The headless woman did not exert a mortal blow, allowing Zhao Kang and Zhao Lan to escape.
I am not in a hurry.
There are precautions at the entrance of the mansion, and my methods are sufficient to stop them. Furthermore, I have also restored the red rope that was blocking the entrance.
Taking several deep breaths to steady my breath, I began to walk towards the entrance of the courtyard.
A few minutes later, in front of the courtyard.
The talisman under the door scroll was gently swaying in the wind, the red rope was still as before, but the copper coin was shaking lightly, as if it had been hit by something.
Other than that, there were no abnormalities at all, and there was not a single hint of grayness.
I closed my left eye, leaving only my right eye open.
The scene before me was completely different, a few threads of very thin and faint gray gas were flowing in a certain direction.
I squinted slightly, following the direction, and walked onto the opposite side of another covered walkway.
I soon reached the end of the corridor. There were no other doors here; only a sealed wall stood, adjacent to the main hall of the courtyard.
That thin and faint gray gas entered the main hall.
I continued to follow and went inside, the dust on the ground was significantly reduced, a bit cleaner than before.
Maintaining an unchanging expression, I raised my head and still looked at the beams.
Among a few crossbeams on the east side, the gray gas is most concentrated.
"Can't you just find a different place to hide?" I calmly asked.
In the hall of the back courtyard, Zhao Kang was responsible for the beam. Now, he is still up there, and the orientation is identical.
Gradually, Zhao Kang's face emerged from behind a beam, and his eyes were even more menacing. His pupil was even more blood red, but a trace of desperation was also faintly visible on his face.
The gray gas vanished in an instant, and Zhao Kang appeared directly below the beam, his toes barely touching the ground, staring at me with venom.
He glanced at my side again, his expression filled with even greater fear and the desperation was more intense.
The headless woman was standing beside me, and she did not seem particularly terrifying.
However, without a head, she was already quite frightening. With Zhao Kang being so vicious and not a match for her at all, Zhao Kang naturally felt hopeless.
I didn't see Zhao Ni. With my current right eye, I can see some things that are not normally visible, and there is an inexplicable connection with Zhao Kang, who is dressed in a dead person's clothes.
Zhao Zui should not be in this hall.
"Take off the clothes you're wearing, remove your glasses, and I'll let you go."
"I have no intention of being involved in the death of Zhao Ni, nor do I intend to let the skinless ghost eat you then. Just that, many times, variables come more than planned," I spoke in a deep voice.
Zhao Kang's shoulder was slightly shaking, and a smile appeared on his face.
But this smile seemed histerical.
"You say you had no intention of killing Lao Lao, and you act like you had no intention of letting me be eaten, as if you're so high and mighty, deceitful and insincere! Do I deserve to be humiliated by you all by nature?!"
"My life, by nature, is worthless. My sister, does she deserve to live?"
Zhao Kang's trembling became more pronounced, his smile was uglier than a cry.
"I have nothing left! Only a pair of glasses and a house I can never live in again!"
"You took away the house I bought with all my might while I was still alive!"
"You're going to take away the last thing I had in mind after I died!"
"You're breathing, but you're not a human!"
Zhao Kang's trembling voice turned into a sharp scream.
My eardrums hurt intensely, and there was a buzzing in my ears!
My brow was tightly knitted, but I couldn't find anything to refute Zhao Kang's words.
He had indeed lived a wretched life in this life.
Occupying the unfinished building, occupying the house he had, was his obsession.
I did indeed pull out his obsession, Zhao Zui died as a result...
"You still have the chance to be reborn, to see your wife and children again. Indeed, I can't say anything about an unintentional mistake, I can only do what I can for you."
"I will give your wife a sum of money, enough for her to raise your child."
"If you have any other requirements, you can make them known." I added.
My thoughts were still complicated, which is why I hadn't allowed the headless woman to "kill" Zhao Kang directly.
If it can be avoided, don't kill, I don't have to bear the burden of an injustice that should never have been.
Zhao Kang's body trembled again, and he looked at me with an expression of growing fury.
"I hate the compassion of people like you!"
"Request? I have only one request, can you fulfill it?"
Zhao Kang's body swayed and shuffled towards me.
His toes wobbled as he approached, and he soon reached in front of me.
"You can come listen. However, if your request is not about what to do with my in-laws, I will still give them a sum of money," I said lightly breathing out.
Zhao Kang's dead eye narrowed again, and the blood-red eyes seemed to be filled with a struggle.
But the next second, the struggle was covered by even more maniacal emotions.
"I don't want the buying-of-life money out of pity!"
"A person alive can always live!"
"I want you to die! Let my sister live!"
Zhao Kang suddenly opened his mouth and fiercely inhaled towards me!
His mouth opened unnaturally wide, deforming as if it could swallow me whole!
I did indeed feel a force, stronger than before, and it even made me feel a bit dizzy.
In that instant, the headless woman's arms enveloped Zhao Kang's neck!
"No!" A shrill, empty cry, even more panicked, came from directly behind!
However, it's already too late.
The headless woman's hand gently lifted up.
Zhao Kang's head was easily pulled off his neck.
His grotesquely opened mouth returned to its original state.
His hysterical face turned stiff, and his staring eyes looked at me with a hollow gaze.
Shortly after, I saw his eyes, whose expression seemed to have changed, one completely empty, and the other one merged with the old man's eyes wearing a suit.
In the next second, Zhao Kang's head, like dust blown by the wind, dissolved into nothing...
A pair of glasses clattered loudly on the ground.
His body also disappeared inch by inch...
"Aah!" A wailing cry echoed, and a ghost figure rushed in instantly, stopping in front of Zhao Kang with her hands repeatedly clenching, as if trying to prevent the disintegration of his soul.
However, all of this cannot be reversed, and it is just a waste.
Within a minute or two, Zhao Kang had been completely erased, leaving only a suit and a pair of glasses on the ground.
Zhao Ni cried in an extremely desperate manner, her blood tears flowing continuously, her soul growing weaker and weaker.
"This little brat caused his own soul and spirit to disperse, and I gave him a chance."
"The little lady's crying is so annoying. If you keep crying, you'll also disperse into a ghost."
"These two siblings, they don't have any brain or heart, do they?"
Lao Gong emerged from the night pot, with a gasping attitude, and his sentences were even more caustic.
"Lao Gong!" I sternly reprimanded.
He rolled his eyes and then smiled ingratiatingly at me.
Lao Gong is indeed more agile, my finger didn't go in vain.
Although, his words were too overboard, equivalent to sprinkling salt on a person's wound.
Recalling the scene just now, Zhao Kang... seemed to have been shaken.
But after he was shaken, he immediately regained his composure and attacked me fiercely!
That's why the headless woman resorted to killing him.
Perhaps Zhao Kang isn't that extreme, it was the old man in the suit who disrupted his thinking! To some extent, he was even controlling his actions!
