Day of Imprisonment

#397 - Falling from a building

Several young men who thought they were in good shape charged forward with weapons like sticks, but they were immediately cut down by the murderous maniacs.

Because these maniacs didn't defend at all.

You hit me, and I wouldn't block or dodge. Hit me as you like. At the same time, my knives, axes, and hammers would ferociously hack, slash, and smash, and three young men would fall into pools of blood.

When the remaining people saw this, the courage they had managed to muster instantly dissipated, and they were scared out of their wits. The people in the back ran away first, while those in the middle either wanted to run or still wanted to persist.

And those who persisted were mercilessly killed by the maniacs in the time that followed.

As a result, the most organized counterattack by the survivors ended in failure.

What followed was simply the maniacs' hunting time.

Third floor, women's restroom.

Qiu Kui and Xiao Xuan were hiding in one of the stalls, barely daring to breathe.

Both of them were terrified.

Xiao Xuan was covered in the blood of some unlucky soul, possibly even brain matter. At that moment, there was a very obvious smell of blood that made people nauseous.

But neither of them dared to make any noise.

Because just a moment ago, someone had run past the restroom outside, screaming, their footsteps thumping loudly. Before long, the screams stopped abruptly, and they could hear some strange noises, like a dull blade hacking at flesh and bone.

The two women were trembling at that moment.

Their eyes were filled with horror.

Only when they could no longer hear any movement outside did Xiao Xuan tremble and whisper, "Qiu... Sister Qiu, what should we do?"

Any girl would be scared out of her mind if she encountered something like this.

Xiao Xuan was no different.

And Qiu Kui wasn't much better off, actually.

"Is there still no signal on the phone?" She took out her phone and tried it, but it really didn't work.

"I'm scared," Xiao Xuan's eyes were full of fear.

Because she knew very well that once the other staff members outside were killed, those maniacs would definitely conduct a carpet search, and it was only a matter of time before they were found.

Death was terrifying.

The process of waiting for death was even more terrifying.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Qiu Kui could only try her best to comfort Xiao Xuan. She was also trying to calm herself down. Before, they had tried to escape from the windows on the first and second floors, but the windows here were all fitted with security bars.

What was originally meant to prevent thieves from climbing in from the outside had now become a cage trapping them here.

"Over there, there's a balcony that's not enclosed. We can find some ropes, maybe we can climb down," Qiu Kui thought of a solution at this time.

Perhaps it was the only solution.

Xiao Xuan nodded repeatedly, "But where can we find ropes? What if we just jump down?"

"No, the third floor is more than ten meters high. If we jump down directly, we'll either die or be crippled," Qiu Kui shook her head. She looked at the blinds in the restroom at this time, "Maybe these can be used. Also, I remember there are curtains in some of the other rooms, or bed sheets will do. Tying them together can also be used."

These weren't very difficult escape methods to think of. Many movies had similar scenarios.

"Then, what if we're discovered while we're looking for things?" Xiao Xuan's mind was filled with images of several people she knew being hacked to death alive.

"I... I'm still scared," Xiao Xuan's legs were weak.

Qiu Kui gritted her teeth, "Then I'll go. You hide here first and don't make any noise. I'll come find you after I tie the sheets and curtains together."

"Okay, okay," Xiao Xuan had no other choice.

She was really afraid to go out.

Even though she knew very well that staying here was equally dangerous.

But relatively speaking, the probability of encountering the maniacs outside was higher.

Maybe those maniacs were hiding in some room, and they would be hacked to death as soon as they entered.

Qiu Kui quietly came out of her hiding place. She had already taken off her shoes at this time.

Walking barefoot made no noise.

She moved very slowly, like a frightened rabbit, her ears perked up, and any slight movement could cause her to react instinctively.

There was no one outside the restroom, but there was blood on the ground, and there were traces of something being dragged, leaving a shocking trail of blood.

This made Qiu Kui's scalp tingle.

She quickly groped her way to a room in the opposite direction.

Open the door, close the door.

There was no one inside. She quickly began to rummage for bed sheets and pulled down the thick curtains at the same time.

The windows here on the third floor were not fitted with protective bars. The windows were very small and could only be opened a little. People couldn't squeeze out, and even if they did, there was no support point outside. Moreover, she wasn't good at climbing.

Continue searching.

As a result, unexpectedly, she found some tools under a cabinet.

There were pliers and a screwdriver.

Qiu Kui looked at the slender screwdriver and picked it up.

This thing could also be used as a weapon if stabbed.

Picking up the screwdriver was just to embolden herself. Qiu Kui naturally knew that she couldn't fight those maniacs. Several strong young men couldn't do it before, let alone her.

Soon, the curtains and sheets were tied together end to end, and they looked usable. The length was probably seven or eight meters.

And the windows on the first floor all had protective bars. Even if the length wasn't enough at that time, she could use the protective bars on the first floor to climb down.

Qiu Kui walked out, but just as she was about to go out, she saw a scene that terrified her.

A killer walked into the women's restroom where they had been hiding.

"Xiaoxuan!"

Akina was startled, and at this moment, she became anxious.

She wanted to do something, but fear, like a cold hand, was tightly gripping her throat, and the shout she prepared to warn Xiaoxuan to run seemed impossible to utter.

Because she realized something.

Now was an opportunity.

The killer's attention was drawn to Xiaoxuan, so she could take the opportunity to escape.

There should be plenty of time to tie the sheets and curtains to the edge of the windowsill and then escape down.

Soon, Xiaoxuan's screams came.

At this moment, a trace of struggle appeared on Akina's face, but soon, she made a choice.

She ran towards the third-floor balcony.

Feeling guilty, Akina also knew that even if she went to the women's restroom, it would be useless.

It would only be throwing her life away.

Running to the balcony, she hurriedly tied the tied sheets and curtains to the metal railing, and threw the rest down.

At this moment, Akina looked back at the direction of the women's restroom.

Immediately afterward, she only felt her scalp tingle.

Over there, the killer, holding a dripping knife, was looking at her.

She panicked and was about to climb over the railing when the killer moved, running over extremely quickly.

Akina was extremely panicked at this moment, she grabbed the curtain and immediately turned to climb down, but just as she climbed over, her hair was grabbed by the killer who rushed up.

In great pain, she was horrified to find herself being pulled back by the other party with one hand.

At this moment, Akina's heart turned cold.

Death was imminent, and at this distance, she could clearly see the rolled edge of the knife in the killer's hand, as well as the minced meat and blood on it.

Almost instinctively, she stabbed the other person's neck fiercely.

With the screwdriver she had found earlier.

Obviously, the killer did not expect that a lamb-like prey would fight back at this moment.

So he was unprepared.

As a result, the screwdriver directly pierced in.

Akina was thrown to the ground, and the killer took a few steps back.

Blood was gushing out of his neck.

Akina, trembling, was frightened, the screwdriver in her hand was covered in blood, extremely slippery, and her hands trembled so much that she couldn't even hold it steady.

The killer was obviously enraged and rushed up.

However, because there was a lot of blood on the ground, the killer slipped, his body tilted forward, and he collided directly with Akina, who was already weak and was barely holding on, and couldn't muster any strength at all, and also fell backward.

But behind her was the edge of the balcony.

As a result, the killer and she fell off the balcony together.

There was a loud bang.

The killer fell heavily below.

Falling from a height of ten meters, the killer couldn't get up at all, and if you looked closely, there was a screwdriver stuck in his chest.

The other party only struggled for a moment before stopping moving.

As for Akina, she seemed to be lucky, she grabbed the curtain she tied when she fell, so she was hanging above, and didn't fall down.

But, she was also at the end of her rope.

Fright, injury, fear.

Exhausted all her strength.

She was about to lose her grip.

Vaguely, she seemed to hear a certain voice.

Like a hallucination.

The voice said that she had killed a killer and received a [Memory] as a reward.

"Memory?"

Akina felt that she must be crazy, otherwise, how could she have auditory hallucinations?

Suddenly, she seemed to feel something and looked up.

She found that on the edge of the balcony, four other masked killers were leaning over and looking at her, one of whom was planning to reach out and pull her up.

At this moment, Akina made a choice.

She let go.

Even if she fell to her death, she couldn't be caught.

At least, she could choose her own way to die, instead of being killed like livestock.

The feeling of falling was terrifying, but soon she crashed to the ground.

Akina knew she was going to die.

At this moment, she thought of Xiaoxuan, of many people, many things, and of her dreams.

There were too many regrets.

But she couldn't decide her fate, but where did these killers come from? Why did they kill people at random?

With this question in mind, Akina felt like she was falling into an endless darkness.

But it seemed like the next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.

The alarm clock beside the bed was ringing, she was stunned for a moment, and didn't even turn it off immediately.

She looked around.

She was in her rented house.

Outside, the sky was slightly bright, it was a little after six in the morning.

"A nightmare?"

At this moment, Akina breathed a sigh of relief, and then lay back on the bed, although she knew she was dreaming, her heart was still beating thump-thump-thump, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

"But that dream was too real."

It took a while to calm down, and Akina started to get up and brush her teeth and wash her face.

She needed to pick up Sister Juan before eight o'clock.

And that dream was quickly forgotten by her, but when she picked up Sister Juan, she was originally going to go to an outdoor location, but after Sister Juan made a few phone calls, she was a little angry, and after telling her an address, she called her best friend and complained.

"The weather is not good today, so the outdoor location is ruined, but the director said that we can shoot the indoor scenes first. I am just a busybody. My position is not high or low. My development has not been good in recent years. Sometimes, for a role, I have to beg grandpa and grandma and drink until I vomit several times."

Akina, who was driving, couldn't help but shiver when she heard this sentence.
