Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 78 Music Box

"Success."

Su Yu silently sensed it, and a hazy white light appeared before his eyes. Ripples spread through the air in the courtyard, and the shadow of a gray-haired girl appeared, looking around in a daze.

"To intervene, we must be interconnected."

"Links can draw people into a space, especially when the differences between them are not significant."

A few strands of white light hung down from the sky, as thin as cotton threads, like a dragonfly lightly touching the water.

The girl's shadow struggled desperately, but it was still stuck to the web and hung in the air like a mosquito caught in a spider web.

Su Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"This shows she's not strong, or rather, she wasn't strong when she arrived!"

"A blazing beam of positive energy!"

A tiny white light appeared at Su Yu's fingertip, which quickly expanded to the size of a fist.

The warm light shone brightly, and just by casting it around, the chill vanished instantly. The gray-haired girl's shadow seemed to sizzle and visibly shrink.

The tattered and dirty girl stirred slightly, as if trying to raise her head.

"go with!"

An irregularly shaped ball of white light hurtled precisely toward the girl.

At the same time, Su Yu retreated rapidly.

Fighting evil spirits hand-to-hand is something only a fool would do; how could a mage do that?

“a hurricane”

"Destroyed my town"

The girl raised her face, her empty eyes containing only two pale, hollow points.

Amidst the silent roar, visible black ripples appeared from the front, and the white silk binding them swayed violently.

"boom!"

During the collision, the white ball of light trembled and exploded in mid-air, turning into petals of fire that scattered all over the ground... In the blink of an eye, flames shot up more than a meter high!

Scrambling and tumbling, Su Yu retreated to the prepared escape route. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the white silk had been blown apart or broken free. At the girl's feet, shadows spread out in a flash, like living things bypassing the fire and about to reach the wall.

"Want to leave?"

"You still want to attack me?"

"But so that's how it moves?"

The shadow, like an elastic rope, yanked rapidly towards us!

You can't outrun it!

Realizing this, Su Yu stepped onto the ground and vanished into thin air as if evaporated.

Following closely behind him, a flowing shadow appeared in front of the wall, and then it crashed hard into the wall.

"boom"

The wall remained unmoved, but the shadow writhed and shrank as if it had been severely injured, and faint screams could be heard. Gradually, a music box and a doll emerged from the water.

The doll was even more tattered, and even the music box beneath it stopped working abruptly.
A moment later, the notes leaped up again, and the gray-black shadows flowed, enveloping the doll like mud, sinking it back into the shadows, making it walk with difficulty in the white light, as if trying to find a new way out.

…………

"Su Yu?" someone called in his ear. He looked up and saw it was First Officer Ning.

"I'm fine, just a little seasick!"

Su Yu disregarded her image and sat down in the chair, breathing slightly heavily.

That was really close.

That thing's power was far beyond that of an ordinary malevolent spirit.

Having learned a lot, Su Yu gradually understood that the evil spirits targeted people's souls, so just now, when his spirit entered the space, the evil spirits followed him in.

This was a gamble on the courtyard's defenses, but clearly, the gamble paid off. His body didn't move, but the intense stimulation left him drenched in sweat, even his undergarments were completely soaked.

"They really underestimated it!"

If it weren't for the courtyard, I would definitely have died here.

The Blazing Beam had great potential, but it was ultimately a level 0 spell, clearly insufficient to deal with such a malevolent spirit. However, it worked fine now.

Su Yu's gaze fell upon a dark figure heavily surrounded in the courtyard, and a relaxed smile appeared on his lips.

Catching a turtle in a jar—it's been so long!

How can I not thank them for delivering to my door?

"I hope you can hold on a little longer." Su Yu sincerely thought this, and a faint light flickered between his fingers. The next moment, a white light suddenly appeared in the sky above the courtyard.

"Boom!" The doll's eyes were filled with a bright, clear white light, which exploded in a white blur, followed by a sharp scream.

Although the Blazing Beam is a level 0 spell, it's a different story if the target is a sitting duck.

It won't take long to wear it down!

Hearing the doll's pitiful screams in a girlish voice, Su Yu remained unmoved, only unleashing beams of scorching heat until a "poof" sound and the chilling aura vanished. Only then did he shout, "System!"

As I murmured to myself, a faint golden hourglass floated before my eyes.

The hourglass was only the size of a palm, its light dim yet transparent.

Upon closer inspection, some fine gray dust particles and a rather large gray crystal were visible below.

Yes, it's at least three times bigger than before.

"boom"

The sky was dark, the wind drove the clouds away, and the sea was gloomy and terrifying, with turbid waves surging. However, from a professional point of view, the storm was not actually that big.

A young girl stood on the deck of a lonely ship.

The girl was pretty, but at this moment her face was full of excitement, her eyes were bloodshot, and she seemed to be in a frenzy.

She was on the ship, along with sailors, but the sailors all kept their distance and dared not be with her at all.

A chilling aura was emanating from the girl's body.

More accurately, it emanated from a music box she was holding.

The lingering yin energy seemed to be controlled, forming a pale white mist that flew off in a certain direction.

The girl's lips moved slightly, silently uttering a thought.

The yin energy is forced to obey her because of what she is reciting.

As she watched the distant sea covered in dark clouds and a fierce wind howled, and then a fleet vaguely appeared to crash into it, the girl couldn't help but smile.

"Hehe, blocking and misleading are so easy!" The girl stopped chanting, her gaze returning to the music box in her hand, and she muttered to herself, "As expected of the master, not only did he mark the command ship in advance, but he can also subdue such an evil spirit and create such an object."

The storm in the distance was not caused by this music box, but once marked, the evil spirit could track it directly and even merge with the command ship, guiding the entire Song family fleet into death—and this object was her master's occult experiment.

It was just an experimental subject, yet it possessed such terrifying power.

This made the girl feel proud. As her master's maid, she was already quite capable, and with the help of this music box, annihilating the Song family's fleet would become much easier.

She had already received intelligence before she came.

Su Yu, who refused to obediently accept his death, boarded the Song family's fleet.

The Song family was already in the master's possession. This time, annihilating the Song family's fleet and also taking down Su Yu is a double win!

No, besides killing Su Yu and severely damaging the Song family, we can also obtain the newly discovered island and its wealth. This is a great opportunity to kill three birds with one stone!
Thinking this, the maid relaxed.

The mission was almost complete, and even she couldn't imagine what could possibly happen to cause it to fail.

This mission cannot fail!

What the maid didn't notice was that when she relaxed, the music box she was holding seemed to crack with a "snap".

The music box, which had stopped emitting yin energy, suddenly began to emit black energy again.
