Chapter 25 (2/2)

Lu Dadong wasn’t walking with his feet at all, and the movement of his arms were also very strange; they twisted like noodles. His limbs, including his neck, had all twisted at an abnormal angle, just like they had been broken by someone and then forcefully pinned back together. As he “walked,” his head shook and swung, as though it would fall off at any moment.

By the time Lu Dadong had walked up to them, they finally realized what had happened. Lu Dadong was long dead as a doornail. His facial features and limbs had been forcibly pieced together after he had died!

“Why…… did you leave……me……” He strained to move his eyeballs to look at them, but his eyeballs popped out, fell to the ground and rolled to Xiao Tangqiu’s feet.

“Ahhhhh!” Xia Jingjing couldn’t help but scream. She immediately turned and ran.

“Hehe……” Lu Dadong’s severed throat issued a dry, horrible laughter. In the next second, he appeared behind Xia Jingjing, stretched out a hand that looked completely devoid of any bones, and suddenly reached out to grab—

“Jingjing!” Xia Chenxuan cried out loud.

Xia Jingjing stared in disbelief, looking down at her own body, which now had a big, gaping hole. She didn’t even have the chance to scream before she died. The moment her body fell to the ground, it broke into countless pieces.

“……Jingjing!” Xia Chenxuan roared as he lunged at Lu Dadong, but the moment his hand touched Lu Dadong’s body, numerous fine black filaments appeared on his arm. Then, his body split apart in pieces as well.

Yan Yiyan saw the situation and quickly ran without hesitation. She ran very swiftly, seeming to achieve a speed that exceeded the limit of human beings. Lu Dadong slowly turned to looked at Xiao Tangqiu and the others, then turned around, saw Yan Yiyan running away and chased after her.

That one glance from Lu Dadong nearly stopped Xiao Tangqiu’s heart. When he recovered from the shock, he grabbed Tang Mianmian’s wrist and pulled him forwards, “Run!”

Tang Mianmian’s expression was full of panic: “Where….where….. where are we going to run to?!”

Was there any place that was safe here?!

“…… Let’s go to Yun Jizhou’s room!” Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth.

“Ok! I’ll listen to you!” Tang Mianmian was so frightened even his tears wouldn’t fall.

Halfway through, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly turned around and saw Luo Mansu still standing in the distance. When Luo Mansu noticed him looking back, he gave a slight smile.

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart filled with horror but in the next second, Luo Mansu disappeared.

He remained shocked for less than a second when his attention was pulled back by Tang Mianmian. Tang Mianmian had great strength and ran extremely fast. At first, he was the one pulling along Tang Mianmian, who had been scared weak. But very quickly, their situations were reversed and Tang Mianmian ended up dragging him as he ran.

It was in this manner that Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian ran until they reached Yun Jizhou’s courtyard. Perhaps they were in luck because Lu Dadong didn’t catch up to them.

After the two men entered the room, Tang Mianmian quickly closed the door.

“What are we going to do? What are we going to do?!”

Xiao Tangqiu laughed bitterly, “I don’t know either….. Let’s hide and let fate take its course!”

Tang Mianmian asked despondently, “You don’t know?”

“We can only take a gamble!” Xiao Tangqiu bit the bullet. “There’s space in the wardrobe and underneath the bed. You can hide in one place and I’ll hide in the other……”

“I’ll hide in the wardrobe!” Tang Mianmian quickly said, “But you can’t hide under this bed! It doesn’t cover you at all!”

Xiao Tangqiu saw that the bed was bare. He ground his teeth, “….There’s still the coffin….. I’ll hide in the coffin! “

“But…. someone died in that coffin!” Tang Mianmian hesitated but was kicked into the wardrobe by Xiao Tangqiu.

“We’re already at this point….. Who cares?!” Xiao Tangqiu helped Tang Mianmian close the wardrobe door from outside, then turned and lifted the coffin lid. As he expected, the body inside had disappeared, leaving only a red wedding dress……

He strengthened his resolve and climbed into the coffin, lying on the red wedding dress. Then, he covered the coffin lid and closed his eyes.

Right then, footsteps sounded outside the door.
