CH 152

The sound of breaking bones rang out nonstop as the smelly zombie brain matter fell to the floor, until at last only one zombie remained. Its throat let out a murky breath as it stood amongst the corpses of its brethren. Its body wanted to escape but something was controlling it, making it unable to move a single step.

Under the moonlight, an icy glint flashed by the back of its neck and its head fell off as its body crashed onto the floor.

Qu Yan stepped over all this mess on the floor, his hand rising and falling with the splatter of blood and splashing some of that dark red color onto his cheeks.

A successful hunting trip which seemed to have finally satisfied him. He wiped his blade clean, preparing to head back into the car when he unexpectedly faced up to a pair of familiar eyes. Through the muddy glass window, they could see each other’s faces very clearly.

Qu Yan’s footsteps halted. The pair of eyes peering into the car was emotionless, filled with an unending coldness that was about to explode along with his mind; his state was especially highlighted with how half his face was illuminated by the moonlight while the other half was cloaked in darkness, split into two clear states of light and dark.

Swloop —-

Pei Ran had originally been using his hands to prop up his body, but who could have expected that the leather seats were a bit slippery and he fell with a big whoop right onto the floor. He hissed in pain, holding his waist and about to get back up when out of the corner of his eye, a spark of light entered his vision and the car door was opened.

Wafting into his face was a thick stench of blood, so thick it was almost suffocating. Pei Ran was the most afraid of this kind of scent and he subconsciously dropped his head back, scooting further inside the car.

Qu Yan, who had been silently watching his retreat, suddenly laughed. With both hands behind his back, he leaned slightly into the car in a very obedient manner. But behind his back hid a sharp blade with just the pointed tip exposed.

Pei Ran gave a glance at the trails of blood on the side of his face, and his senses slowly came back to him, 

“You’ve awakened an ability?”

The smile on Qu Yan’s face grew even deeper at this, but on a closer look, there was no emotion in his eyes at all. He squeezed into the car and the scent of blood became even stronger. His tone was light and calm, almost delighted even, as he said, 

“Yes, I have……”

He lifted his hand, a large pile of orbs in his palm shining in the dark of the night, so much brighter than diamonds. Qu Yan’s fingers slowly opened up and those orbs fell down like grains of sand and landed on Pei Ran’s legs.

Pei Ran’s sharp eyes found that these orbs had not been wiped clean, with blood still remaining, and he reflexively kicked them away, afraid of dirtying his clothes.

Qu Yan leaned over to pick up the crystal orbs one by one, looking quite pitiful, as he said in a tone of voice that was a bit pitiful and also had a bit of humor, yet frightening enough to cause goosebumps, 

“Do you not like them? I had dug these out especially for you……”

As he said this, his eyes kept staring at Pei Ran’s lips, as if the moment the other said no, he would feed these hard and sharp orbs, one by one, right down into his stomach.

Pei Ran responded automatically, 

TL Tidbits:

This and the previous chapter has been brought to you by a very sick translator haha (thankfully nothing related to the pandemic), but that has made me quite late in realizing that I missed saying Happy Lunar New Year to everyone, so here’s a belated one haha. Hopefully all you Galactic Judges stay safe and healthy throughout this new year and see you in the next chapter!
