NOVEL NEXT Chapter 380: Died So Miserably_2
...
This was an ordinary low-rise building.
In a corner's shadow, Xu Shuo quietly appeared on the eighth floor, his gaze deep as he stared at the staircase leading to the ninth floor.
He lifted his cane and gently tapped the stairs.
On the ninth floor, at the end of the corridor on the left, in that room, was the seventh person in this world.
However, this person was really cautious.
From the staircase to the corridor up to the door of his room, there were no fewer than a dozen surveillance cameras, both visible and hidden, covering the entire corridor without leaving any blind spots!
At that moment, the person was leaning by the window, using binoculars to observe the street where the girl had just been.
The room was no more than twenty square meters, with five computers arranged on a rectangular table, and there was also an office chair; aside from that, there was nothing else.
Xu Shuo paused at the staircase, his black leather shoes merging into the shadows beneath his feet.
But after probing for a long time, he couldn't find any shadows on the ninth-floor corridor where Qiuzi could sneak through.
Although the sky was getting dark, the corridor of this old low-rise building was open, and the only place not reached by the sun was the corner near the staircase.
Moreover, without the Abyss Script, Qiuzi's abilities couldn't be amplified.
After a while, Xu Shuo's eyes darkened, a cold smile suddenly appearing on his face as he boldly walked up the stairs to the ninth floor, openly exposing himself to the surveillance cameras.
He walked steadily, straight toward the last room on the left side of the ninth floor.
The girl's pale skin did not show the slightest hint of color, her pitch-black, hollow eyes devoid of any light, her expression cold and eerie, like the Grim Reaper wrapped in darkness!
...
The short corridor was less than thirty meters long.
In the small, quiet room, a computer suddenly emitted a "beep beep beep" sound.
The person who had been anxiously looking for the girl on the street stiffened, quickly turning to look at the computer closest to him. On the screen, a red box highlighted a familiar-looking girl!
The girl had a delicate and beautiful face, and a fitted black and white dress outlined her lovely figure. Although she didn't appear tall, her legs were very long.
And at that moment, the steps she took allowed the swift girl to swiftly reach his door!
She was standing outside!
The man, with disheveled hair like a madman and dark circles under his eyes, widened his bloodshot eyes, staring intently at the computer screen.
Just then, as if the girl sensed his gaze, she slightly raised her head to look at the surveillance by the door, those pitch-black, hollow eyes seeming to brew a terrifying abyss!
The girl curved her lips into a gentle smile.
"Knock knock knock..."
A crisp sound came from the door.
She had knocked on the door!
How did she get here?!
How did she cover such a distance in under a minute to reach his door?!
This was utterly impossible!
The man's fingers trembled unconsciously in panic, the binoculars in his hand dropping onto the floor with a "clang," the sudden noise snapping him back to reality!
At the same time, there was a rustling sound from the door.
It sounded like the lock being picked.
Man: "!!!"
The eerily strange changes were so overwhelming that the man could barely breathe; the clicking noise at that moment seemed interminably long, like a special bell tolling from the Grim Reaper.
He looked around in terror, trying to find something to defend himself, and there was a fruit knife on the computer desk!
The man quickly grabbed the fruit knife, the sharp weapon providing him with a sense of security as he retreated to his computer, his other hand trembling over the keyboard.
Then, he held his breath and fixed his eyes dead on the door.
"Click..."
The modified lock was finally opened.
This unsteady door made a creaking noise as it was pushed, revealing a gap of about thirty centimeters.
Next, the girl seen in the surveillance camera slowly peered in, her gaze sweeping around the room, glanced at his fingers resting on the keyboard, and finally settled on him.
The girl said warmly with a smile, "I'm coming in~"
Her tone was not one of inquiry.
The man straightened the fruit knife, glaring at her wildly, as if roaring to embolden himself, "Who are you?! What kind of person are you? How did you find this place? What do you want to do?!"
Xu Shuo glanced at the fruit knife in his hand and raised an eyebrow, "That knife looks kind of familiar. Is it the one used to stab her dead?"
As the words fell, the dirty man, looking like a vagrant, completely lost his mind!
The man's bloodshot eyes seemed ready to bulge out of his skull, and with his face twitching, he gritted his teeth and said, "You know... you know all this... are you the murderer who killed her!"
Xu Shuo smiled and said nothing.
His previous remark had been made casually.

However, the deceased's impact on this man was truly significant, even making him forget his fear of the inexplicable, as he gripped the fruit knife like an evil ghost, drawing closer and closer.
He hung his head low, eyes raised with a sinister vibe, muttering, "You murderers... you could have saved her at that time, but none of you did. You watched her die in agony! You're all damned criminals!!"
As he roared the last words, the man lunged at Xu Shuo, the fruit knife gleaming under the room light.
He raised the fruit knife high!
