Chapter 336: Chapter 23 Blood Threat

At last, with Peipei by her side, she finally felt a bit of comfort in her heart.

Yet, even with her present, once the six days were up, she had no idea what might happen.

"No, I can’t keep going like this, I must make some preparations."

Without sleep for the whole night yesterday, Yueyin spent all the time contemplating ways to solve the problem.

Having Peipei for company was indeed a psychological comfort, but it did not address the actual problem. With Lan Ying still in closed training at the soccer club and unable to return in six days, who else could she rely on in such a situation?

After much thought, she realized she could only depend on herself.

"Okay, okay..."

These past days, she had repeatedly searched for the origin of that red balloon, but could not find any information online.

However, without doubt... the red balloon had some sort of supernatural power that could easily manipulate causality. What was behind it?

If it were a Sorcerer or a Wizard, then that at least would mean the other party was human. If they were human, then there was room for communication. And if there was room for communication, then there was still hope. She had already withdrawn money from the bank, and if the other party really came looking for her, she might have to resort to negotiating with money.

But now, Yueyin began to consider another terrifying possibility. What if the other party wasn’t human at all?

For example, she recently searched for stories about the "Cthulhu Mythos" online, things like Evil Gods and Ancient Rulers, which were extremely frightening entities that humans were powerless to oppose. If it was one of these beings, Yueyin would be utterly incapable of resisting.

At the moment, she could not think of any countermeasures, so she decided to go out today.

During this period, she had no mood to attend school.

Once outside, Yueyin realized Peipei was not there either. It was the weekend, so where could she have gone?

But at this time, Yueyin had no desire to concern herself with Peipei’s whereabouts and headed straight out without giving it much thought.

After stepping out, she carefully surveyed her surroundings, fearing a repeat of last time, where an old lady might come charging out. At this moment, she was truly at the peak of fear.

As she hurried out, Dai Lin was watching this entire scene.

"Follow her."

"Mm." According to Milan’s advice, Dai Lin chose not to return to the hospital for now, as he had already been granted a long leave. With the Demons Department lurking around, rashly going back might not be wise. It was better to return when he was stronger.

And according to Milan, Yueyin was a key for Dai Lin to become stronger.

Yueyin reached the elevator, intending to press the button, but suddenly her hand started trembling.

She was truly afraid now and hesitated to take the elevator.

Left with no choice, she decided to use the stairs instead.

Walking down the staircase corridor, she took each step carefully while continually observing her surroundings.

Nothing will happen... right?

Just then, as she reached the second-floor landing, she saw a man leaning against the wall, smoking a cigarette.

She immediately kept close to the handrail, keeping as much distance as possible from the man, afraid to approach him.

The smoking man seemed to notice her expression and found it odd, but didn’t think much of it. Just then, he felt his phone vibrate, apparently receiving a message.

However, as he was enjoying his cigarette, he didn’t bother to check his phone.

A few moments later, a man and a woman descended from the floor above, and the foreign woman with blonde hair and blue eyes caught his eye. Her appearance and figure rivaled those of top Hollywood stars, and he couldn’t help but stare.

Realizing it might be rude to keep gazing at someone else’s girlfriend, he immediately took out his phone to check the message he had just received.

"Huh?"

But upon reading the message, he froze.

Yueyin arrived at the subway station and checked her phone, planning to visit a temple in the suburbs. Maybe she could find a venerable monk to help dissolve the curse?

At this point, she was desperately seeking remedies.

After boarding the crowded subway, she squeezed into an open spot, took out her phone, and continued searching for information about "high monks," "Buddhist Law," "consecrated prayer beads," "amulets," and the like.

Just then...

The passengers around her, almost simultaneously, had their phones either vibrating or ringing, and they all began looking at their devices.

"Hey, look!" A couple was next to her, and the woman said as she pulled her boyfriend’s arm, "What’s this message about? I never added this person, and it doesn’t show their ID or photo. Why are they telling me that I have six days left?"

"Yeah, me too. Weird, isn’t it? These spam messages are usually so poorly written, aren’t they always about buying shops or taking loans?"

As these words were spoken, the surrounding passengers were instantly stirred.

"Did you guys also receive a message like this?"

"Yeah, you too?"

"Yes, me too!"

A packed subway car with dozens of passengers, everyone’s phones received exactly the same message!

At this, Yueyin’s face turned extremely unsightly!

But the next moment, everyone’s phones rang again.

"Hey, look what this message says... Yueyin, you have six days left... What is Yueyin? A person’s name?"

"Who is this? Mass messaging our phones?"

"Is it a hacker messing around?"

At that time, the girl of the couple tapped on Yueyin’s shoulder and said, "Hey, did your phone also receive the same message?"

"No, no... not, it’s not, I..."

Right then, the subway arrived at a station, and Yueyin dashed out without hesitation, not caring which stop it was.

After bolting from the subway station, she gasped for air, overcome with fear.

"No, please... I beg you, I give up on that wish, okay? I don’t want any of my wishes anymore, okay? Please, I beg you, please let me go!"

She yelled desperately in the street, attracting the glances of passersby, some of whom started filming her with their phones.

She continued to walk around, and suddenly, it began to rain.

With her mind preoccupied, she naturally forgot to check the weather forecast and could only jog along her way.

At this time, there was a sunken plaza up ahead. So, she immediately rushed to the escalator, ran down, and then dashed into one of the restaurants.

As soon as she burst into the restaurant, a waiter came up to stop her.

She yelled at the waiter, "I know, six days left, I got it! Stop repeating it!"

The waiter was startled and said, "Miss, that’s not what I meant, you need to scan the code to enter..."

Yueyin then remembered about scanning the code, looked at the QR code posted outside and said, "Sorry, so sorry..."

Trembling, she took out her phone, scanned the code, showed it to the waiter, then entered the restaurant and sat down.

It was still early for lunchtime, so there weren’t many people inside the restaurant.

She was now drenched from the rain, panting heavily.

Her head dropped heavily onto the table as she had no idea what to do. If she continued like this, she would go mad eventually. She had no idea what would happen after six days.

At that moment, at the seat beside her, a man and a woman were eating steak.

"Doesn’t the steak seem a bit overdone..." The woman was cutting the steak in front of her, "Can you cut it for me?"

The man, eating his steak and playing a mobile game at the same time, said, "Wait a sec, will you?"

"Cut it for me!"

The woman raised her voice, clearly displeased.

"Here, I’m almost done, nearly cleared all the NPCs... just wait a bit more."

"How much longer?"

"Five minutes... Six minutes. Wait six more minutes."

"Six minutes? Why don’t you say wait another six days?"

Upon hearing the words "six days", Yueyin was terrified out of her wits and immediately lifted her head!

At the same time, the woman got angry, grabbed the steak knife, and threw it into the man’s plate.

However, she threw it too hard, and just as the man lifted his head, the steak knife flew unerringly... directly into the man’s eyeball!

"Aaaaaahhhh!"

The man screamed in agony, overturning the table in front of Yueyin.

The man, now on the ground, instinctively clutched at Yueyin’s trouser leg, as blood gushed onto Yueyin’s feet!

Witnessing this scene, Yueyin was paralyzed with horror!
