Zhang Heng was so terrified he collapsed to the ground; immense fear seized his every thought, preventing him even from attempting to flee backward, leaving him only able to inch slowly away.
What is it?
Was it those two elderly people?
Why do they want to kill us?
They were so kind before, letting us in, providing lodging and hot water, and feeding us a hearty meal—was it all just to kill us?
Why?
Why why why...
The immense fear caused Zhang Heng's spirit to collapse entirely. As he inched backward, he was much slower than the two elderly people, so much so that by the time they rounded the corridor and the candlelight shone upon him, he had not made it back into the darkness.
At that moment, Zhang Heng also saw the elderly couple's faces.
