This time, the man truly heard the sound coming from behind him, so frightened that he kept backing away towards the wall, swallowing nervously with a tense expression. He asked in a startled voice, "Damn it! Who's messing around here! Get out!"
Looking at the man pressed tightly against the wall not far away, Ming Li narrowed her eyes dangerously. "Why don't you turn around and see for yourself?"
Hearing this, the man stiffened all over. After a long moment, as if gathering all his courage, he shakily turned around, only to come face to face with Ming Li's ghastly, familiar face. Wasn't this the person he had just...
"Aah! A ghost!"
With that, the man lunged towards the chopping block not far away, swiftly grabbing the large axe still stained with blood, and violently swung it towards Ming Li.
A powerful gust of wind swept past Ming Li, her expression turning grim.
In the next second, Ming Li suddenly raised a pale, bloodless hand and telekinetically choked the man by the neck.
"Clang—"
The man's body was slowly lifted, his breathing growing ragged. The large axe slipped from his grasp and fell onto the concrete floor...
At this moment, looking at the unrecognizable woman before him, the man was filled with terror. He couldn't hold it in and urinated himself.
Seeing the wet patch on the ground, Ming Li looked disgusted and simply flung him aside. Coincidentally, the man's body was embedded into the wall he had just built...
His back seemed to have hit something fleshy. The man thought of something, his pupils constricting sharply. Terrified, he lost his voice, unable to utter a single word. Two seconds later, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Just then, Ming Li heard the distant wail of police sirens, growing closer.
Not long after, Ming Li heard faint footsteps from above.
Soon, someone found the heavily closed basement door...
"Creak—"
The basement door was slowly pushed open from the outside. Several men in uniform, weapons in hand, cautiously entered.
Upon seeing the large pool of blood on the floor, the expressions of the police officers became even more alert...
After searching the basement, they quickly discovered the man embedded in the wall.
A short while later, the officers rescued the man from the wall, and then saw several chunks of flesh, wrapped in cement, fall from the hole the man had made...
Seeing a finger-like object among the fleshy pieces, the officers' faces turned grim. Glancing at the man slowly waking up on the ground, they exchanged glances, quickly subdued and apprehended him, taking him back to the police station. They then dispatched officers to secure the crime scene...
At this point, one officer noticed a phone with a pink casing on the table and handed it to another. "Team Leader Li, there's a phone here."
Hearing this, the officer addressed as Team Leader Li frowned. Putting on gloves, he took the phone, lit up the screen, and saw a young girl and a little boy on the wallpaper.
Suddenly, the phone screen flickered and unlocked itself.
The officer, "......?"
After a moment of stunned silence, Team Leader Li quickly opened the call log and saw the number from which the alarm had been called...
Thinking of something, Team Leader Li turned to the junior officer and asked, "Was the person who called earlier a man?"
Hearing this, the junior officer blinked in surprise. Snapping back to reality, he replied, "It was a woman."
Team Leader Li, "......?" A woman? Where did a woman come from? When they entered earlier, the door seemed to be bolted from the inside...
For some reason, Team Leader Li's gaze slowly fell on the newly built wall. He inexplicably felt a chill down his spine, as if a ghost had drifted past...
Ming Li, who drifted past them unhurriedly from behind, "......" Was that polite of you...
