Chapter 220 - 221: Murderer
[They found the murderer while looking for the body!]
[He said something about a meat grinder, holy crap!]
[Grinding the body into mush? I’m gonna be sick...]
Su Nian lifted her head slightly, her delicate features reflecting an icy chill.
Hidden by the tall reeds, she peeked out to get a look at the man’s face.
The man had extremely high cheekbones, which made his cheeks appear sunken. His eyebrows were faint and sparse, and his mouth was large and flat, with corners that drooped downward.
His eyes held a vicious glint, a sign of his extreme instability. The droop at the corners of his mouth, however, indicated immense self-confidence.
Coupled with the blood-red aura coiling around his forehead, Su Nian was certain: this was the man who had murdered Bai Youyou!
Most importantly, he hadn’t just killed these two girls.
"That’s him! That’s him!"
Bai Youyou was so agitated her eyes glowed red. The resentment that Su Nian had worked so hard to suppress was about to awaken.
"Master, he’s the one who killed me! It’s him!"
In her fury, Bai Youyou—a mere spirit—actually managed to stir up a ghostly wind.
"Who’s there!?"
The man whipped his head around, instantly grabbing the shovel at his side and starting toward them.
"Don’t move! I see you! Come on out. I won’t kill you!"
The man lowered his voice, his tone turning deceptively gentle.
[Like hell anyone believes you!]
[Just hearing his voice gives me the creeps for no reason. Is this what a murderer’s presence feels like? So scary!]
[Seriously, the moment he spoke, all the hairs on my arm stood up. I’ve seen ghosts on the streamer’s channel before, but none of them were this terrifying!]
When no one responded, the man began to walk over, his steps tentative as he advanced inch by inch.
He parted the reeds with his shovel, his eyes staring sharply into the thicket.
Perhaps because he’d killed so many people, his bloodlust flared. A part of him even secretly hoped there was someone there for him to kill.
’He’d never tried killing someone with a shovel before...’
Su Nian sensed this surge of bloodlust. Normally, she wouldn’t act rashly, but with this man... today might be an exception.
The man drew closer and closer, but still heard nothing. Any further and he’d be at the riverbank.
’Could it have been a small animal?’
’Never mind. I need to focus on the task at hand.’
Upon seeing the river’s edge, the man turned and quickly walked back.
His malice receded, and he picked up his iron shovel to continue digging up the corpse.
Su Nian watched with cold eyes. Even from that brief glance, she could already tell how utterly vicious this man was.
He was a man of profound evil. For someone like him to run into Su Nian today could only be described as fate.
Bai Youyou was growing impatient. Her eyes glowed red again, and she couldn’t understand what Su Nian was waiting for.
But Su Nian’s attention was on the other girl, the one who had died so tragically on the ground. Her resentment was no weaker than Bai Youyou’s—in fact, it was even fiercer. However, Evil Ghosts are intimidated by truly evil men, and since she had only just died, her resentment was suppressed.
Su Nian’s fingers twitched, and a yellow talisman covered in strange runes burst into flame.
Carried by a faint breeze, the talisman’s ashes drifted bit by bit into the dead girl’s nostrils.
But at that very moment, Bai Youyou could no longer contain her burning rage for revenge.
Brimming with resentment, her eyes glowed a furious red. A wind suddenly rose around Su Nian, stirring the dead reeds.
The man, ever alert, heard the sound. His ears twitched, and he once again grabbed his shovel and stalked toward them.
That was the second time he’d heard a noise from that spot. It couldn’t be a coincidence!
’Is there really someone hiding in these reeds!?’
’Whoever it is, they’re dead today!’
His eyes held a vicious glint as he unconsciously quickened his pace.
Su Nian stood her ground, unmoving. She could feel the aura of the other spirit’s resentment beginning to awaken.
The man didn’t know that at the exact moment he turned, the girl on the ground—her face caked with mud—suddenly opened her eyes and slowly turned her gaze toward him.
