The bullet tore through the heavy air and struck the woman's wrist, which was gripping the dagger tightly!
"Ugh!"
The woman let out a suppressed groan of pain, and the sharp dagger clattered to the cold cement floor.
However, she did not give up!
The excruciating pain from being shot in the wrist actually unleashed her astonishing potential.
Instead of retreating, she advanced, forcefully kicking the travel bag full of chips with her right foot!
The travel bag flew towards Qin Xiao like a cannonball.
At the same time, she used the reaction force to roll backward rapidly.
His body rushed toward the dark and deep ventilation duct opening that Qin Xiao had inadvertently glanced at earlier in an unbelievable posture that completely defied human biomechanics!
Her speed was astonishing, and her movements were so agile that she didn't seem like someone who had just been shot in the wrist!
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Shen Xingling shouted sharply and immediately took off to chase after him.
But it was too late.
The woman, like a slippery, venomous snake, shrank back and instantly disappeared into the vertical, bottomless, dark pipe, vanishing without a trace.
Only a single sentence, tinged with resentment and a strange interest, lingered in the air.
"Man, the ghost has remembered you..."
Qin Xiao recalled that the original novel did not mention the appearance of the ghost, but her demeanor and actions were exactly the same as Mo Rose's.
Could it be that...
Shen Xingling chased to the pipe entrance and shone her tactical flashlight downwards.
Below was a deep, dark place, deserted, with only howling winds blowing from its depths.
She angrily punched the rough wall.
"Damn it! She got away!"
Qin Xiao strolled over slowly, staring at the bottomless dark cave entrance, his expression remaining largely unchanged.
"There's no need to chase her. You can't catch her."
"How did you know?" Shen Xingling turned around abruptly, her tone filled with resentment and a hint of questioning that she herself was unaware of.
Qin Xiao did not answer her question directly.
His gaze shifted to her, and a cryptic smile curved his lips.
He extended a finger and gently touched Shen Xingling's chest, which was still slightly heaving due to the intense battle and tension just now.
"Because your body is far more honest than your mouth."
“Just now, I told you to shoot in the leg, and although you hesitated for a moment, you still fired.”
“I asked you to cover for me, and you didn’t even think for a fraction of a second.”
He withdrew his finger, leaned forward slightly, and whispered in her ear.
His voice was extremely low, with a captivating magnetism.
"Officer Shen, you may say no, but your body language tells you that you completely trust me, doesn't it?"
