"Is Killer a woman?" Zuo Yi said incredulously.
"No, if Killer was that person in black, given the situation with Jin'er and Linyuan, she could have easily killed them. But she just followed them without striking! There's also a possibility that this woman was bought for someone else." After a pause, he turned to Zhang Yang: "If this woman stood in front of you, would you recognize her?"
Zhang Yang shook his head: "I don't know. She didn't speak at the time; she just pointed at what I was holding and didn't say anything. I thought she was mute! But that woman had short hair and was wearing a yellow down jacket."
"It seems things are more complicated than we imagined," Zuo Yi said, narrowing his eyes.
Chu Feifan pondered Zhang Yang's words. If Xu Mengguang was strangled by Li Yiqian, then why did Xu Lingling say that Xu Mengguang was gripping her own neck tightly? One of them must be lying; but who could it be? If Zhang Yang really knew Li Yiqian, he wouldn't need to lie unless he had some motive to do so.
The next day, the principal announced an early vacation, which did not surprise the students. Everyone began packing their bags to go home. However, some students stayed for various reasons, including Zhang Yang, Chu Feifan, Zuo Yi, and their neighbor Zhou Nian. Of course, there were also some girls who stayed behind, one of whom was Xu Lingling, the woman who had disappeared for a while and suddenly reappeared.
"School is already on break; why aren't you leaving?" Chu Feifan asked as he looked at Xu Lingling, who had applied heavy makeup.
"Because of you! If you don't leave, how can I?" She gazed at him seductively, resting her head on Chu Feifan's shoulder.
Chu Feifan shifted away and pushed her aside: "You should leave."
"Why are you being so cold to me? Don't you know I like you?" She leaned closer again, placing her hand on his shoulder.
Chu Feifan removed her hand: "I like Su Jin'er, and even if there were no Su Jin'er, I still wouldn't like you."
"Are you so sure? I can be a substitute; I can be a replacement for Su Jin'er, and I can give you what she can't."
"Vile!" Zuo Yi said harshly from the side.
"You really don't need to act this way; you'll only make me dislike you more. You should just leave!" Chu Feifan said impatiently.
"I've come this far, and you're still treating me like this? Then don't blame me for being rude!" Xu Lingling's voice remained soft, but it was uncomfortable to hear.
Watching her walk away, Chu Feifan frowned and said, "How did she end up like this?"
"Who knows?"
Xu Lingling's figure had already disappeared, but the strong, nauseating fragrance she left behind lingered in the air. Zuo Yi wrinkled his nose and said, "It really stinks!"
"Hey! Zhang Yang is out. Let's go see what he's up to!" Chu Feifan noticed Zhang Yang standing at the dormitory entrance, looking around before tightening his clothes and heading toward the school gate. Chu Feifan and Zuo Yi quietly followed him.
Once outside the school gate, Zhang Yang headed straight for the woods. He walked quickly, and Chu Feifan and Zuo Yi carefully trailed behind. Zhang Yang didn't enter the forest; instead, he walked along the edge of it until he stopped in front of a tree. He touched the tree before moving on. When Chu Feifan and Zuo Yi reached the tree, they noticed a small triangle carved into the trunk. They took turns inspecting the trunk while keeping a close eye on Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang stopped again about fifty meters from this tree, touched its trunk, and then slipped into the woods.
"Quick, catch up! Otherwise, we'll lose him," Zuo Yi urged as he pulled Chu Feifan forward.
Zhang Yang's figure had vanished into the forest, leaving only their hurried breaths in the quiet surroundings.
"It seems he knows we're following him and is trying to shake us off," Chu Feifan said while touching the tree trunk that also had a triangle.
"This kid is quite clever."
"Let's go in and take a look! Maybe we can find him."
Just as they were about to enter, Zhang Yang emerged with a smile and said, "Don't think you can find Qian Qian; I won't let you take her to jail."
With that, he quickly ran away.
Watching Zhang Yang disappear into the distance, Chu Feifan chuckled and said, "This forest seems quite appealing! Why does everyone like coming here? Let's go in and see if we can find something."
Zuo Yi shrugged in agreement, and the two entered the woods. It was damp inside, with little snow on the ground and a strange smell lingering in the air.
"What is that smell? Why is it so awful?" Zuo Yi said while covering his nose.
"We'll follow this smell to find out."
The two of them walked forward, following the unpleasant odor, and gradually reached the edge of the forest, where the smell was emanating from.
"Extraordinary, there's a cave entrance here," Zuo Yi said in surprise, looking at the hidden entrance concealed by grass.
"The smell is coming from here."
They pushed aside the grass and cautiously stepped inside. The entrance was small, just wide enough for one person to pass sideways. Once they entered, they realized that the inside of the cave was not as small as the entrance suggested, but it was very dark. Without flashlights, they could see nothing at first. They stood at the entrance until their eyes adjusted to the darkness and they could barely make out their surroundings.
"There might be someone inside; we don't know if they are friend or foe, so we need to be extra careful," Zuo Yi whispered.
"Mm!"
The cave seemed deep. As they walked further in, they faintly heard the crackling sound of a fire, and the foul smell became even more nauseating.
"Someone is ahead; let's be cautious."
They saw a flicker of light ahead. The cave suddenly widened, enough to accommodate four or five people standing side by side. By the fire sat a girl who had her head down, carefully poking at the flames with a stick.
In the firelight, they recognized that the girl was none other than Li Yiqian, who had been missing for a long time. After confirming that she was alone in the cave, they stepped forward.
Li Yiqian was startled when she saw them; her eyes widened in fear as she looked at them. "How did you find this place?"
Chu Feifan pointed to the meat roasting over the fire. It appeared to be some kind of animal meat, and that foul smell must have come from its burnt fur.
Li Yiqian suddenly burst into tears. "You have to leave quickly; otherwise, he will kill us."
"Who? Who will kill us?"
“Zhang Yang, that beast.”
“Tell us what happened? Why did Zhang Yang want to kill you?”
Li Yiqian shook her head in tears, “No, I can’t say. You all should leave quickly, or you won’t be able to escape when he arrives.”
“It’s fine, can’t the two of us handle him?”
Li Yiqian continued shaking her head, “He’s not even human; he’s a beast, worse than a beast.”
Just as Chu Feifan wanted to ask more, they heard footsteps.
“He’s coming; you all hide!” Li Yiqian pointed behind them.
It turned out this was not the end of the cave; no wonder their voices echoed. Zuo Yi pulled Chu Feifan to run backward. The entrance behind them gradually became smaller as they hid a short distance away, watching Li Yiqian.
Zhang Yang's figure gradually appeared. He was carrying a bag filled with some basic necessities and food.
He set down the items and sat next to Li Yiqian, who shrank back in fear.
“Who were you talking to just now?”
“I wasn’t talking to anyone; I was roasting dog meat and just said a few words to it,” Li Yiqian stammered.
Zhang Yang stroked her hair and smiled, “You’re not lying to me, are you?”
He tightened his fingers and harshly tugged at her hair. Li Yiqian winced in pain but dared not say a word, only shaking her head in agony.
“That’s good; this is my good little slave.” He released his grip and chuckled as he looked at the flames.
Zuo Yi heard him say "female slave" and almost rushed out to join him, but was held back by Chu Feifan. "I thought of a fun game again. Let's try it!" Hearing him say playing a game, Li Yiqian looked at him in horror, but she knew she couldn't say "no", otherwise she would only suffer Feeling more pain, she bit her lip hard and watched with tears as he took out a rope and said, "Take off your clothes." Li Yiqian shook her head, and she tightly held on to the only piece of clothing she had. piece of clothing: "It's so cold, please let me go!" Seeing his begging for mercy, Zhang Yang seemed to be even more excited. He looked at Li Yiqian's exposed smooth calves with bright eyes and said : "Unless you die." Looking at Zhang Yang who kept approaching her, she kept wanting to retreat. She really wanted to run, but she couldn't. She was so conflicted now, and she really wanted Chu Feifan He and Zuo Yi didn't leave and could come out to save her, but she was afraid. The two of them were no match for him. "The more you struggle and the more you beg for mercy, the more excited I am, so just go ahead and beg!" Zhang Yang's face reflected in the firelight was hideous and terrifying, like Vengeful Spirit in the dark night. Li Yiqian bit her lip and looked at him. She no longer backed away, but just watched him walk in front of her, and then frantically tore off her clothes. Li Yiqian covered her chest with her hands. There are many horrific scars left by burns on the snow-white skin. Some of the wounds are still new, revealing the red flesh and coagulated blood inside. Zhang Yang stuck out his tongue and licked her shoulder, Li Yiqian turned his head in disgust. "What's that expression on your face? Give me some excitement, or you'll look good!" He tied Li Yiqian's hands with a rope, made her lie on the ground, and then stepped on Li Yiqian's waist. Go up, Li Yiqian bit his lip and didn't make a sound. "Smelly **, your wings have grown hard, haven't you? Let's see if I don't torture you to death." "Assistant!" Chu Feifan and Zuo Yi really can't stand it anymore. "Damn woman, you dare to tell me that you haven't talked to anyone! I'll beat you to death." Zhang Yang became even more angry after seeing the two of them. He kicked Li Yiqian hard. Li Yiqian arched her body in pain.
"Damn it!" Zuo Yi rushed over and punched Zhang Yang in the face.
Chu Feifan untied the ropes on Li Yiqian's hands and then took off his shirt to cover her.
"Damn it! You dare to hit me?" Zhang Yang retaliated with a punch, but Zuo Yi dodged it. He regretted not learning Taekwondo properly in the past.
"Go help him, Zhang Yang will use Hypnosis."
When Chu Feifan looked at them, Zuo Yi was already collapsing weakly.
"Ayi!"
"Don't look into his eyes," Li Yiqian said as she grabbed Chu Feifan.
