Chapter 281: Chapter 253: Red Coffin (Conclusion) (6000 words)_2
Yan Junze’s voice suddenly reached her ears, although it was very vague and quiet, Zhang Xiaomo had a unique ability to distinguish Yan Junze’s voice.
She was slightly startled and hurriedly widened her eyes, straining to look down, but she couldn’t find anything.
Behind Zhang Xiaomo, about two ters away in the water, the current suddenly surged, and a large clump of black hair appeared in the water.
The hair seed to have a life of its own; after erging, it eerily drifted towards Zhang Xiaomo. The hair moved gently with the water, approaching Zhang Xiaomo’s legs like a jellyfish.
At this mont, Zhang Xiaomo was twisting her head, searching the inside of the coffin for the source of Yan Junze’s voice.
After realizing she still couldn’t see anything, she simply called out loudly like Yan Junze, “Yan Junze, where are you? I can hear your voice, but I can’t see…”
Before she could finish saying “see you,” Zhang Xiaomo suddenly felt a tightness around her right foot in the water, as if sothing had entangled it, and then a great force yanked her out abruptly.
Her head dropped back into the water, and because of panic and the sudden event, she had only held her breath halfway, not nearly enough to last.
Zhang Xiaomo fiercely turned to look down at her feet and was horrified to find that a large clump of black hair had wound around her right foot and was moving to entangle her left foot, as if it were alive.
At that mont, a mory she had long forgotten burst forth in her mind.
Just then, Zhang Xiaomo finally realized that the fear she had thought was of drowning wasn’t actually from the fear of drowning, but from a very long ti ago, when she was in junior high school, she had witnessed a female corpse being retrieved from a pond by responding safety officers on her way ho from school.
Because she had stumbled upon the scene abruptly and fear instinctively overtook her, Zhang Xiaomo hadn’t taken a close look at the bloated corpse; she only saw the black long hair of the floating corpse from a distance, an abundance of black hair.
The ti had passed, and although she hadn’t seen the true face of the floating corpse, that mass of black hair still left an indelible mark of fear in Zhang Xiaomo’s mory.
And at this mont, the black hair floating in the water before her eyes exactly resembled the hair of the floating corpse she had tried to forget.
A surge of dread filled her heart, and Zhang Xiaomo imdiately kicked her legs, but couldn’t shake off the mass of hair.
She swung her magnetic knife at the hair around her feet without hesitation, and with the addition of magnetic force, a streak of blue light appeared around the blade of the knife, causing the water to part slightly to the sides, and a clump of hair was severed.
However, at the sa ti, even more hair entangled both of her feet.
Zhang Xiaomo’s panic reached a peak, and despite kicking forcefully, she could no longer break free; the breath she had hastily held was already spent, and at that mont, with slightly parted lips, she involuntarily gulped down a mouthful of water.
The water rushed into her lungs quickly, her head buzzed, and she nearly blanked out.
After the initial breath escaped, the second, third… several gulps of water rushed into her lungs without exception. The hair still wound around her feet, and Zhang Xiaomo no longer showed any signs of struggling.
Her arms spread open, she floated in the water.
The next second, the Super-Energy Burst Hidden Buckle clenched in her right hand exploded with a bang.
The powerful blast from the explosion swept up all the water around her body, and soon pushed everything outwards with a trendous force, including the Red Coffin that had been resting on the ground, making a whooshing sound as it moved several ters to a corner…
Inside the coffin, the space rippled and shook at that mont.
In the darkness, Yan Junze had just heard Zhang Xiaomo’s reply a mont ago, and was initially relieved in his heart, thinking this tactic really worked, when no more sounds ca through.
He called out a few tis, feeling fortunate that no strangeness appeared in the dark during this ti: no cat-faced old lady, no bull-headed strangeness, nor little girl’s hand grabbing at his ankle.
After calling out a few tis, he felt a vibration, as if it were right above his head not far away, but for the mont he could not pinpoint the exact location.
Yan Junze was stunned, and imdiately exclaid, “Not good!”
This sense of vibration, if it wasn’t caused by Zhang Xiaomo triggering a Super-Energy Burst, he couldn’t think of anything else that could make such a big commotion.
Rewind!
Without any hesitation, Yan Junze rewound ti to the mont he was about to call out to Zhang Xiaomo for the first ti.
Based on the direction from which Zhang Xiaomo had responded before the rewind, Yan Junze roughly pinpointed the direction and twisted his head to say to the strange man beside him, “Follow , let’s crawl fifteen ters towards the front right.”
They quickly crawled over, and without wasting any ti, Yan Junze looked up and shouted, “Zhang Xiaomo, can you hear ?”
Zhang Xiaomo’s voice ca from a spot roughly two to three ters askew from above Yan Junze’s head.
“Yeah, I can hear you, where are…”
The words were cut off abruptly.
“Zhang Xiaomo?” Yan Junze imdiately spoke up, a sense of ominous foreboding enveloping him.
According to his timing, the other party should also have stopped responding at that mont, and just before the last rewind, Zhang Xiaomo had clearly triggered a Super-Energy Burst.
Yan Junze guessed that she must have encountered danger outside.
Rewind again!
After this rewind, Yan Junze imdiately had the strange man beside him carry the Exorcist and follow him to the previously determined direction.
