NOVEL WEB Chapter 2
Inoue Orihime’s House
“You are one of the top three students in the grade, but you ask me to give you extra lessons and do your homework every day. What is your intention?”
“Could it be that he wants to get close to Orihime through me?”
Long Gui stuffed his mouth with rice balls, and looked at Lin Yi, who was smiling and looked harmless.
He was like guarding against thieves.
“I’m warning you, don’t set your sights on Orihime!”
“She is my good friend, and I will not allow anyone to disturb her life until she graduates successfully!”
“Even if you are a top student, Ye Shen Lin Yi can’t do that! Do you understand?”
“Oh my! Long Gui, what are you talking about? You are the study committee member of our class. If we have any problems with our studies, of course we have to find you!”
“You can’t discriminate against me just because I’m in the top three in the grade and my academic performance is better than yours. You can’t be on guard against me just because I’m too handsome!”
“”Hmph! That’d better be! Otherwise, I won’t let you off easily!”
Long Gui took a big bite of the rice ball in his hand, and his right cheek bulged into a ball shape, which looked quite cute.
Lin Yi didn’t take her threat seriously.
The psychic could only let him see spirits, and did not give him the ability to feel the surrounding spirits through the spiritual network.
Thinking about the upcoming direct contact with the void, his heart was excited but also mixed with uneasiness.
So he was always alert to the surroundings.
Beware that the void spirits would suddenly appear from somewhere and attack them.
The whole living room was tidy and clean, without too many furnishings.
Only a black-and-white photo and an incense burner were enshrined on the table on the side, which made him look at it a few more times.
The photo showed a young man with a gentle smile.
He had a delicate face, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Inoue Orihime.
It was Inoue Hao, the brother who depended on Inoue Orihime for life and passed away two years ago.
“Ah!!!”
A scream came from the kitchen.
Lin Yi put away his smile and quickly stood up with Long Gui to check the situation.
“What happened? Orihime, are you okay?”Long Gui asked.
Lin Yi looked around the kitchen and found no trace of the Hollow.
He only saw Inoue Orihime covering her hand and looking at the two of them with an awkward expression.
“No, sorry, I wanted to make two cups of hot tea for Long Gui and Ye Shen, but I was so stupid that I accidentally got burned.……”
“I’m sorry to have made you worry…~！”
As he spoke, he bowed 90 degrees to the two of them.
“You idiot, why do you need to apologize for something like this! Tell me where the medical kit is? I’ll treat you!”
Long Gui helped Zhiji up and walked towards the living room.
“There’s a case over there, thank you Long Gui for your help!”
“Idiot, I am your good friend, so stop saying these polite words to me in the future!”
“Oh! Okay, I will pay attention next time… Hehe……”
Seeing Inoue Orihime looking confused, Lin Yi couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh silently.
“Hungry……”
“I’m so hungry!”
The gloomy and hoarse voice suddenly echoed in the room.
The temperature around me dropped by more than ten degrees in an instant.
“I am so sad……”
“So lonely!”
“How come you forgot me?”
“How could you forget me……”
Sounds were heard from all directions.
Many things in the room fell to the ground or suddenly exploded and broke.
The spirits seemed to be constantly swimming around the room.
“Long Gui, you and Zhi Ji quickly spread out! Find a chance to escape!”
Lin Yi picked up a fruit knife and looked around vigilantly.
Compared to the whole spirits he had encountered, the hollow spirits were more gloomy and full of oppression, which made people shudder.
“I can’t… move, what’s going on?”
“What a strange feeling… What happened to Yagami?”
Orihime and Ryuki froze in place, unable to move their hands and feet.
They could not see the Hollow, nor could they hear its words. They could only feel the fear as if a large hand was gripping their throats.
“Ah!!!”
The roar of the virtual spirit was between that of a human and a beast. Even ordinary people who couldn’t see or hear it could feel its oppression and pain from this special sound wave frequency.
~……
Longgui and Zhiji could no longer hold on and fell to the ground. They were locked in by the powerful spiritual pressure of the Hollow, and it was difficult for them to even move their fingers.
“Finally… I found you!”
Ripples appeared on Inoue Hao’s portrait, and his gentle smile turned ferocious.
“quick……”
“”Run away! Lin Yi!”
Long Gui didn’t know what happened, but instinctively felt that it was very dangerous to stay here.
When the danger came, she asked Lin Yi to run away. She hugged Zhiji tightly and protected her in her arms.
Bang!
The portrait was twisted to form a black hole, and a claw more than one meter long swung out suddenly.
Long Gui and Zhiji were swept away.
Everything sounds complicated, but it happened in just a few seconds.
Lin Yi, who came back to his senses, hurried to check the injuries of the two.
Long Gui was hit head-on, his left arm was bleeding, and he fell into a coma.
Zhiji was knocked away and broke her forehead. At this time, her consciousness was a little blurred.
“Ho ho ho ho ho……”
“Another delicious soul!”
“very hungry……”
A snake-like ghost wearing a bone mask and a pair of sharp claws crawled out of the black hole.
There was also a bowl-sized hole on its chest.
“Let me drag out your souls and eat them one bite at a time!”
Xu Ling’s hollow eyes turned red, and he shouted and swung his claws to grab Lin Yi and the other two.
“”Inoue Hao!”
Lin Yi shouted, staring directly at the spirit, and opened his spiritual eyes.
The whites of his eyes were filled with dark green. His pupils were a dazzling golden color.
It looked weird and seductive.
The red in the spirit’s eyes faded instantly, as if it was frozen.
Its claws hovered not far in front of Lin Yi, trembling slightly.
Lin Yi shouted:
“Inoue Hao!”
“Do you want to hurt your sister, Inoue Orihime, whom you have always protected and loved?”
“Is this how you treat your brother?!”
Xu Ling trembled and stepped back, holding his head with his claws.
Then he slapped it frantically.
“You…what did you call me?……”
“who I am……”
“who I am?”
“who I am?”
……
Bang!
The skeleton mask shattered, revealing a confused and painful face.
It was Inoue Hao.
“Orihime!”
At this moment, Inoue Hao seemed to have regained consciousness.
Seeing the unconscious Inoue Orihime frowning in pain, curled up on the ground, he felt distressed.
He wanted to get closer, but when he saw his monster-like claws, he shrank back.
“I’m sorry, Orihime, I didn’t really mean to hurt you.……”
“Brother just can’t help it…I want to see you again!”
“I’m sorry!”
Tears kept falling from Inoue Hao’s eyes.
【Ding! Beyonder characteristics and spiritual materials detected. Do you want to extract them?】
“Extract!”
After Lin gave the order, thousands of blue spiritual energy flowed out from his chest, surrounding the broken mask and Inoue Hao’s tears.
Another spiritual energy pierced into Inoue Hao’s brow without warning, pulling out a palm-sized fragment that glowed white.
Together, they were collected into the source space formed by the collapsed jade.
【Extraction successful! Start to deduce the next sequence……】
【In progress……】
