The indoor space not only became dimly lit, but even the air seemed to turn instantly colder.
It was as if the temperature had plummeted in the blink of an eye, sending shivers down one’s spine.
Looking out through the window, the sky appeared shrouded in dense black fog, swallowing all light, rendering the room pitch dark.
The entire space was filled with a sense of danger and fear.
The blood shadow seemed to be even more formidable than the dark shadow, its entire body seemingly composed of blood, and the blood could separate from its body to exist independently.
Even when entangled by the dark shadow, it could still send a part of its blood to seize the young man in the man’s arms.
The handsome stranger glanced around the dim room and suddenly produced a piece of paper with symbols on it.
As the paper made contact with the darkness, it ignited, faintly illuminating the entire room.
The paper floated in the air, and the light it emitted was not blinding, and the flames did not instantly consume the paper.
The flames seemed to be a natural radiance from the paper, burning mysteriously around it without damaging the paper in the slightest.
However, the light from the paper was limited and couldn’t illuminate the entire room, leaving the corners still dark and viscous.
It felt as if there could be monsters lurking inside, ready to pounce out and tear people apart mercilessly.
Moreover, the flickering light of the paper, against the intertwined dark and blood shadows in the room, looked extremely dangerous and terrifying, making it hard to catch one’s breath.
Thanks to the light from the paper, the view of the few people was no longer obstructed, and they all looked towards the young man held by the man. Their expressions froze.
The light from the burning paper shone on the young man’s face, giving a flickering effect, making him look exquisite, almost unreal.
He was simply lying quietly in the man’s arms, not even opening his eyes, yet he made people willingly give everything for him, even if it meant facing danger, like moths to a flame.
At this moment, the young man had already fainted, but his delicate brows were furrowed, and his face showed vulnerability and helplessness.
It seemed like he was experiencing something dreadful.
The man holding Ruan Qing was Chen Sihan, and he was trying hard to wake up Ruan Qing.
This blood shadow could pull people back into their memories and then kill them within those memories.
Half an hour ago, they entered this room and were pulled into memories by the blood shadow.
These memories were based on specific points in their recollections, but what happened within them was different from before, filled with danger and deadly intent.
Even a simple walk could result in a sudden blade descending from the sky, piercing your skull.
Not to mention the extremely dangerous monster that could come out and kill you at any moment.
Just when Chen Sihan almost died in his memories, he returned to reality.
It was... Yang Muqing who pulled him back.
In fact, when Yang Muqing fell to the ground, an uncontrollable thought suddenly popped into Chen Sihan’s mind.
Eat him, eat him...
Eating him would make me... stronger.
Although that inexplicable thought disappeared quickly, it left Chen Sihan deeply disturbed.
That aura seemed seemed similar to the meat he had bought from the mysterious person he had traded with before...
And it was because he had eaten that meat that he had become so strong.
That meat... was human flesh?
Chen Sihan didn’t have time to think too much, and he was subconsciously forced to step back by the horrifying aura emanating from Yang Muqing.
Yang Muqing seemed to have lost consciousness, but he was still standing, looking somewhat eerie.
In the dimly lit room, Chen Sihan could clearly see a shadow flowing out from the wound where he had been injured, merging with his own shadow.
Then, that shadow inexplicably grew, becoming immense.
As if it had no boundaries, it exuded an incredibly oppressive atmosphere.
As if anything touched by that black mist would be devoured.
Just as the blood shadow was about to feed the blood into the young man’s mouth, the gigantic black shadow moved.
But it wasn’t Yang Muqing who moved; it was the enormous black shadow that silently extended countless tendrils, instantly engaging in a fierce battle with the blood shadow.
Both the blood shadow and the black shadow seemed to lack physical forms, tightly entwined, as if they both wanted to consume each other.
It happened so quickly that Chen Sihan couldn’t see clearly.
However, in just a short minute or so, there was an additional young man in Chen Sihan’s arms.
The black shadow had snatched the young man back.
But Chen Sihan didn’t have time to check the young man’s condition; a portion of the blood shadow’s blood seemed to separate from its main body, transforming into a pair of horrifying blood hands, reaching out towards the other.
The bloody hand was filled with a terrifying sense of oppression, as if it was about to tear him and the person in his arms to shreds in the next moment.
Chen Sihan was startled, holding the young man and starting to evade the blood shadow’s attack, all while trying to awaken the young man.
Because it wasn’t safe just to retrieve the person from the blood shadow’s grasp. If he didn’t wake up from that memory, he would still be in danger.
Chen Sihan didn’t know how to pull the other from that memory.
He had managed to come out of it because his power seemed to be similar to Yang Muqing’s, and the influence of Yang Muqing’s dark shadow rampage had affected the him in the memory.
However, the situation with the young man in his arms was clearly different, and he couldn’t wake him up no matter what he tried.
And the dark shadow was entangled with the blood shadow, so there was no chance to deal with it on his side.
After trying many methods to no avail in waking the young man, Chen Sihan flashed to the door, hoping to open it and take the young man away from this place.
He wanted to see if they could escape the control of the blood shadow.
However, Room 406 seemed to be isolated from the real world and the door couldn’t be opened.
The young man in his arms was breathing very unsteadily, as if he was suffering some kind of pain, and it was becoming dangerous to leave him like this.
Just when Chen Sihan was getting increasingly anxious, the door that had been impossible to open was kicked open from the outside.
Then, a strange talisman ignited, and the extremely dark room instantly lit up.
***
Lu Rufeng followed the strange man into the room, and when he saw Ruan Qing in Chen Sihan’s arms with his erratic aura, he had a bad feeling. A card with a special pattern suddenly appeared at his fingertips.
Without thinking, he threw the card towards Ruan Qing.
When Chen Sihan saw something flying towards him, he subconsciously tried to dodge. Lu Rufeng widened his eyes and sternly commanded, “If you don’t want him to die, don’t move!”
Upon hearing the voice, Chen Sihan forcibly stopped his impulse to dodge the card and stood still, holding Ruan Qing stiffly.
The card flew to Ruan Qing in the blink of an eye, rapidly rotating above his forehead, emitting a cold white light.
The cold white light looked exceptionally chilling and seemed strangely compatible with Ruan Qing, making him appear as if he was a captivating forest spirit.
And because of the bloodstains on his face that he didn’t know when he had acquired, he exuded a fragile feeling, as well as a strangely pitiable aura.
So beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
Although the light was not very bright, it sprinkled onto Ruan Qing’s body as if it dispelled the darkness.
Ruan Qing’s tightly furrowed brows slightly relaxed, and his long eyelashes trembled like feathers, indicating that he was about to wake up.
Just as Chen Sihan breathed a sigh of relief, several urgent male voices suddenly came from not far away.
“Be careful!!!”
“Duck!!!”
“Quick, get out of the way!!!”
However, it was already too late. A gigantic bloodied hand pierced through Chen Sihan’s heart directly, then took away Ruan Qing, who was just about to wake up.
Chen Sihan wanted to snatch him back, but because that bloodied hand had crushed his heart, he could only clutch his chest in disbelief and collapse.
The others were at the entrance and somewhat farther away, only able to watch as the blood shadow took Ruan Qing away.
Ruan Qing’s consciousness lingered as the icy-cold blood was about to slide down his throat. Then, his vision went black, and the icy-cold liquid in his mouth disappeared.
He probably hadn’t swallowed it yet.
Ruan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, his eyelashes trembling slightly as he slowly opened his eyes.
But what he saw was a terrifying and gigantic blood shadow.
The blood shadow only had a humanoid appearance, but it was four to five times the size of an ordinary human, with a single hand capable of easily crushing him.
Although the blood shadow seemed to have facial features, it appeared as if its skin had been forcibly peeled away, leaving it as a bloody and fleshy mass.
Even its blood flowed, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, like little worms.
It was horrifying, ominous, and gave an overwhelming sense of dread.
Moreover, the blood was incredibly cold, carrying a fearful and dangerous aura that made people shiver involuntarily.
And he was currently held in the grasp of the blood shadow, as if it was about to devour him in the next second.
Ruan Qing, who had just opened his eyes and was caught off guard by this sight, widened his eyes, his pupils shrinking. His beautiful eyes were filled with fear and terror. He froze instantly, his mind went blank, and even his heart stopped abruptly.
In the next moment... he fainted.
Because Ruan Qing had only opened his eyes for less than three seconds, and because he was blocked by the enormous blood shadow, no one noticed that he had seen this.
