At the same time, a chilly gust of wind swept by.
It was as if an invisible hand brushed over Lucas's neck, making him shrink his neck and feel a sudden chill in his heart.
After taking a few more steps, Lucas suddenly felt something was off.
He stopped in his tracks and looked around.
The bustling night market he was just at had vanished into thin air, and there wasn't a single soul in sight.
"That's weird...where'd the night market go? I was just gonna grab some stinky tofu," Lucas muttered to himself, looking around in a daze.
The flickering streetlights and quiet streets made him feel like he was walking on a ghostly road.
He shook his head and continued towards his place, not giving it much thought.
But just as he was passing through the street, a woman appeared in his line of sight.
Under the dim light of the street lamp, Lucas could see the woman's slender figure, dressed in light clothing, her fair skin glowing, and her young and beautiful face.
At the moment when Lucas looked at the woman, she also raised her head and looked at him.
Then, the woman ran her fingers through her hair and purred, "Hey there, good-looking, are you single?"
Her tone was lazy, with a hint of temptation.
Lucas was taken aback, glancing up at the neon sign above their heads that read "Potato! Let's get crazy in the bar!" and chuckled.
"Missy, don't play games. With your looks, why would you even look at me," Lucas said, quickening his pace.
From the woman's clothes, makeup, and demeanor, Lucas could tell she wasn't the respectable type.
He didn't want to have too much contact with this kind of girl.
But the more Lucas tried to leave, the more interested the woman became.
The next thing he knew, Lucas's vision blurred, and the woman was standing in front of him, blocking his way.
She breathed out a breath like a lily, blowing out a wisp of black gas that was invisible to the naked eye.
It blew into Lucas's nose, and his body stiffened.
His once clear mind became foggy, his divine eyes dimmed, and his whole body felt dizzy.
Seeing Lucas's appearance as if he had lost his soul, the woman let out a delighted laugh.
Slowly stepping forward, she bent down, sniffing at Lucas's handsome face with a gaze of infatuation.
"Ah~~~ Sure enough, only this kind of young and robust body is the most delicious."
Saying this, the woman's gaze greedily scanned Lucas's body.
Whispering in Lucas's ear, "Do you think I'm beautiful?"
With a dazed gaze, Lucas couldn't help but nod, swallowing his saliva.
"Very beautiful!"
Hearing Lucas's answer, the woman's expression was very satisfied.
One hand was placed on Lucas's face, and the other hand quietly turned into claws dripping with fresh blood.
"Since you think I'm beautiful, how about I take you to a fun place?"
As she spoke, the claws approached Lucas's chest.
[Vitality -5!]
[Vitality -5!]
[Vitality -5!]
[Ding! The system has detected an abnormality in the host's vitality and has been successfully activated!]
[System activation: 13%56%78%]
[Binding successful!]
As the binding progress increased, Lucas's consciousness also gradually became clear.
In this brief pause, the woman in front of her felt a little strange.
Frowning, she asked, "Tell me, do you want to go play with me or not?"
Under the cool stimulation in his mind, although Lucas was still a little dizzy, he had recovered half of his mind.
In a daze, Lucas heard the woman's question.
Lucas subconsciously asked, "Where are we going to play? Is it the three-day presidential five-star suite? Does it have a floor-to-ceiling window? Does it have an indoor swimming pool? Does it have a rooftop garden? Does it have a large-screen air purifier game?"
"Also, do you have a maid? I like those who are younger than me."
Woman: ???
The woman was taken aback and directly froze in place after hearing Lucas's answer.
After a long silence with Lucas, the woman suddenly let out a sharp laugh, and the warm expression on her face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a fierce expression.
A gust of wind suddenly rose, and the streetlights around began to flicker wildly.
In an instant, a stream of black energy surged out of the woman's body.
At the same time, her once fair and delicate skin started to decay right before Lucas's eyes.
Within a matter of seconds, she morphed from a stunning woman into a horrifying sight.
Her face was half gone, as if it had been devoured by a vulture, leaving behind an empty eye socket that revealed bone.
It looked like something was writhing beneath her skin.
The terrifying face, combined with the flickering light, snapped Lucas back to reality.
"Whoa, what the heck! This chick's a ghost!"
Lucas let out a shout and spun around to make a run for it.
But to his horror, he discovered that he couldn't move, as if he was under some kind of spell.
His gaze dropped down to his legs, and he saw two skeletal arms wrapped around his knees, holding him in place.
Just as he was about to lose it, he felt something approaching from behind.
"Hey there, little bro, where do you wanna go?"
At the same time, a warning bell from the system kept ringing in Lucas's head.
[Vitality -5!]
[Vitality -5!]
[Vitality -5!]
In a state of sheer terror, Lucas's brain stops processing commands, leaving him in a daze.
Under the influence of this bizarre atmosphere, Lucas's thoughts were as clear as mud.
So, when the woman asked him a question, he unconsciously replied:
"I'm gonna check if the presidential suite has any deals and find your maid for you."
As soon as he said this, Lucas regretted it.
He usually liked to mess with people, but the cost of doing so at this moment might be too high.
Sure enough, after hearing Lucas's words, the woman's aura turned cold.
Lucas's heart sank.
"Oh no!"
"Sorry, Miss... I didn't..."
The woman fell silent for a moment, and then her body suddenly froze.
Immediately afterwards, a murderous intent spread from her dark eyes.
The bone claw that was originally resting on Lucas's shoulder suddenly rose high, pointing at the back of Lucas's head, ready to strike down with force.
However, just at this moment, a cool sensation passed through Lucas's mind.
[Ding! The system has detected that the host's safety index is too low and has automatically activated the emergency plan!]
As the system's voice fell, a thick golden light suddenly burst out from Lucas's body.
Golden light shines, spirits scatter.
