821 A Million Times for You 183 (1/2)

Although An Xiaoning could not manage to see anything, she could roughly imagine the scenario inside.

She could not help but feel nauseated.

The door was opened again, and the men dragged the corpses out to be buried.

”You guys may have the rest, I'll wait for you outside for two minutes.” He then exited.

The bunch of people split the remaining blood amongst themselves and began indulging ferociously in their bloody feast, as if it was the best delicacy in the world.

The man then brought the bunch of people away from the place. Fan Shixin and An Xiaoning then decided to split up. Fan Shixin followed the man while An Xiaoning continued to remain in the empty mansion.

She guided herself toward the wooden house with a torchlight and pushed the door open.

As soon as the door opened with a creak, her senses were attacked by the metallic odor of blood. Unable to curb her queasiness, she threw up immediately.

Covering her nose with a piece of tissue paper, she fumbled for the switch and turned on the lights in the room, after which she put the torchlight away.

There were bloodstains all over the ground as well as a bucket full of blood.

She could no longer see any spirits around.

She reckoned that they must have been brought away for reincarnation by grim reapers.

An Xiaoning caught sight of a bloodstained knife on the ground, after which she stepped forward and picked it up to wipe the blood off the blade with some tissue paper.

She held back her urge to vomit and scrutinized the knife to see that there was a small carving made on it.

The carved word was not in the native language of V Nation or any other official languages of the world. It was a word that An Xiaoning had never seen before.

She could not decipher what it meant at all.

Seeing that there was nothing else left to discover, An Xiaoning quickly left the place.

She trekked down the mountain and arrived back in the small town.

Drenched in sweat, An Xiaoning opened the door and asked, ”Is your Brother-in-law not back yet?”

Xiao Bai shook his head and closed the door. ”Not yet. Sis, why do you reek of blood?” he asked.

”I'll explain it to you later. Let me take a shower first,” said An Xiaoning, bending forward to grab some clothes from her luggage.

After taking a brief shower, she whipped out the knife she took from the mansion and said to Xiao Bai, ”I found this knife in that wooden house that wasn't burnt. Look, there's an unknown word on it that I can't decipher.”

She snapped a photo of the knife and sent it to Jin Qingyan in a bid to ask him to find out more about it.

After the message was sent successfully, An Xiaoning then told Xiao Bai about everything that happened in the mansion relic.

”We'll discuss this in detail when your Brother-in-law is back. What's going on? Call him, his mobile phone is on vibration mode.”

”I was getting so anxious and worried while waiting for you guys here on my own. I didn't dare to call or text you guys because I was afraid that your phones weren't on silent mode and that the ringtone would go off,” Xiao Bai explained while sending a text message to Fan Shixin.

”Let's all set our phones to vibration mode so that we can contact one another easily during times of emergency.”

A frown creased Xiao Bai's forehead as he said, ”He's not picking up.”

”Call him again,” An Xiaoning urged.

Xiao Bai did as he was instructed.

This time, the call went through.

”Has your Sis returned?” Fan Shixin asked while panting heavily, seemingly running about.

They were both in shock. Before Xiao Bai could even respond, An Xiaoning snatched the phone from him and asked worriedly, ”I'm back. Where are you?”

”I'm still very far away from the town. They're chasing me down and they have been for more than four kilometers. I don't have time to talk right now,” said Fan Shixin.

”Are you on the route that we took?” An Xiaoning asked, trying to suppress her frustration.
