Chapter 119 - Killer Move (1/2)
[Present]
Lily finished peeling an orange and placed the slices onto the empty plate, ”and that's all. So, if you're looking for the second miss then she should be next door. I'm not sure what bloody gore you'll see when you open that door, though.”
Ariana nodded as she fed a slice of orange to Susu, ”Last time I went to check, I couldn't even open the door. I heard that Kitty's scream and it sent cold air down my damn spine. My goosebumps had lasted a few minutes before it went away. Good luck.”
Chen Mu stared at Ariana and asked, ”actually, you could answer in her place since only you two know the answer. If you tell me the truth, then I wouldn't need to bother them next door. Though I am super curious as to what punishment that son of a gun is receiving, it would be quicker if I asked you.”
Ariana looked at Chen Nan and right away she let out a soft sigh, ”I know what you guys are after, but I'm very sorry. I swore that I would bring this secret to my graveyard unless the second miss allows me to talk about it. Or else, I can't.”
”But this involves Susu's life and death! How could you hide the truth at this crucial moment?” Lin Que tried to coerce her into spitting out the incident from years ago.
Ariana put the slice of fruit in Susu's left hand and stood up, ”I know, but even if it is related to her life and death, I can't go back on my words. This secret is too big, and I can't say it. You can ask the second miss since it is her business.”
Chen Mu stopped Lin Que from pressuring her, ”I appreciate your integrity in keeping the promise. I'll ask her myself, so you girls stay here with Susu. Thanks.” Ariana nodded slightly and sat back down. Susu stuffed the slice of fruit into her mouth and reached for Ariana's hand.
”Hmm?” Ariana let out a bitter smile as she lifted her head to face her. Feeling Susu's comforting pats on her hand, Ariana felt extremely warm beside her. She apologized once again, ”I'm very sorry that I can't say anything about it. I-”
Susu shook her head and smiled, ”it's alright. You have your reasons and I believe in him. I also believe in fate. If my life was meant to end a year ago, then I wouldn't be here right now. Since I'm here, I won't lose my determination in surviving the cancer and the low immune system bullshit.”
”You'll definitely get better.” Lily and Ariana whispered at the same time, making Susu laugh softly. As the girls continued enjoying the fruits and having their same old relax talk, the guys went next door to look for Zi Yan.
Currently, the three of them stood in front of the supposedly empty room and already, they could hear faint cries coming from the other side of the door. Lin Que passed a new pair of gloves to them just in case behind that door is a gruesome mutilation scene.
After they had taken some deep breaths, Chen Mu bravely reached for the door knob and rotated it. The creak from the door caught the attention of the people who were inside the room. Once entered, a rich bloody iron scent stormed up their nostrils, making them cover their mouths immediately. They nearly gagged.
Inside the room, multiple bags of used tools were scattered on the floor. Zi Yan held a few needles between three of her fingers on both hands. She turned around to meet their shocked faces, ”Oh. Welcome to the party, but I'm not done yet.”
”P..Please help.. me...” Kitty begged on the floor with her shiny bald head and sharpie marks on her scalp. Her right shoulder was brutally dislocated that her bone popped out and blood soaked through her uniform.
”Which part of staying still did you not understand? Fine, forget numbing your nerves. You'll take each scalpel cut as it comes.” Accurately, Zi Yan operated on the tied up right arm like a professional surgeon.
Other than the fact that her methods were similar to how people worked in black markets and illegal services, everything else was too impressive. Her accuracy on how deep each cut had to be to disable Kitty's arm made the three doctors mesmerized for a moment.
