Chapter 101: Thriller
Su Ling’s pupils shrank as she witnessed the eerie transformation in Albert’s demeanor. Subconsciously, her grip on the knife handle tightened, to the point her knuckles turned white with the force of her emotion.
It’s a curse.
Mr. Albert, the cursed being slowly advancing towards her with an unnerving hunger in his eyes, a hunger that seemed to override any trace of humanity left in him.
Despite knowing it was a curse, Su Ling didn’t make a move. She harbored a glimmer of hope that even the darkest curse could be lifted, so she could restore him back to his original state. She was well aware that curses often wrought reversible transformations, offering a glimmer of redemption amid the darkness of affliction.
She was also well aware that the enemy was taking advantage of her weakness of being “soft-hearted”.
But weaknesses were not weaknesses for no reason, they would not be so easily overcome.
“I’m so hungry! Let me have a bite!”
As the haunting words tumbled from his bloodied lips, his saliva mixed with blood drooled. His movements were unnatural and inhuman, yet he moved very fast.
In a swift movement, Su Ling drew her knife, afterward, the precise light of the blade cutting through the air with a deadly grace as it struck at Albert’s feet. The sound of flesh meeting steel echoed in the air, followed by a gush of blood that painted the ground.
