She slowly jumped down along the edge of the tall building, each movement cautious, afraid of making any noise.
Finally, she reached the bottom of the building. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly heard the sharp sound of a signal flare.
"call out--!"
She looked back and saw a red plume of smoke rising above the tall building.
It turned out that his subordinate hadn't died completely; he had used his last bit of strength to send a message.
"Someone's causing trouble! Search quickly!" A series of urgent shouts came, and Xu Yuehuai knew that she had been discovered.
She quickly ran towards the wall beside her, nimbly vaulted over it, and disappeared into the night.
Xu Yuehuai ran through the darkness, the sound of her heartbeat echoing in her ears.
She knew she had to escape as quickly as possible, or the consequences of being caught would be dire. She kept changing direction, trying to shake off her pursuers.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally arrived at a secluded alley. She was panting heavily, her body utterly exhausted. But she dared not relax for a moment; she knew she was still in danger.
She leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, and tried to calm her breathing. She knew she had to stay calm; only then could she find a chance to escape.
Although Xu Yuehuai was exhausted, her will was as firm as iron. She knew that only by persevering could she escape the pursuit of that terrifying man and the encirclement of his men.
She took a deep breath, as if drawing upon all her courage and strength, and straightened her back once more, walking towards the darkness ahead.
The night was as dark as ink, swallowing everything around her, but Xu Yuehuai's eyes were only on what lay ahead, only on the other shore she longed to reach.
Her heartbeat echoed in the darkness, like a mournful battle song. Every step was fraught with difficulty and danger, but she did not retreat, she did not hesitate. Though her steps were heavy, her resolve grew stronger with each step. She knew this was her battle, and she had to win.
As night deepened, Xu Yuehuai's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, as if merging into the endless darkness.
"You bitch, don't run away!"
"You have nowhere to retreat!"
"Surrender! You're surrounded!"
However, at that moment, a group of figures suddenly appeared before her—the guards of that terrifying organization. They were armed, their faces contorted with rage, and they were chasing after Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai's heart tightened, but she remained calm and composed. She took a deep breath and made a decision in an instant.
She turned and rushed into a building, followed closely by the guards. For a moment, the entire building shook as if it were about to collapse from the sound of their footsteps.
Xu Yuehuai moved quickly through the hall, her eyes scanning the surroundings, searching for an opportunity to escape.
She saw that there were many people in the hall, men and women, young and old, and their eyes were all on Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai's heart skipped a beat; she knew she had to disguise herself to evade the guards' pursuit.
She hurried into the crowd, trying to blend in and conceal her presence. She ran around aimlessly, glancing left and right, then walking with her head down, afraid of being spotted by the guards.
Finally, she arrived at the entrance to the backstage area and walked in without hesitation.
The backstage area was dimly lit, but a group of beautiful girls were busy at work.
They were putting on makeup, changing clothes, or rehearsing, and each of their faces radiated light.
Xu Yuehuai's heart skipped a beat. She knew she could disguise herself as one of these girls and evade the guards' pursuit.
She approached a girl who was putting on makeup, smiled, and said, "Hello, I'm new here and not very familiar with the place yet. Could you please help me?"
The girl glanced at Xu Yuehuai, nodded, gestured for her to sit down, and then gave her some things.
Xu Yuehuai sat down and began applying makeup. Her fingers skillfully traced light lines across her face, like a professional makeup artist.
Her demeanor was natural and her expression focused, as if she had completely blended into the environment.
Xu Yuehuai stood in front of the mirror, a surge of indescribable excitement welling up inside her. She carefully examined herself in the mirror; her meticulously made-up face was completely transformed, as if she had become a different person.
His brows exuded a heroic air, and his eyes sparkled with determination and wit.
Her long, black hair was cleverly styled up, revealing her slender neck and delicate earrings. She wore simple clothes, yet her unique气质 (qi zhi, a kind of refined elegance or charm) was undeniable.
"Da da da..."
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence. The guards rushed into the room, their eyes sweeping over the girls, but none of them recognized Xu Yuehuai.
"Don't move!"
"Everyone stay where you are!"
"Put everything down!"
The girls around them were trembling with fright. They never expected so many men to suddenly rush into their dressing room. Some of the girls, who hadn't even finished changing their makeup, immediately crouched down in fright.
"ah--!"
"We are all innocent!"
"You all need to look carefully!"
The guards looked around among the girls, searching them carefully one by one.
However, they found nothing unusual. After searching around for a few hours, they turned around and left the backstage area, then immediately went to search other places.
Seeing the guards leave, Xu Yuehuai was overjoyed, knowing she had successfully blended in with the group of girls and evaded the guards' pursuit. However, this was only a temporary victory, and Xu Yuehuai knew she had to remain vigilant and not let her guard down in the slightest.
Suddenly, a tall, burly man walked into the room. His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Xu Yuehuai and the woman beside her. He pointed at the two of them and commanded, "You two, come out with me."
Xu Yuehuai's heart tightened, but she quickly composed herself. She took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, while secretly observing the man's expression.
His face held a hint of ruthlessness, his gaze sharp as a knife, sending chills down one's spine. But Xu Yuehuai knew she couldn't show any fear, or she would only put herself in a more dangerous situation.
Led by the man, Xu Yuehuai and the woman next to her were taken to a gladiatorial arena.
"Look! The girls are coming out!"
"Do you think they'll be torn to pieces or survive?"
"How could those two girls, who look so frail, have survived?"
"I bet they'll become prey for wild beasts!"
Hahahaha!
The atmosphere here was extremely tense, with shouts and cheers from the audience rising and falling. Xu Yuehuai's heart sank; she knew that what she was about to face was a life-or-death struggle.
The man led the two women to the edge of the field and pointed to a ferocious beast in the center, saying, "Whoever kills this beast first will live."
