Chapter 13

Chapter 13

Xu Da had been utterly decisive. There was no hope of saving him.

By the time the rest of us returned to the wooden cabin, our hearts were pounding like mad.

But none of us expected that the cabin, its front door hanging wide open, would be just as drenched in blood.

Shi Yuhan and Xu Er lay collapsed in pools of it, each with a gaping hole in their chest. Only Ren Meng was gone.

Gone with him was Ba Wuyue’s goat.

“Fuck!”

Beside the cabin, I picked up the door beam I had propped there earlier.

There was no need to think. It had to be that animal Ren Meng!

He had been scared out of his wits by the female ghost last night, and today, when he fought Shi Yuhan over the goat, he hadn’t held back at all. In the end, he hadn’t even spared the innocent Xu Er.

All of them had been carrying knives so they could kill the goat.

Now I seriously suspected Dashun’s death might have had something to do with Ren Meng too.

He and Shi Yuhan were demons who had bullied people on campus.

And demons like that actually thought they could use one goat to absolve themselves?

When I lifted the door beam, Yi Jingchen glanced at it, then gave me a strange look.

I didn’t notice him. At that moment, all I had left was a chest full of rage, and I desperately needed to let it out.

The four of us rushed to the altar together. Maybe this bizarre sacrifice was meant to end there.

The altar stood on a hillside. It was outside the forest, with almost no vegetation nearby, only hard, barren earth.

But the closer we got to the altar, the softer the soil became. Waves of foul, bloody stench rolled through the air, as if the whole place had been steeped in it.

By the time we reached the altar, Ren Meng had already cut off the goat’s head.

He was covered in blood from head to toe. It was impossible to tell how much was human blood and how much was goat’s.

Holding the goat’s head in both hands, he laughed wildly at us. “I did it! I did it! That bitch will never hurt me again! Ahahaha…”

I never expected Ba Wuyue to be the first one to charge forward.

She screamed, “It was you! It was you! I knew it was you! Why did you hurt me?”

Afraid Ren Meng would hurt Ba Wuyue, I hurriedly reached out and grabbed her.

Ba Wuyue thrashed like a madwoman, waving the sharp knife in her hand. “I’m going to kill you! Kill you! You ruined my whole life! I hate you!”

In that instant, a clue flashed through my mind.

The person Ba Wuyue was screaming at should have been the friend who had given her the eyes. But why would she mistake Ren Meng for that friend?

Before I could figure it out, a fierce gust of force suddenly came at me from behind.

With no other choice, I turned and blocked with the door beam.

It was Yi Jingchen!
