Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius! Novel - Chapter 135
135 Strange Space
Kong Rui didn’t move. Instead, she said to the procuress, “Go activate the array.”
The procuress looked troubled.
Kong Rui said, “Could it be that you don’t dare to activate the array because you want to use this array to harm us?”
The procuress looked at Kong Rui in fear. “Master, you’ve wronged me! It’s not that I don’t want to activate the array, but this array can only be activated with the help of spiritual energy. I want to help, but I really can’t!”
!!
Kong Rui glanced at Chao Bai and saw that he had already walked towards the potted plant.
Chao Bai was extremely familiar with arrays. If there was really something fishy about this array, he would be able to deal with it easily.
Kong Rui’s plan was foolproof, so Chao Bai naturally wouldn’t let her down.
Chao Bai stood beside the potted plant. However, he asked the procuress, “Do you know where this array leads?”
“This…” The procuress paused. “Every time, Pavilion Master Zi Xuan would tell us to throw the people into the array and then leave. I really don’t know where this array sends the people.”
Kong Rui kept staring at the procuress and saw that she didn’t seem to be lying.
Chao Bai seemed to have determined the authenticity of the procuress’ words. Then, he gently stroked the upper end of the potted plant and instilled spiritual energy into it. A seedling in the potted plant gradually grew and a small purple flower bloomed.
As the flower bloomed, the spiritual energy in the room quickly surged and gradually gathered in the center of the room.
Kong Rui turned to look at the place where the spiritual energy gathered and saw a vortex created by spiritual energy in the middle of the room.
Chao Bai turned around and glanced at Kong Rui.
Kong Rui quickly grabbed the back of the brothel madam’s collar and threw her in.
The procuress let out a cry of surprise and soon disappeared into the spiritual energy vortex.
Seeing that there was no other reaction from the spiritual energy vortex, Kong Rui walked into it.
Chao Bai grabbed Kong Rui’s arm with one hand and dragged her into the vortex.
After experiencing a dizzying feeling, Kong Rui opened her eyes and looked at the completely different space in front of her.
This was a dark and damp space, and the air was filled with a pungent and disgusting rotten smell.
Kong Rui blinked hard while trying to adjust to the darkness in front of her.
She was about to take a step forward when she felt something under her feet.
Before she could see what it was, she heard a scream not far away. “Ah! What is this?!”
Obviously, it was the procuress’ voice.
A white light flashed in front of Kong Rui’s eyes, and she saw Chao Bai ignite a cluster of spiritual energy flames with his finger, illuminating a portion of the surrounding space.
Kong Rui looked in the brothel keeper’s direction and saw her sitting on the ground with a piece of white bone in her hand.
The procuress also saw what she was holding and was so frightened that she immediately threw the bone far away.
She took a closer look and saw that the thing that had tripped her was actually a stack of human bones!
The procuress screamed in fear, causing an ear-piercing scream to echo in the not-so-expansive space.
Kong Rui waved her finger at the procuress in frustration. The procuress’ voice suddenly disappeared, leaving only her terrified gaze and agape mouth.
Kong Rui used the light in Chao Bai’s hand to carefully examine her surroundings. She saw that the walls of this space were covered in black mottled marks. She couldn’t tell what they were, but they emitted a stench.
At first, Kong Rui suspected that it was human blood, but when she looked closer, she realized that it seemed to be different from blood.
Chao Bai looked around and suddenly stopped.
Kong Rui sensed Chao Bai’s abnormality and followed his gaze.
The space was too dark, so Kong Rui could only see a dark thing in front of her. It seemed to be as tall as two people and stood in the center of the space.
