One second he was a lively, energetic person, and the next he was dead. And judging from Zhuang Zhuliu's attitude as the murderer... it was as easy as killing a chicken.
Is it really possible to be so indifferent to such a thing?
How could a life be taken away so easily?
Xie Linlin felt her breathing become heavy, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. Although from her distance, even if she could smell the blood, it would have been diluted by the air, but she still found it hard to breathe.
Psychological effect?
Or was it that witnessing a lively, energetic person one second suddenly die right before her eyes, their body turning cold and no longer radiating any vitality, just lying there quietly, was too shocking for Xie Linlin?
She doesn't understand.
These thoughts are stupid, especially not in the mind of Xie Linlin, who wants to kill Xia Che for her own selfish desires. She knows this herself, but she still feels that such a thing is wrong.
It's a bit too gory...
"That's true."
Bubble nodded in deep agreement. This villa was full of villains, and no one had a clean record. Then she waved her hand and said indifferently, "Oh well, they're all dead. We should thank them for losing a competitor. However, leaving a corpse in the villa will probably make one of the housekeepers angry."
A gloating smile appeared on Bubble's lips. Hearing this, Xie Linlin breathed heavily and looked at Bubble, feeling a little strange.
A sense of estrangement gradually surfaced in Xie Linlin's heart.
This girl named Bubble, although she has no record of killing anyone according to intelligence records, actually thought "one less competitor" when she saw someone die in front of her.
Xie Linlin wasn't sure if Bubble had an exceptionally strong inner strength or if she was simply someone who disregarded life by nature.
Although having such thoughts at this moment would be hypocritical for someone of her status, Xie Linlin still felt that Paopao was a bit too scary.
"Hopefully our plan will go smoothly, so... we won't have to see anyone else die."
Xie Linlin didn't say anything more. She looked away from the old leopard's corpse, lowered her head, and hurriedly left, as if she were running away from something.
Bubbles followed closely behind.
After the two women left, a pair of bright eyes hidden in the darkness gently disappeared into the shadows.
...
Jiang City, Weiyang Middle School, Karate semi-final venue.
"Ooh ooh ooh—"
The venue was bustling with noise.
Although several days have passed since this college league hosted by Weiyang, its popularity has not diminished at all.
Every student was in high spirits.
As expected of a grand event for universities in Jiang City, the atmosphere of the university league is truly captivating for these students who are in their adolescence.
Young people always love excitement. Now that there's finally a lively occasion with the teacher's approval and even their leadership, which is neither illegal nor dangerous, what high school student wouldn't like it?
"Speak with a calm mind, speak with a calm mind!"
"Wow, we're already in the semifinals? Wow... Does that mean the high school league will be over soon after the karate finals? How are the other schools doing? Is Weiyang in first place?"
"It's hard to say right now... Some venues have very short events, and they're all in a queue. Many events have already decided champions. In terms of the number of gold medals, Weiyang is still in first place, but other universities are catching up very closely. It's far from time to relax."
Hearing the discussions around him, a smile appeared on Xia Che's lips.
As expected...
No matter when, students are always proud of their alma mater. Everyone wants to see their school win first place, which is also a manifestation of a sense of belonging.
If Xia Che remembers correctly, Weiyang is currently in the lead, but other strong high schools like Linchuan are also closing in.
It can be said that he could catch up with Weiyang at any time.
After all, not all competitions are like karate, with a large number of participants, so the competition schedule is much longer compared to other competitions.
Those sports like tennis, swimming, and diving... have already determined their true champions long ago.
The college league uses a gold medal system, and the final champion is determined by the number of gold medals. Weiyang is currently in first place, but Linchuan has won the silver medal title.
"There are two more matches left that will determine the final outcome: Taekwondo and Karate. Today is the semifinals for both. If we can advance to the finals, Weiyang's chances of winning will increase significantly. If we win these two matches..."
Xia Che touched his chin. The sense of shared hatred among his classmates unconsciously infected him, making him subconsciously start thinking about Wei Yang.
"That means that if the seeded players from Linchuan Middle School are eliminated in these two competitions, the number of gold medals will be much higher than that of Linchuan, and Weiyang will have a high probability of winning the championship."
Chu Yuying pushed Jiang Yu, and somehow they arrived behind Xia Che, taking over Xia Che's words.
"Here you go, your sugar-free Coke with ice."
Jiang Yu sat in her wheelchair, holding a bag of drinks, and waved it at Xia Che.
"Thanks."
Xia Che first thanked her with a smile, then looked at Chu Yuying and asked, "So, have all the seeded players from Linchuan secured their spots in the finals?"
Karate and Taekwondo...
Wei Yang is a seeded player in both of these competitions, and I know her very well.
One is the female protagonist of a comic book, and the other is the male protagonist.
It's so familiar...
"Hmm, I don't know if Wei Yang arranged it intentionally, but they didn't meet in the semifinals. Karate is a double-elimination tournament, so the final will most likely be Shen Yanxin vs. Wang Yue. As for Taekwondo, I'm not very clear. I don't know who the seeded player from Linchuan is."
Chu Yuying shrugged.
Karate and Taekwondo are two special competition events, divided into women's and men's groups. The champions of the women's Taekwondo and men's Karate events have now been decided, with Weiyang and Linchuan each winning one.
So, the remaining two competition events...
That's crucial.
If Weiyang and Linchuan each win one gold medal, then Weiyang and Linchuan will have the same number of gold medals, so the number of silver medals will be compared, but Linchuan will have more silver medals than Weiyang.
That means that the championship of the university league is very likely to be won by Linchuan.
"Is there no room for error anymore?"
Xia Che frowned, clearly unaware that the situation had become so dire.
There's absolutely no room for error...
