Chapter 196 to show one's power
Chapter 196 to show one's power
The old opera character became more and more engrossed in singing, waving the tattered sleeves of his robe in the air, his expression filled with intense pain.David was taken aback. He didn't expect this guy to be able to speak like a normal person, albeit intermittently. Compared to the zombies that only sneered, he was like a bug. This immediately made David understand the opponent's strength. Combined with the eerie and miserable aura emanating from him, David felt that his power was even more terrifying than a typical esper.
At that moment, the old opera character opened his mouth again. "Look at my face, changed by the torment. Look at me, wrongly accused, when will justice be served? From now on, sever the ties between us. I'll wait for you at the gates of the netherworld after I die." His voice became increasingly mournful, and blood started flowing from his eyes.
With each line he sang, the young zombie on the side of the stage struck the drum, and the more than a hundred zombies below began to restlessly stir. It was evident that they were being controlled by the sound of the drum.
"Wuwu..." At that moment, David suddenly heard sobbing beside him. He quickly turned his head and saw that Sophie and Sally's faces were now covered in tears. Arnold, Duke, and Charles also remained motionless, gazing at the old opera character on the stage, their expressions filled with pain.
"This is bad!" David muttered to himself, his expression turning serious. He didn't expect his team members to be manipulated by the drumbeat. Meanwhile, Sophie and Sally's footsteps began to slowly move, attempting to approach the stage.
Upon seeing this, David immediately took out a Gene Fruit and broke it into two pieces, stuffing them into the mouths of the two. As the Gene Fruit turned into juice and entered their stomachs, the two gradually regained their senses.
"What happened to me? Why did I suddenly burst into tears for no reason?" Sally wiped the tears from her face and asked in confusion. The modified Gene Fruit helped enhance their focus, freeing them from the control of the old opera character and the drumbeat.
"Quick, give them the Gene Fruit!" David instructed the others.
Arnold and the others also slowly snapped out of it, their faces filled with horror as they looked at the old opera character on the stage. If it weren't for David's timely intervention, they would have likely ended up sitting among the zombies, becoming one of them.
At this moment, David focused his gaze on the more than a hundred zombies below the stage. He noticed that some of them hadn't begun to decay, and their clothes remained intact. It was evident that they had recently become zombies and had been manipulated by the individuals on stage. Zombies capable of manipulating normal people, and even espers?
David looked at the three individuals on stage with a cold expression. At that moment, the old opera character finally stopped. After scanning the zombies, he inadvertently glanced at David and the others, revealing a trace of malice in his eyes. However, he quickly walked to the side of the child zombie and continued to look towards the other side of the stage.
"Is there more?" David furrowed his brow.
Soon, a remarkably melodious voice came from behind the curtains. Then, a woman wearing a bright red opera costume and embroidered red shoes suddenly appeared before his eyes. Just as he glanced at her, David suddenly felt a trance-like sensation, but he quickly regained his composure.
However, when the other team members' gazes met the woman, their bodies froze, and they began walking towards the vacant seats in front of her. Their speed was so fast that it didn't give David any time to intervene. In the blink of an eye, the five of them were sitting among the crowd of zombies, becoming their members. Cola and Little Black also lay on the ground, beginning to fall into a deep sleep.
David initially wanted to rush over and pull his teammates out, but the woman on stage burst into laughter once again and then began singing, just like the old opera character before.
"Heartless man, how miserable I am! You abandoned me, how cruel you are! In this life, you shall not die peacefully! In the next life, you shall become an ox or a horse!" Similar to before, the atmosphere instantly turned tragic. Tears welled up in Sally and Sophie's eyes once again, and Charles and the others were the same.
David knew that the woman's manipulation was much stronger than that of the previous three. She was likely the most powerful among them. However, this kind of manipulation seemed to have no effect on David.
After all, David had awakened three different sequential abilities, and one of them was the Mental series. Even though his Mental abilities were not powerful before Level 10, with David's level, he could easily resist the manipulation. The woman stopped singing this time, raised her head, and looked at David.After sneering a few times, she suddenly asked, "Are you that heartless man? Why do you disregard us like this?"
As she spoke, the other three individuals on the stage also stood up, staring intently at David. David remained calm, looking back at them without saying a word, but the Space Blades slowly appeared in his hands.
Enraged, the child zombie pointed at David and roared, "Why didn't you applaud earlier? Was my performance not good enough?"He seemed as if he wanted to devour David right now. The old opera character also took a step forward, pointing his broken fingers at David and saying, "Was my acting not good enough? Wasn't my suffering enough?"
As he spoke, the young zombie struck the drum heavily once again. David continued to watch their performance with cold eyes. The woman then moved her footsteps, waving her water sleeve towards a dilapidated house in the distance. "Boom!" Amidst her mocking laughter, the house suddenly collapsed into a pile of rubble. Rising dust floated in the air, obscuring the dim moonlight.
David merely glanced at it and shook his head. "A show of strength?" He didn't even consider the woman a threat. Now he only wanted to rescue his teammates. He looked at Sally and the others, then walked towards them without hesitation. He first reached out and pulled Arnold, but Arnold remained motionless, staring blankly at the woman on stage with an expression of sorrow. No matter how David pulled him, he didn't budge.
"You, so fond of watching plays, I'll let you have your fill when we get back." David said with a bitter smile.
However, at that moment, the child zombie was completely enraged by David's actions. "You're a bad person! You're not allowed to harm our audience!" As soon as he finished speaking, he flew towards David with a fierce expression!
David lifted his head, glanced at him, and then reached out his hand in the void, fiercely gripping the body that was flying towards him! Space suddenly twisted, creating a chilling spatial vortex! In the blink of an eye, the child zombie was twisted into the vortex. As he entered the spatial vortex, his body was torn apart by David, falling to the ground in two halves.
