Book 1: Chapter 136

Fatty and I got pelted by the rain as we hid behind the rock and watched those motionless people. Fatty also made a move to roll his eyes into the back of his head and listen to the thunder. After doing it for a few minutes, he shook his head at me to show that he couldn't hear anything.

This definitely wasnt a joke meant for me. No one would tease others using such a ridiculous performance. Moreover, this definitely wasnt Xiao Hua's team. Everyone in Xiao Hua's team had a certain characteristic: they were very strong-spirited. Such people were often bored, but they wouldnt come up with such a bad idea at a critical time like this.

I wiped the water from my face. After the heavy rain, the air in the valley felt more refreshing. The water might have absorbed the toxic substances in the fog. Now that I felt better, I cautiously came out from behind the rock and went over to those people.

Fatty moved to pull me back, but I told him not to worry. I was sure that if these people werent possessed by evil spirits, then they were definitely idiots and there was nothing to be afraid of.

When I walked over to those people, I leaned in close to get a look at one of them. This person was completely stiff, the whites of his eyes were showing, and he appeared to be unconscious. The raindrops hit his scalp and slid down into his eyes. Even though it looked painful, he didnt seem to feel it.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

I didn't touch any of them, remembering that trying to wake up someone who was sleepwalking would trigger unpredictable reactions. But I was certain that these people were all trapped in a nightmare of some sort.

But this guys expression was very exaggerated and unreasonable, almost like he was trying to demonstrate to me. When I looked at his widened mouth, I kept feeling that it was done intentionally. This was a special expression meant just for me.

As he stood there silently, I stared at him carefully. Every time the lightning flashed overhead, that sinister expression looked even more terrifying.

I didnt know why, but I felt like it was very familiar. I had definitely seen this expression not too long ago. This kind of familiarity had me falling into a kind of trance in the heavy rain. I couldnt tell whether the thunder was familiar or the expression was familiar.

Fatty suddenly dragged me back and pulled me behind the rock. I came back to my senses and wiped the water off of my face. Fatty started cursing, "Are you fucking stupid?! Were you listening to the thunder, too?!"

I somehow stood up and looked back out. The man was still standing there, but he wasnt facing me and his hands were curled up now. I suddenly remembered where I had seen that expression before.

It was the same expression the leather figurine woman had after I stuck my hand in her mouth.
