Chapter 9 Chapter 9 (Minor Revision) Will things ever “calm down”…
The sunlight fell on the kitchen knife tumbling in Chang Ruijia's hand. Looking at the sharp blade that was reflected in the sunlight, the few people who had originally had fierce expressions on their faces were frightened and fell back onto their floating objects.
Thinking about the kitchen knife that had just embedded half of its blade in the wooden basin, several people swallowed their saliva in panic, and unconsciously began to imagine what would happen if the knife really flew towards their heads...
"I was wrong! I was wrong! I'm sorry, I didn't recognize the real talent!" They shuddered unconsciously and begged for mercy hurriedly, trying hard to retreat while speaking.
However, in the panic of highly nervous tension, the wooden basin that had been obedient just now could not move at this moment. It just kept circling on the sea surface with one foot deep and one foot shallow, thanks to their efforts.
"Stop!" Chang Ruijia narrowed her eyes and kept stabbing the people with a kitchen knife, trying to figure out the right height for the next move. "You want to make a deal with me? Why are you leaving?"
They couldn't run at all, and there was a golden blade flashing in front of them. In despair, the toughness they had just shown disappeared in an instant, and they looked at Chang Ruijia with tears in their eyes.
"It's him! He's the one who forced us to look for you. Please forgive me, it's none of our business!"
"Yes, yes. He said that if we didn't listen to him, he would devour us first. We were forced to do so!"
"You're talking nonsense! How dare you say you weren't tempted when I brought this up? Now you're claiming you're innocent, bah! And you, don't forget, you were the one who decided on the candidate first..."
At this point, facing the current life threat, several people could not wait to start blaming each other, allowing the people around them to witness a dog-eat-dog drama.
Seeing how frightened they were, unable to speak clearly, Chang Ruijia sneered. "How dare they covet something that doesn't belong to them?" They were truly too bold!
When they were about to fight, the armed police finally arrived at the scene and stopped the quarrel from a distance in time.
"What are you doing! You finally survived, and now you want to start a fight among yourselves, right?!" The armed police officer frowned and shouted angrily, inserting himself between several people.
"Officer, this is none of my business," Chang Ruijia spread her hands. "I'm the one being threatened. They're all targeting me."
"I know," the armed police officer said inwardly, looking at Chang Ruijia's innocent face. He didn't know what to say about the victim suddenly becoming the perpetrator, but at least he had seen the development of the matter. "They certainly have bad intentions, but why don't you put the knife away first?"
"Of course," Chang Ruijia nodded and said readily, "I was forced to use my weapon to protect myself. If my life is safe, I certainly won't threaten innocent people."
"But..." Chang Ruijia twirled the knife in her hand, her eyes moving meaningfully around the people looking at her. "If anyone has any ideas about me, I don't know where this knife will appear next time."
As she spoke, Chang Ruijia casually chopped the knife into the solid wood of the bedside. The sunlight reflected through the cold blade, and the others felt as if the knife had chopped their own necks.
In response to Chang Ruijia's obvious threat, the armed police opened their mouths but ultimately said nothing to dissuade him.
The world is no longer the harmonious and stable world it used to be. There is nothing wrong with wanting to protect yourself. If you don’t show strength now, no one knows what will happen next.
Acknowledging Chang Ruijia's threat to others, the armed police cast their eyes on the few people who were still crying and pulling each other's hair.
"Okay, none of you are innocent, so stop blaming each other." Seeing that several people showed no sign of reforming, the armed police began to have a headache.
How should he deal with their behavior this time appropriately?
"What are they doing? Why haven't the police arrested them all yet?" The onlookers couldn't help but whisper as they watched the armed police remain silent.
"Are you stupid? The situation has already become like this. Where can we find a prison? Where can we catch those people?" Someone looked at them in sudden realization and said.
"Ah? Are we going to let them all go? Who knows what they will do next time? This is like letting a tiger return to the mountain!" Realizing this possibility, someone immediately said indignantly.
Chang Ruijia didn't care how they were going to deal with these people. She had already made all the threats she should have made. With her unique skill of throwing the kitchen knife just now, no one would dare to confront her easily.
But despite the strength and threats she just displayed, Chang Ruijia actually has a completely different side to her.
After the armed police drew everyone's attention, she looked at the headboard where she had chopped it. Although her face remained calm, she was already wailing in pain in her heart.
No! ! ! !
Her pure solid wood, costing tens of thousands of dollars, is a unique, custom-made headboard!
Her bed! Her money!
Chang Ruijia didn't know why her brain suddenly went blank just now. It might be because the atmosphere at that time was already so bad that if she didn't do more, it would be a shame to the ruthless personality she had worked so hard to create.
So... without thinking, he embedded the kitchen knife into the wood of the bedside.
Now that she had reacted, looking at the blade that had already penetrated one-third of the way into the body, Chang Ruijia cried at the head of her bed with heartache in her eyes. The key point was that she couldn't let those people who had just been shocked see anything, so she could only cry alone in her heart.
Wooah!
This is the precious big bed that she spent several months' salary to bring home!
How, how could I just have a brain spasm and get defiled by a tiny kitchen knife!
Woohoo, wow, wow, wow…
Finally, after crying enough in her heart, Chang Ruijia looked at the scene where bargaining was still going on, and suddenly reached out and rubbed her arm inconspicuously.
If you want to pretend to be cool, you have to pretend thoroughly!
So, now she could only endure the excruciating pain in her arm.
This is the only bad thing about not exercising for too long. She just plunged the kitchen knife straight into the wooden basin under them, and she had to use all her strength to throw it out, not to mention her brain-wracking action of looking at the head of her bed afterwards.
So at this moment, as she kneaded her arm, which hurt when touched, Chang Ruijia deeply felt that it might have been sprained just now.
Fortunately, the courage of that group of people was frightened when they knew she was going to continue throwing the kitchen knives, so they did not try to do anything with their lives.
Otherwise, with the kitchen knife already chopped into the bedside, it was still a question whether she could pull her hand out by herself. If she really had to use both her hands and feet, it would be really embarrassing!
God bless you!
However, looking at the onlookers around who were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to deal with those people, Chang Ruijia did not feel relieved at all that the threat had been lifted.
Pandora's box has been pried open by these idiots who don't even have a brain. This won't happen just once, this is just the beginning.
"Evict! Evict!"
On the other hand, faced with the blatantly illegal behavior of several people, the masses had obviously given the armed police a solution that he had to adopt.
"We must expel them from our circle! With people like this among us, who knows if they will suddenly rush towards us next time?!"
"Exactly. Do we have to wait for people to die at their hands and cause such a tragedy before we come up with an effective solution?"
As for the audience's unanimous solution, even if the armed police wanted to express some different opinions, no one would listen. Everyone looked at the few people with resentment, as if as long as they were all expelled, they could return to the atmosphere before they learned about "swallowing".
But is the truth really that simple?
Under the unanimous decision of the masses, no matter how many people cried and confessed themselves, and promised to reform themselves in the future, they could not escape the threat of everyone in the end and slowly moved away from the crowd.
Seeing the 'black sheep' finally disappear from sight, the crowd couldn't help but cheer, as if they had really done something great.
But under the dim sky in front of her, Chang Ruijia's heart couldn't help but rise.
This is the first night everyone has gathered together after learning about the "devouring" ability. Will it really be as peaceful as everyone hopes?
