Chapter 175 Fors' Fear
"Huff, huff..."
Fors struggled to breathe, supporting Hugh's weak body, and the two of them knelt and ran towards the end of the alley.
"Stare! Stare! Stare!"
Heavy footsteps approached, followed closely by a group of men in pursuit. These men wore ordinary worker uniforms, seemingly trying to disguise themselves as locals. However, their fanatical and twisted expressions completely betrayed the fact that they were not residents of the East District.
As the distance between the two and their pursuers gradually closed, Hugh, who was leaning against Fors, struggled to sit up and turn around.
"My verdict is: leave!"
She shouted sternly at those people.
An invisible judgment, accompanied by a chilling aura, echoed through the alley. The pursuers involuntarily stopped, some even colliding with those in front because they couldn't stop in time, causing chaos.
Fors seized the opportunity to quicken her pace and escape. She saw that after Hugh used up his power, his face quickly turned even paler.
Damn!
They came for Hugh!
She thought anxiously to herself, "Mr. Fool, this is too dangerous!"
On that wondrous night, above that magical gray mist, the lofty and mysterious Mr. Fool rescued her from the unknown voices. Concerned for Hugh's injuries, she also made a plea to that being.
The patient's answer was an address.
“There lives a powerful being who has attained the ‘Mystic’ path. His situation is special; he doesn’t worship evil gods and should be able to fulfill your request…” Mr. Fool paused, then continued, “Also, do not mention my name in front of him.”
How could a charlatan who doesn't believe in a true Creator become so powerful? I know now, he must be a follower of Mr. Fool, receiving his protection...
At that moment, Fors made this guess in his mind.
After returning to reality from the gray fog, Fors spent a night considering her options and finally decided to trust Mr. Fool. After all, he had saved her and shown some goodwill.
So, after daybreak, she helped Hugh head to the East District to find the mysterious doctor. However, before they even reached their destination, the corrupt aura emanating from Hugh attracted a group of strange individuals. They were wandering the East District, seemingly searching for something, and upon seeing Hugh, they became fanatical and terrifying, launching an attack.
"Hang in there, take a break!"
Fors gasped for breath, feeling a burning pain in her lungs. She regretted not exercising more before, instead spending all her time lying down, which had led to insufficient strength and caused problems at this crucial moment.
"Thump thump thump!"
Soon, footsteps sounded again from behind. The pursuers weren't extraordinary individuals, but they were exceptionally difficult to deal with; even Xiu's abilities could only slow them down for a short while. Their minds seemed to have been spun out of control by fanaticism, making it difficult for any mental influence to take effect.
"You can run away yourself..."
"Shu said in a muffled voice."
"Shut up!"
Although Fors could easily shake them off with her "opening the door" ability, the illusory door only allowed her to pass through alone, preventing her from escaping with Hugh.
She can't abandon Xiu!
Fors walked through the alley, and the view opened up a bit more. Suddenly, she saw an excessively handsome young man standing in front of her, curiously looking at the two of them.
His gaze lingered on Hugh for a while longer.
If it weren't for the current situation, Fors might have wanted to strike up a conversation with this handsome young man. But in the present circumstances, all she wanted to do was escape as quickly as possible.
"Get out of the way..."
"Aaaaaah!"
Hugh, who was leaning on her shoulder, suddenly groaned in pain, her body convulsing. Her movements were too abrupt, disrupting their balance. The already exhausted Fors lost control and fell to the ground with Hugh.
Oops!
The pain from the fall jolted Fors to her feet. She turned to look at Hugh and saw that his wound was rapidly worsening, and he was in excruciating pain.
"Xiu, get up!"
Fors tried to help her petite friend up, but she had lost control of her body and was just convulsing.
moan.
"It is the breath of the Lord."
At the alley entrance, the group of fanatical extremists had caught up, their eyes greedily fixed on the fallen Hugh.
hateful...
Fors gritted her teeth, pulled a dagger from under her skirt, and prepared to fight these guys to the death. Just then, she suddenly noticed that the handsome young man had walked up to her and knelt down to check on Hugh's injuries.
Are you out of your mind?!
"Get out of here quickly."
She kindly advised him.
Unfortunately, the young man completely ignored her and was only looking down at Xiu.
"Cecilia, spare one of them."
He said it without looking up.
Stay alive?
The sound of the body falling to the ground suddenly rang out, and Fors looked up blankly.
Then she saw a slender figure swiftly weaving through the crowd. Sharp daggers gleamed coldly, appearing intermittently at their throats, hearts, and other vital points. Splattering blood accompanied by screams rang out simultaneously, adding a touch of vibrant color to this dance of slaughter.
Fors then realized that the person was actually an extremely beautiful young girl.
When only one person remained, the black-haired girl reversed the dagger and struck the man on the back of the head with the handle, knocking him unconscious. She noticed Fors's gaze, looked over with her azure eyes, and gave him a gentle and beautiful smile.
At this moment, a few drops of bright red blood were still stained on her delicate face.
Next time I write a novel, I'll use her as a model...:
Fors thought to himself, lost in thought.
It took her a moment to realize what was happening.
No, I need to take Xiu to see a doctor right away!
"Thank you for saving me..."
She thanked him with a mixture of gratitude and trepidation.
Although they helped me, they were far too efficient at killing.
"Your friend is badly injured."
"Yes, I'm just about to take her to see a doctor..."
"Most doctors can't cure her." Before Fors could finish speaking, she was interrupted casually, "I can help you treat her."
But as compensation, you have to answer some questions for me.
The young man spoke with an unquestionable tone, his eyes seeming to radiate a kind of madness that instilled fear in Fors, leaving him unable to refute.
"Um... okay, thank you very much."
Fors wanted to say that she had already found the right person, but the beautiful young woman had already walked over. Seeing the still-dripping blood from her dagger, Fors wisely refrained from uttering a word of refusal.
At worst, I'll leave when he becomes incurable... Don't anger them...
"Wait a moment while I take care of things here."
Lu Ze ignored the other person's psychological changes, turned around, stepped over several corpses, and squatted down in front of the unconscious person.
The shepherds' characteristics didn't react; they weren't extraordinary. However, they weren't ordinary people either. Through their eyes, Luze could see the corrupting aura emanating from the corpses, indicating that these people were followers of the true Creator.
It's interesting to see a group of true Creator's followers chasing after an extraordinary being who has been corrupted.
