Chapter 194: I Won’t Let You Escape Me!
“How much do you want? Is a big slab enough for you?” asked Bei Tai as he turned to look at Colombo. He was in the kitchen, holding on to a table knife as he sliced a loaf of bread.
Colombo stared at the TV screen. His face was a mask of surprise and he exclaimed, “Oh, my God! Come here quick! Something happened!”
Bei Tai came out while holding onto the table knife. He asked, “What happened?”
On the TV screen, the morning news was covering a special report. Depicted in the screen was the murder scene in Hanbury Street. A reporter was doing a live coverage of the news as he stood outside the police cordon.
The news got Lun Tai’s attention as well and the three of them stood in the living room, staring at the TV screen.
At that same moment, in the kitchen, there was a row of sharp kitchen knives… a few among those sharp kitchen knives silently floated up. Seemingly under the control of an invisible force, the kitchen knives slowly turned so that their sharp blades faced the three people standing in the living room. Little by little, they floated over…
“What news is this?” Bei Tai grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth even as he was speaking.
“Hanbury Street! That is… that is the where the two of them were headed to find Black Annie! It seems… someone had been killed!”
Lun Tai’s mind raced and he quickly opened up his system interface. Accessing the guild channel, he sent over a message.
“En? Message cannot be sent? What is going on?” Lun Tai’s face sank and he said, “Make a call to the Guild Leader!”
Bei Tai quickly pulled out a mobile phone. Just as he was about to make the call…
Air piercing sounds suddenly echoed out from behind them!
As a veteran who had experienced various instance dungeons, Bei Tai was quick to react!
He quickly moved his body to the side and a sharp kitchen knife grazed past his neck!
The second knife came whizzing over and Bei Tai roared out loudly. His right hand, which was holding onto a table knife, was raised, and he deflected the incoming kitchen knife with a resounding “ding”. The deflected knife flew away and pierced itself into the wall. The hilt of the knife quivered!
“Big Bro!” Bei Tai shouted and saw that Lun Tai had, at an unknown moment jumped onto the sofa. The poor forensic doctor was pinned down beneath him.
“I’m fine!” Lun Tai spat out. A kitchen knife flew over, grazing his forehead before stabbing into the armrest area of the sofa.
“A ah!”
A wretched scream rang out from within the toilet!
Without showing any hesitation, Bei Tai charged forward. He pummelled through the door and broke into the toilet!
Entering the toilet, he saw that poor Polly had her neck firmly tied by the shower curtains rope. Her entire body was lifted up and her two legs trashed about in desperation. The towel rack was overturned as a result – the woman was probably in the middle of relieving herself and she had no time to even pull up her pants.
With a table knife in hand, Bei Tai pounced forward and sliced off the shower curtains rope. The woman fell heavily onto the floor, her face a mask of red as she desperately tried to breathe.
At the same time, Lun Tai pulled out the kitchen knife that was pierced into the sofa and he rushed toward the bedroom. With one kick, he forced open the door and entered.
Then, Lun Tai saw something shocking!
In the bedroom, Dr Mu was still asleep on the bed. Beside the bed, however, was a translucent vengeful spirit. The female spirit was right there beside the bed!
In her hand was a knife. The sharp blade of the knife was aimed right at Dr Mu’s heart!
Lun Tai howled out and he threw the kitchen knife in his hand forward.
The female vengeful spirit abruptly turned around and the kitchen knife simple flew past her body to pierce into the bedroom’s wall.
The female vengeful spirit opened her mouth and she screeched out at Lun Tai with a ferocious expression.
By then, Lun Tai had already pulled out the revolver placed in his belt.
It was the special revolver loaned to him by Phoenix!
Bang!
Bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Lun Tai did not hesitate to pull the trigger. He unloaded all the bullets in one go without pause!
The bullets struck the female vengeful spirit’s body and she shrieked out mournfully. Under the barrage of the bullets, her body was forced back before slamming onto the wall.
The bullets exploded upon her spirit body, creating several holes as a result.
Lun Tai had emptied the revolver’s ammo and it issued out “ka ka” sounds.
The glow on the female vengeful spirit’s translucent body dimmed considerably. Then, with a sharp wail, her body dissipated, transforming into fragments, which disappeared into the air.
Lun Tai grabbed hold of Dr Mu and pulled him out of the bed. He slapped Dr Mu on the face and found that he could not wake Dr Mu up. Faced with no choice, he slung Dr Mu over his shoulders and ran out of the bedroom.
In the living room, Bei Tai had already pulled the poor Polly out from the toilet. Bei Tai had wrapped her up in a blanket.
As for Colombo, he was trembling as he attempted to shrink himself into the sofa.
“We need to get out of here, fast!” Lun Tai howled.
His decision was extremely correct!
Just as he finished shouting, a sharp scream rang out from within the bedroom.
The female vengeful spirit charged out from within the bedroom!
Lun Tai quickly retreated. While carrying Dr Mu to a corner, he used one hand to place a bullet into the revolver.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out and the bullet struck the vengeful spirit right in between her eyebrows. The female vengeful spirit shrieked out harshly; then, like a cold wind, her body disappeared into the wall of the living room!
“Hurry up and move!” shouted Lun Tai toward Colombo.
He handed Dr Mu over to Bei Tai. For Bei Tai, carrying both Dr Mu and Polly was not a problem. Lun Tai took the opportunity to quickly reload the revolver with the special bullets given by Phoenix.
They ran out of the apartment and arrived at the corridor outside.
