A nice winter vacation ended up turning into this kind of hard work. As Ke Bu followed the mountain path, he had the urge to kill. The air in the remote mountains at night was quite chilly. The sound of the gentle wind blowing carried along with it the howls of the wild animals. Ke Bu gasped and weakly tugged on to the lower hem of Zhi Li’s jacket as they climbed up the mountain.

“Let’s go back. It’s scary out here.” Zhou Xinhe feebly said.

“We‘ve already climbed up till here and to give up now would be a pity. Let’s go till the end.”

Finally, the villa loomed out of the dim light of the night, emitting a strange glow through the moonlight. This was an age-old villa. The vines covered the walls with a twisted shape and the iron gate made a creaking sound.

“I…I seemed to have stepped on something.” Gong Zhu’s voice pierced through the silence of the night.

Chu Haoyu gripped the flashlight and illuminated it toward Gong Zhu’s foot. To his surprise, it was a clear white bone?!! Zhou Xinhe gave out a piercing scream and even Ke Bu started to think that this might have been a bad idea. All of this happened after Zhang Luo, that crow’s beak [1], told that story about the murder case. To actually encounter such a thing really surpassed reality. When everyone hesitated and did not want to press forward, the sound of high heels suddenly reverberated within the empty villa. With every ‘click-clack’ sounds made by those high heels, Ke Bu’s heart raced faster: “Don’t mess with me. It’s Su Youyan. Where’s Su Youyan?”

([1] A person who has made an inauspicious remark.)

“I’m here.” Su Youyan’s voice suddenly came from behind Ke Bu.

“Then who’s inside the villa?” Ke Bu finally laid down his pride as a man and instinctively embraced Zhi Li’s arm. The sound of the high heels came from the depths of the villa, and as if breaking away the darkness, a faint light appeared. After some time, the footsteps stopped, and Ke Bu’s eyes widened incredulously right before the scene. Through the moonlight, the figure of a beautiful and charming woman stood there, and her close-fitting black dress made her curvaceous body sexier. The black muslin on her hat covered her face, revealing only her beautiful red lips. She stood there, like a demon who ascended from hell, as she waited in the villa. Even as she was standing from afar, Ke Bu could feel her imposing manner consume him. The group stood still and was unable to move. Zhou Xinhe was about to faint, and Zhang Luo quickly switched on the video camera, not intending to miss this scene. Ke Bu stealthily looked at Zhi Li, and even at a time like this, he was too calm and collected. Lo and behold, the legendary figure herself had emerged—the witch of Yinguo Town!!

Ying Xiujie reacted first. He picked up a stone on the ground and tentatively threw it. It broke a window and a howling sound echoed within the villa, then there was an imp’s garrulous voice. The stone was thrown back again, straight toward Ke Bu’s, but it was too late for Ke Bu to dodge it. Fortunately, Zhi Li caught the small stone and looked at Ke Bu: “Are you alright?”

Ke Bu nodded, and while doing so, the woman started to talk. Her pleasant voice penetrated through the air like the sounds of nature as it came over: “It’s unmistakably good. Fresh meat.” After saying that, the woman licked her lower lip. Her bright red lips formed into a shape that could confuse and poison people’s minds. If this happened during normal times, Ke Bu would only feel that someone was just fooling them, but this was different. He could feel his legs were quivering. This woman was definitely not an ordinary person.
