Bord and David finally remembered that they were running for their lives.
âWhatâs that? A magic spell?â
âThatâs the illusion of the Snake of Desire, but it can only delay Maria for a moment. The mixed evil spirits behind is the most terrifying.â
âDo you have another trump card? Like your grandma?â
âNo. I only have three evil spirit servants.â
âI thought youâd have your entire family.â
âMy grandma is a witch too. If she becomes an evil spirit, thatâll be scary. Iâm not powerful enough to make her submit to me.â
âWhere are we now?â Bord asked.
âIt looks like the entrance to a small town,â Sienna said. âWe canât go in.â
âIt seems to be Mountain Town⌠Chen lives here.â
âThat doesnât matter,â Sienna said. âThat man canât help us. Heâs just deadweight too.â
âBut can we even turn back?â David pointed to the mixed evil spirits hurrying over a few hundred feet away.
âThey seem slower now, butâŚwhy do I feel like theyâre even scarier now?â
âThis is their celebration,â Sienna answered. âTheyâre eating each other. This isnât a good sign.â
David suddenly took out a key. âWhen Chen left that day, he gave me this key. He said that if weâre in danger and canât contact him, we can hide in his basement.â
âYou believe him?â
âI believe Chen,â David said firmly.
âYou must know if that if we really hide into that basement, we wonât have any way to turn back.â
âWe donât have a way to turn back now. We canât go far on foot. Plus, we donât have anymore strength.â
âTake us to that Asianâs house,â Sienna finally decided.
âŚ
Knock, knock, knock.
Hearing the knocks, Fali rose up from the sofa.
âIs that *sshole back?â she muttered to herself, upset. âHe didnât bring his key?â
When she opened the door, she saw strangers insteadâtwo men and a woman. They seemed to be running for their lives. There was an unconscious girl in a wheelchair too.
âYou are?â
âUhâŚare you Chenâs girlfriend?â
âNo, Iâm his roommate. Are you his friends?â
âYes, please take us to the basement,â David said anxiously.
âChen doesnât let me into the basement. We agreed to it.â
âWe have his permission,â David said. âI have the key.â
âI donât think thereâs a lock to the basement. Why would you need a key?â
âLetâs not talk now. Time is short. Take us to the basement.â
âWaitâŚyouâre really Chenâs friends?â
âYes. Is he not home?â
âHeâs not, so I canât let you in.â Fali was still guarded against these people.
âF*ck, the call wonât go through!â David yelled in panic.
âYou canât run. Offer your souls!â Maria had already reached the door. She held the magical awl that Sienna had used.
âWhoâs this girl? Is she your friend too? Sheâs huge.â Fali looked at Maria behind everyone with a doubtful expression.
Sienna smacked Mariaâs face with the bag of magical phosphor. When the phosphor touched Maria, it exploded immediately.
âAhâŚIâm going to kill you allâŚâ Colorful flames flared up on Mariaâs body. It was a terrifying sight.
âYouâŚâ Fali was dumb with shock. Were these people criminals?
The next moment, Maria stood up again. The flames were still burning. Her menacing and twisted face and huge physique made her look even more frightening.
Sienna pushed Fali aside. âThe basement!â
âWhat is that? What is that?â
âAn evil spirit⌠Whereâs the basement?â
âUnder the stairs.â Fali followed the group.
They reached the basement and pulled the door.
âNo lock?â
âGo in, go in,â Sienna urged.
They reached the basement and turned on the light. There were some medical tools and books.
âThis canât stop Maria at all, let alone the mixed evil spirits,â Sienna said. âWe were tricked. That Asian wants to trick us.â
âHey, thereâs another door here.â David saw another door in the wall.
Bord went up to look. âThereâs a keyhole here.â
David reached over and pulled it. The door opened, but there was a wall behind itânothing else. Just then, a bunch of noises came from outside the basement.
Everyone grew more nervous. MariaâŚor those even scarier things had already entered the house.
Sienna looked at the door and the keyhole on it.
âNo, this is a concealed magic door.â
âWhat?â Everyone looked at her in confusion.
âClose the door and put the key in.â
David moved and twisted the key.
Crack.
A damp feeling seeped out of the door, making everyone shudder.
âThisâŚis there something hidden behind it?â Bord asked in fear.
Scratch.
Just then, everyone heard something like scratches behind the door. David looked at Bord and then Sienna.
âDo I open it?â
If Bord hadnât spoken, Sienna wouldnât have hesitated, but nowâŚ
Huff, huffâ
They all heard heaving breathing behind the door. It definitely wasnât a humanâs breaths. It was more like some hugeâŚcreature breathing.
But while they were still hesitating, Mariaâs head already poked into the basement. The menacing and scarred face appeared before them all.
âI found you all, hehe⌠Wait, why canât I come in?â
Maria was too big, so she couldnât squeeze inside the door.
âCanât evil spirits go through walls?â David whispered.
âIt might have something to do with this door. We opened it and changed the environment.â
âThank god she canât change like clayâŚâ Bord said, patting his chest.

Maria forced her way in and her body was indeed like clay. Everyone stared at Bord. Rather than the terrifying Maria, they hated Bord more.
âOkay, okay⌠I know. Iâll shut up.â
âYou canât escape anymore? My dear Sienna, donât worry. Iâll leave you to the last⌠Iâll protect you carefully, just like when you were little.â
âSienna, do you have any other spells? Use them now.â
