Chapter 25: Severed Fingers

  I didn't want to continue walking into this basement because Huang Yanyan's foot was injured, and as soon as we came in, I saw this model, which looked very similar to the deceased Huang Weiwei. There was a fruit knife with bloodstains stuck in her chest, giving me a bad premonition, so I wanted to go back.

  However, Huang Yanyan thought I was afraid, she looked at me with a dissatisfied face, and said to me in a careless tone: "Mm, it's okay, let's continue to look inside, we've only been down for a while, if we go back like this, it would be too embarrassing, besides, this is just a human body model."

  I could clearly feel that after Huang Yanyan entered the human body model, she glanced at the human body model next to her with a slightly fearful gaze. I knew that Huang Yanyan was pretending to be brave, and I had no choice but to follow her wishes and continue walking inside to take a look.

  "Okay, Yanyan, let's continue walking inside and take a look. We need to be careful, if this is really the hideout of that criminal, we'll have to be even more careful. We're girls, after all, and the other party might be an adult male!" I said with a tense face, looking around nervously.

  Huang Yanyan also nodded, and then I continued to walk slowly along the left passage with Huang Yanyan. My right hand tightly grasped Huang Yanyan's left hand, while my left hand held the flashlight, letting Huang Yanyan help me carry the bag on her back, as we groped our way through this underground room of unknown size, which was pitch black.

  The two of us walked past the human body model and a few meters later, we saw that it was slightly messy here. The book bags were scattered all over the floor. I looked at the dust on the ground and couldn't tell whether they were old footprints or recent ones. My eyebrows were tightly furrowed together.

  The two of us walked while gently checking the books and document bags that had fallen to the ground, but there was nothing useful at all. We just kept walking until we reached the end of this passageway, where it turned a corner, and then another straight passageway appeared. I shone my flashlight on it, but couldn't see the end.

  I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and slowly walked in with Huang Yanyan, we continued to walk along this passage that seemed to have no end. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound coming from the front, my face changed slightly at this moment, and Huang Yanyan's face also turned pale, her hands trembling slightly.

  I hastily shone my flashlight over, and saw two huge rats, about the size of my palm, squeaking and charging towards us. I vaguely saw a faint bloody glow in their eyes, as if they had gone mad.

  Huang Yanyan and I were startled, hastily retreating backwards quickly. Huang Yanyan was so scared that she almost cried out loud. However, the mouse had locked onto us two, chasing after us quickly. In the blink of an eye, it caught up to us and in the next moment, it bit down on Huang Yanyan's ankle.

  "Ahh, they're going to bite me! Mimi, hurry up and save me! I'm so afraid of mice, I'm so afraid of mice!" After Huang Yanyan let out a sharp cry, she frantically waved her leg around, but ended up losing her balance and falling heavily to the ground.

  After seeing this, I didn't dare to retreat anymore. I hastily pulled out the fruit knife from between my legs. Although I'm also very afraid of mice, at this moment I couldn't be afraid because if I was, I thought Huang Yanyan would probably be bitten to death by the two mice, as she was already on the verge of collapse.

  I was holding a fruit knife in my left hand, and with a slight tremble, I suddenly grabbed the tail of a large rat. The rat suddenly bit towards my fingers, scaring me so much that I didn't have time to use the fruit knife to kill it. Instead, I slammed the rat against the wall next to me with great force.

  The big rat let out a piercing scream and was actually shaken to death by me. I was slightly stunned, then picked up the remaining big rat again and slammed it hard against the wall beside me, using the same method to shake the rat to death once more.

  I let out a slight breath and muttered softly: "Actually mice aren't that scary, one fall and they're dead!"

  At this time, Huang Yanyan looked at the two dead mice's corpses with a slight tremble and said to me: "Mimi, I don't want to go in anymore, it's too scary, there must be more mice inside, it's too scary, I want to get out!" At this moment, Huang Yanyan finally knew regret and fear.

  After listening to Huang Yanyan's words, I couldn't help but smile wryly and then hugged her, saying softly: "Okay, let's just leave here first, it's indeed quite scary!" To be honest, I didn't want to continue on originally, if it wasn't for Huang Yanyan insisting, I wouldn't have brought this injured person on an adventure.

  Anyway, those two big rats seemed to have known or smelled Huang Yanyan's injured foot, otherwise they wouldn't just bite her and not me. I think these rats are very strange, so I won't continue the adventure anymore, preparing to go back and find Liu Ke to come explore together.

  I nodded, stood up, and also helped Huang Yanyan up. Then I took a slightly fearful glance at the deep and profound passageway in front of me, and couldn't help but shiver with fear, as if something terrifying was telling me something.

  I hastily supported Huang Yanyan and slowly walked towards the direction of the passage behind her.

  After walking for a few minutes, we passed by the human body model and headed back in the direction of the exit. We looked up at the top of the exit, a two-meter-high hole, and I suddenly panicked: "Oh no, this is not going to work! It's so high, our hands can barely reach it, where are we going to get that kind of strength?"

  I looked a bit anxious, at this time, Huang Yanyan hastily said to me: "Mimi, why don't I hold on to the top first, and then you support my butt from below, and push me up. After I get up, I'll pull you up from above, how about that?" Huang Yanyan also looked at the big mouth with some worry.

  I couldn't think of any other way, because this week I basically didn't have a chance to warm up, so I had no choice but to agree with Huang Yanyan's words. Fortunately, my strength has become very great recently, and I tightly grasped Huang Yanyan's buttocks with both hands. Then, at the same time as Huang Yanyan jumped up, I also used force to lift Huang Yanyan up.

  "Wow." Huang Yanyan let out a shout, then crouched down and jumped up, her hands firmly grasping the edge of the hole above. She turned around with a big smile on her face and said to me: "Mm, you're really amazing, your strength has increased so much! If only you were a guy, that would be even better."

  I was listening to Huang Yanyan's words with a puzzled expression, but my mouth was biting on the flashlight. At this moment, I shone the flashlight upwards and suddenly a strange figure appeared standing next to the round hole exit, letting out a cold laugh. The person's face was covered with a black mask, making it impossible to see who it was.

  My terrified expression was seen by Huang Yanyan, who turned around and looked at me with a puzzled face. She suddenly raised her head to look upwards, and the next moment she let out a sharp cry: "Ah!" Just then, before Huang Yanyan's sharp cry had stopped,

  I saw the man in black, and suddenly he slowly raised his right hand. His right hand was holding a machete over 30 centimeters long, extremely sharp, and it sparkled under my light. The man held the machete and suddenly gave me and Huang Yan Yan a very sinister smile, then fiercely swung down the machete in his hand.

  Huang Yanyan let out a pained cry, her index and middle fingers severed at the tip. As the pain from her fingers reached her brain, Huang Yanyan cried out again: "Ah!" She immediately loosened her tight grip on the edge of the bed and fell backwards, sitting down heavily. I myself was also knocked to the ground by her violent collision.

  I scrambled up in terror, holding the flashlight to illuminate Huang Yanyan's hands which were covered in blood. At this moment, Huang Yanyan also saw her own palms full of blood, and her hand, which was missing two fingers, looked extremely frightening and disgusting. Huang Yanyan's face turned deathly pale, and upon seeing the state of her hand, she seemed to be unable to muster up any fear at all.

  At that moment, a loud "bang" sound suddenly came from the round hole above. I was startled and jumped in fright. The sky above suddenly darkened. I looked over and saw that the only exit had been blocked by the black-clad person outside. My face changed drastically, filled with extreme terror.

  "Ah, mee, mee, my hand hurts so much, mee, mee, are we going to die in here? Are we not going to get out? I don't want to die yet, I haven't found a boyfriend, I haven't experienced that feeling, I haven't gotten married or had kids... Ow, ow, it hurts so much, mee!"

  Huang Yanyan was lying in my arms, screaming and wailing nonstop. I knew that the five-fingered heart was extremely painful, which was normal. I quickly found some medicinal water and bandages to treat her wounds. If we didn't hurry up and take care of it, she would lose too much blood and might even pass out here, which would be terrible.
