Jiang Qian was dead.

Lin Qiye witnessed the whole process of her death.

The monster fell from the sky, slicing her neck with its nails like cutting butter with a hot knife. Then, the monster devoured its victim in thrill.

Until the last moment, Jiang Qian’s eyes were still fixed on Lin Qiye, filled with fear and resentment.

Lin Qiye’s spirit perceived all the details. His stomach acid rolled, almost puking out.

Although his mind had long been more mature than his peers, given his hardships, this was still the first time he had seen such a bloody scene.

Now is not the time to throw out.

Without hesitation, Lin Qiye turned around and ran to the other side of the alley while the monster was feasting on Jiang Qian’s body!

The monster had blocked off the previous retreat route, so he could only go the opposite way and run in the direction where Wang Shao suffered his unfortunate fate.

The monster seemed more interested in the corpse and did not catch up, which relieved Lin Qiye slightly.

He did not know what the monster was, but there was no doubt that it did not fall into the category of “human”, nor did it belong to the category of “animal” known to humans.

If someone said that it was an orangutan that suffered mutation from radiation, he might have believed it. This size, strength, and speed were not something that normal humans could contend against.

But it was only a “maybe”.

In this fog-covered world, he, who had witnessed the existence of Seraph with his own eyes, did not think that science was the only truth that existed in the world.

He believed in the “mystical” existence.

At the same time, Lin Qiye found this monster familiar as if he had heard it before.

Just when his thoughts ran wildly, something entered his mental perception range. He halted abruptly.

His breathing became heavier.

The shape of the monster appeared again within ten meters in front of Lin Qiye. He was confident that it was not the one just now.

Although they were similar in appearance, they were definitely different.

The most apparent evidence was that the monster held Wang Shao’s corpse and continued to feast on it.

At this point, Wang Shao’s face was disfigured, leaving only a blurry mass of flesh. Lin Qiya might not have recognized who it was if it were not for his distinctive clothing.

There is another monster.

Also, the one that killed Wang Shao!

When he was with Jiang Qian and the rest previously, he could not see the picture ten meters away and subconsciously thought there was only one monster. However, he seemed to be mistaken in retrospect.

The behavior of the monster that killed Jiang Qian showed that these monsters preferred to feast on corpses instead of chasing the living. Otherwise, Lin Qiye would not have escaped the scene.

But immediately after Wang Shao died, a monster chased after Lin Qiye and the rest.

This could only mean another monster was already enjoying Wang Shao’s corpse.

An alley had two monsters; Lin Qiye’s escape routes were blocked.

Lin Qiye’s face was ashen. A long-lost emotion called despair appeared in his heart.

In the past seventeen years, despair only haunted him twice.

Once, ten years ago, when he saw those eyes on the moon.

Another time would be the current moment.

The monster that had eaten off the face threw away Wang Shao’s dead body like trash. It turned its head to look at Lin Qiye and licked the blood from the corner of its mouth with its scarlet tongue.

At this moment, Lin Qiye wanted to curse.

Damn, why am I so unlucky again!?

I saw the Seraph when I climbed the eaves as a child, blinding myself and falling from the eaves.

The others thought I had a mental illness from the fall and lived in a psychiatric hospital for a year.

Now that I have finally made it out, I’m ready to study hard and take the college entrance examination to welcome a new life…

Stupid ugly bastards come to my face!

Average people never encounter such an event in their entire life, but misfortune fell upon me twice!

This is outrageous!

Under the pressure of death, the anger and grief that had been suppressed in Lin Qiye’s heart for several years spewed out like a volcano!

The fuming anger compressed the fear in his heart. A burst of unknown determination spewed out!

He clenched the white cane tightly, facing the monster that was ready to pounce with its chest undulating.

At this moment, in front of him did not seem to be a monster that had just eaten people, but all the grievances and setbacks he had suffered in the past ten years.

Even Aunty and Yang Jin had no idea about the suppressed anger hidden in the youth’s heart for ten years!

He was not content!

Perhaps he was unaware. Under the turmoil of emotion, his eyes, which had been shut for a decade, trembled intensely as if they were about to finally open.

“Jie—!“

The monster looked at the thin-skinned and tender-fleshed Lin Qiye, like a hooligan who saw a beautiful woman, growled and pounced!

“Damn, I’m not afraid of you!” Lin Qiye yelled, wielding the white cane and rushing toward the pouncing monster.

The distance between the two was rapidly shortening!

Just when the monster’s claws were about to tear through Lin Qiye’s throat, he dodged sideways and avoided the claw attack!

However, although Lin Qiye could perfectly grasp the monster’s movements, his physical fitness was still lacking. The claw scratched his temple and left a faint wound.

At the same time, the black satin eye warp was cut. It fluttered somewhere with the gust of wind.

Lin Qiye closed his eyes, seized the opportunity, shouted, and stabbed the white cane in his hand toward the monster’s belly!

Pa!

The crisp voice sounded. Lin Qiye only felt the weight in his hand gone, and then a massive force struck from behind. The monster’s tail slapped him away directly!

Lin Qiye was whipped to the ground and rolled a few times. He endured the pain and got up. He felt that the white cane in his hand had been broken into two pieces.

The white cane was originally used to guide the blind. The material was not particularly solid, and it was naturally ineffective when it collided with a robust monster.

“Fuck!“

He cursed angrily and threw away the half-severed white cane in his hand.

It was hard to get a chance, and it was wasted just like that.

The broken white cane was like a fuse that detonated Lin Qiye’s emotions. He stood there, his hands clenched tightly, and his nails sank into the flesh, leaving bloodstains.

“This is not fair!” He roared.

At this emotional moment, a strange feeling surged into his heart.

Just like the spring rain, with the water flowing to the channel, a cool breeze flowed out of his heart and reached the stagnant spot in his mind with a gentle touch…

That door opened in response!

Lin Qiye felt a sun burst out in his body, with unprecedented heat filling his whole body. The eyes under his eyelids seemed to be scorched, turning extremely hot!

So, naturally…

He opened his eyes, which had been closed for ten years.

What this pair of eyes last saw was the other pair of eyes, the Seraph’s eyes!

In an instant, a dazzling and blazing beam of light erupted from the alleyway on the edge of the old town, reaching the sky!

At this moment, the night was as bright as day!
