1563 No Shadow
“Have you calmed down? Xiao Shan, go get a basin of cold water and pour it on his face. Let’s see if he’ll calm down then. How dare he make a ruckus here and disturb the peace?” Feng Yuanlin was furious. Without waiting for the young man to continue speaking, Feng Yuanlin continued, “Even if you jump and die, will your sister come back to life? Some people die when they still want to live. You, on the other hand, don’t care about your life at such a young age. If you die, what will happen to your parents? Did they give birth to you for nothing?”
As Feng Yuanlin lectured the man, he somehow poked at his weakness. He immediately stopped struggling and wailed miserably. The more he cried, the louder his voice became. At the same time, there was some fear and despair in his voice as he retorted loudly, “I want to live, I want to live. Who doesn’t want to live? Like you said, some people can’t live even though they want to – it’s the same for me. Why should I, my sister, and everyone around me die?”
When the young man shouted this, the room immediately fell silent and cold.
Chi Shuyan suddenly realized that as the young man spoke, his shadow disappeared. She didn’t say anything, but got Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan to let go of the young man. She then pulled him up, and saw that there was no sign of his shadow at all on the floor.
She refused to believe it and continued to stare at the floor. She realized that everyone in the room had a shadow except for the young man she was holding.
Under the light, Chi Shuyan’s heart inexplicably turned cold. She stared intently at the other party. Dozens of seconds later, she saw a hazy mist that was so black she couldn’t make out anything; she had clearly been able to foresee the girl’s tragic death last time.
For a moment, Chi Shuyan wondered if her ability had failed. She was about to look away and try again, when the black mist suddenly disappeared. Then, she clearly saw the young man lying on the bed in a room behind the black mist with his eyes closed.
Chi Shuyan relaxed and continued watching. In the next second, she saw something crawl out from under his bed and peel off the young man’s face bit by bit.
The young man on the bed looked like he wanted to struggle, but a dozen sharp and thick nails suddenly appeared out of thin air and nailed him to the bed. Blood immediately spread all over the bed.
In the end, his face was peeled off, revealing mangled flesh. His body was still twitching, with the thick, sharp nails still piercing his flesh. This young man died a tragic, painful death on the bed. Before he died, his expression was twisted and hideous.
As for the thing peeling off his face, it was covered in black mist the entire time. Chi Shuyan could vaguely see a few long, sharp nails with red nail polish on them. Chi Shuyan’s face changed drastically and she was too agitated; who knew when she threw the young man onto the bed.
It wasn’t until there was a miserable yell and Brother Feng’s voice rang out that Chi Shuyan came back to her senses. Only then did she realize that she had thrown the young man she had been holding onto the bed. Next to her, Brother Feng, Yang Kun, Yan Zhengming, Wu Haoming, and Xiao Shan were stupefied.
Fine!
They did know what Chi Shuyan was capable of and how strong she was.
The young man, on the other hand, was still in shock as he stared fixedly at Chi Shuyan. He couldn’t believe that a girl could effortlessly pick up a big man like him and throw him onto the bed. His voice trembled as he forced out a few words. “You… you… you…”
It was probably because she had seen the tragic death of the young man in front of her just now, but Chi Shuyan had mixed feelings and sympathy for him. She then thought of how the other party was most likely the person who had left a few messages asking for help in her Taobao shop. Chi Shuyan suddenly asked, “Was the girl who was skinned alive before she died your little sister?”
Obviously, the young man on the bed didn’t want to talk about this at all. His face changed drastically and was very unsightly.
Chi Shuyan didn’t pay him any mind as she continued, “You bought a lot of talismans from my shop before and left a lot of messages, a few of which were asking for help. Since that is the case, it can be considered fate that we’re meeting each other. Can you tell me what happened? Maybe I can help a little?”
To prove that she wasn’t lying, she even specially mentioned his online ID.
Sure enough!
As soon as she finished speaking, the other party’s face changed drastically. He was excited, happy, terrified and desperate. All sorts of complicated emotions were jumbled up together. The young man had a thought and started wailing again. He immediately tugged at the corner of Chi Shuyan’s clothes as if he was holding onto a final life line and asked agitatedly, “Are you really that shop owner? Are you really? Can you save us? Can you see what we encountered? Can you see what we encountered?”
Yang Kun and Yan Zhengming had never seen a big man look so unseemly as he cried. Of course, Yang Kun automatically ignored his own dark history. He didn’t know what terrifying thing this young man had encountered. Otherwise, why would he lose his composure like this?
Feng Yuanlin, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan were also curious about what this young man had encountered, but they didn’t immediately cut in. Instead, they listened to Shuyan’s question. “What on earth is going on? How did you provoke something you shouldn’t have?”
“I didn’t, we didn’t!” The young man didn’t let go of the corner of Chi Shuyan’s clothes and continued to cry. He was about to speak, when the ward door was suddenly pushed open. Chi Shuyan looked over and saw an ordinary-looking yet elegant woman rush over and say loudly, “Yang Ji, you can’t say anything! You’re not allowed to say anything! If you say anything, it won’t end well. Don’t you remember how the others died? Only Sister Yuan can save us. Yes, only Sister Yuan!”
