The Psychopath Meets Indigo
Chapter 8 - Escape

If there's no hiding place.

At least we can run.

But can running save you?

***

Xiao immediately walked even faster, then lowered his head in order to remove any trace of the burly man.

Slowly Xiao hid amidst the hordes of men. He tried to calm himself down in order to blend in perfectly.

"Ehem.." it seems that one of the men from the horde, was aware of Xiao's existence.

"Sorry, I was standing here first" Xiao said as he opened his mask, so his voice could be heard clearly. He spoke with awkwardness.

"You.." one of the men who was wearing a leather jacket, suddenly glared at Xiao. He immediately checked his phone, as if realizing that the person they were looking for was in sight.

"Who are you?" peek Xiao as he stepped back.

"Your father and mother who sent us, they missed their only child." said the burly man who suddenly appeared from the side.

Xiao's eyes instantly faded, he immediately ran with all his might. The hordes of men who looked more like thugs were also seen running around to chase after Xiao.

"Don't let go!!!" screeched the burly man who seemed to be the head of the horde.

Xiao's breathing started to fret, but he continued to force himself to run. Passing people who are passing around him. Sometimes he accidentally bumped into people.

Now that Xiao was running down the sidewalk, he tried to look back. But the thugs still seem to be trying to catch up to him.

Xiao accidentally bumped into the cart containing fruits in front of him. As a result a middle-aged woman who was carrying him immediately nagged him.

"I'm sorry, sa.." I haven't spoken the sentence, and suddenly someone's arm is around his neck.

"Mkkkk...." Xiao felt difficulty breathing, he tried his best to let go of the arm.

"Gurgaghh!"

BUKS!

Xiao used his foot to step on the foot of the man who had almost made him lose his breath. The man immediately groaned, and released his arm.

BUKS! DHUAK!

Deftly, Xiao immediately raised his fist to the face of the man in the leather jacket. Then add the attack to the vital area.

When Xiao tried to run back, he was immediately shocked by the arrival of all the gangs of thugs who had been standing around him.

"Haha! you won't be able to run now, you can't!" screech the man in a leather jacket that still holds his vital area.

Without a second thought all the thugs tried to attack Xiao. Xiao deftly tried to avoid, although the man in a leather jacket had hit the area of his cheek. The people around who initially stood watching them, now ran in a tatters to make themselves saluted.

Xiao tried to step back until he finally slammed, because he accidentally hit the fruit cart that had been behind him. Just then he tried to stand up, and came across a brilliant idea that suddenly popped into his head.

He picked up a good apple, then immediately thrown it to all the thugs who tried to attack him. In addition Xiao also pushed the cart with all his might.

"Aarghhh!" some of the thugs immediately fell. Xiao took the opportunity to run. He saw only the burly man still trying to chase after him.

Xiao's sweat started to wet his black hodie, even he started to be unable to catch his breath. Especially after his neck was almost strangled by a man.

Shuuut...

"XIAO!!!" Chan suddenly came in a car that belonged to his parents Xiao.

"GET IN!" he opened the car door for Xiao. Without thinking, Xiao immediately got into the car.

The burly man was getting black, his face was turning red. Even the veins on his neck seemed stiffened. He immediately snatched the car from an office man beside him.

BRMRMMM-FR...

Now the burly man was back in pursuit.

***

"They are the ones my parents sent me.." explains Xiao, who is still trying to catch his breath.

"Now! you drink first!" tell Chan to pour bottled mineral water on Xiao.

Glek...

Xiao swallowed the water in a hurry. Sometimes he looks back too. His eyes were round when he saw a car driving so fast towards him.

"Chan! faster! looks like they're still chasing!" insist Xiao.

Shutt...

The chase continues, but Chan seems really good at driving a car.

BRACKET!

The burly man crashed his car into the car Chan and Xiao were riding in. It suddenly made their car shift and hit a truck that happened to be on the side.

"Byhurrah!" Chan reflexes screaming. But thank God he was able to get back in control of his car well. Now Chan is running his car at maximum speed.

Sgeeeeng!

Their car was moving so fast. The burly man also took part in driving his car. It was as if he was determined to bring Xiao along with him.

"What should we do now? that guy's still after us!" moaning Chan looked so panicked, he turned his head towards Xiao.

"CHAN!!!" peek Xiao, when he saw a bus passing in front of him.

Syutt's...

Chan turned the steering wheel as much as possible.

Ciee....

The bus only managed to scratch a bit of Xiao and Chan's car. Now their car stopped in the middle of the road. The bodies of the two were pecking with breaths rising and falling.

BRACKET!

The sound of a car crash from behind, distracted Chan and Xiao to immediately look towards the source of the sound. The eyes of both of them immediately puffed up, when they saw the burly man's car was overturned in the middle of the road.

***

Wi wo's... Wi wo's... Wi wo's...

Police and ambulances started arriving. Xiao and Chan got out of their car.

"You all right?" asked a policeman by the name of Qiang in his shirt pocket.

"It's okay sir!" sahut Chan sure.

"Yes, you rest there!" qiang said as he pointed towards the ambulance. Chan and Xiao nodded their heads together.

"Chan! we have to go now!" take Xiao with a whispering voice.

"You really!" Chan responded with a determined look. The two left the scene without police knowledge. As a result their efforts were not in vain, the police and paramedics were seen still busy taking care of their respective work.

"You-look at the state of the man who was chasing us?" chan asked while equating his footsteps with Xiao.

"Yes, it hurt a lot!" sahut Xiao's.

"Why did the car get upside down?" chan's forehead frowned, he could not find any reason behind the incident that had befallen the burly man.

"That's because of me!" the appearance of Viera's head managed to make Xiao and Chan almost hangers.

"Viera!"

"Hey!"

In response to Xiao and Chan, both of them gritted their teeth together. But the female ghost only chuckled with a buzzing voice.

"Basic demon!" pekik Xiao, who managed to make himself the center of attention of everyone who was passing by.
