Nightmare Assault Chapter 11: Stories

Man Li’s face dropped as if he had thought of something. He picked up the sports shoes and ran out. He rushed down the stairs. Everyone followed. Fatty and Jiang Cheng stayed at the back of the room. When they passed the boy’s bedroom, Fatty was dragged into it by Jiang Cheng.
