Her eyes still gleamed red, as if she were searching for her next prey.
The man's body lay silently on the ground, a victim of this horrific event.
"Old man, did you hear that voice? It's Gen'er's voice." Xiu'er's mother felt a strange unease welling up inside her; the voice seemed to carry some kind of ominous premonition.
She frowned deeply, her eyes filled with worry.
"What could it be? Gen'er must have just complained about something unpleasant," Old Man Shi said dismissively, a hint of impatience on his face.

She tried to escape, but found that her body was frozen in place and she could not move.
Xiuer slowly walked into the house, her steps heavy and slow, each step seeming to tread on the old woman's heart.
Those eerie red eyes gleamed in the darkness, sending chills down one's spine.
