Chapter 152: The Attack of the Protagonist (4)

The main door of the house had a common design with only one door, but this door was bigger than a normal door . Feng Bujue walked forward, held the knob and slightly pushed it . The thick door was moved .

Typical Japanese housing will have an entrance hall behind the main door, which leads to a corridor that prevents visitors from seeing the living room after walking through the main door . Quite the contrary, when entering a western house, visitors will see the large living room at the first glance .

All the structure, architecture, or even the design of the garden of this house had the strong taste of European style . Thus, Feng Bujue assumed that what awaited them behind the door was a spacious room .

However, what was waiting for them was a wall .

From the light of their flashlights, through the wide door, everybody could see the interior of the house . Standing five meters away from the door was a wall . There were dark winding corridors on both sides, elongated to both left and right directions, leading to some unknown places .

The entrance of this house was designed like the word (回), neither Japanese or European style . Basically, it wasn’t a logical design .

After Feng Bujue had pushed open the door, he stopped there and didn't walk forward . He seemed to be stunned, motionless, and speechless, as he just held up his flashlight . Invincible Hero looked over his shoulder and found that Feng Bujue’s flashlight was shining on the wall . Moreover, it hadn’t been moved for a while .

"Are you alright?" Ze Yhi looked at a side of Feng Bujue’s face, seeing him frown while thinking .

"I’ve seen this…" answered Feng Bujue with a soft tone . When he was talking, his focus didn't leave the wall .

Invincible Hero took a more careful look at the place his flashlight was illuminating . He saw a vague figure that could be a diagram of some magic formation .

"Da-Ge… don’t tell us that… you are a witch in reality…" said Invincible Hero .

"You have a rich imagination," Feng Bujue casually replied . "It should be more reasonable to deem me as a follower of some weird churches instead of being a witch…" Upon his words, his expression changed as a bright smile appeared on his face . "Alright, I remember it . Yeah, I saw it there . " He turned to look at Invincible Hero . "Do you still remember the scenario when we first met?"

Invincible Hero mused then asked, "The haunted mansion near the pond in the mountain, right?"

"Yes," Feng Bujue answered with a smile, then spoke up with a strange tone . "The floor of that mansion’s attic has a formation that looks exactly like the one in front of us . Ah… also, in that scenario, the source of the illusions that happened in the house is from that magic formation . "

When he finished, and before everybody else could react, a gray ghost appeared at the narrow corner behind the door together with a mournful screech that could pierce people’s ears . A dark, gloomy, and scary face suddenly zoomed to them . It raised its right arm and aimed for Feng Bujue’s throat .

It was no big deal to Feng Bujue who stood in the front, but the other five behind him jumped in fear .

What’s so-called classic will never be démodé . This jump scare is one of the scary tricks that it will never be missed in games or horror movies . No matter how many times it’s taken place, it works every bit of it .

The details of the plot are just the long run before the jump to leave space and time for the audience to imagine, which successfully and slowly implants the psychological hints . Ultimately, it was all for the outburst at some moment .

As for this sudden jump, it’s the simplest yet most direct trick to scare people . Showing up at a random moment without any prior signs could always create a certain effect .

At this moment, except for Feng Bujue, the Fear Value of the other five was running like a roller coaster taking a turn . This made their hearts beat frantically before gradually recovering the normal pace . Such a feeling Feng Bujue hadn’t had for really long…

One second later, Feng Bujue used one hand to grab the ghost’s incoming arm . As he had the Casey Jones’ Mask, even if his fighting skill was bad, he got grade D for Fighting Specialty and he could still parry such a level of attack .

The monster’s hideous ghost face was just inches away from Feng Bujue . It didn't have eyebrows, and he couldn't tell which was the iris and which was the pupil, even its sockets weren’t really clear . The monster got a pair of eyes that looked like two round eyes shimmering with white light . Even when one of its arms was captured, the monster didn’t panick . Quite the contrary, it gave him a dark, sinister sneer .

It happened faster than just talking . The other arm of the monster swung like lightning . Five fingers that looked like dried tree branches pierced directly into Feng Bujue’s eyes . This strike had an unimaginable speed that one basically couldn't dodge .

Invincible Hero, the one who stood nearest to him, was about to help him out, but it was unknown why he immediately saw an intangible dark air current that prevented his body from moving, right when he had just lifted his hand . Whenever he wanted to concentrate and use force to move, that feeling of heavy oppression would appear again and again, making him exhausted and dizzy .

The others also couldn't help . Absolutely, they had suffered from the same effects .

The monster in front of them, the other monsters hiding in the house or even the house and the formation on the wall could be the cause of these strange effects . In short, this attack towards the player who had opened the door was an ‘instant Death FLAG’ . If it had been a player who didn't have the Protagonist’s Halo, everybody else could only watch their teammate die instantly .

At that moment, everybody had experienced the power of the Protagonist’s Halo for the first time .

An attack that aimed for Feng Bujue, who couldn't defend himself, had missed…

The monster seemed not to understand what was going on . From its aspect, it had clearly aimed at the target, but in fact, it just hit the void .

"It works…" Feng Bujue glared at the hand that was like sharp knife crossing his cheek, feeling an icy cold wind sweep over his skin . All this time, however, his countenance didn’t change in the slightest .

One second later, he calmly retrieved the flashlight and spent 2% of his Survival Value to take out the [Death Poker] as he thought, ‘Hmm… this one looks strong; I will try four aces…’ The cards didn't fly out but formed a fan in his hand .

As the monster saw the Death Poker, it understood that a bad situation was about to occur . It then tried to run away, but one of its arms was firmly grabbed, disabling it from escaping Feng Bujue’s grip .

The tips of the cards flashed together as Feng Bujue swung his arm horizontally, leaving a magnificent ray in midair just like what he was holding weren’t cards but sharp blades . Cuts appeared at the places on the monster’s body where the cards swept over . Blood didn’t gush out from the cuts, but instead black dense smoke .

Although this dense black smoke was air, it was oozing down like a stream of water and wasn’t flying up or diffusing…
