Chapter 22 The Haunted Soul Seeks Death
Chapter 22 The Haunted Soul Seeks Death
Waaah—!
Chen Jie lightly made a hand seal with his fingers, and his internal magical power quietly circulated.
A soul-refining banner, no bigger than a palm, appeared out of thin air. It fluttered in the wind and instantly grew to a foot in length, its surface faintly radiating a dark, malevolent aura.
next moment,
The Soul Refining Banner trembled slightly, and two blurry phantoms slowly drifted out from the banner.
These are the two main souls refined within the Soul Refining Banner.
Now that his main soul has advanced to the fifth rank, his body is filled with a fierce and chilling aura.
As their strength grew, the divine imprints that Chen Jie had engraved on their souls became increasingly profound.
They have become Chen Jie's most loyal companions, and also his sharpest and most secretive killing weapons.
The moment the two main souls emerged from the Soul Refining Banner, the air around the rooftop suddenly turned icy cold.
Although they are much more solid than before, they are still not physical entities. Their forms are elusive, and they can easily penetrate any obstacle, taking lives silently.
Whoosh-!
Under Chen Jie's mental control, the two main souls transformed into two wisps of black smoke, and with a flash, they sped towards the Emperor's Nightclub across the street.
At this moment, Chen Jie's face showed no emotion whatsoever; he was as cold and indifferent as ice.
Only by keeping his eyes fixed on the opposite side can he maintain control of everything.
The two main souls passed through the nightclub walls without any hindrance and silently slipped into the VIP room on the sixth floor opposite.
It left no trace, as if it had never existed.
at this time,
Inside the private room, Zhao Wentao was already completely drunk, his eyes bloodshot and his mind in a daze.
He stumbled into the restroom of the private room, his arm around the hostess beside him, his eyes filled with a dazed and greedy look.
Sizzle—!
A sound like fabric tearing rang out.
Zhao Wentao suddenly grabbed the red dress off the hostess, and the dress ripped open with a snap...
His expression grew increasingly agitated, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was filled with greed and violence, revealing his ugly side.
The hostesses are already used to this.
For her, as long as the money is right, she can meet any request from her clients.
Even before entering the restroom, Zhao Wentao had already tossed her 10,000 yuan in cash.
So she didn't resist at all, nor did she scream; she simply obediently cooperated with Zhao Wentao's actions.
But soon, the hostess sensed that something was wrong.
Zhao Wentao's breathing became increasingly rapid and heavy.
His once powerful body suddenly stiffened, and he stopped moving.
now,
A malevolent spirit silently drifted to the top of Zhao Wentao's head, its dark shadow enveloping his entire body.
Then,
An extreme chill suddenly invaded his skull, spreading rapidly along his meridians to his entire body, instantly engulfing his limbs and bones.
in the blink of an eye,
Zhao Wentao's body stiffened completely, his blood seemed to freeze instantly, and even his breathing stopped.
hiss--!
Zhao Wentao's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of extreme shock and fear flashed in his eyes.
He wanted to shout for help and struggle to get up.
But his body seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move an inch or make any sound.
He could clearly feel his body becoming numb and completely losing control.
They could even sense that their consciousness was being enveloped by a cold, illusory shadow, slowly detaching from their body and falling into the boundless darkness.
Thump—thump—!
As his consciousness gradually left his body, Zhao Wentao's heartbeat began to slow down, the rhythm of the beating became weaker and weaker, and finally stopped completely, without any further movement.
There was no fierce fighting, no hysterical screams!
There wasn't even a sound; everything was completely silent.
Zhao Wentao's body first stiffened as he lay on top of the hostess, then slumped down limply.
His face turned ashen, his lips turned purple, and his eyes stared wide open like a bull's, fixed on what lay ahead.
The expression on his face will forever be frozen in that final moment of terror and resentment.
He had no external injuries and showed no signs of poisoning.
At first glance, it looked as if he had suffered a sudden cardiac arrest due to excessive excitement and alcohol consumption, resulting in a state of extreme euphoria.
In medicine,
This condition has a professional name—myocardial infarction.
Inside the private room at this moment,
The core management of Oulina Jewelry Store continued to clink glasses and make noise, with the sounds of drinking games and flattery rising and falling.
Everyone knew perfectly well that Mr. Zhao had taken the hostesses to the restroom to "do business."
So no one noticed anything unusual about their surroundings and remained immersed in their extravagant pleasures.
"ah--!"
Suddenly, a piercing scream came from the restroom, shattering the noise in the private room.
next moment,
The hostess ran out of the restroom in a panic.
Her face was deathly pale, she was trembling all over, and her eyes were filled with fear.
Upon seeing this, everyone quickly put down their glasses and rushed into the restroom.
When I touched Zhao Wentao's body, which had already begun to cool down and become stiff.
Someone couldn't help but shout in alarm, "Mr. Zhao! Wake up! Mr. Zhao, what's wrong? Wake up!"
When everyone present saw Zhao Wentao's lifeless appearance and wide-open eyes, they were completely panicked.
Some people hurriedly reached out to check his breathing, some frantically touched his carotid artery, and others desperately pinched his philtrum in an attempt to wake him up.
But all of this was in vain.
After a while,
An older middle-aged man's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his voice trembled with barely concealed horror as he said:
"He's not breathing! Mr. Zhao... Mr. Zhao is dead!"
Whoosh—!
The entire private room instantly descended into chaos, filled with screams and shouts of panic.
Some people frantically pulled out their phones to call the police, while others shook Zhao Wentao's body frantically, clinging to their last glimmer of hope.
A group of people surrounded the hostess, demanding an explanation of what had just happened.
The private room was completely undamaged, with no signs of outsiders entering or any indication of a struggle.
Zhao Wentao's death appeared to be completely unexpected and extremely bizarre.
quickly,
Upon hearing the news, staff from the Emperor Nightclub rushed over, calming everyone down while quickly dialing the hospital's emergency number.
At the same time, confirm the alarm again and wait for the police and medical personnel to arrive.
at the same time,
On the top floor of the Emperor's Nightclub, Zhao Liheng had just finished taking his medication and was in a state of extreme excitement.
His eyes were unfocused, his consciousness was blurred, as if he were in a sea of fire.
He felt an unusual heat around him and his whole body was restless.
He muttered to himself in a frenzied tone, his expression extremely insane.
next moment,
He staggered to the edge of the rooftop, spread his arms, and shouted wildly at the night sky, venting the restlessness within him.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
at this time,
The piercing sound of police sirens came from afar, followed by the wailing of ambulances, growing louder as they approached.
The already brightly lit Emperor Nightclub became even more lively, with bright lights and a cacophony of voices.
"Look! There's someone on the rooftop!"
Someone shouted something, and the crowd of onlookers downstairs, as well as the medical staff and police who rushed over, all looked up at the rooftop.
Zhao Liheng was standing on the edge of the rooftop, twisting his body wildly.
That hysterical excitement made him completely forget everything, including his fear.
