Chapter 40 The Human Heart is Unpredictable
Shen Wei glanced askance at his restless right hand, then turned and walked away, the little blonde nun following closely behind, praying as she went.
“Would you like to leave after visiting the underground exhibition hall, or would you prefer to end your visit directly through the staff通道 (tongdao, passageway)?”
Abe no Seimei shuddered at the sight of the gloomy underground exhibition hall. “I choose to leave through the underground staff通道 (tongdao, passageway) and end my visit.”
“Very well, sir! Please follow me closely…”
The Onmyoji, Abe no Seimei, walked through the flickering lights of the staff 通道 (tongdao, passageway), his heart filled with trepidation.
“It’s alright, I have a backup plan. If this is truly a path to survival, then I’ll be the first one out. As for those guys, they can fend for themselves! If this isn’t a path to survival, I can use my enchanted shikigami paper doll to instantly return to the third exhibition hall, placing myself in an invincible position!”
Thinking this, Abe no Seimei felt much more at ease. He followed the qipao-clad female staff member, twisting and turning, until he found himself in front of the entrance通道 (tongdao, passageway) he had used to enter the Museum of Oddities!
“Looks like my luck is pretty good!”
A hint of triumph appeared on Abe no Seimei’s face.
A moment later, Abe no Seimei stood before the glass doors of the Museum of Oddities, the outside shrouded in a gray mist.
“As long as I step through these glass doors, I’ll have left the Museum of Oddities…”
Abe no Seimei suppressed his excitement and reached out to push open the doors.
“Honored guest, thank you for visiting the Museum of Oddities! However, before you leave, we need to collect your ticket! If you refuse, you may not leave the museum.”
The qipao-clad female staff member smiled politely, extending her pale hand towards Abe no Seimei. At the same time, strange footsteps echoed within the staff 通道 (tongdao, passageway).
“The 'it' in the Museum of Oddities…”
The footsteps grew closer and closer, and cold sweat broke out on Abe no Seimei’s forehead! He hesitated for a moment, then took out the ticket from his pocket and placed it in the qipao-clad woman’s hand.
Then, the female staff member bowed slightly to him and said, “We look forward to your next visit.”
“Only a fool would come again…”
Abe no Seimei muttered under his breath as he pushed open the glass doors and stepped out of the Museum of Oddities.
“Congratulations to Chosen One Number 7201 for being the first to complete the visitation task…”
The emotionless mechanical voice of the Rule Anomaly rang out, finally putting Abe no Seimei’s mind at ease.
Just as his mind relaxed, a gigantic skeletal hand suddenly emerged from the gray mist, seizing him and dragging him into the fog. Within the mist stood a colossal giant, his body half-rotted. Only one eye remained intact in his head.
“Chosen Ones these days are getting harder and harder to fool. After all that effort, I only managed to get you. Not even enough to fill a crack between my teeth…”
“How is this possible? I completed the visitation task. How can you attack me? Even evil gods can’t violate the rules, right? Dammit, I’ve been tricked! The final incomplete rule in the Museum of Oddities Visitor’s Guide… So that’s what it meant. Everything was wrong, all wrong…”
Abe no Seimei struggled frantically, even using all his enchanted artifacts, but he couldn’t break free from the skeletal hand. He watched as the skeletal hand prepared to throw him into the giant’s mouth.
“Shikigami substitute, burn…”
Abe no Seimei’s figure instantly blurred.
Inside the third exhibition hall!
“Hmph, looks like the underground exhibition hall wasn’t a path to survival after all. Abe no Seimei is probably done for…”
The girl with the pigtails and the katana slung across her back smirked.
Watching the rapidly burning incantation paper doll, the Oni Samurai expressionlessly placed it inside a glass display case. The flames on the incantation paper doll instantly extinguished, and it lay quietly in the display case.
At the same time, Abe no Seimei’s blurred figure suddenly solidified!
“Baga yarō (idiot), Inoue, you actually betrayed me…”
Abe no Seimei’s face contorted in fear, but it couldn’t change his fate. He was thrown into the rotten giant’s mouth by the skeletal hand and chewed into a bloody pulp.
Inside the Museum of Oddities, the Non-Human (Modern) Exhibition Hall.
“There’s an old Hua Xia saying: 'A great man should stand tall between heaven and earth, how can he live oppressed beneath others!' Abe-sama, the era of the Onmyoji is over. Now, the Tenshin Society is the supreme power…”
The samurai wearing the demon mask spoke with fervent fanaticism. And the pigtail girl stood beside him, muttering incessantly, “Tenshin Society, banzai!”
The doors to the underground exhibition hall slowly closed, then vanished into the air.
“These two are too dangerous, not worth cooperating with…”
The rainbow-haired loli chewing gum looked at the pigtail girl and the Oni Samurai with caution. She winked at the killer uncle holding a pot of flowers, and the two of them slowly moved away from the pigtail girl and the Oni Samurai.
Having formed a team, Shen Wei and the blonde nun were no longer pulled into the illusions of the exhibits. They cleared stage after stage, until they reached the entrance to the fourth exhibition hall.
At the entrance to the fourth exhibition hall, Shen Wei suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something.
“What exactly did Yu Wenqiu, possessed by the demon mask in the Non-Human (Ancient) Exhibition Hall, mean by what she said?”
Shen Wei muttered to himself.
“Ever heard of 'a pack of lies'? She just wanted to trick you into releasing her!”
Shen Wei’s strange right hand leaned close to his ear and said loudly.
Shen Wei looked disgusted. “Don’t be so loud, I’m not deaf! But I agree with the 'pack of lies' part. I won’t believe a word you say from now on…”
“Ungrateful little bastard, why doesn’t the anomaly just kill you!...”
Shen Wei’s evil god right hand was instantly triggered!
“Rude one, why have you stopped?”
Although the blonde nun had an angelic face and a devilish figure, she was actually quite innocent.
“Because I thought of something very important, something that concerns the path to survival out of here. Girl, come with me and let’s revisit the exhibition area…”
A flash of inspiration went through Shen Wei’s mind, and he was eager to verify his idea. Therefore, he grabbed the blonde nun’s arm as she was about to enter the next exhibition hall. Seeing Shen Wei take action, his evil god right hand wasn’t willing to be outdone and directly groped her chest!
“Heh heh heh, Dragon Claw Hand…”
The silver cross on the blonde nun’s chest suddenly burst into a bright light, and Shen Wei’s evil god right hand instantly let out a miserable scream. suduxs.com
“Ah, my eyes, my eyes are going blind…”
“Serves you right…”
Seeing his dark and strange right hand suffer, Shen Wei couldn’t help but feel extremely pleased.
The innocent blonde nun tilted her head and looked at Shen Wei, then nodded silently!
The two of them toured the Dead Things (Modern) Exhibition Hall again, and they actually discovered an anomaly.
