Chapter 55 The Long Street Slaughterhouse (16)

As she used her strength to slightly turn the animals' heads so that their eyes could no longer stare at her, Lu Jinzhao heard the rustling sounds suddenly become more frequent!

It was as if her actions had angered them.

The sounds were rapidly approaching her!

This was not good news; cold sweat instantly broke out on Lu Jinzhao's forehead.

But there's no turning back now. Even if she stops moving, those things making noise behind her might not let her go.

It would be better to burn our bridges.

Lu Jinzhao's eyes hardened. She reached into her pocket and touched the wooden box and sheepskin. Without hesitation, she quickly twisted the swaying iron hook and ran decisively to the location of the next string of heads.

After she successfully turned a series of heads around, she could feel that the thorny "gaze" that had been accompanies her since she entered the slaughterhouse had become weaker.

it works.

Having confirmed this, Lu Jinzhao breathed a slight sigh of relief, but she still dared not let her guard down; in fact, she became even more anxious.

Because those dense, cacophony of sounds behind us were still getting closer!

Each time she successfully looked away from a string of heads, the sounds became even more rapid.

Nine meters, eight meters, seven meters
Soon, right behind her, they kept attacking her!
"Just one last string left."

Once this chain is dealt with, no "eyes" in this area will be able to see you.

The feeling of being watched was extremely faint and was about to disappear.

However, the voices behind them were already extremely close!
She reached out to touch the last set of heads, and when she raised her hand, she realized that her fingers were trembling slightly.

Fear, anxiety, and tension caused her body to react involuntarily, even though her mind was relatively clear.

But there was no time to worry about that now.

She took a deep breath, controlled her trembling hands, and pressed them against the rotting sheep's head before pushing it away forcefully.

Originally, the heads were strung together, and she only needed to push one of them to rotate the iron rod that strung them together. But this time, when she pushed the sheep's head, only the sheep's head slowly turned to the side.

Lu Jinzhao's face suddenly turned pale.

Such an accident at this moment is definitely aimed at taking her life!

She didn't have time to think too much and immediately reached out to start turning the heads of the other animals.

The voices behind me grew closer.

Five meters, four meters, three meters
Fortunately, she could turn her head very quickly, two, three, four times.
"It'll be ready soon, almost there."

She only needs a little time!
Lu Jinzhao's fingers twitched nervously. Due to the immense pressure and fear, sweat streamed into her eyes, but she dared not blink.

"There's only one left!"

But she could also sense that those things behind her were already very close.

A series of screaming buzzes filled her brain; instinct was warning her that danger and death were approaching.

Her legs were trembling, and she wanted to run away from this awful place immediately, but she managed to restrain herself.

"We can't stop, if we stop we'll really die!"

Even though every cell and hair in his body was screaming for him to run away, Lu Jinzhao stubbornly stood still and kept rubbing those rotting heads.

Until she felt a cold touch on her ankle.

In that instant, a chilling sensation spread from her ankles throughout her entire body, and Lu Jinzhao felt as if her body had been frozen solid, unable to react at all.

The intense fear and sense of impending death caused her body to experience phantom pain, her scalp to tingle, and goosebumps to rise all over her body.

Even so, Lu Jinzhao did not fall into a state of mental blankness. She gritted her teeth and did not choose to immediately reach for the wooden box in her pocket. Instead, she raised her hand and turned the last head around! When the last pair of "eyes" could no longer look at her, at the same moment, the cold touch on her ankle disappeared.

In just a moment, Lu Jinzhao seemed to be a fish thrown back into the pond, regaining the ability to breathe and live.

She remained in that position for several seconds, waiting for the stress response in her body to subside, before taking a deep breath, her eyes darting around anxiously as she recalled what had just happened.

"What is that?"

Lu Jinzhao was still shaken by what had just touched her ankle. She hesitated for a moment before turning back to look at the ground.

Nothing.

Only a dirty mark remained on her white ankle, like a fingerprint, reminding her that something had indeed approached her.

She stood there and listened carefully for a while longer.

The rustling sounds completely disappeared.

She should be safe for now.

"I don't think I've broken any taboos."

"Could it be because of this cow?"

She brought a cow, but not someone whose zodiac sign is ox, which is why she encountered danger.
However, since no prohibitions were violated, it was not a situation that would necessarily lead to death, but rather a crisis that could be easily resolved.

Although the situation just now was extremely dangerous, compared to that, simply turning a few heads in one direction could indeed be considered "simple".

"Once we get through this, everything should be fine."

Lu Jinzhao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, not daring to stand there to rest any longer, and led the cow deeper into the slaughterhouse.

Without the interference of those "gazes," she didn't walk far before she saw the shadow of the slaughterhouse.

Indeed, as Wei Ling said, it was extraordinary. With just one glance, Lu Jinzhao could confirm that this was not a slaughterhouse used to kill animals.

No matter how you look at it, it was used to slaughter humans.

A chill ran through Lu Jinzhao, but for some reason, he did not see the "butcher" that Wei Ling had mentioned.

She breathed a sigh of relief, as her current condition was far from good; it was better not to see ghosts than not to see them at all.

"Could it be that the commotion just now attracted the butcher away?"

It's unclear, but there's no need to investigate further.

Lu Jinzhao tentatively tied the rope holding the cow to the slaughtering platform, and then slowly backed away.

No abnormalities were found.

She kept backing away until she could no longer see the slaughtering platform and the cows, and then gradually returned to the entrance, without any further abnormalities.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The door closed automatically, just as it had when Wei Ling arrived.

Lu Jinzhao raised his hand to push the door, but his hand was still a little sore and weak. He couldn't push the door open when he first grasped the doorknob.

She was stunned for a moment, her mind racing, and she almost thought something had gone wrong again. But after she managed to push the door open again, she realized that it was because her body had been weak.

Outside the door, Wei Ling stood a little further away and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Jinzhao come out.

"You're finally out." Her tone was a mixture of relief and worry.

"What happened to you? Why were you inside for an hour?!"
