“… He’s counting which floor you live on.”

The tens of thousands of viewers in the livestream channel turned pale all at the same time.

It turned out that when he raised his finger at her, he was counting the floors…

[He really wants to kill you and silence you! Hug yourself silently.]

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhing. I don’t dare to go.]

[I’m a noob, I’m just delivering food. I’m sorry, I don’t dare.]

[I’m confident, but I live in the city center, which is too far away from the place where the predestined guest is. The police could get there quicker, otherwise I’d go to help her right now.]

This big city had a population of tens of millions and was bustling with traffic. The city where the village was in was very lively, but inside the village itself, <Snowflake> seemed to have been abandoned by the entire world. She was as alone as if she was on an island.

<Snowflake>’s head went blank; her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she felt that the whole world in front of her was distorting into something unrecognizable—the once familiar scenery became extremely unfamiliar.

When she graduated, she went to live in this village-within-the-city because the rent was cheap. Fortunately, the neighbors next door were pretty good, and they would usually give each other small food items like dumplings and steamed buns.

When the neighbors saw that she and her roommate were both girls, they reminded them to pay attention to safety and not to mess with the gangsters in the area. The rent in this village-within-the-city was low, and many questionable people lived here. They often had a distinct temperament and tattoos on their arms, which made them easy to identify.

<Snowflake> and her roommate always kept this well-intentioned reminder in mind and dutifully kept the doors and windows tightly closed every time, so as not to expose their important belongings to others, and they worked hard to protect themselves like how the weak, little animals in the great forest would do.

After working for several years, she was no longer short of money, but she continued to live here. The first reason was that it was very close to her workplace, and the second reason was that she had gotten used to living here.

But now, this village-within-the-city was facing demolition, and her kind neighbors had all left, forced to find other houses with low rents.

In recent days, she watched helplessly as the buildings emptied little by little, and the house that she had carefully decorated drew closer to being demolished, and she felt a little reluctant in her heart. But still, she did her best to adjust her mood and decided to make the best of the situation.

However, she did not expect that her life would take such a drastic turn tonight.

She witnessed a murder.

The murderer was also now targeting her and was about to come and kill her.

<Snowflake>‘s pupils grew large, like that of a frightened bird, and her head was filled with one thought: ‘Run away! Run away now!’

At this moment, she finally recovered control over her limbs, and she immediately left the balcony, running towards her living room.

However, countless viewers in the livestream channel saw that when Snowflake turned around and fled, the murderer—a fierce light flashing in his eyes, a blood stained knife in his raised hand—also turned around and disappeared from everyone’s view.

[Oh my God, when the murderer saw the destined person running away, he immediately turned around and chased after her!]

[Ah ah ah ah! Please pray to the Buddha to protect the destined person from this disaster.]

[Don’t panic, everyone. As long as she stays at home and locks the door, it will be difficult for people to come in. I’ve already called the police and they will be there soon.]

Snowflake held her mobile phone in her left hand and wore wired headphones on her ears. After walking to the living room, she immediately thought of locking the door, so she quickly ran to the door.

However, the moment she stretched out her hand, she and everyone in the livestream channel were stunned.

The green door in front of her was not a normal security door, but a tattered and flimsy metal door. It was covered in rust, and the door lock was from a style from twenty years ago and has long become obsolete.

This village-within-the-city has existed for more than 20 years, and the metal door was getting old. Every time someone pushed the door, it made a squeaking sound. Although it had a locking mechanism, the door itself was as fragile as paper.

Last time, she and her roommate forgot to bring their keys, and they asked the landlord to open the door for them. The landlord was too lazy to look for the key and kicked the inferior door three times until it opened.

After that incident, she and her roommate had always lingering fears. For safety reasons, she and her roommate installed a chain on the door to prevent unwanted intrusion, but on a scale of 1 to 100, it only increased the security from a 10 to a 20.

It could only guard against a gentleman—not villains.

Seeing that this was not going to work, <Snowflake> immediately shook her head and ran to the dining table; she tried to push the table to block the door.

However, the table was too heavy, and she had no choice but to grab the edge and drag it towards the door with all her strength.

The legs of the table scraped against the tiles, making a harsh, shrieking sound. However, no one paid attention to this noise. Everyone’s mind was focused on the murderer who was about to arrive.

<Snowflake>‘s brain has never spun faster than it was doing now.

The nearest police station was five kilometers away, and it would take at least twenty minutes to get here. It only took a minute or two for a person on the other building to run here at full speed.

Although this table was huge and heavy, if the opponent was relentless and wanted to come in, this table would not be able to stop them. At most, it could only delay them for a few seconds.

No, this table can’t save her!
