18 Love or Life? 18 (2/2)

Seven could solely whimper his opinion and bows his head.

Xi Sheng took a sledgehammer and a ripping bar and weighs each other on both hands.

008 gulps:”You're not attempting to murder the doctors are you?” If you hit them of either one of those tools, they could die you know...

Xi Sheng only exclaims:”They said sleeping is a temporary death, but who knows whether the death I'll inflict with these will have temporary, life-long, or natural death?”

Xi Sheng returned the sledgehammer to its place and took the ripping bar.

008 rolled his eyes and shakes his head. The first option is only sleeping, the second is comatose, and the third is death. Either of the three, please make the end result number one!

”The power already returned....be done.. Shall continue..”

She heard the stomping walks outdoor so Xi Sheng right away pull away into a corner where the light faintly reach. The physicians that entered the location consist of two. Xi Sheng didn't know where the other three went. Maybe they're assigned on other room and simply approached Mu Ziyu outside.

Anyway, she could handle them... Maybe.

The Doctor who talked with Mu Ziyu earlier said:”Patient Seven, we won't cause anymore ache and this last would be the last..” as well with your life.

The other health practitioner took a syringe and was about to inject it when he felt an agonising pain hit his nape.The other physician took notice of it.

He was about to shout, but Xi Sheng's ripping bar was much faster than his scream.

Pak! Pak!

The two doctors fainted quickly. Xi Sheng swings the ripping bar with her all might and pointed it with their acupoint in their nape that can induce sleeping.

”Gurrgh..”

Xi Sheng falls into her knees. She shortly covered her mouth and was gasping for air, and her body is trembling. She felt nauseous and her strength are all washed out.

”Young... Miss..”

Seven tried to stand up, however there's no energy left in his body.

To cover up what happened, Xi Sheng glances at Seven and ordered him:”Shout... As painful as you can...”

Seven understood and shouted at the top of his lungs:”Stop!... No.. I.. I can't!.. Just.. Let me.. Go!”

Xi Sheng hides the doctors' bodies in an inconspicuous place. She stripped one of the doctor's shirt and glasses whilst she took the pants and shoes on another one, as well as their lab coats. After doing so, she buried them with other others stuffs like ancient rugs and such.

She gave the clothes to Seven and waited for him to change into those. She additionally took out several plastics containing a piece of bread, a meat, and chunks of juicy fruits to let him regains some of his strength.

008”...” It all came from your pockets? Why do you remind me of a certain robotic cat...

Xi Sheng guards the door while waiting for Seven. Outside, there are still doctors and staffs roaming around, getting out appears risky but there is nothing she could think of to escape.

She was walking aimlessly and then with a few turns, she stumbled upon a door with a name of 'Disciplinary Chamber,' she swipes the card in her uniform and the door opened.

By the time Xi Anran reached the said door, she and Seven are already busted and was the already held captives, so staying in the room is out of her choices!

Xi Sheng asks:”Can you walk?”

While Seven answers:”Rest... Few more... Minutes.”

Xi Sheng nodded.That's good. At least we could fool the people outside for a short length of time.

Xi Sheng searched inside the room and found water in a mini-sink. She took dip the remaining lab coat and assist Seven in getting rid of his filth.

Seven was startled and tries to stopped Xi Sheng, but she only glared at him so he could only watch. The once white and pure lab coat is now colored crimson and is very dirty.

After seeing Xi Sheng's sacrifices, he promised to himself that when they get out alive, he will commit himself to guard his young lady!

When Seven already looks presentable, Xi Sheng put the glasses and footwear on him. She took an envelope containing documents and gave it to him.

Xi Sheng gravely looks at Seven and tells him her plan:”When we get outside, do not raise your head and follow me. When someone calls you do not look at them. Just look at this paper as if you're studying a very essential report.”

Seven nodded his head. Eyes filled with determination.

Xi Sheng could only pray that they won't notice Seven's bruises. When the people outside shortened in number, Xi Sheng braced herself.

Creakkk

She slowly opened the door, Seven in the back of her. She was strolling slowly to let Seven noy agitate his wounds. While Seven looks immersed in the documents he was holding, his eyes are particularly focused on Xi Sheng's dress.

”Yes, the patient inside is still full of vitality but his head is already a mess. I suppose the tincture is kind of success?”

”Well, who knows? Its potency is greater than of a common poison?”

Don't observe us. Don't notice us. Don't...

Xi Sheng chanted in her head.

They made their way halfway through stopping to another room and stroll again. In that way, they won't be noticed that easily.

”I think I'm midway done with my work!”

That voice... That shitty voice from earlier!

Xi Sheng quickens her pace. She signals Seven that they needed to get out as quickly as possible. Seven breathe a mouthful of air and endures the stinging pain all over his body.

Just a little more and we are going to pass from that guy...

Xi Sheng glances at him, the man also took notice of her and smiled.

Shit, he saw me!

The man was about to name her when he used to be suddenly called by an elderly doctor.

Xi Sheng sigh in relief.

Fuck, staying right here is reducing my lifespan each and every minute!

Xi Sheng almost run while walking when they reached the door. Both she and Seven are gasping here like they entered a ten-kilometer run.

Xi Sheng swipes her card when she heard a devil's cry ringing in the whole place.

”Head maid Khan!”

Motherfucker!

Creakk

Xi Sheng took Seven's arm and was about to run.

The door opened and muzzle was already pointing in her head.

”Raise your hands!”

Xi Sheng bit her lips.

Curse your whole ancestry!
