167: Chapter 167: The Black Cat's Blessing (Part 8)

"Still looking!"

"You really never learn."

Meng Yu shook her head, pulling the person back in a gesture of exasperation.

At this moment, tears were streaming down her face.

She had to cry again to resist the temptation within the oil paintings.

Behind her, Tai You and Blue Shadow showed no change in expression.

Staring at those who were getting closer and closer to the oil paintings, they made no move.

Time ticked by, and an indescribable whispering began to echo throughout the room, like wind passing through withered branches, or as if something were unwillingly recounting something.

Hearing this sudden sound, Tai You shuddered.

Beside him, Meng Yu looked at him with disdain. "With guts like that, you still dared to come in."

"What? I'm scared? What are you talking nonsense for?"

He just felt a chill down his back.

"I just feel like something is staring at us; it's quite uncomfortable."

Tai You looked around, rubbing his arms.

"Well, aren't those the things you were talking about?"

Meng Yu tilted her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and stopped looking at the oil paintings on the wall.

Following Meng Yu's gaze to look at the oil paintings again, Tai You only felt that as he stared into those eyes, his whole body turned cold, and the feeling of being watched deepened.

"It couldn't be... them?"

"Huh!"

"Strange?"

"Why do some of these black cats not have eyes painted on them?"

Tai You swallowed hard; just a moment ago, he had felt that the black cats in these oil paintings were exquisitely drawn and full of spirit.

Now, looking at those eerie green eyes and then at those hollow, empty eye sockets, they no longer looked good; they felt incredibly strange.

"Ah..."

"Help, help me!"

A sudden cry for help drew their attention.

They saw that a few people had already approached the oil paintings, and the moment their hands touched the oil paintings, their entire bodies became immobile.

The obsession in their eyes faded, leaving only terror in their pupils.

"Help, save me."

"It's me, it's my greed."

"Let me go, I beg you."

"Lord Curtain Shadow, your follower was wrong."

"Spare me this once."

That person looked at the black cat in the oil painting in horror, apologizing and repenting incessantly.

The other players, including Qian Ye, didn't know what was happening and just watched him in confusion.

In the next second, the cat's head in the oil painting suddenly appeared, passed through the painting, and swallowed the man in one gulp.

It happened in an instant; the next second, the entire cat head retracted back into the oil painting, returning to normal.

Looking closely, those cat eyes seemed even brighter.

"Ah!"

"Quick, leave quickly!"

"Stay away from those oil paintings, those cats eat people."

Instantly, the entire hall fell into chaos, everyone fearing being targeted by the black cats.

The sounds continued.

The hoarse tone and flickering candlelight made the Guests present uneasy.

"Meow..."

"Meow~"

The shrill and piercing cat cries filled the entire hall.

It made these people look around vigilantly, fearing that something might pounce on them.

"Huh?"

"What is going on?"

"I was just going to check on the progress in the kitchen, why are there so many people?"

"Ryan!"

"Ryan!"

"What's going on, where did you run off to?"

"How could you let the Guests come in by themselves? It's truly too impolite."

A woman suddenly appeared in the hall.

She was wearing a black and white maid outfit, talking to herself at length.

In her words, another person's name could also be heard.

Ryan.

Could it be another servant?

"Meow~"

The familiar cat cry sounded again, causing everyone in the hall to jump in shock.

A black shadow suddenly darted through the crowd.

"Sorry, Xiao Mu is too naughty; he scared everyone."

It was the same maid speaking.
