Trembling At A High Altitude

Over a hundred passengers all came to the boarding gate, queuing up to board.

Anna appeared somewhat nervous as she looked around, trying to discern which among these passengers were actors like them, participating in the Hell Mode performance.

She couldn't tell.

Because among these hundred-plus people, at least half had an eerie demeanor, just like the two of them, carrying no luggage and looking around.

"Stop being so paranoid. By looking around everywhere, you'll make people suspect you first. Try to act more normal, just like a couple on a trip," Li Teng said as he put his arm around Anna's waist.

"You..." Anna's body became somewhat stiff.

"It's just acting, relax," Li Teng whispered in Anna's ear.

Anna said nothing more, but her face turned a bit red.

To cover it all up, she took out her sunglasses and put them on.

After boarding the plane, the two found the seats arranged for them by the director and sat down.

There was a commotion on the plane for a while, and then it gradually quieted down.

Soon the plane took off, soaring directly into the sky.

"I'm getting sleepy and want to take a nap. If someone tries to kill me, keep an eye out for me, will you?" Li Teng said to Anna, then covered his mouth and yawned.

"How can you sleep at a time like this? The performance might have already started!" Anna murmured a few sentences.

"What's there to fear? If anything unexpected happens, just wake me up," Li Teng said, and without much ado, leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.

After a while, light snoring sounds could be heard.

"Is he really sleeping?"

"Only one out of the eight can survive, do you know that you are also one of my targets for the hunt?"

Anna was exasperated.

"Someone as shrewd as him must be faking it."

"When I make my move, then he'll suddenly counterattack. Caught off guard, I'll die by his hand, and later it won't even be right to blame him."

"It must be like this."

"What a cunning man!"

Anna's mind raced.

...

An hour later.

"This is bad! I've been fooled!" Anna's face turned pale with shock.

Li Teng was genuinely asleep, sleeping so soundly that drool was even coming out of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Anna had kept her nerves on high alert, constantly paying attention to every movement inside the plane.

As a result, she was now extremely tired.

So tired she could barely keep her eyes open and wanted to sleep as well.

"He did this on purpose, to wear me out. When he wakes up well-rested, and I'm completely exhausted and my mind unclear, how could I possibly stand a chance against him?"

"This man is too conniving!"

"I need to strike first for the upper hand and kill him before he wakes up."

"But what if the performance hasn't started yet? What if it only starts after landing and meeting the director of the Hell Theater Troupe?"

"Then my attacking him would be a serious violation of Film and Television City's rules, and I'd be directly disqualified."

"Without shedding a drop of blood, he would have eliminated me, his greatest opponent."

"Such cunning! It's a good thing I didn't fall for it."

...

"The plane will soon be landing, passengers please fasten your seatbelts," a flight attendant's voice woke Li Teng up.

Li Teng opened his eyes and looked around.

The seat beside him was empty, and he didn't know if Anna had gone to the restroom.

Li Teng looked out the window.

The weather was nice today, visibility was quite good, and the ground could already be seen; the plane seemed to be flying over mountains and wilderness.

After descending, the plane was about to land soon, and a long flight was finally coming to an end.

"The plane is about to crash, everyone try to survive!" The flight attendant's voice rang out again, this time right beside Li Teng.

Li Teng felt that the flight attendant's voice was a bit strange...

No, what she said was even stranger!

Li Teng subconsciously looked up at the flight attendant.

The flight attendant was standing next to the row of seats where Li Teng was sitting, smiling at him.

"I have fastened my seat belt," Li Teng pointed to his seat belt.

"The plane is about to experience a crash, try to survive!" the flight attendant suddenly leaned in close to Li Teng's ear and whispered, her breath as fragrant as an orchid.

"What?" Li Teng stared at the flight attendant in astonishment.

The flight attendant's smiling face gradually turned ferocious as her body split in half at the waist and the upper half slid down, leaving only the two legs standing.

Very familiar legs.

The passengers in the cabin let out a series of screams; Li Teng looked around and saw that all the passengers were seriously injured, with broken arms and legs, and even some passengers' clothes were turning to ashes while their skin gradually blackened.

The air was filled with various burnt smells.

'Bang!' Another loud noise, the plane broke into several pieces in the air, passengers together with seats were thrown out, scattering like fairy maidens dispersing flowers below in the mountains and fields.

Impact... Fire...

A salty, fishy taste.

"Ah!!"

Li Teng screamed...

And woke up.

A couple sitting in the row behind and two male passengers in the row in front gave Li Teng some strange looks, then shifted their gaze away.

Anna hadn't gone to the restroom; she was still in her seat.

Only, she was asleep.

She didn't even hear Li Teng's scream just now.

Of course, Li Teng hadn't screamed very loudly.

Anna, was she dreaming? Why was her face red? And why was her body wriggling?

...

Anna suddenly felt a bit short of breath.

When she opened her eyes, she realized that she had accidentally fallen asleep!

The reason she was having difficulty breathing was that Li Teng was on top of her, choking her neck with his hands!

She wanted to resist, only to find that Li Teng had stripped off her clothes and pants and used them to tie up her hands and feet!

She was pinned down in the aisle between the seats, unable to move at all.

Lying there, she couldn't see the situation inside the plane clearly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to do this, but when there are eight people, only one can live, so…" Li Teng leaned in close to her and whispered a few words.

"You despicable and shameless man! To think I treated you so well! I must have been blind to have misjudged you!" Anna cursed Li Teng, regretting in her heart that she had fallen into his trap and had stupidly fallen asleep!

"Don't insult me, I actually quite like you," Li Teng moved in even closer.

"No, stop!" Unable to move, Anna could only start shouting loudly.

"Anyway, you're going to die, might as well make the most of the heat…" Li Teng, unaffected, got to work.

"Ah! Get off me! Who would want to with you..." Overwhelmed with humiliation, Anna screamed and then finally…

Woke up.

Seeing Li Teng's puzzled gaze in front of her, Anna shuddered and almost shouted again.

Her hands and feet were not tied up, nor was she pressed against the cabin floor.

Just now, was she dreaming?

"Dreaming? What were you dreaming about? Your body was writhing around…" Li Teng seemed to notice something.

"Get lost! I dreamt I was fighting someone, a fight to the death," Anna quickly covered up.

"Oh, then why is your face red? And why are you panting?" Li Teng was puzzled and looked Anna up and down.

"Do you want to die!?" Anna threatened Li Teng, actually feeling like she wanted to die at that moment.

"We are about to land. Passengers, please fasten your seat belts," the flight attendant's voice saved Anna from her embarrassment.
