“Yi Xi

 is 

wearing the Prince of Lanling

’s mask

. He’s holding a sword and attacking people in the small town. He has wounded a few already!” screamed Yin Xinyue. 

“Hurry, 

let’s

 take a look!

 Also, b

ring something to defend yourselves!” I said. 

Yin Xinyue picked 

up a

 rake

, but I stopped her.

 “It’s dangerous

.

”

She changed her we

apon of choice

 to a bamboo stick people used to dust the blankets. 

We saw Li Mazi after 

we left the

 courtyard. 

When I saw

 his appearance, my eyes 

widened

 in surprise. He was wearing a tin bucket on his head

 and was holding

 two big pots. 

“You’re carrying such heavy items. Aren’t you afraid that they will weigh you down

? What if 

you can’t run fast enough?” I asked. 

Li Mazi considered my suggestion. Then, he gave me one of his pots. 

We headed outsid

e and saw

 the walk-ons 

run around

 madly. They were so flustered that they didn

’t even pay attention to 

the road. They almost bumped into us. After the horde 

ran 

away, I saw Team leader Xu. Two of his staff were supporting him to walk. 

It looked like he had 

serious wounds. 

“Are you okay?” I asked. 

“I hurt my leg while running

,

” 

h

e answered

. Then, he 

gave me a paper bag. “This is what you wanted. Mr. Zhang, are you sure you can subdue him with only the three of you? Do you want me to 

call the police

?” 

“Not yet. If the police 

get

 involved in this, the situation will turn worse,” I answered. 

Yi Xi was a famous actor. If the press brought this story to the 

public

, his future would be ruined. 

“How did he 

turn

 crazy?” I asked. 

“I don’t know. He suddenly rushed to the film crew and started to assault us. No one could stop him…” Team leader Xu was still scared. 

“You guys should go first. If I need anything, I’ll call you.” 

Mr. Xu nodded. 

I dropped the paper bag in the room

 and

 continued to 

head

 to town with Li Mazi and Yin Xinyue. We saw Yi Xi 

dash

 out of a small alley

. He was wearing the

 mask

, and t

he knife in his hand had blood on it. There was a vague black mist 

that swirled

 around him

. It gave 

him a murderous

 and 

eerie aura. I almost shivered when I saw 

it

. 

“Who da

res to

look

 down on me?! I

’ll

 kill you all!” 

Yi Xi’s voice 

sounded hoarse

. He then lunged toward us.

Li Mazi stammered

, 

“Who 

looked

 down on him this time? This boy 

is really too prideful

.” 

I 

called him loudly, 

“Yi Xi, handsome Yi, we

’ve

 always respect

ed 

and admired you. We’re on your side! If you have something you loathe, please tell us. We can help you 

deal with

 it.” 

“Hmph! 

Do you dare

 look down on me

?

 I’ll kill you all!” 

He wielded his knife

 and ran 

toward us. His eyes under the mask looked blood-red. I didn’t know what had stimulated him,

 but it had turned 

him 

crazy.

“We can’t 

reason with him

! Just 

r

un!” Li Mazi was scared. 

“Run

 my butt

! Li Mazi, you and I will stop him. Yin Xinyue, use your bamboo stick to strike the knife in his hand

,”

 I advised.

Li Mazi and I 

took the lead. We stood there 

with the pot lids held high to parry. Yin Xinyue stood in the middle, behind us. Our formation was like a military march during the war.  

“Hey, how many slashes 

can this

 wooden pot lid bear?” muttered Li Mazi. 

“Don’t be flustered. It

 will only get

 worse!” I scoffed. 

Yi Xi roared and lunged toward us. 

He slashed

 my pot lid

, and t

he impact was 

enough

 to 

make

 my arm numb. Yin Xinyue used her bamboo stick to hit the back of Yi Xi’s hand. 

Yi Xi was mad. He wanted to get through the two of us to slash Yin Xinyue. I screamed

 and asked 

Li Mazi to stop him. 

We 

stood guard on

 both sides. Yi Xi struggled hard

 to pull 

his right hand from the space between u

s, swinging his blade 

disorderly. The blood-dripping blade 

almost brushed past

 my face. 

Yin Xinyue kept hitting his hand. However, Yi Xi didn’t drop his knife

. 

Suddenly, the bamboo stick 

broke in half

. The broken piece cut the back of his hand, which made him bleed hard. 

“It

’s not 

working

, Brother

 Zhang

! H

e

’s holding

 it too tightly!” Yin Xinyue was so 

scared that

 she was about to cry.

At the same time, Li Mazi and I couldn’t hold him for much longer. Yi Xi was unimaginably strong. Underneath the mask, he grunted like a crazy wild beast. 

I reached one hand to take the tin bucket off Li Mazi’s head

 and 

waited for the right chance and put it on the han

d Yi Xi used to hold the knife

. 

“Press him down!”

I screamed

 and used 

my body to press Yi Xi onto the ground. 

“Li Mazi, take his knife, 

now

!” 

Li Mazi used the pod lid

 and hit Yi Xi’s

 hand a few times 

before

stopping. 

“What if I

break his wrist?”

“Just do it. We can’t worry that much!” 

In the meantime

, I reached my hand to take the mask off his face. However, Yi Xi was struggling hard. I couldn’t touch his mask. 

“

Bang!

”

Yi Xi finally dropped the knife.

“Li Mazi, hold his head!” 

We joined hands

, and we were finally

 able to keep Yi Xi still. 

T

he moment I pried his mask away, I saw Yi Xi’s bloodshot eyes. 

He even had

 foam 

at the corners of 

his mout

h.

All of a sudden, he tried 

to bite me. I reacted fast enough so he only bit my sleeve

, which he tore in half.

“

This isn’t

 right!” I was surprised. “I took off his mask!” 

“Brother Zhang, what should we do now?” asked Yin Xinyue. 

I threw the mask to Yin Xinyue

 and asked 

her to find Team leader Xu

. I needed him to 

bring more people here. It seemed we couldn’t wait until night. We 

had to

 stop the Prince of Lanling now! 

I took out a 

Ksitigarbha

 Talisman. I didn’t 

know if it would work

 or not

, but I decided to paste it onto his body. However, 

Yi Xi bit the talisman, chewed it

, 

then swallowed it. 

“Brother, we’ve 

never

 experienced anything 

like

this

before.”

 Li Mazi sounded worried. 

“He’s not possessed,

 but he

 lost his mind. I’m sure someone stimulated him 

too much

!” I furrowed my brows. 

Yi Xi struggled hard. 

He quickly

 drained 

our energies

.

Li Mazi asked, “Isn’t he tired? Should we hit him unconscious?” 

“

Don’t

 hit him 

too

 hard,” I said. 

“

I’ll

 try

.”

 Li Mazi sounded eager. 

“

You need to be sure

!” I wore a wry smile. 

Li Mazi asked me to pin Yi Xi down. 

Then, he

 bent and picked up the pot lid to hit the man.

However

, Yi Xi pushed me away

. He sprang 

up and ran away. 

“Not good. After him!” Li Mazi and I hurried to chase after him. 

However, Yi Xi was 

too

 fast. After running 

through 

a few alleys, 

we lost sight of him

.

Yin Xinyue called me. “I’ve brought some people with me. We’re waiting for you at the place 

we

 parted.

”

“

Another thing, I think I know why he became crazy…” Yin Xinyue sounded hurried. 

“Yeah?” 

“Search his name on the 

I

nternet!” 

I hung up the call and used my phone to search 

up his name. 

All the search results 

that came up were, ‘

Yi Xi’s gay

’ and

‘

Yi Xi kissed a man

.’

 I 

opened 

my eyes wide in shock. It was a fatal 

blow

 to Yi Xi! 

Moreover, it happened at such a crucia

l moment

. If 

this

wasn’t

 a coincidence, then someone 

wanted

 to destroy Yi Xi! 

At this

 moment, I heard some noise. I turned to Li Mazi

 and saw 

him 

browsing 

the 

I

nternet as well. He 

saw me looking at him and

 thought that I 

was suspecting 

him

.

 “Are you thinking that I was the one who released the news? Although I don’t 

approve of

 homosexual love, I know 

that the situation is serious, so

 I 

definitely won’t

 talk ill about 

him on the Internet

!” 

While Li Mazi was talking, Yi Xi appeared on the roof behind him

. His face looked

scary

.

I cried, “Watch behind you!”
