Chapter 1 Extra: Quick Report of Gratitude - A Tragic Novel 05
Upon hearing the scream, Shen Yuzhou sprang up from the sofa as if on an emergency.
The assistant was startled by the screams coming from the butler on the second floor and rushed upstairs to check on the situation for his boss.
Xin Que was nowhere to be seen in the storage room, which was completely exposed at a glance.
The housekeeper covered his eyes and huddled in the corner, wailing incessantly.
The assistant then noticed that the butler was bleeding profusely from between his fingers.
"How could this happen?" The assistant was shocked. He squatted down at the door to check on the butler's condition and called for the doctor who was still on the first floor to come upstairs to help.
The doctor hurried upstairs, carefully pried open the housekeeper's hands covering his eyes, and looked grave.
"This is bad," the doctor exclaimed, noticing the protruding, rusty nail. He immediately called an ambulance. "He needs to get to the hospital right away to treat his wound!!!"
Shen Yuzhou slowly walked over.
"How could he be injured?" Shen Yuzhou felt a chill creep down his spine as he saw the empty storage room filled with clutter.
Was it Xin Que who made it?
No... impossible...
Xin Que has always been a pawn manipulated by him; she doesn't have that ability!
But his brain inappropriately replayed the scene of Xin Que crippling his arm and breaking his neck in the university cafeteria.
Shen Yuzhou seemed to have grasped a vague clue.
It all started from that time... everything changed from that time!
In all the countless rebirths before that, no matter how he tormented Xin Que, she could never escape his grasp.
Even though she was allergic to chili peppers, as long as he reminded her of the crime she had committed, she would silently accept it and no longer resist.
But everything changed the moment he forced Xin Que to come into contact with her allergen, just like he always did.
Xin Que not only dared to break his arm, but also dared to kill him outright.
The most terrifying thing is that he couldn't resist at all.
From that time onward, violent deaths followed one after another.
He was strangled to death in an alley near a bar while drunk, and then a man suddenly appeared in the hospital and killed him in his place...
Shen Yuzhou's bad premonition grew stronger.
Could it be that Xin Que has been possessed by something evil?
Or did Xin Que become twisted and insane from repeated torment?
Lost in thought, he accidentally bumped into the door of the storage room.
"Whoosh—"
Shen Yuzhou screamed, covered his eyes, staggered two steps, and crashed heavily into the wall behind him.
The special assistant rushed over to check on Shen Yuzhou's condition.
The doctor looked bewildered as yet another patient lay down before the ambulance arrived.
"It was a rusty nail..." The doctor was completely baffled. "Where did it come from?"
The assistant swallowed hard.
He carefully closed the door and stepped into the cramped storage room.
Following the direction in which the two men had fallen, the assistant rummaged through the clutter on the shelf and found a simple launching device.
An inconspicuous wire was hidden behind a pile of gift boxes against the wall and tied to the doorknob on the inside of the door.
The moment you move, the launching device aimed at the door will fire the long spikes.
The height is exactly at the level of a person's head.
...
"Shen Yuzhou is lying down again, but he shouldn't die this time."
Cheng Zheng received the message in the friend group of this identity and glanced back at the two of them.
The woman was sitting on a stool organizing clues, and Luo Huayi was busy drying her hair with a hairdryer.
Although she didn't get sick when she jumped to this point in time, Xin Que was soaking in the sea for half a day and then locked in the storage room for a night because of the setting. She was covered in the salty smell of seawater.
As soon as Xin Que and Luo Huayi arrived at Cheng Zheng's current residence, they went straight to the bathroom.
Cheng Zheng tossed the phone to her.
Luo Huayi made sure her hair was completely dry before putting the hairdryer aside.
"He still dares to curse you?" Luo Huayi's face darkened as she saw the barking in the group chat.
“The male protagonist is lucky and brave,” Xin Que commented, “but he has no value other than being lucky. The most important thing we need to figure out right now is to figure out the most important thing.”
"What exactly is going on in this world? The voice that sounds like a system, the scenes that switch with the protagonist's death..."
"Also, Tengfeng and his swarm of worker bees are there. Judging from that car crash, they've probably been targeting us all along."
"We also need to find a way to acquire firearms and seize the initiative in the firefight."
Cheng Zheng is researching this. "There is a very strange point about this world. There is no police to restrain order, but apart from the outlaw behavior of Shen Yuzhou, there is no other unusual activity."
"We've all checked separately. There's a place where you can freely leave the city, but there's no black market for trading weapons..."
Luo Hua thought of the tech company under his name, "And, the tech company I run is like a child's play."
"It doesn't resemble a normal company at all."
...
Shen Yuzhou's left eye was barely saved.
However, during his recovery period, his eyes had to be wrapped in gauze and he could not see.
The effects of general anesthesia can last for several hours after the surgery.
Shen Yuzhou felt drowsy and drifted off to sleep after being wheeled out of the operating room by the nurse.
I couldn't even see the nurse's face clearly.
...
Even Xin Que didn't expect meeting Shen Yuzhou to be so easy.
There is almost no order in this world.
The problem is that Shen Yuzhou is still under the effects of the anesthesia and is not fully conscious, making communication difficult.
When Shen Yuzhou regained consciousness, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar bedroom.
Xin Que and her bodyguard pushed open the door and entered.
This is the villa where Luo Huayi lives under her identity. To be on the safe side, Xin Que has instructed Cheng Zheng, whose identity has not yet been exposed, and Luo Huayi, who has no connection with the male lead, not to show themselves yet.
After all, Cheng Zheng is Shen Yuzhou's good brother on the surface, and Luo Huayi's technology company seems to be in the same industry as Shen Yuzhou.
Latency is better than active exposure.
She glanced at Shen Yuzhou, who was lying on the hospital bed in a daze, and frowned.
If her identity weren't so conspicuous in front of Shen Yuzhou, making her seem less valuable for espionage, she wouldn't want to meet Shen Yuzhou directly.
Shen Yuzhou can only see the world with his right eye. Because of his limited field of vision, he can only hear the sound of the door opening.
It wasn't until Xin Que walked to his right that Shen Yuzhou realized it was Xin Que again who had moved him out of the hospital!
"You..." Shen Yuzhou was furious; his left eye, which had just undergone surgery, was swollen and painful, but he still struggled to curse her, "You viperous woman!!!"
Xin Que "..."
She rarely argues with others.
real.
"ah!!!"
The bodyguard withdrew his leg expressionlessly, not even glancing at Shen Yuzhou, whom he had kicked off the bed.
Xin Que casually took the folding knife from the bodyguard, half-squatted down in front of Shen Yuzhou, grabbed Shen Yuzhou's hair, and forced him to look up.
Just as Shen Yuzhou was about to unleash a torrent of curses, the blade pressed against his lower eyelid activated forced silence.
"I ask, you answer, do you understand?" Xin Que looked at Shen Yuzhou with a warm expression and a gentle tone, "If you dare to hide a single word from me... you wouldn't want to know the consequences."
