"Throw it at me!" Zha Youth shouted, then took the lead in throwing a stone.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The stones hit Ye Mingshang, making a thudding sound, but he did not block them. Instead, he looked dazed, occasionally tilting his head.
"Keep throwing!"
After a pause, Zha Youth continued to throw stones and shouted.
However, this time, before his stone could hit the target, it was caught in Ye Mingshang's hand, leaving him stunned.
Ye Mingshang tilted his head and looked at the stone in his hand, as if pondering.
With a slight effort, the stone was surprisingly crushed. He opened his palm, and pieces of stone fell to the ground, causing the others to gulp nervously.
What kind of person is this?! He can crush stones—superhuman?
After crushing the stone and watching the fragments fall to the ground with curiosity, he picked up another stone from the ground and examined it closely. Then, as if he had thought of something, he threw the stone at one of his companions.
Bang!
A stone pierced through, creating a hole in the chest of that guy. He looked blankly at the bloodied hole in his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief. After losing his heart, he collapsed a few seconds later.
Lying on the ground, he still reached out, trying to struggle. He looked at his companions, his mouth opening and closing as if begging for help.
"Help... me..."
A few of them hurriedly stepped back, their eyes filled with terror. They had been hitting him with sticks and stones for a long time, but instead of bringing him down, it seemed to have driven him mad. Now, one was dead, and the other showed no signs of life—he was probably dead too.
Then, under their fearful gazes, Ye Mingshang bent down again and picked up a hand. He glanced at the others, making their hair stand on end.
"Run!" Zha Youth shouted, leading the way as he took off.
"Whoosh!"
However, after just a couple of steps, there was a loud bang, followed by a warm sensation on his cheek. Turning back, he saw one of his companions' heads completely shattered. The body ran a couple of steps unconsciously before collapsing, still twitching.
"Oh my god!" Zha Youth screamed and sprinted away, fearing that any delay would mean death.
"Hah... hah..." Breathing heavily, Zha Youth looked back and realized that his last companion had disappeared without him noticing. He feared the worst for him as well. In the distance, the figure that was becoming harder to see resembled a demon, instilling endless fear in him.
"Damn it! I can't get caught!" Zha Youth's eyes widened as he ran even harder. His toes barely touched the ground as he felt like he was flying, far exceeding his usual limits.
He hadn't strayed far from the others; at this pace, he should have returned to the village quickly. However, no matter how fast he ran, it felt like he was just going in circles in the forest and couldn't escape at all.
"Why! Why am I still here? I should have already arrived at the store!" Zha Youth shouted in his heart.
Looking back, the thin young man was already very close to him, about twenty meters away. Dressed in all black with a pale face, he looked like an Evil Spirit, instilling fear in Zha Youth. The proximity made him panic even more, and he ran forward with all his might.
After running for a while, his body was exhausted, yet he continued down the road, unable to see an end in sight. However, at this moment, he had no time to worry about that; when he looked back, he saw the young man still trailing him at around twenty meters.
"Damn it! Damn it! Why are you still following me? Where do you want to take me?" Zha Youth shouted internally.
But in the next instant, someone answered his question.
"To the end of hell." Zha Youth's hair stood on end as he turned around to find that the young man had somehow closed the distance and was now right behind him. It felt as if he was almost touching him, yet there was no physical contact.
In his eyes, Ye Mingshang suddenly grinned widely, his mouth stretching open until it resembled a bucket or basin. Finally, in Zha Youth's terrified gaze, he was swallowed whole.
Darkness enveloped...
"Ah!!!"
In the forest, as Ye Mingshang removed his hand from Zha Youth's head, the latter's body fell to the side unconsciously, his expression one of terror as if he had witnessed the most horrifying thing in the world. Surrounding him were several others lying down; they were his companions.
Clenching his fists, Ye Mingshang gazed into the distance and murmured, "It seems you really are preparing; however, your timing is too slow. That's not my style."
It turned out that what these young men had seen earlier were actually illusions created by Ye Mingshang. This was a method of interrogation that could extract fragments of memories from others. It sounded impressive but could only yield bits and pieces—perhaps something from long ago or something recent. Some memories might be significant while others trivial. For instance, the first young man only remembered that his breakfast this morning had meat in it.
Fortunately, the last person provided some useful information.
After that, regardless of the situation of these individuals, Ye Mingshang took out a gold bar and stuffed it into Zha Youth's pocket.
He had exchanged this in the city; since it was small, it was convenient to carry, so he had exchanged a few. Now that he had run out of cash, he decided to use this instead.
Earlier, there were too many people in the store for him to act, so he used this method to draw a few people out and then hypnotize them. Anyway, when they woke up, they wouldn't remember anything. Later, when they discovered the gold bar, they would subconsciously fabricate a false memory to fill in that gap. This way, no one would know about the incident.
About five minutes after Ye Mingshang left, several people woke up one after another, looking around in confusion, not understanding why they had fallen asleep on the ground.
Zha Youth also sat up, scratching his head in bewilderment. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "Damn! Where did that Fellow go!"
In his excitement, as he stood up, he heard a clatter; something had fallen to the ground. Zha Youth instinctively looked down and saw a gold bar about the thickness of his thumb lying on the floor.
This was like a switch or a trigger; instantly, a scene began to form in their minds. They had chased after Ye Mingshang to teach him a lesson, but he had cooperatively given them a gold bar. After that, they didn't know why they were sleeping on the ground.
Although their memories had many gaps, it was the only explanation they could come up with, and they subconsciously accepted it.
"Since we got the money, let's head back," Zha Youth said after biting into the gold bar to confirm its authenticity.
