The two didn't even grunt, their heads down, unresponsive no matter what you said.
The man glanced at them, then sat back on his stool.
"Hang them up and let them taste the blade first."
Xu Qian's eyes were heavy. Even if she used the magic bell to get them out, then what?
Could they escape the pursuit?
Killing them all was the only way.
Xu Qian closed her eyes, letting her mental power cover everyone, only to find that their levels were all higher than hers.
They were all esper-users of level three or above.
The total number was about 20 people.
Xu Qian gritted her teeth, regretting her lack of ability.
Since there was no immediate solution, she could only go up and discuss a countermeasure with Xiang Jintian.
Xu Qian turned to leave.
Suddenly, the elevator opened again, as if it were possessed.
As soon as Xu Qian stepped in, a series of tragic screams suddenly rang out.
The blade first cut through their thighs, blood dripping down their calves.
Xiong Yong'an cried out once, then gritted his teeth. This was no ordinary blade.
The moment the tip of the blade touched flesh, the bone-chilling pain seemed to connect to their very hearts, their entire bodies screaming in agony.
If they hadn't undergone pain training, they would have surrendered after the first cut.
Xu Qian's pupils contracted to the extreme in an instant. Not to mention Hou Xiaoqing, Boss Xiong had always treated her very well.
Not saving them would be against her conscience.
Saving them, but how could they escape?
Xu Qian closed her eyes fiercely. No matter what, she would save them first.
The girl's fair arms were raised, shaking the magic bell.
"Ding ding ding."
Instantly, everyone froze in place like idiots.
Xu Qian's eyes were cold, her gaze fixed on the fox-like man.
One stab and he'd be dead, problem solved.
But as she raised her knife to strike him.
The system's notification sound rang out.
[Ding, Host, Lian Du has been identified as one of the important figures in the apocalypse.]
The tip of the blade was only one centimeter away from his neck.
Xu Qian was speechless to the point of exhaustion.
[System, are you sure not to kill?]
[Ding, He is an important figure in the apocalypse and cannot die. Please leave quickly, Host. The system will help you think of a way to escape.]
Xu Qian lowered her knife. Forget it, her mission now wasn't to kill, but to quickly get them out!
She quickly cut the ropes binding the two, and they immediately fell to the ground in their previous postures.
This was because the magic bell didn't just control them, it controlled everyone.
If the magic bell stopped, everyone would wake up, including them.
Xu Qian struggled to drag the two into the elevator, then pressed every button on the elevator panel.
The building wasn't tall, only five floors.
However, she had observed that the basement level had no stairs, and it would take at least 5 minutes for the elevator to go down.
After closing the elevator doors, the ringing gradually stopped.
Everyone was jolted awake as if from a dream.
Lian Du's eyes flickered. Even seeing the two disappear without a trace, his expression remained unchanged, and he showed no signs of urgency.
He was just very curious that someone could rescue people right under his nose.
"Notify Captain Gao to seal off all exits."
"Then, show me the surveillance footage."
"Yes!"
As soon as the magic bell stopped, the two on the ground quickly woke up.
They stood up, their eyes wide as saucers.
Why were they in the elevator?
They were just being beaten...
Their legs still ached.
With a "ding," the elevator door opened.
Xu Qian shook her sore arm and strode out of the elevator.
She turned to look at the people who were still frozen in place.
"Hurry up and go."
The two looked around. Where was this voice coming from?
Why did it sound a bit like Sister Qian's voice?
