Ah Hu had no idea what Ming Zhuo was doing, let alone who she was talking to.

But after Mingzhuo's words, he clearly felt the force that had been silently competing with him suddenly loosen, and the steering wheel, brakes, and accelerator became responsive again.

Gu Xu turned his head to look at the four cars that were chasing them. The driver of the closest car looked terrified, as if he had seen something horrifying.

Following closely behind, four vehicles twisted and collided one after another, then overturned off the gravel road and plunged into the woods below.

Those people deliberately drove a few beat-up cars, so the damage wasn't too severe, but the people involved were clearly in bad shape.

The first driver, who scrambled out of the vehicle, yelled, "Ghost! There's a ghost! Help!"

Its cries were so pitiful, as if its liver and gallbladder were about to burst.

Ah Hu steadily steered the car, quickly leaving the four cars far behind.

He Wangyao silently gripped the amulet in her hand, watching the scene in the woods. Ah, watching someone else being chased by a ghost is quite stress-relieving.

Finally, someone took my place and became the unlucky one.

The car drove all the way into the mountains before Mingzhuo finally stopped.

There were no stars or moon tonight, and it was pitch black all around, with only the car headlights illuminating a small area ahead.

This is a bamboo forest, and something seems to be hidden in the deeper, darker night.

He Wangyao got out of the car and touched the goosebumps on her arm. "Boss, what are we doing here?"

This place is far too remote, and perhaps because it's in the mountains, it's not very hot at all; in fact, it's quite shady.

Mingzhuo glanced around. "Don't you think this place is pretty good? Even if you do something, no one will hear you even if you scream your lungs out."

He Wangyao: "..."

What kind of villainous line is this? Don't you think something's off?

“But there’s no one else here besides us.” Pei Di looked around.

"Who said there was no one? They're here already!" Mingzhuo looked up at the woods in front of him.

Hou Linhao walked out with red eyes, his expression ferocious and terrifying. "Give me back my things right now."

He almost succeeded. If it weren't for these people, everything would have gone smoothly, and he could have continued to enjoy his wealth and luxury. No, Ruan Tiantian soon gave birth to twins. By sacrificing three blood relatives in succession, his luck would turn around, and his wealth would reach a new level.

Hou Zhihui stepped forward: "Lin Hao, are you crazy? This human bone is nothing but a bad thing. Where did you get it? Tell me right now!"

He was genuinely worried about Hou Linhao, after all, the two families had a good relationship, and even though Hou Linhao had been developing his career in Hong Kong for many years, they had always kept in touch.

I simply cannot bear to see the other person go astray, commit countless evil deeds, and become irreversible.

"What good will come from associating with evil and crooked paths? Listen to me, turn back before it's too late!"

Mingzhuo said lazily, "Do you think he even looks like a human being now?"

Hou Zhihui was stunned for a moment, then met Hou Linhao's scarlet eyes. In that instant, the chilling killing intent within them made her heart go numb.

Pei Di, who was standing next to him, pulled him back, allowing him to avoid Hou Linhao's sudden thrust of the knife.

After regaining his footing, Hou Zhihui felt a wave of fear. He had been careless, thinking that the other party was alone and wouldn't dare to do anything. But what wouldn't a desperate person do?

Hou Linhao, having failed in his first attack, did not linger and pounced on Gu Xu the next second.

He's at his wit's end now, and all he can see is that piece of white bone, which is the key to his comeback!

Mingzhuo was shocked to see that Ah Xu was standing there looking so clean and refreshed, like a painting. In the middle of summer, he felt cool and sweat-free, and was not someone who would fight with others.

Without thinking, she pulled Gu Xu behind her, then kicked him in the chest, sending him flying.

Hou Linhao lay motionless on the ground. Hou Zhihui felt a pang of pity. Could it be that the kick was too hard?

Just as he was about to step forward to check, he noticed that Hou Linhao suddenly stood up in a strange and unnatural manner.

At the same time, rustling sounds came from the surrounding bamboo forest.

What followed was an extremely terrifying scene.

Dark shadows crawled out of the ground like a tide. These things were not human-shaped, but fragmented, consisting of a hand, an eyeball, and a foot.

It's like something ate everything, leaving only these incomplete and fragmented organs...

The moment the thought crossed He Wangyao's mind, she immediately covered her mouth in fright. Stop! Stop it! Don't think like that!

Gu Xu couldn't see anything, but seemed to sense something. He looked up at the bamboo forest and then at Hou Linhao.

Blood slowly trickled from the corner of Hou Linhao's mouth, but he didn't feel it at all; his eyes were calm yet crazed.

"It promised to help me, on the condition that I sacrifice the lives of all my blood relatives... Anyway, my parents have lived long enough and should die, and Little Custard should never have come into this world in the first place."

"It's okay, I still have a chance to turn things around! As long as I have money, I can have children with any woman I want in the future and complete the sacrifice. Yes, I still have a chance!"

Hou Zhihui's heart sank when she saw this. My God, just as Mingzhuo said, there was no trace of a living person left.

This is a demon in human skin!

Mingzhuo was quite satisfied with the recording on her phone. She liked this kind of self-aware and talkative villain, which could be used as evidence when the police arrived.

Who is it? Where did you meet it?

Hou Linhao grinned, "Why should I tell you?"

Mingzhuo put away his phone: "Okay, let's finish this quickly. The police are on their way, and I won't be able to resort to vigilante justice later."

"Use...use vigilante justice? What do you mean by using vigilante justice?" Hou Zhihui wondered.

But he soon found out.
