Chapter 318 Escalation of Crisis
She only calmed down after she finished the burger in her hand. She wiped away the tear streaks on her face with her sleeves, sniffed her nose and took two deep breaths, as if she had made a determination.
Tang Xia stood up slowly and looked around her surroundings. She could not sit and wait any longer. It would only let them humiliate her with no holding back.
She tried to find the exit, but with just one glance, it was clear that the basement had nothing but a few boxes of things left behind. After pushing them aside, she still did not find any ways to escape in the form of underground tunnels or things like that.
Looking at the only door that she could exit through, Tang Xia sat on the ground powerlessly. This was basically an enclosed space.
However, just when Tang Xia was starting to get disappointed, the tightly-shut iron door burst open with a whoosh.
Tang Xia’s whole body shook and she looked towards the door. A man, still wearing a mask, walked in slowly. This time around, he carried nothing.
Tang Xia could not hide the fear that was starting to form in her heart. She took a few steps back. That man did not close the door. He smiled sinisterly and walked towards her with a tint of creepiness. “Hey, how’s it going? Was the burger delicious?”
When she heard his voice, Tang Xia, who was still originally a little dominated by fear, suddenly came to her senses. She frowned and looked at the mask man in front of her, asking in shock, “You’re not the same person as just now!”
Obviously, although the man in front of her was wearing the same clothes, his voice and built were very much different than the previous man.
The mask man seemed to not care and walked towards with a sneer. Tang Xia sensed his scary vibe and secretly glanced at the door.
She saw that the door was opened at this moment. Just when the mask man was not paying attention, she suddenly got up and zoomed towards the door.
She basically did not dare to look back. However, when she realized that there was no sound of people chasing after her, she could not help but turn back in confusion. Just when she had run to the door and was just about to step out, two people outside the door suddenly blocked her way.
Tang Xia paused in her tracks but she was not stopped. This was her only chance. If she did not manage to escape this time around, the mask man inside might do something else to her.
Looking at the two men on guard duty, her gaze became firm and she dashed towards them directly.
However, she had underestimated them. She bounced back after hitting their steel-like body.
Tang Xia rubbed her forehead in pain. She looked at them as if she was looking at some monsters. Suddenly, there was an applause behind her. “Your courage is commendable, you deserve an award.”
Feeling creeped out all of a sudden, she slowly turned her head around. She saw the mask man walking towards her in confident footsteps. His gaze was full of mordacity. This time around, she really had nowhere to run to. She could only close her eyes and leave it to fate.
However, the mask man directly grabbed her arm and chuckled twice dismissively. “Since that’s the case, I should reward you well, so let’s go for a walk.”Read More chapter on our Webnovel Club
After saying so, he started walking out without waiting for Tang Xia’s consent. However, Tang Xia did not think that this was a reward, especially when she saw the sinister gaze of his.
Facing the widely opened door and the long, dark corridor leading to the unknown, she hesitated and struggled to not leave. “You lunatic, where are you taking me!”
This time around, her move pissed him off completely. He exerted some strength and pulled her out directly. “You will know later.”
The two guards also made way for them. He dragged Tang Xia along, causing her to stumble a little dishevelledly. After all, this was not a game. She did not have the strength to win a strong man.
Tang Xia took a good look at the dim corridor. She realized that the entire basement were filled with rooms. Many of them were filled with the smell of decay and dim lights.
Looking at the place, Tang Xia could not help but think of the scenes in the movies when people did things that could not see the light of day. The evil chill in her heart intensified.
After walking for an unknown period of time, the mask man suddenly stopped her at the door of a room. After opening the door with a key, he flung her into the room mercilessly.
Tang Xia lost her balance and fell to the ground directly. She cried out in pain. Before she could digest what just happened, the mask man had closed the door with a loud boom.
Tang Xia quickly struggled to get up. She wanted to open the door, but no matter how hard she shook the door it was locked. Looking around her, it was obvious that this room was more infiltrating than the other one.
The ground was eroded by the rust and the wall was peeling off. Tang Xia could not help but feel sick.
Feeling panic, she quickly used all her strength to hit against the door, shouting at the other side angrily, “Let me out! Quickly let me out!”
The door was squeaking from her banging but no matter how much she shouted, no one responded. Just when she wanted to give up, she suddenly heard a movement on top. She looked up and saw the mask man was staring at her through a small window at the top of the door.
“Wouldn’t it be good if you listened? Anyways, no matter how much of a fuss you make, I will definitely not open the door.” After saying so, he looked at her with a gaze full of mordacity and burst out laughing.
Tang Xia did not expect there to be such a small opening on the door. Unleashing her vent-up anger, she suddenly reached her hand out violently, wanting to poke his eyes to turn him blind. Unexpectedly, his reaction was very fast and he dodged it instantly.
The mask man roared angrily, “Huh, trying to play tricks on me? Can’t you just stay still! Seems like I must really show you what I’m capable of!”
Then, he seemed to be giving some orders to the people behind him. Just when Tang Xia was still puzzled, she suddenly heard something amiss behind her. She turned back in shock and saw a door that was about half a person’s height suddenly shaking.
Tang Xia was a little dumbfounded. This was because the sound coming from behind could not belong to a human. The mask man could not help but snorted, “At first I thought you were brave, but I didn’t expect you to be such a coward! What a useless piece of shit!”Read More chapter on our Webnovel Club
At a time like this, how was she supposed to be in the mood to talk nonsense with him? The small metal door suddenly opened with a loud boom and a big wolfhound crawled in, scaring Tang Xia completely, causing her to be flustered.
However, she did not dare to act rashly. She saw somewhere that the more humans run, the more dogs wanted to chase after them. Hence, Tang Xia could only stand still and not move.
The wolfhound looked at Tang Xia and barked loudly. It growled at her and even its fur was standing on its ends.
Tang Xia was originally not very afraid of dogs, but this one in front of her looked too much like a wolf. Even its eyes looked green in this dim room.
The mask man stood behind the door and saw Tang Xia admitting defeat to the dog. He could not help but said sarcastically, “How is it? Were you surprised? Were you shocked? Do you like the big gift I got for you?”
“You’re so despicable! Let me out now!”
However, as if he did not hear, he continued to look at her with a cold gaze. The wolfhound started to approach her and it looked at her as if she was prey. While having the chills running down her spine, Tang Xia still had to pretend to be calm and composed.
Seeing that the wolfhound was getting closer to her, Tang Xia was getting more and more afraid. Her legs turned to jelly and she fell to the ground.
Seeing that the wolfhound was already closing up to her face, she could not help but close her eyes. However, she did not feel the pain that she was expecting. When she opened her eyes, she found the dog sniffing at her pryingly. Suddenly, as if having lost interest, it took two steps back.
Tang Xia felt as if she was brought back to life. Looking at the wolfhound who was sniffing around, she lifted her hand and patted her tiny heart.
At this moment, the mask man reminded her in a cold voice from behind her, “It looks like he’s not hungry right now. I’m afraid he will eat people when he’s hungry.”
Tang Xia was already on the verge of devastation and she almost burst into tears after hearing what he said. She banged on the door and cried, “I’m begging you guys, please let me go. I’ve never done anything against you, why are you doing this to me?”
Seeing Tang Xia crying and begging so desperately, the mask man became a little bit soft-hearted.
He said gently, “In that case, how about I give you a chance? As long as you bark twice, I’ll let you out immediately without saying another word. How’s that?”
Tang Xia, who was struggling and begging at that moment, kept her tears right away. She flared up instantly and looked at the mask man, her gaze filled with burning fire.
“Why are you guys so obsessed with trampling on others’ dignity? Does it give you any pleasure? Do you know that doing this only makes me feel that you’re pathetic?”
Having heard what she said, the masked man was so mad he started laughing. “I’m pathetic? Look at the situation we are in now. Who’s more pathetic!”
“You guys who trample on others just to feel good are merely poor worms who have suffered failures in reality! You’re seeking comfort here!”
Tang Xia’s swift counter-attack caused the mask man to be speechless. He wanted to dash in and beat her up, but it seemed like someone behind him stopped him in time. He then gave up on that idea and snorted as he looked at Tang Xia.
“You wait and see.”
After saying that, he closed the small window that could only expose his eyes before Tang Xia could respond. She heard the sounds of footsteps leaving from outside.
Tang Xia stood up and wanted to bang on the door to question him. However, when she stood up, she saw the wolfhound suddenly turning its head and staring at her. Tang Xia froze there instantly. She could only give up and slowly shift herself to the corner. She crouched down and did not dare to make a single sound.
The wolfhound did not seem to be interested in her. It laid down at one side and fell asleep soundly. However, Tang Xia kept her eyes wide-opened as she kept a constant lookout for any small changes happening around her. The wolfhound was especially the biggest threat to her.
After an unknown period of time, Tang Xia’s body also felt a little sleepy. It seemed to be night time already.
However, after so long, no one came to give them anything to eat. This worried Tang Xia a lot. She still did not forget what the mask man said – it would eat humans when it was hungry.
Listening to the sound of the wolfhound’s breathing, Tang Xia always felt that it might wake up anytime. Although her brain was very tired, she could not sleep at all and felt like she was sitting on a bed of thorns.
