Mike said I heard the hallucinations again and insisted on keeping an eye on me, fearing I'd be ambushed by dark forces.
But he didn't know, it's not me or Qinghan being ambushed. From the sound of it, it seems like the dark forces themselves were ambushed, as they cried out wretchedly.
I estimated Qinghan should be fine, so I didn't rush to check if he had any handprints on his back.
Time passed bit by bit, and when the rest time was over, Qinghan told everyone to pack up and prepare to set off.
The dark forces didn't appear again. Mike seemed to have the Undead Heart and stuck close to me when we resumed our journey.
Doctor Du and Wang Le walked in a row, with Huang Zaijiang in front of them. Qinghan decided to continue advancing towards the city center, saying that since trouble is unavoidable, we might as well face it head-on.
