Sending Off the Yin (13)

Before Zhao Ruru could figure out how it all connected, a commotion broke out on the other side.

Cat Infant had become a corpse. Even motionless, its deformed body still cast a terrifying shadow.

The escorts controlled by Cat Infant had collapsed, just like the family in white. Their heads were slightly caved in, as though some of their flesh and blood had been sucked away. "Fifth Brother," who had been stabbed through the chest, lay on the ground, breathing in short, frightened gasps. He was clearly breathing his last.

That sight was what finally set off the three surviving escorts.

"What the hell is this place? I'm done! I'm done!"

"Stop Fifth Brother's bleeding—"

"What's the point? He's done for! He's done for!"

As their arguing went on, it looked as though the situation was about to spiral out of control.

An escort with a scar at the corner of his eye pounded his head and said bitterly, "Damn it, when have we ever run into such freaky shit on an escort run? Could it really be like Head Escort said, that our escort captain's a jinx—"

Smack!

A riding crop whistled through the air and struck him across the mouth. He let out a shriek of pain so sharp it made him convulse.

Yu Xing glared at him and demanded, "I'm a what? Say that again."

He'd only received a tiny bit of his character's background, but he could tell that the so-called jinx had to be him.

What, did this character have some kind of bad-luck setting?

Or was Head Escort spreading false rumors around the agency because he hated Yu Xing, hoping to affect his mood?

Whether it was true or not, Yu Xing wasn't about to let anyone pin the blame for these supernatural horrors
