medicine not worn off?
Wang Yunxiao hurried to a corner, desperately spitting out the remnants.
"I told you to keep it down!"
The dragon’s head opened one eye, glaring fiercely at Wang Yunxiao.
"She’s about to wake up... You’re not from the Special Service Bureau?"
"I’m not, I don’t even know how I got in."
Wang Yunxiao cleaned out the phosphor powder from his mouth, discreetly examined the dragon’s head’s condition, and whispered, "I’ve just come from the Northeast, arrived at Tianmen not two days ago. What in the world is this? Scared me to death! Senior, where are you hiding? I didn’t see you!"
"Aren’t I right in front of you!"
The black dragon said irritably.
Wang Yunxiao managed to display an appropriately frightened expression: "You... you’re like this and you can still talk? How can you speak human?"
"Mind your own business, kid. I ask you, do you want to live?"
"Yes, of course!"
"If you want to live, stop talking nonsense. You help me with one thing, and I will show you a way out. That’s a fair deal, isn’t it?"
Wang Yunxiao hesitated, "You first tell me what to do, as long as it doesn’t go against the morals of the Jianghu World..."
"Take me with you on the run!"
"Okay! But I can’t move your huge head."
"Move aside a bit."
The giant dragon squinted, watching the movements inside the flesh nest, cautiously opened his mouth, and spat out a black dragon egg the size of a winter melon.
The moment the dragon egg hit the ground, the luster in the giant dragon’s eyes also vanished.
"That’s it, let’s go now!"
The same voice came from the dragon egg.
Wang Yunxiao stared at the dragon egg without saying a word.
"What are you looking at, let’s go! If that woman wakes up, neither of us can leave!"
The dragon egg was somewhat frustrated.
"So you’re just an egg?"
"You’re the egg!"
The dragon egg trembled slightly in anger: "Wasn’t it you who said it was too big to move? I changed into this shape for you, and now you want to back out? The moral standards of the People of Ming are all just boastful talk!"
"I will definitely do what I promised."
Now that he saw it was just an egg, Wang Yunxiao was not in a hurry, "But you have to tell me clearly what is hidden inside."
"Inside is a Feathered Immortal going through transformation."
The dragon egg said with a trembling voice: "If she completes another transformation, she might truly ascend to the Immortal Ranks!"
