Gu Yiyi was also filled with anxiety. Hearing Zuo Si’s call, she glanced hesitantly at the pregnant woman in red before quickly returning to Zuo Si’s side.
“Everyone, defend with all your might! Escape first, no matter what!” Zuo Si stared at the retreating three ghosts, asking Gu Yiyi without turning his head, “Yiyi, what did you say to that pregnant woman in red?”
“I…I wanted that woman in red to help us.” Gu Yiyi looked like she was about to cry; if she had tears, she probably would have already.
“Foolish! She has no connection with us. It’s a miracle she hasn’t harmed us yet, how could she possibly save us!”
“I…I…” Gu Yiyi looked aggrieved, but then she saw something, her eyes widened, and she spread her arms to shield Zuo Si.
A cold wind howled, and a phantom hand formed from yin energy struck Gu Yiyi.
“Hahaha! None of you are leaving here today!”
Liu Zhendong’s full-force attack shook Gu Yiyi’s soul, nearly annihilating her.
“Yiyi!”
Zuo Si’s eyes widened. He rushed to Gu Yiyi, trying to pull her away.
But he grasped at empty air.
Gu Yiyi was now almost ethereal; one more blow would obliterate her.
“Big brother, it’s Yiyi’s fault…”
Gu Yiyi’s expression was pained, her voice barely audible.
“It’s my fault! It’s my fault! Yiyi, hold on! We’ll get out of here!”
Zuo Si’s teeth were grinding together; he felt like swallowing Liu Zhendong whole.
But saving Gu Yiyi was the priority. Luckily, the haunted house had provided over nine hundred units of fear replenishment.
Zuo Si used them all to heal Gu Yiyi’s soul.
Gu Yiyi’s soul gradually solidified.
“I promised to protect Gu Yiyi for life, and now I’m the one making her protect me! I’m such a damn useless piece of trash!”
Zuo Si looked again at the four ghosts locked in fierce combat.
Ye Yingjie and Ge Hong were on the verge of collapse, their souls about to dissipate, and Meng Miaoxue wasn’t in much better shape.
If he didn’t fight now, everyone would die here!
“D@mn it! I’ll $kin you alive!”
He grabbed a scalpel and charged at Liu Zhendong again, his heart filled with nothing but rage.
“Hehehe…” Liu Zhendong let out a terrifying laugh, his eyes turning completely black.
A surge of frenzied Yin energy erupted, directly blasting away the already weakened three ghosts.
His five fingers formed claws, aiming straight for Zuo Si’s heart!
But just then…
The surrounding temperature suddenly plummeted.
A terrifying pressure swept across the entire area, making it difficult to breathe; Zuo Si felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Frost condensed on the surrounding weeds. “Could Liu Zhendong’s power have reached this level?”
Zuo Si was terrified, but quickly dismissed the thought.
Because that terrifying pressure… came from behind him!!
Moreover, Liu Zhendong was also affected by this power; though still ferocious and ruthless, he clearly dared not attack rashly!
Zuo Si slowly turned his head and found the pregnant woman in red floating behind him, toes pointing downwards.
She lowered her head, her hair obscuring her pale face, and intense resentment radiated outwards from her.
“Hkreee…Hkreee…Hkreee…Hkreee…”
She emitted a series of piercing, eerie sounds from her throat, and her hair was growing rapidly.
Bang!
Zuo Si was swept away by a surge of yin energy, flying back several meters.
The pregnant woman in red raised her head, glaring venomously at Liu Zhendong, and let out a shrill scream.
“Ahhhh~~!” The syllables echoed, painfully loud.
“Don’t think I’m really afraid of you!!!”
The more fiercely Liu Zhendong fought, the more he was now nearly insane. The black veins throbbing on his face had spread all the way to his neck!
“Kill!!!”
He roared, his entire body surging with Yin energy. His ferocious face revealed long fangs.
His mouth stretched all the way to his ears, as if he wanted to bite off the head of the pregnant woman in red!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Countless strands of hair pierced through the pregnant woman’s back, burrowing into every corner of Liu Zhendong’s body.
Liu Zhendong was pinned to the spot, unable to move. Only now could a hint of fear be seen in his eyes.
But it was quickly swallowed by the blackness in his eyes, and he returned to madness.
“Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!”
He struggled violently, but no matter what he did, he couldn’t break free from the black strands of hair.
Trrrr…trrrr…trrrrrrr…
Liu Zhendong’s soul emitted a series of soft tearing sounds. Numerous tiny cracks appeared, trembling constantly.
These strands of hair seemed poised to rip him apart at any moment.
“Ah!!!”
Liu Zhendong roared and struggled in agony, his claws flailing wildly, trying to cut off the black hair.
But each strand of black hair was like a steel wire, embedded in his body, impossible to break free from.
“Ha~!!!”
The pregnant woman in red suddenly looked up, a chill emanating from her mouth. Her pale face twitched violently, and the Yin energy surrounding her grew increasingly violent.
She suddenly exerted all her strength.
Trrrr…trrrr…trrrrrrr…
Liu Zhendong’s once intact soul was instantly torn into countless fragments, all turning into grayish-black Yin energy, gradually disappearing.
“This, this pregnant woman in red is actually so strong…?!?!”
Zuo Si swallowed hard, calling back Ge Hong and Meng Miaoxue, fearing that the pregnant woman in red might go berserk and wipe out their side as well.
While everyone’s gaze was fixed on the pregnant woman in red, no one noticed that within Liu Zhendong’s gradually disappearing soul, a hair-thin black line was rapidly approaching Ye Yingjie.
This black line was only five centimeters long, yet it exuded an unimaginable evil aura. Its blackness wasn’t like a color, but rather a synonym for darkness, threatening to devour all light in the world.
“…”
The pregnant woman in red’s cold eyes stared directly at Gu Yiyi.
“Thank you, thank you, sister!”
Gu Yiyi quickly stood up and bowed. This girl was so sensible; being with her for a long time always felt healing.
The pregnant woman in red didn’t speak, but a slight flicker of emotion flashed in her cold eyes.
“If you don’t have a place to stay, you can go to Big Brother’s haunted house. There are some other friends there, and they’re all very nice,” Gu Yiyi said. “Besides, Big Brother is very kind and would never bully anyone.”
Zuo Si stared blankly at Gu Yiyi. This girl was simply outrageous, inviting this terrifying figure to the haunted house.
“If I invite her back to the haunted house, it won’t be me bullying her! She’ll be the one bullying me, okay!”
“Being with such a scary pregnant woman in red every day, wouldn’t I be scared to death?”
“I’m telling you, Yiyi, I know you’re kind-hearted, but you should at least consider my feelings a little, right?”
Zuo Si’s expression kept changing. He only dared to think these words in his heart.
If he said them aloud, he was afraid this pregnant woman in red would strangle him on the spot.
