Chapter 144: The Puppet Arrives at Midnight

 Chapter 144: The Puppet Arrives at Midnight

The power of the Underworld God flowed through Qin Ruan's fingertips and into Xiao Yunchen's Governing Vessel acupoint, penetrating his eyes.

Qin Ruan's voice was indifferent. "I know you still have doubts, and I don't know if you'll survive until tomorrow. You need to see it with your own eyes to feel at ease."

Ordinary people cannot see the existence of demons and evil spirits unless there are special circumstances or certain magnetic influences.

With the power of the Underworld God flowing through his eyes, the thick aura of death in the large living room spread out like the mist in the autumn, clearly visible to Xiao Yunchen.

The strange and eerie black mist made Xiao Yunchen's head ache, and he couldn't even close his mouth properly.

Qin Ruan looked at Xiao Yunchen coldly, and her lips curled slightly. "It's not even ten o'clock yet. At midnight, when the Yin energy is at its strongest, the puppet will come to you. You can see what she looks like with your own eyes, and maybe it will be a good thing."

At these words, Xiao Yunchen shivered.

He stared at Qin Ruan, his calm expression on the verge of collapse. "Why me?"

In the entertainment industry, where power and sex are exchanged without any bottom line, Xiao Yunchen had always kept himself clean. He had never been involved with any female star or investor.

He had never played with anyone's feelings, so he didn't owe anyone anything.

Why did the puppet choose him? He didn't consider himself a good person, but he wasn't a bad person either. He had never done anything truly despicable.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the woman from his dream could appear in reality.

Qin Ruan shrugged her shoulders and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a glint of light. "That's a good question. I want to know too."

She leaned against the nearest sofa, her posture casual and lazy, but with a hint of impatience in her eyes.

There were still more than two hours left.

During this time, she hoped that the ancient ferocious beast, the Hooked Snake, outside the door would not make any moves.

If the puppet and the Hooked Snake attacked at the same time, even if she possessed the power of the Underworld God, she would not be able to withstand it.

Time passed by unconsciously.

In the past, time always seemed to pass slowly, but tonight, it passed by too fast.

Midnight arrived.

The four people in the living room were tense the entire time. 

"Knock, knock..." 

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. 

In the quiet living room where you could almost hear each other's breathing, the knocking sound seemed extremely eerie. 

There was a doorbell installed at the door, and normal people would ring the doorbell. Knocking like this was rare. 

Xiao Yunchen, who was lying on the couch, sat up abruptly. He stared at the door with wide eyes, feeling a chill run down his spine. He didn't know how to place his hands and feet. 

Xu Enhao sat beside him, not much better off. 

The only two who seemed to be holding up were Qin Ruan and Lu Wenbin. 

"Knock, knock... knock, knock, knock..." 

The knocking became more urgent, and it was obvious that the person outside was impatient. 

Qin Ruan raised her chin to Xiao Yunchen and said, "Go open the door." 

"I'm not going!" 

Xiao Yunchen shrank his body behind the couch. He had already been scared by the female puppet he saw earlier. 

As the knocking sound continued and the black mist inside the room grew thicker, he became even more afraid to open the door. 

If he saw the female puppet covered in blood and bones, he might faint on the spot. 

Xiao Yunchen had this idea because he had a vague memory from his dreams. 

In his dreams, the woman was covered in blood and bones, emitting a foul odor, and her head could even detach from her body. 

He didn't want to see that scene, it was too frightening! 

Qin Ruan looked at Xiao Yunchen's frightened appearance and smiled mysteriously. 

The current Xiao Yunchen was no longer the arrogant and overbearing person he was before.
