Xia Wan remained unusually calm and continued to methodically provoke Chen Qiang:
"Hmph, don't be naive! Do you really think killing me will solve everything? Take a good look around. There are people everywhere, and the police have already surrounded this place. You have nowhere to escape! However, if you can suddenly realize your mistake and let me go right now, there might still be a glimmer of hope."
Upon hearing these words, Chen Qiang's eyes began to flicker, as if he were experiencing a violent struggle within himself.
His hand, gripping the dagger, trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
Just then, the train suddenly jolted without warning.
In the blink of an eye, Xia Wan seized this fleeting opportunity and slammed backward with all her might.
Caught off guard, Chen Qiang stumbled and lost his balance, causing the sharp blade that had been pressed against Xia Wan's neck to shift away.
Seeing this, Xia Wan immediately grabbed Chen Qiang and slammed him hard towards the police officer who was holding a black package and looked shocked!
Immediately afterwards, Xia Wan shouted loudly, "You bastard, how dare you stab me with a knife! Today I'll smash you to death!" As she spoke, her tightly clenched fists rained down on Chen Qiang's body.
At the same time, she flashed, moving swiftly like a ghost to the side of the black package. She extended her slender fingers and gently touched the mysterious package.
Just as Xia Wan's fingertips touched the black package, a faint light flashed.
Then, a voice that only Xia Wan could hear rang in her mind.
[Congratulations, host. You have successfully come into contact with the special energy item and have successfully absorbed its energy.]
Despite her secret delight, Xia Wan maintained a calm expression, her hands never stopping as her fists continued to relentlessly strike Chen Qiang's body.
The stunned train police officers took a while to recover from their surprise, and one by one they rushed forward in a flustered manner, trying to forcefully pull the agitated Xia Wan away.
"Young man, calm down, don't be impulsive..." one of the train police officers earnestly advised, but his tone was clearly somewhat lacking in confidence.
After all, blood was gushing from the girl's neck, and the shocking scene would make anyone feel angry and heartbroken. They really didn't know how to persuade this injured girl who still refused to give up to calm her anger.
Seeing someone come to pull her away, Xia Wan took the opportunity to back down.
Actually, for her, getting all the things on her mind had already made her feel much better.
Besides, since she couldn't gain any points or benefits, she didn't want to keep arguing and make things worse for herself.
You know, she's always been so rebellious; the more others forbid her from doing something, the more she wants to try it.
Just like in her previous life, her body couldn't handle strenuous exercise or fighting, but she just happened to have a bad temper and loved to fight!
However, now that she was healthy and able to hit people and vent her anger as she pleased, she became calm and even lost all interest in fighting.
"You little brat, you just wait, I'll settle this score with you sooner or later, and I'll never let you off easily!" Chen Qiang struggled as the train police forcibly helped him up, glaring fiercely at Xia Wan while still cursing filthy language.
Hearing this, Xia Wan merely glanced at him indifferently, then rolled her eyes dismissively and coldly replied, "Hmph, you? I'm afraid you'll never have that chance in your entire life!"
After saying that, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile.
I thought to myself, this guy is really overestimating himself. Given the crimes he committed, once he is arrested, he will most likely face death. Yet he still has the nerve to spout nonsense and show off his power here.
"Alright, alright, young comrade, don't bother with this kind of person. You should go and treat your wound first! Look at your neck, it's still bleeding!" Another train police officer quickly reached out and pulled Xia Wan back before she could retort, anxiously pointing to her injured neck as he reminded her.
Xia Wan then remembered that she still had an injury on her neck, so it was indeed not advisable to continue bleeding her!
"Ouch, it hurts so much! Comrades, you must not let that despicable man get away with this! Just now, he actually tried to kill me! If it weren't for the fact that I know a little bit of kung fu, I might already be a cold corpse by now! Waaah..." Her delicate body trembled slightly, and crystal tears kept welling up in her eyes. Her voice was choked with sobs, full of grievance and fear.
The people around her were stunned by her tearful account. They stared in disbelief at the tearful, pitiful woman before them, thinking to themselves: Is this the same brave and fierce little girl who was just now fighting so fiercely? She was so imposing when she was fighting, showing no signs of being so weak now!
At this moment, the train police officer quickly composed himself, cleared his throat, and said in a gentle but firm tone, "Ahem, young comrade, please rest assured. This guy is a wanted criminal, and we will absolutely not forgive his crimes easily. However, right now, the most important thing is to have the medical staff treat your wounds!"
Xia Wan nodded vigorously, sniffed, and looked at the train police officer with grateful eyes. She said softly, "Thank you, comrade. If you hadn't appeared in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
As she followed the flight attendant to the medical room to have her wound bandaged, she silently thought to herself: Great! After this experience, my system can upgrade smoothly again! Thinking of this, Xia Wan couldn't help but smile.
"Hey, little system, how long will this upgrade take?" Xia Wan asked the system in her mind while walking. However, strangely, no matter how she called out to it, the system remained silent and did not give any response.
"Ugh, what's going on? They didn't even give me any advance notice. They suddenly told me I could upgrade, and now they're not saying anything!" Xia Wan muttered in disbelief.
Xia Wan used her consciousness to explore the space and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was still usable.
It seems she went to upgrade quietly. Luckily, the space is still usable, as most of her belongings are stored there!
