Chapter 280 - WON’T KILL YOU (2/2)

Dr Brown immediately fought to stand up, but her legs had been injured when Hu Lei held her neck and pulled her roughly to the floor again.

”That got your attention, didn't it?” Hu Lei lifted her brow. ”I know how people who love dissecting like their flexible, agile hands.”

She pulled out the letter opener from the bleeding hand.

”Did you know anything can be a knife in the right hands? I met this guy who could slit a throat with paper. One minute you are playing poker, the next, bye-bye.” She looked at the vintage opener with a smile.

”Of course, I do not have such talents. But I make up for it with my strength. I have to thank my father for designing me so perfectly.”

”The only problem is most people will not hold still while you cut them. You know what I'm talking about, don't you, Dr Brown?”

The scientists in the Antarctica lab often cut into their subjects without providing anaesthesia in case they 'tainted the data'. She had seen the look in their eyes. It was the look of people who enjoyed torturing others.

After knowing so many monsters in life, she could smell them. She was one of them. But Dr Brown had the scent of a monster overlord.

Seeing that darkness in Hu Lei's eyes, Dr Brown shook her painful head, protesting.

Hu Lei acted like she did not see it. She put aside the letter opener. ”The key is…” With unrushed movements, she disconnected Harriet's arm bones from the shoulder blade sockets.

At that moment, Dr Brown realised that she had never understood her prey at all. Usually, she would be over prepared and cautious. Otherwise, she would not have survived the harsh environments of illegal laboratories and a bureaucratic charity organisation.

Part of her carelessness came from the last report she had gotten from Helen before she had been captured. Her sister had said that she could not imagine the potential capabilities of Hu Lei and feared that it was only a matter of time before the monster broke free from the underground prison.

Harriet had laughed at the report because it made Hu Lei sound like a supernatural creature. Even when the capture mission she had posted had led to the loss of mercenaries, she had not imagined it had anything to do with Hu Lei. She thought it was all Zhong Feng.

Hu Lei did not care about her thoughts and continued without care after dislocating her shoulders.

”Most people do not realise that the human body is like a plastic doll. Just a couple of pieces held together like toys. But I'm sure you know that, Dr Brown. I bet you used to rip body parts from your sister's dolls as a child.”

She picked the letter opener again. ”I have wasted so much time talking. Let's get to work.”

Outside the office, a few minutes later, Frank looked at his companion.

”Do you hear something?” He asked.

”What? I don't hear anything. The soundproofing for this office is pretty good.” The man responded.

”Really? I swear I heard something.”

”Wait, I hear it too. But I don't think that it is coming from the office.”

While they were contemplating the sound, the emergency alarm blared.
