At this moment, the situation in the shopping mall changed again.

The previous chaotic scene disappeared, and everyone gathered in the lobby of the mall.

I approached with my daughter and saw a row of red-clothed people kneeling on the stage in the middle.

"Big brother, what happened?"

I quietly asked a bald middle-aged man in his forties.

He was quite straightforward and explained, "The attackers are all red-clothed people. They are all evil spirits who have taken over their bodies. We must unite to protect ourselves and completely eliminate these evil spirits!"

Eliminate?

I was stunned for a moment and asked, "What about these people on the stage...?"

The bald man gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, the evil spirits will be burned to death!"

I was shocked and looked at my daughter dressed in red. I suddenly felt a strong sense of danger.

This time it wasn't from ghosts and monsters, but from humans!

I quickly turned around and shielded my daughter in front of me, hurriedly taking her away.

The bald man looked at my back strangely, as if he had discovered something. Suddenly, he shouted, "Red-clothed people!!!"

I pulled my daughter and ran frantically, escaping before the others could react.

...

The search for the red-clothed people was still ongoing.

I hid and moved around with my daughter, watching as a couple was discovered by people.

The captured young man was wearing a red suit, his head was covered, and he became like a wooden puppet, at the mercy of others.

The girl struggled desperately to save her boyfriend, but she was powerless against the out-of-control crowd.

"Please spare him, he won't harm anyone, really!"

The girl pleaded in tears, but people completely ignored her pleas and continued to push her boyfriend towards the central stage.

"Little girl, he is an evil spirit, don't be deceived by him!"

"All red-clothed people are ghosts, we can't let them go!"

"Burn him to death!"

"Burn him to death..."

The crowd surrounded them, clamoring loudly, and eventually formed a wave of condemnation.

Anyone who wanted to voice a different opinion was suppressed and couldn't make a sound.

Soon, flames soared from the central stage, and a strong smell of burnt flesh filled the entire shopping mall.

It turned out that the taste of human flesh wasn't much different from other meats!

I hid with my daughter in a dark corner, trembling, witnessing the cruelty and absurdity before my eyes!

I saw the leaders with bloodshot red eyes, just like those who had eaten two-tone ice cream.

They became cold and ruthless, adept at inciting others.

But what shocked me even more were the followers, as if they had completely lost the ability to think independently.

They couldn't see the red eyes of the leaders, turned a blind eye to the tragedy in front of them, and even cruelly cheered!

It was as if by executing the red-clothed people, some kind of mission could be accomplished!

"Mom, will you leave me?"

My daughter suddenly asked me in a low voice, revealing fear for the first time since she became red-clothed.

I tightly wrapped her in her black coat, embracing her completely.

"Never!"
