His heart skipped a beat, and Yang Xiao immediately sensed something was wrong. He quickly picked up a candle and spun around in place, but failed to find where the ghostly shadows were hiding.
Moments later, a chilling hypothesis formed in his mind, "Sopa, come here, come shine the light on the shadow behind me!"
Once Sopa arrived, he crouched down and lowered the candle, and the sight that followed made Sopa's face turn pale instantly.
Yang Xiao's shadow on the ground became distorted under the candlelight, and it was clearly visible that two shadows, one light and one dark, were overlapping.
The most terrifying part was, the distorted dark shadow raised its hand and clasped Yang Xiao's shadow's ankle in a way no living person could manage.
Datou also hurried over and decisively lit all the candles on site. As the candlelight gradually strengthened, the twisted ghostly shadow slowly faded, eventually receding into the darkness, disappearing completely.
