Light Spirit Epic Chapter 1890: The Iron Maiden (8)
Chapter 189o Steel Maiden (8)
The ghoul was looking for prey, but Arthur was already prepared. ?? He chose to go up to the second floor from this staircase, which was originally calculated, because the current sunlight angle is just enough to make a large enough shadow under the staircase.
Before being discovered by the other party, Arthur pulled hard, pulling himself and Joey beside him into that shadow. Now he is perfectly lurking in the shadows at the bottom of the stairs, and it is not so easy to be seen.
Sure enough, it can't see. The mad ghoul's eyes were cloudy, and had been seriously rotted. As one of the most easily corrupted organs in the facial features, when these monsters changed from [corpses] to [monsters], they were already doomed to be short-sighted. They mainly rely on dynamic vision to see things, which means that as long as Arthur and the others hide in the shadows and do not move around, the other party is extremely difficult to detect.
The ghoul, seeing nothing wrong, turned back to enjoy its lunch.
"Phew." Arthur didn't even have time to breathe, but Joey Zuster, who was heavy, breathed a sigh of relief first.
Arthur rolled his eyes at the boy, picked up his mood and continued to move up. This time, he learned to be good, and his limbs were pressed on the wooden stairs of the upper and lower floors at the same time. Because there are too many points of force, the pressure on the stairs is dispersed, and it does not make much noise.
Upstairs, the fraternity group was extraordinarily nervous, as if Arthur was taking a risk climbing the ladder, and it was them who would suffer when something happened.
The whole process is an ordeal, a test of patience. But Arthur did it all carefully, and reached the second floor without making a sound.
"What are you doing here?" Arthur crouched close to the bookshelf and asked the group of people hiding on the bookshelf in a low voice.
"Are you...?" Inspector Tigen looked at Arthur with a puzzled expression. Of course, the people on their side didn't know Arthur. After all, they didn't see "Master Saint" from The moment you wake up in the statue.
"This is Lord Aslan." Joey, who followed Arthur, said.
A surprised look appeared on the faces of the group of scholars: "Oh! This is------"
"Shh!------" Arthur interrupted hurriedly when he saw the growing voices from the scholars.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Inspector Tigen said with an embarrassed expression, and began to explain: "We came to the library this time to look for an important book. The book has been found, but something has happened. Uh , Lord Saint, you should have seen what happened here."
"The library has been invaded by ghouls." Arthur hummed, "Why is the library so easily invaded by ghouls? It's unbelievable. Are there no guards in the library? The Knights of Burgundy. What have you been doing?"
"The Knights? Do you mean the army?" Inspector Tigen didn't understand what Arthur meant, but he understood: "Most of the army has been transferred to the front, the British army and Burgundy. Di's army is fighting the French army on the front line. There are some old and weak soldiers left to guard Burgundy.
"Oh?" Arthur was a little skeptical about this.
" We don't know where the ghouls came from, but they just popped up for no reason and attacked people in the library. Luckily our fraternity people were alert enough to hide right away We got to the top of the bookcase. Those cannibal monsters didn't know how to climb. They couldn't attack us, so they spread out to find the corpses to eat. All this happened after midnight last night."
"It seems that the ghouls migrated in the dark and entered the library through the back door." Joey then explained to Arthur: "Their constitutions are also similar to vampires and cannot withstand direct sunlight."
"Someone is secretly planning all this." Arthur concluded: "They want to use the hands of the ghouls to kill you, Inspector Tigeng. The motive is probably the book you got."
"Perhaps." Inspector Tigen shrugged: "So, what should we do now?"
"Hmm..." Arthur glanced at his surroundings. It's daytime, and if Joey's argument is true, the sunlight coming in from outside the library can be their greatest weapon, and they can wipe out the ghouls with the sunlight.
However, the structure of the library is inherently shading. Most of the books need to be protected from light and should not be exposed to the sun. This library is full of blind spots that the sun can't reach. If the ghouls are hiding in the blind spots, the sun will have nothing to do with them. The six-pointed star-shaped structure in the center of the library has a large skylight that can be opened at the top, but it is now covered with rags. Someone must remove the rags from the top of the building before direct sunlight can come in.
"Joy, do you know what I'm thinking?" Arthur asked.
"I see, Lord Aslan." The boy was smart, and he could guess Arthur's plan from the direction Arthur was looking.
"Then let's split up," Arthur said.
Downstairs, near the central connection from the side hall, vampire hunter Johnny Zuster was still moving at an extremely slow pace, in order not to make a sound. But Arthur had already slid down the handrail of the stairs and walked almost silently to the hexagonal connection area in the center of the entire library.
Little Zuster has not yet understood what Arthur wants to do, and Arthur has taken out a large number of small throwing knives from his shoulder straps.
Swish swish swish swish! He raised his hand in a series of throws. The flying knives flew out from all directions and shot at all the side halls of the library!
"Are you insane?"------ Little Zust had such a surprised expression on his face at the time, as if the expression was enough to express what he wanted to say.
But Arthur wasn't crazy, his ideas were witty. He put his thoughts into action, and it turned out like this.
dong dong dong dong dong! ! The continuous sound of glass shattering was provoked by the throwing of small flying knives. The side hall of the library has windows, and they are all distributed at the end of the side hall. They were just covered by curtains, and the whole library was made so dark because the books couldn't be exposed to the sun. But the original designers of the library still left windows all over the library!
The shattered windows began to leak, and the outside wind blew in, pulling the curtains and letting in more sunlight at the same time!
The sun fell on the side halls and on the group of crazy ghouls who were eating corpses. To these undead creatures, sunlight is like strong acid! Even with just a little bit of sunlight falling on their rotting skin, the surface of their bodies immediately began to sizzle! The monsters, who were burned by the sun for a while, also stopped, and they stood up one after another, and turned their eyes to Arthur in the center of the hall.
It's pointless to sneak in a low profile at this time. Little Zust strode over to meet Arthur, and formed a defensive formation with Arthur back to back: "Master Aslan, is this your strategy? It's a bit reckless."
"Huhuhu, just wait and see." Arthur sneered: "Just hold on for two minutes, don't die."
"Two minutes is not a problem." As a well-trained vampire hunter, Zuster has full-time self-confidence, and the mere ghouls can't scare him, even if the number of ghouls is indeed large.
"Ow! Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" Some of the mad ghouls just now were burned and injured by the sunlight, but the sunlight projected from the small windows in the side hall was not violent after all, and it was far from enough to turn the mad ghouls into ashes. Part of it was intact, and the other part had been burned, but the ghouls, who were even more insane and angry, were staring at Arthur and Little Zust in the center of the hall, eager to tear these two humans into pieces and eat them immediately. Lose!
They're coming! Running surprisingly fast, one can't help but wonder, are these guys really transformed from human corpses? !
A ghoul wanted to knock Arthur down and bite, but Arthur slid away along the momentum of its attack, and at the same time was pressed by the blade in the direction of its attack. Arthur hardly used any strength to swing the sword, but the opponent's strength was too great, and the blade fell into the head of the ghoul, cutting the monster's forehead in half horizontally!
And here, the former ghoul fell to the ground, and the other three ghouls had already rammed into little Zuster! Johnny wields the silver whip that hunts vampires. The whip has a special effect when it hits the undead monsters. Its enchanted [holy] silver cuts the monsters' bodies in half like butter! With only half of their bodies left, the ghouls who fell on the ground continued to crawl towards Arthur and Johnny~IndoMTL.com~ but they would never be able to crawl, so they were buried in the holy shrine thrown by Little Zust. In the fire of the water bottle!
More ghouls are coming, and there are still about 120 left. They are so dense, they move like a human wall (corpse wall), and they are pressing fast! Its momentum is so fierce that even Johnny's silver whip can't easily catch them all in one go! The other five ghouls swarmed in front of Arthur frantically, and they all grabbed, trying to catch or at least scratch Arthur!
At this moment, however, Arthur shouted: "It's now!"
"Okay!" the voice of a teenager on the roof responded. Just when Arthur and the others were in charge of attracting the attention of the monsters, Joey had already run to the top floor of the library and grabbed the hemp rope used to control the curtains on the top floor of the library with one hand!
He yanked as hard as he could, pulling the top rag curtains open!
It was just noon and the sun was shining. Outside the curtains with the glass ceiling lifted, the fierce sunlight poured down from directly above without reservation and without mercy, and fell on the heads of the mad ghouls!
