章 146: The Competitors

The night breeze caressed the candle flames.

The light dimmed and brightened as the tongues of the flames wavered.

The face before Kieran dimmed and brightened along with them.

The face was filled with intertwined scars. It was like a puzzle pieced together. One could hardly tell what the original face had been.

A huge clear scar extended from its right temple to the left corner of its mouth, standing out from the others.

The lifeless face stared at Kieran with dull dead eyes, its eerie gaze wearing down his nerves.

The messy scars on it made it look vicious and sent a chill down Kieran’s spine.

Kieran took a careful look at it before he barged in through the door.

As the door was pushed open, the face disappeared back into the darkness in an instant.

The candle flames were extinguished, the candles falling to the ground as the face disappeared.

The whole corridor and front hall were instantly covered in darkness.
