Sheldon smiled slightly, “Don't worry. My father knows who you are and recognizes your capabilities. In fact, he
wants me to bring you to see him now.”
A sense of relief washed over Lucy. “Thank you, Mr. Guerrero, for your kind recommendation.”
“In that case, don't just stand there. Hurry up and see Old Mr. Guerrero. Don't let him wait too long.”
Sheldon led Lucy into the elevator.
Inside, he instructed her, “Ms. Lucy, there are a few things you should know beforehand. My father has just
completed his cataract surgery. Hence, his eyes cannot be exposed to light. As a result, please don't be surprised to
see his room enveloped in darkness, all right?”
Lucy nodded, “I understand. By the way, I happen to know a few excellent eye specialists whom I can recommend
to Old Mr. Guerrero. Perhaps, they can be of help to him.”
Sheldon replied, “Sure, you can suggest it to him when the opportunity arises.”
That opportunity will come if you survive today. Or else, it would be nothing but wishful thinking.

The moment Lucy stepped in, she felt a shiver down her spine.
Not only were they in total darkness, but the atmosphere was also exceptionally strange and eerie, causing a sense
of dread to swell within her.
Before she could digest the situation, Sheldon opened the bedroom door. “Ms. Lucy, please come in. My father is
waiting for you.”
“All right, all right.”
Desperately suppressing her fears, Lucy followed Sheldon into the bedroom.
Inside the pitch-black room, Lucy couldn't see a thing at all, causing her fears to intensify.
Sheldon remarked, “Dad, I have brought Lucy. Please enjoy.”
All right!
Sheldon added, “I'm taking my leave now. Please stay and accompany my dad.”
Crack!
The bedroom door closed.
Overwhelmed with fear, Lucy felt the urge to leave. However, the moment she turned around, she ran right into a
wall.
I can't see anything at all!
Lucy gathered her courage and suggested, “Old Mr. Guerrero, why don't we chat outside. It's just too dark in here.”
“He he...”
The only response she heard was eerie laughter that caused her hair to stand on end.
Lucy continued, “Old Mr. Guerrero, coincidentally, I know a few eye specialists who are the best in the business, and
they will be able to cure your eyesight. Why don't I get them to come over and treat you now?”
“Ha... Ha...”
The chilling laugh continued to echo.
Lucy had no sooner felt as if she was about to break down than a feeble voice was suddenly heard. “Help... Help...”
What's that sound? There's someone else here who's crying out for help! Can there be... danger?

The scene that greeted her came as a shock.
In front of her stood a figure who was entirely transparent. He had a green face and razor-sharp teeth.
Floating in the air, he let out an insidious laugh and was the spitting image of a demon.
Sitting next to him was an old and haggard-looking old man, who stared at Lucy and cried out, “Save me... Save
me...”
At first glance, Lucy recognized who he was.
Given that his features resembled Sheldon, she knew without a doubt that he was Sheldon's father.
In that case, who is the transparent figure? No, wait, to be precise, what in the world is it?
With no time to lose, Lucy turned around to flee.
Unfortunately, the transparent figure had seized her body in the blink of an eye.
As her mind went blank, she was no longer in physical control of herself.
Nevertheless, she could still feel the transparent figure chewing away on her consciousness. Or perhaps, it was her
soul that was being eaten up.
Feasting on Lucy's soul, King licked his lips. “Delicious, this is simply delicious.”
