C40 (1/2)

I secretly heaved a sigh of relief as I saw Director Wang shake his mother's head after she had taken a breath out. I thought that it was just an illusion, but I didn't expect that the moment he retracted his hand, his mother would suddenly open her mouth.

I felt my head explode, my body staggered, and I almost fell to the ground like a Director Wang.

His mother's mouth was opened too suddenly, too frighteningly, her chin was stuck to her neck, her purplish black tongue was hanging out of her mouth, falling weakly to the side of her face. I didn't know if it was due to the gravity, but as her tongue fell out, her head actually turned around slowly. Although his eyes were closed, the half of her fleshless face was missing an eyelid as she stared at me with her empty eyes.

”F * ck!”

At this time, I no longer cared about grace and face. I couldn't hold back anymore, cried out miserably, turned around and was about to run away, but my leg had only taken a step when I tripped on something. I turned my head to see that it was Director Wang.

”Master Ma!” Director Wang seemed to be panicking a little as he sat up and called out to me.

I couldn't be bothered with him. Just as I was about to get up and escape, the creepy ”gege” sound came again. It sounded as though someone was snoring beside your pillow.

I took in a breath of cold air and actually forgot to escape. Instead, I turned around to look at Director Wang's mother again.

At the same time, her drooping tongue also slowly moved along with it, like a snake who was about to spit out its tongue. It was so eye-catching, so disgusting that it made my stomach churn and I almost spit it out.

Director Wang, like me, was completely attracted by his mother's movements. Even though he was still tightly grabbing onto my pants, he turned his face to the side and looked at his mother's corpse without moving.

”Pata!”

Right at this moment, a light sound echoed out, his mother's tongue suddenly swayed, and heavily stuck onto her face. After that, the 'gege' sound suddenly changed, and a black shadow the size of a finger crawled out from Director Wang's mother's mouth.

It was the size of a thumb, with a red head and a black body. It was red as fire, black as charcoal, and very distinctive. It also had some mucus on it, making it look like a beetle, and it had strange red markings on its body, but because I couldn't see it clearly from a distance, it only vaguely looked like a human face.

Just as the worm crawled out of his mother's throat, it flapped its wings and flew into the air before finally landing lightly on my leg.

”F * ck!” I cursed loudly as my legs struggled to move away. However, this bug refused to leave and stayed on my legs for nearly half a minute before spreading its wings and flying out of the mourning hall, disappearing without a trace.

”So it's a bug, you really scared me to death,” Director Wang looked at the scene in front of him in a daze.

I didn't say anything, thinking that he was relieved, but my heart was in his throat.

I remembered that there was a method to draw souls in the Soul Painter's ”Drawing” character in that book. There was a type of worm from the Underworld inside, named ”Underworld”, which was formed from a person's depressed air after death. It was not afraid of the Yang Qi and could entrust souls of the dead to hide themselves from the heavens and the sea.

And this ”Underworld” was precisely the red-headed black body.

In other words, the little bug that flew out from the old lady's mouth just now was most likely 'Underworld'.

However, the reason why I was afraid wasn't because of this, but because there was another type of insect in that book, called 'Apocalypse'. It evolved from 'Apocalypse', and the only difference between it and 'Apocalypse' was that the Apocalypse carried a ghost, had a backside to the face, and possessed the ability to steal souls.

In other words, if this really was' Annihilation ', then it would be determined to kill me.

The fact that it had stopped dead on me proved it. It was trying to memorize the smell of my soul.

It's just that, why did this thing only pick me? As the saying goes, ”injustice has its master, debt has its master”, who is he dissatisfied with? Who can he go to, why does it have to be me?

For a moment, I was on the verge of tears. I didn't expect that before I could earn the money, I would be in such trouble.

”Master Ma, what's wrong?” Director Wang returned to normal and asked as he reached out to help me up.
