"Quentin," a voice was heard from above them, just when Gu Mengmeng almost stopped breathing.
Quentin paused for a moment, as if there was a moment of hesitation. But the next second, he exerted more force onto his hand, clearly wanting to defy all odds to finish Gu Mengmeng once and for all.
Snap.
Following a rattle, the grip around Gu Mengmeng's neck loosened. The surrounding air entered her nostrils and mouth abruptly and she gasped in deep mouths of air like a fish out of water, greedy and urgent.
"Ah——!" Quentin's wail pierced through the entire forest. A bloody severed hand was thrown randomly next to him
Gu Mengmeng landed in a soft embrace of a person who then patted her back gently to soothe her breathing, as if he was not the one who severed Quentin's arm earlier.
"Don't be scared, don't be scared, everything's alright."
