"Mission..."
Little Sheep stared blankly at the person before her, her eyes filled with confusion and fear as she instinctively shuffled backward.
Seeing her reaction, Ye Shi sheathed his blood-smeared short blade and scratched his helmet.
"Don't let how scary I look fool you. I'm actually a good person... Uh, okay, I know that doesn't sound very convincing."
If it were him, and some guy suddenly burst into his neighborhood on a killing spree, grabbed his arm, and demanded that he come along, he'd probably piss himself too.
The fact that this little girl hadn't been scared into tears showed she had pretty good nerves.
The problem was that he really had no idea how to explain the current situation. He was confused as hell himself.
According to the original plan, he was supposed to ride a carriage to the servants' quarters nearby, sneak into the annex after getting off, and spirit the girl away without anyone noticing.
However, things had gone off-plan from the very beginning.
The carriage suddenly stopped halfway there, and then the coachman charged inside and threw himself at Ye Shi like a madman.
At first, Ye Shi had intended to subdue him, but he soon found it was useless. The man wouldn't listen to a word and even tried to seize his weapon.
With no way to communicate, Ye Shi could only snap his neck, then jump down from the carriage and head straight for the annex in a corner of the estate.
However, once he reached the annex, he discovered that things were far more complicated than he had imagined. Everyone in the entire annex had turned into the same state as that coachman.
Almost the instant he stepped inside, those people sensed his presence and lunged at him like zombies.
