"What's that sound?" Bai Xiaolin exclaimed in surprise, looking towards the window with a terrified expression.
"Shh—" Wu Yuan made a shushing gesture, listened carefully for a while, and then said in a serious voice, "It sounds like a chainsaw."
"Is it a cannibal?" Bai Xiaolin swallowed hard, a sudden surge of tension washing over him, causing his palms to quickly become sweaty.
Chen Zhi finally caught her breath. She clutched her chest, her heart still pounding. "I saw a person wearing a black cloak and a black triangular hood walking this way. He was even taller than Brother Wu, just like the axe giant in a movie I once saw. It was terrifying!"
"Buzz—"
The sound of the chainsaw suddenly intensified, seemingly coming from right outside the door! Even through the door, the ferocity in the sound was palpable! It charged into the house with a bloodthirsty and arrogant aura!
"Sizzle—"
The sound of a chainsaw cutting through something filled the air, and Bai Xiaolin's back broke out in a cold sweat. The urge to urinate surged intensely within him. "What do we do? What do we do? That cannibal is coming in!"
"What are you panicking about?" Wu Yuan frowned and glanced at Bai Xiaolin. He tensed his muscles, stood by the door with his back against the wall, and every cell in his body was on high alert, ready to trap the cannibal the moment it broke in.
Seeing Wu Yuan's actions, Bai Xiaolin finally snapped out of his panic and quickly found a place to hide. The others also hid themselves, and Chen Zhi grabbed the escalator and ran up to the second floor.
Xia Linyin hid behind the sofa, clutching a clown doll tightly in her hand. She cautiously peeked out a little, keeping a close eye on the door that seemed ready to be slashed open by the cannibal at any moment.
With a loud bang, the door that the ogre had kicked open slammed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Amidst the swirling dust, the ogre's towering figure resembled an ancient giant, exuding an intense sense of oppression!
Standing at nearly two meters tall, he wore a black triangular hood with only two holes cut out for his eyes, obscuring his face. His neck was also completely covered by the hood. He wore a tattered black cloak and held a chainsaw that was buzzing loudly, which was quite terrifying!
"A net of heaven and earth, cover us!"
With Wu Yuan's shout, a large white net with fine holes, like the sticky silk spun by a spider, suddenly covered the ogre's body, clinging tightly to it!
Whether startled by the sudden turn of events or not, the ogre, tightly trapped in the net, did not move. Wu Yuan frowned. Normally, when suddenly trapped in a net, one would instinctively struggle, and the more one struggled, the tighter the net would tighten. However, this ogre did not move at all, but stood motionless in place.
Regardless of whether the cannibal was caught off guard, this was the perfect opportunity for them to attack. Wu Yuan shouted, "Sakura Mie!"
The golden arrow shot out with lightning speed, like a golden ray, straight towards the ogre's chest, piercing it accurately, leaving only a delicate tip sticking out, shimmering with golden light.
Everyone held their breath. Bai Xiaolin couldn't help but cautiously peek out from behind the curtains to look at the ogre who had been struck by Cupid's arrow.
The gruesome scene of tearing out the heart did not occur. Instead, the tall body shuddered, and with a "snap," the ogre broke the large net covering its body. The white net shattered into pieces and was thrown away, landing on the ground like tattered cloth.
Wu Yuan stared wide-eyed, his pupils almost popping out of their sockets, looking at the shattered net on the ground with disbelief and shock. Broken...broken?
The inescapable net, which could not be cut with a knife or burned with fire, was broken just like that?
What happened to the promise that once caught in a net, there's no way to escape?
What's going on with this situation?
After breaking free of the large net covering him, the ogre raised his large, black-gloved hand and slowly pulled out the Cupid's arrow that was embedded in his chest, then casually tossed the blood-stained golden arrow to the ground.
Sakura Miho's face finally revealed an expression other than a blank expression and a sweet smile. She looked at Cupid's Arrow, which had been discarded by the ogre, with her big eyes full of incomprehension.
Bai Xiaolin, on the other hand, huddled tightly against the window, trembling behind the curtains, with only one thought in his mind: it's all over, it's all over, it's all over.
What he didn't know was that even though he tried his best to shrink himself down, wishing he could shrink to the size of a quail so that no one would notice that there was someone hiding behind the curtain, his body was shaking so violently that the curtain was also shaken as if it were on vibrate mode.
Seeing the ogre raise its chainsaw to cut towards Wu Yuan, Xia Linyin quickly threw out a clown doll. The doll, with a sinister smile on its face, hit the ogre's body and fell to the ground.
The ogre stopped what it was doing and looked down at the doll on the ground.
Hehehehe—
A strange laugh came from the doll's mouth. Touching its head, the doll got up from the ground, its small body turning left and right as if it couldn't find its way. Its confused movements were quite comical.
The clown pinched the red ball on his nose, tilted his head, and asked, "Huh? Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?"
"Oh! I'm the clown, I'm here to make people happy!" The clown slapped his forehead, his smile widening even further.
"Great! My master has chosen you!" The clown clapped his hands and pointed at the ogre. "If I can make you laugh to death, then I'll be the most hilarious clown in the world!"
"So—" the clown shrugged, his mouth twisted into a wide grin, "Hehehehehe, laugh, laugh, laugh like crazy, hehehehehe—"
The clown's eerie laughter echoed in the living room, while the ogre it was pointing at remained unmoved as it stared at it.
Xia Linyin clenched her fists anxiously. Normally, the ogre should have laughed along with the clown, but now, not only was he not laughing uncontrollably, the ogre wasn't laughing at all!
"Laugh! Laugh! Laugh now!" Xia Linyin urged in her heart.
Even Wu Yuan, who had remained calm and composed, broke out in a cold sweat. Things had completely exceeded his expectations, and the current situation was extremely dangerous and unfavorable for them!
"Hehehehe..." The clown's laughter grew softer and softer until it finally stopped, as if he had grown tired of laughing.
Its tiny body, as if it had run out of energy, lay motionless on the ground again, just like any other doll.
The worst thing is when the air suddenly freezes. After the clown's laughter stops, the room falls into an eerie silence, thick and stagnant, making you afraid to even breathe.
