"Wang Shao?!" Li Yifei and the three of them heard this familiar voice and shouted in unison.
The three looked at each other, then ran towards the alley where Wang Shao had left.
Lin Qiye stood alone in place, frowning as he looked at the dark alley, his expression somewhat serious.
Although he didn't know what was happening, he had a sense of foreboding in his heart.
In the outskirts of the old city, a psychopathic killer, a strange stench, screams...
something was not right.
After hesitating for a while, he sighed helplessly, and finally picked up his cane and rushed towards the alley.
Normally, Lin Qiye would never meddle in such situations, he would run in the opposite direction as far as possible.
Since someone was screaming, it definitely wasn't a good thing.
Not a good thing meant trouble.
Robbery, murder, or witnessing a crime scene...
any of these, Lin Qiye didn't want to get involved.
He didn't have a strong curiosity, didn't want to know what was happening; nor did he have overflowing sympathy, didn't want to be a hero.
Most importantly, he didn't want to fight, what if he lost his life there? But the current situation was different.
If they hadn't escorted Lin Qiye home, perhaps Wang Shao would have taken another route back, or returned a few minutes earlier, and wouldn't have encountered this situation.
He indeed didn't like meddling, but he disliked owing favors even more.
In any case, he had to at least see what was happening, it was a gesture of goodwill, and if he encountered danger, he would run away.
Lin Qiye's eyes were covered, but his speed was not slow at all.
The closer he got to the source of the screams, the tighter his brow furrowed.
The stench was getting stronger.
"Ah ah ah!!" The second scream came from around the corner, this time a female voice.
Jiang Qian! Lin Qiye suddenly stopped at the corner of the alley, and within his mental perception range, he saw the figures of Jiang Qian and two others.
Not far in front of him, Jiang Qian was lying limp on the ground, gaping in horror at the front, trembling all over! In front of her, Liu Yuan and Li Yifei were frozen like statues, their eyes fixed on the front, also trembling! Further away...
Lin Qiye couldn't perceive.
His eyes still couldn't open, he couldn't see the world with his own eyes, and his mental perception range was only ten meters, so it was an extremely awkward situation.
Within ten meters, he could see everything, beyond ten meters, he was truly blind.
What did Jiang Qian and the others see that scared them like this? Although he couldn't see, his hearing was very sensitive, he could clearly hear rustling sounds not far away.
It sounded like someone was gnawing on something, gnawing wildly and with relish.
Hmm...
sounded like Little Black gnawing on bones.
"What's happening?" Lin Qiye asked in a low voice.
Jiang Qian seemed startled by Lin Qiye's appearance, grabbing his clothes in panic, her teeth chattering! "Monster...
the monster is gnawing on Wang Shao's face!" Lin Qiye's face changed instantly! "Run!!" Lin Qiye and Li Yifei shouted at the same time! As soon as the word came out, Liu Yuan, like a mad dog, suddenly turned back and ran wildly, bumping into Lin Qiye's shoulder, then quickly got up and ran for his life! "Monster...
help! Someone help!! Monster!" he shouted loudly as he ran.
Lin Qiye was caught off guard by his bump, stumbled, just steadied himself, and heard a dull impact sound in the distance.
It was like a brown bear stomping the ground, running towards him.
Jiang Qian's pupils suddenly contracted, and with a burst of strength from somewhere unknown, she lightning-fast climbed up from the ground and ran away screaming.
As for Li Yifei...
he had already started running after shouting the word "run," moving faster than Liu Yuan, who had pushed Lin Qiye aside.
If Liu Yuan hadn't just stumbled into Lin Qiye, he would have run far away by now.
But in that split second delay, he had already fallen behind just like Jiang Qian.
At this moment, it seemed like everyone had forgotten Lin Qiye's "disabled" identity.
The classmates who had just vowed to escort him back had completely abandoned him.
Faced with such a bloody and terrifying scene, fear gripped everyone's minds.
Just as Lin Qiye had taken a few steps, something broke into his spiritual perception range within ten meters.
It looked like a person, yet not quite.
It resembled a person because it had limbs and a head, but at the moment, it was running on all fours like a hyena, with a massive body like a brown bear! Most importantly, it had a ghostly face on its head.
Pallid, contorted.
Its long and crimson tongue was like a snake, extending half a meter from its mouth, twisting flexibly.
Lin Qiye's face immediately turned ugly.
Its speed was too fast; in a few steps, it had leaped from ten meters away to within his spiritual perception range, and was rapidly approaching him at an astonishing speed! He could already feel a gust of wind sweeping in from behind.
Jiang Qian, beside him, felt the same way.
Her face turned deathly pale in an instant, fear and panic filling her heart.
She stiffly turned her head slightly, wanting to see how far the monster was from her.
It should be...
still far away, right? "Don't look back!" Lin Qiye's voice suddenly rang out from beside her.
But it was too late.
Jiang Qian's pupils suddenly contracted, the terrifying ghostly face almost touching her own, and she could sense the strong smell of blood emanating from the figure! "Ahhhh!!!" Her scream echoed through the alley once again.
She abruptly closed her eyes, trying to swing her backpack down to hit the ghost-faced person.
She was completely panicked.
The backpack was not a weapon, and she was not a trained warrior.
In such a life-threatening moment, whoever lost their composure first would lose their way out.
The ghost-faced person grabbed the backpack strap, exerting brute force on Jiang Qian, causing her to lose her balance and stumble to the ground! A heavy black shadow suddenly fell, crashing down on her...
The next moment, blood dyed the night crimson.
