Chapter 1689: Dear Uncle, Help!!
A shadow rushed over. Before Ning Shu could react, a thread was placed around her neck. The shadow strangled her neck tightly with the tough thread from behind.
Ning Shu grabbed the thread tightly with both hands. The thread tightened around her bones, plunging deep into the skin and flesh.
It hurt like hell.
Despite the pain, Ning Shu didn’t dare let go. The moment she let go, it would be her neck that would be bearing this pain and she’d end up the same as Mei Ziqing who was lying on the ground. Half of Mei Ziqing’s neck had been cut off by the wire.
The two bodies were so close together that her ears could even feel the heat of the breath puffing out behind her. She could smell the scent of fragrant wood mixed with the bitterly cold wind.
“Ahem!” Ning Shu coughed and said with difficulty, “Zhang Jiasen, it must be you!”
The hand holding the thread paused a little but quickly increased its strength again. The threads went deeper into the flesh. Blood dripped on the ground.
The imminence of death made the hairs on Ning Shu’s body stand on end. She was fearful and desperate.
Ning Shu’s face reddened and she lifted her foot to step on the feet of the person behind her, but instead she was kicked in the calf and felt a sharp pain.
Having come to this world for just one day, there was simply no time to practice the Unsurpassable Martial Arts. Three people had died in one day and there was no time to stop and catch her breath at all.
So now that she was at a disadvantage, she didn’t even have a chance to fight back.
From start to finish the person behind her didn’t speak, but Ning Shu clearly felt that it was a man. One factor was because of the strength, the second was the angle of the strangler’s neck. If they were taller than her, the thread would be raised slightly upwards. It was an issue of angle.
“Crack.” There was the sound of a window opening. Ning Shu turned her head with red eyes to look towards the second floor.
There was a faint light in the room and a shadow stood at the window. Ning Shu coughed violently. Dear uncle, help!!
The man behind her didn’t immediately run, but instead increased his strength and strangled harder. The thread immediately plunged deeper into Ning Shu’s palm.
The uncle pulled out the gun at his waist and shot the person behind Ning Shu. With a thud, the person behind Ning Shu fell onto the ground.
His body twitched for a moment, then his breathing stopped.
Ning Shu fell onto the snow. Before she had any time to celebrate, a voice entered her soul, “No matter what grudges you have, if you start fighting each other in this mission, you will be eliminated.”
“I…” Ning Shu could only stare as the uncle shot her with the pitch-black barrel of a gun. It was as if her body was immobilized by some force and she didn’t even have the strength to move.
Silently, power poured into her brow.
The power of the protective charm protected Ning Shu as she felt a tremendous force explode inside her soul.
The enormous pain in her soul made Ning Shu sweat profusely. When she woke up, there was still a terrible tearing pain in her soul.
Her body was covered with sweat. When the wind blew, Ning Shu shivered from the cold. She got up from the ground and turned over the man’s body.
It really was Zhang Jiasen.
What the f*ck? Ning Shu almost cried out in frustration. She was almost killed and then got eliminated. If it wasn’t for the upgraded protective charm, she’d damn well have to wait until everyone died this time and start the storyline all over again.
The feeling of being eliminated scared Ning Shu to death— it was the sensation of being completely annihilated and in desperate pain.
Zhang Jiasen, that f*cking suicidal bastard.
Ning Shu kicked the body of Zhang Jiasen, then forced her weak body to run towards the living room.
The fire on the fire pan in the living room had gone out. Ning Shu sat on the bench and placed her hand on the table.
Her hands were dripping with blood. A thread was plunged into her hands and scarlet flesh was dangling from it. Ning Shu carefully removed the thread.
