Chapter 257: At the Cost of Life

The dim light leaked through the cracks in the open door and stretched beneath the feet, and the air was filled with the smell of decay. Zhou Ran lowered his head and looked at the orange light on the upper of his shoes, and his eyes moved up to see the malicious smile on the man's face.

"What's wrong? Come in, aren't you going to sit down? Seeing the man in the black cloak holding the girl standing motionless, the man urged a little anxiously.

The girl tightened the hem of the man who held her, and her lips trembled and she did not dare to speak.

After standing outside the door for a while, Zhou Ran finally moved, crossed the man's shoulder, and walked into the house.

The wooden floor, which had been yellowed by the light, had been washed away without a trace of dust, but it had not washed away the dark red traces, and she could see at a glance that it was the color of blood.

After the man standing by the door and the others walked in, he closed the door with a blank face, and locked the iron door outside by the way. Then he turned to look at the man who was bending down with his back to him and putting the girl from his arms to the ground.

deliberately lightened his steps, tightened the handle of the kitchen knife in his hand, tiptoed, and walked towards the man step by step.

The ears under the brim of the hat moved slightly, and Zhou Ran glanced at the electric switch on the wall not far away and the teacup with half a cup of water left on the uneven square table next to him, and helped the girl to sit down with her back against the wall.

The black shadow under his feet was getting closer and closer, Zhou Ran curled his lips and sneered, and suddenly pushed the girl leaning against the wall to the other side, and one jumped up to pick up the teacup on the table and splashed it at the electric switch.

The girl watched as the fierce man raised the kitchen knife above the head of the man in black, and saw that it was about to slash at the head of the man who was half-crouching in front of her, and opened her mouth in panic and let out a terrible scream.

"Ah......!!!h

Crackling sparks exploded at the electric gate with the girl's screams, and the only light on the ceiling flickered a few times before suddenly going out. The room, which was not very bright, was suddenly plunged into darkness.

The terrified girl tried to identify the position of the two men in the room in the darkness, holding the ground with her hands and retracting her hands and feet together, tears mixed with the blood on her forehead and flowing to her cheeks, blurring her whole pale face.

"Come out!! Yes!!! Come out!! The crazy man waved the kitchen knife in his hand in the air, slashing everywhere, and there was no order to follow.

In the corner he didn't notice, a pair of scarlet eyes silently watched his movements, and a syringe in his hand under the black cloak walked towards the constantly shaking figure unhurriedly, with an elegant and noble step.

She stood behind the man, quietly admiring his uncontrollable ugliness at this time. Tut...... Your foolish and naïve decisions will cost you your life, why do you think I'm here with you? Sent to death? That's impossible, I'm here to take your life......

There was a chill on his neck, as if something had crept up his spine. The man stopped, his bulging eyeballs rolled in his sockets a few times, roared hysterically like a trapped beast, raised the kitchen knife in his hand and turned around to slash.

"Ah......!!!h

The silver light reflected off the blade illuminated the red eyes, and the roar came to an abrupt halt. The man's eyes popped in disbelief as he reached for the syringe that had been inserted deep into the artery in his neck.
