[Dual Male Leads] [Supernatural] [Everyone's Favorite] [Sweet on the Outside, Dark Within]
Lin Xi had lived an ordinary life for 25 years. Then he attended a wedding, and his life took a strange turn. He and the young Taoist who came to his rescue were soon caught up in one terrifying incident after another. For example:
Lin Xi ran, glancing back every now and then. The little girl was still following him, one hand held up the whole time. At first, she looked like an ordinary girl in her early teens. But Lin Xi soon noticed that with every glance back, her face was visibly rotting away.
Her flesh began to warp and peel off, and her eyeballs started to droop out of their sockets. In the end, only one eye remained, rolling around in its socket. If the girl hadn't steadied it with her hand along the way, both eyes would probably have fallen out. She seemed to need them to keep track of where Lin Xi had run off to.
Once he realized the girl was after him, Lin Xi completely panicked. After taking a long detour, he finally put some distance between himself and the 'thing' behind him. Maybe it was just his imagination, but as he sprinted away from her, she seemed noticeably slower, though she kept following him.
Just as Lin Xi was on the verge of a breakdown, the thing behind him finally stopped chasing him. He seized the chance and ran for the exit as fast as he could. At least this time, she wasn't blocking the way out.
It wasn't even midnight when he escaped the hotel. There should have been plenty of people on the streets at that hour, but Lin Xi still couldn't find a single living soul. Nobody? A cat or a dog would have been fine!
Lin Xi was on the verge of a complete breakdown!
