Chapter 032 Fall
Plop, plop, plop.
The heartbeat rose and fell with the slowly approaching drumbeat of high-heeled boots.
Chen Xiao'er covered her mouth and hid behind a pile of debris. She was in no mood to take a closer look at what was around her.
A mannequin? Furniture fragments? A ghost? Ghosts aren't even that creepy!
"Are you here?"
Sinaya's voice came from far away, then near, yet not quite close enough. It echoed repeatedly at a delicate distance.
Great, this guy is a bit night blind and didn’t bring a flashlight, so he can’t see me for the time being.
call……
Chen Xiao'er could only breathe slowly. She didn't dare to bet whether the other party's words "I'll grab you and hehehe" were a joke or the truth.
If any other woman had said this, she wouldn't have cared at all - some people always like to joke around, and an occasional comment or two between friends is harmless.
...The problem is, we're not that familiar with each other, right?
And this guy, I always feel like something is wrong.
[I have never been to school] When Xinnaya said this, what flashed in her eyes was not innocence, melancholy, or curiosity, but a deep contempt and malice.
While one shouldn't judge a book by its cover, Sinaya does possess a strikingly aggressive beauty. Her aggression far surpasses the average person's, to the point that every word she utters sounds like a command and a declaration.
We can still laugh at her greasy face through the phone screen, but when you see those cold eyes face to face - hiss.
Chen Xiao'e shuddered, feeling deep down that Xinaya wasn't joking, or at least not entirely. If she really cornered her in a deserted place... forget about college life, even her daily life would be over!
She carefully pushed aside the wastebasket and, using her knees to rub against half of the curtain, groped her way to the edge of the room. From this angle, she could only see Xinaya's swaying back, so she had to be extremely careful.
…
Demons roam the corridors.
No wonder wherever this human goes, nearby anomalies will quickly retreat.
Creatures of the abyss have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. The moment they choose to be her enemy, even their own bodies will "betray" them.
He swung his legs, occasionally pushing away some of the rubbish that blocked his way.
This was a truly novel experience. My humanoid body was incredibly weak. Not only was it blocked by solid objects, it also felt fatigued. And this fatigue wasn't just an illusion; my energy levels were actually decreasing.
Their vision was deprived, their perception was restricted, and even their immense power was difficult to utilize.
If this continues, even I might be in danger.
Is this the trap you carefully prepared? Using yourself as bait, you drag the strong into the quagmire of the weak.
The best way to deal with it is to leave. As long as you stay away from this person's influence, everything will return to normal.
A ferocious, human-like smile gradually appeared on his face.
Force me to run away?
What a despicable human being! Your [helper], no, your [other part] must be guarding the only way outside, waiting for me to fall into the trap!
Want to devour the hunter as the prey? Give it a try if you can!
Oh, my eyes are starting to adjust.
The devil covered his new organ and bared his teeth in the direction of the swaying shadow.
"I see you."
…
"I see you."
"Ugh! Really?!" Chen Xiao'er shuddered and immediately tumbled out from behind the table.
This flip saved my life. The person behind me hit the corner of the table with a bang, and he bent over and covered his stomach. It seemed that he hit the table with great force.
"Sorry, no, get out!"
Chen Xiao'er bit her tongue and ran out. What was the point of apologizing to someone like that?! Humph, if my classmates were here, they'd make sure you never came back!
She felt mixed emotions and didn't know how to describe her extremely unlucky luck.
If the elevator hadn't broken down, I'd definitely be cleaning with my classmates. Given Xinnaya's personality, she'd probably come over with her arms flailing, asking for a fight. Then Lin Lang would punch her and teach her the true meaning of civility and courtesy.
Also, if I hadn't forgotten my phone, I could have called Sister Lan right now to send her location and have her come over to help. How can a mere second-generation rich kid be compared to a real member of society?
When Sister Lan kicked her, I could also vent my anger with a broom!
Xiao'er's mind was filled with beauty, and she ran quite fast.
My eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and as long as I was lucky enough, I wouldn't bump into anything.
She walked through the door and ran quickly down the corridor.
There was a straight corridor under her feet, which should be twenty or thirty meters long... Her thoughts were constantly coordinating her legs. The people behind her were chasing her too fast and too urgently, and Xiao'er didn't dare to slow down at all.
Ta-da, clatter, clatter, clatter.
Is it a wall? Yes, it is a wall!
She narrowly turned her body and dodged to the side, but her body suddenly hit the solid wall.
That's not right.
Chen Xiao'er raised her arms and felt around. What kind of room is this? Why is it so cramped? Even a utility room isn't this small.
Da-da-da. Da-da-da-da.
The soles of Xinnaya's boots hit the floor heavily, making a series of noises.
Oh no, there’s no time.
This guy rushed so fast. Is he okay after that fall just now?
Xiao Ai hunched her shoulders and dared not utter a word. She shrank back, even trying to tuck her legs and feet into the corners to avoid being seen outside.
…
See it, it's there.
The devil showed a cruel smile. Although their bodies were similar to those of humans, their prey was weaker than her and could not even break the tables and chairs.
Furthermore, the prey had no extra stealth abilities, making noise everywhere it ran. If his perception hadn't been severely limited, he would have caught it immediately.
He could clearly see with his naked eyes the shaking caused by Chen Xiao'er's escape.
The fall just now only created some distance between us. Don't try to escape from me.
His speed is getting faster and faster. What does it matter if I have human legs? I am still me.
The devil's silhouette blurred as he ran, crossing the corridor at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and swiftly pounced on the corner where his prey was hidden.
whoosh.
No, something's wrong.
The sensation under my feet changed, and my vision suddenly opened up. There was no wall in front of me, only a hole, a hole that led deeper into the abyss.
Belatedly, he looked at the floor.
The devil who has no fear of pain is not afraid of falling and has no concept of slipping and stepping into empty space, so naturally he will not pay attention to his feet.
I see.
He raised the corners of his lips at the moment of falling: No wonder you chose to escape in this direction, this is your purpose... cunning human.
Suddenly, a hand reached out.
The cunning human grabbed the devil's wrist tightly and dragged it upwards.
…
"Hey, you're not looking where you're going—"
Chen Xiao'er gritted her teeth and pulled hard. Her strength was only average to begin with, and this thing was much heavier than she had imagined!
"Why did you do that?"
"What is your purpose?"
Xinnaya raised her face, her expression unclear in the darkness, only the corners of her lips seemed to be smiling.
"Why? I owe you something, I can't do that!" Xiao'er just wanted to curse now.
She really hated this bastard pervert, but, but what if he was really just joking?
Even if it wasn't a joke, I couldn't just watch her slip down the stairs and die.
Yes, you will really fall to your death.
Chen Xiao'er didn't know what she was most angry about: herself, who acted faster than she thought? The insanely reckless play of tag in the dark hallway? Or the poorly maintained school that nearly killed someone...
She grabbed Xinnaya's hand and looked down, and was speechless for a moment:
I don't know what happened to this dormitory building. The place where the stairs should be is broken in half, leaving only a few steps and a big hole that goes from top to bottom.
If someone slips while standing on it, they can fall directly from the third floor to the first floor.
"You owe me?"
"Yeah! I owe you a meal." Xiao Ai grinned and dragged herself back. Thankfully, this guy still had half of his body clinging to the steps, otherwise even a ghost wouldn't be able to pull him up.
Of course, Xinnaya remembered that this person used a trick to change the contract to [eat], but she didn't expect that she would mention the contract at this time.
Isn't now the perfect time for a surprise attack?
The so-called contract can only be fulfilled if both parties survive... This human is not stupid, so she has other purposes.
Thoughts raced, Xinaya condescendingly asked, "Well, you did quite well. But I don't quite understand what you mean. Is there any point in saying treat me to a meal now?"
"I respect your cunning, human. You may now present your schemes, and I promise to grant you a peaceful death when I tire of them."
"Of course!"
Chen Xiao'er made love vigorously, wrapping the coat she had taken off between the two of them like a rope to prevent herself from losing strength and falling.
She waited until it was secure before glancing down and continuing to pull her arm upward. "Whatever you were trying to do just now, I thought you were joking. You know that's boring, right? Whether you want to go to school or make friends, start by being a good person."
"What are you implying?"
Xinnaya frowned. She could vaguely guess why this guy was talking in a roundabout way.
First, humans with overly powerful superpowers can easily be infiltrated by power, develop mental abnormalities, and speak incoherently.
The second is the ritual site. This is a ritual site organized by a human organization. Is this guy trying to circumvent possible surveillance?
"I want to say—"
Xiao Ai lowered her head and said seriously, "Don't waste your precious time. Since your family is so powerful, it should be easy for you to find a university, right?"
For example, donating a teaching building allows for special admission to Taoli University.
"Then you won't have to chase after others. You can sit in the cafeteria and enjoy your youth with your friends."
As Xiao'ai spoke, she felt a little moved.
She looked at Xinaya's pensive expression and breathed a sigh of relief. "You don't have to bother me now, right? You're pretty, you have time, and you have a lot of money. There are definitely plenty of people willing to line up to play with you."
"I see."
After a few seconds, Sinaya raised her face, the outline of her nose shrouded in a hazy light. Her expression was not as gloomy as expected, but instead she smiled as if ice and snow had melted.
You are indeed a cunning person who has tricked me twice in a row. I acknowledge your malice and cruelty towards your own kind.
You really shouldn't die here, at this moment.
Because it is really rare to find scum like you who are willing to help the abyss creatures infiltrate the heart of human organizations and actively choose their companions for sacrifice.
What’s even more commendable is that you haven’t had any negative emotions until now.
The girl's innocent face was reflected in Xinnaya's emerald eyes, and she was curious and even admired it.
You didn't abandon your own kind out of fear, you simply thought it was better, more convenient, more meaningful. What insidious humans are! She began to understand the charm of humans.
What an ugly body, what a dirty soul! It really makes me unable to stop.
The half of Xinnaya's body that was resting on the steps suddenly twitched, and she twisted her wrist to grab Chen Xiao'er's arm and pulled it towards the abyss.
As a return gift for treating me to a "meal", I will take you to find those humans and grant you the honor of sharing their souls.
"let's go."
Cute human beings.
