As Julian was running, he found the ti to mock himself: did his past prey feel the sa blazing fear when they were fleeing?
"Damn it." With a fierce swipe at the low shrubs in front of him, Julian’s forward steps suddenly paused, then he slowly retreated.
"...Are you...David?"
The clear lake water splashed, and David, imrsed fully in the water, looked at Julian with a bright smile, occasionally flicking his fish tail.
"Julian, co down and play." David rested his chin on the shore, blinking his innocent, big eyes like Kazilan’s.
Julian’s wary gaze circled David’s face a few tis, then he forced a dry laugh, "What are you doing here..."
David: "Did you think I was dead? No, according to our rfolk traditions, before dying, we swallow our loved one so our flesh and blood may rge...You promised before..."
Julian wasn’t too concerned about one David, but things were becoming increasingly eerie, so he dared not act rashly.
Just like the sudden appearance of the black bugs, Julian was knocked about a bit. He was clearly on the verge of collapsing, but within a brief mont, he reappeared by the lake, looking completely normal. Everything seed suspicious.
Silver Blue rfolk are genderless, he knew this, which was why he always favored these beings.
The graceful and delicate male form was his favorite.
Watching Julian retreat, David flicked the water displeasedly, splashing waves one or two ters high at him, drenching him thoroughly.
Already harboring a smoldering fire inside, Julian was offended by the lowly being he had never taken seriously, anger flared, halting his retreat, and he raised his laser knife toward David: "Seeking death..."
Julian’s raised arm halted in midair, like it had been frozen, maintaining this pose for a long ti without moving.
David splashed more water joyfully at Julian, laughing with a bell-like giggle, "Why aren’t you continuing?"
At this mont, Julian could focus on nothing else; his eyes were crossed, locked in a staring contest with the beetle that had suddenly appeared on his elbow.
The black little bug raised half its body, continuously twitching its two antennae, and Julian felt he sensed disdain from this small creature.
That damn disdain...
After the long standoff, Julian could not hold back any longer. He tentatively reached out a finger to press down on the annoying bug.
The bug, which had been playing dead, suddenly twitched sharply and scurried away from Julian’s finger, disappearing without trace just as suddenly as it appeared.
Julian let out half a sigh of relief, the other half caught in his throat, his taut nerves tensing up again.
Feeling sothing strange underfoot, he couldn’t help but slowly shift his gaze downward toward his toes.
To the horror of those with trypophobia, a layer of black bugs had sohow gathered around his boots, as if encasing them with a black edge.
As if seeing through Julian’s fear, David turned over in the lake and then supported himself with his arms, leaping onto the dirt mound on the shore, displaying a beautiful, enchanting fish tail.
David: "Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, these are just the Witch Mother’s little pets...as long as you have purity and kindness, they won’t harm you..."
Julian wasn’t the least bit comforted, raising a grim face to ask, "Who is the Witch Mother?"
"Here..." Su Li answered, parting the glossy green leaves, revealing a charming face, stretching lazily before stepping down.
As her foot was about to step into the void, a black staircase ford in front of her within a second.
Looking closely, it was entirely composed of densely packed, wing-flapping little black bugs.
Su Li stepped down the bug staircase in a winding manner, and when her foot touched the ground again, the black staircase quickly disappeared, morphing into a black throne.
Su Li sat on the throne like a judger, wrinkling her small nose, speaking casually, "I slled the unwillingness and resentnt of the resentful spirits on you...."
After Su Li appeared, David bowed his head respectfully, his eyes suddenly flushed red, revealing sharp fangs, "I must eat you to quell the resentnt of the rfolk...."
Su Li casually waved her hand, saying, "Go ahead...."
The bug army under the throne divided, a black flow of insects entwined Julian’s body, binding him tight as if tied up with ropes, rendering him helpless, forced to watch in terror as he was presented to David.
David smiled, baring steel-like sharp teeth, gently thanking Su Li, "Thank you, Witch Mother...."
Then, ecstatically, he bit into Julian.
Enduring sharp pain, Julian tried to reason with David, "Da-David....Don’t do this, I, I can explain...."
David rcilessly tore off a chunk of flesh, chewing a few tis before swallowing it.
The small brains and low intelligence of the rfolk that Julian had once scorned now served an enormous purpose.
David couldn’t hear a bit of Julian’s tender affection, now having only one thought....
Eat him, eat him....
Chewing the blood and flesh filled with his people’s grievance, it tasted remarkably sweet.

Generally, people who play together think on the sa wavelength.
When Lilith first started running, she also chose to open her Light Computer, just like Julian, to locate the positions of others in real ti.
When Yuni’s life hotspot disappeared, Lilith felt a pang of fear gripping her heart, and soon after, with the life hotspot that belonged to Julian extinguishing instantly, Lilith couldn’t maintain her composure, her entire mind was on the verge of collapse.
The deaths of each companion in succession created imnse psychological pressure on her.
This was just the beginning....After Julian, ca Luna, Shi An, even Kennedy and Bo Rui who might have already escaped the planet weren’t spared.
Lilith’s tears and mucus flowed uncontrollably.
Now she was in a sorry state, hair disheveled, her expensive and beautiful dress soiled with mud and black stains, the satin surface scratched with nurous damage marks.
But she had no ti to care about these things now, crazily tapping on the Light Computer in her hand, neurotically murmuring, "Hurry up, hurry up and connect...."
For the sake of fun and to avoid being discovered by others, when they approached this planet, they had severed contact with the Empire.
Right now, Lilith wished she could slap herself hard, for being so clever....
Luckily, there was still a signal for contact.
"Hello, this is the Empire’s Security Departnt...."
