Kapitel 40: The Hunter Strikes

Just when Chu Yue and Bai Ling were about to open the car door, a man with a dry, raspy voice approached them from behind. He came out of nowhere, and it creeped them out.

"Please wait, ladies!"

His voice sent shivers up their spine. They felt uneasy being alone on an empty street with a stranger so late at night.

Chu Yue and Bai Ling turned their heads around to get a look at this weirdo. Was anyone else with him, or was he alone? Dressed in black from head to toe, he was wearing a loose black coat and a wide-brimmed hat pulled down over his eyes. It just so happened that the lights from the streetlamp were shining down at a slanted angle on top of his head, making it impossible to see his face.

Earlier, the girls had checked the street and the area around the car to make sure it was safe. There wasn't a person in sight. Everything looked okay. So when this stranger came from behind them, walking softly without making a sound, they smelled trouble.
