“Chen, what’s wrong? You look depressed.” Fali looked at Chen Zhao on the bed.

Usually, when she got up, Chen Zhao would get up too or pull her down for more.

“I hate rainy days,” Chen Zhao said weakly. “Let me sleep a bit longer.”

“Okay, I’ll prepare breakfast for you and then go see if the kids are up.”

The rain was a bit heavy, so it seemed that they couldn’t go out to play today.

Princess, Black-Ma, and White-Ma stood in the yard and howled to the sky.

They knew that they couldn’t go play on rainy days.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Zhao finally got out of bed.

After washing up, he sat under the roof with Princess and the others, watching the pouring rain.

Instead of stopping, the rain got harder.

Fali handed him a glass of milk. “Chen, the weather forecast didn’t say there would be such big rain today.”

“Coastal cities are like this,” Chen Zhao replied helplessly. “Even weather forecasts can’t be completely accurate.”

Because of the storm, the beach was flooded and the waves were bigger than before too.

Thankfully, their house was on higher land, so the waves couldn’t flood it.

Chen Zhao held the key and kept looking at it.

Should he try and pour mana into it?

He tried, but there was no reaction.

It seemed that it had nothing to do with mana.

Just then, Chen Zhao heard frantic pounding on the door.

He was too lazy to get up, so Fali went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a drenched and frail girl ran in.

“Mr. Chen... Mr. Chen...”

Chen Zhao looked. The babyface girl had left quite an impression on him.

“Alyss, why are you here? I’m enemies with the Witch Society now. Aren’t you afraid of me killing you?”

Fali was confused. Wasn’t Chen Zhao still flirting with the Witch Society a few days ago?

How come they were suddenly enemies now?

“Mr. Chen, help me... Save me...”

“I have nothing to do with you and won’t help you do anything else. Go back to wherever you came from. Don’t try to find trouble for yourself.”

“Chen, it’s raining so hard outside. Where do you want her to go to?”

“Oh... Then take an umbrella and go.”

“...”

Just then, a few blurry figures appeared in the rain.

Alyss grew even more terrified. “They’re here... They’re here... They’re here to capture me.”

Chen Zhao looked at the people in the rain. He couldn’t tell who they were.

They stopped a few dozen meters away, not approaching the house.

“Who are they?”

“They’re not people, not people...”

Chen Zhao couldn’t understand what kind of shock Alyss had gotten.

“Chen, I’ll go make them leave,” Fali said.

“Don’t go.” Chen Zhao held onto Fali.

The figures in the rain made him uncomfortable.

“We’re not coming to New York again,” Chen Zhao said unhappily. “Trouble hasn’t stopped since our first day here.”

“It’s obviously you causing trouble.” Fali glared at him. “You cause trouble wherever you go. What does it have to do with New York?”

“Fine, whatever you say.” Chen Zhao touched his nose. It indeed seemed that it was him causing trouble most of the time. “Go be with the kids.”

“What about her?”

“Drive her away when the rain stops.”

Fali rolled her eyes. Chen Zhao spoke harshly but was soft inside.

After Fali left, Chen Zhao walked into the rain, going toward the people.

The figures seemed to be women—probably from the Witch Society.

Was Alyss getting chased by the Witch Society?

But she was part of them.

Chen Zhao felt conflicted. “This is my territory. If you don’t wanna die...”

But when he saw the four witches clearly, he swallowed the second half of his sentence.

F*ck, what is this?

How come these witches look completely messed up?

The witches moved, but their movements weren’t like regular people at all. Their limbs were twisted and their fingernails were extremely sharp too.

Chen Zhao kicked one aside and she snapped in half.

“F*ck, I didn’t even use power.”

Black blood flowed out of the broken witch at the breaking point. It flooded under the feet of the three other witches and seemed to get absorbed by them.

Chen Zhao didn’t waste time talking. They seemed to have gotten possessed.

He took care of them easily.

Now, black blood flowed out of them again, streaming toward Chen Zhao.

His Mouth of Gluttony got an appetite again.

But before it could be activated, Raymond wriggled over and sucked the blood away in one breath.

“Raymond, what is that? Is it edible?”

“The blood of the mutant god,” Raymond said.

“They were possessed by mutants?”

“Should be their corpses,” Raymond said. “These witches were already turned into corpses.”

As expected, it was more trouble.

After returning to the house, Fali looked at him. “The people left?”

“No. I took care of them.”

“You killed them?”

“No, they were already dead.” Chen Zhao looked at the terrified Alyss. “Tell me. What happened?”

Before she could speak, she started sobbing.

Fali was kind. Seeing a young girl like Alyss cry, she immediately went over to comfort her.

“Dear, stop crying. Tell me what happened.”

“They’re dead, they’re all dead,” Alyss sobbed while wiping at her runny nose and tears.

“Who’s dead?” Chen Zhao had a bad feeling.

“The Witch Society are all dead. They were tricked into the library and Charlotte and Cindy set them on fire...”

As Alyss spoke, she shuddered and grabbed her hair frantically. “Fire—big fire... Everyone screamed, Teacher Michelle, Fera... They were all screaming in the library.”

Alyss was honestly traumatized. Chen Zhao’s expression hardened. “You said that Charlotte and Cindy set the fire?”

“Yeah... I was hiding on the side...”

“Why did they do that?”

“They weren’t them anymore.”

“What do you mean?” Chen Zhao’s heart jumped. “They were controlled by the thing under the library?”

“No... The thing invaded their bodies.”

“How do you know? Why were they chasing after you?”

“I’m Michelle’s student. She gave me a book before with a sealing spell. It’s used to seal that thing.”

“See, Fali. I don’t go searching for trouble. Trouble finds me.”
