Chapter 835: The Heart Suffered Tremendous Damage!

"Do not look up, do not do anything, and do not disturb them."

Bai Yi, his throat seized by fear, uncharacteristically clenched his teeth and whispered a warning to the investigators nearby who had also sensed something was amiss.

Those investigators were frozen stiff as well, instinctively stopping their upward gaze and staying rooted in place.

Because Yin Qin had told him.

If there is no karmic link between you, most wandering souls will not disturb you. Moreover, many wandering souls are in a dazed state, repeating the behavioral patterns from when they were alive. Even if they are drawn to something, the odds of them developing an urge to attack are very low.

As long as you do not disturb them, they will not disturb you.

Drop by drop, cold sweat slid down Bai Yi's spine.

The hand gripping his sword trembled faintly.

But it seemed as though it had caught a whiff of the abnormal aura emanating from him.

A pallid hand.

Slowly descended from above, gently coming to rest upon his shoulder. A chilling coldness spread through him, causing Bai Yi to involuntarily shudder.

Strands of long hair slowly draped down from his forehead.

Bai Yi did not dare look up, his gaze still fixed desperately ahead, because he knew that his earlier gaze and fear had clearly attracted the attention of some wandering souls.

Slowly.

An inverted, pallid woman's face gradually came into view, reflected bit by bit from above his forehead downward before his eyes.

Staring directly into his eyes.

Bai Yi's entire heart leaped into his throat. He could even clearly see the deep, bone-revealing slash wound on the neck of the inverted "person" before him. That seemed to be her cause of death, killed by a sharp instrument cutting open her throat. This "person" who had noticed him was probably not one who had died a normal death.

But it did not seem to be a Vengeful Ghost either.

Perhaps she died by suicide, perhaps by some other means.

There was no terrifying Resentment, just a direct stare into his eyes. Then, slowly, those pallid hands reached toward his throat.

Thump, thump-

His heart inevitably pounded violently.

A drop of cold sweat slowly dripped from his chin.

His hand on the sword hilt trembled as it gripped tighter and tighter.

He had truly never experienced a situation like this. He tried his best to put himself in his Big Brother's shoes, constantly asking himself what his Big Brother would do if he were in his current predicament. If he could think like that, then he should not be afraid, and the wandering souls would not pay him any more attention.

What would Big Brother do...

Big Brother...

Then his mind instantly conjured up his Big Brother flashing a wicked, charming smile, and then cupping that face before him...

He shuddered instantly, so frightened that his whole body stumbled.

Do not conjure up images!

Stop!

This kind of thing, he had better not imitate. If he imitated it and got someone killed, that would be a complete disaster! Big Brother was not an ordinary person after all, but he was an ordinary person!

And just as he was desperately letting his imagination run wild, those pallid hands had already reached before his throat. He trembled, his body's instinctive reaction making every hair on his body stand on end. And just as he was thinking about what to do.

Suddenly.

He abruptly felt his mechanical creation move.

His heart gave a violent lurch.

Wait!

Oh no!

Could it be!

And almost at the same time before he could even react, a series of clicking sounds rang out, like triggers being pulled but without bullets (he had unloaded it), and then immediately after, a mechanical voice blared out again and again.

"Idiot, fire the gun, the Sensor was triggered!"

In an instant.

Everything around went dead silent.

Although it was wrapped in silicone and the sound was not very loud, in this abnormally quiet environment, it still rang out as loud as a thunderclap.

Bai Yi froze instantly, his entire body like a statue, his face drained of color.

And the investigators around him all shuddered as well.

It was over!

And that inverted female ghost who had been about to place her hand on his neck was also visibly halted by the appearance of the sound. Then those lifeless eyes slowly rolled upward, gazing over.

"......"

Then, under Bai Yi's trembling, stiff gaze.

Those pallid hands slowly retracted.

That inverted female ghost before him slowly slid downward vertically. She seemed to have become suspicious of his Vocalizer, shifting her inverted form bit by bit down below him, staring intently and studying that spot with fierce scrutiny.

In this moment.

Bai Yi, trembling and feeling utterly wronged, had the urge to die.

And because of that sound.

The countless wandering souls hanging upside down overhead seemed to have been drawn as well. Then, under the stiff gaze of Lynn and the investigators, one after another, they inverted their heads downward......

They clustered before Bai Yi, circling around and staring at him.

A dense thicket of heads bobbing.

In less than half a minute, a dense, packed crowd of inverted "people" had gathered before Bai Yi. Even those "people" who had been drawn by the Magic Circle all gathered over, casting their gazes toward Bai Yi.

"......"

Something was wrong.

Although the crisis did indeed seem to have been somewhat resolved.

But was the method of resolution not a bit too abnormal?

He stiffly turned his trembling head, wanting to seek help from the investigators around him. But what he saw were the investigators stiffly casting him gazes of admiration. He could even clearly see one investigator carefully sticking up a thumb from within his sleeve.

That gaze seemed to say.

Badass!

As expected of a professional Demon Hunter. Truly different from us auxiliary personnel.

Even his method of attracting wandering souls was so unique. This was clearly a big shot's level of existence.

Bai Yi trembled, wanting to cry but lacking the tears.

Fine, let them look.

It was not like he had never been stared at before!

˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ Sob sob sob!

Because most of the wandering souls drawn over by the Soul-Summoning Melody had been attracted away by Bai Yi, the anticipated interference with the Magic Circle did not occur, and the operation of the Magic Circle became unprecedentedly smooth.

The tone of the Soul-Summoning Melody became even more ethereal and profound.

Yin Qin closed her eyes, softly chanting.

And the broken corpse before her slowly opened its shattered eyes. It opened its mouth and emitted a low, soft chant matching the melody of Yin Qin.

Zzzzt, zzzzt, zzzzt-

That corpse slowly sat up, hollowly adopting the same seated posture as Yin Qin, emitting the tones of the dead.
