Chapter 111: Chapter 104: Ex-boyfriend?

A Red-eyed Mutant Beast!

The danger level of this Mist Event just shot up another notch.

’In my previous life, someone actually managed to survive this Mist Event. I have to admit, their luck was off the charts.’

Xia Yu’s other hand reached for the submachine gun strapped to her thigh, preparing for a fight.

"Ah!"

Just then, as a startled Song Ni was about to retreat, a massive force suddenly struck her from behind, sending her uncontrollably hurtling forward.

The stairs were right in front of her.

Her feet found empty air.

She plunged headfirst!

Wang Dan reacted quickly, sidestepping to dodge, but Xia Hongchun, who was behind him, grabbed him by the hair and yanked him backward.

"What are you doing? Ah—"

"THUD."

Wang Dan went down on the spot.

And the back of his head hit the ground!

’Even if the fall doesn’t kill you, you’ll be food for the monster.’

’You two, brother and sister, can die together. At least you’ll have company,’ Xia Hongchun thought smugly.

’Now that this brother and sister are dead, no one will know I killed someone!’

He looked up.

But he saw Xia Yu staring at him with a sharp gaze, and his heart skipped a beat. ’Did Xia Yu see me push Wang Dan?’

’It’s so dark in here, she probably didn’t see anything.’

’But...’

’What if she did?’

As he ran past Xia Yu, killing intent rose in his heart.

’Should I make my move now, while I have the chance?’

Xia Yu didn’t know what Xia Hongchun was thinking. She had indeed seen him harm Wang Dan, but she hadn’t paid it much mind. She just found it a little strange.

’Song Ni was already attracting the Mutated Beast and slowing it down. There was no need to get Wang Dan killed. So why did Xia Hongchun do it?’

’And what about Wang Chunxue? Did she not come? Or is she already dead?’

These thoughts flashed through her mind as Xia Yu prepared to attack the Red-eyed Mutant Beast!

Against such a powerful enemy, striking first was the only way to gain the upper hand!

But just then, her heart leaped. That familiar palpitation, that feeling of anxious restlessness, washed over her again, growing stronger and stronger!

’He’s here!’

Without hesitation, Xia Yu turned to flee.

She glanced back.

And saw Xia Hongchun’s hand reaching for her.

"Ahem."

Xia Hongchun coughed awkwardly and said, "Little Yu, I just wanted to tell you to hurry up and go. The others have all run off. It’s just you and me left."

At that moment, Zhang Feng, Nai’er, and her female assistant had already reached the floor above and were still running for their lives.

Xia Yu’s eyes narrowed. She had no time to deal with Xia Hongchun and bolted up the stairs.

Xia Hongchun followed close behind.

Downstairs.

"Help me... sob..."

Song Ni’s voice cried out.

Nearby, Wang Dan had passed out. His head had slammed into the edge of a step; it was a miracle he wasn’t killed on the spot.

SQUELCH.

The sickening sound of flesh being torn rang out.

"Ah!"

Wang Dan was jolted awake by the pain and began to struggle wildly.

Song Ni screamed nonstop, scrambling upstairs with all her might while shouting with a face full of venom, "Zhang Feng, I’ll haunt you even as a ghost! I’ll never let you go!"

"ROAR."

Just then, the Red-eyed Mutant Beast, which had been tearing at Wang Dan, seemed to sense a mortal threat. It whipped its head around and roared furiously.

The next moment.

"Whimper."

It tucked its tail between its legs, about to flee.

Everything blurred.

And it was already a corpse.

The Red-eyed Mutant Beast, a monster that even Xia Yu wasn’t confident she could defeat, had been killed without a chance to fight back!

"Save me."

Seeing that it was a person, Wang Dan felt as if he’d grabbed a lifeline. He clung desperately to the person’s leg, begging for help.

However,

at that moment, he became agitated and restless, a rage in his chest begging to be unleashed. "Xia Hongchun, I’m going to fucking kill you! Kill you! And Xia Yu, you all have to die! All of you!"

After he said it, he was horrified.

He clearly hadn’t expected to blurt out such words!

’What’s happening?’

"CRACK."

Wang Dan had no more time to think, because he felt something violently smash into his head and heard the sound of something bursting open.

’That’s it!’

’It sounds just like a watermelon bursting open.’

Then, his consciousness faded completely into darkness.

Hearing the commotion behind her, Song Ni couldn’t help but glance back, and then...

She saw Nai’er’s husband standing right behind her, staring blankly at her!

"It’s you!"

"You... you’re really still alive?!"

"Th-th-this is impossible!"

Terrified, Song Ni scrambled upward, ignoring the scrapes on her hands and feet. It was as if she couldn’t even feel the pain of raw flesh grinding against the concrete floor.

"Your death had nothing to do with me! Nothing!"

"Zhang Feng is the murderer!"

"Go after him! Why are you bullying a weak woman like me? He forced me to find you! It was because you didn’t agree to my terms that Zhang Feng killed you, sob..."

She cried, her voice full of despair.

She felt as if the whole world was filled with malice.

She had the sudden urge to destroy the world, to make billions of people die along with her!

’Just as I thought.’

’There’s something wrong with this Zhang Feng character.’

Upstairs.

Having stopped running, Xia Yu forced down the discomfort in her heart and listened carefully to Song Ni’s words. She instantly understood a few things. ’No wonder Zhang Feng wanted to harm Song Ni.’

’Is he trying to silence a witness?’

She strode off in pursuit.

The moment she was gone,

the crying from downstairs stopped abruptly.

The anxiety and agitation in her heart lessened slightly.

This meant the Resentful Corpse’s resentment had also lessened slightly.

Which means...

the Resentful Corpse’s power must have dropped slightly as well!

’It’s working!’

Xia Yu was pleasantly surprised.

This proved that the path she was taking was the right one!

So, the next step was to deliver Zhang Feng to the Resentful Corpse and let it have its revenge!

"SWOOSH."

Having figured this out, she charged upstairs even faster.

Zhang Feng.

Having already run up three floors, he hadn’t clearly heard what Song Ni was saying at all.

Right now, he thought that by killing Song Ni, he wouldn’t be exposed!

’I’m safe!’

"I have a key."

"Let’s hide in a room."

"I can’t run anymore."

Nai’er’s female assistant was gasping for air, huffing and puffing like a bellows.

"Let’s go!"

Zhang Feng was delighted.

Just as he was about to snatch the room key, his arm was suddenly twisted and broken.

"Ah!"

He tried to scream, but a hand clamped tightly over his mouth.

"Talk."

Xia Yu’s icy voice rang out again. "What’s the real story behind this case?"

"Or I’ll kill you!"

’She’s still asking?’

Zhang Feng was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. Hearing her words, his mind cleared instantly, and he shuddered involuntarily.

"It has nothing to do with me."

He refused to admit it.

"Song Ni said you killed him."

Xia Yu acted decisively, twisting and breaking his other arm. "Still trying to deny it? Want me to throw you directly to the Resentful Corpse?"

Zhang Feng was still hesitating.

Just then, Nai’er’s female assistant said weakly, "Um... he... he’s Nai’er’s ex-boyfriend."
