Chapter 3: Killing Again (Extra Update 1)
After dinner, Leng Qing Qiu and Lu Zhi Yin stayed on the sofa for a while.
Although Lu Zhi Yin was currently Leng Qing Qiu’s girlfriend, they weren’t very intimate. At most, Leng Qing Qiu would let Lu Zhi Yin lean on her shoulder.
Time ticked by, and only when it was completely dark did Leng Qing Qiu make a move.
She went to turn on the lights at home, then went into the bedroom and moved the bed to reveal the entrance to the basement.
“Yawn~”
Yawning, Leng Qing Qiu hadn’t rested well last night.
Returning to the living room, under Lu Zhi Yin’s confused gaze, Leng Qing Qiu moved Lu Zhi Yin’s wheelchair into the basement. Then, she carried Lu Zhi Yin into the basement herself.
Upon reaching the basement, Leng Qing Qiu placed Lu Zhi Yin back in the wheelchair.
In the dim basement light, Lu Zhi Yin looked around the basement, which she hadn’t visited in a while.
Because of the previous flooding, the basement was now too damp. There were still water stains on the walls. The knives didn’t seem to be affected, but some knives had fallen onto the ground.
Having been soaked, there was no smell of blood in the basement now.
In the center of the basement was the same familiar frame bed. Lu Zhi Yin saw a somewhat unfamiliar person, a male with curly red hair.
This person might be prey Leng Qing Qiu brought back. What did she want to do? Did she want to watch her kill, or did she want to watch herself kill?
Lu Zhi Yin couldn’t guess Leng Qing Qiu’s thoughts for now. She wasn’t smart, or rather, she was on the stupid side.
Compared to the man in front of her, Lu Zhi Yin paid more attention to recalling what happened yesterday.
Starting from after dinner, she had been replaying yesterday’s events.
First, she was humiliated by Leng Qing Qiu in the cafeteria, then she went to that bar using a favor owed to Leng Qing Qiu to try and get some information. In the end, she got nothing, was drugged, and Leng Qing Qiu recorded a shameful video of her to threaten her.
Achieving nothing, just as she knew herself to be, she wasn’t smart.
“Zhi Yin, guess who this person in front of you is?”
Behind her, Leng Qing Qiu picked up a cleaver from the ground and tapped the basement wall with the handle of the cleaver, making a dull sound.
“I don’t know.”
How could Lu Zhi Yin know who this person was? There were no clues in her mind, nothing to guess.
“Do you remember being drugged last night? It was this person. He ordered juice for us and put veterinary ** in their juice. And you drank the juice given by a stranger without any defense.”
As she spoke, Leng Qing Qiu shook her head.
She couldn’t quite tell if her childhood friend was stupid or naive, but she didn’t feel angry.
After all, the incident where Lu Zhi Yin was drugged not only didn’t cause her trouble but allowed her to control her childhood friend more easily.
This was a good thing, wasn’t it?
Silence fell. Lu Zhi Yin looked at the unconscious man on the frame bed.
Was this the person who drugged her?
Naturally, there was hatred in her heart, but more than that, there was confusion. She truly had no impression of this person, probably because she had focused all her attention on Qin An.
“So, I still don’t understand why you insisted on going to that place. Is Qin An that important to you?”
It was impossible for her to be important. Leng Qing Qiu had seen how Qin An bullied Lu Zhi Yin.
“Not that important… It’s just that I don’t want to get beaten anymore, and I wanted to get a little closer.”
Lu Zhi Yin pursed her lips and noticed that after she spoke, Leng Qing Qiu’s gaze changed.
Was she feeling dissatisfied?
“…Never mind, I don’t want to say too much today.”
She hesitated, but in the end, she didn’t utter any scolding words. Leng Qing Qiu simply placed the knife in her hand onto Lu Zhi Yin’s leg.
“Kill this person. For your own revenge.”
Saying this, Leng Qing Qiu walked to the side, picked up her phone with both hands, and pointed the camera at herself, as if preparing to record.
“Can you not record?”
Gripping the handle of the cleaver, Lu Zhi Yin naturally noticed Leng Qing Qiu’s actions.
She turned her head and looked at Leng Qing Qiu’s face.
…
Leng Qing Qiu didn’t answer her but stood still.
Lu Zhi Yin thought that she probably wouldn’t agree to her request.
She inexplicably remembered the idea of secretly deleting the video on Leng Qing Qiu’s phone that had just emerged. The idea seemed somewhat ridiculous. After all, Leng Qing Qiu could force her to reshoot it if she found out the video was deleted.
So many times, she was truly terrifyingly stupid.
“Sigh…”
Sighing, Lu Zhi Yin drove her wheelchair to the side of the frame bed.
On the bed, the man showed no signs of waking up. If not for his slightly rising and falling chest, Lu Zhi Yin would have thought he was dead.
She raised the knife in her hand. The hand holding the knife was a little unsteady, trembling slightly.
Was she really going to kill again? As a law-abiding citizen in her previous life, she found it difficult to do such a thing.
The last time she killed someone, she remembered it was done under Leng Qing Qiu’s coercion.
…
She looked back again. Leng Qing Qiu was still motionless, only the camera on her phone was so obvious.
Lu Zhi Yin swallowed. She guessed it would be impossible for her not to kill.
She started to psych herself up.
“It’s okay… killing him won’t do anything. He drugged me first… Before that, he must have harmed many girls… Killing him is eliminating harm for the people, not doing evil… Even if I don’t kill him, he will eventually die from offending someone powerful…”
Muttering to herself, as she chanted, Lu Zhi Yin moved the knife in her hand. She aimed the blade at the man’s neck.
“…I’m sorry…”
Even at the end, she still apologized to the man who had wronged her first.
She exerted force with both hands, and after a slight tearing sound, Lu Zhi Yin cut the man’s throat and artery.
Bright red blood spurted out, splashing onto Lu Zhi Yin’s face and body.
Her nose was filled with the smell of blood, and everything in her sight seemed to be dyed red.
The knife in her hand finally fell to the ground with a clang.
The column of blood gushing from the man’s neck first sprayed high, then gradually thinned and lowered.
Blood flowed continuously, and soon a large pool of blood appeared on the ground. The wheels of the wheelchair were stained with a lot of blood.
“Hoo… hoo… hoo…”
Panting heavily, Lu Zhi Yin placed her hands in front of her. Both the back of her hands and her palms were stained red with blood.
Of course, her hair and the armrests of her wheelchair were no exception.
Her original blue and white school uniform was stained with large patches of red. If not for Lu Zhi Yin’s expression and her trembling body, she would have looked like a blood-soaked Asura.
In reality, she was just an ordinary person who was a bit timid and socially anxious.
“Well done.”
Behind Lu Zhi Yin, Leng Qing Qiu stopped recording, turned off the recording, walked to Lu Zhi Yin’s side, and clapped her hands.
