Slap! Slap! Slap!
The sound was coming from inside, and it seemed that something was approaching him.
Zhou Kai narrowed his eyes.
Was there someone there?
However, he couldn't see anything at all. The slapping sound kept lingering.
"Little…" Just as Zhou Kai was about to ask Little Leopard Cat about it, he turned around and gasped.
It turned out that Little Leopard Cat, who had been by his side, had disappeared.
After finding this place, Zhou Kai still couldn't find her, which left him dumbfounded.
What is going on?
Where did that little girl run to?
No, something is not right.
Zhou Kai's expression became increasingly graver.
Although he had not gotten along with Little Leopard Cat for a very long time, she wasn't someone who loved to run about, let alone someone who would leave without telling him.
Something was strange about this.
Zhou Kai was alert as he observed the entire place. Although he heard some slapping sounds, he couldn't see anything.
He wanted to leave through the door, but he was worried about Little Leopard Cat.
If something happened to the little girl, he had a responsibility he couldn't shirk, as he was the one who had suggested going inside to investigate the place.
He wouldn't do anything to harm anyone.
As Zhou Kai was thinking about this, he walked toward the inner part of the hotel.
Zhou Kai wasn't highly skilled or courageous. If he were to fight against three to five burly men, they would still be able to press him hard down against the ground.
Even though Zhou Kai wanted to keep a low-profile when facing anomalies, his strength wouldn't allow him to do so. He was afraid of everything except for those evil anomalies.
When he arrived at a pathway, he saw that it was dimly lit inside. Only the two elevator doors looked brightly lit.
The slapping sounds seemed to be coming from inside.
However, as he listened in the pathway, Zhou Kai realized that he couldn't tell which direction the sound was coming from. He heard slapping sounds regardless of which direction he turned in.
Furthermore, Zhou Kai felt vaguely annoyed upon hearing those sounds.
"It's so annoying. What are you making those slapping sounds for? Stop it right now!" Zhou Kai couldn't help but bellow.
His voice spread through the pathway, resounding far away.
Then, the slapping sounds became even louder and quicker. As the sounds entered Zhou Kai's ears, they made his breathing difficult. He felt as if there was some kind of uncontrollable tyranny within his body and he wanted to let it out like mad.
Ding-Dong: You have been bewitched by evil thoughts. Mind Purification +1.
Ding-Dong: You have been bewitched by evil thoughts. Mind Purification +1.
Ding-Dong: You…
Ding-Dong: You have been bewitched by evil thoughts. Clear Mind +1.
All of a sudden, the 'Ding-Dong' sounds were heard again. Then, his annoyance and the tyranny in his heart seemed to get drenched by a pot of cold water that instantly energized him. It felt like a big stone that had been suppressing his heart had been moved away. That feeling of relief was indescribable.
Zhou Kai then heard the slapping sounds again before he heard a hazy whisper.
The whisper was like a murmur that seemed to want to guide Zhou Kai.
Upon hearing it, Zhou Kai suddenly laughed. He reached out to open the elevator, walked in, and pressed the button for the third floor.
When the elevator rose, Zhou Kai walked out as if he knew which direction to head in. He then turned toward a unit.
Zhou Kai opened the door and pushed it to see the people inside.
A man and a woman were paired up. One of them was down on their knees, and the other was lying down. The woman had taken off her pants, revealing her big fair butt, while the man was reaching out to spank her butt.
Strangely, the spanking action and sound were uniform, thus creating continuous slapping sounds.
Zhou Kai looked around before his gaze paused. Besides the spanking man and woman, there was also a little boy in the house. He was sitting on a rug as he played with the toys in front of him.
When Zhou Kai looked over, the little boy seemed to sense his gaze. He looked up at Zhou Kai before he grinned, revealing a smiling face with chubby cheeks. His eyes were black, and he looked just like a lovely child.
However, when he took a second glance, this face, which was so cute that no one would be able to resist pinching its little cheeks, immediately changed.
One of the boy's big eyes was missing, and the one he had was blood-red.
He had no hair, and his face was charred-black, as though his blood-red flesh had been burned away by flames. He didn't have a mouth either, but his sharp gums were on full display.
Zhou Kai truly felt disgusted by that appearance.
Although he had seen all kinds of horror scenes in TV and movies, he had never witnessed such an ugly sight in reality.
However, Zhou Kai still walked over.
The slapping sounds were caused by this thing. It was the evil thought.
Upon seeing the little boy's ugly face, Zhou Kai crouched down and said with a smile, "Little friend, you're very cute. I'll play with you, okay?"
The little boy replied sweetly, "Yes, Uncle. Let's play Rock-Paper-Scissors. If you lose, you'll keep me company here forever."
Zhou Kai said, "No problem. Come on. One, two, three. Rock, paper, scissors…"
When he said the very last word, Zhou Kai slapped the little boy's face, hitting it in a crooked manner.
The little boy was left speechless.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was too rough. Are you okay?" Zhou Kai quickly apologized with an awkward expression.
The little boy grinned. "I'm fine, Uncle. Come on, let's continue." As he said that, he got ready and looked at Zhou Kai coldly.
Zhou Kai replied with a smile, "Okay, get ready. Rock, paper, foot…"
As soon as he mentioned the word 'foot', Zhou Kai kicked out, sending the little boy flying out before he crashed against the wall.
"Hey, this… this… this is too intense. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You…" Zhou Kai quickly said.
"You f*cker!" Before Zhou Kai could finish, the little boy roared in a low voice and revealed his malevolent, ugly face.
As he roared, the man and the woman being spanked suddenly stood up and rushed over to Zhou Kai.
They were very fast and they quickly turned into black smoke that infiltrated Zhou Kai's body.
A moment later, Zhou Kai's body was filled with the power of Exorcism. The man and woman produced continuous anguished wails, and their hands and heads passed through Zhou Kai's body as if they wanted to run away. However, the black smoke emerged slowly before they disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Kai wasn't surprised by this at all.
The evil anomalies couldn't do anything to him. However, the spirits controlled by them were not a child's play.
Apart from that, Zhou Kai discovered something in surprise.
Even though the power of Exorcism had obliterated these spirits, it didn't get weaker. Instead, it became stronger.
Was the power using the spirits as fertilizer?
As he was pondering this, a smile slowly formed on Zhou Kai's face. He looked at the startled little boy and said in a faint tone, "Come on, let's continue to play games, little cutie."
Although the little boy was frightened, it looked at Zhou Kai with a resentful expression as if it was unresigned to this.
Then, it crouched down with a malevolent smile and curled itself up.
As it did all this, flames emerged from the little boy's body and spread rapidly. Slowly, a raging fire filled the house.
