199: Chapter 199: The Black Cat's Blessing (The End)
Seeing they were still in that state, Lian Bai's face turned ashen.
"What's going on?"
Curtain came to Shadow's side, "Let me."
After some effort, the white mist dissipated, but things remained unchanged.
"It's her!"
In an instant, they understood; she was the one behind everything.
No wonder she was so obedient this time, directly asking them to take them away.
Thinking of something, Lian Bai's breath hitched.
"This is bad..."
"Hee hee..." The voices of two people overlapped, the latter being a charming voice accompanied by the sound of clapping.
"Oh, I've been found out."
Qian Ye walked out from behind the crowd in a composed manner.
As soon as she appeared, everyone's eyes turned eerie green, staring intently at her, hands in an attacking posture.
"How rude, not welcoming a Guest at all." The smile on Qian Ye's face remained unchanged, and her hands didn't stop moving.
The hong ling umbrella appeared in her hand, and she started swinging it directly at the people in front of her. Watching the people fall one by one, Qian Ye's whole body exuded an air of joy.
"It's okay if you block the way; I can clear the roadblocks myself, hee hee."
"Sigh, a child who lies is not a good child."
Qian Ye looked at the two of them coldly.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Tai You and the others trapped within. She shook her head, flipped her hand, and summoned the Red Thread on her wrist. It circled around Tai You and the others, slowly petrifying and disappearing, and the group returned to normal.
"So it was you!"
Seeing this scene, Lian Bai understood everything; it was all the girl in front of him's doing.
He hadn't expected it to happen right under his nose.
Damn it.
"So what if it's you."
"It just so happens that I need that anyway, and you just happened to stumble upon my door, haha."
After Lian Bai finished speaking, his whole body moved, and black mist spread from him.
Immediately, Curtain beside him was also enveloped in white mist.
One black, one white; one in charge of the day, one controlling the night.
"It seems everyone in the whole town is controlled by you."
"Ah, no, I shouldn't say it like that. After all, there are no living people in the entire town."
Qian Ye didn't care about the two in front of her at all, observing the surroundings.
"Heh heh heh, since you've found out, you won't be able to escape."
As Curtain's voice fell, the white mist flew towards those people. When the white mist dissipated, Tai You took a sharp breath as he looked at them.
Those people—no, they couldn't be called people—their eyes glowed with an eerie green light, their teeth bared, and their hands turned into sharp claws, facing them.
Each one had turned into a monster with a cat's head and a human's body.
"Heh heh heh, with you, it's enough. We are about to be liberated."
In an instant, all the monsters rushed up. Tai You, Meng Yu, and the others quickly escaped and closed in on Qian Ye.
Soon, the group was caught in a chaotic brawl.
Qian Ye held Xiao Hua and moved among the monsters. Everywhere she went, no figure remained standing; one by one, the monsters turned into gray mist and surged toward the spider lily in Qian Ye's hand.
"Hee hee hee, Master, a bit more, a bit more, it's almost enough."
Xiao Hua swayed its body. Its entire being emitted a faint red glow, and from within the flower bud, a light was faintly shining through.
Hearing Xiao Hua say this, Qian Ye became even more excited. Consequently, Blue Shadow watched as Qian Ye, as if injected with chicken blood, became more excited the more she killed; wherever she went, not even a chicken or dog was left alive.
...
It was truly the first time seeing her so crazy. One would think she was the NPC, scaring those monsters into fleeing everywhere.
More and more mist surged toward Xiao Hua.
"I said she wouldn't be easy to deal with." Shadow on the side stared at Qian Ye with a sinister expression.
Does this person have no heart? No matter what, she couldn't be deceived.
"Don't say so much. Time is almost up. Kill them quickly, and there will be exactly nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people."
After Curtain finished speaking, he glanced at the sky. The weather had always been gray, but now it revealed a bright moonlight, though this white was somewhat abnormal.
The time was almost here.
That person was about to appear.
"Let's join forces."
Curtain and Shadow attacked at the same time, heading towards Qian Ye.
"Big Boss, be careful."
"Meow~"
The gray mist dissipated, and a giant gray cat appeared. At this moment, those cat eyes looked even more eerie green. With just one look from them, Tai You felt he could no longer move.
"I... why do I feel like my body is accelerating its petrification?"
He found it difficult even to lift his feet.
"Don't look into its eyes."
"But..." They seemed unable to control themselves.
"So beautiful..." Meng Yu couldn't help but want to stare at those eerie green eyes.
Suddenly, a red umbrella appeared, blocking their view. Only then did Meng Yu snap back to her senses.
"Even if you can block it for a moment, it's useless."
"Meow~ He... is... coming."
As the voice fell, the surroundings became silent. Those monsters petrified soundlessly, and the moonlight became even more deathly pale.
"Who's coming?" Tai You stared at the night. He had been so busy fighting that he hadn't noticed there was actually a moon.
In an instant, everything was silent, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
"Long time no see, Venerable One."
Qian Ye held the hong ling umbrella and looked up lazily. The newcomer wore a black cloak, covering himself tightly, for fear of being recognized.
"Pfft, a rat hiding its head and showing its tail."
"I have no interest in someone who doesn't even dare to show their true face."
Saying that, Qian Ye attacked directly. The man kept dodging, not daring to strike back.
"What does it matter if I hide? The things used against me are just those few items, haha."
"Did you really think that once I left the Yellow Springs Shore, the world would belong to you?"
Qian Ye curled her lips in a cold sneer, a flash of coldness in her eyes. Truly naive.
"Naturally, I wouldn't dare to underestimate the Venerable One." Otherwise, he wouldn't have planned until now. As long as she was trapped here, they would still have a chance.
"Boring."
"I thought there would be some new tricks."
Qian Ye looked lazily at the Great Array rising around her. Did they really think they could trap her?
"Try it and you'll see."
The Man in Black activated the Great Array, and white light blotted out the sun and sky.
Seeing this, Qian Ye didn't want to waste any more words with him. The spider lily in her hand had already bloomed, emitting a red light.
That light swallowed the white light bit by bit, and for a moment, the red held the upper hand...
The entire space was sealed. The flower pot fell to the ground, and the vermilion spider lily suspended in mid-air as the darkness was swallowed bit by bit.
The figure of the Man in Black also gradually dissipated.
"Venerable One, we have a long time ahead of us."
"Seal!"
At the moment her consciousness faded, Qian Ye heard those words again. She had thought it wasn't the same person, but it seemed it wasn't what she had thought.
"Phew!"
Meng Yu opened her eyes to a familiar place.
It was exactly her home.
She was back!
The game was cleared!
Meng Yu opened the panel, which showed a game notification: "The Black Cats Blessing" cleared.
"Phew, scared me to death. I thought I'd be stuck there." Meng Yu patted her chest.
She felt as if the lingering effects of that petrification were still in her body.
"Oh, right, the others."
Meng Yu quickly opened her contact list.
She contacted Tai You and the others, and everyone replied. Finally, only the Big Boss's page was still offline.
"Can you guys contact the Big Boss?"
"I sent a message to the Big Boss too, but there's no response."
"I don't know what happened back then."
Tai You thought back but couldn't remember anything, nor did he know how he had cleared the game.
"The Big Boss must have done something."
"It's okay, I believe in the Big Boss. She will definitely come back." Tai You firmly believed that Qian Ye would return.
