Chapter 1200: Chapter 1200: Suffer the Consequences

The street was eerily quiet, not a single person in sight.

I felt a strange sensation all over, as if something was amiss.

Yu Longting walked straight ahead, seemingly unfazed by the eerie calmness.

Just as I was about to discuss the situation with him, the red spider silk on the street corner revealed the answer.

Beside the mailbox was a human-shaped red cocoon, and to find out what was inside,

I glanced at Yu Longting, who understood and crouched down with me.

The two of us were so in tune that we recited a passage from the Azarhan Sutra without needing to exchange words.

The cocoon by the mailbox wasn’t like the ones at home, which seemed deliberately intimidating, as it was wrapped very heavily.

This cocoon was wrapped quite lightly, and with the combined strength of Yu Longting and me,

By the third verse, the spider silk was completely cleared away.

Lying on the ground was a drunk man clutching a wine bottle, reeking of alcohol.

More horrifyingly, he had been dead for quite some time.

"Could this be... the passerby who got drunk last night?" I realized when I saw the only man lying on the entire street, "Meishan Mountain Witchcraft was cast in the middle of the night last night, so only a few passersby on the street got entangled, most of them..."

Most of the affected people are at home!!

So, it’s not just my place where things have gone wrong; the whole town might have been affected.

Realizing this, I was utterly horrified.

Yu Longting seemed to have already considered this possibility; there wasn’t a trace of surprise on his face.

Grabbing my wrist, he took a Mysterious Step forward, "Let’s go."

With one step, he reached the vicinity of Chen’s Restaurant, then climbed through a window into the house next door.

Although this house wasn’t covered with spider silk like my place,

Anything with a breath of life inside was tightly wrapped in red silk, their life force drained away.

I used to think demon creatures were terrifying, turning the sky and earth upside down,

capable of turning the human world into a bloody scene overnight.

At this very moment, here, I held two small infants wrapped in red silk from the small bed and suddenly truly understood what a demon was.

Demons have no place in the world, lawless and without natural enemies.

Even Dragon Dad and Zhao Sihai couldn’t eradicate them; only by Qing Li sacrificing herself could there be peace for so many years.

She paid such a high price, yet demon creatures still exist in the world.

"Let’s go." Just as I turned my head, I caught sight of two people downstairs from the window.

To my surprise, there were two living people down there!!

And they looked somewhat familiar.

Before I could rejoice, I recognized the two individuals.

They were actually Su Xiaomin and my Second Aunt, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time.

Su Xiaomin, who used to be as skinny as a stick, had suddenly become as plump as a risen bun, easily weighing two hundred pounds.

If not for my deep dislike for him, I wouldn’t have failed to recognize him at a glance.

Yu Longting squinted his eyes, "What are they doing here?"

"Maybe it’s related to these spider silks," I said deliberately, enunciating each word.

Yu Longting scoffed, "These two mere mortals?"

"I know they’re too ordinary to become demon creatures," I said, my eyes flickering while I held the two infants tighter in my arms. "But seeing them here, something just feels off."

"You take these two children back, and I’ll follow them," Yu Longting said, as black blood began to flow from his eyes.

I immediately realized that he was using the eyes of some dead snake.

The eyes had gone bad from use, and I wasn’t keen to discuss it further with him. I dragged him away in the opposite direction, "Follow them for what? You need to change your eyes now, or I’m afraid the corpse poison from the snake eyes will get into your bloodstream, and you’ll suffer the consequences."
