Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 96 - 69: Got You!

Due to the events happening in the livestream, the frequency of comments from the netizens increased several times over the usual.

This invisibly boosted her popularity value.

The result was continuous streaming, attracting many newcomers.

At first, they found it quite interesting when they joined.

[This is the first time I’ve seen a livestream like this, is this... an escape room?]

[And it’s in first-person perspective too.]

When they heard Mu Yunchu telling that person to run upstairs, a lot of people started cursing her in the comments.

[Does this streamer even understand? Is she trying to create drama on purpose?!]

[I heard the girl lives on the third floor; in this situation, why not run downstairs, what’s the point of going upstairs?]

This old residential area at most has eight floors.

Running upstairs is exhausting, and there’s nowhere to hide.

[This streamer is joking, sending her to her death.]

[Luckily, this is fake; otherwise, this girl would be killed by this unscrupulous streamer.]

[What fake! That’s a real murderer!]

[What???]

[Isn’t this supposed to be a staged survival game?]

After being told the truth, the same thought appeared in the minds of all the netizens:

It’s over, this girl is doomed!

...

Watching the white figure frantically running ahead, the man gripped the knife tightly, a bloodthirsty smile slowly forming at the corner of his mouth.

In his view, Mi Xue was already a corpse at this moment.

She was merely running for a bit longer.

So when he saw her run into the stairwell, not only did he not hurry, he even gradually slowed down.

He took out his phone and made a call to his lookout buddy on the first floor.

But just as he was about to tell his partner to intercept and kill the girl coming down,

Mi Xue suddenly changed direction in his sight.

She didn’t run downstairs.

Instead, she headed upstairs.

He paused, swallowing back the words on the tip of his tongue.

The male voice on the phone was impatiently urging.

"Hello? Why aren’t you talking? Did you get the money?"

"What took you so long? Don’t tell me your old habit resurfaced, and you can’t control yourself?"

"Stop wasting time, if anyone sees us killing, we’re done for!"

Both of them had just been released from prison.

They wanted to gamble a few rounds but had no money, so they targeted Mi Xue’s neighbor.

They dared to be this bold because this old area had no surveillance cameras.

Unexpectedly, Mi Xue witnessed the whole thing.

This was his first murder, but not his first assault.

He went to jail for almost beating someone to death, making the victim unable to take care of themselves for life.

Today, the knife had tasted blood, and his murderous instinct was further aroused.

His eyes were bloodshot, unable to think of anything else.

He only wanted to silence Mi Xue.

That way, no one would know of his crimes.

Ignoring the noise from his accomplice on the phone, he hung up and picked up pace in pursuit.

Yet in these two or three minutes, he’d already given Mi Xue some time to escape.

When she reached the fifth floor, she remembered Mu Yunchu saying not to run any further up.

If she remembered correctly... this floor should have a storage room.

With nothing but a simple, flimsy door.

But at least it was a hiding place.

However, before that, she needed to do something to buy herself more time.

Thinking this, Mi Xue took off the extremely bright white jacket she was wearing...

...

The man had already chased upstairs, gradually slowing down compared to the earlier full-speed chase.

This way, he could listen to Mi Xue’s footsteps.

For some reason, this gave him extreme pleasure once more.

When Mi Xue reached this floor, she didn’t go further up.

So he could be certain, she was on this floor.

Looking down the corridor, it was just a few dozen meters long, all the house doors tightly shut.

Just from this, he couldn’t pinpoint Mi Xue’s location.

But... having not heard any doors open, it meant she didn’t enter any apartment.

As he raised the flashlight in his hand, he stopped as the light swept over a spot.

Staring at the half-meter-high iron box, he silently curved his lips.

It seemed she was hiding in there.

As he slowly approached, his grin grew wider.

Looks like the woman was utterly panicked, not noticing her coat caught in the door.

He unconsciously imagined the moment he opened the door, seeing her terrified expression.

And the scene when he thrust the knife into her chest.

He became impatient, wasting no more time, and violently swung open the electrical box door.

The smile froze on his face.

Inside, there was only a coat and a pair of shoes.

The grinding of his teeth echoed as rage surged.

She had tricked him!

In a fit of anger, he slashed at the coat a few times, then madly ran upstairs, starting a floor-by-floor search.

...

Mi Xue, barefoot, finally managed to place the table in front of the storage room door.

She knew her little trap wouldn’t fool the murderer for long.

So she couldn’t completely relax just yet.

She slipped out the window, stepping onto the balcony.

It was already cold on northern autumn nights. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Without a jacket, she shivered in the night wind.

Looking down, she took a deep breath.

[No way, you’re not going to jump down the building!]

[Don’t do anything rash, this is the fifth floor!]

Even with low ceilings, falling from the fifth floor would certainly be fatal.

Seeing this, netizens immediately started persuading her.

However, Mi Xue had her own considerations.

This storage room faced her family’s balcony above.

And on her balcony, there was something that might save her life in this situation.

She looked down at the large opened umbrella.

Taking a deep breath, she began climbing down the balcony piping.

Just then, she heard a banging noise inside the room.

The furious murderer was kicking the door...

Her heart sped up uncontrollably.

Almost leaping out of her throat.

Hand over hand, she carefully moved downward.

Just reaching the fourth floor, when a loud crash resounded as the door finally gave way.

Mi Xue understood.

The door of the storage room had likely been busted in by the murderer.

In less than five seconds, the voice of a man reached her ear above.

"Got you!"

Mi Xue:!!!

She looked up suddenly, seeing him with no intention of grabbing her, but rather taking the axe from the storage room, chopping at the piping.

A gasp escaped her as her eyes widened instantly.

He meant to make her fall to death!

Mi Xue could clearly feel the piping in her grasp trembling...

And the phone in her chest pocket recorded it all.

The fifth strike.

The pipe was thoroughly damaged.

Mi Xue’s body uncontrollably fell outward.
