Chapter 136 The gears of fate begin to grind
After running about five or six floors, Baichuan Qiu finally couldn't run anymore.
He carefully set Natalie down and leaned over, breathing heavily.
Natalie always felt her palms were sticky, and when she raised her hands to check, she found that her hands were covered in blood.
She seemed to realize something and took Baichuanqiu's hand: "Baichuan, are you hurt?"
Bai Chuanqiu waved his hand, pointed to the cut on his neck that had just been made by the dagger, and said calmly: "It's okay, just a scratch."
There were constant footsteps coming from upstairs——
"Find a place to hide first." Bai Chuanqiu pushed Natalie and picked up the pistol he had just snatched. "I can deal with them."
Natalie gripped the gun tightly, her eyes filled with worry: "Baichuan, you——"
"Don't worry." Baichuan Qiu wiped the pistol in his hand and chuckled.
Alas, if I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have mentioned the baby’s full-month banquet. Now, it has become a flag.
Then he pushed Natalie and pressed her to the corner of the stairs: "Hide quickly."
Natalie pursed her lips, nodded heavily, and then squatted in the corner.
After confirming that Natalie's position was very hidden, Baichuan Qiu rolled on the ground again, quickly eliminated the footprints on the ground, and then continued to run downstairs.
Natalie covered her mouth and held her breath, and soon heard the sound of a group of people coming down the stairs.
The footsteps were so rapid and almost close at hand that Natalie was so nervous that the hairs on her body were about to stand up.
Suddenly, someone stopped.
Natalie's heart skipped a beat.
"There's blood here! Looks like they went down! Chase them!"
Then the footsteps faded away again.
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.
……
Baichuan Qiu and the group of guys started a guerrilla war on the third floor.
With the support of the two skills [Fighting Expert] and [Escape Master], Baichuan Qiu was invincible and quickly knocked down the group of killers one by one.
After breaking all the hands and feet of these people, Baichuan Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at his empty pistol, threw it aside casually, and sat down helplessly in a pool of blood.
The system was extremely worried: "Host, your wound——"
"fine."
Baichuan Qiu shook his head, his neck made a cracking sound, his face was pale, and his originally dazzling golden eyes took on some darkness, and a strange scarlet was gradually spreading in the center of his pupils.
"These people... Host, won't you take action?" The system looked at the group of people lying on the ground, "If you kill them, then the evaluation-"
"Need not."
Baichuan Qiu directly interrupted the system.
The system fell silent again.
In fact, it doesn't understand why the host still doesn't kill the person in front of it even in this situation.
Oh, of course, the host doesn't kill people...
The system thought of everything that had happened before, and swallowed the sentence "The host does not kill people" back into the database.
It’s not that the host doesn’t want to kill them, it’s just that... he can’t do it himself.
Hmm, this is so messy and weird.
Baichuan Qiu stood up with difficulty.
He pressed his shoulder blades on his back and hissed softly.
He opened his palm and it was covered in blood.
System: "Host, everyone has collapsed, let's retreat quickly, your injury is more important."
Bai Chuanqiu responded softly: "Yeah."
However, Shirakawa returned the same way but did not find Natalie.
The white-haired young man frowned, and then his expression turned slightly cold—
It’s Kano Shiming!
Unexpectedly, he also escaped the killer's pursuit!
Bai Chuanqiu stared at the dust on the ground and quickly made a judgment in his mind -
It's in...
Baichuan Qiu immediately rushed into the ruined bare house on this floor.
……
In the corridor, Natalie held her stomach and jogged with difficulty.
At the other end of the corridor, the man behind him had a look of pleasure in chasing prey on his face, and he slowly raised the pistol he had snatched.
The crosshairs were trained on the running woman—
"Bang-dong-"
A gunshot and a muffled sound were heard in the empty corridor.
——At that moment, it seemed as if everyone was moving in slow motion.
The white-haired young man who suddenly appeared knocked the man to the ground, and stabbed the steel pipe in his hand into the palm of the man's shooting hand, nailing the man's hand to the ground.
In the distance, there was the figure of a woman slowly falling down.
At that moment, the system's exclamation, the man's scream, and his own heavy breathing... finally, something hit his fragile nerves hard and broke them.
In a trance, Baichuanqiu heard the system's "ding" sound again in his ears.
He frowned and shook his head, only to find that the mechanical voice beside his ear was no longer his soft-hearted stupid system, but another slightly harsh and aggressive voice.
"Shoot! Shoot! What are you doing? Have you forgotten your identity?"
"You will be a heinous criminal! In seven years, you will become the most brutal serial killer, committing countless murders and becoming the nightmare of the Metropolitan Police Department's top police officers! This is your fate!"
"Ridiculous! Do you still want to defy fate?"
"He will be your first victim!"
…It seemed like a sound fragment in memory, sounding hazy and unreal.
In just a moment of distraction, the scarlet in Baichuan Qiu's eyes completely replaced the original golden color.
"Why is this happening?"
The young man lowered his head and murmured softly, then slowly stood up, and the aura around him suddenly condensed.
"hehe--"
Kano Zhiming covered his palm with his hand and laughed sarcastically: "Do you think you are a hero who can save everything? In the end, no one can be saved!"
As he said that, he drew the dagger from his body and attacked Baichuanqiu.
However, the young man just stared down at him.
Those deep bloodshot eyes were filled with a chilling coldness that was frightening.
The young man dodged the dagger, but he raised the steel pipe in his hand and stabbed it into his shoulder.
"Well--"
Kano Zhiming gritted his teeth and tried to resist, but the young man pulled out the steel pipe and stabbed it into the wound again.
"Ah——" the man roared.
"Damn it—"
The young man spoke softly, straightened up shakily, raised the steel pipe in both hands, and brought it down hard, nailing the man's important position.
"what--"
This time the screams were so genuine.
The young man just looked at him indifferently and turned the steel pipe in his hand.
His face was already stained with the blood of both parties. His originally handsome features now appeared twisted and hideous for no reason.
It was like a demon crawling out of hell.
Then he raised his hands and broke the man's limbs.
Kano Zhiming had long lost the strength to fight back, and could only raise his hands to try to block, but the steel pipe hit him again, twisting his bones and sending blood and flesh flying everywhere.
The live footage was directly reduced to mosaic level.
In the empty corridor, there were only dull pounding sounds and men's screams.
Then, after an unknown amount of time, the man's screams gradually became quieter and his eyes began to become vaguely unfocused.
Blood has long been the most insignificant thing here.
Baichuan Qiu raised his head and blew away the loose hair on his forehead. Then he impatiently lifted the disobedient hair with his blood-stained hands, revealing his full forehead and scarlet eyes.
The originally snow-white hair was now dyed red.
He held the steel pipe in his hand and stood beside the man's head.
"Su, host..."
The system finally noticed that something was wrong with Baichuan Qiu and called out softly.
However, the young man paid no attention to it.
"Host? Host? Are you okay?"
The system was a little panicked, and there was a tremor in its voice.
The young man just looked down at the man on the ground, turned the steel pipe in his hand and pointed it straight at the man's head.
Seeing this scene, the system suddenly understood.
——The host is going to... kill the other party directly!
At that moment, when the long-awaited scene was about to arrive, the system's first reaction was not joy, but panic.
It suddenly remembered what the host said to it carelessly that night when he looked at the moon -
"If one day, I suddenly lose control of myself and want to kill the enemy, you must stop me, no matter what the cost—"
"Host, wake up!"
The system shouted loudly.
Bai Chuanqiu paused, but only raised his arm. His red eyes stared at the person on the ground, as if he was looking at a pile of mud, and he spoke in a hoarse voice: "He... deserves to die..."
"Host! You can't kill him!" The system anxiously turned on the loudspeaker and played the Great Compassion Mantra in Baichuanqiu's mind on a loop. "Host, have you forgotten what you told me before? You can't kill him! Wake up!"
"Host! Host!"
The white-haired young man didn't react at all, nor did he put down the steel pipe in his hand. He even slowly revealed a sick smile on his face: "No, he deserves to die..."
At this moment, those eyes no longer had the clarity and wisdom of the past, but were filled with the desire and madness that was completely occupied by killing.
——Like a walking corpse.
