"Where is he?!"
Luo Mo, who was following beside Vardani, went pale with shock.
The short man had only been four or five meters away from them. How had he vanished after they turned around for just a few seconds?
What was going on?
"Forget about him. Let's go first."
The unease in Vardani's heart grew even stronger.
That unease came not only from her teammate's inexplicable disappearance, but also from the changes she sensed taking place around them.
She could not explain where those changes were coming from.
But her intuition told her—
If they did not leave now—
They would likely be trapped here!
Luo Mo naturally had no objections and immediately followed Vardani as she ran toward the street exit.
But just then—
He saw the entrance of a bakery by the roadside.
At some point—
Someone had appeared there.
"Huh?"
"Boss, it's you..."
He recognized at first glance that this person was the stall owner they had encountered at the Black Market last night.
He was also the man who had sold him the protective talisman.
Instinctively—
Luo Mo was about to greet him.
But at the second glance, he forcibly swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth.
Because...
This boss, who had been so lively last night—
Was clearly not right.
His entire body was stiff and blackened, with many places already rotting away. A faint corpse stench drifted from him and entered Luo Mo's nostrils.
There was not the slightest trace of a living person's aura about him.
He was clearly a corpse placed outside the bakery!
But...
If one said he was a corpse—
His bleeding eyes could still move slightly as they turned toward Luo Mo.
"Good god." Luo Mo shuddered violently.
"Don't look."
"Don't engage."
Vardani spoke in
