Xue Tingtao slumped against the corner on the second floor, still shaken as he recalled the icy chill of that terrifying darkness brushing past him.
He had never imagined that a Sin Object might one day kill a person. The thought only diminished what little courage he already had.
"I... I mean, where does that leave us now?"
By now, Xue Tingtao deeply regretted taking part in tonight's operation.
He had agreed in the first place only because he had placed blind faith in their advantages.
Back then, they had Mei Sheng and Wei Guang for brains, him and Li Dahong for Sin Objects, and an advantage in intelligence on top of that.
All those factors combined had stirred even a lifelong coward like him into wanting to take on a ghost.
But now, Li Dahong was half dead, the Sin Object's backlash had struck a person, and although the Gold Generates Water Barrier had yet to take effect, it was fraught with hidden dangers...
Once that brief surge of hot blood cooled, all that remained was lingering fear and regret.
Shi Man sighed at his words, pursed her lips, and said gravely:
"According to the original plan, one of the three of us had to give up a kidney.
We would use Kidney Water as bait to lure out the killer hiding nearby.
Even though Ji Li had already told us not to, we were confident in our advantages and decided to take the gamble.
Once we gave up Kidney Water, we had a Healing Sin Item to keep everyone alive, allowing us to fight a second round against the killer.
But now, I seriously doubt those supposed 'advantages'..."
Some plans made beforehand inevitably changed after a few unexpected twists.
Xue Tingtao and Shi Man's reactions were only human.
