Chapter 231 One Glance and You're Dead
Ji Xinghan never revealed his name to Zhang Xiaoxiao.
Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in panic: "Ah? I..."
She glanced at her watch. Ji Xinghan pulled out a dagger and patted her face: "Want to contact help?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao quickly said, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I've heard people talk about your appearance. I only went to ask for help when I saw it was you. I guessed it was you, so I followed you. I didn't mean anything by it. I just felt safe with you."
Ji Xinghan's expression turned stern: "I don't have time to listen to your lies. My first question to you is—what's the name of the person who sent you? Answer immediately!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around: "Nobody's here, it's all a misunderstanding..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Xinghan slid his dagger downwards and stabbed her in the shoulder with a "plop".
Fresh blood gushed out instantly.
Zhang Xiaoxiao screamed in agony.
Ji Xinghan: "Speak!" With a "plop," the dagger slid down again and pierced her forearm.
Blood gushed out, and in just those two sips, Zhang Xiaoxiao's clothes on her left arm were soaked with blood.
Ji Xinghan: "Speak!"
Her dagger continued to slide down, and Zhang Xiaoxiao was terrified: "I'll talk, I'll talk, stop!"
I've never seen anyone interrogate someone like this before. They're so impatient, they don't even wait for an answer before poking and prodding people all the way.
Ji Xinghan placed the dagger in her hand: "Fine, I don't want to hear a single word of nonsense. If you can't give me any useful information, I'll cut off your little finger first!"
She sneered, "A little finger can't be healed with a bandage. After the little finger, cut the middle finger, then the thumb. I'm not going to stop and listen to your lies. After all, you have so many fingers, it would take a minute to cut them all."
Tears streamed down Zhang Xiaoxiao's face as she shouted, "Gongsun Ban, that's the name of the person who contacted me!"
Ji Xinghan raised an eyebrow: "Why did he contact you? How did you two get in touch?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "I...I was poisoned. I told him in the chat channel, and he contacted me and said that as long as I did what he said, he could help me get treatment."
She glanced at Ji Xinghan with fear, then hesitated for a moment.
Ji Xinghan pressed the dagger against the base of her little finger: "What kind of poison?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao became even more frightened and said in a trembling voice, "Could you please pick up the dagger? I'm afraid of pain. I'll be obedient and answer whatever you ask."
Ji Xinghan remained unmoved: "Say it, three, two..."
"One look and I'll die! Ah, it's this poison! It doesn't have a name, everyone just jokingly gave it that name!" Zhang Xiaoxiao screamed in terror. "I'm sorry, Ji Xinghan! I still have a use for you! Don't cut my finger, it hurts, waaaaah!"
Ji Xinghan sighed inwardly, "Just as I thought!"
She messaged Song Zhuo privately: "Do you remember the name Zhang Xiaoxiao?"
Song Zhuo: "Zhang Xiaoxiao? I know her. She mentioned in the chat that she was infected with 'one look and you die,' the virus that can be transmitted by simply making eye contact with someone. What? You've met her?"
Song Zhuo asked anxiously, "How are you?"
Ji Xinghan was filled with mixed feelings. From the moment she saw Zhang Xiaoxiao, she felt that something was wrong.
At first, it was just a suspicion, but then the suspicion grew stronger, and now, it's finally confirmed.
She contracted this fatal virus!
hateful!
In the end, we couldn't dodge it!
Ji Xinghan steadied himself and glanced at Zhang Xiaoxiao.
Zhang Xiaoxiao was so frightened that her face turned as white as a ghost. She trembled and her body shook like a leaf. Tears streamed down her face as she whispered and begged for mercy: "Waaah, Ji Xinghan, if you really can't take it, just kill me. I'm going to die anyway. Don't torture me. I'm afraid of pain. Waaah!"
Ji Xinghan sheathed the dagger: "I understand, you infected me with this virus."
Zhang Xiaoxiao sobbed, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, sob sob, I deserve to die!"
Ji Xinghan said coldly, "Answer whatever I ask, without uttering a single word of nonsense or lie. If you do, I'll chop off both your hands!"
She sneered, "Anyway, you've ruined me terribly, I want to tear you to pieces!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao, her face streaked with tears and snot, nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, ask away."
Ji Xinghan: "Tell me in detail how Gongsun Ban contacted you, and what he looks like?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao said, "I was terrified because I was cursed with 'dying at the sight of something.' I told him about it in the chat channel, and a person named Gongsun Ban contacted me and said that as long as I did what he said, he could cure my illness."
I didn't believe him at first, but he said he was an insider tester, knew a lot, and was confident he could treat me.
Since I was going to die anyway, I decided to give it a try. Then, he gave me a card, told me to blindfold myself with a black cloth, and teleported me to a location. Then, he led me into a forest, not far from here.
Then he messaged me privately, telling me where I was and that all I had to do was make eye contact with him and infect him with the virus, and that would be the end of my mission.
I just succeeded. He didn't give me the antidote; he only told me that if I could lead you to a place, he would have a way to get the antidote.
I had no choice but to keep following you, trying to lure you away.
Unexpectedly, sob sob..."
The rest is self-explanatory.
Ji Xinghan pondered: "So, you've never met Gongsun Ban?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No, I've only heard his voice, and it sounds like he's not young."
Ji Xinghan pondered for a moment, repeatedly thinking about the events of the day, and roughly sorted out the sequence of events.
Ren Jie was infected with the blinding virus, probably at the behest of Gongsun Ban, who wanted to infect her but failed. So, he used a map to lure her to this place.
This place is special; even if you call your friends, they can't drag you away. It's a prime location for murder.
However, Gongsun Ban probably didn't dare to make a direct move, likely because he knew she was quite formidable and wasn't confident in his ability to succeed.
Ren Jie died, and he then brought Zhang Xiaoxiao over to spread the virus. He also wanted Zhang Xiaoxiao to lure him to a place where there was definitely a trap.
Wait, could Gongsun Ban actually get the antidote?
Could it be...?
Ji Xinghan's heart stirred.
She is in a critical situation; she has been poisoned by a drug that kills with a single glance. She must find an antidote immediately, and to find an antidote, she must find Gongsun Ban!
Ji Xinghan asked Zhang Xiaoxiao, "How much longer do you have to live?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao's tears flowed freely: "I...I've been poisoned for two hours, how many more hours can I live?"
Ji Xinghan thought for a moment, took out a capsule from his storage backpack, forced it into Zhang Xiaoxiao's mouth, and lifted her chin to make her swallow the capsule.
"The capsule you took will be fine for up to an hour. But after that, if there's no antidote, the effects will kick in, and your internal organs will slowly rot. You'll be in excruciating pain then, a hundred times worse than you are now!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao cried again.
Ji Xinghan continued to intimidate, "I'll give you the antidote, and it will cure you. Now, listen to me!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly: "I'll listen, I'll listen to whatever you say!"
Ji Xinghan put her down and had her take out a healing bandage to bandage her arm, so that at least it wouldn't look like she was injured.
Then she combed her hair, washed her face, and changed her clothes, making her look clean and tidy. Then she said, "Come on, take me to the place Gongsun Ban asked you to lead me to, and we'll get the antidote!"
