Bong! Bong! Bong!
A series of explosive ringing of the Requiem Clock finally forced out the black figure lurking in the lady’s corpse. That was still a black shadow, but a woman’s contour was visible.
She furiously screamed, “Abomination! How dare you ruin my important business?! Go to hell!”
The black shadow directly rushed toward Alex. However, Alex had the Requiem Clock in his hand. This was a holy Buddhist tool, and it shocked the black shadow to the point her soul trembled, and she couldn’t stop screaming.
Then, she ran, rushing out of the dream world.
Alex also sensed that the scene before him was changing. He had escaped the dream world and returned to the deepest part of the spider lair, standing in the chilly water pool.
“Shirley Hancock, wake up!”
Alex grabbed her hand and pulled her away from that strange tree.
Shirley woke up and shook her head. “What’s wrong with me?”
Alex said, “Your soul was almost possessed. This tree is strange. Hurry up and leave this water pool.”
However, the strange tree in the windless pool of water started moving on its own.
The green glow on its leaves fluctuated with greater intensity, like rotating neon lights. Eventually, all the green lights converged into a green chain, binding Alex at once. That black figure reappeared, flying out as she shouted, “Die!”
That was still the lady’s black shadow.
This time, she unexpectedly rushed into Alex’s soul. She spoke in a strange accent as if she was a foreigner speaking English. However, this was a soul state where he could sense the other party’s soul thoughts. Even if he did not understand her accent, he could perceive the meaning from her soul state.
“I’ve waited for countless centuries, and finally, a suitable human has come!” she growled. “I’ll never give up! I want to return! I want to go to the Pool of the Afterlife! Whoever dares to block me shall die!”
Alex was surprised. This woman’s speech revealed a lot of information.
Return where?
The pool of the Afterlife?
As soon as she said that, a rusty chain rushed out of Persephone’s Folly Bridge and shackled the woman’s soul.
It was simply too simple a process. She had walked right into the trap!
“Wait, don’t kill her first. I want to know this person’s origin,” Alex hurriedly tried to prevent Shelly from killing this person.
The woman whose soul had been shackled by the iron chain was scared witless. However, from Alex’s tone, she knew he needed information before killing her.
She pretended to be tough. “Hmph, you want to get information out of me? Impossible, unless you let me out, and we can make a fair deal.”
Alex shook his head. “You’re not qualified to make a deal with me in my territory.”
As Alex said that, he went forward and gently pressed his palm on her head. He activated the Soul Searching Art.
When Alex searched her memory fragments, he found some descriptions about this world. It was then that he shouted, “Crap!”
