Chapter 229 - What's Behind The Mask?

"Give me your phone," Zhihao immediately demanded as he crouched down to her level and reached his palm out in front of her. 

The hunter looked to be reluctant as she stayed silent. 

"Are you going to hand it over or not?" Zhihao clicked his tongue in annoyance. 

The hunter shook her head as she refused. 

"Hand it over!" Zhihao demanded as he shouted and held the gun to her forehead, "Do you think this panda mask is bulletproof? Can it save you from getting shot? You're not invincible, honey. Don't try to make it harder for yourself." 

If Wang GuiYing suddenly becoming a professional fighter wasn't shocking enough for everyone else, Zhihao's sudden change in behavior surely managed to shock them all to the core. 

The girl gulped as she looked down and shook her head. She seemed to be shivering from the fear and her voice sounded as if she was crying as well when she spoke up, "I can't do it...."

Zhihao scoffed as he put some pressure on the trigger just to scare the girl, "You can't or you won't?" 

The girl gulped as she stayed silent. 

"Don't make me repeat myself here. I'm already really angry and you don't want to see me lose it completely," Zhihao threatened and his voice sounded to be even deeper than usual. 

The girl shook her head once again as she responded, "I can't. I'll really die... I don't want to die! I don't want to die! You should be the one to die! You're the cause of this! All because of you! Die! Die! Die!" 

Her voice grew louder and louder with each word as she shouted at Zhihao's face. 

"Damn you," Zhihao cursed under his breath as he aimed the gun down at her thigh and shot. 

"Ahhhh!" She screamed in pain as she grabbed her leg that probably hurt like hell. 

"You'll die even if you don't give it to me," Zhihao spoke up, his voice sounding cold and unbothered even after having just shot the girl. 

Wang GuiYing gulped as his grip around the girl's shoulder loosened up unconsciously because of his shock. 

He had certainly never seen this side of Zhihao. 

This bloodthirsty cold demeanor which gave the illusion of the man resembling a demon... Zhihao didn't seem like Zhihao anymore. 

"You give it to me or I kill you and take it. What do you want it to be?" Zhihao questioned as he wiped the splattered blood off his face. 

The girl wailed in pain as she rolled on the floor but Zhihao didn't seem to pity her at all as he added, "I'm not a patient man and I won't be repeating myself." 

The girl cried and her mask almost came off but she immediately held tightly onto it so as not to show her face. 

Zhihao frowned as he noticed this small action that looked to be odd in his eyes. 

If you were shot on your thigh, you would naturally grab your leg in pain and not remember the mask that you wore. 

Why would she worry so much about keeping her mask on? 

It was almost as if she was afraid that they would be able to... Recognize her...?! 

Zhihao's eyes widened ever so slightly as he suddenly got confused. 

"Yah! Take your mask off," Zhihao ordered as he furrowed his eyebrows and glared at the girl. 

Her entire body paused for a second and she grabbed on more tightly to the mask as she frantically shook her head and refused. 

"You're not going to do it?" Zhihao scoffed, "Why? Are you afraid?" 

The girl gulped as she tried to struggle out of Wang GuiYing's hold but the man immediately tightened his grip and didn't let her escape. 

"If you give me your phone and take off your mask, I promise that we'll let you go alive," Zhihao spoke up as he tried to persuade the girl. 

He almost felt as if he had suddenly become a gangster. If the other players heard this, they would certainly nod their heads and agree with him since Zhihao really did look exactly like a gangster who was bullying the weak. 

The girl shook her head as she once again refused. 

"You're that determined?" Zhihao didn't know if he wanted to laugh or cry as he saw the girl's reluctance. 

"I wonder why~" Zhihao sang as he stood up, "If you don't want it the easy way, I guess you can't blame me for being a bit rude." 

The girl was clearly confused as to what Zhihao was saying but her confusion was cleared within a few seconds as she heard Zhihao speak up. 

"Tian Xifeng, search her. Take her phone and get rid of that mask," Zhihao ordered as he took a step back and kept the gun pointed at the girl in case she tries to do something. 

Tian Xifeng was surprised to suddenly hear the man instruct her to do something like this but she still stood up and walked over. 

"Gege, you keep surprising me today," Tian Xifeng commented as she passed by Zhihao. 

Zhihao shrugged his shoulder and didn't bother giving her a response. 

When the girl saw Tian Xifeng approaching her, she started struggling and screaming even more. 

"Damn it! Stay still!" Wang GuiYing scolded as he tried his best to restrain her. 

"Get off! Get off! Don't come near me! Die! Just die!" The girl screamed like a maniac and even Tian Xifeng was annoyed with it. 

"Yah! Why does your every sentence end with you wanting to kill us? Are you that thirsty for blood?" Tian Xifeng clicked her tongue as she questioned in annoyance, "If you want someone to die that badly, go ahead. I have no problem with you dying. If Mastermo doesn't pull the trigger then I will so you better shut up."

"Die! Die! Die!" The girl shouted, repeating the same thing over and over again. 

Tian Xifeng shook her head as she concluded that this girl was a gone case. This game had truly driven her to insanity. 

Without bothering to talk to her more, Tian Xifeng went straight ahead and searched the girl to see where the phone was. 

"No! Get away! Don't!" The girl continued to shout. 

Tian Xifeng took out the phone from the girl's pocket and smacked her head with it as she spoke up, "Be a little polite. Why do you have to go and scream like that? It makes me feel like the bad guy." 

"You're the bad guy! You deserve to die! Die! Just die already!" 

"..." Tian Xifeng had never met such a person who was willing to kill others and say that they were the bad guys when they clearly did nothing against her to receive such treatment. 

Tian Xifeng handed the phone over to Zhihao before turning back to look at the girl as she asked, "I don't even know you. Why are you so determined to see my corpse?" 

"Just die! Who cares about the reason?! You deserve to die! Go and Die!" 

Tian Xifeng chuckled and smiled wickedly as she looked at the panda mask, "I care."

"I care about the reason so let's see who you are," Her hands reached out to touch the panda mask but the girl somehow managed to get free from Wang GuiYing's hold. She immediately scratched Tian Xifeng's face and started attacking the woman. 

"Ah!" Tian Xifeng felt pain and retreated a few steps while Wang GuiYing tried to get a hold of the girl once again. 

The girl threw a punch at Tian Xifeng's face but her fist was caught by Liang Feng who reacted fast enough. 

Tian Xifeng gulped as she saw this but said nothing as anger slowly started boiling inside her. 

Liang Feng sighed as he twisted the girl's hand and pinned her to the ground with his knee on her back, making sure that there was no way for her to escape again. 

"Get off of me! Get off! Why are you doing this?! Get away! Just leave me alone! You deserve to die! You all deserve to rot in hell!" 

Liang Feng chuckled dryly as he heard this, "Believe me, we really don't deserve such things. You're the one that's going to rot in jail for trying to kill us." 

Tian Xifeng nodded her head as she straightened her back and got closer to the girl as she once again tried to take the mask off her face with the use of force. 

Unexpectedly, it was Zhihao who stopped her this time. 

"Let it be," Zhihao spoke up as he intervened. 

"Eh?" Tian Xifeng frowned as she turned her head up to face the man. 

It was Zhihao who ordered her to take the mask off and it was also him who ordered for her to stop. 

This man... Why was he changing his mind faster than Tian Xifeng could change clothes?! 

"If she doesn't want to then don't force her. Let her stay anonymous," Zhihao held the phone up as he added, "We already got what we wanted. There's no need to fight her more."
