As soon as Su Qingzhao raised his hands to hand Huo Lan the talisman, alarm bells started to ring in the heads of others, Qin Lu immediately pulled Su Qingzhao back and snapped at him, " What are you doing?"
" I don't know! Do you think that I want to do this as well?" Su Qingzhao cried as he looked at Qin Lu, these talismans were clearly life-saving treasures but upon hearing Huo Lan's words he could not help but listen to her subconsciously.
Su Qian's expression changed drastically when she heard Su Qingzhao's words, she looked at Huo Lan with a subtle look in her eyes while pulling her nephew close to her while vigilantly looking at Huo Lan who stared at her with a sharp look in her eyes.
Though Huo Lan still looked just as sweet as ever everyone had seen her ruthlessly pull Madam Tong back while pushing Su Qingzhao behind her in an attempt to save herself. They did not dare to treat her as an ordinary woman at all, even Su Qingzhao who had a good impression of Huo Lan despite growing up together with her took a step back causing Huo Lan's face to drastically change as she looked at him with a narrowed pair of eyes.
Ever since this woman caused the death of Madam Tong, they did not dare to treat her like a gentle and naive lady anymore. They all vigilantly looked at Huo Lan while trying to decipher just what kind of thoughts she was hiding behind that gentle smile of hers.
" Qingzhao, are you really going to treat me like this?" Huo Lan's eyes turned red as she looked at Su Qingzhao and the rest, tears filled her eyes as she glanced at the rest of the group. " I made a mistake I am sorry."
A part of Zou Shen almost went soft-hearted but Su Qingzhao on the other hand became even more vigilant as he allowed Su Qian to pull him back even more.
' This ….why does her voice sounds so weird?' Su Qingzhao thought in his head even though Huo Lan was speaking just as always, he still felt like something was really off about her. There was a cold note almost too sinister in her voice which made him shiver.
Huo Lan looked at Su Qingzhao and Su Qian, seeing that the two of them were not giving up, she gritted her teeth and then turned her attention to Zou Shen and Qin Lu as she suddenly spoke up, " Shen Shen, brother Lu… we grew up together. You know me, I did not …. I was not thinking straight please don't ignore me?"
As she spoke she pouted and batted her eyelashes at Zou Shen and Qin Lu. If this was before they would have fallen for her trap, in fact, they might have even agreed to help her without even asking for anything in return but now that she was deliberately raising the matter of growing up together with them, they could not help but shiver.
Didn't do it deliberately? Was not thinking straight? Was killing someone something that one could do just because they were not thinking straight?
Was she joking with them?
Zou Shen originally wanted to hand her a talisman, just like Huo Lan said, she grew up with them. They should at least bring her alive to Madam Huo as for the rest they will deal with it in the city but now that she had spoken, her meaning was self-evident and couldn't be ignored.
Su Qingzhao turned to look at Zou Shen and Qin Lu, he was worried that they will expose him and his aunt, he did not know what was going on inside Huo Lan's head but it was better for her to not know about that it was him who distributed the talismans. Surely, she thought that it was Qin Lu who brought these talismans with him.
Just as they were thinking of what to do, they heard the sound of bone-chilling laughter causing them all to turn around and look at the thing which was chasing after Huo Lan, in front of that thing, was another figure who seemed to be running towards them at top speed.
" Run! Run for your lives !"
" Rong Si!" Yang Yiling and Su Qian shouted joyously, they thought that they were never going to see Rong Si once again but who would have thought that Rong Si would come looking for them?
" What are you shouting at me for? Run! You idiots!" This was the first time the ever-gentle Rong Si was cursing which attracted the attention of the group as they turned to look at the thing which was running behind Rong Si.
Thing was the correct way to describe the being, it was tall superiorly tall. To the point that the tips of the palms trees could brush its head, just like the skeleton figures it was made of bones but its body was covered with skinned flesh, if that was all they would have been fine with it since they have already seen something like this the last time but this thing's body was covered with flesh which had human faces.
That's right!
With countless million of human faces which were smiling eerily at them were poking out of the flesh like boils.
" Come let's play."
"Momma, I want to play hide and seek."
" Lottery, I want to win a lottery."
" More… More I want to be more rich, this is not enough!"
Multiple wishes of countless human heads, Su Qingzhao and the rest felt like their ears and heads were going to burst.
" Child! Please, God, give me a child!" A woman shrieked from the bobbling and frothing mass of flesh causing Su Qingzhao and the rest to feel the nerves of their head stretch as they trembled.
Zou Shen looked at the thing which was heading their way and his eyes popped as he said, " What the hell is that? What kind of monster is that even? I don't want to be here anymore."
Su Qingzhao shouted at them, " Then what are you waiting for? Run!"
