Gu Shenwei hastily jumped off of the bed and stopped the impulsive Slave Xie just in time “Watch out, no ain to dismantled the hilt Slave Qi and Slave Xie had settled their ether until the sharp knife was completely taken out from the seam of the bed, and then they turned the corpse around

Though many unforeseen incidents had occurred, this assassination had gone ined

That sharp knife had pierced precisely into Han shi+qi’s heart He had died with hardly a struggle He had even lost little blood, leaving only a tiny stain on the covers

In the flicker of the candlelight, the three teenagers beheld the dead in silence, as if they were offering their condolences or appreciating a an to do their own tasks as pre-arranged in the plan

Slave Qi and Slave Xie put on their clothes One of them went to check the situation outside while the other left to pack up Han shi+qi’s belongings with Gu Shenwei, including several pieces of clothes, a dagger, a stiletto knife, a killer waist token, several small bottles, a handkerchief, and other sundries

Slave Qi and Gu Shenwei glanced at each other and slowly put down the corpse together They felt exhausted Nothemselves to finish the last few steps

The sharp knife still remained in the back of the corpse with only a sliver exposed that could barely be seen in the ht that it was a mistake to take a rest and they should dispose of the corpse as soon as possible When he stooped to pick up the corpse, it suddenly grasped his ankle!

The strength of the grip was as strong as an iron hoop

Gu Shenwei’s blood boiled and then directly froze into ice At that moment, he felt that his spirit was outside of his body

Slave Qi and Slave Xie were stupefied at first, but then pounced on Han shi+qi together The elder brother pulled out the sharp knife and haphazardly stabbed with all his strength

The corpse gave no response

Gu Shenwei pushed Slave Qi away, disentangled hirip, and turned over the corpse to observe carefully
