Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 1305: Who Are You
Xun Tianhai immediately felt a chilling breeze pierce through him, waking him up completely.
He raised his head abruptly and saw a shadow dragging on the ground, walking in stiffly and slowly, its legs seemingly not very nimble, staggering like an old person.
Xun Tianhai’s face darkened, and he shouted loudly, "Quick, someone is coming!"
Everyone, who was already not sleeping soundly, woke up immediately.
At the same moment, Yu Misheng, who had been awake all along, already formed a seal with his hands, activating the formation, and at the first moment, flung out a Spirit Talisman.
The shadow seemed startled to find someone here, a bit baffled, and its movements were slightly stiff.
Seeing the Spirit Talisman coming head-on, she instinctively dodged.
Yet the Spirit Talisman skimmed past her, directly smashing into the door panel.
Immediately afterward, the door panel slammed shut once more.
Simultaneously, someone switched on the room’s lights.
With a snap, the entire room was bright as day.
The shadow gazed around in terror.
Then she saw Xun Tianhai, Yu Misheng, and others, already arranged in formation, encircling her in the center.
Everyone formed a seal with their hands, chanting incantations.
Soon, a few people let out a low shout in unison, pressing their hands down, a formation appeared above the shadow’s head, descending straight down.
The shadow’s movements were very slow, and before she could react, the formation descended, transforming instantly into a net as it touched her, enveloping her entirely within.
Yu Misheng flipped his palm, and it was as if she had been kicked, with a thud, she fell to the ground, writhing in pain.
Seeing this, Yu Misheng reacted quickly, drawing his sword and placing it horizontally against her neck.
In the blink of an eye, she was subdued.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, this thing was quite easy to deal with.
As everyone relaxed, they finally had the time to look closely at the shadow.
She...didn’t seem like a human at all.
There wasn’t a trace of skin on her body, only a heap of flesh massed together, looking like a gigantic lump of meat.
When she fell, the meat on her legs scattered, dropping piece by piece to the ground, emitting a vast rotten odor, like meat that’s gone bad for a long time, exuding a nauseating stench.
She curled in pain, her body trembling violently, causing the flesh to fall bit by bit.
At this sight, she helplessly moved her fingers, as if trying to pick up the flesh and stuff it back.
But...
She was bound within the formation, unable to use her hands, her fingers being the only things she could move.
Seeing her futile efforts, she let out a sorrowful shout from her throat, as if terribly aggrieved.
Everyone, seeing this, felt chills running down their spines.
"Is this a human or a ghost?"
To say it’s a ghost, yet this shadow looked like a living person, not like a Soul Body.
But to say it’s a human...
What kind of human looks like this?
Hearing this, she looked at them with fear and anger, her body trembling even more violently, with flesh dropping off more rapidly.
Chunks of flesh fell off, exposing the eerie white bones pieced together inside.
Those bones, for her, formed a framework supporting the meat, which she used to stuff the flesh or meat mass inside, maintaining a human shape.
Seeing her human yet ghost-like appearance, everyone shuddered.
Xun Tianhai tentatively asked, "Are you He Ruomei?"
Upon hearing this, He Ruomei bared her teeth, both angry and scared, "Who, who are you, why, why are you here..."
"We are from the Xuanmen Association, invited by Wu Jianhan." Hearing this, Xun Tianhai was almost certain of He Ruomei’s identity, yet he found it hard to believe that this was indeed her.
