Godslayer: I am the agent of King of Glory heroes
Chapter 49 The Sound Hunter
Jiang Shiyuan peeked around furtively, and after confirming that the headless man had left, she returned to Molly's side, speaking in a very soft voice, "We hid just now, and the door wasn't closed, but that headless man didn't even notice us. I think his perception ability is related to sound; he might determine his location through the fluctuations generated by audio."
Molly nodded, and Jiang Shiyuan continued, "There are still sounds downstairs. We must go downstairs to help them and tell them not to make any noise."
Molly nodded again, and the two tiptoed back downstairs to look for the first scream. Unfortunately, the person who had screamed was already a corpse. There were three other corpses lying not far away, clearly killed at the same time.
Molly tensed her muscles and clenched her teeth to keep herself from making a sound.
The headless man is now on an unknown floor, but he could return at any time. They bypassed the corpse and checked each dormitory room one by one, peering through the cracks in the doors to see if anyone was inside.
Suddenly, Molly saw two girls nervously watching the door through the crack in the door, and she gestured to Jiang Shiyuan.
Jiang Shiyuan walked over, pressed his lips against the crack in the door, and spoke almost in a whisper, "Hello! I'm a new recruit from the dormitory building. There's something mysterious outside. Please let us in!"
The door opened, and Jiang Shiyuan and Molly slipped in. Just as they were about to speak, one of the girls made a stop gesture. A faint light flashed at her fingertips, and then a soft, melodious voice rang in Jiang Shiyuan's mind.
"My forbidden realm can be linked to mental energy, so don't make a sound."
Jiang Shiyuan was overjoyed. He had found a key figure right at the start of the game and possessed a forbidden area that allowed everyone to communicate with each other using their thoughts. This was incredibly lucky.
“We came down to check after hearing screams, but before we could figure out what was going on, the headless man chased us. We escaped by hiding in our dorm room. We suspect the headless man uses sound to determine his location,” Molly said telepathically.
Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded, confirming their guess, "We just saw the headless man killing people in the dormitory. He killed several new recruits who were screaming, and then he was distracted by the noise you made."
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh—" Another scream came from the first floor.
"We need to tell the others this! Let's find a place to unite and minimize casualties!" Jiang Shiyuan opened the door, glanced outside, and said seriously, "The headless man should be on the first floor. We can use the terrain to gather the others. Your Forbidden Ruins are crucial. Are you willing to come with us to rescue them?"
“Okay!” Zhang Xiaoxiao walked firmly to her side. “My name is Zhang Xiaoxiao. I will use my mental power to connect with people as soon as I encounter them.”
When it comes to finding someone, more people aren't necessarily better. Zhang Xiaoxiao's roommate was left in the dorm to wait for them to gather and come back to find her.
The new recruits who remained silent inside realized that the headless man was using sound to find their way. The three of them started searching from the third floor and soon found four more recruits.
Molly gathered them in Zhang Xiaoxiao's dormitory. "You all stay here and wait for us. We'll go down and continue looking for people."
"Wait a minute." A pleasant voice came from the mental link.
“There are quite a few surviving girls in the dormitory. We need to find a base.” A round-faced girl raised her hand, indicating that she was the one who had just said it.
With the addition of Jiang Shiyuan and others, Zhang Xiaoxiao's dormitory now has eight people. The room is not big to begin with, and most of the space is occupied by two military beds. It is a bit crowded for eight people to stand in the aisle next to the beds. There is no extra space in the room to accommodate other people.
Molly nodded in agreement and looked at the round-faced girl, asking, "Is there anywhere in our dormitory building that we can use as a base?"
The round-faced girl must have thought about this problem beforehand, because she immediately said, "There's a hot water room on the right side of the first floor. It's a big, spacious place, and it's on the first floor. If we can find a way out, we can escape in time."
“But the headless man is very likely on the first floor right now,” the girl next to the round-faced girl said with some worry.
“Therefore, one of us must go and distract him.” Jiang Shiyuan looked at Molly. Clearly, Molly was the strongest fighter among them and could hold off a fight if it really broke out. Her Forbidden Void was suitable for covering the rear. If they were to distract the headless man later, she and Molly would be the best choices.
"It's our duty." Molly laughed heartily. "Leave the task of drawing away the headless man to me and Shiyuan."
“But there might be survivors on other floors. Should we go to the fourth floor and gather the others together?” Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
“There are already five of you. More people means more footsteps and a bigger target, which could be more dangerous. Let’s split up and go in batches.” Jiang Shiyuan shook her head. She didn’t think it would be a good idea to put everyone together.
“Our dormitory building has two staircases. We need to split into two groups. You distract the headless man, and we’ll quickly enter the boiler room…” The round-faced girl reached out and drew a map in the air, pointing to the location of the boiler room.
Once everyone knew what they were going to do, Molly gently pushed open the door. They were currently on the third floor, and to get to the first floor, they would have to cross two floors, which would likely lead them to encounter the headless man.
"Let's go." Molly said in the mental link and took the lead, choosing a staircase and carefully descending it, while the remaining five people headed to another staircase.
Jiang Shiyuan and Molly walked very quietly, but not slowly. They wanted to reach the first floor before the others went downstairs and draw the headless man's aggro.
Sure enough, the headless man lingered on the first floor. Jiang Shiyuan stood at the top of the stairs, guessing that the others should have already reached the second floor. So she tightened her grip on Molly's hand and called out in a low voice, "Xing Tian, come and chase me!"
The headless man sensed the sound, his ghostly wandering motion stopped, and then he suddenly erupted.
Jiang Shiyuan and Molly quickly climbed the stairs and led the headless man to the third floor.
"Sizzle sizzle—"
The headless man's large sword scraped against the ground, and sparks could even be seen faintly. Just as the headless man was about to get close to them, Jiang Shiyuan cast [The Descent of the Goddess of Luo].
Blue water appeared out of nowhere, directly repelling the headless man who had already approached. It formed a body of water in the corridor, with half of the headless man's leg sinking into the water. A chilling power spread upwards from his leg, but he was, after all, a 'river' realm cultivator, and he tried to lift his leg out of the water.
Jiang Shiyuan immediately froze it.
"Go," she mouthed, pointing to the stairs at Molly.
On the third floor, only the headless man was still struggling with a body of water. Jiang Shiyuan was now in the 'Pool' realm, and the [Goddess of the Luo River] ability could last for about ten seconds. Soon, the body of water that had trapped the headless man disappeared, leaving only puddles.
"Crackling sound—crackling sound—"
In the corridor, apart from the sound of a large knife scraping against the ground, there was no other sound. The headless man lost his target and began to wander around the third floor.
"Your strength has increased?"
After returning from the holiday, the training camp added practical training exercises, and everyone knew that Jiang Shiyuan was a divine agent.
Molly was fairly familiar with Jiang Shiyuan's Divine Ruins, but she had never seen the [Descent of the Goddess of Luo]. Now that she saw the water flow that Jiang Shiyuan released, she thought it was a new ability he had gained after his realm improved.
Jiang Shiyuan nodded. "This body of water can only last for a few seconds and won't trap it for long, but it's enough."
"Find someone quickly."
The situation on the fourth floor was better; there were no casualties, and they found eight people.
Jiang Shiyuan lowered her voice and told them the headless man's weakness. Then, following the old method, she and Molly went to draw the damage while the others went down the other side of the stairs.
When Jiang Shiyuan and Molly led the headless man to the fourth floor and then quietly slipped down to the second floor, they discovered that there wasn't a single conscious person on the second floor.
"Where is everyone?" Molly was a little confused. The girl on the second floor was probably the first to discover the headless man, so there were the most corpses on the second floor, a total of five. But now there was no one there. Could it be that only five people on the second floor were conscious?
"Go to the boiler room," Jiang Shiyuan pointed downstairs.
After Jiang Shiyuan and Molly arrived safely at the hot water room, they found that the entrance to the hot water room was blocked by two doors that were joined together, and there was an invisible barrier protecting the entire hot water room.
