When Ai Li's eyes fell on Xu Xin,
he smiled and said, "W got one thing wrong."
"My slashes do not come from somewhere. They were already there."
"The moment you appeared there, the slashes had already landed on you."
"So, you can try running."
"Miss X."
They... appeared there on their own?
For a moment, no one could comprehend those words.
Ai Li hesitated before saying calmly, "If I had to say where the slashes came from, I could say this."
"The slashes came from the River of Time!"
After saying that, Ai Li snapped his fingers.
At the same instant, Xu Xin activated an Eerie Weapon.
Her figure vanished from where she stood...
Ai Li glanced at that spot and withdrew his gaze, because he already knew the outcome.
After activating an Eerie escape item, Xu Xin instantly appeared a hundred meters away. The moment she stopped, her pupils contracted slightly.
A bone-piercing chill spread from her neck.
Xu Xin took a deep breath and leaned against the wall, doing her best to steady herself. "As expected... I still lost because of an information gap."
"Fine. I'll be a good person one last time and make it up to my good neighbor."
"I hope this final piece of information will be of some use to him."
Xu Xin raised her hand, and a [Yellow Paper Doll] crawled out from beneath her sleeve.
The little yellow paper doll paused on Xu Xin's body for a moment before slipping into the night with the wind and disappearing...
Splash, splash—
The drizzling rain gradually intensified, eventually turning into a torrential downpour shrouded in white mist. When Xu Xin fell to the ground, her head and body were separated. The scorching blood flowing out of her rapidly cooled beneath the rain's wash.
