Chapter 195: Chapter 190: Shooting

"Uh... I indeed don’t have a phone," Clements said.

"I do have one, you reminded me," Nania immediately took out her phone and turned on the flashlight.

The two sources of light effectively ensured that the darkness would not invade their surroundings.

[Ah? How come Clements doesn’t have a phone? Isn’t that essential? And he’s a young man, right?]

[You didn’t mention it, but it’s normal for Clements not to have a phone since his character is a criminal who escaped while being transported.]

Everyone present immediately decided to go check the electrical room, but upon arrival, they discovered that all the equipment had been thoroughly destroyed, and the power could not be restored.

"It’s really troublesome," Clements said with some distress, "Although the opponent is mentally disturbed, their IQ is still normal. This situation is too disadvantageous for us."

"Can we only wait until dawn? Or should we... take the initiative to go looking for the person?" Nania also couldn’t help feeling hesitant.

Xiao Yi was also undecided for a moment, but Eve reminded him, "Xiao Yi, it’s best to resolve this tonight. Don’t worry, you won’t be in danger."

Why there wouldn’t be any danger, Eve didn’t say, but Xiao Yi still took her advice.

Xiao Yi responded, "Is that so? Since you’ve said so, let’s go."

"But we don’t know where he is," Nania said. "Even if he is still carrying that woman, the blood drops on the carpeted corridors are not visible. What’s more, he might use the bloodstains to lure us into a trap. Plus, with the limited light we have, how should we search?"

"It’s simple," Xiao Yi said. "You guys stay here, and I’ll go look for him by myself."

Since Eve had said he would be safe, Xiao Yi had to charge in hard.

"...Huh? Alone?" Upon hearing this, Eve gave him a stare.

Xiao Yi corrected himself, "The two of us will go."

"Hmm," Eve nodded in satisfaction.

"This..." Clements and Nania looked at each other and finally smiled helplessly, "You two are really brave. It makes us embarrassed to continue being hesitant. Let’s go together... But the hotel is so big, we must split up to search effectively, and we just happen to have two light sources."

"Split up? That works," Xiao Yi didn’t think too much and agreed. He then held up his phone and said, "Then Nania, give me your contact information. If I find anything, it’ll be easier to contact you."

"Okay."

Nania nodded, and then they exchanged contact information.

"Then we’ll head west, and you guys can search the east side," Xiao Yi said, taking Eve’s hand and heading out to the right.

"..." Clements and Nania exchanged a look, both filled with helplessness, and then decided to leave this floor to Xiao Yi while they went upstairs to check.

However, not long after going upstairs, they heard cries from an old lady.

Although it seemed very likely to be a trap, they still decided to check it out. Simultaneously, Nania contacted Xiao Yi using her phone.

The source of the sound was a guest room. They easily pushed open the door, only then confirming that the voice came from the bathroom inside the room.

They looked at each other, seeing the fear in each other’s eyes.

"...Let’s go, Xiao Yi will be here soon."

"Yes, let’s go."

But still, they suppressed the fear in their hearts, alert and back-to-back, they slowly made their way into the bathroom.

The cell phone light shone into the bathroom, and they saw the tied-up old lady right away.

"Ah! It’s you!" the old lady said when she saw them, eagerly calling out, "Quickly, save me!"

"Where is he?" Clements asked.

"He’s not here!" the old lady said anxiously, "Quickly, save me!"

Hearing that, Clements and the others slightly relaxed their vigilance and approached the old lady.

But just then! Gunshots erupted from behind them!

"Uh...!" Nania instantly fell to the ground, feeling a warm, stabbing pain in her calf!

Her phone also fell to the ground, but fortunately, the side with the flashlight was facing up, and the light illuminated the bathroom.

Clements was startled and quickly looked toward the door, where he indeed saw the figure of the uncle in the dim light.

"Ah!" The uncle also screamed as the gun fell from his hands.

It seemed he had never used a gun before and had underestimated its recoil.

Clements knew he couldn’t miss this opportunity and immediately rushed forward!

But the uncle reacted quickly as well, swinging the axe in his hand!

"...!" Clements saw the axe coming his way! There was no time to dodge! So, he poured even more strength into his legs! Speed up a bit more! He fiercely met the oncoming axe!

Clements wasn’t seeking death, but was trying to avoid the sharp blade of the axe and take the hit from the handle instead.

The sharp part of the axe blade was only at the front, and this was Clements’s only choice.

The handle struck his shoulder, forcing a pained grunt from Clements, but his hands had already grasped the axe, trying to wrest it away.

"...Let go!" The uncle roared furiously, also trying with all his might to reclaim the axe.

However, Clements’s shoulder was injured, which made it hard for him to exert full strength, and seeing the uncle’s bloodshot eyes and frothing mouth made Clements truly afraid.

The two were at a stalemate.

"...Thud!"

Suddenly, a dull sound echoed, and the uncle let go.

Clements was stunned for a moment, then he saw Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi had procured a steel pipe from somewhere and, without a word, swung it at the uncle’s head, knocking him to the ground.

But the uncle didn’t pass out. As soon as he fell, he reached for the gun on the ground!

"You little bastard! You look down on me too! Die!" The uncle didn’t hesitate to pull the trigger, and the deafening gunshot rang out, leaving no time to react.

"..." Xiao Yi’s eyes widened slightly. He hadn’t reacted in time.

Thus, he hadn’t been able to stop the uncle from killing himself.

For some reason, as he shouted at Xiao Yi, the uncle had the gun pointed at his own forehead.

"..." Clements was also taken aback, then immediately rushed over to Nania, "Are you okay?"

"Uh... Nothing serious, won’t die." Nania managed a weak smile.

"Are you hurt?" Xiao Yi immediately looked at Eve beside him, "Eve, can you heal her? You can do it, right?"

Eve replied, "There’s no need. Besides, aside from you, I don’t bother with anyone else."

"Please make an exception this time!"

"..." Seeing Xiao Yi insist, Eve finally relented, "I really can’t deal with you."

"Mom is the best."

"Watch it, or I won’t heal you!"

Seeing Eve heal Nania, Clements also breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to the aunt.

"You knew he was still here! Why did you tell us he wasn’t!?"

Clements stormed towards the aunt, his voice filled with more anger than usual.

However, the aunt was extremely defiant. "Humph... If I hadn’t said that, would people like you have come to save me?"

"You could have gotten us all killed!"

"What are you talking about, isn’t everything fine now?" the aunt retorted. "Stop nagging, hurry up and untie me!"

"..." Clements raised his hand.

Instead of untying her, however, he clenched his fist and... slammed it hard into the aunt’s face!
