One Punch Monk

Chapter 52 Which is true?
"anyone there?"

In the darkness, Princess Pingyang stepped out of the door of the room and summoned up her courage to ask.

She was on the third floor of the inn, surrounded by silence, the darkness seemed to be a beast that had been dormant for a long time, swallowing all light, shadow and sound.

Shen Budu forgot to tell her that her death by exposing her position in the dark would usually not survive 3 minutes in a horror movie.

Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for Shen Budu himself to shout out the three words "Is anyone there" in an unknown environment.

Because it is often not the "people" that are attracted.
"anyone there?"

Princess Pingyang called again, but there was still no answer.

I don't know if it was because he was frightened in the dark closed room just now, Princess Pingyang felt a gust of cold wind blowing, blowing the clothes on his shoulders, blowing into the underwear, and feeling a bit chilly on his chest.

Princess Pingyang was vigilant, but did not back down, but continued to walk forward with a determined face.

"Squeak."

With the sudden opening of the door next to it, Princess Pingyang's pupils suddenly shrank into a needle-like shape, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.

Feeling that the railing at the waist was a little loose, Princess Pingyang quickly took two steps forward.

There was the sound of rotten wood disintegrating, and she turned back to touch it again, but found nothing. The railings on the third floor turned into rotten wood and fell down with a clatter.

Princess Pingyang was terrified by this weird situation, she didn't dare to walk against the side of the railing, for fear of falling and falling into the lobby.

She looked at the next room that had just opened the door. There was no light in the room and it was very dim, but after all, it was much better than the darkness before.

It seems that sound and light are beginning to return in this space.

Princess Pingyang touched the three-piece set of flint and steel on the table. Fortunately, she likes hunting and has a certain ability to be independent.

After many failures, her hands finally stopped shaking, and the fire knife rubbed against the flint, and the fire was successfully wiped off.

A faint light rose from the tinder, and then lit the candle.

Candlelight gave her a sense of security.

Holding the candlestick, Princess Pingyang began to look at the room.

The furniture was rotten, the tables, chairs and beds were covered with dust, and the brocade quilt was just touched, like fragile old paper, and it shattered directly.

"what?"

Princess Pingyang raised her head, and the faint light of the candle shone on the beam above her head.

A new knotted twine hangs down.

Somehow, Princess Pingyang didn't know why, as if her body was out of control, she stood on the stool and put her fair neck into the rope ring.

Immediately afterwards, the rotten and cracked stool under his feet was completely broken.

When the rope circle strangled Princess Pingyang's neck, she suddenly came to her senses.

What's wrong with me? !

However, the more she wanted to exert strength, the more she struggled and shouted, the tighter the brand new noose that didn't fit in became tighter.

She exhausted all her strength, but it was still in vain. The strength made her breathing gradually difficult, and her eyes gradually became blurred.

Princess Pingyang knew that he was about to suffocate.

At this time, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"anyone there?"

It's the voice of Master Fudu!

Princess Pingyang wanted to shout for help, but her throat seemed to be clamped by an iron clamp, and she couldn't make a sound at all.

She grabbed the hemp rope with her hands and wanted to release her neck. She exhausted her last bit of strength and tore her wrists to a bloody mess.

However, this rope was too strong, and the end of the rope connected to the beam was also very firmly tied. Even if she tried her best, she only pulled a little bit, and the noose still remained motionless.

Just like that, her body was suspended in the air.

Due to the lack of oxygen in her blood, her vision was completely lost, and most of her hearing was lost. She could only vaguely discern the sound coming from outside the door.

She felt that she was being pulled far away, and her body was getting lighter and lighter, as if she was going to float on the clouds.

Princess Pingyang was screaming in her heart.

"Master Budu!"

"Help!"

When she was almost desperate, she suddenly felt that her body became heavy again, the blood began to flow, and the pain was faintly visible. She thought it was a dream and kept shaking her head, but the feeling in her mind told her, This is not a dream, but real existence.

Do not cross the mage!

He came, came to save me.

"Mage!"

Princess Pingyang shouted with all her strength, her voice was hoarse, like worn glass.

But after she yelled out, the fear in her heart decreased a lot.

Because, after she yelled, she felt as if she was hugged by a warm embrace, instead of the cold touch of the rope circle.

If this is a dream, this is the best dream she has ever had, she is even willing to never wake up in this life!
"Princess, keep your voice down, there are ghosts outside!"

The gentle voice of Master Budu rang in her ears.

Princess Pingyang tightly covered her mouth, not daring to speak out, for fear of provoking the "ghosts" outside.

"Princess, follow the little monk, remember, no matter what you see later, don't make a sound, you understand?"

Princess Pingyang nodded obediently.

After resting for a while, Master Budu took Princess Pingyang and began to walk out. In this dark and dilapidated abandoned inn, a strange atmosphere was constantly permeating.

"Squeak~"

The decayed staircase made a tooth-sickening sound, which made people wonder whether the staircase would collapse in the next moment.

Master Budu took Princess Pingyang's little hand and walked down the stairs step by step. In the dark, Princess Pingyang could see Master Budu and hear his slight panting. Would he be afraid?

Princess Pingyang felt distressed, and she suddenly understood that Master Budu was not as calm and composed as she imagined, in fact, he should be as worried as she was.

After all, everyone here has been sealed with power, and practitioners have become no different from ordinary people.

Why is Master Budu so worried?Is it because he was targeted by ghosts just now, so Master Budu is nervous?
Just as Princess Pingyang was thinking wildly, the two finally reached the second floor.

The second floor was very quiet, and there was no one there.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"what?"

Princess Pingyang thought the voice was familiar, but at this moment she found that Master Budu had let go of her hand.

Princess Pingyang resisted the idea of ​​making a sound, she turned her head and looked over.

But I saw that there was an identical mage Budu standing not far from the second floor!

Princess Pingyang was a little dazed, and the mage Budu beside her took her hand and said eagerly.

"Princess run, he is not a monk!"

Princess Pingyang hesitated for a moment.

Unexpectedly,

Master Budu on the second floor actually nodded.

"That's right, I'm not, so how do you prove that you are?"

Master Budu next to Princess Pingyang was at a loss for words.

"My little monk heard that there are no ghosts in the inn."

He turned sideways, like Avalokitesvara, and a Master Budu appeared behind him.

And this one has a golden light on his hand.

Under the golden light, the people around Princess Pingyang,

no shadow!
