　　Right as they heard the sound of the explosion, Chen Jiaw.a.n.g and Wu Jia turned around, and the latter put herself in front of Bai Ze.

　　"It probably has something to do with those police sirens. We should leave…" Chen Jiaw.a.n.g glanced in the direction of the explosion.

　　"Let's stay for a bit longer. We might get to see something interesting." Bai Ze peeked from behind Wu Jia and said in a rather amused tone.

　　As Bai Ze finished her sentence, a man suddenly appeared at the corner of the street and began sprinting towards them.

　　'There's something wrong with him…' Chen Jiaw.a.n.g's palm began sweating as he felt a slight sense of danger.

　　Chen Jiaw.a.n.g exchanged looks with the man, who seemed to have been attracted to Wu Jia's unique air. It was a man of medium build, with thick eyebrows twisted into an expression of panic. The man glanced back at the police cars, and then stared at Wu Jia with a desperate, devious smile — he spat on the ground and started running towards her.

　　"What is he up to?" Chen Jiaw.a.n.g's heart skipped a beat as he made ready to intercept the man.

　　"Stop right there!" Chen Jiaw.a.n.g yelled at the top of his lungs, putting himself in front of Wu Jia and Bai Ze.

　　The man let out a scornful smile and continued accelerating.

　　"s.h.i.+t!" Chen Jiaw.a.n.g now realized that the man was targeting them. Somehow, he found the courage to rush toward the man and tackle him rather than backing down. Instead of the painful impact he expected, he pa.s.sed through the man as if the latter was made of thin air and fell to the ground.

　　"What happened?" Chen Jiaw.a.n.g turned his head and crawled up, only to see the man staring back at him with the same look of surprise.

　　"Why, why are you here too?" The man asked in a confused voice.

　　"Interesting…" Bai Ze said as she took a big bite from her apple. The street, which had been a busy mess, was now completely empty. The crowd, the wailing sirens, and even the thick smoke were all gone.

　　"Get on the ground or she dies!" The man suddenly jumped up and grabbed Bai Ze by the neck, quickly surveying the street with his eyes and showing relief upon realizing they were alone.

　　"What are you up to?" Chen Jiaw.a.n.g yelled while Wu Jia shrieked in terror.

　　"Shut up and go inside!" The man threatened, picked up a fruit knife from the stand and put it against Bai Ze's neck.
