Chapter 450 The darker the path, the deeper the sinking.
Chen Yue thought that Chen Haonan had made enemies while mingling in the underworld, which was why he needed to run to the north. Little did she know that Chen Haonan had countless enemies in the dark world of Guangzhou. When did he ever need to run away?
But this time, the trouble they've provoked is different.
Chen Yue gripped her older brother's hand tighter, as if afraid that Chen Haonan would refuse her at any moment and leave.
Just as the brother and sister were silent, a strong gust of wind blew in through the open window, making Chen Yue unable to open her eyes.
Chen Haonan, however, was completely unaffected. He clearly saw the entire process of his two bodyguards appearing in the room like ghosts.
The two girls are wearing the same style of dress today; the left protector is in black, and the right protector is in white.
There is no longer any so-called Corpse Demon Organization; we should now refer to them by their original names.
The left protector is called Bai Lingling, and the right protector is called Bai Miaomiao.
Chen Haonan was shocked and stared at the Bai sisters with a frightened expression. He subconsciously stood in front of his sister. Chen Yue barely opened her eyes and found two very pretty girls in the small room.
Her older brother stood protectively in front of her, and Chen Yue asked in confusion, "Brother, are these two your friends?"
Bai Miaomiao snorted coldly, her blood-red eyes staring indifferently at Chen Haonan and Chen Yue.
"Friends? He doesn't deserve the title. He's nothing but our dog."
Chen Haonan gritted his teeth, knowing that his strength was far inferior to Bai Lingling and Bai Miaomiao.
Bai Miaomiao was very angry because Chen Haonan ran away alone, which led to Abei being unable to withstand the attack and being killed by the ghost hunter.
But Zhang Bichen has spoken up, saying she wants to recruit Chen Haonan, and Bai Lingling and Bai Miaomiao are now very obedient to Zhang Bichen.
Bai Miaomiao really liked the clumsy and silly Abei. To her, Abei was an obedient big dog. Naturally, she was unhappy when her favorite dog died.
As the strongest under Nangong, Bai Miaomiao showed no mercy and instantly severed Chen Haonan's limbs.
"You got off easy."
Chen Yue was terrified by the scene. She quickly hugged Chen Haonan, and Chen Haonan's blood stained Chen Yue's body and sprayed blood all over the room.
"Big brother!! Are you alright?!"
Chan Ho-nam calmly shook his head. The corpse demon had no sense of pain, but because it hadn't eaten, its recovery was very slow, and no changes were visible.
Chen Yue fainted from fright. Chen Haonan had no hands and couldn't support her, so he could only let his sister fall to the floor.
Bai Lingling grabbed a pillow from the small bed and threw it at Chen Yue, protecting Chen Yue's head.
Her voice was very pleasant. Unlike her younger sister, who had a fiery temper, Bai Lingling was a bit more restrained.
“Chen Haonan, we Corpse Demons and Ghost Hunters have reconciled. We can live in the sunlight again. That day you ran away, a powerful figure set up an array so that we no longer have to devour the flesh and blood of the living.”
"Once you've recovered, come back to the ancient temple and find us. We'll take you to see that powerful figure to help you, and then you can work hard to serve your country."
Chen Haonan was somewhat dazed, blinking incredulously. Then why was he running away?
He even caused the death of the big, simple-minded Ah Bei. Chen Haonan had been in the underworld for many years and was prone to developing brotherhood with those around him. Moreover, Ah Bei was a good person. Chen Haonan never expected that his selfishness would lead to Ah Bei's death.
Now they're saying humans and zombies have reconciled? Chan Ho-nam thinks this world is truly absurd.
It's as if everything is against him, as if every choice he made was ultimately wrong. Choosing to go out into the underworld led to the deaths of his wife, children, and brothers. He failed to fulfill his filial duties when his father was sick and even dragged his sister down with him for so many years.
Choosing to run away, he ended up killing Ah Bei, who had always been a good friend to him and helped him in many ways. Chen Haonan felt bitter and never expected things to turn out this way.
After giving their explanations, Bai Lingling and Bai Miaomiao disappeared from the room.
Chen Haonan's limbs are slowly recovering; at this rate, it will probably take several hours to fully recover.
Chen Yue slowly woke up after Bai Lingling and the other person left. Thinking it was a dream, she saw herself and her older brother covered in blood, and the house was also covered in blood. She almost fainted again from fright.
Chen Haonan lay on the ground, his limbs just beginning to grow back. He quickly comforted him, saying, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, don't be afraid."
After a while, Chen Yue hugged Chen Haonan in her arms. Chen Haonan had medium-length hair, which was now messy and unkempt, like a slovenly person who hadn't bathed for days.
"Brother, are you alright?" Chen Yue asked, tears streaming down her face. She was truly terrified to see her older brother like this.
Chan Ho-nam shook his head.
"It's alright. Actually, I'm already dead. After I died, I became a monster called a ghoul. It lives by eating human flesh and blood and can heal its own injuries. This injury will be fine in a while."
Chen Haonan forced a smile, suppressing his bloodlust. The healing of his wounds made him even hungrier, and the image of his sister holding him seemed to transform into a delicious lamb amidst his inner struggle.
Chen Yue was surprised by Chen Haonan's change. She gently stroked Chen Haonan's face and cried uncontrollably.
Chan Ho-nam calmed himself down, wanting to pat his sister's head, but realized his hands hadn't grown out yet.
"I'm sorry for making the house dirty."
"It's okay, the most important thing is that you're alright."
After Chen Haonan's limbs had fully grown back, Chen Yue had tidied up the house and brought out a new set of pajamas.
"Brother, I'm going to the shower room to take another shower."
The small room, which is only a dozen square meters, feels cramped even with a small bed, a table, and a few plastic chairs. People usually go to the toilet and shower outside, sharing with their neighbors.
Chen Haonan lived this kind of life for more than ten years, while Chen Yue still lives like this.
Chan Ho-nam was helped to sit down on a plastic chair by his sister. He touched the slightly whitish chair; it was quite old.
The old boxy TV has been replaced with a small LCD TV.
The middle-aged man looked around. The house was still the same house, but he was no longer young and carried too many sins, making Chen Haonan feel that he didn't belong here.
Home always gives people a sense of peace, but Chen Haonan believes that someone like him can't settle down.
Even after getting married and having children, Chan Ho-nam continued his violent ways. If his wife hadn't begged him to quit, Chan Ho-nam might have continued down this path, only to be hacked to death on the street one day, or have a bomb planted under his car and blown up.
In the end, it's the wife and children who get hurt.
Chan Ho-nam chose to withdraw, but having been immersed in darkness for so many years, how could the darkness easily let him go?
Having made too many enemies, he drove his brothers to their deaths and himself to his own. If given the chance, Chan Ho-nam would still walk down this path.
In the memory of young Chan Ho-nam, his father was a laborer on a construction site. His wages were low and his work was tiring. It was difficult for him and his sister to support themselves. His mother ran away after giving birth to his sister. His father worked tirelessly for the sake of his two children.
His father was an honest man, and honest people are easily bullied everywhere. Chen Haonan didn't want to be bullied, so he resolutely followed his brothers onto this wrong but right path.
Those who had bullied their father all became obedient and timid in front of him after hearing Chen Haonan's fearsome reputation.
Most people who enter society initially do so because they don't want to be bullied and crave fame and fortune. However, they often find themselves caught in a darker path and sink deeper into crime.
