157: Section 157

With their heads slightly lowered, there was no conversation between them.

However, anyone could tell at a glance that they were all together.

Especially above their heads, there was an eye-catching talent trait.

[Fanatic (Blue): A mad believer who has forgotten the self and devoted themselves entirely to the religion]

"Blood Drop Cultists?"

Lin Yi's eyes narrowed, and his brows furrowed deeply.

He turned back and followed Shen Mengyi onto the bus without a word.

"Let's sit here; it'll be more convenient when we get off later!"

Shen Mengyi hadn't noticed the presence of those Blood Drop Cultists.

There weren't many people on the bus, and there were plenty of empty seats.

She turned back and said to Lin Yi with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Yi also smiled: "Sure!"

After the two of them sat in the seats near the door, it didn't take long before the five Blood Drop Cultists in black hoodies also boarded the bus one after another.

With no other corners available, the five Blood Drop Cultists sat on the left and right of Lin Yi and Shen Mengyi with tacit understanding.

The distance between them wasn't too far, with only two rows of seats in between.

Looking at their movements and mannerisms, they were more like unconscious Puppets controlled by someone behind the scenes.

Even as the bus pulled away, the passengers hadn't filled all the seats.

"Lin Yi, those people are so strange!"

"From the moment they got on until now, they've all been sitting there without moving, keeping their heads lowered!"

After riding for three stops, Shen Mengyi finally noticed the oddity of the five Blood Drop Cultists.

Ever since they boarded, they had been sitting upright, not looking around, and not speaking.

They hadn't even moved a muscle.

Forget Shen Mengyi; even an elderly lady would find their behavior and mannerisms too bizarre.

Lin Yi smiled: "Maybe they just don't like to move!"

"That can't be it, right? How could anyone stay still for so long?"

Shen Mengyi continued whispering.

Lin Yi didn't answer again.

If they weren't on a bus with other passengers around, he would have killed these Blood Drop Cultists right then and there.

How could he have tolerated them being around for so long?

However, he was also a bit puzzled.

Were these Blood Drop Cultists coming for him, or for Shen Mengyi?

If they were coming for him, it would be easy to handle.

He could just find an empty place and take care of them.

But if they were coming for Shen Mengyi... it was fortunate that he had personally walked her home today.

Otherwise, there might be news about a family being wiped out tomorrow, or perhaps news of Shen Mengyi going missing.

Twenty-some minutes later, Shen Mengyi reached her stop.

With slightly flushed cheeks, she said: "I'm home, do you want to..."

"Let's go, I'll walk you home!"

"Mm..."

Shen Mengyi nodded gently.

The burning heat on her cheeks made her too embarrassed to look up.

The two walked one after the other off the back door of the bus.

On the way to Shen Mengyi's house, Lin Yi glanced back.

Sure enough, the five Blood Drop Cultists had followed them off.

Furthermore, they were following Lin Yi and Shen Mengyi at a leisurely pace.

Seeing this, the corners of Lin Yi's mouth curled up, and his heart settled.

He wasn't afraid of being followed by Blood Drop Cultists.

He was only worried that he wasn't their target, and if he unintentionally let them go, it would be even more troublesome.

A few minutes later, Lin Yi walked Shen Mengyi all the way to the bottom of her apartment building.

These were old buildings.

Although the exterior had been repainted, it was still hard to hide its age.

In fact, it was just like the old house Lin Yi lived in.

There was no so-called residential complex name; they were usually referred to by the community or street.

When they reached the entrance to the stairwell, Lin Yi smiled: "Is anyone home? Won't you invite me in for a glass of water?"

Chapter 131: I'll give you some credit, do you want it?

"Ah... this... home, home..."

Suddenly, Shen Mengyi's face turned bright red, and she couldn't even speak properly.

This was the first time she had accepted having a boy walk her home.

As a result, Lin Yi's words left her feeling a bit flustered.

Seeing her nervous expression, Lin Yi smiled: "Just kidding, hurry upstairs. Let me know when you get home!"

"Ah... mm, okay!"

Shen Mengyi spat out three words.

But these three words represented different emotions.

She then turned and walked into the stairwell.

Lin Yi stood downstairs, waiting for Shen Mengyi to arrive home.

As it turned out, not far away, the five Blood Drop Cultists who had followed them appeared once again.

They stood at the corner of the building, just as they had before.

They stood in a row, eerily.

With hats on their heads and their heads slightly lowered, it was impossible to see their full faces.

Lin Yi just glanced at them and ignored them.

A few minutes later, Shen Mengyi's smiling face appeared on the balcony.

Her uncle's home was on the fifth floor, and she waved at Lin Yi downstairs.

"Senior Brother Lin, I'm home!"

"Good!"

Lin Yi nodded and walked back in the direction he had come from.

Just as he passed by those few Blood Drop Cultists, Lin Yi wanted to verify whether they were coming for him or for Shen Mengyi.

So, he deliberately brushed past the five people.

But as a result, those five Blood Drop Cultists didn't turn around at all.

Instead, they headed straight for the stairwell.

"They really are after Shen Mengyi?"

A cold glint appeared in Lin Yi's eyes, and he lunged directly at those few Blood Drop Cultists.

Without any wasted words, a golden light slammed into the back of one of the cultists.

Boom— The person was smashed several meters away, crashing heavily to the ground.
