Chapter 10.

Wang Wenlong: We really have a great understanding.

The sudden turn of events caught Ji Meng off guard until the red shadow rushed close.

She didn't catch what Cen Sheng shouted, thinking he had an accomplice hidden in the bedroom, ready to ambush them.

"Dare to touch Jiejie, and I'll stab you to death..."

Seeing the red shadow clearly, Ji Meng froze on the spot. Like the first time she and Cen Sheng saw Wang Wenlong, her mind went blank with fear, and the dagger hidden behind her clattered to the ground.

She opened her mouth, almost screaming aloud.

Wang Wenlong originally targeted Xiao Jiejie, but the sound of the dagger falling attracted his attention. He turned his head and saw a girl standing petrified beside the sofa.

He hadn't eaten human flesh in a long time and opened his mouth, eager to bite Ji Meng.

Cen Sheng, secretly turning the doorknob, cursed inwardly. He slightly loosened his grip on Xiao Jiejie's hand and slipped two things into it.

"Quick, bite my arm!"

He spoke softly, fearing the ghost might hear. Xiao Jiejie, terrified by the bloody Wang Wenlong, was too shocked to react.

Seeing this, Cen Sheng grabbed Xiao Jiejie and slammed her against the shoe cabinet beside the door, covering his own arm, "How dare you bite me! Brother! Brother, come quick, she's trying to kill me, I can't hold her anymore!"

While shouting, he picked up a high-heeled shoe from the cabinet and hurled it at the back of Wang Wenlong's head.

Cen Sheng, seemingly frail, was actually adept at fighting. Over the past five years, he had been the main force in capturing suspects at the detective agency, even more capable than Rong Ye.

The high-heeled shoe hit Wang Wenlong with precision and force, causing the monster about to bite off Ji Meng's head to roar in anger.

When he turned around in anger, he saw Cen Sheng covering his wrist with a pale face, Xiao Jiejie had freed herself, a high heel discarded at her feet, and a dagger now mysteriously in her hand.

Wang Wenlong was indifferent to Cen Sheng's fate; he planned to swiftly devour the slim Ji Meng to satiate his hunger, then slowly torture and tear apart Xiao Jiejie, who dared throw a shoe at him.

Cen Sheng, keenly observing his reaction, immediately grabbed Xiao Jiejie's wrist, pretending to be held hostage by her.

"Brother, save me quickly! Without me, nobody can help you leave Yinhe Community!!!"

Just as Cen Sheng anticipated, his words hit Wang Wenlong's weak spot.

Wang Wenlong spun around, growling menacingly at Xiao Jiejie. His throat, slit by someone, leaked air as he roared.

Xiao Jiejie, startled and dazed by Cen Sheng's grip, finally snapped back to reality.

Her intelligence was not in question; though unaware of Cen Sheng's exact plan, she immediately cooperated, screaming, "Get out, you monster! Move again and I'll kill him! Let’s see if you eat people faster or if I stab him to death quicker!"

The sharp tip of the knife pressed against his neck, turning Cen Sheng’s face even paler.

He seemed utterly terrified, his voice quivering, "I promise, as soon as dawn breaks, I'll lead you out of Yinhe Community and find more people for you to eat! I know the director of a mental hospital; there are many patients there, abandoned for years. I have connections, I can make it happen! You can eat all those patients!"

"Save me, Brother Long, save me! I don’t want to die!"

Cen Sheng's performance was too convincing, his tone and demeanor perfectly embodying a despicable coward. Even his originally gentle and handsome face now seemed repulsive.

If it weren't for the dagger Xiao Jiejie held, which Cen Sheng had forced into her hand, she might have believed she was truly holding Cen Sheng hostage.

Everyone, except Xiao Jiejie, was completely deceived.

The three women hiding in the bedroom, peering out, clung to each other in tension. Ji Meng, looking at Xiao Jiejie, had eyes filled with gratitude.

Wang Wenlong didn't care about Cen Sheng's life or death, but he desired to leave Yinhe Community and to feast on the mental patients.

He spun his crimson eyes and signaled Shen.

The physically weak but mentally agile tool-person instantly understood his hint and excitedly blinked at him.

After confirming the signal, Wang Wenlong chuckled, his already mutilated body suddenly splattering a massive amount of blood. Jimeng, closest to him, along with the sofa and coffee table, was drenched in red.

Flesh flew and blood splattered everywhere.

A scene like from a restricted gore movie emerged in reality, an overwhelming visual shock that exceeded Xiaojie’s psychological tolerance.

Her brain buzzed, and she collapsed uncontrollably. Shen seized the opportunity to free himself from her hold, snatching the dagger from her hand.

“Long ge (Brother Long)!”

They coordinated seamlessly; as soon as he escaped danger, Wang Wenlong quickly charged over

Their eyes met, and seeing the surprise in the long-haired man's eyes, Wang Wenlong suddenly felt that collaborating with him wasn't such a bad idea.

In the future, when he feasted on human flesh, he could share the blood with Shen, who seemed in dire need of it for survival.

Shen probably desperately needed human blood to cling to life.

Shen grabbed Xiaojie's shoulders, pushing her forward as if serving her up to his brother.

Her position changed by Shen, Xiaojie was now clear of the obstruction from the shoe cabinet, a detail unnoticed by anyone but herself.

Wang Wenlong pounced forward, his mouth gaping wide. Before he could reach Xiaojie, Shen suddenly pushed her, causing her to roll into the living room and dodge the fatal strike.

Clutching the small note Shen had given her, Xiaojie's mind was filled with the words he had just whispered in her ear.

"The plan is on the paper, don't worry about me, run. No matter what you hear outside the door, don't open it!"

Xiaojie crawled frantically forward until she found temporary safety behind the coffee table.

Jimeng initially moved to help her, but froze midway, seemingly startled by something.

Xiaojie stretched her neck to look toward the door.

The security door had somehow opened. Shen, clutching the blood-soaked ghost, had tumbled out of room 404 together.

The male ghost, terrified of the dark corridor, ignored his vengeance against Shen and crawled silently back, desperate to return to the room.

Shen held on to him tightly from behind, "Jimeng! Close the door!"

His shout was loud, prompting Xiaojie to instinctively want to warn him against making noise in the hallway, which could attract monsters.

Jimeng rushed to the door, trying to pull Shen back inside.

Faint thudding sounds came from downstairs. The ghosts in the corridor, having heard Cen Sheng's shout, were running up the stairs.

"Thud—thud—"

"Thud—thud—"

The sounds grew faster and louder. Wang Wenlong struggled frantically, desperate to return to room 404. Ji Meng, trembling with fear, still reached out to grasp Cen Sheng's arm.

As the thudding reached the third floor, Cen Sheng looked at Ji Meng's hand and shook his head at her with a smile.

The next second, he kicked the security door.

The room door slammed shut, and Ji Meng's outstretched hand touched only the cold metal door.

"Thud thud thud!"

"Thud!"

With Wang Wenlong's terrified scream, the monster in the corridor charged up to the fourth floor.
