Chapter 534: Hiring Security Guards
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The leader lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Soon, he gave a choice. “I choose to be a security guard.”
The reason why they chose this was only a temporary compromise. They could not defeat the woman in front of them, so they agreed because they wanted to find a chance to leave.
As for these promises, they were just empty words.
Gu Man looked at them with a faint smile and said meaningfully, “Since you’ve agreed, don’t think about going back on your word.”
The leader looked disapproving, but he did not see a white silver line quietly enter each of their bodies in the corner.
Gu Man retracted her flipped wrist and let it fall to her side. She took one last look at the person lying on the ground and quickly walked towards the door.
She had just taken a step forward when she quickly retracted her hand. Gu Man grabbed Zhou Yan, who was about to leave. “Go back to your room just now. If I don’t ask you to come out, don’t come out.”
Zhou Yan’s widened eyes were filled with confusion, but when she saw Gu Man’s serious expression, she still listened obediently.
Gu Man stared at the door and glanced at the group of people on the ground from the corner of her eye. “If you can still move now, 1 advise you to hurry up and go to the room inside. After all, a big problem is about to come.”
The men lying on the ground covered their wounds with pale faces. It was not because of Gu Man’s words, but because moving would affect their wounds.
Gu Man stared at the group of people complaining on the ground and sighed. “Your stamina is really bad. Looks like I still have to specially train you guys in the future.”
She gathered her spiritual power in her hand and walked through the crowd to the door.
Gu Man looked down at the fine spiritual power in her hand and had a headache. She did not know if this bit of spiritual power was enough. After all, from her senses, they did not come with good intentions.
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and only the sound of the wind whistling could be heard. When they came over, it was still bright and sunny, but at this moment, it suddenly darkened, and the air was filled with a dull aura.
This feeling did not make one feel cool. Instead, it only made one feel oppressed.
The position in the corridor had darkened at some point. Perhaps it was because of the gloomy weather, or perhaps it was because the lighting in the old corridor was bad.
The corridor was very quiet. There was clearly no sound, but there was a smell of decay. The smell was not very strong, but it inexplicably made one feel uncomfortable.
Gu Man stood rooted to the ground and did not move, as if she could not smell the decay in the air. However, those who were lying on the ground and could not move were completely doomed.
The smell of decay kept lingering in their noses, but they had nowhere to retreat and nowhere to hide.
The expressions on the men’s faces twisted, as if they understood in an instant why Gu Man insisted on letting them leave. She had probably smelled rotting.
However, they did not know that an even greater danger was still ahead.
As the smell of decay got closer and closer, there were also some slight movements in the air. Occasionally, one could hear a woman’s delicate laughter. It was very clear.
However, it was a little terrifying in such an old neighborhood. Other than Gu Man, who had no expression on her face, the others were filled with fear. They looked around, trying to find the source of the fear.
The moment the heavy footsteps sounded, all their breathing stopped. It was not because they were afraid, but because they could not breathe at all.
In the quiet atmosphere, Gu Man suddenly chuckled. All the pressure disappeared with a wave of her hand.
Immediately, there was the sound of heavy breathing, and all the sounds in the corridor disappeared.
After experiencing the strange thing just now, those who were lying on the ground with lighter injuries had already begun to move their bodies inside bit by bit. The group of people with heavier injuries also tried their best to stay away from the door.
Only Gu Man was left standing at the door alone.
“Why are you still acting hocus pocus? Do you think I’m that kind of young lady who’s so easily frightened?” Gu Man stared at the door disdainfully and snorted at these tricks..
