Chapter 250: We Are Saved

“You two are the most handsome men I have ever seen.”

The woman’s gaze toward Gu Yang actually revealed a look of obsession.

Gu Yang could still manage to maintain his composure.

Death, he did not fear, but it could not be a death like this.

“Were you the one who kidnapped the people who went missing in the city last night? Are they still alive?”

Asking this question made Lu Feng admire him to the point of total submission.

They were already at a life-or-death juncture, yet he was actually still thinking about solving the case?

“What if I am? What if I’m not?” the woman answered ambiguously.

Gu Yang discovered something unusual. This woman was very dangerous, but her state was completely different from the possessed people he had seen before.

Not only was she able to move freely, but she even possessed normal thinking abilities.

Could his judgment be wrong?

However, the fact that he and Lu Feng were both currently immobilized was also a reality.

“I only want to die with some understanding. Who exactly are you?” Gu Yang continued to press.

The woman seemed to have lost her patience and reached her hand out toward him.

Beside him, Lu Feng shed a tear of sympathy for his good friend; the feeling of being touched by this woman just now was truly unbearable and disgusting.

“Help! Someone! There’s a flower-snatching thief trying to commit lustful murder here!”

Lu Feng suddenly began to scream at the top of his lungs.

Right now, the only part of their bodies that could move was their mouths.

Furthermore, this street was not remote; there were not only business shops but also residential houses. It was so quiet outside that as long as he shouted loud enough, he would definitely alert the people around them.

The woman’s movements paused slightly, allowing him to call for help, looking at him as if he were an idiot.

Lu Feng shouted for more than a dozen times, but not a single person emerged from the empty street.

“Lu Feng, stop. It’s useless,” Gu Yang said, his face full of helplessness.

They were already fish on a chopping block.

“How can this be? Can no one hear?” Lu Feng’s last shred of hope shattered.

“Even if you scream until your throat breaks, no one is coming to save you,” the woman said triumphantly.

Gu Yang’s voice was tense as he spoke to Lu Feng, “This street is different from usual. She must have used some kind of method.”

Lu Feng felt as if the sky were falling. He had never been one to care for feudal superstitions, always treating monsters and ghosts as mere stories, but the scenes unfolding before him were refreshing his entire worldview.

“What kind of thing are you, exactly?”

“Have you two finished chatting yet?” Seeing the two of them chatting as if no one else were around, the woman’s expression twisted.

Before her voice even finished falling, she continued what she had started earlier.

Gu Yang wanted to resist, but he had no control over himself.

The moment the woman’s fingers touched his chest, a sudden, intense light blasted her back several meters.

Gu Yang was stunned, Lu Feng was dumbfounded, and even that woman had an expression of disbelief on her face.

However, she adjusted herself quickly and lunged toward Gu Yang again.

This time, her expression became distorted, and her five fingers curled into sharp, lethal weapons, aiming for Gu Yang’s life.

Gu Yang also sensed a massive danger, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not escape the restraint.

Just as he and Lu Feng were falling into despair, the entire street suddenly became bright and open.

Immediately following that, a voice familiar to Gu Yang rang out, “Monster, trying to harm people? Die!”

A piercing light flashed. The two of them didn't even know what had happened, but that ferocious-looking woman had instantly vanished without a trace.

Gu Yang’s pupils contracted violently; no one could immediately accept the fact that a living person could turn into nothingness in a matter of seconds.

Lu Feng’s reaction was even more severe. His face was deathly pale, and he kept swallowing his saliva, forcing himself to endure the discomfort, unable to believe what he had just seen.

As the light dissipated, moonlight poured down, and Kong Nian’s figure appeared in Gu Yang’s line of sight.

Gu Yang had recognized her long ago, but he hadn't expected to meet her again so soon.

After that woman disappeared, the sense of constriction on him and Lu Feng also completely vanished.

Lu Feng gasped for air, his gaze toward Kong Nian even more terrified than his gaze toward the woman just now.

“Gu... Gu Yang, are we doomed?”

Something even more powerful had arrived!

Gu Yang let out a long breath and quickly composed his emotions.

“We are saved.”

Those five words sent thousands of thoughts racing through Lu Feng’s mind, but since Gu Yang said they were saved, then there was no danger.

The relaxation of surviving a disaster made him exaggeratedly wipe the sweat from his forehead.

“Miss Kong, you saved me again just now. Thank you,” Gu Yang took the initiative to thank Kong Nian, his expression returning to normal in just a few short seconds.

Kong Nian did not seem surprised to see him. “It was just a small effort. Are you two alright?”

“We’re fine.” Gu Yang looked at the still-empty street; the previous eerie feeling had vanished, and the road sign that had appeared out of thin air was also gone.

“Gu Yang, do you know this...” For a moment, Lu Feng really didn't know how to address the girl in front of him.

Gu Yang introduced her, “This is Kong Nian, Miss Kong.”

“Hello, Miss Kong. I am Lu Feng, Gu Yang’s colleague and friend.” Lu Feng enthusiastically reached out his hand, filled with curiosity toward Kong Nian.

Kong Nian made no move, merely offering a faint greeting, “Hello.”

Lu Feng’s hand hung awkwardly in mid-air before he retracted it sheepishly.

“Miss Kong, why did that woman suddenly disappear just now? Is she even human? What happened to her?”

The questions Lu Feng asked were the same ones Gu Yang wanted to know.

Although that woman was problematic, she looked completely like an ordinary person on the surface; so Kong Nian’s actions just now were equivalent to... murder.

Kong Nian, however, seemed unconcerned. “None of that is something you need to worry about. The city will not be peaceful for the next few nights. Try to avoid walking around outside as much as possible.”

Gu Yang and Lu Feng looked at each other, their expressions equally complex.

“Alright, then we won't disturb Miss Kong any further.” After Gu Yang spoke, he signaled for Lu Feng to leave.

Lu Feng indeed didn't have much energy left for gossiping.

However, just as the two were preparing to head toward the car, Kong Nian stopped them again.

“Wait a moment. Where do you live? I will escort you back.”

Gu Yang:...

Lu Feng:...

“It cannot be guaranteed that the road is safe right now, and the targets of those things are handsome young men like you. I will protect you for the rest of the journey,” Kong Nian explained very seriously.

Hearing the phrase "handsome young men," Lu Feng felt like he was floating.

Although he also thought himself to be elegant and dashing, this was the first time he had been complimented so directly by a girl.

However, this time he didn't dare to make his own decision and looked toward Gu Yang with questioning eyes.

After all, he didn't want to experience what just happened a second time.

Gu Yang thought about it and agreed, “Then we shall trouble Miss Kong.”
