Chapter 12 Phantom (2/2)

The complex had its power restored, and many of the apartments lights switched on automatically, shedding light on the dark sky, and thus illuminating the sewer as well.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

Just as the crowd cheered, another shrill scream came from the sewer, only this time, much louder than the previous three.

If that cry was made at midnight, there would definitely be many people wetting their beds in fear.

This time, not only Zhang Zhong, but even the Hengha Er Jiang’s legs turned soft. Their expressions of joy were immediately frozen and slowly turned into one of fright.

“Wha… Wha…” Xiao Ping wanted to ask what was going on, but his teeth was chattering incessantly.

Zhang Changsheng was usually bold and brave, but this time, even he felt scared.

He was scared out of his wits because he knew that the sound was from Zhao Lingjun, and it was filled with fear and despair. He a.s.sumed that Zhao Lingjun met something horrible below, and decided to quickly pull the rope in his hands.

Just as he had decided on it, he saw a dark shadow, quickly climbing up the ladder.

Along with it came a horrifying stench.

Zhang Changsheng had been crouching over the manhole, but when he saw that shadow climbing up, his legs turned soft and he fell on his b.u.t.t.

Although Zhang Changsheng was normally brave, at this moment, he was scared out his wits.

Because, although in a panic, he did not clearly see the shadow’s face, but he was certain that it was not Zhao Lingjun.

He was certain because that figure climbed as fast as a gust of wind. That speed, compared to the slow and clumsy Zhao Lingjun was completely worlds apart.

In addition, the shadow’s body looked nauseating, constantly dripping slime and filthy garbage.

But only one person went into the sewer, Zhao Lingjun.

If this figure rus.h.i.+ng out, is not him, then what could it be?

Zhang Changsheng laid sprawled on the ground, with no strength left in his limbs, unable to even run away.
