Chapter25

Some areas were laid out similar to Blood Slaughter's place: apart from the main building, there were mostly scattered, abandoned, uninhabited houses, and endless scorched earth and ruins.

Others looked just like city blocks—a building after another, looking as if you'd entered some urban city, if you ignored the constant, unnerving silence and sense of unease on the streets.

This seemed even more like a small city. There were more rooms suitable for people to rest and live, and unlike the Blood Slaughter Region where the evil spirit's lair was obvious, but here, it was actually even easier to run into a ghost.

Unless you had brain damage, you would never willingly step into Blood Slaughter's main building.

But in this maze of identical buildings and rooms, no one could tell whether the direction they chose led to an evil spirit's den.

As Jiang Che moved farther away, the ground was no longer scorched earth—no longer the appearance of plants burnt by fire.

Fresh green grass had grown, but beads of blood clung to every blade, dripping down one by one, irrigating the cracked and blackened ground.

The ground was soaked in blood red. Clearly, this was another evil spirit's domain.

Jiang Che lifted his foot; ever since stepping into this new area, he'd felt a sticky sensation underneath his shoes.

The blood stains covering the ground were always half-dried, thick and disgusting.

He walked a few steps, immediately leaving a trail of footprints behind him—but before long, the sticky bloody prints slowly merged back into the surrounding stains, erasing any trace of a human's passage.

Squish—

Squish—

No matter how lightly Jiang Che walked, each step made that grating, unbearable noise from stepping on the ground.

Jiang Che frowned—his own home was better than this.
