A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

Chapter 448 Take the initiative

"Because of this? Why?" Xiang Yuntian asked with a face full of suspicion.

Bai Mengfei slowly let out a sigh of relief, and then said, "Actually, he had many opportunities to take our lives before, but he never did. Perhaps it was because after killing the forensic doctor Bai, he realized the seriousness of the consequences, so he dared not kill easily again."

Xiang Yuntian seemed to understand but not quite. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright, but in any case, our top priority right now is to ensure our own safety. Whether he intentionally let us go before or had a bigger conspiracy, from now on, the three of you must not leave my side. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you."

At this moment, Miao Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "But what about Li Yin?"

As soon as Miao Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Bai Mengfei said, "Right now, all we can do is pray that Li Yin is safe and sound. But judging from the current situation, Li Yin may have already met with some misfortune, so let's not have too much hope."

Xiang Yuntian nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, we can barely take care of ourselves right now. So let's not worry about that for now and wait until we can make contact with the outside world."

Before Xiang Yuntian could finish speaking, everyone heard a "whoosh" sound coming from the second floor, a sound like the sharp sound of a knife tip scraping against a wall.

As the only man present, Xiang Yuntian immediately stepped forward and quickly shielded the three women behind him. At the same time, he instructed Bai Mengfei, "If anything happens, take them away and don't worry about me."

"Leave? Where can we go?" Bai Mengfei shook her head secretly. "It's better to stay here. If he dares to come, we'll deal with him together. I don't believe that the four of us can't beat him alone."

As soon as Bai Mengfei finished speaking, Miao Xiaoxiao continued, "In that case, why don't we take the initiative and turn defense into offense?"

They discussed it amongst themselves and finally came to a conclusion: the four of them would go upstairs together to find out what was going on.

So, led by Xiang Yuntian, the four of them carefully and slowly walked upstairs.

As soon as they went upstairs, they saw an arm in the hallway. Bai Mengfei noticed the bandages on the arm and immediately said to Xiang Yuntian, "This is He Bin's arm. It looks like he's been brutally dismembered."

Xiang Yuntian nodded calmly.

Miao Xiaoxiao and Han Xue were already pale with fright and speechless, so they could only follow silently behind.

After walking a while longer, they saw one after another the arms, legs, eyes, ears...

The entire second floor was filled with the remains of He Bin's body.

Upon reaching the end, Xiang Yuntian discovered that the only missing piece of the corpse was He Bin's eyeball.

Xiang Yuntian stopped and turned to look at Bai Mengfei.

Before he could speak, Bai Mengfei said, "Based on the clues we have so far, the murderer is very likely him. He Bin's body is missing his left eyeball, which is exactly his usual modus operandi."

Full of curiosity, Han Xue asked, "Who exactly is this 'him' you're talking about?"

"He's the serial killer!" Bai Mengfei said solemnly. "We've been trying to catch him, but we haven't succeeded. Judging from the current situation, it's clear that he's already here."

"Is he the killer of that serial murder case involving teenage girls?" Miao Xiaoxiao seemed to know about it. "I heard that after committing the crime, the killer would dismember the body and only take one part of the victim's body at the end."

“That’s right!” Bai Mengfei answered confidently.

Miao Xiaoxiao continued, "But it's said that the murderer is very cunning, and the police have been unable to bring him to justice." As she spoke, she looked at the wreckage on the ground, couldn't help but shudder, and continued, "It looks like we might really be going to lose our lives here this time."

"No!" Bai Mengfei said firmly.

Hearing Miao Xiaoxiao's words and seeing the terrifying scene before her, Han Xue was already panicked. The negative emotions she had been suppressing surged up like a flood bursting its banks.

She cried out in a panic, "Oh no! What do we do now? I don't want to die! I'm so young, I really don't want to die!"

Unlike Han Xue, Bai Mengfei didn't panic. She stepped forward and encouraged Han Xue, "Don't worry, everything will be alright. With the two of us forensic doctors here, as long as you don't leave us, you'll be safe."

After hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Han Xue nodded secretly.

However, the four were unaware that from within that dark compartment, an eye was intently watching them. That gaze was sharp and filled with a sinister aura.

That gaze was clearly fixed on Han Xue. Therefore, the next potential victim is very likely to be Han Xue.

By evening, none of the four had any appetite, and they sat together. Each of them had a solemn expression and remained silent, the atmosphere so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Sitting there like this was really awkward, so Bai Mengfei broke the silence and said to Han Xue, "Try again to see if you can make contact with the outside world?"

Han Xue took out the communication devices again and tried them, but found that she still could not connect.

She shook her head secretly and said to Bai Mengfei, "It's no use. It seems we can only wait until the boatman comes in a couple of days before we can leave here."

"We have to wait two more days!" Miao Xiaoxiao said with a disappointed look.

Bai Mengfei nodded gently and said helplessly, "This is the only way we can do it."

Just then, Xiang Yuntian suddenly uttered a single word: "Listen!"

Hearing his voice and seeing his sudden reaction, everyone turned to look at him. Then, the three of them joined him, listening intently.

All I could hear was a loud splashing sound outside; it must have started raining heavily.

"It's raining," Bai Mengfei said softly. "It looks like we can't leave here now."

Miao Xiaoxiao suddenly yawned and said, "I'm a little sleepy. I wish I could take a nap right now. To be honest, I regret coming here for tourism. Now, thinking about He Bin's fate, even if I fall asleep, I'm sure I'll have nightmares."

Bai Mengfei immediately stood up, walked to Miao Xiaoxiao's side and sat down, leaning her shoulder on hers for her to lean on, and said gently, "Then rest on my shoulder for a while."

"Is...really okay?" Miao Xiaoxiao looked at Bai Mengfei, flattered. "If I sleep on your shoulder, what will you do?"

Bai Mengfei smiled slightly and said, "I'm not sleepy at all." She was indeed not sleepy at all, because the terrifying environment she was in was somewhat like the morgue where she had worked. Having long been accustomed to life, death and terror, she felt more at ease.
