Chapter 16: Chapter 13 Underworld Paradise
The sun moved faster than they had anticipated.
The side street and most areas were shrouded in shadows.
It really was bad luck.
On the façade of a supermarket, its gigantic billboard was distinctly taller than the neat storefront.
It was the shadow cast by this billboard onto the street that created a protrusion in the shadowy tide line!
The faster runners had already crossed this protruding shadow.
While the bloated guy had only just arrived!
The two had already run until their eyes were glassy, paying no attention to the fact that their feet were already under the billboard's shadow!
Thus, as soon as their feet stepped in, the "Water Ghosts" gathered in this zone of death suddenly sprang up, their ghostly monkey-like claws clutching the bloated man's legs tightly!
The bloated man was scared out of his wits, his massive body falling to the ground!
He didn't just fall onto the concrete; it was as if he collapsed into a den, as dozens of Shadow Evil Spirits emerged from the billboard-sized shadow zone.
They quickly crawled all over the bloated man, claws tearing, fangs gnawing, and even after disemboweling him, one smaller Shadow Evil Spirit burrowed into his body from within, eating him from the inside out!
"Ahhhh!!!!"
The screams echoed through the street.
In a place like this, death wasn't the scariest thing.
Throughout the entire feeding frenzy, the bloated man remained alive. The Shadow Water Ghosts were vicious and cruel, knowing exactly where to start eating first to keep their prey alive and the meat fresh longer...
Yang Qin was so scared that her legs gave out, and she collapsed to the ground.
If she hadn't turned back in time, she would have ended up just like the bloated man!
It was too terrifying!
This place was too terrifying!!
She didn't want to stay in such a place at all.
"Stupid." Su Li watched the entire process coldly.
In fact, when Jiang Wang and Xu Yan made this decision, Su Li had already known these people wouldn't survive.
They had no understanding of the rules of the evil sun.
It was completely different from the bright, clear day they remembered.
Its movement speed was actually faster!
So not just the bloated man who couldn't run away, but no one else could hope to escape the side street alive!
"Ahhhh!!!!"
Indeed, the screeches sounded again, clearly audible even from a mile away.
It was the older man, who, due to exhaustion, veered into the shadow, looking like a piece of meat falling into a pool of piranhas, blood spraying, forming a visible mist!
"Faster!!"
"Faster!!"
Jiang Wang and Xu Yan ran at the front.
They saw that they were about to reach the main street, which basked in ample sunlight.
But the side street's shadow was like a merciless giant stone door, closing bit by bit!
Finally, when they were less than a hundred meters from the side street, the shadows completely covered the entire street, and hundreds of Shadow Water Ghosts began to hunt them!
"No, no, no! No, no, no!!" Jiang Wang screamed in despair.
"Did I offend him somehow? Why is he so indifferent to me?" Yang Qin was puzzled.
However, before Yang Qin could think further, the anxious and uneasy mood of the others alerted her that something was wrong!
The other members of the group turned in circles in place like frightened horses; some even wanted to climb back over the wall.
"Su Li, what do you mean by this? Didn't you see what's on the ground ahead???" The older woman in the group screeched.
"Midnight Mass!! Those are all Midnight Mass!! Did you bring us to the Midnight Mass's nest, Su Li!!"
"Let me go back, let me go back, I don't want to stay in this hellish place!!"
The group descended into chaos, everyone unable to stay calm.
It would have been fine if they hadn't climbed over the wall without knowing the state of the train station area.
But after crossing, they realized the train station and both sides of the extended track were densely lined with terrifying stone statues!
It was like accidentally stepping into a terrifying stone sculpture factory.
The problem was, everyone living here knew those motionless things under the sunlight weren't ordinary stones; they were more frightening than the Dusk Evil Spirits and Shadow Evil Spirits—Midnight Mass!!!
Su Li hadn't told them the truth.
The old train station was the Midnight Mass's nest!!
"This is the only way to leave this piece of Evil Soil." Su Li said calmly.
"But..."
"But what, if you're not lost, you should know Midnight Mass can't move during the day, not even on cloudy days, when they're in statue form. Right now, they're just statues!" Su Li said.
The group, hearing Su Li's stern reprimand, quickly stopped their uneasy racket.
Indeed, if the Midnight Mass could move, they'd have been devoured upon crossing the wall!
To get through the Midnight Mass's nest...
Leaving here towards the Nuwa Divine Tree wouldn't be too far now.
Their final destination was the Nuwa Divine Tree.
"We have two hours until sunset; the Midnight Mass won't attack us, so let's follow Su Li's plan." The scar-faced uncle in the group said.
"It's too late to go back now." Wu Hen added.
The four to five kilometers of track also had no obstructions, and the sunlight covered the bare railway, slightly easing the others' anxiety.
"Let's go." Su Li still led the group at the front.
However, this time she drew her gun, maintaining a vigilant posture.
Su Li gave Wu Hen a look, signaling him to stick close to her no matter what.
Wu Hen wished he could shrink into a baby, nestling in the butt of Su Li's long gun. A wise and capable older sister, what's not to love!
"These Midnight Mass, they really won't move?" Yang Qin asked the scar-faced uncle in a small voice.
"They shouldn't."
"Sh...should??" Yang Qin's eyes widened in fear, tears of terror starting to form again.
Alongside the track, weeds flourished; even under the bright sunlight, it still exuded a cemetery-like eeriness.
Moreover, those statuesque evil spirits standing one after another, their statue state eerily lifelike, especially their faces. They smiled differently, yet each grinned with a chilling deceitfulness!
If anything, they resembled the ghost messengers in hell who come to greet you.
They welcomed you to the Underworld Paradise with smiling faces, outwardly polite, yet always showing tiny expressions and movements impatiently ready to torment you!
With the light source, did they really not move?
Yang Qin still felt that no matter where she went, their eyes were always on her.
