Chapter 52

Child,

woman,

The part disappeared.

Jiang Fan collapsed to the ground, feeling a burning pain in his chest. Blood suddenly spurted from the corner of his mouth, splattering onto the courtyard ground and making the already messy courtyard even more eerie and terrifying. After wiping the blood from his lips, Jiang Fan clutched his chest, leaned against the black wall, and stood up. He circulated his spiritual power, and his body trembled as he rode the wind, but he fell to the ground as soon as he cleared the wall.

Blood kept seeping from his lips as he struggled to his feet and swayed unsteadily forward.

This place,

We absolutely cannot stay here.

Go first.

Wherever you go

We cannot continue here; it is merely an illusion, such a powerful force of resentment!

Chapter Thirty-Two: Escape

The last trace of the setting sun on the horizon finally dissipated, and the boundless darkness, like a huge curtain, quietly opened, covering the mountains and rivers, the plains and buildings. Only the stars hanging in the sky were still twinkling and scattering their light. On the ground, sparks of light, like fireflies, lit up, becoming more and more numerous and denser. The vitality that had never disappeared seemed to have just returned to this world.

On the clean road lined with residential buildings on both sides, there are several winding alleys. Some of these alleys lead to another street, while others have become dead ends due to various civil issues that have blocked one of their exits. Dead ends are of course not worth walking through, so the streetlights that were originally used for illumination in these impassable alleys have all been turned off.

In the alley,

Dark and secluded,

Two or three trash cans were placed inside, and in addition to the stench of the garbage itself, there were all sorts of strange smells mixed together, making one want to vomit.

On the road at the alley entrance, a stray dog with dull fur and covered in mud limped into the alley. It was a young puppy, and its eyes, which were filled with mucus from its tear ducts, cautiously observed its surroundings. Its fur was originally white, but it had become dirty and dull due to its long years of wandering. Its limping hind legs seemed to silently tell of the hardships this little dog had gone through.

It slowly walked to a pile of garbage.

Lower your head,

They were rummaging through the abandoned food.

However, when the little dog climbed over two trash cans and reached the third and last trash can, it suddenly stopped and struggled to run out of the alley with its injured hind leg. It squatted at the entrance of the alley and cautiously peered inside. In its small and humble eyes, it saw a figure emitting a faint blue light, leaning against the wall behind the trash can.

Under the moonlight

The puppy squatted there, then later lay down.

Perhaps it was sleepy, it opened its mouth and yawned, licking its lips. Past experience told it that it should keep a certain distance from humans, but it stared at a cardboard box next to the human figure and was reluctant to leave for a long time.

Leave here,

Where should it go to find another place to live?

finally,

It didn't know how much time had passed, until the moon moved to the center of the sky, until the lights in the houses gradually went out, before it slowly took a step and tried to move towards the figure that didn't seem to pose much of a danger to it. As it got closer and closer, the wariness in its eyes grew stronger, until it climbed into the cardboard box, but the figure didn't make a move.

It swayed its tail slightly, and somehow, it felt that the closer it got to the figure, the warmer the surrounding air became.

This feeling

It's very comfortable.

It squinted its eyes, its tail swayed slowly, and finally its wariness subsided. It lay down in its little nest and slowly swayed its tail.

"Cough cough..."

However,

Just as it was about to fall asleep, the figure sitting against the wall suddenly made a sound. A picture of several people chasing it with bricks flashed through its mind. Did it want to experience it again?

no way!

Ignoring the pain, it was about to run out of the alley, but when it inadvertently turned around and saw the person, its movements suddenly stopped.

I don't know when,

The azure light emanating from the figure had dimmed considerably, and it continued to dim. Blood kept seeping from the corner of the person's mouth, and their breathing became very weak. The animal's innate instincts told it that the person before it was in a much worse situation than itself.

A struggle flashed in its eyes.

final,

It barked softly twice, as if venting something, then limped back into the cardboard box. When it came out again, it had a piece of cake with cream still in its mouth. It went back in, and when it came out again, it had a cookie full of bite marks in its mouth.

It was placed in front of the person.

Looking at this person,

only,

Why hasn't this person opened their eyes yet?

It slowly, cautiously approached the figure, pressed its body against it, and an indescribable chill swept into its heart. It looked up at the bloodstains at the corner of the person's mouth, then clumsily stuck out its little bottom, climbed onto the person's leg, and lay down.

It is using its own body heat,
