Chapter 99: A Dangerous Battle
She was like a taut string, ready to snap at any moment.
"You're in really bad shape," Xu Huo said candidly.
His calmness got under Wu Qiuyi's skin. Her eyes reddened as she said, "A month ago, I was an ordinary office worker. I had a happy family and a good life. Now my family and my boyfriend are all dead! They're all dead!"
"My condolences."
"My condolences?" Wu Qiuyi laughed in fury and swung at Xu Huo. He caught her fist with one hand, grabbed her other wrist, and pinned her firmly against the glass cabinet.
"Do you still want to live?" Xu Huo asked from behind her.
"The people I cared about are all dead. What do I have to live for?!" Wu Qiuyi struggled with all her might.
"Then why are you still alive?" Xu Huo said calmly. "If you really couldn't go on living, you would've killed yourself when you found your boyfriend's body."
"You wanted to live, so you made it this far."
"There are many ways to live. Other people can't control you, and you can't control them."
"We're just strangers who happened to cross paths. We have no obligation to counsel you."
Wu Qiuyi laughed. "How realistic. It hasn't even been long since Evolution, and people have already lost all basic human decency."
Xu Huo let go of her and stepped back. "If you want human decency, you've come to the wrong place."
"Yeah." Wu Qiuyi turned to look at him. "A game like Dimension Rift is perfect for someone like you. Only cold-blooded, heartless people can thrive in a game of slaughter!"
"Say whatever you like." Xu Huo pushed open the door and went out, just as Gu Yu and the other woman returned with the biscuits.
