Chapter 44: Cold Embrace

That night. The world noble Loxani returned home and kicked a servant in front of him. He took a whip and struck her hard.

"Damn it! I thought it was all a hoax to scare us, so I disturbed a ghost in the

blink of an eye!"

He was mixed with anger and panic, venting all his emotions on the servant. The servant knelt on the ground, not daring to move, letting Loxani beat her. Soon, bloody wounds appeared all over her body. If this continued, she would be whipped to death.

*Crack!*

As Loxani continued to whip the servant, the chandelier hanging from the ceiling suddenly brightened hard before dimming out.

"What...?" Loxani looked up, The servant in the room screamed in panic as the light went out. Now that it was known that Mariejois was haunted, a sudden black out could scare people to death.

Immediately after, the terrifying scene really happened. In the darkness, a projector den den mushi opened its eyes and started playing in the room near them.

*Chichichichichi*

The projection was shining and there was no picture on it, just static flickering and emitted vague and weak sounds.

"Protect the tenryuubito! The CP0 in the room reacted instantly and rushed to the world noble as quickly as possible.

"Ah! The ghost is coming! You piles of garbage, protect me! " The Celestial Dragon Loxani didn't care about anything else, he threw the whip in his hand like an electric shock and screamed in terror.

Now, in this blinding darkness, several CP0 showed extremely high professionalism and instantly found the location of the Tenryuubito, protecting him at all cost.

The projection still had not shown any other images, but this was what made it even more terrifying. No one knew what would appear in the image in the next second.

The faint and noisy electric current resonated through everyone in the room, scratching

everyone's ears.

"You piece of Garbage, you must protect me even if you die! You cannot let a single drop of my blood spill." Loxani was about to go crazy from this situation and was

screaming in terror.

"We will give our lives to ensure your safety, Noble Loxani, please stay behind us." The CP0 personnel spoke in the darkness. "Quickly you fools, hurry up and turn the lights back on!"

After this sentence, he felt a cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

Time passed slowly. The clock hanging on the wall tics and tocs, every time the

second hand beat and made a ticking sound, it felt like time is extending indefinitely in the

darkness, silently increasing the fear in people's hearts.

Suddenly, in the darkness, Although the CP0 agent hurried to find a way to stop the projector and turn the lights back on, it was just proving very difficult in the darkness.

All the CP0 personnel were flexed, their eyes looking around, being alert to

the ghost that could appear at any time. Cold sweat had wet their clothes.

"You're all garbage, fixing the lights is taking too long! what use are all of you being my bodyguards if you can't even fix the lights?! Hurry up and fix it!"

The Tenryuubito was becoming more and more frustrated, it seemed that only cursing could relieve the panic in his heart.

The agents who were hurrying to repair the lights wiped the sweat from their foreheads and kept their mouths shut in case of inciting more fury from the world noble.

At that moment, the Tenryuubito felt that something was behind him. It was cold and he felt it around his neck.

When he turned his head, his pupils contracted sharply. It was a hand. A woman with pale skin and her hands were cold to the touch!

His scalp went numb and a chill ran through his body. He wanted to

scream in horror, but the pale ghost's hand around his neck reached

out, covering his mouth from behind.

The eyes of the world noble Loxani bulged bloodshot and the visible skin went from white to blue. He wanted to scream, but no sound came out. All the CP0 personnel could hear was the flickering of the static on the projection den den mushi, the ticking of the moving clocks, the sound of a companion nervously swallowing their saliva, the servant trembling in fear...

*Snap*

At that moment, the sound of the switch clicking was heard, the lights were repaired, and the room turned bright.

The static playing on the projector also turned off, with the room suddenly washed with warmth.
