Chapter 199: New Powerful Skill
Even though he didn't believe in ghosts and spirits, the bizarre scarecrow still made him break out in a cold sweat.
He could clearly feel that the shirt under his suit was already soaked.
And the hooded little girl that flashed by just now—was it an illusion, or what?
Just then, Su Tao's concerned voice came from beside him, "Dr. Chu, are you alright?"
Faced with the murderous intent and the potential threat to his survival, Chu Lingfeng finally shifted his focus away from Su Tao.
He swallowed hard and said to Su Tao, "Miss Su, I'll talk to you later. I have something more important to deal with right now."
As soon as he spoke, that faint murderous intent reappeared.
He turned back to the window from before.
The scarecrow that had been sitting there was gone.
He could still hear a faint voice, like a hallucination, in his ear.
"Are you looking for me?"
Chu Lingfeng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He reached his right hand to his left wrist and took his own pulse.
"There's nothing wrong with my body..."
He muttered to himself, a fierce look in his eyes. "I'll see who's putting on this ghostly act!"
He handed the situation here over to Si Chen's younger brother, Si Lai, and went to find the head of security himself.
After explaining the situation, the head of security looked at him strangely. "Dr. Chu, how could there be ghosts in this world? The birthday banquet is about to start, and you're still..."
"It's precisely because the birthday banquet is about to start that we need to avoid risks in advance!" Chu Lingfeng scolded coldly. "Do as I say, and if you argue again, you're fired!"
The head of security's face turned green at these words.
He clenched his fist.
But considering Chu Lingfeng's position in the Si family, he didn't get angry. He turned and called his men away.
With two people in a row hysterically yelling about ghosts, even the guests who didn't believe it much started to panic.
Si Chen, who had just finished discussing family matters, happened to come to Su Tao's side and noticed the young woman looking down, searching for something. "What happened? Why is everyone saying there are ghosts?"
"Never mind what happened, you're here just in time." Su Tao looked up, her face anxious. "I don't know where the doll Xiao Cheng gave me went. Come help me find it. It was a special gift she left before she left!"
Si Chen looked at Su Tao, who was already anxiously looking down again, and fell into a moment of silence.
Did that thing really fall out by accident?
The last time he used the start-up code, he sat shirtless in the hospital for days.
Waiting for Chi Xiao Cheng to wake up.
But for days on end, after that one blip on the EKG, she hadn't shown any signs of life.
He hadn't believed in ghosts before.
But…
"Ugh… this air conditioning still isn't working. I feel a bit cold."
While a small panic broke out in the venue, Chi Xiao Cheng, hidden in the shadows, was smiling happily.
"System, this new skill you gave me is really useful!"
[Host, you drew it yourself, it has nothing to do with me.]
"Even though I drew a bunch of junk, this skill alone is worth it."
From beginning to end, she had stayed in this corner by the door and hadn't moved. The things Chu Lingfeng saw were, of course, all illusions.
As expected of a new character.
The emotional points were coming in fast in the early stages.
Chi Xiao Cheng hadn't even revealed her true form, just used the scarecrow to scare him a little, and he had provided almost 200 emotional points.
Adding that to the 700 points she had saved up before, plus the emotional points generated by many characters missing and caring about her during this time.
She had just enough to do a ten-pull.
Nine useless fillers.
The guaranteed skill was the main event!
[Illusion Control (Low Level): The host can bind to a person and create various illusions to influence the target. The duration of each individual illusion created does not exceed 5 seconds. The illusions that can be created are limited to visual, auditory, and olfactory.]
[Continuously activating the skill will consume emotional points.]
The only pity was that this skill was a low-level skill.
If it were an intermediate or even advanced skill, the operability would be even greater!
But Chi Xiao Cheng was already very satisfied. After all, she could use this kind of illusion on Tao Tao, too.
It was a pity that the emotional point consumption seemed a bit high, making it difficult to use this skill to repeatedly fleece a single person.
Currently, scaring Chu Lingfeng was profitable because he was a new character.
If she used this skill to scare Su Tao, she would definitely lose money.
Next time, she'd scare Si Chen.
This rational man was too rational, and the emotional points he provided were always relatively low.
That was why Chu Lingfeng was like a headless fly, afraid of the overwhelming power and only able to run around.
It was just that there were more security guards searching for her now, which was a bit dangerous.
Chi Xiao Cheng shifted her body slightly. A security guard walked past the door again, and she felt a little bit of anxiety.
Her gaze once again fell on Chu Lingfeng in the distance.
Dealing with this guy was the key, or she would be found sooner or later.
But the one thing Chi Xiao Cheng was hesitant about was that she didn't know the strength of this divine doctor male lead.
That "Taiyi Thirteen Needles" sounded a bit too impressive. What if her transformation skill failed again and she couldn't beat him?
Just as she was thinking wildly, a sharp gaze suddenly struck!
Chu Lingfeng sensed her gaze and turned to look over here.
The dark little corner by the door should have gone unnoticed.
But Chi Xiao Cheng's faint red glowing eyes were a bit obvious in the darkness.
Chu Lingfeng snorted coldly. "So it's here. I'll see who's controlling this doll!"
He squeezed through the crowd and strode towards Chi Xiao Cheng's direction.
She'd been spotted!
Chi Xiao Cheng immediately had this thought. She hurriedly canceled the illusion skill that was bound to Chu Lingfeng.
And instead bound herself.
Creating an illusion on herself that was identical to the floor and walls.
Instantly, she seemed to merge with the environment, looking as if she had disappeared on the spot.
Chu Lingfeng froze for a moment, then rubbed his eyes.
He then noticed that the scarecrow had scurried outside the door.
"Don't run!"
His shout startled the others and he quickly gave chase.
He couldn't rest easy until he got rid of that faint sense of crisis.
He had to catch the mastermind behind this prank!
He ran straight out the door and saw the scarecrow stumbling through a bush towards the garden outside the villa.
With her small body, how could she compare to an adult's legs?
At this moment, Chu Lingfeng was even more convinced that there was someone behind the scarecrow controlling it!
Maybe they tied a thread to it, trying to lure him over.
But…
That was exactly what he wanted!
He wasn't the kind of useless person who would fall at the first touch.
Since you want to lure me over, then I'll see what your true face is!
He slowed his pace, just chasing after the scarecrow like this.
Then, he came to a pavilion in the backyard of the villa estate.
The scarecrow had finally stopped, whether it was tired or what.
