Watch Out! Danger Ahead

Chapter 15



Chapter 15

The space covered an extensive area. The doctor knew that because he had walked quite a distance to get to his location. If he did not take the opportunity to kill number two, allowing her to escape, it would be hard to take her down. After all, it was such a vast space.

Since he did not have access to water or food, he could not hold out for much longer. Allowing the problem to drag on would not be beneficial to him at all. Hence, he had to take the chance to kill the office lady right there and then. Once that was taken care of, he could figure out what to do next.

As for Song Qingxiao, she was close to death. It would be a simple feat to settle her after he had dealt with number two. She was not standing too far away from the doctor, which was why he was able to catch up with her in no time. He caught her hair and pulled hard, causing her to fall backward.

She shrieked in surprise. In her panic, she flailed her arms madly in an attempt to grab hold of something to steady herself. However, the doctor did not give her a chance. He thrust the fountain pen that he had previously used to graze Song Qingxiao’s face and stabbed the office lady’s face and neck.

At that point in time, everybody fought for their lives, so there was no reason to hold back. The office lady uttered a shrill cry of misery and reached out to attack the doctor’s eye. The power possessed by people on the verge of death was terrifying.

The doctor’s judgment was correct. The office lady’s ability to fight back was far stronger than Song Qingxiao. Her legs kicked out violently, and soon, two long tracks appeared on the ground.

Her body wriggled like a fish. Her hips moved up and down forcefully. The doctor could hardly keep her under control as she fought back in the face of danger. She had long fingernails, which she used as a weapon in that critical moment as she aimed them toward the doctor’s eyes.

The doctor gasped as his eyes were attacked. He pulled the office lady’s hair forcefully in retaliation. It was as though he wanted to pull her scalp off. She was forced to turn her head to one side, exposing her neck that had already been pricked several times by the fountain pen.

The nib of the pen was sharply curved, and there was some flesh on it. A great deal of blood gushed out from where the pen had pierced the office lady. The office lady let out a pitiful cry. Her chin was clenched tightly, and she swung her head violently in an attempt to get out of her predicament.

In a turn of fate, the crisis that Song Qingxiao faced had befallen the office lady. Each time the pen entered her flesh, her body stiffened. The veins in her neck bulged, and blood flowed more rapidly out of the wound each time the pen was withdrawn.

She should not have fallen prey so easily. However, she lost her chance when she chose not to escape the situation earlier.

Song Qingxiao fell to the ground limply as she slid along the tank. She felt like her limbs did not belong to her. After her temples had been hit, she felt as though she could not catch her breath. She opened her mouth wide as she tried to take deep breaths in, looking like a dying fish gasping for air.

She could hear the office lady’s shrill screams and the sound of the moving grass as she struggled. Through Song Qingxiao’s blurry vision, she could see the doctor in the midst of killing the office lady with his back facing her.

The both of them were fighting fiercely in their struggle for survival. They fought for their lives, so neither of them noticed Song Qingxiao—who leaned against the tank—had begun to open her eyes. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with killing intent.

After she had experienced the threat of death, Song Qingxiao was unbelievably calm in that critical moment. She knew that she was like an arrow at the end of its flight. Her energy was completely spent. Even though the doctor had his back towards her, if she tried to attack him with her dagger, it was unlikely that she would be able to kill him. At the most, she would just injure him.

At that moment, the lady’s voice became weaker and weaker. She was suffering a significant loss at the hands of the doctor, and it was only a matter of time before the doctor killed her. It would be better for Song Qingxiao to conserve her energy and wait for her next opportunity to come!

She once again tried to calm herself down. Apart from breathing, she minimized all other motions in an attempt to recover her strength. The doctor had already considered her a goner. However, he did not notice that her trembling arm concealed a dagger in her sleeve, and it slid down bit by bit. In the end, it finally slipped into her palm, and she gripped it tightly like she held on to a lifeline.

After the office lady’s neck had been stabbed seven to eight times, her entire neck looked like a pincushion. Her struggles grew weaker, and her cries gradually became softer. Blood poured out of each stab wound and joined to flow down her neck in a stream. Her pupils dilated as her body twitched involuntarily. The life disappeared from her eyes.

The card that belonged to number two in their consciousness flipped over. Only after the doctor was sure that she had stopped breathing did he release his arm. He supported himself with both his arms as he lay on the ground panting hard.

The fountain pen had been completely deformed after he had used it to kill number two. He glanced at it and casually tossed it aside. His palms were covered in blood. The doctor panted heavily as he wiped his palms on his shirt.

The doctor turned back to look at Song Qingxiao, who leaned against the large tank. Her arms were on the ground. Her breathing was shallow, but she was clearly still breathing. He never thought that the woman he assumed would be an easy target would somehow avoid death ages ago and still be alive then!

The doctor closed his eyes forcefully, enduring the sharp pain in his eye that had been scratched.

There were a total of nine cards, and seven of the cards had flipped over. The only ones remaining were the one in the center and the card to the right of it. Both still showed a red pattern on a black background. It seemed to indicate that once the card on the right had flipped over, only then would the person on the card in the center be able to survive.

The doctor did not want to spend another second in that blasted place. Even if the chance of leaving the space was only a guess, the doctor was not willing to give up. He pushed himself up, holding the mouse in one hand as he crawled in the direction of Song Qingxiao.

Since the doctor had killed the office lady he considered the biggest threat to him, his guard against Song Qingxiao was low. He considered her no more dangerous than an ant since she had lost all ability to retaliate.

He planned to leave the place quickly after he had killed Song Qingxiao. The office lady’s scratches had injured his eye, and he was worried about the risk of infection. He could not wait to get back to the real world. He wanted to live and was concerned about losing his sight.

His impatience caused the doctor to let down his guard. When he wrapped the mouse cord around Song Qingxiao’s neck, he did not notice that her body was wound up tightly.

Since the cord was wrapped around Song Qingxiao’s neck, the doctor tied a knot in a well-practiced manner. Joy appeared on his face as though he had already completed the job. In the next moment, he forcefully tugged the cord as he prepared to end Song Qingxiao’s life. However, the person who was like a bag of sand, which should have completely lost all ability to resist, suddenly used her legs to hook his thighs.

Song Qingxiao had saved up all her energy for that one move. The doctor had not expected it, so his body fell directly toward Song Qingxiao. In his panic, he noticed that Song Qingxiao had opened her eyes, which had been shut the whole time until that moment.

His terrified expression was reflected in her bloodshot eyes. He had no time to stretch out his arms to break his fall. Song Qingxiao had raised her hand that held the dagger and stabbed it into his neck.

As the dagger plunged into his flesh, the doctor heard a sound that he was familiar with. The faint, almost imperceptible sound of human flesh being sliced. He would not have heard it if he was not stabbed in a location that was so close to his ear.

The doctor wondered where Song Qingxiao had gotten hold of her weapon. He regretted his earlier carelessness because he was so sure that victory was at hand. He never expected that he would die at her hands.

Since the danger was over, he could only feel his neck swell up. He did not feel any pain. Instead, it felt as though he had been punched, and his entire body was powerless. Subconsciously, he let go of the cord that he had wrapped tightly around Song Qingxiao’s neck. He wanted to touch his wound. However, Song Qingxiao’s attack left him with no chance to react.

She gritted her teeth and forcefully twisted the dagger to enlarge the doctor’s neck wound. The sensation of pain finally came and caused the doctor to break out in cold sweat. He understood the situation and reached out to grab Song Qingxiao’s hand in hopes of stopping her from making the wound bigger. At the same time, he used his other hand to tighten the mouse cord wrapped around her neck.

At that point, the struggle would be determined by who could hold on until the very last second. The person who gave up first would die!
