A slime came out of the pillar

Chloe was hurriedly grabbed by Akiko and flew for a while, before he had time to ask about the ghost's situation, he felt the claws loosening him, and he was thrown from a high altitude again, and fell into a foggy town middle.

"Hi—is anyone—"

It was already night, and there was no one on the street, but there were no lights on in the surrounding houses, and the surroundings were completely silent. Chloe changed back into a human form, and tried to knock on the doors of several houses, but there was no response. The whole town seemed to be Like no living thing, it became a dead city.

"Help... help!"

A miserable cry for help came from not far away. Before Chloe could listen carefully, the sound had dissipated in the wind and was nowhere to be found.

[Turn left 500 meters ahead, capture signs of human activities. 】

Chloe rushed to the location reminded by the "Great Sage", only to find that it was a dark dead end.

[I noticed a slight fluctuation of magic essence, and preliminarily speculated that it was a blinding spell, so I can continue to go. 】

The "Great Sage" analyzed calmly. Chloe, who was still hesitating whether to move on, gathered her mind and walked up to the dilapidated brick wall.

Sure enough, the wall was not real. Chloe felt as if he had passed through some kind of barrier, and in the blink of an eye, he came to a flowerbed full of hydrangeas.

With previous experience, Chloe didn't dare to eat it recklessly this time. This flower should be grown privately, and he was afraid that he would lose money if he ate it.

And...smelling the rancid smell mixed with the rich fragrance of flowers, Chloe frowned, and became vigilant, the ghost should be nearby.

He couldn't help looking up - there was a moss-covered path amidst a sea of ​​pink and purple flowers, and at the end of the path he could see a gorgeously decorated house.

When Chloe got closer, he realized that it was a candy house, with walls made of cakes and candies, a roof made of biscuits and cream, and a chimney made of chocolate, which looked quite childlike.

In such a house, in such an environment, with such a strange atmosphere, even a fool can see that something is wrong.

Chloe felt that there was something missing in this house. There should be a sign in front of the door that reads 'There are evil spirits inside, please do not approach'.

...don't tell him there are signs of human activity inside, too.

【Yes. 】

The "Great Sage" calmly affirmed his guess with a calm tone.

Well, Chloe sighed and pushed open the door made of cotton candy.

As soon as the door was opened by him, Chloe felt a strong force pushing him hard into the door.

Pushed off guard, Chloe staggered a few steps forward, stepped on the greasy cream, and fell to the ground with a slap on her face before she could stand still.

He vaguely heard a chuckle from someone, followed by a snap, and the lights turned on, illuminating the originally dark surroundings. Chloe stood up with a chair next to him, only to realize that the light in front of him There was a large European-style dining table, a large cake was placed on the white tablecloth, and an exquisite doll was placed on it, and golden tea sets were neatly placed around the cake.

"It's time for afternoon tea, let's have afternoon tea together~"

The doors on all sides swung open at the same time, and a bunch of people wearing gorgeous princess dresses poured in. They had weird smiles on their faces, held hands and circled around him non-stop, murmuring the same thing in their mouths. In a word.

Chloe stared at one of the people wearing a cake tutu for a long time, rubbed her eyes, and was shocked after confirming that she read it right: "Murata?!"

That's right, it was Murata who passed the final selection with Yoshiyuki Sabito and the others on Mount Fujishiki last time.

Why is he here?

I saw Murata wearing curly blond wig, heavy makeup, and painted his face dead white. If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell who he is.

After being recognized by Chloe, Murata, who was dancing around, froze for a moment, stopped, his expression gradually became normal, he no longer had that smirk, and he gradually came to his senses.

Consciousness slowly returned, Murata blinked, looked around blankly, and after noticing what environment he was in at the moment, his face quickly became ugly, as if he had fallen into extreme fear, and trembled all over .

"Hey! Murata!"

Hearing Chloe's voice, Murata turned his head and looked at him. He was puzzled for three seconds before recognizing who he was: "Cloe? Is it Satoshi's friend Chloe?"

"That's right." The people around Chloe started to tap dance, blocking his and Murata's sight, Chloe could only turn up the volume: "Why are you here? Ghost?"

Mentioning this, Murata's face became terrified again, and it looked particularly funny with the makeup on his face. He tore off his wig in a hurry, and shouted to Chloe: "Go! Mistake! The ghosts here are not something we can defeat! We must send pillars!"

column?

There was another word that Chloe didn't quite understand. Before he had time to ask, he heard singing from somewhere: "My doll is a good doll, with bright eyes and snow-white skin. Yuanyuan Her face is like a baby on a sunny day swaying in the wind..."

Hearing the singing, the people dancing together suddenly stopped moving like dolls that stopped winding. Some stood there quietly with their heads down, while others collapsed limply on the ground with empty eyes. looking upwards.

Chloe just breathed a sigh of relief and escaped from the encirclement, and wanted to ask Murata what he just said, when he sat on the ground trembling with his head in his arms: "Here we go again... Here we go again..."

The lamp above the head made a whining sound, shorted out with a snap, and the room was dimmed for an instant, as if surrounded by a cloud of shadows. The tea set on the table began to tremble slightly, making a crisp crashing sound.

For some reason, Chloe suddenly had a bad feeling.

He glanced at Murata who only dared to stare at the floor, took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and looked towards the ceiling.

Chloe bit her tongue and tried her best not to let herself scream.

The roof was lifted at some point, and at this moment there was a huge face on top of his head, with round eyes wide open, staring at them fixedly, with a vertical line in the blood-red pupil.

I saw those eyeballs move, and smiled secretly at Chloe, the hairs on his whole body stood on end.

"There is a new doll coming, let's start the afternoon tea game together~"

Oh my God.

Chloe screamed silently in her heart.

The ghost in front of him is more than ten times their size. He looks neither male nor female, his face is painted with rouge and he talks and chokes his throat. I saw him reaching into the room and grabbing the people in skirts beside Chloe. , like playing with dolls, let them sit in rows around the table.

This courtyard, this candy house, and the people in the house are all his toys.

"My puppet is a good puppet. Even if it has a severed head, its clear eyes still reflect the blue sky... Huh?" He hummed a song while placing the bodies where they should sit. Just listening to the singing, he noticed Murata squatting aside and trembling.

"Ah, some puppet is not good." He said pretending to be coy, and stretched five fingers towards Murata.

Seeing this scene, Chloe, who was stiff all over, rushed up and wrapped his arms around Murata's neck, and dragged him to run desperately.

The door was blocked, Chloe turned around and ran to another room, he didn't know that the house was so big, they ran past the exquisite kitchen, passed through the luxurious bedrooms, the roof of each room was covered with One by one, the ghost's eyes kept chasing them.

"Hide-and-seek game, let's play hide-and-seek together~" I only heard the ghost's voice slowly coming from behind, watching Chloe scurry around the room like a headless fly, clapping her hands and singing again A song: "Little mouse, loves to make trouble..."

This ghost may have some kind of mental illness.

Chloe ran into the dressing room, the luxurious wardrobe was wide open, and there were skeletons that had been sucked dry inside. Each skeleton was covered with a beautiful and elegant dress, which looked very cold and extremely cold. weird.

Murata fainted at some point, and Chloe wanted to do the same.

The ghost behind him finally got impatient. He grabbed the whole house and dumped all the things in the house like taking out garbage. Chloe felt that his feet were hanging in the air as he ran, and he fell headfirst. All kinds of furniture fell to the ground together.

Chloe felt a strong sense of oppression. The ghost was already very close, and Chloe finally saw his gender. It was obviously a man with loose hair and wearing a kimono, but he still looked like a ghost. Murata, who was unconscious beside him, was dressed elegantly and exquisitely.

Seeing that hand getting closer and closer to her, Chloe suddenly remembered a very important thing.

He can neither feel pain nor be injured, why on earth should he run?

Probably the inner fear was strengthened by this terrifying atmosphere.

Shaking her head and cursing herself for being stupid, Chloe took a few deep breaths, changed her fearful appearance before, and suddenly attacked the ghost.

During his escape just now, he had decomposed and purified the forging knife raw materials he obtained as much as possible, and made the most suitable weapon for him.

I saw his right arm turned into a sharp sun wheel knife, and swung it straight towards the ghost's arm at an extremely fast speed.

The knife flashed, but the ghost was still intact.

Chloe's eyes widened in disbelief, and before she could realize what was going on, she was slapped by the ghost and sent flying more than ten meters away.

Fortunately, he didn't feel any pain, and he didn't have any damage except for his dirty clothes. He got up immediately after falling heavily on the ground.

He watched his knife cut it down, why wasn't the ghost injured?

To prove it, Chloe slashed at the ghost's hand that was attacking him, and was shot flying again as expected.

Chloe is like an unkillable xiaoqiang. He slashed back and forth more than a dozen times. The ghost was already getting bored, and he slammed it down and fell to the ground desperately. If ordinary people followed his style of play, he would have died up.

What is going on?Why can't he cut this ghost?

"jijiji!"

Just as Chloe was thinking rapidly, he suddenly saw a few muscular mice running towards him. They all wore headscarves studded with many diamond beads on their heads, and carried a cloth on their hands. baby.

Chloe recognized it as the doll that had been placed on the cake in the house earlier.

Although it was only for a short moment, he could feel the aura of magic energy fluctuations from that doll.

Yes, it could be this.

He conjured up a small sun wheel knife, held it in his hand, aimed at the target, and quickly threw it towards the doll.

"whee."

The doll who was stabbed by the knife let out a weird laugh, which echoed everywhere, and the surrounding scene began to slowly shatter. The garden with flowers turned into a dilapidated brick house, with cobwebs all over the corners, and the incomplete wooden furniture crumbling here and there. , five or six members of the Demon Slayer Squad collapsed to the side, seemingly unconscious, and Murata was also lying there.

"Sure enough, the courtyard and the house just now were all hallucinations created by the blood ghost technique."

When he swung the knife down, he didn't have the physical feeling of cutting the object at all, no wonder he always had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Footsteps came from behind him, Chloe turned around, it was the ghost just now, but now he has returned to normal height, only a little taller than him.

Chloe, who had fought a few rounds with the huge ghost just now, was no longer afraid. He stood up at this moment, looked at the ghost in front of him warily, and his hands were ready to mimic the sun wheel knife at any time.

"Why do you have to wake up? Wouldn't it be nice to die in a hallucination?" He was holding a marionette in his hand, which was the one that Chloe had just impaled, and was staring at him at the moment. There was still that creepy smile on his face.

Chloe didn't reply, but just backed away silently.

"It's too late to escape now? You and these children on the ground will be my new doll!"

The light was still dim, but Chloe could vaguely see a few words engraved on his blood-red pupils, next...what the hell?

Chloe didn't have time to take a closer look, because he had already retreated to the corner.

The ghost in front of him was also approaching step by step, and his expression became more and more ferocious. In the next moment, a few puppet strings appeared in his other hand, and they were whipped towards Chloe like a whip.

This trick is very good.

Chloe's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't dodge the opponent's attack, but just stood there, letting the puppet thread hit his body. His body was cut apart by the puppet thread like liquid glue. Then quickly glued together.

What's going on with this guy... The body can actually regenerate, is he also a ghost?

Xia Xian Er, who found that his attack was completely ineffective, felt a flash of astonishment, and increased the speed and number of attacks, but it didn't help, he couldn't hurt the person in front of him at all.

Just when he was confused about why his tricks didn't work, Chloe, who stood silently opposite, suddenly reached out and grabbed the spider webs on the side, and crumpled them into a ball in his hand, as if he had done a lot of mental work Like a struggle, he stuffed it into his mouth with his eyes closed.

"Thanks to you, I came up with a great idea."

[Confirmation is complete, the new skill "Spider Silk" has been obtained, will it be fused with "Iron Ore" into a new skill "Steel Spider Silk"? YES/NO]

"Huh? Are you crazy because you gave up resisting?" The ghost on the other side made a mocking sound, and the doll in his hand also jumped up and bit him, but it didn't taste the bloody smell it longed for, because it bit It's just a sun wheel knife that is too hard.

"It's useless." Seeing the doll gnaw a row of teeth and roll on the ground in pain, Chloe said indifferently, "Any part of my body can become a solar knife, you are the wounded Not mine."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, and several extremely flexible steel wires burst out from his palm, binding Xiaxian Er and the doll on the ground tightly at a very fast speed.

Chloe is obviously much more proficient at this move than the Sun Wheel Knife he used before. He looked at the ghost who was struggling to get out of the wire bondage, and his tone was a little proud: "It's useless, you know I used this move to defeat the ghost." How many ghosts?"

Although they are not of the same breed, they can also be added to the record. Anyway, they are all defeated, no difference.

Xia Xian Er who was bound stared at him with blood-red eyes, gritted his teeth and looked at him viciously, his body was constantly growing, as if he wanted to escape from the shackles of the steel wire.

A burning smell gradually permeated, Chloe saw Xia Xianer's terrified appearance, and reminded him kindly: "I advise you not to move, this steel wire is mixed with the ore I just picked from the sun. The temperature might be a little high."

After all, his stomach bag can always maintain the original state of the object, that is to say, those ores will always maintain the high temperature when absorbing the sun.

"Okay, the next step is..."

Chloe stretched out her left hand that had turned into a sun blade, stepped forward a few steps, and slashed towards his neck with her eyes closed.

"Chong-"

When the Hilun Saber touched Xiaxian Er's neck, it broke into two abruptly, and the blade vibrated and let out a mournful cry.

"Hahaha, it's useless, my neck can't be cut off easily with such a rotten knife!" The ghost lying on the ground laughed wildly, and began to provoke: "Wait, my puppet is finished killing The people on the other side will come and finish you off later!"

The remaining half of the blade turned back into a complete left hand. Chloe shook her head helplessly, looking at the ghost who was still mocking him ignorantly, her eyes filled with an inexplicable sense of mourning.

Then he turned around silently, and three seconds later, a saw appeared in his hand. Looking at the black blade, it was obviously made of the material of the sun wheel knife.

"Oh, it's a pity that time is limited, I can't make a chainsaw." Chloe sighed with feigned regret, stepped on the ghost's body with one foot to prevent him from moving around, and persuaded him with kind words : "I think you might as well be cut off by me, so as not to suffer further."

After finishing speaking, the knife was raised and dropped, and after a few bangs, the ghost rolled its eyes and foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground without moving.

Chloe stared at him for a while, and after confirming that the other party was unconscious, she dragged him out of the room with confidence.

Different from the courtyard just now, the scene outside the house is very dilapidated. There is only an old tree that has completely withered. Chloe hung the ghost on the tree, tied a knot, and reinforced a few turns of steel wire around him. relieved.

He didn't have special training, just holding the sun wheel knife, he really didn't have enough strength to kill the ghost with one blow.

At present, there is no analyzed wisteria flower in his body, nor can he use poison to kill the opponent in one blow. As for using a saw to cut off bit by bit - it's too bloody, so he can't do it himself, okay?The hand holding the saw was shaking just now!

Now there is only one way left, wait for the sunrise.

After tying up the ghosts, Chloe clapped her hands, turned around to check if the team members were injured, only to hear a few noises, and the group of muscular mice that had just appeared in the hallucination appeared again at his feet.

Um?what happened?

Before Chloe had time to react, she heard a bang, and the sound of the explosion rang in her ears, and she saw billowing smoke in another room in the courtyard, and a man in a blue and white veil rushed out of it. Silver-haired man.

"Gorgeously solved the remaining hidden dangers, and the next step is the real end!"

Although the man was tall and strong, he was very handsome and handsome, and it was surprisingly harmonious with that gorgeous princess outfit.

and many more……

Inexplicably familiar with this outfit, Chloe turned her head to look at the mice at her feet, then turned her head to look up and down carefully at the silver-haired man, suddenly snapped her hand in surprise, pointed at him and said loudly: " I know you!"

"You are Cinderella, right?"
