Ning Yu wanted to cry as she stared at the horrifying sight in front of her. She choked back on the gasp at the back of her throat and tried to cling onto the couch on which she was standing with her legs trembling so hard that she might have fallen in the pool of blood by now but she couldn't let herself fall in that bloody mess!

" You are up," said a raspy, chilling voice, one that was so cold that Ning Yu and the others felt it in their bones, their hearts clenched as they saw Wu Genji turning to look at them, the sight only made Huo Feng scramble further on the couch as he shook his head and cried out loud.

Even though Wu Genji only needed to shift her legs to turn around and look at them, she didn't do it maybe it was because of the monstrous thing that was sticking out of her chest. It was still gnawing on the head of the young miss spilling half of her brain on the floor, maybe Wu Genji did not want to disturb the thing while it was eating. She was very considerate regarding that thing!

Ning Yu wished that Wu Genji showed them even one-fourth of that consideration, she was showing that thing but then she watched Wu Genji turn her neck one hundred eighty degrees around with a creaking noise and shivered even more.

" I was thinking when you will be waking up, surprisingly you slept through all the screams and yells that were echoing in the room," Wu Genji no longer looked like her sickly self anymore, her skin was mottling grey like that of a corpse with scary blue veins marring her face as her blotchy face ticked with the number of worms and bugs that were crawling underneath her skin.

Ning Yu watched as the flesh-eating bug scuttled out of Wu Genji's left nostril and headed straight to her mouth but instead of swatting it away, Wu Genji chewed the bug that was nibbling on her lips and swallowed it whole. " I am glad that you are awake, I wanted to enjoy the sounds of your screams when my friend here helps herself to another meal."

As she spoke, the monster that was lapping at the fluids inside the skull of the young miss having finished eating the brain raised its head and turned to look at Ning Yu and the others who have managed to survive till now. It would have been good if it hadn't raised its head because the thing was not just scary, it was earth-shattering horrifying!

It was the same monster that Ning Yu has seen earlier, but this time it no longer had any human features left in it, with her mouth that was as long and narrow as a snake with jig jag teeth similar to that of a piranha, the woman looked really horrible, especially with her blotchy, skin peeling head with only a few strands of hair like that of maniac scientist.

That thing was already a nightmare come true but then it raised its head and looked at them with a stranger sinister smile as if it knew that they were the next hunt that it needed to prey on.

It dropped the idea of licking the empty skull of the young miss anymore and instead turned to look at the three of them and then with the speed and fluidity of a snake it attacked them.

Ning Yu was so scared that she covered her face, while Huo Feng and Ning Ying hugged her tight, all of them were scared out of their wits, this time even Huo Feng couldn't hold it in anymore and ended up wetting himself just Ning Ying, he wanted to run away but he also knew that he couldn't leave Ning Yu. Not because of his one-sided crush but because he knew that she was the only one who could save him in this situation!

He had seen how the monster wasn't able to touch Ning Yu before and that was why he was putting all his luck on Ning Yu but the thing was that even though he knew that he might be able to survive this attack, seeing the thing lunge at them with its mouth open, Huo Feng couldn't stop the scream that was lodged in his throat.

The scream was just as mournful and desperate as his condition was, it was as desperate as it could have been.

Seeing that the monster was getting closer and closer, Huo Feng closed his eyes and hugged Ning Yu's calves before sending a quick prayer to the God and lords in heaven. As the monster approached Ning Yu, the pendant on her skin glowed bright golden and then just as the monster got three feet closer to them, a golden shield surrounded Ning Yu and everyone else close to her.

The thing was caught off guard as it bit something holy instead of the delicious flesh that it has been expecting, a mournful scream escaped its lips and even Wu Genji was not able to escape the consequences of the harsh retaliation. She coughed out a mouthful of black blood before staggering a few steps back.

" What the fck?" She cursed out loud as she looked down at the blood that she has coughed out in disbelief, she was completely caught off by the power that was protecting Ning Yu. " How can you …. That damned pendant!"

The realisation finally struck her and so did Ning Yu as she clutched the pendant in her hand while trembling hard, just now she was so scared that she almost cried for her mother.

Ning Ying stared at the thing and dropped on the headrest of the couch but he didn't let go of Ning Yu as he gasped and breathed harshly, " Why…why are you doing this to us? We have been nothing but kind to you." He looked at the bodies or what was left of them on the floor and his eyes turned red. He has been friends with these people ever since he was a child and as for the young siblings of them, he watched a few getting born in front of him, the more he looked at the horror in front of him, the more his eyes turned red as he shouted at Wu Genji, " How can you be this ruthless, we have done nothing wrong to you!"
