348. Toxic Coin

"Sir, we will immediately send men to search the entire island and we will definitely catch the culprit!"

Inside the yamen, the head of the Island Magistrate's magistrate flattered Lei Thunder.

"Alright, you can all leave now."

Thunder could not hide his disgust and waved them away.

He didn't want to deal with these foreign humans, but he had to admit that sometimes, these foolish humans were quite useful.

Holding the token of the Wa Island Grand Shrine, they believed him after he said just a few words. Thunder was now only glad that he had learned some knowledge of this foreign land, so that he could find a reason to arrest these two people in time.

He didn't intend to stay here long. All Thunder needed to do was issue wanted posters on all the islands here, and the humans would start searching for Thunder witch on their own. Thunder felt a little pleased as he watched them about to crush his own hopes.

"That guy is indeed too impulsive and not smart enough. He only thinks about himself. If he could understand more, he would have a completely different approach."

Thunder thought of his fallen companion.

He took the coin out of his body again, and watching as the surface of the coin gradually turned black, as if it had been corroded, Thunder put it away.

"Time is running out."

As a last resort, Thunder were reluctant to use the coin because of its high value and significant side effects; however, they believed it was worthwhile in order to complete this challenging mission.

As he was pondering, Thunder heard a commotion outside.

"Why don't these humans understand the meaning of quiet?"

Thunder Door Opening, about to burst into a tirade, when he saw several Island Magistrate, including the one in charge from earlier, fly into the air and crash to the ground, breaking several bones.

The man Island Magistrate was wailing was a samurai-like figure.

He was holding a crowbar, which appeared to be completely undamaged.

"If I were to say something like 'XXX is here to punish us,' followed by a shout of 'Heavenly Punishment,' wouldn't it turn into a period drama?"

Lu Ban muttered to himself at this moment.

"They actually came to us on their own initiative?"

Thunder recognized him at a glance; this must be an enemy Chosen of the Gods, the one who killed his companion.

Without hesitation, the bandages on his body came undone, and Gray Fog spread. Everything it touched began to age and wither, while the Island Magistrate who were near him quickly aged and shriveled, as if they had been drained dry.

At the same time, Thunder secretly tossed out a music box. The music box opened automatically as soon as it landed, and a pleasant melody came out. After a moment, the melody would turn into a strange tune, causing everyone's consciousness to freeze.

In addition, Thunder has already extended part of its body outside the yard, so if anything goes wrong, it can immediately cut off its tail and escape, making it the best course of action.

That's why he's survived to this day; that's his sound strategy.

However, Lu Ban didn't seem to have moved at all.

He only uttered one word.

"Laika".

The next moment, from nowhere, a hideous and terrifying monster full of eyeballs and tentacles burst out and pounced on Thunder.

Thunder reacted swiftly, immediately dispersing its Gray Fog. At the same time, the music box's music became distorted and shrill, like the sharp sound of fingernails scraping against a blackboard and glass. The Island Magistrate who were still conscious covered their ears in Affliction, their movements becoming sluggish.

The speed of the Laika did not decrease at all.

The outstretched tentacles grasped at the Gray Fog, only to miss their target.

The Gray Fog seemed to be able to resist physical attacks, which somewhat hindered Laika's movements.

But Lu Ban had already raised his left hand.

The silver pistol that materialized in his hand, visible only to himself, emitted Speech Bullet from its muzzle.

The silver bullet struck the Gray Fog instantly.

As far as Lu Ban's "Last Words" were concerned, no matter how the Gray Fog changed shape, it could not escape the attack of the Speech Bullet.

In an instant, Thunder's head began to buzz.

Countless murmurs flooded his mind, causing him to become delirious and lose his reason.

Thunder saw that Lu Ban remained unmoved by the music box's melody.

This is a bewitching sound that would affect any normal person!

What method does he have? Yes, these are Hound, how can he control Hound? Who is this guy?

Thunder tried to maintain his consciousness through focused thought, but the grand, indifferent, and maddening murmur filled every inch of his body, causing the Gray Fog to writhe and extend tentacles like an octopus.

He knew perfectly well that he was hurtling toward the monster and there was absolutely no way to stop it.

Once alienation begins, there is no turning back.

From that cloud of smoke emerged many strange things: a horn made of twisted conch shells, a hideous and eerie statue, a notebook with a black cover, green gem crystals, and so on.

Each of these things exuded an extraordinary and eerie aura, but before they could fall, they were absorbed back by the cloud of Gray Fog.

Including the music box on the ground, all the extraordinary items were combined and assembled into a peculiar mask.

The mask had no facial features, only twisted and uneven scars. Anyone who saw it would feel disgusted and uncomfortable. Lu Ban saw that, in addition to the mask, there was also a black coin.

The coin looked like it had been infected with toxins; it was covered in mold-like grime, making it impossible to discern its original pattern.

The moment Lu Ban saw the coin, it seemed somewhat familiar.

He hurriedly picked up the mask, while the dust on the ground formed the system's cold, indifferent text.

[Hostile invading Chosen of the Gods found: 2/2]

[Kill the hostile invading Chosen of the Gods: 2/2]

It looks like that Bandaged Man is definitely dead.

Lu Ban saw the system's text slowly appear on the mask.

Twisted Mask of Pain

[Unidentified]

[Appraisal Price: 100 Silence Points]

"???"

God the hell, it needs to be authenticated.

One hundred points is nothing to Lu Ban at the moment, but before he could choose to appraise it, he saw that some black shadows were released from the coin.

These shadows gripped the surviving Island Magistrate tightly, and upon contact, their forms rapidly collapsed into a mass of flesh. Then, that flesh quickly reformed, becoming half-human, twisted, and disgusting monsters.

Lu Ban was very familiar with the appearance of these monsters.

He saw that on the coin, more shadows coalesced, forming a monster with millions of eyes that was gradually expanding.

By this point, Lu Ban was completely certain.

These things are Corrupted Ones.

It is the culprit that has plagued the world of Harmony Island for thousands of years.

The Bandaged Man's coin summoned these things into this world.
