Volume 1 Chapter 200 She Witnessed Something Brutal (1/2)
[A/N: 200 CHAPTER! YAY!!! >.
Han Luo's eyes widened in horror as she saw several men grabbing onto a struggling man. The person couldn't scream as his mouth was covered with a piece of cloth. She could only hear his muffled sound.
Two men took out daggers in their hands and relentlessly stabbed him. There was no hesitation in their movements and they brutally jabbed the daggers on his body.
The poor man moved a couple of times and then finally stilled. Those killers stopped butchering him when they realized that he had died. They threw the body in the darkest corner. It was a neat job. It didn't look like it was the first time they did it. They weren't just simple thugs.
Han Luo felt chills run down her spine. It was spring but she shivered like a puppy in the winter. Her legs turned to jelly. She couldn't move. Her heart shook like a balloon.
For the first time, she saw something brutal. It was a good thing that in the darkness she couldn't see any blood or she would have fainted on the spot.
Her mind was still in a daze and she had yet to figure out what she was supposed to do. Just then, someone called out from behind.
”Ah Luo, what are you doing?”
Han Luo was jolted and turned around. She saw Mo Yuan standing behind her with a confused look.
Seeing that blood drained from her face, he became worried. He stepped closer and asked, ”Ah Luo, why do you look like that?”
”N-nothing, just let's get out of here. Quickly!” Han Luo stuttered in a low tone and dragged Mo Yuan out of that place. The only thing that came to her mind as they had to escape before the killers realized that they had a witness.
Her nails were digging onto his arm. Mo Yuan gave her a quick observant look but said nothing. He turned around to see where she was standing before but saw nothing suspicious. He couldn't imagine what made a brave heart like her such a scaredy cat.
They strolled thirty five minutes straight in the crowded area. Although it was eight in the evening, the sun was not in a hurry to go down. It was taking its sweet time.
Mo Yuan couldn't keep up with Han Luo's silence and nervousness anymore and paused on his track making her stop from walking.
”I think we have come far enough. Ah Luo, what's bothering you?” Mo Yuan gently asked. He had never seen her frightened like before.
Han Luo witnessed a murder for the first time in her life. Maybe her young age and lack of experience both played a role or maybe it had nothing to do with it, she was scared out of her wits.
She never had such a horrifying experience before and she had no interest in experiencing something like that in the future. She wished to forget everything she had just seen. If there was a chance for her to rewrite her memory, she would have done that by now.
