Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 95 - 68: Upstairs, the Only Chance of Survival
Perhaps the things Mu Yunchu mentioned were too shocking, and many people didn’t react for the first few seconds.
Some viewers even wanted to agree, but when they spoke halfway, they realized something was off.
[Yes, yes, yes, the streamer said your room has... what? Wait? What did you say is in Youren’s room?]
[A murderer???]
[When? Now? Staying in the same room as Youren?]
[Then what are you waiting for, hurry and call the police now!]
"Wha-what?"
Mi Xue blinked her eyes and forced a smile.
"You... must be joking with me, right?"
How could there be a murderer in her perfectly fine house?
Besides, she had already locked the door properly when she went out.
Even though she thought this way, her heart still couldn’t help but pound faster and faster, unable to stop.
As if guessing what she was thinking, Mu Yunchu stared at her with piercing eyes.
"He climbed over from the balcony."
Just a simple sentence, but it made Mi Xue’s scalp tingle.
She unconsciously followed the other party’s words and recalled.
Her home indeed had a balcony.
And this balcony was quite distinctive.
It faced south, with no obstructions in front, leading to the main road, so it was particularly sunny during the day.
When Mi Xue bought this apartment, partly for economic reasons, another significant reason was the balcony attracted her.
So she planted many flowers and even vegetables on the balcony.
In the middle, there was a small table where she could roast some oranges and brew some tea in the evening.
But...
This house always had a problem that bothered her.
It was that the distance to the neighbor’s house was quite close.
From the neighbor’s balcony, if one was careful, they could step over to hers.
At that time, she was debating whether to seal it off, but in the end, she couldn’t bear to.
Additionally, as she gradually became familiar with her neighbor, she completely abandoned the idea.
Just as she thought of this, Mu Yunchu continued speaking.
"He sneaked in, killed your next-door neighbor, but was tripped up by the camera on the victim’s door while trying to leave."
Because he rushed into the room when the neighbor opened the door, he wasn’t captured on camera.
However, if he wanted to go downstairs through the corridor, he would have to be recorded by the surveillance.
"At the critical moment, he discovered this balcony."
He could just as easily ransack some valuables in Mi Xue’s room.
Unexpectedly, Mi Xue returned home at this moment.
He had no choice but to hide on the balcony.
Mu Yunchu revealed everything, including the layout of her house, leaving Mi Xue with no other choice but to believe.
She felt like crying now.
Her legs were weak.
She didn’t know if it was just her illusion, but she could even feel that there was a pair of cruel eyes staring at her from an unseen place.
It seemed like if she so much as showed her head, she would be killed instantly.
Yet she remembered Mu Yunchu’s advice not to make a sound.
Mi Xue was very aware that doing so would not help her survive and would make her die even faster.
[I can’t take it anymore; I have goosebumps all over, what should I do now?]
[Yeah, is it still possible if we call the police?]
[Reporting to the police is a must, but at least you have to get out of that room first!]
After all, every second spent with a murderer is a second of danger.
Luckily, at this time, she could still hear Mu Yunchu’s voice through the earphones.
It made her feel like she wasn’t alone.
Mu Yunchu told her, "Try to stay calm and natural, and just get out of the house first."
As long as she stepped out, there would be a chance to escape.
Mi Xue didn’t dare answer, only nodding silently in her heart.
Trying to act as usual, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she almost bit her tongue.
"Ah!"
"How could I leave the groceries I bought at the supermarket?"
Mi Xue pretended to talk to a friend on the phone.
"Xiao Li, you’ll have to wait for me; I need to go down again."
As she spoke, she walked out.
Even though she kept telling herself not to panic and to stay calm, her facial expression was already taut and out of the ordinary.
The distance, which usually felt so short, suddenly seemed exceptionally long.
Why didn’t her kitchen have a door leading to the outside corridor???
Since she knew that the murderer was currently standing on her balcony, Mi Xue instinctively controlled her gaze and didn’t look in that direction.
But the consequence of doing so was kicking unknown objects on the ground.
When she accidentally kicked over a water bottle in the corner but didn’t pick it up immediately and took a step forward,
her heart skipped a beat.
Oh no!
She was too nervous!
At the same time, Mu Yunchu’s voice came through the earphones.
It drove the last bit of luck she had out of her mind.
"Run quickly!"
"He knows you’ve discovered him!"
The curtain on the balcony behind her rustled, and a cold draft rushed in; she knew something was coming at her.
All the blood in her body began to flow backward, rushing to her head, making her scalp numb in waves.
Then, she didn’t dare to breathe and broke into a run.
If Mi Xue had left without discovering anything, the murderer might have taken the opportunity to escape.
But now that he knew his whereabouts had been exposed,
he would definitely not leave Mi Xue alive.
Killing one person is murder, and killing two is also murder.
[Ahhhhh, I saw it! I saw that person, oh my god!]
The phone Mi Xue was holding was facing herself.
In her flight, it might capture the man chasing her from behind at a certain angle.
The feeling couldn’t be more terrifying.
It was almost indistinguishable from being chased to death herself.
[I can’t look anymore; mom, I’m going to throw my phone away!]
This was scarier than those 3D horror movies.
[No, no, don’t just watch; someone quickly identify where Youren is and help report it to the police!]
[I don’t know; I don’t recognize this place at all!]
[I checked Youren’s IP address; it seems to be in North City.]
But an IP address can only locate the province; don’t even think about finding a finer location.
[Besides, she only showed us her community just now, without any landmark buildings; it’s impossible to find her exact location with such scant information!]
Unless there was someone in the live stream who lived in the same community as her.
Only then could they provide valid information when calling the police.
...
Mi Xue didn’t have time to look at what the viewers were saying at all.
After hearing Mu Yunchu’s command to run, she bolted out as fast as she could.
The scenery on both sides flew by; she focused straight ahead, with only one thought in her mind.
Run faster!
Run even faster!
Most of the residents in this community were elderly people, and it got dark quickly in the north.
This time of year, the sun would vanish within twenty minutes.
Mi Xue couldn’t seek help from anyone.
She could only hurry downstairs!
But just as she reached the stairway and was about to go down, Mu Yunchu shouted with unprecedented seriousness:
"Don’t go down!"
"Run upstairs!"
She hadn’t even put her finger down yet.
But she had calculated just now.
Upstairs was the only chance for Mi Xue to survive.
