Not long after, cries were heard across the hospital, most of them from women and the elderly.

Mo Fan went out and saw many parents had brought their children to the hospital. The medical personnel were awfully busy all of a sudden.

Mo Fan proceeded to the wards and saw that the children were all unconscious. Their auras were extremely weak, as if they had seriously fallen ill.

Every child had similar symptoms, similar to the unconscious Bai Hongfei. However, Bai Hongfei was in a better spot, since he was perfectly fine, apart from unable to wake up.

”Chief Wei, didn't your men catch the moth woman? She must be the reason why our children ended up like this!” a woman yelled while sobbing in tears.

”Yeah, it must be her. We have had similar cases in the town for some time. Who would have thought that this female monster is so cruel, to even harm the kids! You must save the children!” an old man exclaimed.

”No, we'll go right now! We should be able to get rid of the curse once the moth woman is dead!” a bunch of farmers snapped furiously.

The men were infuriated when they saw the kids unconscious and the women sobbing, accusing the moth woman of being responsible for it. They quickly left the hospital.

Mo Fan was startled. He followed the group of angry men too.

”Please calm down, none of you knows how to use magic! It's no use being reckless now. Just leave it to us, the City Hunters will handle it!” Captain Feng Guangkuo said.

”No, we'll kill her with our own hands!”

”Yeah, she's been spreading fear around the town for some time, and she's harming the kids now. We don't care if she's human or a monster, we are going to skin her alive!”

Their anger was contagious. The people in the town were constantly living in fear of the rumors about a moth woman after many people had gone missing and died in strange ways in the town. The City Hunters had paid countless visits to the town, yet they had done nothing to put a stop to it. The townfolks were terrified of the moth woman, but now that their kids had fallen ill and the moth woman had been arrested, the pressure they were feeling had turned them into vengeful beasts!

A whole bunch of people quickly made their way to the entrance of the town hall and ran right into the main hall. They were unstoppable.

”Where is the moth woman!? If anything happens to my kid, I'll make sure that she pays for it!” a muscular farmer snapped furiously.

”There she is!” one of the men quickly noticed a woman tied firmly to a stone pillar close to the center.

The City Hunters were around too. They did not expect the townsfolk to just come rushing in like a furious tide. They immediately went up to stop them.

”Shishi? Why are you here!?” The farmer that was leading the group suddenly froze in his track. He stared blankly at the woman that was tied to the pillar with chains made of ice.

The rest of the men were dumbfounded too. Their murderous looks dissipated as soon as they saw the woman's familiar face.

”Captain, did...did you make a mistake? Shishi is one of us,” the huge bloke Guan Ping said.

The captain Feng Guangkuo let out a sigh and said, ”We didn't make a mistake. It's the reason why we didn't want you to come here.”

”But...”

”Shishi is a kind woman, how is she the moth woman!?” Guan Ping said on behalf of the others.

”A kind woman my ass! Humph, I always thought something wasn't right about her. She always comes back late at night and is missing most of the time. I thought it was only because her life was slatternly and she was messing around with the men, but I now realize that she doesn't just flirt with the men, she's a man-eating monster too!” a relatively plump woman blurted out harshly behind the group of men.

”Huh? Woman, did you really see her eating a man?” The rest of the young women had pale faces after hearing the words.

A number of women had followed the group of farmers to the town hall. They were shocked when they learned that Yu Shishi was the moth woman.

”Of course, did you remember the drunkard on the streets? Didn't he always go to her place before he went missing!? The man is still missing now. Where else could he be apart from inside that monster's stomach!?” the plump woman said.

”Yeah, she's right, the drunkard did visit Yu Shishi quite often before he went missing!”

”Oh my, why would a woman like her eat people!?”

”She's the moth woman, she can transform!”

”Dear, don't say that. Why would Yu Shishi do such a thing? Once, our child tripped and fell into the drain when we were away. It was Yu Shishi that saved his life...” Guan Ping said.

”Humph, are you seriously trying to explain on behalf of the monster? Didn't we all know that the kids like to hang around with her? Look what happened to them; she poisoned them all! She's just putting up an act all this time, she's just waiting for her chance to kill us all!” the plump woman Wang Tianhua declared.
