401 Heated Debate ? (1/2)

Naturally, Zhao Yao returned in his headless horseman persona, albeit with a change of clothes. Out of nowhere, a blinding light door appeared behind Zhao Yao which led to an abyss of darkness. Zhao Yao cautioned, ”The police have completely surrounded this building. Use this door to escape.”

Without asking a single question, the horde of them rushed through the door as if it were a Black Friday sales. Once inside, they were greeted by a mysterious sight. Obviously, Zhao Yao had already instructed Elizabeth to use her illusion to alter their surroundings.

Tragic memories of his past encounter with the headless horseman remained deeply etched at the back of Meng Hao's head. However, Zhao Xue was right next to him. This was no time to chicken out. Hence, he mustered up all his courage before approaching Zhao Yao, ”Long time no see, headless horseman, I didn't expect to see you here today.”

Zhao Yao's pupils constricted into thin slits as he scrutinized his appearance from head to toe, before answering, ”Who are you?”

”…”

The headless horseman's arrival was greeted by all sorts of expressions. As his most ardent and loyal supporter, Zhao Xue simply nodded her head before rushing to the door. This was followed by Xiao Yu, Black Panther, Noodle, Fish Ball and finally Nekomata. This meant that Meng Hao was the only one left. Despite his apprehension towards the headless horseman, he still gritted his teeth as he barged into this pair of mysterious door.

They were transported to this mystical dimension the moment they set foot into it. They were brought to a long yet narrow passageway. This was the work of Elizabeth's illusion.

One by one, they hurried down the passageway before arriving at another light door. One step into this light door and they found themselves stranded at another street 1000 meters away from their original position.

”Alright, all of you can now go back home to your parents. Do not let them worry. Bye!”, the headless horseman's voice echoed from behind.

By the time they turned their heads around, Zhao Yao had long disappeared from the streets.

Meng Hao tried to lighten the mood by announcing, ”Today marks an important day for our group. Why not we come together and discuss our plans for the future? I have a building in the vicinity. We can go over there and discuss …”

The rest didn't even bother to listen to what he had to say. They simply left halfway into his speech. Meng Hao could even see Xiao Yu and Zhao Xue disappearing into a nearby metro station.

Black Panther remained in a state of confusion as he roared, ”Master Headless! Where are you, Master Headless? Don't leave me! I'm coming!”

Now, even Black Panther had left. The only person left was Meng Hao, himself.

A wave of helplessness swept over him as he watched all his friends leave. Overwhelmed with disappointment, he simply sauntered down the street with no destination in mind.

On the other hand, Xiao Yu could finally breathe a sigh of relief now that all the outsiders were gone. She could finally clarify the matter with Zhao Xue.

However, before she could even open her mouth, Zhao Xue's clear and crisp voice rang in her head, ”Guang … I mean the headless horseman is so cool.”

Her mouth fell open when she heard Zhao Xue's description of her own brother. Xiao Yu couldn't wrap her head around why she insisted on calling Zhao Yao the headless horseman even though they were the only ones there. However, she reacted to the situation immediately, ”She sure is careful. After all, we are still outside, susceptible to the peering eyes and ears of the public.”

Xiao Yu nodded her head and decided to play along to Zhao Xue's careful choice of words, ”Cool my ass! I bet the headless horseman is only here because of money! The headless horseman wouldn't have gotten so agitated if not for money.”

Zhao Xue's whole face lit up the moment the headless horseman was mentioned as she exclaimed, ”Aunt, aren't you attracted to the headless horseman?”

”I would rather die a lonely death than to ever spend a single day with someone like the headless horseman.”

Zhao Xue then replied in a somewhat jokingly manner, ”I would not think twice and choose the headless horseman if there is no one else in this world.”

”Oh my god, just the thought of it is enough to send shivers down my spine. Don't you find it slightly perverted to have such thoughts?”
