The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: At the End of the Road

The head was hung by a thin rope, swinging in the wind and rain, seeming to fall off but still clinging on...

This miserable feeling, Ji You had intensely indulged in it. A moment later, Ji You exclaimed in surprise, ”If you’re not going to kill me, then just let me go...”

When she said this, she didn’t really believe that anyone would spare her life.

However—

Upon hearing this, the other person actually smiled lightly and said, ”Okay.”

Ji You: ”What?”

She was genuinely shocked.

Then, the person gripping Ji You’s hand tightly like an iron wall actually gently set her down.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Ji You wanted to run, but she forcefully held herself back. She looked up at the person in front of her. Under the hazy night, his facial features were not very clear, but she could see he had short hair, dyed faintly in a linen color, with very delicate facial features...

Ji You asked, ”Why didn’t you kill me?”

She really couldn’t understand.

Unable to understand made her feel uneasy, hanging by a thread...

She thought she wouldn’t get an answer, but then the person in front of her surprisingly said with a smile, ”I didn’t kill you because you are good-looking.”

The harshness and gloominess had left his voice, which now sounded clear and soft.

Ji You: ”...”

Suddenly, she widened her eyes: ”You... you... you’re a girl???” Wait... This familiar voice, this vaguely familiar face, isn’t this the very handsome and cool—

Ji You’s pupils constricted: ”You... you are Chu Jiaojiao?”

Chu Jiaojiao smiled slightly and said, ”Yes.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Chu Jiaojiao said, ”Beautiful people have immunity from death in my presence.”

Ji You: ”...”

Chu Jiaojiao continued, ”Just now, I touched your face; you indeed are beautiful.”

Ji You: ”...”

That statement...

Really is—how creepy it sounds, no matter how you hear it.

Chu Jiaojiao suddenly leaned closer to Ji You, who was evidently stunned, scared, and too shocked to react. Chu Jiaojiao extended her slender fingers, slightly lifting Ji You’s cheek, her face filled with obsession, ”So beautiful.”

Ji You: ”...”

A chill of goosebumps erupted.

This...

This...

This... Before, this girl didn’t seem this creepy. She seemed temperamental, loud, and a bit brutal... Why—why is she so creepy privately!

Oh my—

My life is more important!

Time to withdraw!

Ji You took a step back and said, ”Then—you won’t kill me, I... I’ll just leave then?”

Chu Jiaojiao slightly regretfully withdrew her hand, nodded, and said, ”Okay.”

Ji You: ”...”

She stepped back once, twice, thrice, turned around, and sprinted away.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

After running a distance, having confirmed that Chu Jiaojiao wasn’t chasing her, Ji You couldn’t help but pat her chest, feeling like she had just climbed out of water, drenched in cold sweat.

Ji You’s heartbeat finally settled a bit, and she couldn’t help saying, ”With such a cute and soft name, such a beautiful and graceful appearance, how... how can she have such a twisted personality? Indeed, worthy of being someone who could hang out with Little Cutie.”

Speaking of Little Cutie, she surprisingly didn’t see him this time. Could it be he was eliminated?

It should be.

With Little Cutie’s character even more delicate and fragile than a girl’s, it’d be a miracle if he hadn’t been eliminated.

Ji You stopped pondering these things. Considering Chu Jiaojiao was around that hunting ground for the Cannibal Flower, Ji You dared not go there anymore; she needed to find another trap and continue her hunting task.

Sigh!

In the dark night, Ji You was very cautious, narrowly avoiding several groups of people, but making no new discoveries. It was deep into the night, many freshmen likely had found a somewhat safe place to hide and rest, so there weren’t many people around.

Ji You also wanted to sleep.

It was only the first night, and without proper rest, she wouldn’t have the energy to cope with tomorrow’s battles. But—in the wilderness, with traps everywhere and serial killers lurking... where could possibly be safe?

Ji You rubbed her temples, feeling her experiences of the day were like walking a tightrope, just thinking about it was exhausting.

Strength!

Power!

Power reigns supreme!

If my power matched Yue Qiguang or Yue Qiyuan’s, I wouldn’t need to sneak around; I could stroll out loudly and boldly like Yue Qiguang, screaming and shouting...

Suddenly—

A faint, fragmented voice, gradually getting closer.

Ji You’s expression tensed, she quickly halted, and listened intently—

It was people.

Someone was walking this way, and from the sounds of it, more than one person, getting closer.

Ji You grew tense.

Run?

Or not?

If I run, at such a close distance, I’d definitely be immediately noticed, and if those people are as physically strong as the thug who nearly beat me to death... I couldn’t escape.

Not run?

Wait to die?

Ji You clenched her fists, held her breath, and tried to hide herself in the bushes, hoping that the group would simply pass by without noticing her.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

However—Ji You’s luck, apparently all used up since encountering the thug, had wrapped her in the misfortune of a short-lived ghost.

”Huh?”

”Where is the person?”

”Where are they hiding?”

”I just saw them!”

Ji You: ”!!!”

—Yue Qiguang.

Fate’s twisted sense of humor.

How could he not be forgotten? I barely mentioned him, and he appears immediately.

”Little kitty~”

”Come out~”

”Be good~”

”Daddy will give you a swift death.”

Ji You: ”...”

Damn.

The maniac Yue Qiguang, purposefully lowered and softened his voice, talking like he was coaxing a pet, utterly devilish.

Beside him, Yue Qiyuan pointed his hand, accurately revealing Ji You’s location, saying: ”There...”

Since mysteriously losing 100 points, Yue Qiyuan both furiously sent complaint letters to the instructor and vigorously earned points, and now, joining hands with his idiot brother, they had killed 80 people.

However—

The loss hadn’t been recovered.

Yue Qiyuan’s current points: -10.

That’s right.

Negative ten points.

This glaring number annoyed the usually composed Yue Qiyuan, even his foolish, idiotic brother had more points than him, how could Yue Qiyuan bear this?

Killing!

Continuous killing.

Only killing... could relieve the grief.

Yue Qiyuan, merciless and cold, pointed a finger, and Ji You was immediately like a fish on the chopping board.

Ji You: ”...”

She seethed with hate.

Yue Qiguang noticed, and indeed, smugly walked over, his face wickedly saying: ”So the despicable little bug hides here; I ask you, daddy told you to come out nicely just now, why did you hide?”

Zhou Qiyuan said, ”Stop the nonsense, let’s finish this and find a place to rest.”

”How do you want to die?” Yue Qiguang looked at the figure hidden in the bushes, loudly demanding: ”Come~ call out ’daddy’, and daddy will give you a swift end.”

Ji You: ”...”
