The boss's eyes were filled with hatred and brutality. As he raised his hands high, his nose twitched, and he fiercely exhaled towards the position of Yin Meng!
In an instant, scorching flames burst from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. He himself resembled a great fountain, spinning and spewing fire.
Because he had been poisoned earlier, his body was in chaos, originally unable to exhale properly. This time, he had accumulated too much force, and the flames couldn't be expelled outward, thus they had to overflow.
The flames swept upwards and downwards, forcing Yin Meng to retreat, exit the hallway, and close the door.
The door handle became scalding hot instantly.
Fortunately, inside was the fire escape, which was hardly ever used, so the fiery chaos inside was not of much consequence. If this had happened inside the furniture mall, a major fire would have been unavoidable.
When Yin Meng reopened the door and walked inside, she found that the stairway was completely charred up and down.
The boss's body had also turned into charcoal, and a shadow stood before the human-shaped charcoal, reaching out to seize a green light from mid-air.
"Who are you?"
The shadow seemed to approach Yin Meng with the intention of attacking, but as soon as he took a step, he stopped, then let out a roar, as if something was causing him great anger.
He swiftly floated downward.
Yin Meng jumped down the stairs to pursue, but each stairway door was open, and the passage was burnt pitch black, making the target quickly disappear.
She tried to listen for the location, but unfortunately, she lacked Brother Xiao Yuan's kind of hearing.
As a member of the Yin family, she couldn't even conduct an investigation of the shadows, ultimately she could only clench her fists and wave them, venting her frustration.
...
"Why, why, why, why do they refuse to leave me alone even when my life is going well! Why!"
Fourth Uncle brandished two kitchen knives, continuing his pursuit in the neighborhood.
Tan Wenbin initially ran with Zhou Yunyun, and although Zhou Yunyun didn't understand why she had to run, she instinctively trusted him.
Gradually, Tan Wenbin realized something was wrong. The weather had been clear just moments ago, so why did a heavy fog suddenly appear in the neighborhood?
It wasn't just a simple illusion; it covered such a wide range... He immediately realized that this was a miasma!
He and Zhou Yunyun were gradually entering the miasma set up by that Fourth Uncle.
Unlike Yuanzi's quick thinking, Tan Wenbin had to first recall the book's title, then think of its contents to list the method for breaking the miasma, and after listing, he had to consider practicality.
Fortunately, while pondering this, he first pushed Zhou Yunyun out, then ran in another direction himself.
The target of that Fourth Uncle was clearly him.
Indeed, when he started running away, Fourth Uncle only gave chase to him, and the white fog that gradually covered also only followed him, not entangling Zhou Yunyun further.
Break the miasma, break the miasma, break the miasma...
Tan Wenbin quickly sorted through various methods to break the miasma while running to put some distance between himself and Fourth Uncle.
"Children, help me hide, I need time!"
It seemed to work; Tan Wenbin began to run around the neighborhood randomly, playing hide-and-seek with Fourth Uncle.
In the whole neighborhood, he didn't see anyone else.
Although Fourth Uncle's footsteps would appear every time he hid for a while, he always managed to anticipate and choose a new place to continue hiding.
Like this, he had no idea how long he had been hiding until reaching the front, entering the neighborhood's cul-de-sac. Apart from entering that unit building, all other directions were blocked, and under the fog, they were invisible.
The area covered by the fog was too large; there wasn't much space left for him to continue hiding.
Tan Wenbin gritted his teeth and rushed into the unit building, then began continuously forming hand seals with both hands.
Going out for a meal, it was impossible to bring a set of Array Formation Flags; those things were terribly heavy, even if going for a barbecue, using the flagpole as a skewer would feel too heavy.
But relying on hand seals to form arrays without tools, even Brother Xiao Yuan didn't use this often, and for Tan Wenbin, it was even more challenging.
No matter whether to turn and fight with Fourth Uncle or run to gather people, he first had to dismantle the opponent's home ground environment.
"Children, come practice with me quickly!"
Tan Wenbin formed seals as he ascended the stairs, while Fourth Uncle with the kitchen knife was also climbing upstairs.
No way would Tan Wenbin ever believe someone capable of setting a miasma would truly only use kitchen knives to chop people.
Reaching the fourth floor, Tan Wenbin suddenly discovered a room door was open ahead. He thought of going inside first, then jumping out from the window to continue the chase circles with Fourth Uncle.
However, plans were rich, yet reality was stark.
Upon entering, he saw a large photo frame on the couch depicting Fourth Uncle cooking while a reporter with a microphone was interviewing him nearby.
Damn, he had escaped into their home!
Or perhaps, the opponent used darkness to guide and force him into his house.
Such an interview photo wasn't hung in the shop, nor was it hung on the house's wall.
Tan Wenbin looked at the walls and found many group photos of children and various donation and educational commendations, as well as clippings.
These items adorned every inch of the room's walls.
In Tan Wenbin's mind, Luo Mingzhu's previous words immediately resurfaced, saying that her Fourth Uncle left to work on his own because he couldn't stand her parents skimping on ingredients.
No, are you a specter accumulating virtue and doing good here?
