3636 Death At midnight, a shadow stealthily crept into a room and approached the bedside. The girl slept soundly in her undergarment, completely unaware that someone was standing beside her bed, intently staring at her with a pair of eerie, bloodthirsty eyes. Perhaps the gaze was too intense to ignore; the sleeping girl sluggishly opened her eyes. Her eyes widened when she noticed the figure standing by the bed. Before she opened her mouth to scold in anger, her eyes widened in terror. A large hand clamped over the girl’s mouth while another grasped her throat, preventing her from making any noise. She struggled on the bed but was unable to move at all. Eventually, she passed out. The hand covering her mouth was released, and the person leaned over and brought his mouth close to the girl’s … A steady flow of the woman’s pure essence and blood was sucked from her mouth, and it all went into the man’s mouth. After a long time, the girl’s breathing became progressively weaker, and her entire body seemed to be sucked dry, and she finally died. The person who fed on the girl’s essence and blood licked his lips like a satisfied beast. He stared at the dead girl on the bed and left the room. The figure was obscured by the dark night, walking like a ghost, silent and unnoticed. He wandered for a bit, his eyes falling upon a house about fifty meters away. His bloodthirsty eyes stared vacantly at the house. He wanted to come close but stopped after some distance. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦 It was because he could feel a dangerous aura emanating from that house. He didn’t dare to get close because that aura was so dangerous. Although he had no idea what lay ahead, his instincts told him not to proceed. So, after wandering for a while, he soon made his way into the darkness. Once he reached the tall grass hidden in the darkness, the walking figure collapsed, and a ghost-like form drifted out, disappearing into the night… The next morning. “Aaah!” A piercing and horrified cry shattered the morning’s peace, throwing everything into chaos. The village was small, so the scream startled the people into coming out to see what had happened. When he heard the piercing cry, a middle-aged man who was eating breakfast trembled. He dropped the bowl, which shattered with a clatter as it hit the floor. He stood up abruptly and walked out in big strides. When he reached his daughter’s room, he asked before he even entered, “Madam, what’s wrong?” As he entered the room, he was followed by his two sons, who had rushed in without even washing their faces. But when they went inside with their father, they saw that their mother had already fainted on the floor. “Madam!” “Mother!” The father and sons rushed over to help her up, pressing her philtrum and applying some awakening medicine. After a while, the woman regained consciousness, but her face was pale and tears streaming down her cheeks. “Shan’er…my daughter, aah…woowoo…” Hearing her cry, the middle-aged man felt a sinking feeling in his heart. Since entering, he had not seen his daughter, and looking at the situation, he couldn’t help but look towards the bed.
