"What?"
Yue Xiaofei froze.
He followed Han Xiao's gaze and looked out of the ambulance.
Then he noticed it too.
The ambulance was traveling down one of Modu's busiest main roads, yet the scene outside was deathly still.
Not a single car occupied the wide road.
Not a single person stood on the sidewalks.
Only the neon lights on the high-rises kept flashing, casting bizarre colors across the empty asphalt. It was like driving through a ghost city.
"Whee-ooo... whee-ooo..."
The ambulance's siren echoed through the silence, sounding strangely lonely.
What was going on?
While Yue Xiaofei was still trying to make sense of it—
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two dark figures appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the road!
A man and a woman.
The moment they appeared, they blocked the ambulance's path.
The man was enormous, at least two meters tall. He was bare-chested, with muscles knotted beneath bronze skin like carved granite.
A strange totem was tattooed across his chest. It radiated an ancient, sinister aura and seemed to writhe like something alive.
A petite woman sat on his broad shoulders.
She wore a black Gothic dress. Her blond hair, blue eyes, and delicate features made her look like a doll, but her face showed no expression.
A pitch-black raven circled silently above her head.
They had appeared far too suddenly, far too unnaturally!
"Watch out!"
The driver cried out. There was no time to brake!
The ambulance hurtled toward the pair with unstoppable momentum!
A horrific collision seemed inevitable.
But what happened next overturned everything Yue Xiaofei thought he knew.
The bare-chested giant faced the speeding ambulance without the slightest change in expression.
He simply raised one hand, slowly.
It was a huge palm covered in calluses and scars.
The next second—
BOOM!!!
A thunderous crash
