"Did I say I was all alone?"
As Old Li finished speaking, a series of hushed, sinister laughs suddenly echoed through the hall.
wipe!
The curator and the night watchman broke out in a cold sweat.
These vengeful spirits all hold a grudge against them!
Although most people's deaths are unrelated to themselves, it is a real fact that they removed organs from others without their consent, leaving them without a complete body.
"Old Li! You think you can get away with this mess of monsters and demons? Just because I became the curator, doesn't mean I have no trump cards left!"
"True card?"
Old Li shook his head and chuckled coldly a few times.
"Heh, maybe there was something before last night, but...didn't you just go to the main warehouse? You should know better than me whether you have the trump card or not, right?"
Woj
Upon hearing this, the curator swayed, never expecting that Old Li would be so cunning.
"You destroyed that secret passage?!"
"Yes!"
Bao Lebin readily admitted it, and also stated that he had contacted these spirit entities the night before.
Just for this moment.
Unexpectedly, this cunning old man actually seized the opportunity.
Too cautious!
Bao Lebin was unaware of the collaboration between Spider-Man and the funeral home; otherwise, the passageway wouldn't have needed to be destroyed.
"Wow, what a well-hidden mechanism! It took me ages to find it. Several times I felt like I was about to be caught, but you two didn't show up all night, giving me so much time to work around."
Old Li confessed that he was the one who transported all the remaining corpses from the large warehouse out through the secret passage, in order to disrupt the territory and achieve cooperation with them.
"I didn't expect that breaking the domain wouldn't help. I stayed in the dormitory for so long without hearing any noise outside. When I came out to check, wow, a peach wood sword blocked them all outside."
At this point, Old Li couldn't help but smile.
He even felt that God was on his side!
If even one person had been left behind in the main storeroom, he wouldn't have had a chance to retrieve the peach wood sword, allowing these things to easily infiltrate the storeroom.
Interlocking
If any one link in the chain had gone wrong, the curator wouldn't have been in such a desperate situation.
What amazing perseverance!
Given Lao Li's actions, even if Spider-Man were still alive, let alone already dead, he wouldn't be able to get help anytime soon in this completely sealed passage.
"Heaven has eyes! Jiang Xiao, you really are my lucky star, truly~"
It's clear that Lao Li is very satisfied with the arrival of Jiang Xiao, the new employee; he sees Jiang Xiao as his chosen one.
correct!
still have a chance!
The curator and the night watchman's eyes were fixed on Jiang Xiao.
And this kid? He's capable of taking down Spider-Man single-handedly. As long as Jiang Xiao is willing to help, getting through tonight's life-or-death ordeal won't be a problem.
"Jiang Xiao! Now that Old Li is cooperating with these strange people, he wants to kill us all. Why don't we work together and create a glimmer of hope for survival?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiao directly refused.
"I'm sorry, we have different paths, we can't work together."
what?
He first rejected Lao Li's advice, and then he refused the curator's cooperation. What was he planning to do?
"What I want is simple, Bao Lebin, you brat, hurry up and give me back the peach wood sword, I don't want to beat you up."
Old Li:
"Jiang Xiao, once I've settled my score with those two beasts, I'll return it to you, how about that?"
He didn't want to fall out with this man who was so powerful it was almost uncanny.
After thinking about it, Jiang Xiao felt it was a good idea, since there was no rush to get the peach wood sword back anyway.
The curator thought, "That won't do!" when he saw that Jiang Xiao was so easy to talk to.
"Brother! This kid is definitely lying to you! He says he'll return it to you? What if he doesn't keep his word? What if he runs away after he's dealt with us? What if he'd rather die than return the peach wood sword to you?"
After being brainwashed by the curator, Jiang Xiao thought it over carefully and decided that it would be safer to get the peach wood sword first.
Ah this
Old Li hesitated, worried that if he returned the peach wood sword to Jiang Xiao, Jiang Xiao would start killing the strange creatures wandering around them.
You see, these strange occurrences are key to his control over the Curator and the Night Watch.
"No, no, no! Jiang Xiao, he's hesitating. It's obvious he has something to hide. Why don't we cooperate?"
Tsk!
"Jiang Xiao! I'll return it to you, and you can guarantee you'll never interfere in my feud with those two, how about it!"
Jiang Xiao nodded, indicating that it was okay, since he wasn't very familiar with these three guys anyway.
"I promise you, I can even guarantee with Wang Dayong's life, that I will absolutely not interfere."
Chapter 372 Clearance
He turned around and went to the sofa, lifted the floorboards underneath, took out the peach wood sword, and threw it to Jiang Xiao.
"Brother, I hope you keep your word!"
"Natural~"
Jiang Xiao readily agreed.
As everyone knows, he is not a person who likes to fight.
He wasn't very bright, but he could tell that neither side was any good. Such a dogfighting show was too good to pass up.
Jiang Xiao gripped the peach wood sword tightly, his eyes indifferent and ruthless.
He adopted the attitude of a bystander.
Old Li acted swiftly and decisively. He took out a sharp machete from the shadows. He had been sharpening this machete for six years, all for this day!
Old Li, standing with his knife in hand, glared fiercely at the curator and the night watchman, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.
"Are you ready?"
Old Li asked in a low voice, his tone revealing an undeniable determination.
The ghostly figures in the hall began to dance, as if telling everyone about their joyful mood.
Jiang Xiao could clearly feel the eerie aura behind him growing stronger.
"Hmm, that's interesting, but it's not as oppressive as the atmosphere on Sunset Mountain."
The ghostly figures that were originally hidden in the shadows slowly emerged, their bodies twisted and their eyes gleaming with hunger.
The curator and the night watchman looked tense, clearly aware of the gravity of the situation.
The curator gritted his teeth and pulled a dark amulet from his pocket, while the Night Watchman gripped his iron rod tightly. The two stood back to back, as if awaiting their final judgment.
Old Li launched the first attack, brandishing his machete and charging at the Night's Watch like an angry lion.
The Night's Watchman swung his iron bar and charged forward; their weapons clashed in mid-air, producing a piercing metallic clang.
Both of them had the same idea: to take down the stronger one on the other side first!
"Heh, what makes you think you can fight me, you lowly sweeper?"
"A mere floor sweeper? Heh, you had no idea how many days and nights I practiced so hard!"
The two were evenly matched, neither willing to give in.
The other ghostly figures headed straight for the curator.
A flicker of panic crossed the curator's eyes. He waved his amulet, chanting incantations, attempting to use some kind of secret technique to defend against the ghostly attack.
After all, he worked at a funeral home, so his fighting skills might not be as good as everyone else's, but he had always thought of ways to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits.
Just then, those bizarre creatures bleeding from all seven orifices joined the battle.
They pounced on the curator and the night watchmen like hungry wolves, bringing with them a stench and a chilling aura of death.
The curator and the night watchmen were caught in a fierce battle, facing attacks from three sides: Old Li, the eerie creatures, and the unknown ghosts.
Among them was the little girl that Jiang Xiao had seen before.
The little girl glanced at Jiang Xiao with a slightly apologetic expression.
