Seeing the sharp fruit knife waving in front of her chest, Sato Mai finally gathered her courage. She shoved Ugou Mirai away and scrambled out of the room.
"Help!"
Her scream rang through the entire apartment.
The lights came on instantly, and Qingxue rushed out of the room next door. "What's wrong?"

"Mai!"
Qingxue lowered her voice. "Mai, go wake everyone else."
Sato Mai nodded quickly and ran toward Kanzaki Rin's room. In her mind, Fang Cheng might be the group leader, but Kanzaki Rin
