Lin Qi could clearly feel the mental haze in his head growing worse. Without waiting for Wang Feng to reply, he slammed another punch into the windshield.
Crash!
The windshield shattered, scattering glass throughout the vehicle.
Lin Qi then backhanded the rearview mirror on the driver's side, smashing it too.
Just as he thought the matter was settled, Wang Feng finally spoke again. "Lin Qi! Did you destroy all the mirrors?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Wang Feng's tone, Lin Qi felt a bad premonition rise in his heart.
"Lin Qi..."
Wang Feng sounded helpless. "We've just discovered another rule. You have to keep watching the woman in the mirror, or he'll get closer and closer to you. We don't know what will happen in the end yet, but it definitely won't be anything good..."
"If you keep watching, all you'll suffer is mental disorientation. You and Xiao Wu can take turns watching, and that won't be a problem."
Lin Qi: ...
"Couldn't you have fucking said that sooner?" Lin Qi was a little frantic as he looked helplessly at the glass shards scattered all over the hood.
Countless women began to split off across the shards. Sure enough, with Lin Qi distracted, they drew closer and closer!
He had already knocked Xiao Wu unconscious, so taking turns was impossible.
Lin Qi took a deep breath. It looked like he wouldn't be able to save his thousand in Ghost Cash after all.
In the reflections covering the hood before him, the women were almost within arm's reach. Every time he shifted his gaze, they moved another step closer.
Lin Qi swept the shards away with his machete. However, the glass fragments he flung aside ultimately gathered on the hood again. There, the women merged into one figure, her head still lowered as rainwater dripped from her body.
With the woman appearing on the hood, Lin Qi was truly out of options. "Buddy, do me a favor..."
Ghost Cash appeared in Lin Qi's hand.
Very soon, he realized something was wrong.
The woman on the hood seemed completely unaffected by his ability. Whenever he glanced at the road, she continued closing in on him at incredible speed!
"What's going on? Is my ability failing because we're not in the same space?"
Lin Qi furrowed his brows. He glanced at the road again, and the woman's figure was almost pressed against the surface of the hood. The next time he looked away, she would poke her head out of it!
"Fuck, you really won't take the easy way."
A vicious gleam flashed in Lin Qi's eyes. Crackling electric arcs had already appeared on the machete in his right hand. After he drank three bottles of Leibi, the arcs had clearly grown stronger again.
Drip, drip.
The rain had long since stopped, yet the distinct dripping now reached his ears clearly.
Lin Qi knew the supernatural entity was about to strike!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The woman still hadn't left the hood, but without warning, her black hair suddenly grew at tremendous speed like a waterfall, sweeping toward Lin Qi like a pitch-black ocean!
The black hair seemed to break through the dimensional barrier. The woman's body remained hidden within the hood, yet her hair pierced out of it in defiance of all reason, surging toward Lin Qi with the thick, fishy stench of seawater!
At the sight, Lin Qi's pupils contracted, though he had been ready to fight.
How was he supposed to fight this?
Even if he hacked away until his blade curled, he wouldn't be able to cut through all that hair!
There was too much of it, easily enough to wrap around the entire vehicle.
Lin Qi didn't hesitate for even a fraction of a second.
Run!
That was the only thought in his mind right now.
Screech!
The piercing squeal of brakes erupted in the night.
Before the vehicle had even come to a complete stop, Lin Qi tumbled out with his machete, rolling onto the rain-soaked ground.
As for Xiao Wu, he had no time to worry about him now.
Another thought even arose in his mind: use Xiao Wu to buy time, giving himself a chance to escape the reach of the woman's black hair!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Unfortunately, the idea was beautiful, but reality was cruel.
There was so much black hair that the woman only split off a portion to drag Xiao Wu away, while another vast mass continued surging toward him like a tide!
"Lin Qi! Get in!"
A startled shout reached his ears.
In the passenger seat of the sedan roaring up from behind, Wang Feng had clearly seen the state of Lin Qi's SUV. Without another word, he opened the door and tried to pull Lin Qi inside.
Because the rain had soaked his clothes, Lin Qi was wearing only loose shorts when he jumped out. His body was now covered in scrapes, and waves of intense pain shot through his bones.
The pain nearly made him pass out.
Even so, he fought to remain conscious and tried to reach for Wang Feng's outstretched hand.
Lin Qi watched Wang Feng reach out to help him.
But the next instant, utter terror suddenly flashed in Wang Feng's eyes. Almost without hesitation, he withdrew his right hand and hurriedly slammed the door shut!
The sedan sped away.
The other vehicles did the same. Seeing Lin Qi was like seeing the most terrifying thing in the world. Not one lingered for even a moment, and the water they splashed up as they sped past drenched him.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
Lin Qi looked bewildered, but he could feel waves of cold coming from behind him.
Gulp.
Lin Qi instinctively turned his head. When he saw what was behind him, he froze for a moment too.
At some point, a red figure had appeared behind him.
A slender frame, a faint floral fragrance-everything felt familiar.
Then he looked up and saw the red bridal veil that remained vivid in his memory!
The Red-Clothed Opera Performer!
Why was she here?
Lin Qi swallowed hard again. With the black-haired woman's threat right before him and the Red-Clothed Opera Performer appearing once more, did today really have to be the anniversary of his death next year?
But soon, he noticed something was off.
The Red-Clothed Opera Performer didn't attack him. She merely watched the long hair filling the air as it closed in.
First, she turned her head, her gaze beneath the veil seeming to lock onto Lin Qi.
Then came that familiar operatic voice.
Only this time, to Lin Qi, it sounded like the most beautiful music in the world...
"Fear not, my beloved, I am here~~"
The Red-Clothed Opera Performer softly sang the line to Lin Qi.
The waterfall of long black hair was already within arm's reach.
The Red-Clothed Opera Performer seemed entirely unafraid. White spirit money began falling around her. Wherever it fell, all the long black hair attempting to approach instantly turned into paper!
The Red-Clothed Opera Performer turned her head again, looking toward the SUV as her low operatic voice began to flow.
"You dare harm the one beside me-when did you ever seek my leave?"
