Chapter 28: Borrowing Money
Run.
Run for their lives.
Ah Fei and his crew sprinted forward as though every second was a matter of life and death. Their faces, pallid with fear, mirrored the sheer terror mirrored in their eyes. It was as though they had been confronted with something of incomprehensible horror.
Indeed, they had unearthed a nightmarish spectacle.
Something akin to seeing a ghost.
They continued their mad dash until their exhaustion began to take a toll on them, forcing them to hunch over, gasping for breath.
As the memory of their recent encounter echoed in his mind, Ah Fei could feel a trembling sensation coursing through his limbs.
“A-Ah Fei, what in the world just happened?” One of his friends asked, his voice trembling with dread.
“What else could it possibly be? We must’ve run into some sort of evil entity,” Ah Fei retorted, “Later, we should visit the temple and secure a protective amulet. Damn, we really hit a streak of bad luck today. If only we knew, we wouldn’t have ventured through those deserted areas. Not only did we hardly find anyone to rob, but we also bumped into that… thing.”
