The gun vibrated slightly in Lu Yibei’s grip, and the charm, engraved with complicated runes, shot out of the muzzle with a swoosh, colliding with Miss Rabbit’s psychic energy and immediately activating it as it trembled with an emerald light…
The emerald light shone with brilliance, and Miss Rabbit’s scarlet eyes were dyed green with panic, and it would blow her head up in less than a second…
‘Tailwind through the sands of time; thunder that pulls through the dark clouds; the spindle that travels through the cracks of time…’
A slight incantation left the lips of the man behind them, and the shimmering, trembling emerald charm slowed down its trajectory like it was moving in slow motion.
Lu Yibei didn’t hear the man’s spell, but she could hear a series of noises ringing in her ears.
The crackling sound of electricity, followed by the deep yet eerie atmosphere of a deep jungle, coupled with the endless depths of the sea…
An intense burning in her eyes brought her back to reality, and in that daze of two seconds, Miss Rabbit’s head flicked to the side.
The charm landed limply less than a metre away and exploded, blasting away the side of Miss Rabbit’s face into a bloodied mess, revealing sharp, dense rows of canines.
Countless pink, wriggly maggots repaired her wound, restoring her original, seductive appearance.
Yibei was terrified; she hastily loaded another bullet while Miss Rabbit was recovering, only for a disturbing, commanding voice to force her to slow down.
Her body stagnated as if it were covered with rust, and it seemed as if time was slowing down.
The moment she pulled the trigger, Miss Rabbit had already rolled out of the way as she yelled, “Why didn’t you use it earlier? I could have died!”
“You just asked me not to let her escape,” the man yelled back. “Not intervene in the battle, I thought.”
“Forget it!” Miss Rabbit growled as she got up, walking towards Yibei with uncontrolled anger festering in her scarlet eyes.
“You little thief, I changed my mind,” she uttered, gripping the crowbar in her hand.
“Y-you’re letting me go?”
Miss Rabbit twitched her lips and said, “Are you dumb? I’m killing you! I have no use for you anymore! You’re dying tonight!”
“Help me kill her!” Miss Rabbit yelled at the man. “This is an order!”
“Finally!” The man smiled as a light flashed in his eyes. “We’re getting to the fun part.”
The man let out a low, inhuman growl, and clusters of black pustules appeared on his exposed skin.
He inhaled a violent breath, causing his chest to swell and the mounds of bones protruding from his body to turn from a pale white to an endless black.
His eyes were fully white, his tongue stuck out, and his saliva dripped down the sides of his mouth.
A black mist orbited him, and as the wind swept the mist towards Yibei, it carried a disgusting stench, like the musk of a wild animal.
A werewolf? Miss Rabbit thought. ‘No, it’s too disgusting, too filthy. It can’t be…’
She has seen urban legends relating to werewolves before or psychics that turn into werewolves, but they never had any powerful psychic fluctuations.
Boom!
An explosion sounded in her ears, and the man disappeared from sight.
When she turned around, she saw the Witch’s body being slammed into a wall not far away and the man in a posture as if he had just punched someone.
‘Too fast!’
The blow caught the Witch off guard. Before she knew it, her petite body was smashed into the wall, and waves of pain bit at her bones as if all of the bones in her body were broken.
‘H-he’s strong…’
The scorching heat in her eyes was unbearable, and two lines of bloodied tears slid down her fair cheeks; she felt enlightened by the current situation.
The man approached her broken body little by little, and she raised her hands in surrender, shouting, “W-wait, please! I… I have something to say!”
The man was visibly caught off guard, and Miss Rabbit herself was stunned too.
“I… I, too, changed my mind. I…”
As she spoke, she silently recited the incantation buried in her heart, giving up her passive suppression of the two forces that wanted to break through her soul.
There is a mountain, and there is a woman. A drought…
“Ack!” she coughed out, and her chest seemed to be hit by a ferocious beast within. A strange cold spread from her chest, and the pain caused her body to convulse uncontrollably.
It’s beginning, she thought, her mind empty. ‘Like every evening.’
Her blood seemed to be ignited in an instant, and a golden-red light flashed through her veins. Her pores gushed out sweat, which immediately evaporated into steam.
A hot current rushed straight into her heart through her veins, colliding with the cool feeling in her chest. Her heart stopped beating, and she slumped forward, face-first into the floor.
The cold and scorching heat met and fought in her body as if they were fighting for dominance, and a familiar song sounded in her ears.
“Lend me your eyes,
And let me see the commotion clearly.”
Hearing the song, Lu Yibei cheered in her mind as she fell into darkness.
