Song Yixuan craned his neck like a giraffe and suddenly thrust his head in front of the receptionist's face.
The receptionist, unable to see Song Yixuan's hideous appearance, kept shaking her head in a flurry.
Suddenly, Song Yixuan opened his mouth wide and stuck out a blood - red tongue. At the tip of the tongue was a blood - red single eye, which immediately burrowed into the receptionist's mouth.
The receptionist shivered all over as if doused with ice - cold water. When Song Yixuan retracted his tongue from her mouth, a wisp of pale white smoke was brought out. In the air, it took on a human form and looked at the strange world in her eyes in terror.
The giraffe - like Song Yixuan didn't wait for her to scream. He quickly bit the newly - separated soul into his mouth.
"Stop!"
I drew a ghost - suppressing talisman and slapped it towards Song Yixuan. It was obvious that he was going to devour the receptionist's soul and let the clone of the One - Eyed Buddha Mother possess her body.
"Hey, you're so rude!" Mrs. Sun was talking to Song Yixuan. Seeing me suddenly take action, she immediately scowled at me and scolded.
I aimed my hand at the back of Song Yixuan's head because I could clearly see that the clone of the One - Eyed Buddha Mother extended from his skull all the way to his entire spine. As long as I could disperse the pitiful aura of the Buddha Mother in his body, this guy should return to his former scoundrel - like state!
Mrs. Sun, being an ordinary person, naturally couldn't see Song Yixuan's soul body biting the receptionist. She raised her hand and pushed me hard in the chest. I was fully concentrating on dealing with Song Yixuan and never expected her sudden attack. I was instantly pushed off - balance. Si Jiangchen behind me supported my waist with one hand, and with the other hand holding a cigarette, he "snapped" off a piece of ash, which happened to land on Song Yixuan's brow.
"Sizzle"!!
The sound of scorched flesh accompanied a puff of white smoke. Song Yixuan was burned and let out an "ow" sound, then stepped back. His out - stretched head still reluctantly held on to the delicious soul in his mouth.
Si Jiangchen seemed to wave away the smoke around him casually, but it happened to sweep across Song Yixuan's elongated neck, actually cutting his soul body in two.
Song Yixuan could no longer maintain his separated soul. He opened his mouth and let out a shrill scream, then retracted into his body like a snake. And the receptionist's soul managed to break free. I quickly slapped it back into her body.
"Ouch!"
The little girl woke up as if from a nightmare. She screamed, jumped up, opened the door and ran out.
Mrs. Sun still scowled and wanted to blame us. I shook my head. In this situation, she was still so stubborn. Greed had really clouded her eyes!
Si Jiangchen hugged Si Tong and protected me as we followed the receptionist out of the office door.
"You guys, what are you doing?!"
The receptionist who had run out in front of us suddenly let out another scream. There were already many people gathered in front of her... parents waiting for their children, children who should have been training in the classroom, and her colleagues. All of them stared at us coldly as we fled from the office.
"Xia, no shouting or running around in the office area. You're breaking the rules."
A woman wearing the same uniform as the receptionist grinned expressionlessly, showing her pale teeth.
"Director, I... I didn't mean to... Manager Song, he's a monster!!"
It was rare for the receptionist to remember Song Yixuan's terrifying appearance after her soul left her body. She was extremely scared. Even though there were so many people in front of her now, she still felt insecure.
"Nonsense! Manager Song is perfectly fine. How could he be a monster!"
The director glanced at the office behind us.
The receptionist shook her head desperately and was almost in tears. "His neck suddenly stretched so long. It was so scary!"
The terrible pain of teeth digging into her body still clearly remained on her skin.
"His neck was very long...?!"
The director was in her early thirties. Her hair was coiled in a bun at the back of her head. Wearing the dark - blue Taoran Media employee uniform, she looked simple and capable. She frowned as if seriously considering what the receptionist was saying. After two seconds of silence, she suddenly smiled. "Is that so?"
As she spoke, her face suddenly got right in front of the receptionist's face. They weren't far apart originally, with a social distance of about half a meter between them. This sudden move finally made the young receptionist cry.
She was a student majoring in media at university. She was originally glad to have found an internship at a big company like Taoran Media and hoped to expand her network. Who would have thought that on the first day of being assigned to be a front - desk receptionist at the training institution, she would encounter such a terrifying and strange event?
The director didn't lean over to scold the new employee Xia. She really just stretched her neck, just like Song Yixuan.
The only difference was that Song Yixuan only had his soul leave his body, while the director had her whole head pulled off her neck and brought it close to Xia's face with skin and bones still attached. There was no trace of pain on her face. Instead, she giggled and asked, "Is it like this?!"
"Help!!"
The receptionist Xia just wanted to faint now. She prayed in her heart that this was just a nightmare and that everything would return to normal when she opened her eyes again.
But things didn't go as she expected. The director's face was still right in front of her. Her extended cervical vertebra couldn't support her head, and her chin fell on Xia's shoulder. Her mouth still exuded a bloody smell as she said to her, "You came late, so you don't know the state of our employees... We're all like this!! And you, in the future, will be no exception!"
As she spoke, all the people around them stretched their necks and stared at her with malicious smiles like a group of ostriches.
"Aaaah!!"
The receptionist Xia had never encountered such a terrifying sight before. She was so scared that the blood in her whole body seemed to freeze. All she could think about was to escape! Escape from this place full of monsters!!
On one side of the corridor were various luxuriously decorated training classrooms, and on the other side was a one - and - a - half - meter - high thickened acrylic railing. Below was a staircase for going up and down. She screamed and rushed towards the railing, trying to climb over it and jump out to escape from this space full of monsters.
"Don't jump!"
I shouted and stretched out my uninjured left hand to grab one of Xia's arms, pinning her against the railing!
"This is all an illusion. Repeat after me!"
Si Jiangchen, holding Si Tong in his arms, also reached out and grabbed Xia's body, which was half - hanging outside the railing.
"The Great Heavenly Star above responds to changes without pause. It drives away evil spirits, binds demons, protects life and the body, and makes wisdom pure and clear..."
As I recited the Mind - Purifying Incantation, the receptionist Xia's continuous screams finally gradually stopped. Although she was still shaking non - stop, her mouth had already started to softly repeat after me!!
