Chapter 253: Changban Slope
After dealing with all the ghosts in the third courtyard, Li Banfeng pushed open the hanging flower gate to the fourth courtyard. He had only taken a few steps into the courtyard when war drums thundered from all directions, rolling without end.
Li Banfeng quickly swept his gaze around. The courtyard, which had been empty just a moment ago, was now filled with soldiers.
Cavalry thundered into formation. Infantry marched forward in tight lines. Archers raised their bows in unison. Among them, soldiers with firearms stepped out, their weapons gleaming coldly.
Such a massive formation? Li Banfeng really started panicking.
He couldn’t tell whether the troops were real or illusions. The only thing he knew for certain was that they weren’t human. Every last one of them was a ghost.
Li Banfeng darted back and forth through the storm of bullets and arrows, then lightly tapped the pendulum.
The pendulum understood at once. It circled behind Li Banfeng, sliced open his suit, and pulled a record from the lining. Then, using its tip, it began to glide evenly along the grooves.
The gramophone wasn’t powered by electromagnetism. It worked purely through the friction and vibration between the needle and the record.
At that moment, the pendulum took the place of the needle. It was a tactic Li Banfeng and his wifey had devised together.
