Free Web NovelChapter 368: Chapter 350: Let’s Follow That Man to the Village Ahead and Check on the Situation
But she couldn’t stop the agonizing spewing.
Her face and neck turned crimson from the extreme pain,
and the veins beneath her skin were like enraged Fire Dragons,
twisting and struggling, clearly visible in the dark.
The girl clawed helplessly at the ground, her ten fingers digging fiercely into the dirt,
trying to wrench a sliver of hope from the cold, hard earth.
Her eyes were bloodshot.
Her once-clear pupils were now filled with terror and helplessness,
resembling two deep Blood Pools, emanating an aura of despair.
She strained to lift her head, looking toward the crowd of equally terrified people,
her lips trembling slightly as she tried to cry for help.
But the gray-brown liquid that gushed from her mouth like a torrent
mercilessly drowned her faint, mosquito-like cries
in a cacophony of horrific noise.
The gray-brown liquid
poured from the girl’s mouth in an endless, unceasing stream.
Watching the liquid gush from her delicate body,
one couldn’t help but wonder,
’What terrifying secret is hidden within this seemingly fragile frame
to hold such a massive volume of that bizarre fluid?’
Her body, wracked by violent tremors, gradually lost all its strength,
and she went limp like a marionette with its strings cut.
Yet, the Mysterious Power was like a cruel and merciless Demon,
showing no intention of letting her go.
It continued to ravage her body and mind like a tempest, leaving her to struggle in endless agony.
The people around her were already stunned silent by the sudden, terrifying scene.
They scrambled backward in a panic as if they had seen a monster,
no one daring to approach the girl who was enveloped by the Mysterious Power.
Flashlight beams swayed erratically among the panicked crowd,
the pale light illuminating one horrified face after another.
Fear, confusion, and helplessness were written on every one of them.
They stared at each other,
their eyes filled with a deep dread for this terrifying phenomenon that defied all human understanding.
It was as if they were trapped in a nightmare from which they couldn’t awaken.
Amidst the atmosphere of absolute chaos and terror, the girl’s body finally gave out,
and she collapsed limply to the ground.
The stream of gray-brown liquid also gradually stopped, as if it had exhausted all its Magic Power.
But the expression of mingled pain and terror remained on her face.
She had just experienced a nightmare from the depths of Hell,
and the shadow of that nightmare was seared deep into her soul,
leaving her completely submerged in a fear that would not fade.
"No way, I’m leaving now. An Evil Spirit must have snuck in."
"Yeah, yeah, my car’s in the parking lot."
"Don’t go! Take me with you, I want to leave too."
Some people were so scared they became incoherent, muttering nonstop.
At this moment, only a single thought occupied their minds:
escape this horrifying place, which was like Purgatory in the Mortal World.
Tonight’s graduation party hadn’t even officially started,
yet an intangible shadow of terror already loomed over everyone.
Death, a word people usually went out of their way to avoid,
had now quietly arrived without anyone noticing.
At any moment, it could extend its icy claws and claim the life of someone present.
Most importantly, this way of dying was simply too cruel,
too difficult to accept.
To endure such bone-deep, despairing agony in one’s final moments...
the mere thought of it sent shivers down the spine.
"If I remember correctly, to get to the nearest city from here,
even by car,
and flooring it the whole way, would take nearly an hour.
No one knows what might happen during that hour-long drive.
I originally thought the problem was in the village,
but now it seems this manor hasn’t been spared either.
Perhaps that strange Evil Spirit, or some kind of Curse, is hiding right next to one of us.
Whoever leaves might just be followed.
Staying put might actually be the safer option. But if you get separated, you could be targeted as well."
Chu He said, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly in a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
The moment he finished speaking, the young people who had been about to bolt and flee this place,
froze as if hit by an Immobilization Spell, then quickly ran back.
"What nonsense are you spouting? I bet you don’t have a car and just want to trap us here to die with you poor losers."
a young man yelled at Chu He with a look of utter disdain.
"So not having a car makes you a poor loser? You really think you’re hot stuff, don’t you,"
another person couldn’t help but taunt.
"He’s not wrong, though. No one knows where this strange Evil Spirit is.
It’s never even shown itself, and two people are already down. It’s probably safer to stick together."
someone else muttered from the side, their face filled with worry.
Some accused Chu He of fearmongering, thinking he was deliberately scaring them so they’d stay and keep him company.
But others, after hearing Chu He’s words, felt there was some truth to what he said.
After all, everything that had just happened was so bizarre and unnatural that they had no choice but to be cautious.
