Chapter 284 The First Floor Intersection
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56My spirits lifted partially when I saw the six different holes. Lin Feng often carried six throwing darts with him and each of them shaped variously. It must have been Big Sister, Lin Feng, and Chongxi who had just exited the elevator and they must have also realized the peculiarities about this place.
Naturally, Big Sister must have already realized this when I stabbed my sword through the wall. That reminded me of the movement of the elevator when they were coming up to the second floor. The elevator had to stop for a short extended moment on the second floor before coming up to the third. Then I noticed. This means that the elevator could have returned to the first floor to initiate the transition from the Real World to the Fog World... But if that's true...
Then I remembered, of all the buttons in the elevator, only "1"— the first floor—has no twin! There was only one button for "1"!
Edelweiss saw me grinning and asked, "What is it?" "The f

Jin Qichen turned a hair, shifting from terror into anger and slammed his fist into Na San's face. Only what bothered me was, Na San was allowing himself to be beaten; the poor servant even tilted his face so that his master could get a better angle. But I could not stomach such abuse. So I got up, raised a foot, and shoved it at Jin Qichen's waist, causing him to lose balance and fall.Edelweiss looked equally perturbed herself. She drew nearer to Jin Qichen and was about to reciprocate the abuse he had inflicted on Na San, but Na San loped forward and wrapped his arms around her ankles, begging between chokes and sobs, "Please, My Lady! Mercy, please! His Highness has endured a terrible ordeal! Please, no more!" "All right, all right. Let go. It's unsightly for you to be hugging my wife's legs," I muttered smilingly with a hand on his shoulder to calm him and Na San quickly released his hold.I bent down and stared at Jin Qichen, whose eyes were filled wi
Once Upon a Time Chapter 286 The Shamanic Drum
A surge of memories of that terrible battle against this former nemesis gushed out and into my head, and the ringing, cavernous echoes of his hideous cackles reminded me enough. True enough, it was the very same demonic priest who was killed by Master Six's Sash of the Stretching Rainbow!Whether it realized I had recognized it, the demonic priest gave a frightful lurch and a shudder before his appalling laughter ceased abruptly! Then before I knew it, the priest broke into different parts, just like how he had been crushed into bits and pieces right after he was strangled to death by the Sash of the Stretching Rainbow when we last fought. Very much like before, we watched blankly as blood spurted into the air like fountains and the chunks and slime of flesh and viscera plopped into the puddles of blood before more of them splotched on to the ground.And while we were still reeling with the loathsome rush of nauseousness and ghoulishness, the pieces of huma
Once Upon a Time Chapter 287 The Tenth Floor in the Fog World
"Goddammit!" Edelweiss and I swore together. The doors grew wider and only then I fully noticed how different was the tenth floor this side to the tenth floor of the real world! The scene outside the elevator doors gave way to a black, empty space. The sprawl of office cubicles that stretched far carried webs of fissures and clefts that coursed jaggedly along the broken tiles on the floor and through them, one could see what laid underneath: a deep, black chasm of nothingness. So were the walls, I realized. Craggy cracks climbed the walls like vines and the same black hole of oblivion peeked from outside. It appeared as though the entire tenth floor of the Fog World was suspended in the midst of outer space.And right outside the elevator doors, some distance away from the office floor in the middle of this Lovecraftian dimension, was a gap. That was where Na San had plunged into!Edelweiss and I shared a grave look. The gap was easily more than fifty meter
Once Upon a Time Chapter 288 The Gallery
We stood at the fork, not knowing how we should go. Should we go take the exit due left, or should I take the turn right and head for the opened door? And Na San on my shoulder was hardly the ideal companion I could rely upon for opinions. If only Chongxi is here, I began to wonder.Just when we dithered with ambivalence and doubt, a shadowy figure resembling Edelweiss appeared and vanished like a ghost into the darkened left fork. "Edelweiss!" I shouted and I dragged Na San along to give chase.We hurried through the intersection into the left way where I thought I saw Edelweiss's silhouette only to find a door after some ways. A closed door that appeared to be undisturbed and there was no one! Was I seeing things? I asked myself quietly. Then the unwieldy sense of deja vu rose in me as I recalled the many times how somebody would so easily be led astray just like I did in movies. Scoffing at my own silliness, I carried Na San back to where we came from, c
Once Upon a Time Chapter 289 The Woman in White
I doubt anyone would feel pleased to find themselves in such a snag! Not anyone sane, at any rate! There was no time to think who this woman could be and with my fingers still held in the Seal of the Sword, I beckoned for my sword and it freed itself from the ground, zipping back to me in a swift, deadly arc and stopped right at the woman's throat.Then the impossible took place. My ordinary sword hovered dangerously close to the woman, just above her shoulder. Then something strange happened to her shoulder; the white fabric of her dress fluttered awkwardly as if she was smoke and fume drifting in an unnatural wind for a brief split-second and she, her pace hardly stopping, came nearer with every step as if she had not noticed the inexplicable phenomenon! Na San stepped courageously forward, shielding me but he did nothing else. He did not know how he should react too.Seeing Na San placing himself in front of me, the woman in ancient garb shuddered again
Once Upon a Time Chapter 290 Phantoms of the Haunted Paintings
Cold sweat immediately broke out as I grimaced quietly in the dimness. Dammit!? What the hell?! That painting... the character in it is missing?! Is this the same like just now? Oh, Gods in Heaven... the characters in the paintings are...Then something flashed by my peripheral visions. I wheeled around frantically. There! Another painting, now empty too! And before I knew it, every figure in every painting around me convulsed and came to life! They moved slowly at first, as if their joints were stiff or painful, and suddenly, they leaped sideways out of view and disappeared like monsters fleeing from their two-dimensional prisons!Gods help us! I groaned to myself in the dark as my sword-hand raised warily in anticipation of an ambush, There're at least twenty portraits around here!In a mere matter of seconds, every single canvas on the wall became blank, leaving only the bare fields of colors and other backgrounds that backdropped the empty
Once Upon a Time Chapter 291 The Loathsome Mr. Huang
Na San might have been badly weakened, but he had recovered much of his consciousness then. As soon as I began to rise, he caught hold of my ankles. Just in time, Na San managed to keep me from flying away! Frowning, I leaned down, giving him my hand to pull him up. Only more sparks jumped from my outstretched hand and exploded, sending Na San careening off before falling unconscious once more.I punched my thigh in frustration. What the hell?! But there was better than this to be anguished. With a flick of my fingers, my sword heeded my summon and flew under Na San and with another flick of my Seal of the Sword, my sword grew larger again like it did before and it lifted Na San up like a hovering stretcher. What fortune, I mused, Without this spell, I would have trouble bringing Na San with me.We began walking back to the sculpture wing of the gallery where the breaking noise came from with my sword hovering beside me with Na San on it. Imagine my exhalat
Once Upon a Time Chapter 292 Heirloom Axe of Tribe Nine Li
The revelation of hit me with the flashes of the poor ghosts dissipating into nothingness just now and I lurched with incredulity. Oh, my God... those poor things... these are all kinsmen of Tribe Nine Li! What savagery is this... To forcibly mesh the Souls of Heaven and Earth of others with the Mortal Soul of another man... That's just abomination...As mentioned before, the ghosts of humans consist of three Souls and seven Spirits in Chinese esotericism and the three Souls are the Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Soul respectively. From the Mortal Soul, the seven Spirits that characterized each and everyone's personality and individualism were derived. But due to the stronger Heaven and Earth Souls forcibly meshed with the native Mortal Soul, Mr. Huang's infernal witchcraft could render his subject cold and impassive, having lost all their former personalities and behavior."That's a quaint and useful trick," I chuckled and said, "But don't you realize that your
