I couldn't help but gasp; these people had unwittingly helped us.

After all, if only a few of us ran that way, those spreading black hairs would all target us.

After a lot of effort, we finally squeezed to the side of the long table.

But the bottom was already covered in foul blood. The old man sighed in despair when he saw this. I gritted my teeth and sprinkled the remaining glutinous rice, iron powder and cinnabar down there.

Suddenly, accompanied by rising thick smoke, the filthy blood disappeared. The three of us quickly climbed in, and didn't forget to pull the old man out of the way.

When the old man saw my actions, his eyes widened. He looked at me and said in a low voice, "You are not ordinary people. You brought these things with you. Did you foresee that things would be unusual here?"

I shook my head. I wasn't in the mood to talk to him anymore. "Let's focus on surviving first. This isn't the place to chat."

The space was cramped and filled with the smell of wood and dust, barely enough for five or six people to huddle together.

We had just walked in when several more guests rushed in without a care in the world, nearly crushing Li Huai.

If that's all there is to it, we won't bother with it.

But even after they realized it seemed safe, they kept pushing their way in, almost squeezing Luo Tianhe out of the way.

"Get out! There's not enough room!"

Luo Tianhe shouted, but the two men wouldn't listen and desperately tried to shrink back inside.

"Why should I!"

A middle-aged man retorted, still unconvinced.

His matter-of-fact attitude almost made me laugh in anger. Not only did we discover this place, but if it weren't for the glutinous rice, cinnabar, and iron powder I sprinkled, they would have died as soon as they came in!

Just then, an even more shrill scream came from outside the room. The voice sounded familiar, and I didn't bother arguing with those two idiots anymore. I looked over and found that the dead man was surnamed Wu.

A dark red tentacle, like a venomous snake, coiled around his calf and dragged him to the ground!

Immediately, more pus, blood, and black hair surged up and instantly engulfed him!

Mr. Wu only had time to let out that cry of pain before his body shrank rapidly, as if all the moisture had been drained away, leaving his face still showing fear and disbelief.

The gray-haired fat man was terrified at the sight and, no longer caring about stopping them, scrambled under the table with his last remaining subordinate.

Seeing that the case file was already full, a ferocious look appeared on his fat face. He tried to drag the people inside out, and his target happened to be Luo Tianhe.

Luo Tianhe swung his stick at him, and he immediately became obedient.

"Hehe, you can't touch these people, but you can drag those two out; that's just enough for the two of you to come in."

Luo Tianhe pointed at me, Mr. Tan, and Li Huai, indicating that we shouldn't move.

Seeing this, the fat man in the gray suit didn't bother to dwell on his past grievances with Luo Tianhe, as saving his own life was the priority.

He realized from that moment that Luo Tianhe was exceptionally skilled, and if he continued to fight him, he probably wouldn't have much time left to live!

So he grabbed the two men by the collar and dragged them out roughly.

"No, no, brother, please!"

"Don't make me leave! I'll do anything! I can give you money, lots and lots of money!"

The two men immediately burst into tears and begged for mercy, but the fat man in the gray suit didn't care and dragged them out!

Whether annoyed by their shouting or fearing retaliation, the fat man in the gray suit threw them into the filthy blood some distance away.

Immediately, despair appeared on the faces of the two people, and they cursed incessantly, filled with venomous resentment!

The pus and blood, along with the strands of hair, were like sharks attracted by the smell of blood, and they quickly wrapped themselves around the two of them!

Instantly, their bodies shriveled up rapidly, quickly turning into two cold corpses!

That fat bastard is really ruthless. Not only did he drag them both out, he actually...

After clearing away the troublesome fellow, the fat man in the gray suit scrambled down to the bottom of the river.

"Get out of my way!"

At this point, Luo Tianhe wouldn't tolerate him anymore. He kicked him in the face, sending him flying.

The kick was powerful and caught the fat man in the suit completely off guard, causing him to follow in the footsteps of the other two men, screaming as he was dragged into the darkness, his voice abruptly cut off.

Seeing this, the other security guard also dared not go in. He stood there for a few seconds, hesitated, and then gritted his teeth and ran into the remaining crowd.

In the cramped space of the crime scene, the four of us huddled together. Every now and then, a few screams would come from outside, followed by eerie wriggling sounds, crawling sounds, and teeth-grinding sucking sounds.

Suddenly, a man with a dirty face squeezed in. Luo Tianhe saw that his behavior wasn't too outrageous; he took up a little space and then stopped pushing his way in. He wasn't one of the security guards from before, so Luo Tianhe ignored him.

To be honest, we have no grudge against these people, and we don't care about their lives or deaths. Unless they are courting death, we will not lay a hand on them.

If they had the capacity, they would even lend them a hand. Suddenly, the man began to tremble violently, his face turned blue, his eyes rolled back, and he made a hoarse sound in his throat.

"What happened to him?"

Li Huai asked in alarm, and unconsciously shrank back towards us, keeping a distance from him.

When I looked at him, I saw that his brow was dark and his forehead was filled with a deathly aura.

"They came in too late and were invaded too deeply by the yin energy. They can't hold on any longer."

As soon as I finished speaking, the man suddenly opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of thick, yellow pus and blood, just like the old man, which also contained small fragments of internal organs.

His head lolled to the side, and he stopped breathing. His body quickly began to decompose, covered in lividity.

I couldn't help but exchange a glance with Luo Tian and Li Huai: "Luo Tianhe, throw his body out."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianhe gagged, not wanting to touch the already rotting corpse at all.

I looked at Li Huai, who took several steps back.

Helpless, I could only take out a few yellow talismans to wrap my hands, and then laboriously push the man's corpse out.

The people outside aren't all dead yet, but they're basically beyond saving.

We huddled under the desk, listening to the hellish sounds outside, smelling the strong stench of blood and decay, and felt that time was passing so slowly, each second feeling like a year.

After an unknown amount of time, the noise outside gradually subsided. The wriggling and crawling sounds were still there, but at least the screams and sucking sounds seemed to have disappeared.

It's only just begun, and the night is still long. Just hiding here isn't a solution.

I cautiously peered out through the crack.

The flashlights had long been turned off, and only the light from the red lanterns shining through the window could barely illuminate the outline of the tea room.
