The old car was scrapped by the roadside.

Smoke was already rising from under the hood. They could only call for roadside assistance, and it wouldn't be fixed anytime soon.

Come on!

Daley was in a terrible mood. Seeing the couple making out in the car made him even angrier. It hadn't been long, and his annoying sister was practically clinging to the other person.

He had to call for help.

Strangely, there was a signal this time.

Unfortunately, even with a signal, calling the police was useless. Li Dan remembered that the Bat People had killed quite a few police officers.

Trish leaned against Li Dan, still shaken. What had just happened had truly terrified her.

How could a truck driver be so malicious?

Daley suddenly recalled the truck driver rushing after them, seeming afraid of being discovered.

"Hey Li Dan, want to go check out where that truck driver was driving? I suspect he was disposing of a body."

Li Dan was confused. "Disposing of a body?"

Daley leaned against the car window, blocking the sun.

"Yeah, I thought I was mistaken just now, but it seems it was real. I watched him throw a body wrapped in white cloth into it with my own eyes."

Li Dan thought about it and agreed. It was better to follow Daley, this expert in courting disaster, than to search on his own.

The two hit it off immediately.

Daley suggested his sister wait there for rescue while he and Li Dan went to investigate.

Trish immediately cursed upon hearing this.

"You're leaving me here alone? What if that truck driver comes back?"

Daley was speechless, so the three of them set off together.

Along the way, Trish didn't forget to scold Daley for his foolish behavior.

In Li Dan's opinion, his sister was still somewhat intelligent, but her brother was simply too stupid.

The three walked, stopping and starting.

They arrived at the place where they had first seen the truck driver.

It was a black, rusty pipe hidden in the woods by the roadside. Looking down, it seemed bottomless.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

Daley shouted into the pipe. There was no response from inside. He wanted to go in and take a look, but Trish stopped her foolish brother, looking at the bottomless pipe.

Just as the three were about to leave, and Li Dan was about to throw the Soul Severing Clown in to explore, a faint sound came from within the pipe.

This sound made Daley excited. He was sure someone was alive inside and he wanted to go down and save them.

Trish couldn't help but say upon hearing Daley's idea.

"Was your brain hit by a car?"

After speaking, Trish fell silent again. She thought her brother's head might have really been hit by the car. The truck had hit him several times, and Daley's head had also hit the steering wheel.

Daley was stubborn.

"No, I just want to save someone. Maybe that truck driver is a murderer, and we can get a reward."

Trish wanted Li Dan to help persuade him, but Li Dan indicated that his intervention might only have the opposite effect.

Trish said it was okay, and then Li Dan spoke.

This made Daley, who was hesitating, feel his pride challenged. He immediately crawled into the dark pipe and, with a slip, stepped on something and slid all the way to the bottom.

A heavy thud echoed.

Trish: "..."

Who could be blamed for this?

Trish could only anxiously call out to her brother.

Just when she thought her brother might have gone to heaven, a response came from inside.

Daley told them to leave quickly, call for backup, and report to the police, saying he would find a way out himself.

Li Dan wasn't planning to listen to Daley and immediately prepared to go in and see.

Unexpectedly, Trish held him tightly from behind.

Li Dan: "?"

"What are you doing?"

Trish: "Don't go in. Let's listen to Daley and go back to call for backup. If that big truck comes back, I'll be scared alone."

Good timing, Li Dan didn't have to search for the Bat Person anymore. He had to go down even more.

"You find a place to hide first. I have to go down and take a look." Li Dan didn't linger on the soft touch behind him. He broke free from Trish's hand and jumped straight in.

The dark pipe was not only messy but also full of rats.

He walked dozens of steps along the pipe before reaching the bottom.

There was a hidden world at the bottom of the pipe.

It was like an underground granary.

Except this granary was full of people. This Bat Person was quite clever to know how to hide food.

Li Dan estimated there were at least several hundred people, big and small.

So greedy?

Reaching the innermost part, Li Dan found Daley, who was staring blankly. The child was so scared he couldn't snap out of it for a long time.

Li Dan decided to stay with him for a while.

But his luck wasn't good. The Bat Person hadn't blocked the entrance, so he had to take Daley with him to meet up with Trish.

When Trish saw the two return safely, she didn't know how to thank Li Dan.

Others didn't know Li Dan's purpose.

From Trish's perspective, Li Dan had no reason to risk himself for Daley. They had only just met.

The only possibility she could think of was that they had a pleasant time flirting on the way.

So, naturally, she attributed the credit and reason for Li Dan going down to save her brother to herself.

This was a bit narcissistic, but she did have the right to be.

The rescue team arrived not long after.

The three of them followed the rescue team to a restaurant to rest.

Daley's mental state was unstable. He wanted to call the police and tell the travelers in the restaurant that there was a murderer nearby.

But who would believe him?

Just then, a call came into the restaurant.

Li Dan casually picked up the phone. He wasn't afraid of anything as long as it wasn't "The Ring."

After connecting.

The voice on the other end was an old grandmother.

The old grandmother said she knew about their situation and told Li Dan that the place was a cannibal's lair. Li Dan and Daley had both entered its lair, and the cannibal would track them based on their scent...

Li Dan listened to the phone. Trish and Daley clung to Li Dan, hoping to hear the content of the call clearly.

The general idea was that the cannibal would track them by scent.

Daley truly believed it. He had seen hundreds of bodies in the pipe with his own eyes. How could this be fake?

He immediately dialed the police.

The travelers in the restaurant looked at the three of them in surprise.

These three were jumping and startled, looking a bit abnormal.

Trish leaned against Li Dan. She was exhausted from the day's events. She didn't quite believe in cannibals, but Li Dan and her brother both said so, so what reason did she have not to believe them?

Li Dan, on the other hand, relaxed. Since the old grandmother said so, he just had to wait for the Bat Person to come to him.

He glanced at Trish and naturally put his arm around her waist, slipping his hand under her clothes and gently caressing her smooth skin. He dared to be so bold because he had sensed something.

Plus, the waiting time was a bit difficult to endure.

In this terrifying world, one should enjoy themselves and relax their mind in a timely manner.

Trish's body stiffened as she felt the hand sliding on her waist. Slowly, she relaxed and leaned against Li Dan, their understanding unspoken.

This man's background, appearance, courage, and sense of responsibility were all worthy of her reliance.

The sky slowly darkened.

The restaurant was still brightly lit.

It gave a sense of security, the security of being in a crowd.

Soon, the police Daley called also arrived. This sense of security was even stronger.

Only Li Dan knew that this sense of security was meager and illusory. He clearly remembered that a police station had been directly breached by the Bat Person.

The police's sense of security was not valid in the world of cannibals.

Trish had already moved to the inside by this time. Li Dan sat on the outside, blocking others' gazes, and was no longer satisfied with just caressing her waist, but was slowly moving upwards
