Chapter 192: Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here
Chi Jiao raised her head to look at Quan Jue. From the corner of her eye, she saw the black figure holding a wrench behind him. Her pupils shrank.
But before she could react, Quan Jue suddenly moved.
He seemed to have sensed someone approaching from behind. Just as the wrench in that person’s hand was about to land on the back of his head, he quickly picked her up and dodged to the side.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the wrench smashed heavily onto the wooden table, creating a huge hole in it.
The attack did not succeed, but the black figure did not continue the fight. It turned around and ran out of the room.
“Brother Quan, let’s go after them. Don’t let the person escape,” Chi Jiao said as she grabbed his hand and rushed out of the room.
“They’re gone?” After rushing out of the room, Chi Jiao was surprised to find that the black shadow had disappeared from the corridor.
The corridor was so long that even if that person ran at the speed of an Olympic champion, it was impossible for them to disappear in less than a minute.
Chi Jiao immediately thought of a possibility.
— The person who attacked her and Quan Jue was most likely an Esper.
Quan Jue quickly scanned the corridor before his gaze landed on a shiny object on the floor.
He quickly walked up to the object and bent down to pick it up.
Chi Jiao walked over and took a look at the item in Quan Jue’s hand. She raised her eyebrows in surprise.
It was a silver bracelet with a star-shaped bell on it.
For some reason, she felt that this bracelet looked a little familiar.
“I’ve seen this bracelet before,” Chi Jiao said with certainty.
“This design is very ordinary,” Quan Jue said lightly.
This kind of bracelet should be very common in stores selling silver jewelry. There was indeed nothing special about it.
Chi Jiao nodded and didn’t dwell on this issue. “Let’s get out of here first.”
It was indeed not safe to stay here. Quan Jue kept the bracelet in his pocket for the time being. Then, he held Chi Jiao’s hand and walked toward the entrance of the Haunted House.
In the dim corridor, a wisp of black smoke gradually condensed into the shape of an eye. It stared fixedly at Chi Jiao and Quan Jue’s departing figures. The hatred and jealousy in its eyes were almost tangible.
Chi Jiao felt someone staring at her, so she turned around.
In the end, the corridor behind her was empty. There was not even a shadow.
“What’s wrong?” Quan Jue asked.
“I keep having the feeling that someone is watching us,” Chi Jiao said with a frown.
“Don’t worry, I’m here,” Quan Jue whispered.
Chi Jiao smiled and nodded.
When the staff guarding the haunted house outside saw Chi Jiao and Quan Jue walking out of the entrance together, they couldn’t help but ask, “Are you lost? Why did you come out from the entrance?”
Quan Jue walked forward and explained to the staff member, Xiao Chen, about the attack on him and Chi Jiao.
When Xiao Chen heard that, he broke out in a cold sweat!
He knew without thinking that the shadow was not arranged by their haunted house to scare the visitors.
They wouldn’t dare to use a wrench to attack the visitors. What if something happened?
Therefore, Xiao Chen did not dare to be careless. He immediately notified the proprietor and led them to their office to wait.
Sitting in the office with the heater on, Chi Jiao held a cup of hot water with both hands while Quan Jue sat beside her.
“That shadow earlier didn’t look like a human,” Chi Jiao whispered to him.
