Upon hearing Chen Zhi's screams, everyone instinctively stepped back, on guard.
They discovered that this woman was not quite the same as the one described in the legends.
She's insane; she kills without hesitation.
Ma Rui had indeed offended her, so she had a reason to kill Ma Rui.
But Chen Zhi hadn't done anything to offend her, yet she treated him like this.
This is going too far.
Although they didn't have much affection for Chen Zhi either, they still felt disheartened.
They didn't think continuing to follow Bai Shuang would be a good choice; they didn't know when this woman might kill them.
This is a complete madman.
Bai Shuang looked at the expressions on the others' faces and said, "I didn't do it. I have absolutely no reason to do it!"
The crowd took a few steps back, and Li Qu forced a smile as he spoke.
"Yes, yes, we believe you didn't do it."
Yang Hua and An Qian echoed, "Yes, we believe you."
Although they said that, their tone and expressions betrayed them.
It was obvious that they didn't believe a word Bai Shuang said.
Besides Bai Shuang, who else here has this ability? If not her, then who?
Moreover, when she attacked Ma Rui, she claimed that she didn't do it.
Bai Shuang could tell, of course, that these three people didn't believe her at all.
She knew that explaining was pointless; the key was how she could make amends.
At this moment, Chen Zhi was rolling around on the ground, unable to bear the intense itching all over his body.
The screams grew louder and louder; if this continued, it would inevitably attract the attention of the city's residents.
Bai Shuang knew that the most important thing now was what she should do.
If she could relieve Chen Zhi's pain, those people would probably believe her.
Although she is quite capable, it is still difficult for her to complete the mission alone; she needs the support of others.
Therefore, she cannot allow these people to completely turn away from her.
"Miss Bai, please save me! I haven't offended you! Please let me go!"
"I didn't do it," Bai Shuang said. "Now I'll relieve your pain."
If the worms inside Chen Zhi's body are killed, others will believe that she didn't do any of this.
Bai Shuang immediately took action, placing her hand on Chen Zhi's body, which immediately relieved the itching on Chen Zhi's body.
The female worm is inside Chen Zhi's body and is currently in its reproductive phase. The eggs will circulate throughout his body via his bloodstream, and at this time, Chen Zhi will only feel itchy.
But once the larvae awaken, they will begin to devour the host's flesh and bone marrow.
At that time, the host will feel immense pain, which even she cannot resolve.
But the current situation is still within her capabilities, and she can still resolve it.
The itching on Chen Zhi's body gradually disappeared, and his eyes regained their clarity.
Bai Shuang explained, "It must be that worms from Ma Rui's corpse entered your body, which is why this happened."
Actually, she didn't think so, but it was a reason that everyone could accept.
That's definitely more effective than her directly explaining that she didn't do it.
Hearing her say that, the others' guard was lowered considerably.
Because this makes sense, and Bai Shuang did indeed help alleviate Chen Zhi's pain.
As long as Bai Shuang isn't a madwoman who kills her teammates for no reason, then everyone can still get along.
Because nobody wants to follow a madman who might turn on his teammates at any moment.
Chen Zhi looked at her and said, "Thank you, Bai Xiao... Ah--"
Before Chen Zhi could finish speaking, he let out another painful scream, even more shrill than before.
Excruciating pain spread throughout his body. At that moment, he felt as if countless insects were gnawing at his flesh and blood, devouring his body.
The excruciating pain coursed through his body, shattering his reason and filling his eyes with madness.
"Ah--"
Chen Zhi roared incessantly, rolling wildly on the ground and repeatedly banging his head against it.
At this moment, for him, living might be more painful than dying.
The other three felt a chill run down their spines.
It seems they underestimated Bai Shuang's madness; she had no intention of saving Chen Zhi at all.
They would never believe Bai Shuang again; she was a complete madwoman.
At this moment, Bai Shuang was also shocked, because she discovered that the worms inside Chen Zhi's body seemed to have changed, becoming many times stronger than the worms she had used.
There's no way she could kill the worms inside Chen Zhi's body. If those worms were to parasitize her body, she might not be able to deal with it either.
Why is this happening?
Bai Shuang didn't understand at all.
Chen Zhi continued to roll on the ground, desperately grabbing at his body with his hands.
He had torn his clothes to shreds, and there was hardly any intact skin left on his body.
"You bitch, why are you treating me like this? When did I ever offend you?"
"Ah--"
"Please, kill me! Kill me!"
Chen Zhi screamed desperately, his voice already hoarse, but the excruciating pain continued to torment him.
The insects devoured his flesh and blood, burrowed into his bones, and sucked his marrow.
The excruciating pain completely robbed him of his reason; he couldn't care about anything else and could only desperately curse this vicious and cruel woman.
Bai Shuang's face was extremely pale, but only she knew that none of this concerned her.
She did nothing wrong; she was truly framed.
But at this point, who would believe her?
With a hint of reluctance on his face, Yang Hua manipulated several steel needles, piercing them into Chen Zhi's brain.
Chen Zhi finally stopped yelling.
The suffering ended, but so did his life.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Bai Shuang was now even more certain that someone was indeed controlling everything.
That person had been watching them ever since they entered the Instance, and was playing dirty tricks on them behind their backs.
Logically, the Instance boss should be inside that house, but after they went in, the boss was inexplicably not there.
That was just a soulless walking corpse, with no reason to break the established patterns formed over many years.
Not only that, but Ma Rui, whom she killed, actually appeared there. It was as if that person had predicted they would find the place, so they placed the body there beforehand.
Chen Zhi didn't know why she was parasitized by those insects, and the insects inside Chen Zhi body were even more dangerous than her own.
She simply didn't believe that no one was behind this.
Someone must be manipulating all of this.
She didn't understand that person's purpose, but without a doubt, he was a terrifying being.
Could it be that the boss of this Instance is manipulating all of this?
That's unlikely, because it's just a mindless zombie.
But who else is there?
She glanced at the three people behind her; they hadn't left her sight the entire time, so it clearly couldn't be them.
They didn't have that opportunity.
Could it be...?
She considered another possibility, a possibility that also horrified her.
Ma Rui didn't actually die; he was the one manipulating everything from behind the scenes.
If that's the case, then he is undoubtedly a deeply scheming and terrifying individual.
She felt she had finally met her match.
"Someone's coming!" Bai Shuang whispered, glancing at the three people behind her. "Let's hide!"
The three men exchanged glances. They knew that Chen Zhi's screams had attracted the residents, and they now had to hide.
But they no longer dared to be with that woman.
This woman is absolutely insane.
Bai Shuang said, "Let's find a safe place to hide first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
I will give you an explanation; the important thing now is to get away from those residents.
The three finally made up their minds to hide with Bai Shuang first, otherwise the residents would give them a hard time.
We'll talk about Chen Zhi later.
