Chapter 102: Realm of Mortals (5)

The rain started at 11:30 in the morning and stopped at 7:30 in the evening.

As it rained, the sky turned dark, making peoples hearts gloomy and easy to feel dejected, yet also easy to become irritated.

The girl who was live streaming was killed in her rental apartment, and no one knew who the murderer was.

Tang Cuo looked at the darkened screen and didnt move for a few seconds. The screen was black but the sound was still on. It turned dim because someone was blocking the camera.

He could clearly hear the girls stifled cry for help, the clanging of the chair falling to the ground amidst her struggle and the sound of her being dragged away.

The time was 1:03 in the afternoon.

She was a game live streamer. Did this have anything to do with the student who was chided by his parents for showering the live streamers with expensive gifts? Tang Cuo creased his eyebrows, feeling as though the sound of raindrops was right next to his ears and the temperature around him had suddenly dropped sharply.

He stood up and looked at the entire cemetery. Besides the fact that the formation of cell phone tombstones here was creepy and absurd, outside the cemetery, everything was engulfed in complete darkness, just like the arena he was sent to on the day he died. He couldnt escape at all.

After a while, his eyes fell on the phone screen again.

Who was the murderer? Who was the victim? He couldnt find another connection for the time being, so he decisively put this phone down and picked up the takeaway staffs phone, continuing his investigation.

His movements seemed to become a tad faster.

Xiao Tong propped his chin and solemnly watched him. He wanted to take a sip of coffee but found that it had gone cold. He suddenly smiled, put the cup down, then once again, he carefully gazed at Tang Cuo to continue passing his judgment.

This little friend is playing the game so seriously, what a delightful sight.

On the monitoring screen, Tang Cuo was thinking while walking around. If the takeaway staff failed to deliver the meal in time because of the incident at Xishan Road, and the person who ordered the meal failed to eat it in time, what chain reaction would happen?

A moment later, after meticulous consideration and elimination, Tang Cuo finally found the tombstone of the one that he suspected to be the orderer.

The phone interface showed his company group, where the leader was lecturing and the employees were sending flowers and applauding emojis. It was a neat row of copy-and-paste.

The orderer didnt say anything, so the leader @ him and asked him why he didnt answer.

Manager Wang: @Chen Jun Have you seen the latest messages? Why didnt you reply? Do you have any objection to what I just said? Feel free to say it.

Manager Wang: We are an inclusive and loving company like a big family, we allow employees to have different opinions.

Finance department Sister Li: @Chen Jun Indeed, Xiao Jun, what Mr. Wang said is all very important. Youre so young, you must take it to heart. This will help you in the future, you know?

Jian Li: Sister Li is right [Flowers].

Unsurprisingly, the young man named Chen Jun exploded.

Chen Jun: Whats my opinion? I have no opinion!

Chen Jun: Im so busy every day that I cant even eat lunch, and I have to suck up to you in this WeChat group, every day! Every day, you tell me that young people should work hard for the sake of our dreams and our future, but no one cares about how much I could earn! If Im on the phone, youll say Im not focused, if Im not on the phone to listen to your preaching, youll say that I dont fit in, that I dont tag along well with this group!

So Chen Jun, who was considered to not mix in well with the others, was fired, and thus out of rage, he lamented to the takeaway staff.

Tang Cuo searched and searched as he walked like the wind, a stern expression consistently worn on his face.

Zheng Yingying summoned all her strength to pull the dagger out, then stabbed another monster doctor with a twist of her wrist. But, this monster had been aggravated by the miserable state of his ally, thus instead of stepping back, he rushed towards Zheng Yingying. The little girl immediately fell back on the hospital bed, resulting in the dagger only able to slash the monsters arm.

At the same time, the monster doctor at the end of the bed grabbed Zheng Yingyings ankles again.

Ah! Zheng Yingying felt as though the bones at her ankles had broken. As the monsters claws poked in, the severe pain caused her to tear up for a moment.

Her hands trembled violently, but the pain kept her completely conscious and allowed her to throw the dagger.

The [Nameless Dagger] brushed the monster doctors neck, scratched it and fell to the ground with a clang.

Distracted by the sound, the monsters turned back to look at the primitive dagger on the ground, their eyes brimming with fear and yearning, but neither of them dared to reach out to pick it up it was just like an animals primal instinct when facing imminent danger.

The three monster doctors were all injured by the dagger, but not deeply enough. Becoming sluggish after being stabbed in the chest, the first monster roared loudly and was about to dash towards the hospital bed. Its eyes had turned completely red, as though it now only wanted to tear Zheng Yingying into pieces.

At this critical moment, Zheng Yingying grabbed her cloak and wrapped it around the hand that had escaped the shackles, then she blocked the monsters gigantic, bloody mouth. Those fangs clearly wanted to bite deep into her arm, but they werent able to pierce through the cloak and even almost broke upon contact.

Zheng Yingyings eyes gleamed a little. The dagger once again appeared in her palm, and with a flip of her wrist, it landed into the monsters jaw.

After being stabbed twice, the monster totally went crazy and slumped to the ground in pain, unable to get up at all.

Zheng Yingying used the cloak to protect herself while fighting with the other two monsters, but even though the cloak had high defence capability, it wasnt a hard armour. Her bones were smashed and her internal injuries continued to accumulate.

The monster doctors finally managed to suppress her, and the huge needle plunged down again, injecting the red liquid into her body. The icy cold sedatives made Zheng Yingyings body quiver. She regained a tinge of sanity from the pain and, once again, struggled extremely hard.

The more she struggled, the more unstable the needle became, and the injection was interrupted.

Over and over again.

She was taking a gamble.

In fact, the curses impact was ongoing. When the two monster doctors fought with her, she had slashed them several times. As long as she lasted long enough, they would fall down first.

What was more, the [Nameless Dagger] had a devouring effect, and their powers would continue to be absorbed into her body. Although their strength wasnt high enough and couldnt provide her much, to Zheng Yingying at the present, it was no different from the Elixir of Life.

Eventually, with two loud thud, the monster doctors slumped down, and the wounds on their bodies caused by the [Nameless Dagger] turned as black as thick ink. At a glance, the sight could make anyone scared stiff.

On the hospital bed, Zheng Yingying didnt move. As her red blood spread on the red cloak, it was difficult to tell if it was the colour of blood or the cloak itself.

The huge syringe fell to the ground, with about a quarter of the liquid sedatives still left in it.

A crow standing on a tree outside the window nodded its head with satisfaction, but it didnt come closer.

Suddenly, the door of the consulting room was pushed open, then an ordinary-looking male player walked in, stopped in front of the hospital bed and looked at Zheng Yingying with a complicated expression.

It was apparent that he had been waiting outside the door for a long time, but when he heard the movements in the room, he never came in.

At this moment, his gaze shifted from Zheng Yingyings intact eye to the dagger she was clutching. He swallowed hard, looked at her face again with uncertainty and hesitantly stretched out his hand.

His fingertips slowly got closer to the [Nameless Dagger]. The initial hesitation gradually turned into resolution, and the light in his eyes became brighter. But just as he was about to touch the dagger, Zheng Yingying suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, hitting him hard in the shoulder and knocking him to the ground. Recklessly, she rushed off the bed and pressed him down.

Petrified, the man immediately reached down to his waist in an attempt to draw his blade, but Zheng Yingyings dagger was already on his neck, making him unable to move.

A drop of blood dripped from Zheng Yingyings chin to his cheek.

Huanhuan. Zheng Yingyings said with a hoarse voice, then the corners of her swollen mouth tugged up into a grin: Bad boy.
