“Drip Drop”
Ning Meng opened her eyes in the darkness, the sound of water rang in her ears, and the surrounding area was quiet.
She suddenly remembered her current situation, and upon lowering her head to take a look, she found that her whole body had turned limp while Gu Nanqian laid on the other side.
Someone must’ve done something to her. Otherwise, why would she feel completely powerless.
She hadn’t offended anyone during this period right? Or could it be that Meng Ning had offended someone in the past?
Ning Meng jogged her memories and didn’t discover anyone she had offended enough to the extent they would scheme to kidnap her.
“Mm….”
Gu Nanqian muttered as she roused. She looked at her surroundings and suddenly let out a low yelp, “Where is this?”

Ning Meng had probably asked her that question because she herself didn’t have any strength.
Gu Nanqian stood in place and hesitated a lot. Countless thoughts passed through her mind until she finally lowered her head and mumbled, “Don’t blame me…”
She opened the door and disappeared in the darkness.
Ning Meng’s expression did not change.
She had already guessed Gu Nanqian would do this once she found out that she was perfectly fine. With her personality as well as her current situation, even she herself wouldn’t take her.
The door wasn’t shut tightly, revealing the outside world that looked like a black hole.
Ning Meng started to get anxious and shifted her gaze away, asking the system, “Can I get better? Who hit me?”
The system responded, “It was a man.”
Ning Meng pursed her lips, assuming that the man wasn’t too far from here.
The half open door was like a wild beast, about to devour her alive. Ning Meng felt incredibly anxious, staring straight at the opposite side.
She didn’t have any strength and even taking the phone in her pocket took up a lot of effort.
Perhaps because the culprit didn’t notice that she had brought a phone with her, he didn’t take it away, giving Ning Meng a bit of hope.
She struggled for a long time until her phone finally fell out, producing a clear sound
Ning Meng’s heart leapt up to her throat and she poked around on her phone. After spending a long time, she finally managed to turn it on.
The sound of footsteps rang from the outside.
The system reminded, “He’s coming.”
Ning Meng’s heart clenched in fear and she pushed the phone behind her to hide it, not caring what she had just clicked on, kicking it to a gap.
Without her realization, a phone number was shown on the screen.
The changing room had yet to turn on the lights so Ning Meng couldn’t see who had come in, only smelling a noticeable scent of blood.
The changing room had a small window above, the outside appearing pitch black as well.
Ning Meng’s heart sank, fearing that it was probably already nighttime.
She had just been let go in the afternoon after being questioned by the police and was then captured, actually falling unconscious for the whole afternoon.
The moonlight spilled in from above, reflecting the face of the person in front of her.
It was actually Gu Nanqian.
Ning Meng felt incredulous. Why did Gu Nanqian suddenly run back, was it to save her?
Just as the thought passed through her mind, she knew that she had completely guessed wrong.
Because Gu Nanqian suddenly held a broom and brought it down onto her.
Ning Meng fell to the other side, evading that strike, and yelling at her in fear, “Gu Nanqian, have you gone mad?”
Gu Nanqian turned a deaf ear to it and raised it once again.
She brought down the broom to hit her but it was shot away the next moment, landing not too far away, producing a dull sound.
Ning Meng gasped for breath.
The incredulous picture must’ve had something to do with Shi Qi. Ning Meng had walked close with him several times, not expecting that Shi Qi had left something on her body.
It was a rather fortunate matter, otherwise, she would’ve suffered a violent death this time.
Gu Nanqian quickly took the broom and sent it towards her again. This time, it made contact with her body. Ning Meng’s arms blocked it slightly but it still managed to hit her face, making it erupt in pain.
The taste of rusted iron slowly spread in her mouth, making her feel extremely miserable.
The soreness her body felt dissipated slightly and she struggled to climb up. Just when Gu Nanqian was about to raise the broom again, she firmly pushed her away and ran out from the changing room with flurried steps.
If she stayed there any longer, she was certain Gu Nanqian was going to kill her.
The swimming pool at night was extremely quiet.
Ning Meng took off her shoes and ran, winding left and right. She didn’t know where she was running to until she finally found a door and went in, locking it behind her.
Her speed wasn’t fast so Gu Nanqian’s footsteps quickly reached her.
The stick of the broom was made with iron so it made a very loud noise when it hit the door and made echoes, sounding ineffably sinister.
Gu Nanxian cracked her lips open, her little face revealing a smile.
She opened her mouth and kept saying, “Come out…come out…”
Ning Meng hid inside, her heart jumping at the same rhythm as the bangs on the door. The place she was hiding in was probably used by cleaners, the space of it wasn’t big.
Ning Meng couldn’t help but ask, “What’s going on with Gu Nanqian?”
The system responded, “It looks like she’s being controlled.”
She couldn’t figure it out. Since the culprit wanted to commit murder, why did he have to borrow Gu Nanqian’s hand? Wouldn’t it better to kill her while she was bound?
Gu Nanqian continued to bang tirelessly on the door.
The broom had already started to break apart, leaving behind the steel stick in her hand yet she continued to remain unfazed, her pupils slackening slightly.
Her mouth continued to utter, “Come out…come out..”
From beginning to end, the words she spoke did not change at all.
Ning Meng took some things and pressed it against the door, lightly panting for breath.
Her phone was left behind in the changing room so she couldn’t even ask for help right now. She could only hold the tools found in here and hide.
Perhaps as soon as Gu Nanqian came in, she would be able to fight against her.
She wiped the trail of blood on her face and neared the side to listen for any movements.
The sounds of banging on the door suddenly came to a stop but what rang out next was unexpectedly Gu Nanqian’s sharp scream, it sounded extremely mournful and terrifying.
Ning Meng cowered and didn’t know what was happening outside.
……
The moment Gu Nanqian opened her eyes, she saw her fingers being snapped joint by joint.
10 fingers were connected to the heart and the pain spread through all four limbs. She couldn’t stop screaming out loud, her screams echoing in the swimming pool hall.
She cried out, “Don’t…D-Don’t…”
Shi Qi acted as if he didn’t hear it and put on an expressionless face. His exquisite face was ice cold and he seemed to mutter, “Was it this hand that did it earlier?”
Gu Nanqian shook her head, her voice stuck in her throat.
His eyes were filled with disgust.
Gu Nanqian also didn’t know how this happened and couldn’t completely react in time. By the time she awoke, she was lying on the ground and the senior in front of her was treating her very coldly.
A dagger suddenly appeared in front of her.
Gu Nanqian bit her lips and started panicking, thinking he was the sick murderer, “…Don’t…Don’t…Don’t kill me…”
Shi Qi frowned and moved his hand.
Before Gu Nanqian even realized it, her neck started hurting.
really who is behind all of this?! O.oP.S: thank you sm for update
Whoaaa, 17 being deliciously yandere here…
“Was it this hand that did it earlier?” he says as he calmly snaps her fingers… 😳
