Chapter 221 Screaming Bamboo

The water poured off the showerhead, drenching the floor in a puddle.

Under the showerhead, with his head full of shampoo, Kiernan washed his hair while the water cascaded down his naked body.

"Cheater... cheater... I won!"

Julian muttered at the neighboring shower while washing himself with a frustrated look on his face.

"You didn't win anything!"

Kiernan shouted to the neighboring shower, then left the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist and walked to the mirror to brush his teeth.

"I was faster than you, though."

Julian appeared next to him, towel wrapped around his waist, and also brushed his teeth with a look of annoyance.

"Therefore, I basically won!"

"I was the first to arrive at the dormitory, though. I don't know in what dreamland you're living in, but you lost."

"Huh? You want to fight again or what? I'll beat you up!"

Kiernan just scoffed and walked away, rolling his eyes. He heard Julian shouting something, but he ignored it all, and left the showers.

When he arrived at the second floor, the doors were already closed as others were getting ready to go to sleep.

It was past ten at night, so everyone needed to be quiet and respectful of others trying to sleep.

As he was about to open the door to his room, another door opened at the end of the hallway, and Julia came out with a towel in hand, ready to go to the shower.

At that moment, she saw Kiernan and blushed bright red. The water was still trickling down his well-toned body like a shimmering waterfall.

"W-why aren't you wearing anything?"

Julia asked with a blushed cheeks, pouting slightly.

"I didn't take my clothes there with me. I thought everyone was already sleeping. My bad. The shower is still occupied by that stupid moron Julian, so don't go there just yet."

"Ah... okay, thanks!"

Julia rushed back to her dorm room to hide her embarrassment.

With key in hand, Kiernan opened his room, closed the door behind him, and changed into more comfortable clothes—it included a t-shirt and sweatpants.

Ding! Ding!

At that moment, his phone buzzed with activity on the desk. He didn't take it with him on the jog, and especially not into the showers.

"Give something good..."

The lottery wheel spun around rapidly. It started to slow down. Then it stopped.

Its pointer landed on 'Screaming Bamboo.'

As the screaming bamboo appeared in Kiernan's hands, it started screaming so loud that the windows started to shake.

"The hell?!"

Kiernan panicked and quickly threw it inside his wardrobe to try to drown its screams, but the bamboo continued to shriek even louder.

Some annoyed shouts came from other rooms. It sounded like the screaming bamboo woke up the entire dormitory.

"Shit, please shut the fuck up!"

The bamboo didn't stop screaming.

He picked up his phone, told Cold Shade to start the trade ceremony as quickly as possible.

He then went to lit up the candles, and as Cold Shade started the countdown, he went to retrieve the screaming bamboo from the wardrobe, and threw it to the middle of the six-pointed star.

"Commercium!"

With cold wind blowing through the room, the screaming bamboo disappeared.

...

The darkness swallowed the room, and as Amara was about to turn the lights back on, a loud inhumane-sounding shriek echoed through the room.

"What?!"

Amara turned the lights back up and saw a long greenish bamboo lying on the table. It had a mouth, and it was screaming at her.

The screams flew out of the balcony and across the sleeping city. The screams were so loud that they could be heard from a long distance away.

Angry, frustrated shouts came from the city, and the dark houses started to light up as families began waking back up.

The castle, where she was living, also woke up to the sound of the inhumane screaming.

"Oh no..."

Amara looked at the screaming bamboo with a tired look. Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire

"Screaming Bamboo from the Screaming Forest. It is another species that has gone extinct because of Dead World.

"That lottery wheel is indeed connected with Dead World, but... how do I make that screaming stop!"
