44: The Hunt

Mama is in a bind, she could not decide.

Then let me help her decide.

Ning Ning reached out towards the Masked Man. "Give it to me."

Under the pale-white street light, a smiling mask was looking at her.

"The one you want the most is me." Ning Ning asked in reply, "Isn't it?"

She had long known that she was the Masked Man's first choice, he only switched his target to Mama when he could not get what he wanted.

A laughter rang out from beneath the mask, it had a hint of slyness of someone who had had their way. It was enough to let you suspect his motive for luring Ning Yu Ren, was it to lure Ning Ning then force her to accept the ticket in his hand?

As he was about to hand the ticket over to Ning Ning, he suddenly seemed to have heard something from one side of his ears.

"...That was quick." He tsk-ed, then turned and ran before he could hand the ticket over to Ning Ning.

He looked big and tall but he made no sound when he ran. The white prison uniform was fluttering in the air, as you looked at him from afar he looked like a paper person twirling in the wind.

Then, Ning Ning also heard the sound.

What sound was it? Footsteps, and...

A figure galloped past her the moment she turned her head.

White socks, black cloth shoes, carrying a bulging bag, with a snow-white mask on his face that was covered in raging flames.

It was the Doorman.

"Where do you think you're going?" He let out a ferocious laugh towards the direction the Masked Man had escaped to. He chased after the Masked Man, leaving a trail of flames behind his mask. The flames burned and danced dyeing the surrounding air in crimson.

Something fell out of his pocket from behind him. It fell to the ground and spun around twice. Ning Ning bent over and picked it up.

It was a mask.

She held the mask and looked up in the direction the Doorman had left. Although he had already left, the air was still filled with the smell of something burnt, it was quite pungent.

"What, what was that?" Ning Yu Ren's legs were wobbly from being scared, she held herself up on the wall. "Was that a human?"

Was he a human?

Were they humans?

Ning Ning also wanted to know the answer to this question.

The sound of the commotion had finally attracted people, a few residents turned on their lights and opened their windows. Someone poked their head out, a few people ran over from a short distance away, there seemed to be a few familiar faces, a few familiar voices.

"The crew is here for us." Ning Ning turned back. "Let's go back."

Ning Yu Ren unexpectedly took a step back and shook her head.

"I'm not going back. It's useless if I go back like this anyway." She fell silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up and gnashed her teeth. "35 Rouge Street, right?"

Ning Ning was stunned, then answered with helplessness and bitterness, "Yes."

The two of them arrived at 35 Rouge Street. When the two familiar clusters of lanterns appeared, when the words Life Theater reflected within Ning Ning's eyes, she actually felt relief.
