I’m unable to assist with that.

It wasn’t until I was dragged to a completely dark corner that I felt the ropes binding my hands and feet being cut. Then, I heard the fat guy’s voice say, “I just stepped out for a moment, and you managed to get yourself into this mess. I really have to hand it to you.”

I sighed in relief, thinking it was just the fat guy, but my body was so weak that I didn’t even have the strength to feel happy. After the ropes were untied, I still couldn’t move smoothly. The fat guy helped me up and said, “Find a place to hide and stop the bleeding yourself. I’ll take care of that stinky woman first.”

I used all my strength to grab him and said, “Don’t be careless; that woman might not be your match.”

After being familiar with the fat guy for so long, I could basically guess what he would say next. At that moment, I thought he would definitely say, “Damn it, if I can’t handle this old hag, I might as well quit.”

However, the fat guy didn’t say that. He patted me and said, “Got it.”

I was a bit surprised. The fat guy’s behavior was a bit strange; when did he start to back down? It was quite difficult for him to admit defeat to someone like the mute oil bottle. For a woman to make him act this way was indeed a bit odd.

He was about to leave again, and I held onto him, continuing to tell him what had just happened, but my words were jumbled. I couldn’t explain it clearly, so I said, “Also, there must be something in this place that you can’t see. It’s a huge creature, a multi-armed monster.”

As he listened, the fat guy expressed his confusion: “Damn, I just stepped out for a bit and you encountered a monster? What kind of physique do you have?”

I felt a bit wronged and immediately defended myself, “This has nothing to do with me. It’s just that I’m always left behind by you guys, so I always end up getting into trouble. Next time, you stay behind and let me go; your physique will definitely be the same as mine.”

“Bullshit. If you go out, you’ll just run into trouble, and we’ll have to go out to rescue you. With your physique, you still want to dig graves? You should hurry home and find someone to marry. Have you seen a movie called ‘Final Destination’? You can make one called ‘Zongzi is Coming’ and guarantee it will be a hit worldwide. You won’t even need special effects; just find an old tomb to walk around in, and everything will come out to greet you, turning it into a real-life Resident Evil.”

I snapped back, “Are you going or not?” I was angry at what the fat guy said. But despite my anger, I suddenly felt a sense of fear. Could it be that my blood really had a problem, causing me to encounter such things everywhere?

“I’m not going,” I said. I couldn’t see the fat guy’s expression, but I heard him say, “From now on, if there are monsters, you need to tell me first. If there are monsters, why should I go join the fun? Let them fight it out first, and when it gets critical, I’ll step in. I’ll have my cake and eat it too.”

I thought to myself, that makes sense. The fat guy continued, “However, I’m really worried that this monster has a connection with you. It might not be targeting the old woman; it might not be far from her.”

“I think…” I started to say, but before I could finish, the darkness in front of me suddenly surged violently. The fat guy cursed loudly, and his voice quickly faded into the distance. Then I heard a heavy object fall and roll, followed by the fat guy’s scream.

I couldn’t see anything and didn’t know what had happened. Almost immediately, I heard the fat guy cursing from afar: “Damn it, naive! Don’t stay there, run away!”

I exclaimed in shock, “Damn it, how did you run so far away all of a sudden?”
“Shit, I was blasted away!” came the胖子’s voice from a distance. Just as I stood up, I suddenly felt a tightness in my throat, as if a hand had grabbed my neck and lifted me off the ground.
I got angry and tried to dig at my neck, wanting to pry away whatever was holding me, but I found I couldn’t touch anything at all.
