Nightmare's Call - Chapter 191
Chapter 191: Attraction: Part 3
“Khadula, do you know what you’re talking about?” said the figure in the circle in a low voice. “Don’t think you have the power to do whatever you want. The power of the Heaven’s Spire is far more than the mere Ironfist Society can match.”
“Cool… But I’m just a special envoy, and I’m still on vacation. What does this have to do with me?” said Khadula, clapping softly.
“Arrogance!” The figure was angry. “So you want to die? Khadula!”
“Oh dear, you’re angry,” said Khadula, covering his mouth in surprise. “I just helped myself to some food. Did I do something wrong?”
“Good. We’ll be seeing each other soon. I hope you’ll look so relaxed then.”
*Puff!*
The two figures suddenly burst and disappeared.
“Guess I’ve created some big news. What’s next?” Khadula turned and looked out to sea, the direction where Lin Sheng was.
At this moment, in the body of Khadula, Lin Sheng’s consciousness was watching this scene. He froze.
He was in Xylond. He could see and know what Khadula was doing, but he could not control it. He could only watch Khadula devour the soldiers by instinct, but he could not intervene.
Lin Sheng was meditating. It seemed that only when his mind was completely focused could he manage to connect with Khadula at this moment. But there was nothing he could do.
“The desire in Khadula’s body is too strong… It can’t be suppressed at all…” Lin Sheng slowly opened his eyes.
“Plus, it feels like he’s stronger… Maybe it’s because he’s stronger now so I’m able to connect with him.” Lin Sheng straightened up from the bed, frowning.
He had just returned from the café and was ready to take a break and meditate in his dormitory. However, after connecting Khadula, the news sent Lin Sheng’s mood to the bottom.
“Khadula slaughtered the entire military camp… Now, this is a big problem…” Lin Sheng frowned.
The conflict between him and Redwin was previously a mere conflict between transcendents. But now, after killing hundreds of their men, it had evolved to the level of absolute contradiction.
Lin Sheng was getting more and more worried about the intensification of the conflict, but he could not control Khadula. It’s too far away. Khadula could only act according to the rules and tasks he set before.
“There is no way that Redwin will allow Khadula to continue the massacre at Veleon. They will definitely send their best men there to stop it. Khadula has to leave ASAP! Besides, I need to summon the Steel Lord. I need two masters to support the Ironfist Society.”
Lin Sheng stood up, changed his clothes, left the dormitory, hailed a taxi at the school gate, and went straight to the old house he rented in the suburb.
In order to facilitate the summoning ritual, Lin Sheng specially prepared a complete set of summoning materials in the old house. He only needed to come here to start the summoning.
It was a mistake to let Khadula out. If he did not get ready soon, Sarroux and he would be in big trouble
Up to now, Lin Sheng could vaguely sum up some regular patterns.
“Every creature that I summon, without my direct control, will use its own unique way to fulfill the mission and instructions I give. For example, the big news Khadula created was the massacre.”
Lin Sheng had arrived at a remote old town. There were weeds everywhere, and not far away was an old parking lot.
He rented a unit in a dilapidated building. This half-finished building was not even capped. The upper part of the building was encased in thick grey plastic sheeting. All the residents there lived in the grey, undecorated roughcast units.
Lin Sheng passed a small grocery store at the entrance of the corridor and bought some bread and milk for dinner.
He went into the corridor, took the elevator and pressed the sixth floor.
When he rented the house, he was the only one who lived on the whole sixth floor, and it was the only unit with windows. From where he was, several floors up and down were unoccupied.
On the sixth floor, the freight elevator opened slowly, revealing a dark corridor outside.
There was no corridor light here so it would be dark at night. Only brave people like Lin Sheng dare to live here, and most people dare not even enter this place.
Lin Sheng stepped out of the elevator, turned on the flashlight, and the light suddenly lit up in the dark corridor.
The moment he turned on the flashlight, Lin Sheng vaguely saw a man who looked like a construction worker, wearing a safety helmet, standing at the door of the unit he rented.
Lin Sheng didn’t notice that immediately. When he realized something was not right and quickly turned the flashlight back, the man was gone.
“Huh?” Lin Sheng quickly semi-dragonized his eyes. His pupils turned pale gold, and his vision improved greatly in the dark.
But the dark corridor was empty and quiet. No one was there.
Lin Sheng suddenly thought of his landlord. The landlord was impatient when negotiating the price, and did not Lin Sheng forcing the price down.
Now it seemed that… There’s something wrong with this unit…
Lin Sheng went to his unit, took out the key and opened the door.
A current of cool air blowing in his face, along with a faint rotten smell.
Lin Sheng went in and closed the door.
“Huh??”
Suddenly he felt that the door would not close behind him. Someone was pushing at the door!
“Who’s there!”
He turned sharply.
There was nothing outside in the dark. After he turned around, the door finally closed smoothly.
But as soon as he closed the door, Lin Sheng heard the sound of footsteps slowly approaching behind him.
He turned his face slightly and looked behind him.
A construction worker wearing a safety helmet was standing quietly in the living room, facing him, motionless.
“You still have time to get out.” Lin Sheng’s golden vertical pupils were glowing, the corner of his mouth slowly overflowed with sparks.
