Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Hope and Despair Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Hope and Despair “You guys better not think you can pull off so mystical tricks, I… I won’t be scared of you,” Huang Mao mustered his courage to speak, “I don’t care if you are human or ghosts, nobody is leaving here today.”
After saying that, he hesitated no longer and pulled the trigger again, firing several shots in quick succession.
Gunshots rang out continuously.
But just like before, the bullets that flew out could do no harm to Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao.
Witnessing his now empty handgun, Huang Mao’s facial complexion visibly changed at a visible pace. The brash confidence he had was now replaced by panic.
He took a step backward and, before anyone could react, turned around and fled the scene.
These were just a loosely organized gang, and now that their boss had run away, the remaining mbers had no spine left in them and started to scatter in all directions.
Watching Huang Mao and his n run towards the alley’s exit, Zhong Niangyao’s mouth curled into a aningful smile, as if she was muttering to herself, yet seed to be speaking to soone beside her, “Thinking of leaving? Too late.”
Lu Yichen, standing by her side, still had a cold expression, with a flicker of cold light in his eyes. Looking in the direction of the alley’s exit, he radiated an intimidating aura.
Huang Mao and his group were running towards the alley’s exit at the fastest pace of their lives. Even though they couldn’t figure out who this man and woman were, anyone who wasn’t afraid of bullets couldn’t be ordinary.
Though they were accustod to committing robbery and murder, they were definitely not as formidable as their opponents. To stay would likely an risking their lives.
Although they had killed people, they still valued their own lives highly.
At this mont, they even vaguely regretted why they had chosen to confront these two.
With the end of the alley in sight, Huang Mao and the others couldn’t help but see a glimr of hope. If only they could leave the alley behind, they would be on the main road, crowded with passersby. Once outside, they would be safe.
The more they thought this way, the faster they ran, pulling out all the stops, sprinting with all their might.
Hope and despair are often re monts apart.
The mont they reached the alley’s exit, to their dismay, Huang Mao and the others found themselves back inside the alley.
Upon seeing Huang Mao and his n reappear, Zhong Niangyao still had a smile on her lips, raising her hand to wave at them warmly, “Hi!”
That beautiful face, in the eyes of Huang Mao and his n, seed a hundred tis more terrifying than the fiercest ghost.
They scread and turned to run again.
This went on repeat, over and over again. Each ti they thought they had escaped, they found themselves back inside the alley.
Zhong Niangyao, as if watching a play, took keen interest in Huang Mao and his n running back and forth. She then looked at Lu Yichen beside her and said with a smile, “What do you think, they’ve run so many tis, aren’t they tired yet?”
Even as a spectator, she felt exhausted. Those guys really had tireless energy!
“Under the threat of death, people can unleash endless potential,” Lu Yichen said coldly, “Unless they can no longer run, they won’t stop.”
“Then let’s watch!” Zhong Niangyao said with a smile, “I really want to see just how far their potential can go.”
Eventually, Huang Mao and his crew completely ran out of energy and collapsed on the ground. Looking at Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, their eyes were filled with fear.
“Scared, are you?” Zhong Niangyao asked with a radiant smile, “Tell , those who you robbed and killed, did they feel the sa way when facing you?”
Huang Mao imdiately climbed up from the ground, knelt before Zhong Niangyao, and began to kowtow profusely, begging for rcy, “Please, let go! If you’re willing to spare , I’ll give you all my possessions, just spare my life.”
“But what to do?” Zhong Niangyao pouted, tilting her head as if troubled, “I have no interest in your possessions. Plus, you know how much blood is on that money. I find it disgusting!”
“Big sis, my lady, please, be generous and just let pass as if I were nothing,” Huang Mao was crying snot and tears, “I promise, I will never do bad things again, otherwise let lightning strike dead. Just spare this once, and once I return, I’ll donate all my possessions and do more good deeds to make up for my past wrongs.”
“Right, right, my lady! When we get back, we’ll wash our hands of this life of cri, no more stealing and thievery.”
“Please, a great person doesn’t dwell on the small matters, let us go just this once!”
The others also knelt down and started to beg for rcy.
Zhong Niangyao’s face remained unmoved as she looked at Huang Mao, the gang’s leader. Her smile now carried a chilling coldness, “Why are you begging now? Weren’t you all planning on making things difficult for just a mont ago?”
“It’s all my fault, I am so despicable.”
As he spoke, Huang Mao began hitting his own face with slaps, back and forth, not daring to stop for a mont.
Others started frantically slapping their own faces as well.
Zhong Niangyao watched their actions without issuing any order to stop.
Seeing how Zhong Niangyao didn’t intervene, they naturally didn’t dare cease.
Only when both sides of their faces were as swollen as a pig’s head and blood began to seep from the corners of their mouths, and their hands had grown numb, did they hear Zhong Niangyao speak again.
However, her words plunged them yet again into an icy abyss.
“Do you know what happened to the last person who spoke to using such filthy language?” Zhong Niangyao spoke slowly, her smile suddenly turning malevolent, “They were all gnawed on by the Hundred Demons, not even their souls were left behind. In other words, they completely disappeared from this world.”
Huang Mao and his group felt an icy chill rise from the soles of their feet, making them shiver uncontrollably. When they looked at Zhong Niangyao again, their eyes were devoid of their initial amazent, replaced by profound fear.
Even though they didn’t understand what being gnawed on by the Hundred Demons ant, to not even leave a soul behind was a fate a thousand tis, no, a hundred tis more terrifying than death.
