Chapter 575 Run, Run, Little One

Song recommendation: Lullaby of Woe by Ashley Serena

....

"Do not move, Xueyi."

Ran Xueyi didn't need anyone to tell her she shouldn't move. The red dot that links across where somebody could be sniping at her was enough for her heart to stop pumping blood.

With every breath she took, the sniper could be caressing the trigger like a baby's butt. They could be smiling, stroking their sadistic egos to bring out the primal fear of death inside her.

"We need to get her out of the sniper's range," Alina said.

"Easier said than done."

"Well, is there anything else you can do then?"

"I'm thinking."

"Something more productive than that."

Evgenia shot her a look. "What about you?"

Alina gritted her teeth. "Moral support."

The two bickered even in this situation. Although it was not the right time to do this, Ran Xueyi's nerves relaxed, and she could breathe more now. Alina and Evgenia were a good distraction for her not to think about the sniper who could blow her head into smithereens.

It was impossible to get rid of the sniper at this distance, but at least her head was no longer cloudy.

"I'm going to jump." Ran Xueyi looked at herself in the window.

"What?" Alina stopped glaring at Evgenia and looked at her friend in disbelief.

"I'm going to jump from the window," Ran Xueyi repeated. "The sniper must be somewhere in the trees, expecting me not to move. He probably wants me not to."

"That's crazy. I won't allow it!" Evgenia wanted to reach out to drag her to his side, but Ran Xueyi kept her hands far from his reach. "Ran Xueyi, this isn't a good idea. You could die if you move."

"And I will still die if I don't." Ran Xueyi let her eyes move to look at him before looking at the window again, where the tall trees now appear like monsters with claws and fangs. "The sniper won't be able to shoot me accurately if I move around, especially if I jump out of the window. Anyway, I'm just informing you beforehand."

Alina wanted to stop her, but Ran Xueyi ran before she or Evgenia could say anything to protest against her decision.

It was a gamble. Her life hung in the balance, with the Grim Reaper waiting for the slightest trigger.

Ran Xueyi knew that. But she didn't want to become a burden to Alina and Evgenia. These two could well protect themselves and survive in any perilous situation. And with her dragging them across the feet, it was clear they would end up dead one way or another.

Evgenia shook his head. The former owner of the mansion has completely forgotten this bunker, which hasn't been used for fifty years. I only came across it three years ago and didn't have the time to have it completed.

"It won't cave in, right?" Alina cast a worried look at the old-looking bulb attached to the ceiling, flickering on and off just like in snuff and horror films. Dust fell off the walls and ceilings.

Evgenia arched a brow. "Let's hope it won't before we get out of here."

Ran Xueyi looked up ahead. Her feet moved by themselves, pushing her forward. She was once again experiencing this odd sense of familiarity. She was certain she had never been in this tunnel. It was her first time coming to this island. Yet she couldn't shake off the feeling that she was retracing the steps she had taken in the past.

The smell of soot, filth, and mud stuck to her nostrils, making her stomach churn.

'Tap. Tap. Tap.'

The sound of water splattering as someone ran, splashing the dirty water on their calves whenever they hit the water.

And a heavier and more resounding splash followed closely behind.

"Haa..." her soft pants came out of her trembling lips. "Where are you, little girl?" a voice echoed in the tunnel.

"Why don't you stop running and come here? I'll give you a lollipop and a bed to sleep in."

The footsteps grew, as if more people were chasing after her.

Then, they started singing. Their voices have a harrowing tone that sends tiny spiders underneath her skin.

"Run, run, little one, as fast as you can.

The Master is on your heels, and he has a plan.

Run, run, little one, don't you stop. The Master is coming, creeping on your back.

Run, run, little one, don't look back.

Ran Xueyi stopped walking as she slowly turned around, compelled to look behind her.

For some unexplainable reason, she felt like she would find something there. Someone was at the other end of the tunnel, staring at her.

Author has something to say: Here's a new update! Enjoy~

On another note, while I'll surely be finishing this novel next month, I created a new novel for a new contest on Webnovel called Viral Book Call. The novel is under my profile, and you can also search for it: The Billionaire's Ex-Wife Returns! Don't forget to read it, add it to your library, and comment/review it! If the novel reaches 100 or more collections by Wednesday night, I'll update 3 chapters of Daddy CEO on Thursday. (The mass release will still happen, don't worry.)
