Chapter 36 - The Death God Is Coming

Mu Yi Chu threw out all the clothes in the cabinet. After he was done, he opened all the drawers in the cabinet and found a messy pile of things: a phone stand, a steel wire loop, a fixed device, and a pile of things that even Mu Yi Chu didn't know.

Mu Chu put down the things and continued to rummage through the drawers. After flipping it over, he abruptly turned his head to look at the table. He rushed over to the table and drawers, found nothing, and threw himself on the bed again, frantically lifting up all the quilts and sheets.

"What are you looking for?" Another voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Mu Zi Chu suddenly raised his head from the blanket and looked towards the source of the sound. He shouted out loud before his brain could respond, "Who is it?"

His voice was so hoarse that even Mu Chu himself felt it was terrifying. He had actually just invested so much that he didn't even know the extent of it. But before the conversation could answer, Mu Yichu recognized the man.

It was the woman who had hugged and slept with him last night. An Ningyuan.

"Why are you here?" Mu Yi Chu stared at An Ningyuan, he was obviously surprised, and asked with a cold and terrifying tone. He had no idea how horrible he looked in this dark room full of photos.

"I ? come find someone." Annie seemed to be trying her best to calm her emotions as she replied. Her face didn't reveal the usual smile, but instead an expression of surprise and shock.

"You, why are you here?" An Ningyuan frowned and asked, after that she turned her gaze to the other parts of the room. A few seconds later, Annie's face became as ugly as Mu Yi Chu, she seemed to be on the verge of collapse as she leaned on the wall.

She walked into the room, tore a picture from the wall, and said in an uncertain voice, in English, "Cinderella?"

Mu's mind raced a few times, reacting to the name written on the back of the photo he had seen in her room this morning.

Who is Cinderella? Why did An Ningyuan say this name to Bai Zhongning's photo? Mu Ichu frowned, his mind in chaos. But after An Ningyuan appeared, he seemed to have become much calmer. With one more person, he wouldn't be so afraid.

Mu Chu walked towards An Ningyuan, but An Ningyuan covered his mouth and muttered to himself nonstop, "It's really her, it's her, it's really like this ?"

Mu Yi Chu did not understand what An Ningyuan was saying. He still had a lot of questions to ask this woman. But before he could say anything, the room went dark.

It was pitch black. Even the light from the bulb outside was gone. The room was plunged into darkness. Mu Yi Chu felt an ominous premonition in his heart. The electricity in this building had been cut off.

Mu Chu felt Annie approach him. The two of them were at a loss as to what to do. Suddenly, a strong vibration was followed by a loud sound.

"Ah ? ?" An Ningyuan screamed and almost fell down. Mu Yi Chu subconsciously supported her. An Ningyuan threw herself into Mu Yi Chu's embrace in fear. The two of them tightly held onto the unknown, waiting for the shaking to pass.

However, before this wave of shaking could subside, a stronger wave of shaking came crashing over. This time they felt the whole building shake.

"Let's go!" Mu Yi Chu pulled An Ningyuan.

They couldn't wait like this any longer. They had to leave this place as soon as possible.

However, An Ningyuan was completely terrified and did not have any strength left. She shook her head, her legs so weak that Mu Yi Chu couldn't even stand up.

The shaking got more intense, and he felt that the next wave of impact was about to come.

He couldn't drag it out any longer. Mu Yi Chu released An Ningyuan's hand.

"Come up!" Mu Yi Chu crouched down and pulled An Ningyuan onto his back. After shaking and fixing his posture, Mu Yi Chu rushed out with his back facing An Ningyuan, who was still in the midst of the shaking ripples.

When he came here, he did not realize that this corridor was actually so long. Mu Yi Chu carried An Ningyuan on his back and ran with all his might amidst the thunderous sounds that rolled and surged in from all directions. The sound surrounded them as if it would soon engulf them all. An Ningyuan's chin trembled non-stop as it hit Mu Yi Chu's shoulder. In her hand, she was still holding onto a picture of Bai Zhongning.

Mu Yi Chu's heart was beating rapidly. He felt as if he could not get to the end of the corridor, and behind him came the sound of buildings collapsing and shaking.

It was getting stronger and stronger. It was as if death itself was chasing them, brandishing its terrifying scythe. Mu Yi Chu's heart was filled with a strong sense of fear that he would die here today. He felt that his steps were getting heavier and heavier.

How about he just put An Ningyuan down? If he didn't carry someone on his back, then he could completely escape this place. Mu Yi Chu's hand that was carrying An Ningyuan, gradually lost its strength

At the staircase. It was the staircase. Finally, they arrived at the staircase.

Mu Yi Chu seemed to see hope for life. He gathered all his strength and lifted An Ningyuan who was on the verge of falling from his back with a heavy weight. After slightly stabilizing her breath and footsteps, she didn't dare to stay any longer and ran down the stairs.

Mu Chu was glad that this was only the second floor.

The moment Mu Yichu stepped out of the building, a cloud of dust entered Mu Yichu's nose and mouth. With his sudden cough, the strength in his hands was immediately reduced, and An Ningyuan immediately slipped down from Mu Yichu's back. The two of them were covered in dust and could barely see what was in front of them. Mu Yi Chu used his hand to cover his nose and mouth, fumbled with An Ningyuan's hand, and rushed out using his memories.

There was no room for mistakes or delays at this time, but both of them were tripped over the yellow tape that had been blocking the building's surroundings from the start and fell to the ground. The two of them rolled on the ground in pain, not daring to stay even a little bit longer as they fled.

When Mu Yichu was about a hundred meters away from the danger zone while dragging An Ningyuan, he heard a voice that was not as loud as the ones before. Following which, the two of them stopped in the midst of an intense shock wave and thick dust that came from behind them. The sense of relief that they had narrowly escaped death seemed to have drained them of all their energy.

The two of them were covered in dust and they could not even open their eyes. They supported each other as they staggered out of the dark alley. When they saw the bustling lights of the city's main streets, the two of them completely relaxed. Leaning against the solid wall, they ignored their image and sat on the ground, breathing rapidly and unable to calm down for a long time.

Mu Yi Chu had only rested for a short while before his heart tensed up again. Beside her, An Ningyuan didn't seem to be right, her entire body was shaking uncontrollably. Mu Yi Chu grabbed onto An Ningyuan's hand in an attempt to calm her down, but realized that An Ningyuan's hand was frighteningly cold.

"Water ?" An Ningyuan said lifelessly.

An Ningyuan's miserable appearance at the brink of death caused Mu Yi Chu to panic. He wiped his face that was covered in dust, mixed with the sweat that had not dried and made a few traces of mud on his face.

"Water, is it? Alright, I'll go find it for you right away!" Mu Yi Chu comforted An Ningyuan as he looked around for places to sell water. In the distance, he saw a turquoise and blue door in front of him. It looked like a 24-hour convenience store. With both hands on his thighs, Mu Chu struggled to get up and used the little strength he had just recovered to run over.

The young man was in the middle of adding some ingredients to the stew when he heard the sound of an automatic door opening. Without even looking up, he said in a clear voice, "Welcome to our family."

Mu Yi Chu took a bottle of mineral water from the nearest shelf and placed it on the cashier, panting. "How much?"

The little brother's smile froze on his face when he saw Mu Yi Chu's appearance. He didn't know how to respond. None of the construction workers had ever been so soiled with gray tape.

"Hurry, I'm in a hurry." Mu Yi Chu scolded.

The young man immediately reacted in panic, glancing at the bottle of mineral water and said, "Hello, it's a total of 4 yuan."

Mu Yi Chu paid the bill and rushed out with the bottle of mineral water.

This left behind a stupefied cashier and a floor of ashes in the supermarket.

Mu Ichu unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and handed it over to An Ningyuan, who took out a small white jar from her own pocket excitedly. She eagerly poured all the pills into her mouth and gulped it down along with the bottle of mineral water.

Mu Yi Chu looked at An Ningyuan in a daze.

Is An Ningyuan sick?

Mu Yi Chu thought about that crazy woman who told him, "I have AIDS." Mu Yi Chu's entire body tensed up.

An Ningyuan closed his eyes and took about 10 minutes to calm down. She opened her eyes and saw that Mu Yichu was still staring at her. She pointed at her heart and said, "I have a congenital heart disease."

It was a heart attack. Mu Yi Chu's worried heart was finally at ease. Yes. He had a shadow in his heart. Ever since his ordeal in that apartment with the madwomen, he had been particularly sensitive to diseases and drugs.

And then, he realized how dangerous the situation had been.

If he really threw An Ningyuan away at the moment that he had evil thoughts running all over, if An Ningyuan's heart was even more weak. Mu Yi Chu's face instantly turned white. This was different from the way Bai Zhongning jumped down from the second floor, as if she had really become a murderer. Mu Yi Chu clenched his hands.

After consuming the medicine, An Ningyuan gradually calmed down, and said weakly: "Thank you."

Mu Yi Chu did not make a sound, and silently extended his hand to help An Ningyuan up. Seeing that an empty car had arrived, Mu Yi Chu hastily waved his hand to stop the taxi.

The two of them got on the car embarrassedly. As expected, the moment they got on the car, they saw the taxi driver who looked disgusted and was about to drive them off.

"Sorry, sorry, let me tip you a little more." Mu Yi Chu said, rubbing his nose, somewhat embarrassed.

The driver grunted in agreement. Once again, Mu Yi Chu sighed with emotion about how good money was.
