CHAPTER 989: CHAPTER 290: DEVIL CREATURES AT THE BANQUET

Jiang Feng stood in place, and a few people were frightened by his gaze, asking again, "Who exactly are you?"

Their drunkenness instantly sobered, even the dullest among them could sense something was wrong.

A woman tricked them into coming here, and a sinister-looking middle-aged man stared at them, as if he wanted to devour them.

"Let’s go, it’s simply madness."

One man muttered a curse under his breath, not taking the scene seriously; a young woman and a middle-aged man—did they want to rob them? With so many of them here, they had no fear.

"Yeah, let’s go! These people are insane!"

A young woman unhappily pulled the man beside her, turning to leave.

"Ghost... ghost... ghost!"

The girl spun around, eyes wide in disbelief, pointing ahead of her.

The men turned to look where she was pointing; their faces changed, "What ghostly thing is this?"

They saw themselves surrounded by a black mist, bizarre and chilling, making their skin crawl.

"What is this, so terrifying!"

The young woman grabbed onto the man beside her, trembling in fear. What was this thing, so frightening?

The men stood together, wanting to leave, but they couldn’t escape the black mist.

Jiang Feng remained motionless, his cold gaze watching the struggle of the people encased in black mist, followed by a sinister grin.

The black mist gradually corroded all the men and women, leaving them no time to struggle, as they stood rigidly in place, allowing the mist to engulf them.

Meiji stood in a corner, watching the scene unfold, guessing what Jiang Feng intended to do. He wanted puppets, but what was he going to do with puppets? Was he really planning something?

A few minutes later, the men and women who had been moving earlier hung their heads, completely motionless.

Meiji turned her head and closed her eyes; though cruel, she had never done anything like this before.

The men and women started to move one by one, lifting their heads, turning to Jiang Feng with vacant, godless expressions, black mist swirling in their eyes, bowing respectfully, "Master."

Jiang Feng walked forward, sinister and eerie, staring at them, "Absorb Vital Qi for me, I need Vital Qi, from many people."

"Yes!"

The men and women seemed to be under control, nodding towards Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng disappeared into the darkness.

Meiji watched Jiang Feng disappear, pursing her lips in silence.

She glanced at the men and women, then turned and left.

The men and women walked outside.

A day later, Qin Qin headed to Beijing University, mainly for issues related to exam retakes.

The person receiving Qin Qin was the principal of Beijing University, who, upon learning Qin Qin wanted to retake exams, assured her arrangements would be made swiftly.

After resolving the exam retake matters, Qin Qin walked through Beijing University with the principal’s respectful treatment, drawing admiring gazes from many Beijing University students.

"There’s a big problem, a big problem!"

Suddenly, some shrill, terrified voices came from nowhere.

The principal startled, angrily glaring at the panicked students; Madam Mo was still here, yet they were shouting and yelling.

"Go see who is shouting nonsense,"

The principal said to a director standing nearby.

The director, face slightly gloomy, walked ahead.

But before the director could sort things out, more screams came from nearby.

"Madam Mo, I apologize, but if there’s nothing significant, perhaps I could take you to see another area."

The principal explained stiffly, it was rare for Madam Mo to visit Beijing University, yet such things were happening; what were those students yelling about?

"Principal, principal, something terrible has happened!"

The director came running over, panting heavily, and the students who had been watching Qin Qin had already rushed away.

The principal’s expression changed drastically as he grabbed the director’s collar, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

The principal’s face was anxious, yet hesitant to neglect Qin Qin.

"Principal, go handle it; don’t worry about me,"

Qin Qin whispered to the principal, who apologized to her, "My apologies, Madam Mo, I’ll handle things first, and return later."

After speaking, the principal hurried away.

Many Beijing University students bypassed Qin Qin and headed in the direction the principal went.

"I heard Xiangxiang is on the rooftop too, is it true?"

"How could Xiangxiang be on the rooftop? But I feel Xiangxiang has been acting strange since she came back last night, gloomy, and I accidentally touched her and she felt cold."

"I think so too; this morning, I called her, and she ignored me. It’s too odd."

"Could it be she’s been affected by something, causing her personality to change abruptly?"
