Suddenly, a sound of something breaking rang in his ears. Chu Xiao swallowed hard, his heart pounding like thunder, pounding so hard it felt like it was about to leap out of his throat.
Even though the rain was pouring outside the car, echoing in the empty world and silencing countless other sounds, he could still hear his heartbeat clearly, as well as the sound of it cracking.
Chu Xiao vaguely guessed something, but hoped that things were not as he thought.
How scary! How terrifying!
He turned around with difficulty, his brows furrowed and his eyes narrowed. Just as he expected!
The mask was hitting his car window, and the sturdy window was cracking little by little. The cracks reminded Chu Xiao of a spider web that kept expanding outward, slowly eroding his anxious heart.
Damn! He just bought a car! Just thinking about how much money it would cost to replace the car windows made Chu Xiao very tempted.
What's even more distressing is that his life... might end here.
The masked figure smiled eerily and terrifyingly; a thunderclap swept by, casting a ghastly pale light upon the mask.
Chu Xiao considered driving away immediately, but he feared the child wouldn't be able to find him if he left. Besides, seeing the mask relentlessly pursuing him and getting closer and closer, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to escape its clutches.
Chu Xiao reached into his coat and touched the cold, hard gun. His other hand touched the car door handle.
Despite the terror of being devoured, Chu Xiao acted decisively. Just before the car window shattered completely, he opened the car door with lightning speed and jumped out of the car.
"Bang!"
Thunderclaps drowned out all sound, and gunshots pierced the sky.
"..."
The masked figure realized what was happening, turned around, and smiled slightly at Chu Xiao in the rain.
Even though it didn't open its mouth, Chu Xiao seemed to be awakened, and heard it say, "Why are you meddling in other people's business? I only need two people, and you forced me to... you offered yourself up..."
Chu Xiao was completely confused, but that didn't stop him from continuing to fire. Although his marksmanship wasn't perfect, his accuracy was still as high as 95%.
He just shot the mask, and it's completely unharmed! How is that possible?
Even if it can move and have expressions, the mask is just an ordinary face mask, how could it be without the slightest scratch?
Through the rain, a large truck approached steadily in the distance. Chu Xiao holstered his gun and was about to run back to the roadside, but he soon found himself suddenly unable to move, unable to take a single step.
He suddenly opened his eyes wide, cursing the masked faces a thousand times in his mind, having already abandoned his manners as a civilized person.
Damn it, what's the point of talking about manners at a time like this? All he knows is that he might die.
Chu Xiao silently wept. He hadn't even gotten married yet, hadn't even left any offspring for the Chu family, how could he have to die so young?
As Chu Xiao pondered, he imagined what offerings and flowers would be placed on his tombstone after his death. He resignedly closed his eyes.
"..."
"..."
The rain grew louder and louder, hurriedly washing everything in the world. Everything around seemed to stand still.
Chu Xiao quickly realized that he was suspended in mid-air.
Damn... died so quickly? Did his soul leave his body?
"Officer, you're really heavy, you should lose weight," Lu Shu's sincere complaint came from above Chu Xiao's head.
The man opened his eyes in surprise—the help the child had sought had arrived?!
He paused, not daring to be assertive, and could only weakly defend himself: "I...I have the physique of a standard male model. I'm not heavy."
Lu Shu struggled to lift him by the scruff of his neck. Lu Shu glanced at Chu Xiao's car, then simply transformed, tossing the man onto its back. Ignoring the mask and Chu Xiao's beloved car, it flicked its tail and galloped off towards Wu Yue's house.
