“Fuck you, you asshole!” 

Right after they quietened down, a loud curse suddenly rang out in the ancestral hall. 

Because of Fu Yiran’s words, Liu Kai knew he had been pulled into the ancestral hall by Fu Yiran and Si Yu. He didn’t hear Si Yu’s words at all, and trembled with anger. He grabbed Wen Wen, who had been pulling him along, and wanted to argue. 

“Haven’t I helped you in all the previous worlds? Without me, you would have died!” Liu Kai’s eyes bled, and he was incensed. The sight was incredibly terrifying. 

Faced with Liu Kai’s anger, Wen Wen looked embarrassed and explained in a low voice as he attempted to pull his hand out of Liu Kai’s grip: “I just didn’t manage to respond in time, stop making a fuss, we’re in the ancestral hall now.”

“You just ran away!” Liu Kai said irritably. “How many times have I helped you, Wen asshole? You dare to fucking treat me like this?”

The people around them also tried to persuade him to stop making trouble, and to be quiet. Anyway, Liu Kai was already scared, and he could only rely on Wen Wen, who came with him.

Liu Kai refused to back down, and Wen Wen became angry and embarrassed. He shook his hand hard, struggling to free himself, but Liu Kai acted like he was possessed, demanding Wen Wen to find a reason.

“Liu bastard, are you done?!!!” Wen Wen said angrily.  “You said you helped me before, has Laozi never helped you in return? Laozi was just afraid so I came in first, what’s wrong with that? Fuck you, you’re the blind one, did you not see the needles falling down?! How can Laozi control you?”

Hearing the words that Wen Wen said in a fit of anger, Liu Kai was completely aggravated. He felt that he had been betrayed. Now that he was blind, if there was danger, this bunch of people would definitely throw him to the curb! Every day in the mission world, he treated each day as if it was an entire year, and he was always afraid. Now, the fear that had always been in his heart erupted completely.

The people around them didn’t expect Liu Kai to suddenly throw a fist and try to punch Wen Wen, but Wen Wen also responded quickly. He ducked away from Liu Kai’s punch, and even pushed Liu Kai down. He stumbled, and fell straight onto the Buddha statue on the floor!

“Fuck, his asshole!”

Gu Xizhou heard Fu Yiran’s exclamation next to him: “…”

The corner of the mouth of the Buddha statue that had been sat on slowly raised. His eyes were also bent, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, but the smile had an entirely different aura from the usual Maitreya Buddha. 

Before they could react, the crying sounds that had been slowly disappearing were suddenly replaced by laughing sounds. 

Gu Xizhou noticed that when the laughing started, the needles stopped falling from the sky!

“Hahaha… hahahaha…”

“Hahaha, hahaha…”

“Hahaha, hahaha, hahahaha…”

A woman’s shrill voice suddenly sounded in the ancestral hall. At this moment, Fu Yiran grabbed Si Yu’s clothes. He pointed at the wall and shouted in horror: “What’s that!”

Rows of blood-colored silhouettes appeared on the wall of the ancestral hall. When these shadows gradually became larger, Gu Xizhou also found the source of the grotesque laughter. The laughter came from the wall, as if there were rows of women laughing at the same time.

Seeing that, Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows slightly, and his gaze fell on the wall. The bloody human faces were drilled out of the blood-stained wall in different sizes and shapes, but their similar point was that they had no skin on their faces. Crimson eyes turned back and forth on the people in the crowd until they found a favorite prey.

“Fuck, they’re all looking at Laozi!” Fu Yiran yelled. “Fuck… there’s no reason for that!”

Gu Xizhou noticed that most of the monsters with exposed faces were looking at Fu Yiran.

He felt that this wasn’t unreasonable. These monsters used to be women, so the face of Fu Yiran, a drag queen, would be very popular and the choice of those monsters. 

Slowly, the bodies of the monsters squeezed out of the wall. Their bodies were large and wide, and their limbs were long and thin. They didn’t have any clothes, and the flesh on their body kept falling off onto the ground. The skinless faces kept bleeding.

“Run!”

Everyone had been shocked stupid by the scene before them. Only Si Yu responded the fastest. He grabbed Gu Xizhou as he shouted, and then everyone in the team finally recovered from the startling sight before them. 

Fu Yiran, who had always followed Si Yu, saw Si Yu’s movements, and then looked back at the situation behind him.

Wen Wen, who was with Liu Kai, didn’t even think twice before directly dumping him on the ground, and rushing off behind Si Yu to escape. The blood on the women’s faces slipped down their cheeks, and the ground seemed to turn into a sea of blood. 

“Ahhhh!!” Liu Kai, who didn’t know what had happened, screamed while sitting on the ground, then he attempted to crawl forward on all fours. “Save me… save me!”

His voice trembled. It was a cry for help from the very depths of his soul. Liu Kai crawled forward desperately, but he couldn’t see anything. “Don’t leave me, don’t leave me!!!”

Liu Kai’s eyes bled, and he cried out for help, his entire body shaking. 

Everyone was only concerned with saving themselves, and didn’t hesitate even when they heard that pitiful voice. Everyone thought the man was finished. Then, Gu Xizhou shook off Si Yu’s hand and said: “You run ahead, I’ll go find him!”

“You’re seeking death!” Si Yu said as he raised his eyebrows. 

Gu Xizhou suddenly winked at Si Yu: “Try to guess if I’m really a human?”

Si Yu:  “…”

Si Yu saw Gu Xizhou turn back, and shouted anxiously: “Stand outside, don’t step on the black marble!”

“I know!” Gu Xizhou answered with his back to Si Yu. The monsters that came out of the wall were dripping with blood, and looked extremely scary. The moment Gu Xizhou entered through the door–

Suddenly, a bloody face and a head of black hair hung upside down in front of his eyes. A pair of eyes stared at Gu Xizhou, showing a smile, and reached out to touch Gu Xizhou’s face. 

Gu Xizhou tilted his face slightly away from the monster’s hand, and then used his other hand to pull down the faceless woman that had been hanging upside down and smashed her on the ground!

“Ahhhh!!!” The monster on the ground screamed. Gu Xizhou kicked the monster’s chest, and the monster screamed again. 

Gu Xizhou threw off the five monsters who were holding Liu Kai with one punch. He saw a row of pinholes on Liu Kai’s left cheek, and helped him up. 

Liu Kai appeared to have been frightened to the point of losing his mind. He struggled frantically, until he lost whatever energy he had left. “Ahhhhhh…”

“Shut up, I’m Gu Ran.” Gu Xizhou told Liu Kai. “Don’t move, I’ll bring you  out.”

“I… I…” Liu Kai collapsed and cried, grabbing Gu Xizhou with his hands, crying with a face full of snot and tears. 

Gu Xizhou picked up the monsters that rushed at him like chicks and threw them away, smashing the walls of the entire ancestral hall. 

Bang!!!

The blind Liu Kai was like a startled bird, and he grabbed Gu Xizhou’s clothes in fear. He asked in a shaking voice: “What, what was that, what are you doing?”

Gu Xizhou said lightly: “It’s nothing. Those monsters have left. Follow me, and walk slowly.”

Liu Kai slowly reached a hand out to feel his surroundings. Because he couldn’t see, he felt incredibly unsafe, and was trembling.

In fact, Gu Xizhou didn’t lie to him. Those monsters who did not go out voluntarily had been thrown out by him. 

It wasn’t like Gu Xizhou didn’t attempt to kill those monsters. However, the moment he had killing intent, he would be bound by some sort of invisible power, just like back in his dream, where an invisible chain bound him tightly. 

“Let’s go.”

Gu Xizhou took Liu Kai out of the ancestral hall, and the monsters who had just came out of the walls seemed to have given up attacking Gu Xizhou and Liu Kai, so this strange scene appeared–there were countless monsters crawling on the road outside the ancestral hall, and they timidly looked at the two people walking, as if considering attempting an attack.

“Are we alright?” Liu Kai repeatedly asked in a low voice. “Are we alright?”

Gu Xizhou said: “We should be okay, let’s go back to the village first.”

“You, why did you come back to save me? We… haven’t even spoken more than a few sentences,” Liu Kai asked quietly.

Gu Xizhou: “No reason, I just wanted to.”

Liu Kai: “… Thank you.”

After hearing this, Liu Kai didn’t push for more. Instead, he nervously followed behind Gu Xizhou and kept asking: “Those monsters didn’t come after us?”

Gu Xizhou glanced at the monsters who looked like they wanted to attempt an attack, and said lightly: “No.”

“Sigh–” Hearing this, Liu Kai breathed a long sigh of relief.
