Chapter 280 - WON’T KILL YOU (1/2)

Hu Lei walked back to the desk with a casual gait and started rummaging the odds and ends on the surface and in the drawers. After a moment, she found a letter opener and picked it up. She tossed it in her hand as if weighing it.

She knew that she should probably start thinking of an escape route and even message Zhong Feng. She had picked up enough technical skills to send a signal of her location with the ŀȧptop on the desk. ​​

However, at that moment, she only felt bloodlust. She wanted to destroy Harriet Brown and rid the world of the plague.

The thoughts in her mind seemed to give her golden eyes a red tinge. She seemed like a demon from hell.

Dr Brown watched her with overwhelming fear.

She had been around the block and knew that this situation could not be going in a good direction.

Involuntarily, the images of the young men who had faced her scalpel came to mind. She tried to push those thoughts from her mind, but they lingered like ghosts, and those ghosts were laughing at her as she experienced the fear they did.

It had always excited her when she carved those pretty men. Every time her scalpel sliced through their thin skins, she would yearn for more.

Their screams… They were like music. She would laugh wildly as they struggled hopelessly. Once they lost their will to fight, she would dispose of them.

Now, she felt that she might be the one suffering under the knife when she looked at Hu Lei.

However, she had never been at the receiving end of cruel acts, but she knew that it would be an excruciating experience.

She fought through the blinding pain which made her mind groggy and stood up. She only had to reach the door or even make a loud sound in the office, and someone might come to help her.

However, just as she stood to attempt an escape, Hu Lei was before her. She held her by the neck and drove the letter opener into her hand.

She wanted to scream even with her dislocated jaw and stuffed mouth. However, with the hand around her throat. She could only make garbled muffled sounds.

The demon smiled at Dr Brown.

”Do you wonder why I told you about the secrets of my body?” She smiled lightly as she unhanded the fragile neck.

”Because I know how much you are itching to get to your lab and get started with your little experiments. Your mind has probably formulated a complete action plan for your research. You would sell your soul to do it right now, wouldn't you?” Hu Lei said.

She had lived with a mad scientist and knew how they thought. It was pathological how people like Hu Ming and Harriet Brown obsessed over pushing the boundaries.

”I wanted you to get your hopes up. How else could I rob you of your momentary joy?” She laughed and pulled out the letter opener.

”Don't worry. I won't kill you.” Hu Lei said. ”Well, I probably won't kill you.”

The fear in Dr Brown's eyes intensified.

”Don't look at me like that. Accidents happen even to the best of us.” She ran the blade over Harriet's cheek. ”But you should know that my heart is in the right place. I only intend to cripple your limbs and make it impossible for you to lay your hands on other people again.”
