383: Chapter 381: The Hero Arrives 383: Chapter 381: The Hero Arrives ng Chun found it hard to imagine what these ghost story enthusiasts would do after discovering that Li iqi couldn’t even tell the simplest of ghost stories well.
“I’ll tell everyone a story about ‘The Midnight Spooky Ring.’ Once there was a woman nad Qia Yazi…”
ng Chun felt relieved.
This was a story he’d told yesterday.
As long as Li iqi could tell it completely, she should be able to get off the stage safely.
“We’ve heard that one before, tell a different one, a different one!”
But as soon as Li iqi began the story, the audience around her began to clamor dissatisfiedly, demanding she tell a different one.
Li iqi’s expression was hidden by a facial mask, but her slightly trembling body indicated that she was extrely frightened.
“Don’t, don’t rush , then…
I’ll tell you another one called ‘The Curse.’ The main character of this story is a woman from Sakura District, her na is Qia Yazi…”
This story had been told by ng Chun a few days earlier and was rich in horror elents; it should be enough to get the audience through.
“Can you do it or not?
Why do you keep telling stories we’ve already heard?
We all told different stories.
If you can’t manage that, you’ll have to accept the punishnt!” The audience’s tone beca increasingly hostile, and the color drained from so of their faces, turning a deathly pale akin to that of a corpse.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming more and more hostile, ng Chun began to fear the worst possibility.
The stories Li iqi was telling had all been heard before by these listeners, and they were all stories that ng Chun had told in this office.
This ant that when ng Chun was telling stories before, these people had been eavesdropping, only they had never revealed themselves!
Seeing that Li iqi was about to be punished by these listeners for failing to tell a story, ng Chun stood up and said, “Then, may I tell a new story in her place?”
His thought process was simple: Li iqi was the only person there he could be sure was alive, and he had an inexhaustible supply of ghost stories.
If he could save Li iqi’s life with a ghost story, it would certainly be worth it.
Li iqi was so moved she couldn’t speak.
She never expected this man she had always mocked would stand up to save her in such a situation.
Adversity reveals true character.
Perhaps this man was the one truly worth committing her life to.
The several dozens of listeners glanced at each other and then shook their heads in unison, saying, “No, each person can only tell one story!”
Their faces darkened, and they all stared at the desperate Li iqi, their refusal akin to pushing her into the Abyss!
“Then, what if I offer to tell one?”
A man in red tights jumped into the center and stood in front of Li iqi.
His huge blue cloak fluttered without any wind, making him appear unusually tall!
“Is that…
Little Dragon Knight?”
ng Chun was sowhat stunned by the sudden appearance of this character.
The bright red tights, sky-blue cape, red briefs worn on the outside, and a mask that only showed the eyes and mouth—the ensemble was incredibly tacky.
He had heard of the Little Dragon Knight, knew there was such a person in Qingchuan City who went around being a hero, upholding justice and helping the weak, but ng Chun had always regarded the ‘Little Dragon Knight’ as a jokester without serious intentions.
However, now that Little Dragon Knight stood before him, ng Chun felt that the figure was so tall, so radiant.
“Let her…
finish…
her story!”
Dozens of audience mbers stood up, all with ashen faces, looking less and less human.
At this ti, there were only ten people sitting on chairs, nine of whom were shivering; they were ng Chun’s colleagues, whom he knew to be the only real living people.
“What can you do to if I don’t let her finish her story?”
Xiong Ying said with a smile, the admiring looks from these rescued people gave him the greatest comfort and encouragent, making the life he was about to lose seem insignificant in comparison.
Knowing that he, as a ‘hero,’ could only be active for a very short ti, Xiong Ying had deliberately crafted such an ostentatious suit of battle armor and chosen a rather tacky na like Little Dragon Knight.
Xiong Ying didn’t need to look good or handso; it was enough for him if people rembered him as a hero.
This was the only bit of selfishness that Xiong Ying allowed himself after defiantly going against the wishes of his heart.
He pointed to those eerie audience mbers and said, “One, two, three…
there are a total of thirty-four problematic ones, and twelve without issues.
Do you all want to co at together for to knock down, or do you want to chase after and flatten each of you one by one?”
The audience mbers glanced at each other and tacitly began walking toward Xiong Ying.
As Xiong Ying taunted and retreated, they followed, and in this way, they left ng Chun and the other ten employees behind.
“Just wait there; don’t move around randomly.
There might be other dangers here.
Once I have dealt with them, I will lead you out,” said Xiong Ying.
This kept ng Chun and the others, who were ready to flee, obediently in the office.
Li iqi took off her mask and, hiding behind ng Chun, said, “Do you think Little Dragon Knight can defeat those monsters?”
“Of course he can; he just said that after dealing with those monsters, he would co to lead us out,” Xiong Ying reassured Li iqi, never expecting that he could win her favor.
If he could survive the night, it would be a huge gain.
“Based on Little Dragon Knight’s strength, dealing with these things should be more than enough, but after all, he is an unorthodox superpower user; he might encounter so trouble,” soone unfamiliar said.
The voice surprised ng Chun and the others, and then their faces began to change dramatically.
They counted the number of people again—there were twelve in total, and yet the number of employees working overti that night was only eleven!
So they looked at the person who had spoken in horror.
The person was draped in a large black cloak, with a twisted perverted smile hanging on his face—appearing in such a ti, he was a hundred tis more horrifying than those monsters!
This person was Wen Wen!
…
After arriving at a relatively open space, Xiong Ying pressed a button on his waist, and energetic music started playing.
“Hail at, hail at…”
To the incomprehensible yet very catchy music, Xiong Ying jumped in place and punched the face of the audience mber at the forefront.
When seeing these fellows, he knew they were not human, so he did not pull any punches.
But unexpectedly, his fist sank into that person’s face as if hitting cotton, sending the person flying.
The audience mber with the sunken face reached out and blindly felt his face, taking a while before finding his eyes.
After adjusting them back to their correct places, the figure rushed at Xiong Ying like a wild beast.
Seeing the terrifying face, Xiong Ying gasped in shock.
“What the hell are you guys, even ghosts are cuter than you!”
