Nightmare Assault Chapter 155: Friend

Chen Xiaomeng’s face darkened. The sharp end of a hairpin slipped out of her left sleeve. Jiang Cheng was silent for a few seconds before he suddenly said, “I was joking to ease the mood.” He raised his head to say officiously, “I’ll go first.”

Chen Xiaomeng put the hairpin back and moved to let him through. Jiang Cheng silently moved through the door. He looked out through the creak. Pressured by Chen Xiaomeng, he slowly opened the door. He waited a little bit before leaving. The whole inn was silent.

They didn’t walk up the stairs but planned to examine the first floor. After all, if they went upstairs and they were ambushed, they would be stranded upstairs. Chen Xiaomeng stayed about two metres away from Jiang Cheng. She had made the decision that if there were really an ambush, she would abandon Jiang Cheng and rush to the third floor to grab Qian Jianxiu.

Then, they came to the kitchen door. That was the only location they hadn’t explored on the first floor. If they hadn’t found anything there, there was a high chance the villagers would not have arrived at An Ping Town.

That would be good news, but they didn’t look happy. That would also mean that their friend had succeeded and might have already left the world through the door.

Regardless, this had already happened. They slipped into the kitchen.
