'Wait, wait a minute … '
Qing Jiuliu blinked his eyes slowly and stared at the pile of bones at the door.
He was in a hurry when he came in, so he didn't have the time to take a closer look. But now that he had a closer look, he immediately noticed something strange about the pile of bones.
"Ji Shanqing, can you move a little?" He lowered his voice and pressed his furry mouth against the back of the sofa. He asked softly, "Look at the corpse at the door."
As if pushed by an invisible hand, the blue floral sofa moved forward a little. After straightening it, it tilted its body, and finally, a part of the sofa was facing the door.
"You suspect that the corpse isn't dead yet?" Ji Shanqing asked casually. "Impossible. It's already rotten to —"
He stopped abruptly when he was about to finish his sentence.
Indeed, it was impossible for a corpse to still be alive. However, both of them felt that something was amiss. The corpse seemed to have decomposed in a very unusual way.
Due to the dry climate in this area, the skin and flesh of the corpse had already dried into something that looked like black cotton wadding. It hung on the yellowed bones together with the torn cloth. It looked as if they could be blown off with a single breath.
The wrinkled black skin and flesh looked like pieces of dried fungus. Only the skin on the skull had been ripped off smoothly. The broken skin was still fresh, and the cheekbone was much fairer than the other bones.
"There's someone else on the third floor!"
Ji Shanqing shouted in a low voice. The entire sofa slid backward, "It's not just that black-haired woman. Someone just tore the skin off the corpse's face!"
His sudden movement caused the red panda, who was standing on his hind legs, to lose his balance. He fell on the sofa with a loud thud. Ji Shanqing didn't ask him how he was feeling. He continued talking quickly, "How could it be … Could it be that old woman? Why would she do such a thing? "
The red panda let out a sigh from the sofa.
"You … Look up," Qing Jiuliu suddenly said with a bitter smile.
The blue floral sofa paused for a moment. Then, his legs suddenly tilted as if they were lifted into the air. By doing so, he could finally see the ceiling above him.
If it wasn't for the fact that the face was still human, he would have thought that there was a giant bat stuck to the ceiling.
His entire body was covered in black clothes, and his limbs were stretched out to the four corners of the ceiling. His body was steady and motionless. He lowered his yellowish face and looked at the two people below him with an expressionless face. His cheeks were bulging as if he was chewing something.
After two seconds, he swallowed and suddenly spat out a piece of scalp with a bunch of hair on it.
Ji Shanqing shuddered in disgust when he saw the scalp stained with saliva and hair fall beside his feet. At the same time, Qing Jiuliu, who had already leaped up from the sofa, answered the grand prize's question. "I know this face. He's one of the people sleeping in that room. It seems like they woke up when Magus's power disappeared!"
"So you've seen me before," the yellow face said unnaturally as it swayed a few times in the black cloth that covered the ceiling like some kind of insect. It sounded like it was the first time he had spoken in a long time, "It seems like you're related to that woman."
'That woman 'must be referring to Magus.' Just as the thought flashed across their minds, they suddenly felt a shadow above their heads. The shadow on the ceiling was rushing towards them.
"Get out of here!"
Ji Shanqing screamed. At the same time, the reddish-brown panda had already leaped over the armrest of the sofa. As soon as his four paws landed on the ground, he quickly turned around and saw the shadow that looked like a giant bat had just engulfed the blue cloth sofa.
"I've never seen a talking animal or furniture before," the man stood up from the sofa. His slender limbs and spindle-like torso protruded from under the black cloth. He turned to stare at the red panda and curled his brown lips, "I've eaten both duoluozhong and posthumans, but I've never eaten an animal like you."
'He's a predator! '
Qing Jiuliu's hair stood on end. His hind legs tensed up, ready to react at any moment.
The man chuckled and twisted his body, ready to pounce on Qing Jiuliu again. However, just as Qing Jiuliu was about to leap forward, the man's expression froze. He struggled with all his might and lowered his head.
Even though Ji Shanqing was standing on the sofa, the sofa cushion seemed to have sunk too deep into the cushion. No, it should be said that the man's feet were sunk deep into the cushion. He tried to pull his legs out, but he was unable to do so. Half of his calf was firmly held by Ji Shanqing.
"Why aren't you calling my sister?!"
Ji Shanqing's voice sounded strained as if he was out of breath. Qing Jiuliu didn't dare to waste a single second. He turned around and dashed towards the balcony.
Even without turning around, Qing Jiuliu could hear the man struggling behind him and the rustling of cloth. He knew that the man was trying to break free and grab him. Ji Shanqing was weak in both combat and physical strength. It was only a matter of time before he broke free. However, at this critical moment, the red panda stopped at the railing of the balcony.
There was no other reason. With Qing Jiuliu's current physique, he wouldn't be able to reach the other floors.
Thud! One of the man's feet landed on the floor. Ji Shanqing didn't know what he did, but he groaned in pain. He was still hugging his other foot tightly. However, a smug smile gradually appeared on his shriveled face.
A strand of hair from a dead man was stuck between his teeth.
The reddish-brown red panda quickly turned his head over the railing and took a deep breath.
As Ji Shanqing gasped again, the man's feet landed on the floor. Then, he strode towards Qing Jiuliu. The man was about ten meters away from Qing Jiuliu and Ji Shanqing, and he was about to cover the distance between them in a few steps.
"Lin Sanjiu!"
Qing Jiuliu yelled at the top of his lungs, "Come back and save me! Your grand prize is going to die!" His voice was so loud that it hurt Qing Jiuliu's ears.
The volume of his voice was so loud that it hurt his ears. His voice echoed between the floors. The bat-like man was stunned for a moment. Then, his face darkened. He kicked the ground and pounced on the balcony.
When the Jaeger showed his true strength, Qing Jiuliu didn't even have the time to say a second word before the Jaeger grabbed him by the throat. The latter half of his words were stuck in his throat along with the air.
The Jaeger's claws left a few red marks on the Jaeger's skin. However, the Jaeger didn't seem to notice it.
"I'll eat you first," the Jaeger laughed as he panted. His stinky breath blew on Qing Jiuliu's face. "I'll eat him later when the people you called are here. I'm hungry after sleeping for so long … "
Before he could finish his sentence, a huge shadow suddenly flipped down from the sky and landed a heavy kick on his body. Instantly, the predator flew backward like a real bat and landed on the ground with a thud. The red panda was also flung away by the force of the kick and broke free from his grasp.
The old hen flapped her wings and rushed to the balcony. She swung her head and threw a black-haired woman on the floor.
Under the Jaeger's stunned gaze, Lin Sanjiu stepped on the delirious woman with her claws. A cold glint flashed in her black eyes.
"Are you the one who wants to kill my friend?"
