The moment he finished speaking.
He Manhe vanished.
This time, she had truly disappeared in the physical sense.
Even though Fang Qingyu had actually already clamped a hand around her neck, he had only grabbed a mass of air.
The other side of the banquet hall.
"Did someone outside block the door?"
"Probably some kidnapping gang has their eyes on someone here."
"Whose phone has a signal? Even if we can't get out, we can't just sit here doing nothing. Someone should call for help."
"Does anyone have a flashlight!?"
The scene was a clamor. Aside from the initial chaos, everyone gradually calmed down under the guidance of the others. After all, for now, it was only a power outage, with the doors locked shut.
At least, no strange phenomena had appeared.
"Something's wrong."
The group that had been with Qi Hao at the beginning stood grim-faced in front of the door.
It would have been understandable if ordinary people couldn't push it open.
With the strength of quasi-superhumans like them, they could slowly smash through even an iron door.
Yet this door before them.
They couldn't leave the slightest mark on it, much less open it.
"Let's calm everyone down first. Since we're here, if anything happens to the ordinary people, we won't be able to escape responsibility afterward."
One of the believers made the suggestion.
"Sure. Brother Ma, why don't you take the lead?"
In the darkness, someone took out a lighter and handed it to Ma Zhe beside him.
Ma Zhe was the organizer of this banquet.
He was also a Martial Arts Apprentice who had entered the Elite Class.
He accepted it instinctively.
"Uh, all right."
"Click—"
With a twist of his finger, he lit the lighter.
A ball of light appeared in the pitch-black hall.
