Chapter 965 - 957: Will Not Rest in Peace
As they walked through, quite a few people cast curious glances at the two of them. Xiao Yifei pretended not to notice, but he was scared to death inside. He had watched some American TV series about prisons, where people fight without any reason. If they don’t like the look of you, they just come up and start a fight.
Xiao Yifei was terrified that such a thing would happen to him, it would be too unfair. He hadn’t even found Liu Rui yet, and he might end up dying here for no reason, with no one to even collect his body. His life would be too tragic that way, Xiao Yifei thought.
More importantly, the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle that he had been thinking about — he was about to see it soon. If he got beaten to death before that, he would die with regrets.
The little boy seemed to have nothing to be afraid of, so Xiao Yifei asked him in a whisper, "Are you afraid that these people might hit you?"
"Of course not, they won’t just hit anyone. As long as you don’t look at them, there won’t be any issues," the little boy replied with insightful experience.
After walking for over three hours, Xiao Yifei and his companion finally arrived at the East District. There were no obvious signs marking the area, but upon entering, Xiao Yifei could clearly sense something different, like a chilling atmosphere. It was two o’clock in the afternoon, the sun at its fullest, yet Xiao Yifei felt a cold sweat trickle down his back.
The street was empty, yet Xiao Yifei felt something strange. He glanced at the little boy and noticed he seemed a bit nervous too, so he gently patted his shoulder and signaled him with a look to stay calm.
The two of them continued walking ahead, and as they turned a street corner, they were suddenly confronted by a group of more than ten people forming a circle. Xiao Yifei wanted to pull the little boy aside to hide, but it was too late; those people had already spotted them. A voice shouted from that side, "Who’s there? Come out!"
Xiao Yifei and the little boy had no choice but to come out. It was then that Xiao Yifei realized the person in the middle of the circle was Liu Rui. Suddenly, he was no longer afraid, just surprised at how quickly the joy came. He had thought he might find Liu Rui in this place but hadn’t expected it to be in this manner.
Liu Rui also saw Xiao Yifei.
