Chapter 372: The Fourth One
In this life and death situation, Hu Ya’s tragic death did not attract anyone’s attention.
They could only worry about themselves, longing to break away from the chase behind.
However, the Duke was too fast, and he quickly caught up with them. His strong claws targeted Bai Youwei’s back and launched a grab!
Yu Yaqing quickly knocked Bai Youwei down, blocking the strike. But her back was slashed off a layer of flesh!
Su Man turned around and threw the beads at the Duke’s face!
She got 10 beads in the Dollhouse. At this moment, she threw out 5, with amazingly good luck; two burst upon contact with the Duke’s body, blasting his flesh into a mess!
The Duke let out a painful howl, leaning backward and barely managed to keep from falling by grabbing the staircase handrail!
The four women upfront had already rushed up to the third floor and ran deeper into the corridor.
The Duke roared furiously!
He charged up the stairs again, faster than before, stronger than before! Without leaving the women any time to recover, he pounced on them, roaring!
The next second, Su Man hurled the remaining five beads at him!
This time, none of the beads exploded, the Duke only paused slightly before closing in on her and Zhu Shu—
If there were two people he hated the most, it would be Bai Youwei and Zhu Shu!
One unleashed lightning that left him badly scorched!
One summoned a snow monster that bit him until he was covered in wounds!
Bai Youwei’s lightning had been released again and again. He had to stay cautious, but a prop like the snow monster should not reappear, so he did not hesitate to grab Zhu Shu!
The riding crop whipped through the air, making a sound and tightly coiling around his wrist!
“Run!” Su Man held the other end of the whip and yelled.
Zhu Shu instantly rolled to the side, got up, and ran onwards!
The Duke roared with rage, forcefully lifted his wrist, and following the whip, he caught Su Man in his grip!
Bai Youwei lunged at the Duke!
The two of them, one held Su Man’s hand, the other grasped Su Man’s leg.
Zhu Shu’s eyes were rimmed red. The Zhu Shu who had run away came back, fell to the ground, and firmly held Su Man’s waist!
The three women tried their best, but they still couldn’t stop the Duke from dragging Su Man toward the torture room.
All the usable props were gone, leaving them with no way out!
They had no solution!
As the distance to the torture room grew nearer—
Yu Yaqing freed one hand, picked up half a broken sword from the ground, and drove it hard into the floor. As she was dragged along, blood flowed from her palm, and the sword blade traced a streak of blood on the ground.
Bai Youwei’s arm was being rubbed raw against the ground, she looked pale, clutching Su Man’s hand tightly, and kept repeating, “Su Man, hold on… You must hold on…”
Zhu Shu gripped Su Man’s waist, crying uncontrollably. She kept applying force, the tips of her shoes digging hard into the ground, trying to create resistance against the Duke. However, everything seemed in vain.
“Catch me!-” She cried out, “I’ll be your bride tonight! Catch me, you bastard!!!”
The wall outside the torture room swung open.
Zhu Shu screamed hysterically: “No!!!”
“Let go.” Su Man’s lips curled into a bleak smile, “And stop wasting the props. Hu Ya is dead, with only four of us left, someone has to go to the torture room tonight…”
The Duke kills a bride every night; this is an unwavering rule.
If he didn’t grab her, he would grab another bride!
Half of Su Man’s body had already been pulled into the torture room.
Yu Yaqing could no longer hold herself up. She released the bloody broken sword from her hand. Bai Youwei, too, was blocked by the stone wall outside.
The stone wall swung shut, Zhu Shu exerted all her strength to push and beat the wall, but all was for naught.
In the last moment before the wall closed, she heard Su Man say from inside:
“Zhu Shu, about before…I’m sorry…”
