"Bang!" The girl fell straight to the ground, and standing behind her was surprisingly Housekeeper Walter, holding a long saw in his hand. His sinister smile and predatory gaze mirrored that of a wolf having found its prey.
"Come on, it’s the grand feast of slaughter! The game officially starts now!" The bald fat man grinned maniacally, holding up the saw.
Lou Sha pulled Tianmiao, and they dashed through another door. Behind Housekeeper Walter were several knights. They were no match for so many people; escaping was their only option.
A scream came from behind, another girl in the room, unable to escape in time, was brutally murdered.
The girl running behind them was about to be caught. In panic, she fell to the ground, crying desperately, "Wait for me, please, save me!"
"Damn it!" Lou Sha cursed quietly, turned back, and took two strides to grab the girl’s hand.
"Lou Sha!" Tianmiao also turned. Even in such adversity, she didn’t abandon her inner compassion. Yet, some people were not worthy of her help.
The girl on the ground grabbed Lou Sha’s hand and, in the moment she was pulled up, pushed Lou Sha towards Housekeeper Walter.
As Lou Sha was pushed, despair filled her heart. If she died here, what about Tianmiao? How would her fragile self escape? And Ai Ke, my beloved...
The glaring saw and the fat man’s smile approached, but a shadow moved faster.
After pushing Lou Sha, the girl was instantly kicked in the chest by Tianmiao. Her whole body flew backwards, meeting Tianmiao’s gaze, cold as death.
"You hideous human." Tianmiao’s voice was low and cold like eternal ice. But only the girl sent flying heard these words. Yet in such moments, she had no time to ponder their meaning.
After kicking the girl back, Tianmiao swiftly grabbed Lou Sha’s clothes, pulling her back.
The girl watched in horror as Tianmiao and Lou Sha ran further away, then felt a chill in her chest as something penetrated her chest cavity.
"Oh yes, just like that! Hahaha!" Housekeeper Walter twisted the saw inside the girl’s chest. Several knights clad in golden armor appeared from behind him, brandishing their sharp longswords, chasing after Lou Sha and Tianmiao.
Knights in golden armor weren’t just appearing here; they were elsewhere too.
Their presence brought cries, screams, and pleas from various women, as if deliberately driving these girls forward. The cacophony of sounds gradually converged into one.
A few corridors away, major entrances and exits were sealed off. The dozen remaining girls were scattered within this small corridor maze. Each room had two or three doors leading to other pathways or rooms. The surrounding candles had gone out, leaving only two overhead chandeliers casting dim light.
As Andophin led a small group of knights down, she saw Walter pulling the saw from a corpse. Andophin curled her lip, showing disdain for his lack of finesse.
Seeing Andophin approach, Housekeeper Walter ingratiatingly stood by her side, "Oh, dear madam, what brings you down here? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t come this time? Are you here to watch closely who will be the last hero to survive this ordeal?"
