Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 378.070. Massacre
Chen Xingtong's consciousness wavered for a moment, her vision blurred, and she didn't even realize when she was standing on the ground.

The three-dimensional teleportation was very precise in its positioning. However, there was a height difference. The butler, who was 1.8 meters tall, was taller than the woman who was only 1.6 meters tall, which caused her to miss a step when she was being transferred.

Chen Xingtong stood still, cursing, and looked around as if she had come to her senses.

The sight before her made her eyes sharpen.

This is inside the Hanting Tianque Hotel, in a corridor on a certain floor.

Blood splattered on the wall like ink, and not far away lay the corpse of a man in a suit. Behind his sunglasses, his eyes were still open, and his bulging eyeballs seemed to be tearing apart his former mortal enemy.

His heart was pierced by a dagger, which was driven into the wall, and his legs were dangling in the air.

Chen Xingtong felt a chill. She recognized the bodyguard; he was one of the four guards of the Qi family, second only to the old butler.

Old Qi might really have encountered some danger.

She then realized that her situation was probably not so good either.

Oops.

Originally, they wanted to rely on the Qi family's guards to ensure their own safety, but now it seems that the Qi family has also been attacked by unknown assailants.

By the way, Grandpa Hanaoka must have just left not long ago. If we follow him, we might be able to find Old Qi.

Chen Xingtong glanced around and then spotted another servant not far away.

This was a middle-aged man over forty years old, who was now lying on the ground, lifeless.

His carotid artery was severed in his neck, and the blood stained the red carpet on the ground, making it appear even more crimson.

Chen Xingtong stepped forward to examine his condition. The fatal wound was from a sharp knife, and there were no other injuries.

A fatal blow?
But how could there be no signs of fighting among so many experts?

Was it a sneak attack? It's impossible to be completely unprepared. What kind of sneak attack method could be so sophisticated?
What about the rest?

In the distance, from countless rooms away, came the sound of booming explosions.

Chen Xingtong couldn't help but perk up and slowly approach the direction of the explosion.

The corpses lying on the ground along the way were even more bizarre. They seemed to have plunged the tips of knives into each other's bodies, staring at each other with ferocious expressions until their deaths.

A fight to the death?

They're all on our side!

Chen Xingtong felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason, but she still used her reason to search for survivors among the piles of corpses in the corridor.

"Wake up!"

"How are you!"

"Wake up!"

She gently shook each body, and finally found a survivor in the pile of corpses with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His lungs had been pierced by a folding knife, and the lower half of his body had disappeared.

"Are you alright? What happened?" Chen Xingtong stepped forward and asked.

Unexpectedly, upon seeing her, the other person's expression became even more strained. Ignoring the fact that he was barely alive, he revealed a fierce look and bared his fangs, intending to bite her.

Chen Xingtong was so frightened that she fell down on her backside, and the Otherworldly ghost missed its target.

The victim appeared to have died after biting into a hole in his chest cavity, apparently due to the intense exercise aggravating the wound.

The image remains frozen in time, showing a face with unseeing eyes and blood trickling down the forehead.

Chen Xingtong was still shaken, and at the same time, she guessed that something bad might be going wrong.

These guards are behaving very strangely; they must be being manipulated. They're clearly on the same side, yet they're passing knives to each other. It seems they've lost their reason and senses.

Wait a minute? One of our own?

She suddenly remembered what the old butler had mentioned about the past. The original owner of this body and her birth mother seemed to have looked like this too?
Could it be——

Is this a decree of "mutual destruction"?

She only heard the old butler mention it briefly, and she couldn't be sure yet, but it was very likely a similar edict.

Regardless, I'd better find them as soon as possible, otherwise I could be in danger at any time.

She carefully surveyed the area ahead, stepping over the corpses one by one.

Looking up, I saw that the door to a certain room ahead was wide open, and I could hear rustling sounds coming from inside.

Chen Xingtong frowned slightly, still pressed herself against the wall, and carefully made her way over.

Just then, footsteps came from inside the room.

Chen Xingtong became alert and stopped in her tracks. The other person was very close to her, separated only by a wall. She stared intently at the doorway, intending to recognize the person as soon as possible.

close!

Soon, black leather boots stepped out of the room, black trousers rolled up, revealing a man's solemn face.

"Old Qi?"

Chen Xingtong tentatively called out.

The man's eyes lit up, as if he had found his target, and he mechanically looked at Chen Xingtong.

Chen Xingtong felt an ominous premonition surge up instantly, and mentally gave him the middle finger.

The next moment, Qi Tongli's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he attacked Chen Xingtong as if he had spotted prey.

"Damn it!" Chen Xingtong tried to dodge, so she turned and retreated.

However, the other party was persistent. Qi Tongli's physical fitness was much better than hers. He took a few steps and came directly behind her. He suddenly grabbed her collar and pulled her back to the front.

"Waaah!" Chen Xingtong cried out in pain as her throat was constricted by clothing, and she was forcibly dragged back.

With her feet off the ground, she was unable to twist and exert force, and instantly received a brutal stab kick to her waist. The force was so great that Chen Xingtong was momentarily dazed.

When I came to my senses, my body was already uncontrollably crashing into the wall.

"boom!"

The immense recoil caused her to suffer excruciating pain once again, but thanks to the White Walker's constitution, even with multiple fractures throughout her body, she was able to stay alive.

She endured the pain that made her body feel like it was falling apart, struggled to sit up, and glanced back at the man who was approaching step by step.

That face was cold and unfamiliar.

Chen Xingtong gritted her teeth, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, but she still insisted on trying to stand up.

She's used to being a spoiled princess and has fallen far behind in terms of physical fitness.

"Old Qi, wake up!" she called out with difficulty.

The other side ignored them and did not rush to attack; only the sound of leather boots echoed in the corridor.

"Da da."

The oppressive feeling came with each step, as if Qi Tongli might suddenly accelerate and throw two more punches at her at any moment.

Seeing that her calls were ineffective, Chen Xingtong could only struggle on her own, slowly standing up by supporting herself with her hands on the ground.

She had just regained her footing when she turned her head and felt a gust of wind rushing towards her. Qi Tongli was already close at hand, his fist looming large in front of Chen Xingtong's eyes.

boom!
Chen Xingtong hurriedly raised his hand, but his elbow couldn't withstand the force, and his body flew out again. He groaned and stuck to the wall. After the force subsided, he fell to the ground.

"Cough cough." She couldn't help but exhale the metallic taste in her throat. She wanted to speak, but her chest felt extremely tight. Even raising her hand was quite difficult. Her hand bones must have been broken. Every breath felt like her internal organs were being burned by fire.

The old man went all out.

Chen Xingtong spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped her lips, and her gaze toward Qi Tongli gradually sharpened.

The effect of "mutual destruction" seems to be even more ruthless than imagined, which explains why Qi Tongshan had such a tragic incident with her mother back then.

The most urgent task now is to find a way to manipulate the "self-destruction" to restore Lao Qi's sanity, otherwise my life will be over.

Damn, I can't believe it!
Chen Xingtong looked at Qi Tongli, who was so close to her, her indifferent expression revealing no emotion whatsoever, unlike the hysterical guards.

Damn, I can't see anything wrong.

Chen Xingtong gritted her teeth inwardly.

Suddenly, Qi Tongli's eyes lost their luster, his head drooped, and he stood stiffly in place, like a puppet that had lost its control.

Ok?
Chen Xingtong sensed something was amiss.

She dared not make any rash moves, while simultaneously panting and adjusting her breathing rhythm, wary of Qi Tongli's sudden outburst.

The sound came again from the room where Qi Tongli appeared.

"Oh, it's been a long time."

A woman's voice drifted softly from the room.

Chen Xingtong's expression turned serious, and her face became cold and stern.

That voice is exactly the same as hers.

As expected, the woman slowly walked out of the room. Her expression was cold and aloof, and her eyes were alluring and seductive.

Today, she wore a pure white off-the-shoulder dress that accentuated her delicate collarbones and slender neck, while the diamond carvings on her chest sparkled brilliantly.

Chen Xingtong never knew she could be so feminine.
