The speed at which the aunties and other human beings disappeared was so fast, it was as if in the blink of an eye, the entire square immediately became empty. It was as if those people had never appeared at all.
Not only did the human beings disappear without a trace, even the mosquitoes were gone. This means that now, apart from me, there is nothing alive on the entire square. The lush flowers, plants, and trees also withered instantly, turning into a black powder that vanished into the air.
Listen carefully, I found that the sound has also disappeared, and the entire Space emits a dead silence. The originally thin Red mist begins to thicken gradually, giving the square an especially eerie feeling.
I have never seen such a frightening scene before. Even if I have encountered the most ferocious and disgusting ghosts in the past, they have never made the scene as terrifying as this thing, which I don't know if it's a ghost or not.
Those ghosts from before, even if they were evil spirits, couldn't have made people disappear all at once like they did today. Besides, those evil spirits don't just attack people randomly; they specifically target enemies who have caused them resentment or accomplices. Also, there were those Taoist priests who intended to capture him. So when I saw them, I was just scared by their appearance and didn't suffer any harm.
But at that moment, I was truly terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. Not only did I witness these people inexplicably disappear, but I also saw how they vanished—they were directly swallowed by a huge, blood-filled mouth.
How can I describe this enormous mouth? I can only say that it is the nightmare of my life. Even though that giant mouth swallowed people in an instant, I still saw the large, congested mouth clearly.
That huge mouth is as big as half of the square. It sucked all the creatures on the square, but I don't know why it spared me and Sier.
Perhaps it spared Sier because Sier is just a wisp of a lingering soul, without a physical body. This terrifying creature likes to eat flesh, so it spared Sier.
As for why they let me go, and I am a real living person with flesh and blood. But now these are not in my consideration. What I need to consider now is how to escape from this eerie square full of deathly aura.
Looking at the edge of the square so close at hand, I tried to calm my mind and stop my legs from shaking. I can't die here. As I always say, I am not living alone. I still have my mother and son. For them, I have to strive to live on.
"Sister, hold on, I'll help you. We'll be able to escape soon. Once we're out, this monster won't threaten us anymore." Sier saw that my legs were giving out, and immediately encouraged me, while using his Gui Li to support me and keep moving forward.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I will definitely survive. There are still many things I can't let go of. I won't be so fragile." I nodded vigorously, also trying to convince myself to hold on, not giving up on life until the very end, when absolutely necessary.
I have almost finished adjusting myself, and suddenly I burst out with a lot of energy, with the help of Sier and Gui Li, we finally escaped from the square.
I sat directly on the main road, greedily breathing in the air that had been polluted by smog, which had become somewhat murky. I didn't feel the discomfort of inhaling this air at all. For a long time, I was still panting heavily and breathing deeply.
After calming down, I looked at the completely dark sky and felt like I had narrowly escaped a disaster.
"Sister, it's really great that we finally escaped. I don't know when that monster appeared in your city, I don't even recognize what it is, but I know it's very powerful. I'm afraid even my master is no match for it. Fortunately, we escaped quickly. By the way, sister, we need to inform the master to handle this, otherwise more people will die."
Sier who escaped from danger was so excited that his little face turned red. He imitated the adults by patting his chest, and with lingering fear, he said, looking even more adorable, making people want to take a bite.
However, I still hold a grudge against him for making me think there was real danger after joking around, almost costing me my life. Although he later turned the situation around, in my opinion, he was only looking out for his own skin. So, I just nodded expressionlessly and said stiffly, "Whatever."
"Sister, we escaped. Are you not happy, or are you still mad at me? Sister, I'm sorry. I won't make jokes like that again. Can you forgive me?" It seemed like he could tell I was upset. He pouted and timidly asked, his watery eyes looking at me as if they could speak, hoping for my forgiveness.
But the crack in my heart had already formed. I knew that even if I forgave him on the surface, I would still care deep down. But no matter what, we were able to escape this time, and it was partly thanks to him. So I forced a smile and said, "No, you're so cute. How could I stay mad at you? Don't worry too much. Let's rest for a bit. Later, you can go find the City God to report, and I won't go with you."
"Sister, are you Do not Sier? Are you planning to drive Sier away?" I had never seen Sier cry before, but at this moment, her eyes were immediately filled with tears, as if a slight nod from me would unleash a flood.
"No, it's not that. Sister really can't walk all the way to City God Temple. After I go back to my own home, and after you deliver the letter, I believe City God will definitely know where my home is and will send you back. By then, I will also take you to Maoshan School." I quickly explained.
"Alright, it can only be this way. My sister is right. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that things will change here after a long time." Sier thought for a moment, and this seemed to be the only option.
"Haha... You want to leave, little girl? Once you're here, don't leave. It's been so long since I've seen such high-quality supplements. How could I let my supplements slip away!" Just as Sier and I were discussing what to do next, a piercing laughter rang out, followed by a burst of red light, and I was once again engulfed in the Red mist of the square.
"Sister, don't be afraid, I'll save you!" Sier immediately flashed into the square again and came to my side. I didn't feel much about Sier's arrival again, anyway, Sier was worried about his jade pendant.
But no matter what, saving one life is better than none, so I took off the jade pendant around my neck and threw it out, saying, "Sier, we are just passing strangers, you don't have to die for me. I'll put the jade pendant outside, you dare to go out and find your master. If possible, take care of my mother and son for me."
As soon as I finished speaking, Sier didn't say a word and flew out, leaving me feeling even more lost. In my opinion, even if Sier had such thoughts, he should at least think about it in his heart and be polite on the surface, saying something like "No, sister, I will always be with you." Who would have thought that this kid didn't say a word, making me afraid to take one step later and be eaten by this monster. This made me feel a chill in my heart, regretting that I agreed to adopt him in the first place.
But this is not the time for me to regret. I saw a blood-colored skull floating in the air, about the size of a real human head, constantly circling around me.
While laughing harshly, he said, "It's working, it's working, it's really working. This little girl is truly a rare yin deficiency constitution, a top-grade tonic for my kind."
"What are you saying? I don't understand. I'm just a small person. Please let me go. I have an elderly mother and a son who need me," I pleaded in a trembling voice, unable to look directly at the blood-red skull.
"Little girl, today I'm in a good mood, so I'll explain to you what a yin deficiency constitution is. Only those born in a yin year, on a yin month, on a yin day, and are female human beings can be called yin deficiency constitution. They are also excellent supplements for us ghost beings in the underworld. As long as I unite with you, I will soon become the ghost king. As for the mother and son of human beings, I will let you reunite in that so-called heaven you speak of." The blood-red skull suddenly sprouted a pair of blood-red eyes in its empty eye sockets, and it leered at me.
"You shameless creature, I will never agree. Even if I die, I won't let you succeed." I knew I couldn't escape, and I had also implicated my mother and son. Suddenly, I had the thought of preferring to be shattered like jade than to be complete like a tile, and I planned to bite my tongue and die rather than let this old monster succeed.
"Gaga... wanting to commit suicide, but it depends on whether you have the ability. Let me tell you, little girl, in the face of absolute power, you human beings have no chance of committing suicide. Gaga... don't believe me? Little girl, try moving your body and see if you can." The monster laughed even more wildly.
"Hmm, wait, you little girl also have a pair of insightful eyes, not just yin deficiency constitution, but also an unparalleled pair of insightful eyes. Now I am truly excited. Gaga... I originally thought you had yin-yang eyes, but it turns out you have insightful eyes. When insightful eyes grow, they can see through the essence of all things in the world. If I comprehend these insightful eyes, wouldn't I also have insightful eyes? Then I could dominate the underworld. Gaga..." Suddenly, this old monster seemed to have discovered a new continent and stared straight into my eyes, and I saw endless greed in his eyes.
"Alas, the only regret is that you are no longer a virgin, missing the purest Yin Yuan. Ah... tell me, little girl, who took your first Yin Yuan? I want to know the whereabouts of this scoundrel, then I will refine and extract the nutrients that should have belonged to me." Suddenly, the monster roared as if it had been stepped on its tail.
I was imprisoned by some unknown force, unable to speak. But even if I could speak, I wouldn't bother to answer him. After all, it's a dead end either way. Why should I tell him something that I don't even know if it's true or not?
Seeing that I remained silent for a long time, the old monster became even angrier. Suddenly, a bloody hand materialized out of thin air, grabbed my neck, and lifted me into the air, fiercely demanding, "Speak, jerk, who did you give your first time to?"
Anyway, I couldn't speak, so I simply refused to look at him.
"You..." I had just uttered the word "you" when suddenly the old monster remembered something. He immobilized me, rendering me speechless, and then threw me to the ground with a bang. After waving his bloody hand, he said, "Now you can speak. If what you say satisfies me, I will let you die comfortably. Otherwise, I will make you unable to seek life or death."
I thought to myself, isn't that the same as dying? In that case, why should I speak? With that in mind, I continued to look up at the sky, ignoring the old monster.
"You, very good, very good, hehe... You're making me furious. I'll ask you one last time, who did you give your first time to? As long as you answer this question, I might consider letting you go." This monster, seeing that I refused to speak, suddenly changed its strategy, softened its tone, and offered to let me go on the condition that I answer this embarrassing question.
