Chapter 300 Damn it! A madman! A madman!
The night wind poured in from the mouth of the alley, causing the withered vines on the wall to rustle.
Beyond that… there was also a female voice, thin and intermittent, singing in an old-fashioned operatic style.
The words were enunciated slowly, each trailing note drawn out endlessly, drifting eerily through the deserted alley.
"?" The three women widened their eyes simultaneously. "Is this… opera?!! But who would be singing opera in the Amusement Park???"
Chen Yu shook his head, and just as he was about to take a step forward, Yang Kexin stopped him!
Yang Kexin's voice trembled. "Brother Yu… can we not go over there? I remember the rules stated not to approach the Haunted House at night, and we're right at the entrance of the Haunted House now…"
Clearly, when it came to dealing with ghosts, Yang Kexin was the most timid of the three girls.
Chen Yu gripped Yang Kexin's hand; it was ice-cold, yet he still shook his head. "Some things must be done."
Yang Kexin pursed her lips. "Then… then alright… could you keep holding my hand…?"
Chen Yu felt a bit helpless, but he agreed to the request nonetheless.
The four of them followed the sound, and soon, not far from the Haunted House, they discovered a stage.
The stage was small, constructed of wood, with one corner of its roof collapsed. The red curtain had faded to a dull pink and swayed gently in the wind, while a lantern hung on each side of the stage, long since extinguished.
The stage was empty.
The curtain continued to flutter and the lanterns swung, but there was no one there.
As for the intermittent singing that had been heard just moments ago, it had vanished completely, though they didn't know when.
"Chen… Brother Yu…" Yang Kexin's hand was sweating. "Let's leave quickly. Staying here… there's always this strange feeling, it makes my whole body feel uncomfortable…"
Wang Mengmeng nodded repeatedly. "I've got goosebumps all over too. Who on earth was singing just now?"
Zuo Shi gritted her teeth, summoned her courage, and walked over.
It had been a long time since she last used her Talent, and the cooldown had already expired.
She took a deep breath and touched her fingers to the stage floor… This time, she didn't even dare to place her whole palm on it, which showed just how panicked she was.
Only the sound of the wind and the heavy breathing of the group remained.
When Zuo Shi opened her eyes again, her expression changed. "This Amusement Park… this Amusement Park…"
She was clearly panicked, stumbling as she retreated.
Chen Yu reached out to steady her. "It's alright, tell me slowly. What information did you see?"
Zuo Shi's pupils trembled, but she spoke quickly. "This stage was built by a Feng Shui master, originally to suppress a mass grave. They were supposed to perform on opening day, but…"
Chen Yu pressed, "But what?"
Zuo Shi bit her lip. "The night before the opening, after the rehearsal, the twelve members of the opera troupe hanged themselves on the stage."
"Whoosh…" A cold wind blew by, causing Wang Mengmeng and Yang Kexin to hug each other.
A short, chilling horror story.
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. "Hanged themselves on the stage?"
He had originally thought this was just an ordinary Amusement Park mission. But because a hidden mission had been triggered, the singing voice had become increasingly mysterious and puzzling.
Chen Yu stared behind the stage, where there was a passageway… It was likely the backstage, the place where the opera troupe would normally change clothes and props.
Seeing Chen Yu's gaze, the three women were instantly paralyzed with dread.
"Brother Yu!"
"Are we really going in?!"
Chen Yu pondered for a moment and decided to play it safe for now; he wouldn't go in just yet.
After all, if he went in now, the three women wouldn't be able to handle themselves. Their combat strength was too weak; if they encountered any monsters or other teams, they might not be able to resist.
It would be better to wait until they had gathered more information before heading to the backstage.
Just then… several figures emerged from the darkness onto the gravel path.
The person walking at the front was the Skinny Tall Guy, sporting dreadlocks and wearing a gold chain, his body swaying non-stop.
"Yo, friends, what are you doing strolling around in the middle of the night?" The voice drifted from the darkness; it was Flyer.
Along with his team. The redhead who had been playing music during the day was currently carrying the speaker, but no music was playing.
They stopped a few steps away and stared at the stage for a long time.
Flyer murmured, "Chasing the sound, we ran fast, from the bumper cars all the way to this spot~"
Wang Mengmeng rolled her eyes. "Why is it them again…"
Yang Kexin whispered, "But Mengmeng, compared to that opera singing from just now, I'd rather listen to his rap." The operatic singing from earlier had truly left her traumatized.
Watching Flyer and his group, Chen Yu suddenly revealed a smile. It seemed he now had a chance to enter the backstage…
Flyer sensed something, turned his head, and frowned. "What are you smiling at? Is my singing not good?"
Chen Yu didn't answer. The ghost head blade had already fallen into his palm; the black ribbon on the hilt fluttered without any wind, and the purple patterns on the blade shone eerily in the moonlight!
Flyer's pupils constricted!
The next second!
"Bang!" Chen Yu had already taken a step forward, leaving only an afterimage behind! The bricks beneath his feet flew into the air!
This scene was extremely abrupt… Wang Mengmeng, Yang Kexin, and Zuo Shi hadn't expected this at all!
"Brother Yu!"
"Holy…"
"What's going on?"
The three women widened their eyes, watching as Chen Yu moved at full speed, charging toward the rap team!
"????"
"F*ck! Are you crazy?!"
Flyer cursed under his breath, reacting extremely quickly. He retreated violently, lowered his center of gravity, and prepared to flee!
He wasn't afraid! It was just that his Talent required time; his Talent was heavily dependent on the speed of his rapping!
"My body is robust, facing a machete, I won't panic!"
"My fists are violent, punching through steel plates like a cannon!"
Rapping rapidly, he had just finished reciting these two lines when the muscles in his forearms suddenly bulged, his veins popped, and the bones inside suddenly thickened.
That wasn't enough… Sweat began to bead on Flyer's forehead. "My speed is like lightning, I can see your slash coming! My reflexes are like a ghost, I'll retreat before you draw your blade!"
"I…" He didn't even have time to finish the last line before Chen Yu slashed down with his blade!
Die! Die! Die!
A massive intent of death enveloped Flyer!
He instantly sensed something was terribly wrong. This damn… this was definitely not the kind of pressure someone below S-rank could exert!
"Damn it! A madman, he's a madman!" Flyer screamed, and he immediately activated the golden body card in his hand!
Chen Yu's blade hacked into the gravel ground, blasting open a half-meter-long crack as gravel flew everywhere!
"Boom!" Two seconds later, Flyer had already appeared in the distance!
"I didn't f*cking provoke you or mess with you, are you sick in the head!!!"
Flyer's expression was ugly as he looked at the terrifying crack on the ground, feeling increasingly shocked.
If it hadn't been for the golden body card just now, he probably would have already died under that blade!
How could someone be this insane? Attacking him the moment they met?
Although he usually rapped like a buzzing fly, he couldn't help it! His Talent required it!
But that shouldn't be enough to make people hold a grudge, right?!
