"Wang Shao?!" Li Yifei and the other two exclaimed in unison when they heard the familiar voice.
The three of them exchanged a glance and then took off running towards the alley where Wang Shao had left.
Lin Qiye stood alone in place, frowning as he looked at the dark alley, his expression rather solemn.
Although he didn't know what had happened, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
The outskirts of the old urban area, a crazy serial killer, a strange stench, and a scream...
Something was off.
He hesitated on the spot for a while. After a mental struggle, he let out a helpless sigh. In the end, he picked up the white cane in his hand and rushed towards the alley.
Under normal circumstances, when Lin Qiye encountered such a situation, he would definitely not meddle in other people's business. Instead, he would run in the opposite direction as far as he could!
Since someone had already screamed, it meant that it was definitely not a good thing.
Not a good thing meant trouble.
Robbery, murder, or witnessing a crime scene... Lin Qiye didn't want to get involved in any of these.
He didn't have such a strong curiosity that he wanted to know what had happened. He also didn't have an excessive amount of sympathy that he wanted to be a hero.
Most importantly, he couldn't fight. What if he lost his life there?
But the current situation was a bit different.
If they hadn't taken the initiative to escort Lin Qiye home, perhaps Wang Shao would have already gone back via another route, or he would have gone back a few minutes earlier and wouldn't have encountered this situation.
He really didn't like meddling in other people's affairs, but he disliked owing favors even more.
Anyway, he at least had to go and see what had happened. It could be considered as fulfilling his obligation. If he encountered any danger, he would just run away.
Although Lin Qiye had his eyes covered, his speed was not slow at all. The closer he got to the source of the scream, the more tightly his brows furrowed.
The stench was getting stronger and stronger.
"Ahhhh!!!"
The second scream came from the corner ahead. This time, it was a woman's voice.
Jiang Qian!
Lin Qiye suddenly stopped at the corner of the alley. The figures of Jiang Qian and the other two appeared within his range of mental perception.
Not far in front of him, Jiang Qian was collapsed on the ground, staring in horror at the front with her mouth wide open, and her whole body was trembling!
In front of her, Liu Yuan and Li Yifei were frozen in place like stone sculptures, their eyes fixed on the front, also trembling!
Further away... Lin Qiye couldn't perceive it.
His eyes still couldn't be opened, so he couldn't see the world with his own eyes. And the range of his mental perception was only ten meters. So there was an extremely awkward situation.
Within ten meters, he could see everything clearly. Beyond ten meters, he was a real blind person.
What on earth had Jiang Qian and the other two seen to be so frightened?
Although he couldn't see, his hearing was very sharp. He could clearly hear a rustling sound not far away.
It was as if someone was gnawing on something, and they were gnawing very wildly and with great relish.
Well... it sounded just like when the little scamp was gnawing on a bone.
"What happened?" Lin Qiye asked in a low voice.
Jiang Qian seemed to be startled by Lin Qiye's appearance. She frantically grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands, and her teeth were chattering!
"Monster... The monster is gnawing on Wang Shao's face!"
Lin Qiye's face immediately changed!
"Run!!"
Lin Qiye and Li Yifei shouted at the same time!
As soon as this word came out, Liu Yuan was like a crazy wild dog. He suddenly turned around and started running back. After bumping into Lin Qiye's shoulder and staggering, he quickly got up and ran for his life!
"Monster... Help! Someone! Monster!" He screamed loudly as he ran.
Lin Qiye was caught off guard by his collision and staggered. Just as he steadied himself, a dull crashing sound came from a distance.
It was as if a brown bear had stomped on the ground and was running towards him.
Jiang Qian's pupils suddenly contracted. Somehow, she found the strength to get up from the ground like lightning and ran away screaming.
As for Li Yifei... He had already started running as soon as he shouted the word "run", and he was even a bit faster than Liu Yuan, who had pushed Lin Qiye aside.
If Liu Yuan hadn't bumped into Lin Qiye and made him stagger just now, he would have already run a long way.
But just because of that momentary delay, he was now at the back, just like Jiang Qian.
At this moment, it seemed that everyone had forgotten Lin Qiye's identity as a "disabled person". The classmates who had just vowed to escort him home had completely left him behind.
Facing such a bloody and terrifying scene, fear had taken over everyone's minds.
Just as Lin Qiye had run a few steps, something entered his range of mental perception within ten meters.
It looked like a person, but not quite.
It was like a person because it had limbs and a head like a human. It wasn't like a person because at this moment, it was running on the ground using all four limbs, just like a hyena, and its body was as burly as a brown bear!
Most importantly, there was a ghostly face on its head.
Pale and twisted.
Its long, pointed, and scarlet tongue was like a snake, extending half a meter out of its mouth and wriggling nimbly.
Lin Qiye's face immediately turned grim.
It was too fast. In just a few steps, it had rushed from beyond ten meters into his range of mental perception and was still approaching him at an astonishing speed!
He could already feel a gust of wind blowing from behind.
Jiang Qian, who was next to him, also had this feeling. Her face instantly turned pale. Fear and panic filled her heart. She stiffly turned her head a little bit, wanting to see how far the monster was from her.
It should... still be far away, right?
"Don't look back!" Lin Qiye's voice suddenly came from the side.
But it was too late. Jiang Qian's pupils suddenly contracted. That ferocious and terrifying ghostly face was almost pressed against her face. She could feel the strong smell of blood emanating from the other party!
"Ahhhh!!!"
The scream resounded through the alley again. She suddenly closed her eyes and turned around, trying to take off her schoolbag and throw it at the Masked Man.
She was completely panicked.
A schoolbag was not a weapon, and she was not a trained fighter.
In such a life-and-death moment, whoever lost their calm first would lose their chance of survival.
The Masked Man grabbed the strap of the schoolbag. The brutal force was transmitted to Jiang Qian's body. She suddenly lost her balance and staggered and fell to the ground!
A heavy black shadow suddenly fell and landed on her...
The next moment, blood stained the night red.
