Chapter 19: Battle in the dark

Views:

At 11:30 in the evening, Ask accompanied Nora to Dolok Road in the slum area.

"Will there be any danger?" Nora said in a low voice with some fear, looking at the dark roads on both sides and the homeless man sleeping in the alley with a cardboard box covering his body.

"Nora, it's dangerous to go anywhere." Ask said calmly, "Otherwise I wouldn't have come with you."

"Yeah." Nora nodded, still feeling a little uneasy.

Arriving at the door of House 44, she reached out to knock, but was stopped by Ask.

Ask raised the hilt of his sword and knocked on the door.

Was she worried that there was a supernatural power trap on the door? Nora suddenly had the urge to take notes again.

The door opened, and it was dark inside. Only a figure could be vaguely seen sitting in the bedroom. Ask sneered in his heart, it was indeed the enemy.

Nora looked inside carefully, and suddenly she felt a chill, as if something had invaded her body and was fighting for dominance. Her thoughts were sluggish, her senses were dulled, and Nora felt that breathing was becoming difficult. She wanted to scream loudly, but she found that her throat and vocal cords had lost control and she could not make any sound.

Ask encountered the same situation, but he was already level 1, and his spirituality was much stronger than Nora, so he could still move. As his body gradually became uncontrollable, he did not show any panic, but slowly turned his wrist and aimed the gun at the darkness on the left.

BANG!!! The roar of the Imperial Eagle sounded, and Nora felt as if she was hit by a giant hammer, and blood almost oozed out of her ears and nose... At the same time, her body quickly returned to normal. She stumbled and held onto the door frame, and saw Ask lighting up the tinder, illuminating the scene in the room.

This is a simple bungalow of about 12 square meters. A young man in a yellow priest's robe is sitting on the bed, his eyes are white and his face is purple, obviously dead. Another body is in the shadow behind the left door, a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing a black robe, with a big hole in his chest blown by an elephant hunting bullet, and he is lying on the ground with blood all over his body, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"That's a Spirit II transcendent." Ask stepped forward quickly and began to search the young man's belongings. "Spirit II can freely manipulate nearby spirits and let them attach to inanimate objects, such as attaching to a pistol to shoot. Or they can invade living things and compete with the spirits in the body for dominance."

"Of course, this is not a panacea." He pointed at the corpse in the corner and added, "The higher the sequence of the extraordinary person, the lower the possibility of being successfully invaded by the spirit. I have been holding the pistol in my cotton arm armor since I entered the door. If I just deflect the angle of my wrist and pull the trigger, I can still do it while resisting the invasion of the spirit."

"I see." Nora felt inexplicably ashamed. The moment the door opened, Ask had already prepared to fight back with his gun, but her first subconscious reaction was to stick her head inside. The difference in actual combat experience between the two was too big.

And even if he was on alert, his first reaction would definitely be to regard the corpse sitting on the bed as an enemy. How could he have thought that the real enemy was hiding in the darkness behind the left door? By the way, how did Ask know
