121 A REWARD PART 9 (1/2)

Xue Lin's head hurt. She frowned sensing the dull pain back in her head. She moved her fingers and slowly opened her eyes. She found herself in a dark room. There was not a single trace of light. The room was pitch black. She couldn't see or sense anything inside the house.

Darkness didn't scare her. It will never scare her. She only thought about how she ended up unconscious in a room.

--------

Half an hour ago, she was walking on the dark corridor. She casually asked Puja, ”Where are we going?”

Puja answered in a light tone, ”My chamber. I live here sometimes.”

Xue Lin nodded and suddenly thought of something. She frowned and asked ”Hey, I'm just curious. But you said something like – he wrote the message with Tingfeng's blood. How did you know that it was a 'He'?”

Xue Lin couldn't remember properly what Puja said back then. It was – He wrote the message with Lin Tingfeng's blood. He wrote, if anyone dares to go against Fa Xue Lin, they have to die.

After asking the question, Xue Lin's legs paused. She was unable to move anymore. Chills ran down her spine. She knew she made a huge mistake by asking her this question. She shouldn't have asked the question. She should have left before things would get more dangerous. She was 99.99% sure that Puja knew the killer.

Upon hearing her question, Puja stopped on her track and there was a long silence in the corridor. It made Xue Lin's throat dry. She stepped back a little. Puja slowly turned around and faced her. ”Xiao Lin, you are the same as ever. Too slow.”

Suddenly Xue Lin felt someone was behind her. She tried to look back – but it was too late.

Thwack!

Someone hit her from behind and she lost consciousness immediately.

----

Xue Lin wanted to slap her forehead. 'Why didn't I notice the clue before? Why am I so dumb?' She was known as 'tube light' back in the school because her brain worked slower than others. Just because Puja was her ex-classmate, it didn't mean she had to let her guard down. If she used her sixth sense earlier, she would have never come to this place.

But it wasn't the time for lament or regret. Xue Lin felt that she was laying on a soft couch. Her body didn't feel weird anywhere. Fortunately, her hands and legs weren't tied. She sat down and tried to feel where she was by moving her legs on the floor.
