Chapter 249: Life or Shamelessness

The woman got into the car. Seeing that Gu Yang was still standing in place, Lu Feng couldn't help but urge him, "Hurry up and get in."

Gu Yang, however, walked up to his side and whispered, "Don't you think there's something wrong with this woman?"

Lu Feng froze instantly, then his face fell into a look of misery.

"I didn't think so. Did you discover something?"

He truly hadn't thought that much, but he also knew his best friend would never blurt out such a sentence without reason.

Gu Yang could only remind him, "There isn't a single person on the street right now, yet she just happens to appear. Eight people went missing in the city just last night."

"Didn't she say it was to buy medicine for her mother? Besides, I saw that she was all alone. We're two grown men; what could she possibly do to us?" Lu Feng offered his own analysis.

Even if this woman really had ulterior motives, it shouldn't be impossible for the two of them to handle her, right?

Gu Yang looked toward the car; the woman was also looking at them.

"I hope you're right."

What Gu Yang suspected now was not merely that the woman was a bad person.

If things were truly like they were last night, she might not even be human.

Lu Feng's nerves also tightened. Once the two of them were in the car, he immediately began sizing the woman up through the rearview mirror.

He looked left, looked right, looked from side to side, but couldn't see anything unusual.

"Where do you live?" Gu Yang restarted the car.

The woman timidly spoke out an address.

The address sounded fine, and Gu Yang knew the way, so the car began to drive quickly.

The road was unobstructed all the way; as expected, they didn't encounter anyone.

Neither Gu Yang nor Lu Feng spoke, maintaining constant vigilance and caution toward the woman.

When they were only one street away from the destination, the woman called for them to stop.

A few seconds later, the car came to a steady halt.

Gu Yang looked out the window. This place seemed a bit different from usual.

Although the capital was huge, he had been working here for quite some time and had walked through streets of all sizes.

Where they had stopped now, there was a solitary road sign directly ahead, but in his memory, there had never been a road sign on this road.

It was pitch black outside; they could only see the road by the light of the moon.

Lu Feng was just about to get out to open the door for the woman when Gu Yang pressed him back into his seat.

Gu Yang didn't speak, merely using his eyes to signal him not to move.

Lu Feng's breath hitched, and he immediately complied.

Gu Yang turned to look at the woman. "You can just get out yourself."

Since the woman had called for the stop herself, it meant there was no problem with the car stopping here.

Lu Feng held his breath, waiting for the woman's reaction.

The woman, who had originally been constrained and uneasy, suddenly smiled at the two of them.

Her smile was so wide that it gave off an extremely eerie feeling.

Before Lu Feng's brain could even react, a layer of goosebumps had already erupted all over his body.

Before the woman could make her next move, Gu Yang had already swiftly pulled open the car door and gave him a forceful shove.

"Get out, quick!"

Before his voice had even finished falling, Gu Yang was already outside the car.

Fortunately, Lu Feng had prepared himself mentally; although he was a bit slower, he managed to get out of the car successfully.

"Gu Yang, what's going on?!"

The two of them ran over a dozen meters in one breath. Lu Feng grabbed Gu Yang and asked, panting heavily.

Even if that woman really was problematic, it shouldn't have scared two grown men into a frantic retreat, right?

"Don't ask, just run!" Gu Yang didn't want to waste even a single second.

Judging by the woman's appearance just now, he was almost one hundred percent certain she was no longer a normal human.

In the face of such a thing, he and Lu Feng were basically nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.

Lu Feng truly couldn't understand, but he didn't need to wait to understand, because the woman they had left in the car had suddenly appeared directly in front of them.

"Holy crap! What is this situation?"

Lu Feng was indeed terrified and cursed directly.

Did this person fly over here?

Gu Yang's expression was extremely grim. "Lu Feng, you must listen carefully to what I say next. This woman might not be human. I'll be responsible for holding her back; you drive away immediately."

Lu Feng froze in place, his head buzzing.

He was indeed listening carefully, but now his two legs refused to obey him.

"Now is... now is the time for this? You still have the mind to drive? Are you joking?"

His tongue felt uncontrollably long.

Furthermore, he discovered with horror that it wasn't that he didn't want to move, nor was he just paralyzed by fear; it was as if his two legs were truly pinned to the spot by an external force, unable to move an inch.

Gu Yang also noticed the abnormality; he hadn't expected that they still wouldn't escape.

Lu Feng's heart was filled with regret; if he had known, he really shouldn't have meddled in other people's business.

"Gu Yang, what do you mean by saying she's not human?"

"It means exactly what it says, or that she's being controlled by something."

Now, both of them were unable to move.

Lu Feng's mouth kept twitching. "I'll be damned... how the hell am I supposed to understand that?"

"You have to understand even if you can't." As Gu Yang spoke, he scanned the surroundings, searching for an opportunity to escape.

A smile that looked worse than crying squeezed onto Lu Feng's face. "Are we brothers going to the underworld together this time?"

Gu Yang did not answer; those words sounded somewhat familiar to him.

"You two are facing death, yet you still have the mood to chat?" The woman walked slowly toward them.

An eerie, sinister aura radiated from her entire body.

Lu Feng felt that he must have been blind before to think this woman was pitiable.

"Sister, can't we talk this out properly? We were just trying to help; isn't this just the 'Farmer and the Snake'?"

He squeezed these words out through gritted teeth, using all his strength to try and break free from the invisible restraint.

The woman laughed sinisterly. Her slender fingers lightly grazed Lu Feng's face, and she actually revealed an expression of enjoyment.

Lu Feng's hair stood on end; he was truly terrified.

If it weren't for what Gu Yang had just said, he would have absolutely mistaken this woman for a predatory thief, but now his mind was filled with the imagery written in storybooks—demons and monsters harvesting yang to supplement yin.

"You, you, what are you doing? I'm telling you, I've had dozens, if not hundreds, of women around me. I sing and dance with them every night; my body is already a complete mess of weakness."

*Uh.*

Gu Yang's forehead was covered in black lines.

This guy was choosing death over dignity.

Lu Feng was just talking nonsense; even he didn't know what he was saying, but unexpectedly, this gibberish seemed to work, as the woman actually shifted her attention to Gu Yang.

The moment she approached Gu Yang, Gu Yang wished he could kick Lu Feng to death.

Lu Feng gave him a look of infinite sympathy.

However, the two of them were currently grasshoppers on the same string; neither could escape.
