“Congratulations, you’ve been accepted.”
Chen Xiao’ai, dazed, shook hands with the interviewer lady, thinking her luck since transmigrating was just one good break after another.
<...Chapter 087: Baseball Bat
As the elevator slowly sank, many terrifying scenes emerged in Chen Xiao'er's mind.
She and Xiaomei are both ordinary people with no fighting ability.
The most powerful weapon she possesses is a baseball bat, and Xiaomei isn't even 9 yet. If we're taken to the basement of the hotel like this, will we encounter something truly terrifying?
For example, after opening the door, we found that it was an underground parking lot. A luxury car suddenly opened its door, and several strong men rushed out and dragged us in and drove away.
For example, after opening the door, it was found to be an underground passage. A group of kidnappers rushed over, gagged and knocked them unconscious, stuffed them into a cargo box and transported them to the port.
Another example is opening the door to discover a mad scientist's laboratory, or discovering body parts appearing at a specimen sale years later...
Beep, rustle.
The elevator stopped at the 10th floor underground, and the dark gray door slowly opened.
Chen Xiao'er's heart was pounding wildly, and she was extremely nervous in an instant, fearing that the situations in her mind would occur.
When she saw the scene behind the door clearly, her eyes gradually widened: It was not a parking lot, not an underground passage, not a laboratory, but - things were even worse!!!
The entire tenth underground floor had been converted into a massive bedroom, with all but the load-bearing walls running through it. The bedroom was filled with a large amount of furniture of unknown origin, even something resembling a gallows.
Sofas, beds, wooden shelves of unknown function, scary high stools made of steel spears... and a pile of ropes with iron rings in the corner.
If these things are just some kind of background that triggers associations, then the key figures in the background can directly connect all the clues and make the proof instantly established.
The blonde girl was like a wild animal waking up from a nap. She lazily left the unconscious woman beside her and wiped the bloodstains from the corners of her mouth while yawning.
The emerald eyes that glanced towards the door were filled with boredom, but suddenly lit up when they saw who was coming, as if a king snake in the dark had locked onto the rats in their nest.
Xinnaya kicked the woman's body away, and the limp body rolled twice on the carpet until it rolled to the edge of the shadow.
"Chen-Xiao-Er-"
She recited the girl's name slowly, abnormally slowly, and her smooth legs walked out of the shadows and into the incandescent light.
The lioness has awakened, and her roar is filled with a strong smell of blood.
Anyone who saw her erect pupils knew how hungry she was and how eager she was to devour everything of her prey.
…
A dazzling deep purple mist swirled around the devil.
This overwhelming desire is about to soar into the sky, but it is restricted by the powerful superpowers of humans and spirals endlessly around the body.
Sinaya looked excitedly at the alert prey, the cunning hunter and her nemesis who was completely locked on her.
Chen Xiao'er, you have once again surpassed my plans and imagination, and once again taken the initiative to come to me under impossible circumstances.
Come, show me your plots and traps—where are they, your reinforcements, your backup plans, your schemes? I will crush them one by one and reveal to you the limits of humanity!
The more excited Xinnaya became, the more cautious she became. Her self-esteem, self-confidence, innate arrogance, and past painful experiences were all entangled in her core, and she would never allow the devil to step into the trap of humans again.
No matter how she looked at it, there was nothing special about Chen Xiao'er. The only object that could be called a weapon, no matter what its original purpose, was now just an ordinary baseball bat.
This cunning hunter always dresses up as a freshly washed cub, with nothing but shiny fur.
So your backup plan is... the little monster beside you?
Xinnaya's pupils narrowed, and she couldn't see any possibility that this monster could hurt her in the slightest.
The energy intensity is acceptable for humans, but it is far from the level of the Devil Hunter. There is no chance of winning in a battle.
What are you doing, Chen Xiao'er? Even if you use your superpowers to limit all of us present to humans, such a weak monster will never be able to effectively kill me.
Look, it's almost scared to death.
After taking all the variables into consideration, the devil finally couldn't suppress his arrogance.
She raised her index finger and nonchalantly tapped the fainting aberration, her fangs wiping across her lips in disdain. "Why is there a little bastard here? Never mind, consider it your side dish. Hurry up and show us your other cards. This garbage isn't even enough to fill your teeth."
…
"Why is there a little devil here? Never mind, it doesn't matter if we eat them together."
Xinnaya licked her lips, her eyes flashing with dangerous disdain: "Did you bring anyone else? This skinny brat is not interesting at all."
Chen Xiao'er was still trembling, she couldn't control the fear in her body at all: Who wouldn't be scared when seeing a psychopath on the set of a horror movie!
But the moment she heard these words, her mind immediately understood the current situation. A strong sense of responsibility gripped her heart, forcing the nervous twitching to a halt.
When an adult realizes that he or she needs to protect a younger member of the same tribe, an inexplicable courage will run through his or her body.
I am not alone now, I have a child behind me.
She was still so young. She believed me and followed me out because I said I would take her to find her father, and that's when she encountered this kind of thing.
What happened to me was my own fault, because I provoked Sinaya. But if that child—if that child was killed.
Even just a second of imagining it made her blood run cold.
No, no, absolutely not.
No matter what happens to me, I must not let this child suffer.
Chen Xiao'er had never considered the difference between adults and children, the age difference? It was just a common thought.
But at this moment when countless thoughts converged, she almost instantly placed her role chess piece in the adult's position.
[I want to protect that child] This belief suddenly surged, causing her to tightly grip the baseball bat in her hand.
The limbs moved naturally, swinging the bat with whatever muscle memory existed or didn't exist—
"Go to hell—pervert—"
"?"
Sinaya was caught off guard. She was still immersed in a conversation with her old enemy when a baseball bat, caught in the wind, came crashing down on her head with such determination!
Of course, the devil could easily dodge this attack.
But humans can't do that, because their reaction speed is too slow.
Bang bang!
The bat hit her nose with a crisp sound, splashing a large amount of blood.
"Well, I actually underestimated..."
Bang, bang, bang!
Just as Xinaya was about to say something, the bat lashed her face repeatedly, preventing her from finishing her sentence. Each blow was delivered with full force, as if squeezing every ounce of strength out of her muscles.
Chen Xiao'er took a deep breath and shouted out all the air in her chest: "Xiaomei—run—"
"Okay~ Thank you, sister!" ["Thank you, sir, for covering our retreat~"]
With a rustling sound, the little girl who received approval didn't waste even a second, she jumped into the elevator and disappeared.
Chen Xiao'er didn't have time to look back. She mechanically swung the bat, hitting Xinnaya with all her strength once, twice, and three times.
Hit, hit, hit, hit hard! Only by hitting her and knocking her unconscious can we escape safely——
Bang bang.
The last blow was consciously blocked by her wrist.
Bang!
So the devil seized the opportunity and caught it steadily with his palm.
"Oh."
Xinnaya grabbed the bat and pulled it hard - the bat slipped out of Xiao'er's hand, flew out with a whoosh, and hit the ground with a clang.
Pop.
The devil grasped the girl's fragile neck and said with a dark laugh, "Have you had enough? Now it's my turn."
The throat is a vital part of the human body, and the moment Chen Xiao'e's throat was touched, all the hair on her body stood up. Her gym training had paid off, and she reflexively kicked out, striking Xinnaya's knee.
Gaba.
It felt like her joints were more seriously injured than her knees!
The thought flashed through his mind, at least his throat was temporarily freed.
Chen Xiao'e raised her arms, her hands facing outward, ready to use the fighting stance taught by her physical education teacher to defend against possible attacks. Xinnaya had practiced fighting, but at least I had also trained under a famous teacher for a while—
Boom!
There was a sound of wind in my ears, followed by thunder exploding on my cheekbones!
Chen Xiao'er didn't know if she was deafened by the beating, because she could not hear anything in her ears, only a thin liquid flowing down her left cheek.
"Hey, you're still so weak?"
Sinaya playfully imitated her, standing on tiptoe with a devilish mockery on her face.
She had clearly been hit several times with a baseball bat, and some of her wounds were swollen, but apart from the scars, she didn't seem to be in any pain or showing any signs of concussion.
"Hmm... ka."
Chen Xiao'er didn't know what to say because her head hurt so much that she couldn't think at all.
"Hmm? No strength left, or—"
A punch hit Chen Xiao'er's chest hard, followed by another punch hitting her shoulder.
Xinnaya smiled and said in a lover's tone, "Keep pretending."
She admired Chen Xiao'er's miserable state and every wound on her body.
Hunters always keep hurting the same place in order to achieve the fastest kill, but she suddenly fell in love with the feeling of blooming everywhere.
Whenever he saw the different scars on Chen Xiao'er's body caused by her, even his non-existent heart would become burning.
Come on, let me have more fun!
Whoosh.
The punch missed, and Chen Xiao'er finally regained consciousness under the dual effects of pain and willpower.
Perhaps she was not awake, and her muscle memory temporarily took over her brain in an attempt to protect her precarious body.
No, if this continues... I... will lose.
Even if she was no longer sober, she gradually realized the huge gap between them.
Sinaya has explosive power hidden all over her body. Her muscles are like the body of a python. You can't see it at ordinary times, but once she fights with you, she will wrap around your neck tightly until you die.
That is not a gap that can be made up by a few classes or weeks of practice, nor is it a talent that can be caught up by years of hard work.
No matter how perverted, irrational, or neurotic this girl Xinnaya is...she is a genius in combat.
I want to win, no matter what.
Chen Xiao'er could see the woman lying on the ground and a bunch of strange props around her.
She didn't even dare to imagine what the outcome would be if she failed, she just wanted to win!
I must be armed. If I continue to fight her, I will be courting death.
The baseball bat is thrown too far, no.
Pasha.
The punch was very tricky, but Chen Xiao'er was lucky. She staggered and slid down, and her body stuck to a piece of iron chain on the ground.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the woman lying next to her seemed to twitch twice when she touched the iron chain.
Chen Xiao'er couldn't care less about anything. She used all her strength to wrap the rope with the iron chain around her arm while lying on the ground.
Whoosh.
There was a sudden sound of wind behind me.
Chen Xiao'er chose to trust her intuition and turned around decisively within half a second.
Boom!
She used her chest to absorb the dull blow. Every bone and muscle in her body ached so much that it almost burst.
But she did not indulge in the pain, and rolled to the side with determination.
"Want to run?"
The devil was laughing wildly as she pounced on the ground, ready to slice open her prey's dying face with her claws.
Whoosh——
A strong rope was thrown over unexpectedly, and Xinnaya calmly used her hands to block it.
clang!
What followed was an indescribable force.
Chen Xiao'er flipped over her and used all her strength to tighten the rope, then wrapped the iron chain at the back horizontally and locked it firmly!
