The night was deep.
After devouring Yin Souls for two days and nights, the Shadow Demon's wounds had healed, and it returned to the urban area of Y City. It drifted into the hospital, crawled up the walls on either side, pale in color, and hurried along the walls to the outside of Ye Yuqiao's ward.
At that moment, on the bench outside the ward, Tang Chao and Xie Xiaofeng were seated; both bowed their heads in silence, staring at their phones. The white light overhead cast their shadows diagonally across the bench.
Half a minute later, a sinister smile suddenly crossed Tang Chao's face, his eyes brimming with malevolence. He pocketed his phone and stood up in front of Xie Xiaofeng.
Seeing Tang Chao's shadow loom over him, Xie Xiaofeng looked up in confusion and asked, "Tang Chao, what's the matter with you?"
With a "slap," Tang Chao struck Xie Xiaofeng across the face.
