Chapter 17

Liuzhou Academy is a large villa area. When I took a taxi and rushed to the entrance of the community, Zhou Sheng happened to run out from inside at the same time.

"Damn it, Mu Rongyue?"

"You really came to save me?"

Zhou Sheng was panting heavily and sweating profusely. Looking at the brightly lit entrance of the community, he felt a sense of security. He slumped down on the ground with a thud.

"Fuck, I'm really exhausted from running!"

I walked over and tried to pull him up.

"Don't sit here. Come on, let's go to a more secluded place. Otherwise, when the leather-skinned corpse comes out later, it might hurt innocent people."

Zhou Sheng squinted at me for a while and shook off my hand.

"Wait a minute. You want to take me to a secluded place so you can kidnap me, right? Do you really think I'm stupid?"

Gasping for breath, he glanced at the several security guards on night duty beside them and then became complacent again.

"To be honest, I don't trust you, and I don't trust my grandma either. Staying here is the safest for me. If you have the guts, kidnap me right in front of them!"

"Fine, then just stay here."

I held the Qiankun Mirror in my arms and sat on the ground together with Zhou Sheng. Then I turned on my phone and showed him the live-streaming screen.

"Look, your grandma is about to transform."

Zhou Sheng's phone was in his pants pocket, and the live-streaming room we were connected to was pitch black. The live-streaming room of his other phone's secondary account was on, and the video was facing the sofa in the study. I switched to that live-streaming room, and the audience followed suit.

"I'm really confused by Mu Rongyue. Is there really a leather-skinned corpse or not?"

We'll know once we take a look. I always feel that there's something really wrong with Grandma Zhou Sheng's condition."

In the video, Grandma Zhou Sheng was pacing restlessly back and forth in the room. After walking for a while, she suddenly froze in place, her limbs twitching, and her head swaying uncontrollably from side to side.

"It's so scary. Is it epilepsy?"

The next second, an extremely eerie scene unfolded.

A layer of skin and flesh separated from Grandma Zhou Sheng's body. At first, it still had the appearance of Grandma Zhou Sheng. But when it completely detached, that face transformed into that of a gaunt middle-aged man.

And Grandma Zhou Sheng, who was left where she was, turned into a skinned, bright red corpse. Her muscles wriggled, and she collapsed to the ground with a loud thud.

The leather-skinned corpse looked around, flattened its body, and crawled under the gap of the toilet door. It was probably going to look for Zhou Sheng.
