Chapter 236 Hope and Despair
"Don't try to be mysterious. I... I'm not afraid of you." The yellow-haired man said bravely, "I don't care whether you are human or ghost. Don't even think about leaving here today."
After saying that, he pulled the trigger again without hesitation and fired several shots in a row.
Gunshots continued to ring out.
But the situation was the same as before. The flying bullets were completely unable to hurt Lu Yichen and Zhong Nian Yao.
Looking at the pistol that had no bullets left, the yellow-haired man's expression changed at a visible speed. He no longer had the arrogance he had just had, but was replaced by panic.
He took a step back, and before anyone could react, he turned around and fled.
They were just a bunch of rabble to begin with, and now that their leader had run away, the remaining people naturally had no backbone and immediately started fleeing again.
Looking at the group of yellow-haired people running towards the entrance of the alley, Zhong Nianyao's mouth curled up into a meaningful smile, as if she was talking to herself, or to the people around her, "Want to leave? It's too late."
Lu Yichen beside him still had a cold expression on his face, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. When he looked towards the entrance of the alley, he exuded a captivating aura.
Huangmao and his group were running towards the alley entrance at the fastest speed in their lives. Although they had no idea who the man and woman were, they were not afraid of bullets. Even if they were not ghosts, they were not ordinary people.
Although these people usually rob and kill people, they are definitely not as powerful as the other party. If they continue to stay, they will probably lose their lives.
Although they have killed people, they still cherish their lives.
At this moment, they even vaguely regretted why they had looked for these two people just now.
Seeing the alley entrance just ahead, Huangmao and the others couldn't help but sparkle with hope. If only they could get out of this alley, there would be a main road outside, full of people coming and going. As long as they got out, they would be safe.
The more they thought about it, the faster they ran. They used all their strength and ran away at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
There is often only a fine line between hope and despair.
Just as they ran out of the alley, Huangmao and the others sadly discovered that they were back in the alley again.
When Zhong Nianyao saw Huang Mao and the others appear, she even smiled, raised her hand, waved towards them, and greeted them enthusiastically, "Hi!"
In the eyes of Huangmao and others, that beautiful face was a hundred times more terrifying than a demon.
They screamed and turned to flee again.
They ran like this again and again, and every time when they thought they had escaped, they were back in the alley again.
Just like watching a good show, Zhong Nianyao watched with great interest as the yellow-haired group continued to run. Then she looked at Lu Yichen beside her and said with a smile, "Tell me, they have run so many times, don't they feel tired?"
Even she, a mere spectator, felt tired just watching. These yellow-haired people were truly tireless!
"Faced with the threat of death, people can unleash endless potential." Lu Yichen's tone was devoid of warmth. "They won't stop unless they can't run anymore."
"Then let's wait and see!" Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "I want to see how far their potential goes."
Finally, Huangmao and the others were completely exhausted. They collapsed to the ground, and when they looked at Lu Yichen and Zhong Nian Yao, their eyes were filled with fear.
"Very scared, huh?" Zhong Nianyao smiled brightly. "Tell me, those people you robbed and killed, did they feel the same way when they faced you?"
Huangmao immediately got up from the ground, then knelt in front of Zhong Nianyao, and began to kowtow and beg for mercy, "Please, let me go! As long as you are willing to let me go, I can give you all my property, all of it, just ask you to spare my life."
"But what can I do?" Zhong Nianyao pouted, tilted her head, and spoke with an embarrassed look, "I have no interest in your property at all. Besides, you know how much blood is stained on your money. I still think it's dirty!"
"Sister, aunt, please be magnanimous and just treat me like a fart!" Huangmao was crying with snot and tears. "I promise, I will never do bad things again in the future, otherwise I will be struck by lightning. If you just let me go this time, I will donate all my property as soon as I go back, and do more good deeds in the future to make up for the wrong things I did in the past."
"That's right, that's right, Auntie. When we get back, we'll immediately quit doing these sneaky things."
"If you are a great man and don't bear grudges, please let us go this time!"
Others also knelt down and began to kowtow and beg for mercy.
Zhong Nianyao's face didn't show any emotion. She looked at the yellow-haired leader with a cold smile on her face. "Why are you kneeling down and begging for mercy now? Just now, weren't you planning to make me suffer?"
"It's all my fault. I'm the meanest."
As he spoke, the yellow-haired man started slapping himself. He slapped himself left and right, one after another, not daring to stop.
Others also began to slap themselves in the face.
Zhong Nian Yao watched these people's actions but did not call for them to stop.
Seeing this, Huangmao and his group naturally did not dare to stop.
It was not until both sides of their faces were swollen like pigs' heads, blood began to seep from the corners of their mouths, and even their hands were numb, that they heard Zhong Nianyao speak again.
But what the other party said made them feel like they were falling into an ice cellar again.
"Do you know what happened to the people who spoke foul language to me last time?" Zhong Nianyao spoke slowly, the smile on her face suddenly turning evil. "They were all eaten by hundreds of ghosts, and not even their souls were left. In other words, they have disappeared from this world without a trace."
Huang Mao and his group felt a piercing chill rising from the soles of their feet, causing them to shiver. When they looked at Zhong Nianyao again, the initial amazement in their eyes was gone, replaced by deep fear.
Although they didn't know what being bitten by a hundred ghosts meant, the fact that not even the soul was left was a thousand times more terrifying than death.
