Both of them felt a sense of fear rising within them, their minds filled with terrifying images of murderous demons.

"Alright, you two can leave."

Yuan Muye didn't stop them.

What they said was true; risking their lives for a bit of salary just wasn't worth it.

Hearing Yuan Muye say this, the two men didn't dare to leave.

"Section Chief Yuan, if we're going, we'll go together. We can't just leave you here. If the higher-ups find out and hold us accountable, we'll be in deep trouble."

Er Pang and Da Gao looked at Yuan Muye with forced smiles.

In their opinion, Yuan Muye must be scared too.

If they just pushed a little harder, maybe Yuan Muye would leave with them.

But they were clearly mistaken. "I've given you the opportunity. If you don't leave now, you might not be able to later."

After Yuan Muye said that, he didn't stop moving. He could sense that the yin energy here was getting much stronger.

He took a deep breath.

Just then, a scream rang out. It startled all three of them. Without any hesitation, Yuan Muye took off in the direction of the scream.

Da Gao and Er Pang stood there, stunned and uncomprehending.

After a moment, they came to their senses and exchanged confused glances, clearly unsure of what had just happened.

Er Pang spoke up, "Should we follow?"

"What do you think? Of course, we follow. It won't be easy for us to get out of here alive."

With that, the two of them headed in the direction Yuan Muye had gone.

After a while, they spotted a figure ahead. It was none other than Yuan Muye.

"Section Chief Yuan, what happened?"

"See for yourselves."

Yuan Muye said calmly.

When they got closer, their expressions immediately turned grim. There were several bodies on the ground, their faces gnawed away and their hearts eaten.

Judging by their clothes, they were all members of the Supernatural Special Bureau.

Clearly, these were the people who had been involved in the hunt for the evil spirit.

But their faces were so mutilated that it was impossible to identify them.

Er Pang pulled out an ID card from one of the bodies. The name on it was Wang Dana.

"I know this guy. He's one of Section Chief Fang's men."

"Where's Section Chief Fang?"

Da Gao asked.

Both of them looked at Yuan Muye, waiting for an answer. Yuan Muye rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you looking at me? How would I know?"

"Then these people?"

"They were already dead when we got here."

Yuan Muye said expressionlessly.

The two didn't dare to press him further, realizing just how vicious the evil spirit was. Their fear continued to grow.

After an unknown amount of time, Er Pang asked in a low voice, "Section Chief Yuan, what do we do now?"

Er Pang was terrified and turned to Yuan Muye for guidance.

Yuan Muye countered with a question, "What do you think we should do?"

"Run! Let's get out of here, Section Chief Yuan. I'm really scared."

Er Pang chickened out.

So did Da Gao.

"I've already said it once, and I don't want to repeat myself. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being impolite."

Although Yuan Muye was a fairly easygoing person, he had no sympathy for those who retreated in the face of danger.

Of course, he wouldn't go out of his way to stop them.

After all, no one wanted to die; wanting to live was only natural.

"Negative emotions from Da Gao +299..."

"Negative emotions from Er Pang +299..."

Although they were afraid, they didn't dare to say another word after hearing Yuan Muye's ultimatum.

"Section Chief Yuan, we won't leave. We'll stick with you. Can you protect us if things get dangerous?" Da Gao asked weakly.

"Alright."

Yuan Muye agreed.

Since the evil spirit had gnawed away their faces and eaten their hearts, it must have a strong scent of blood on it.

Yuan Muye followed the faint scent of blood.

Da Gao and Er Pang followed closely behind Yuan Muye, not daring to relax for a moment.

After walking for a while, Yuan Muye suddenly stopped.

The two quickly stopped as well, not even daring to look around, fearing they might attract unwanted attention.

"I think there's something there."

Yuan Muye said.

"Section Chief Yuan, please don't scare us. We're easily frightened."

Er Pang said.

"Why would I scare you? If I say there's a sound, there's a sound."

Yuan Muye walked forward and soon spotted a hunched figure with its head buried, gnawing on something.

There was something familiar about this figure.

It was wearing the uniform of the Supernatural Special Bureau.

Could it be an inside job?

Er Pang and Da Gao also sensed that something was wrong.

"Who are you?"

Yuan Muye asked.

The figure didn't turn around, still making rustling sounds, as if it were eating something. It was truly a terrifying sight.

"Who are you? Why are you wearing our uniform?"

Er Pang asked, gathering his courage.

After a while, about a minute, a strange, chilling laugh echoed, sending shivers down their spines.

The figure turned around.

Er Pang and Da Gao both cried out in alarm, "Section Chief Fang! How could it be you?"

Yuan Muye's expression changed slightly when he heard that title.

He didn't know any Section Chief Fang.

Section Chief Fang's eyes were cloudy, and his mouth was covered in blood.

Yuan Muye wondered if the evil spirit had possessed Section Chief Fang.

Section Chief Fang was emitting a strong aura of yin energy, making it difficult to discern the truth.

Was this the real Section Chief Fang, or was he possessed by the evil spirit?

But the way Section Chief Fang looked at them, with such ferocity, was truly unsettling.

After a moment, he slowly walked toward them.

Er Pang and Da Gao were terrified, their legs trembling. They quickly said to Yuan Muye, "Section Chief Yuan, let's run! If we don't run now, it'll be too late. We're all going to die here."

They wanted to run, but seeing that Yuan Muye hadn't moved, they didn't dare to act on their own.

"Run? Where do you think you're going?"

Section Chief Fang suddenly spoke in a somewhat deranged voice, then stared at the three of them and said, "You three will become my blood food today, understand?"

"Hahahaha..."

He burst into a frenzy of laughter.

Yuan Muye couldn't quite figure out this guy, so he asked, "Are you Section Chief Fang, or are you Section Chief Fang after being possessed?"
