Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 280 Grave Digging
Zhao Yingkong silently leaned against the window not far away, also looking out the window.

"You should have noticed when Michael came over earlier?" Mu Xiang asked in his mind.

Zhao Yingkong replied without hesitation, "Yes."

"Is it a perception of malice, murderous intent?" Mu Xiang turned to look at Zhao Yingkong. He immediately realized he had only been speaking in his mind, and turning his head like that seemed a bit silly.

“That’s right, my understanding of him is that he’s an assassin with special abilities.” Zhao Yingkong frowned slightly. “He seems to be able to make people naturally ignore his presence.”

Mu Xiang adjusted his glasses and watched as Zhang Jie drove straight to the cemetery. This startled Michael, who was moving a tombstone, and he quickly carried the tombstone to his car.

Zhang Jie complained inwardly, "What kind of behavior is this?"

As Zhang Jie approached the spot where the tombstone had disappeared, he couldn't help but gasp. Judy Miles' grave had been dug up, revealing a small but not insignificant tomb, and inside was a coffin. Without even opening it, Zhang Jie could see the skeleton inside using his spiritual power.

"Really... just some young guys playing around, how did they get killed?" Zhang Jie clicked his tongue, then picked up the walkie-talkie and called some people over to restore the grave.

Mu Xiang teased, "Don't you know that Michael, like Jason, is a fighter against prostitution?"

“We can handle this kind of thing!” Zhang Jie glanced at Zheng Zha in the car with a wicked smile. “I just placed a mental imprint on him, so now I can see his every move through the mental energy sharing system. Yes, as you requested, I placed a discreet one… You’re being overly cautious.”

Besides Zheng Zha, the police car also contained the psychologist and assistant they had brought along... Long Taobing and Zhu Wen. Of course, Zhu Wen's bodyguard was also with them.

Zhu Wen saw Michael Myers, but she wasn't as relaxed as the others. Although the veterans had told her that she could easily defeat Michael at the beginning of a fight, she was still a little nervous. She activated her Eye of Impermanence, and the death aura of everyone in the car was presented in a more direct form.

"Their death aura has nothing to do with Michael... only mine and hers have it?" Zhu Wen couldn't help but glance at her bodyguard.

Long Taobing seemed to read her mind and smiled at her, "Don't worry, we'll protect you... By the way, be very careful with that protective shield. If you're completely unaware that the other party is a threat to you, the shield won't work."

Zhu Wen thanked her softly, then looked out the window. Only when no strangers were near could she confidently expose her eyes.

Meanwhile, Laurie's two best friends, Linda and Annie, were excitedly discussing their plans for the evening. Halloween was a night of revelry for young people—parties, dates… and even things that could go further—all things that could be done without worry on this night.

Laurie wasn't as enthusiastic about such activities as her peers, and she also had to go to the Doyle's house to take care of Tommy. When she heard that the two were planning to use their names to invite another boy out, she quickly objected.

After a bit of playful banter, Linda turned to the three people by the window and asked, "Hey, are you guys planning to come to the party tonight?"

Seeing the three looking over, Annie waved with a grin. They didn't have any strict party plans. In fact, quite a few of their peers had accepted the invitation, but aside from those grounded or with other plans, not many would actually hang out together. Annie had already planned to throw a party at her own home, inviting whoever she could.

Liu Xi and Zhao Yingkong remained silent, turning to look at Mu Xiang. Mu Xiang sighed inwardly; why did he always have to be the one to handle social interactions?

"Oh, how many people are there now?" Mu Xiang smiled perfunctorily.

Anne and her two friends exchanged glances: "Right now, there should be five or six people. If I successfully get Paul out, he can bring even more of his friends."

Mu Xiang wanted to laugh when he heard this, because Paul, who never showed his face in the movie and was always confined to his home, was actually the director John Carpenter.

"Yes, if you have time, let's come over too," Mu Xiang replied.

Zhao Yingkong glanced at Mu Xiang but didn't say anything.

Linda teased, "Wow, you can actually represent both of them? Why don't the three of you go on a date yourselves?" [I have no objection, it's not a loss... but if we don't come, you're doomed.]

Liu Xi smiled politely: "Then I'll take my leave tonight."

There was nothing worth talking about in the chemistry class, and Mu Xiang was getting even more bored. Several times he wanted to use his super brain to finish all the workbooks in his hand in one go.

After school, Zhao Yingkong silently stood up and then turned to look at Mu Xiang.

Mu Xiang was talking to Zhang Jie when he suddenly realized that they had a day off after finishing their morning classes.

"You enjoy going to class so much?" Liu Xi asked casually, sitting at the next table.

She always seemed to speak with a sarcastic tone, but it didn't sound harsh.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "Sorry for my occupational hazard."

Then he glanced at the primary school not far away: "Sorry, I'll go first, we'll go back together later."

The next moment, Mu Xiang's figure disappeared from the classroom, leaving two silent girls looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Should we go back first?"

"Ah."

Meanwhile, Tommy, who had just been bullied by some older kids, saw that the pumpkin was being crushed, so he had no choice but to put it on the hallway and walk home by himself.

Little did he know, a man in overalls wearing a white mask was watching him from outside the barbed wire fence. As Tommy walked further and further away, the man got into his car and drove off brazenly on the road, following the little boy not far away.

Just as he was about to turn, a whooshing sound came as a soccer ball smashed through the passenger window and hit him squarely in the face.

"Sorry, I probably didn't mean to." A lazy voice rang out as Mu Xiang ran over from the other side. Judging from his movements, he really did seem like a high school student who had accidentally caused trouble.

The pale mask twisted around, revealing dark eye sockets that held no human gaze. Michael stared coldly at Mu Xiang, while Mu Xiang, seemingly innocent, rested his head against the shattered windowpane, silently meeting his gaze.

"Captain Kirk's mask?" Mu Xiang said casually, his hand resting on the car. "You have excellent taste."

Michael tried to step on the gas, but the car seemed to be broken and wouldn't move an inch.

"What I mean is, can you give me back the ball?" Mu Xiang said with a smile.

Michael paused for a moment, then threw the soccer ball heavily out the window.

Mu Xiang reached out and caught it: "Thank you, thank you. Have a pleasant night." Then, he turned and walked to the other side.

Michael watched Mu Xiang's retreating figure in the rearview mirror. Tommy was long gone by then. He thought for a moment, then turned around and followed him.
