Doomsday: with unlimited warehouse system

Chapter 213 Vanity Mirror

?

Eamonn looked at the messy objects in the room and suddenly noticed a skeleton in the wardrobe. This gave him an idea. He bit his right index finger, and fresh blood instantly oozed out.

"Boss, what are you doing?" Augustus asked in confusion, looking at Eamonn with a puzzled expression. Eamonn smiled lightly.

"I'll give David and the others a surprise to show them what we are capable of!" Eamonn walked up to the skeleton, dripping his fresh blood on its forehead. As the blood touched the air, a faint putrid smell emanated from it. After coming into contact with the skeleton, the blood immediately disappeared into its bones. Soon after, the skeleton's finger twitched slightly, and Eamonn smiled with satisfaction.

On the second floor, David and the others were still searching each room, trying to find clues about the ghostly zombie. However, apart from the scattered trash on the floor, there were only dried black bloodstains, and there were no useful clues.

"This isn't working; it's only wasting our time. If we haven't found the ghostly zombie before it gets dark, we'll be in danger," Fatso said, playing with the small mirror in his hand, speaking to David.

David nodded, understanding the logic behind their search. He wanted to familiarize himself with the surroundings as quickly as possible, so that they could make use of the terrain in case of any accidents. By now, David had grasped the layout and structure of the place in his mind.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, David was taken aback, looking up at the ceiling. An aura suddenly seeped from the floor above. Although the aura was very weak, David sensed it keenly. Just as he was puzzled, Eamonn and Augustus ran down the stairs in a state of panic.

"There's a ghost! There's a ghost upstairs!" Eamonn shouted loudly as he ran, glancing back as if afraid that something would chase after them.

"What's going on?" Arnold immediately asked the two.

"Just now... just now, we saw a ghost in a room on the third floor..." Eamonn said breathlessly, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

"How can there be ghosts in broad daylight? What's there to be afraid of? You two look so timid!" Arnold said, looking at the stairs leading to the third floor.

"David, let me go up and check what's going on. If there's something dirty, I'll deal with it right away," Arnold said to David.David stared at Eamonn and Augustus, then nodded in agreement.

"I'll go up and take a look too. If it's the ghostly zombie, I'll be able to provide support," David said. The group went up to the third floor together, with Eamonn and Augustus following fearfully behind. Seeing the others fall for their trick, a faint smirk appeared on Augustus's face.

"Boss, it's... it's that room! I peeked through the crack in the door, and something floated across," Eamonn said, pointing to a room and immediately standing behind the others. Following his direction, David looked at the slightly ajar door. There were indeed waves of aura emanating from inside, but they seemed different from the previous one.

"I'd like to see if it's a human or a ghost inside!" Arnold shouted and kicked the door open. At that moment, a piercing sound came from inside, and then the cupboard door slowly opened, revealing a skeleton walking out from inside.

David looked at the suddenly appearing skeleton and furrowed his eyebrows slightly. He reached out and pulled Arnold over, saying, "Don't be impulsive, be careful, it might be a trap!" Fatso also stared cautiously at the creature, but he still held his knife tightly in his right hand.

"No, this isn't the aura of a zombie!" After sensing the aura on the skeleton, David immediately spoke. He had seen countless zombies, so he was particularly familiar with their aura. Although there was a decaying smell coming from the skeleton, there were also traces of human aura mixed in. David looked around the room but didn't find anyone inside, and he nodded in agreement.

"If I'm not mistaken, it was resurrected using sacrificial blood." Hearing Fatso's words, David immediately recalled the scene of Gary summoning the snake spirit.

David was a bit puzzled, but he kept a calm expression on his face and turned to Eamonn, asking, "Did you see anyone come up here when you arrived?"

Before Eamonn could answer, Augustus quickly shook his head and said, "Except for the two of us brothers, there was absolutely no one else!"

David nodded and smiled, glancing at Fatso before continuing, "It's just a skeleton, with you here, it will be taken care of in no time."

"Haha! Brother, I love hearing that! I might not have other skills, but dealing with this kind of thing is a piece of cake for me! But I have a stomach ache right now, otherwise, I would..." Fatso pretended to hold his stomach, looking uncomfortable, and then slowly raised his other hand, pointing at Duke. "Let this brother take my place and do justice for me! Ouch, my stomach!" Fatso immediately retracted his hand, wailing.

At this moment, the skeleton in the room slowly reacted and turned its head to stare at the people at the door, gradually moving its feet.

Hearing Fatso's words, the members of the Ember Squad were all stunned for a moment.

"Duke's ability isn't suitable for combat; let me handle it," Sally stepped forward.

Just as Sally was about to unleash her lightning, Duke smiled and walked over, saying, "What a rare opportunity for a real fight, it would be a waste to pass it up. Thanks for the offer, Fatso, but I'm fine, Sally sis." 

Duke walked to the door, looking at the approaching skeleton. As he raised his right hand to initiate his shadow ability, preparing to strike, Fatso suddenly flashed in front of him!The skeleton's head was instantly chopped off by the knife in Fatso's hand.

"It's strange; my stomach suddenly feels better," Fatso rubbed his stomach, looking incredulous. He looked at Duke and smiled, saying, "Brother, I won't let you solve this one; I'll leave the next one to you!"

Fatso stepped over the fallen skeleton and walked out of the room. As he passed by David, he discreetly placed the vanity mirror in David's hand.

Duke looked at the decapitated skeleton on the ground, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face. He glanced at Fatso's back, and a smile flickered across his lips.

The skeleton summoned by Eamonn using sacrificial blood had been slain by Fatso in one strike, leaving both of them stunned.
